WHY GO TO COLLEGE ?
College Graduate Has Pre ference For
Better Positions.

Wihen asked, "Why Go to College,"
the maj ority of students will answer,
"To enable me to make a better living. " The college gradua te today has
the preference for the better positions with the higher salaries. Suoh
positions more often than not also
give distinction and honor to one who
fill s them.
Another great incentive for going
to college is io obifcain ^ culture and
knowledge. We find a personal satisfaction in knowledge for itself
alone. We want to know what has
been done and wh-at may be done torn ornow in this world of ours.
We mingle with other people from
all kinds of homes. From them we
absorb new ideals and viewpoints.
Meeting so many different types of
individuals gives us social poise which
is of value to us in the higher positions of society. We al§0 find a satisf action and pride in the approbation
of our family and our community.
In addition , college teaches us to
make friends and to mingle in a social way with our fellows. Because of
friendships and social connections
formed , we have a good time and enjoy college life all the more. Someone has said that college has a twofold purpose : First, to give book
knowledge ; Second , t o teach us how
to get along with our fellowmen. We
may narrow these two purposes down
to one : To become useful and selfsuppor ting members of society . In
so far as we use poor English, are
careless spellers, are inaccurat e , and
do not cont inue advancement after
leaving college, we have failed t o
realize our aims in attending college.
Likewise , if we c onduct ourselves
af ter graduation in such a way as to
bring on ourselves the criticism of society and loss of position , we harm
both ourselves and the college ; we
shall have thwarted the very purpose
we had in attending college. Therefo r e, it is up .to the student himself
whether or not college attendance will
prove of lasiting value.

of Pro ject .
Reported For Pract ice.

This is the.time of year wihen Seniors are seeking positions for the
coming school year and are wondering what their chances are of obtaining them. A prediction may be based
upon the success of the Class of 1926
in securing positions.
Two hundred seven ty-one students
gra'duated in June, 1926. Eleven did
not reply to a questionnaire relative
to positions occupied, salary rece ived ,
number of pupils taught, etc. Of
those not located some fifteen are attending normal schools and colleges
and a number of those no t loca t ed a t
the time the questionnaire was sent
out have since obtained positions.
Fur thermore , a few of those not located in teaching positions were married and some f o r other reasons did
not wish to teach during the present
school year. It is safe to say that
not . more than twenty-five to thirty
did not secure positions. It would appear on the basis of the experience
of last year 's graduating class that
the chances of the present Senior
Class in securing positions are most
excellent.
There are other items ot miormation of interest to Seniors growing
out of the questionnaire referred to
above. The number of pupils taught
by 1926 gradua tes in the primary
group is 35; in the intennediate
group , 38; in the Junior High group,
39; in the rura l group, 24.
The average monthly salary earned
by the 1926 pi'imary graduates is
$100.36; intermediate , $102.28 ; Junior High School, #110.79; rura l,
$105.14. The total annual salary that
will ha ve been ea rnod b y all 1926
graduates by the end of the present
schaol year is nearly $20J0.00.

limit, but even then her exceptional
gifts were recognized and the authoi*ities suspended the rules to accommodate the brilliant young student.
Six years later she won the coveted Mendelssohn prize—greatest musical award in Europe—against a remarkable field of much older students.
This prize immediately marked her as
a musical 'fiend' and since that time
she has boon continually in the public eye. Her career has been a succession of triumphs which have won
her a permanent and loyal following.
Elly Ney recently told a Berlin interviewer that "American audiences
are >t)he sanest and healthiest, milsicially spoaking, in the world. "
Madame Ney remained with us a
week last year. She . was very well
pleased with the student audience.
Let us try to make her even more
pleased this year.

Grades are designated by the letters :
A, B, C, D, and E. The lowest passing grade is D. Grade E means failure repitition of the course.
In rating A equals 3, B equals 2, C
equals 1, D equals 0 and E equals 1
(minus one).
Multiply the number of credit
hours in the course by the value of
the letter grade earned. Find the
total sum of such products and divide
this sum by the total number of credit
hours of the courses in which a grade
has been earned. The quotien t thus
obtained is the rating of the student
whose record has been so evaluated.
The following examples are taken
