GRAHAM & SONS • on the Corner WEEKLY FRENCH LESSON;; This is the Introduction to the Series of SixteemLessons in Elementary French that Will Be Printed Weekly in' These Columns—They are Supplied by the French Bepartmeig of the College and are Con sidered ,to be of Great Value to All College Students ADVANTAGES TO BE DERIVED FROM R. 0. T. C. FRENCH In speaking of the "COLLEGIAN" Frenth lessons, Dr. Foster says:— •There may be some who will puestion the value of a course of this sort, but, upon closer inspection, it will easily justify itself. For those familiar with the language it will serve as an easy and practical review. For those who have no knowledge of the subject it will_ prove a useful method of becoming ac quainted with its peculiarities. For a soldier it will lay a foundation for a kind of intellectual development which will stand him in good stead when he comes in contact with the French people. For an officer it has come to be recognized that some ability in the speaking of French will be an indispensable requisite for promotion, especially at the front. This. course, brief and to the past, and freed from the usual tiresome detail of grammar and syntax to a great degree, will put the student into immediate, vital touch with the lan guage as a medium of thought expression. If this is carefully mastered; it will be enough to help a person to meet the requirements of ordinary conversation in the routine of daily life." . IL 0. T. C.

Bellefonte this evening to play a return game with the- Academy five. While the game played here several weeks ago was more or less of a walk-away for the yearlings, this evening's contest promises closer competition. Bellefonte is a hard team to beat on its own floor, and the Fresh -men vtill have to play even better than they did in the former game. Their line-up will probably be the same as that which started the last inter-class game. A. DEAL Sanitary Plumbing, Steam, Hot Water Vapor and Vacuum Heating Statf. , College, Pennsylvania.

Robb .19, and Smith 'l9 Why . 11 - ; Should Get-Together I Of the many reasons as to wlly we should "get-together", there -are two 1 which are most prominent and which rshonld influence to the greatest extent the actions and attitude of the studeiit body.`,These two reasons, or motives '.are, (1) selfish or personal reasons, and I F(2) loyalty, resect, and admiration for our college to ouch an extent thai nothing, will be left undone which will express our gratitude for the priceless edtication and<broadening-out we are : :,getting. It is or should be the object of every student :to fit himself, in all possible ways, for the time when he must go out in the . world and make >or break, be of some consequence, or .not, according at his general make-up is big or little (it being taken for granted 1 that his technical knowledge is on a par with the average). Of course in this day of keen competition it is prac tically impossiblet& make "good" with out a thorough technical knowledge or training in the special line of work in which the particular student is in terested. But the ability to go still higher, to be a leader (which is one of the chief aims of a college) depends not only on technical skill, but upon the ability to be a good "mixer", the ability to be able to say and present ideas in a forceful manner to public gatherings, the cultivation of the habit of looking lon both sides of a question, and in gen eral upon personality. In last week's COLLEGIAN were published a few of the obServationS• made by Dr. Sparks during his lecture tour of Camp Meade I and Camp Dix. Some of these "hit home" so hard that no one can afford missing them. OFeil to All •••• From the plan as outlined, this "mix- ing" and this personal gain is open to every student and no one should- let such an opportunity pass even though it were not for the second reason as to why we should "get-together?' This second reason is the duty we owe our college. One of the biggest obli gations which we take upon ourselves as students of Penn State is that of up holding the , good name of the college. We all knoll - that a student is looked upon as a product and as being typical of the particular school from - which he corned. Therefore, our actions away froin and at college should be such as to reflect merit only upon Penn State. The only way in which such a condition can exist is to have at all times a fine, true. democratic spirit among the stu dents, which -in turn can \ only be when every one takes a hearty interest in all college activities, when clean sport is de manded. when college customs ancl_tra ditions are looked-up to. This means that old men (upper-classmen) must at all times be, ay word and action, good examples for new men to folio*. - When the committee announces, defi nitely, their plans and time at which the prog — ram is to be held, let's all "jump in" and make it a "go." For those few days let: our slogan be "I know-every-man-in-college." If we all are able to say • this - we can have the secret slogan "Every-one-In-college knows-me." 1 1M 11111111KIIIIII Hllo.l:lllllll4llnlnniumammunnimmulum r.: Typewriter . , ~ 9 1E I 'll Cure . = ... z . = • • .• E, a RepaifinglE that - Co -- ' i g- .----*.--.; u g T.: _ . ..-. = 1 --1 if your cough remedy could T.=.: I will be here for the next two creeks, 1 "." .T. repairing all makes .o: Typewriters and t 5 talk it would assure you of its Adoig- - -3faatinei .A good opportunity 15 owownpower to stop your cough for all. 1 a quickly, safely, logically and eas- al I = ily.

It-is aimed at making ac qua intiAncesipand developing _these into friendships. .It will make college spirit mean comaraderie.

"Did I say the course is open to everybody? It is, There are no en trance re.luirements except one:_a man must enter. He .must...,_enter into the spirit of the occasion. He must do his part. He must meet the. other fellow half-way. He must be one of the crowd, not a spectator. In order to be a sharer, he must be a giver. What ever he puts in he will draw out with interest. Let every man in Old Penn State invest himself. his whole self and nothing but himself in this "campaign for college comradeship.-_ MANY COLLEGE MEN TAKING ORDNANCE The work in' the - new Ordnance Course which started last Wednesday is now well under way. Contrary to ex pectations, the men taking the course will not be given uniforms until they have finished the work here and have gone to some arsenal ror further in struction, The great amount of office work involved in getting .unifgrms here and the lack of storing facilities, make it impossible for 'the men to be supplied. Those who take up the next course will probably be sent to some moblization camp to be equipped before they come here. About 440 men applied for admis sion to the course, but it was limited to 100. ° Of those examined, nine were rejected on account of physical disabil ity. Heart trouble, defective eyesight or hearing, and lung trouble were: the causes of the rejections. Shop work and French, two subjects_which were taken up in the other courses have been dropped from the standardized sched ule now in effect in this and all other ordnance schools throughout the coun try.
