WHY WORK? ’
Generally speaking, everybody hates to work, so why work? Why
not go ahead having a good time continuously s Ask that question of
the registrar and he will probably have something to say about the
matter, for more below grades were sent out this past month than at
any other time in the history of the college. "Work”, said a prominent
writer, “is a panacea for many an ill of human kind” and it is also the
only remedy that can be found for the present plague of below grades
at Penn State.
We have had our fun We have attended numerous celebrations,
anniversaries and football games. In fact, many of jus have lived
from one football game to next and it is our belief that the time has
not been wasted, for Penn State students will undoubtedly profit by
the lessons of the gridiron, just as the college will profit by the in
crease in college spirit which this year’s victorious eleven has
brought. Primarily, however, most of us came here to get an edu
cation and the report of the registrar certainly indicates that a vast
number of Penn State students are not getting as much out of their
college course as the college demands.
Work is the only cure and the time to begin is the present The
three weeks that are directly ahead, are undoubtedly the most im
portant of the semester. The work done now will greatly determine
the grades which will be turned in at the end of January. This year
no re-examinations will be given, and what would have meant a con
dition last year will now mean/a repetition of the subject. Every
.J" manWha.xbcervfe'd a* “yellow"slip” will haVe to 1 get to wort. ‘ rio not
pass up the opportunity. Get busy and help make Penn State a
champion in scholarship as well as a champion in football.
SHERWOOD EDDY
As the greatest religious leader of students in America, Sherwood
Eddy came to Penn State for three things. He sought to teach the
dynamic power and love of Christ as the father of men and arbiter of
human destiny. Next he endeavored to show the power and practic
ability of prayer m everyday life. And lastly he sought to help Penn
State students with their daily problems to be better, cleaner men
and women.
He took up the problems now facing the world, explaining the
disarmament situtation. He portrayed the tragic plight of the starv
ing millions of Europe, and showed what a little charity on the part
of America can do to relieve the situation. He outlined the inequal
ities of our industrial system. In all his talk, he displayed a profound
knowledge of his subject.
Following his visit of two years ago, there was a noticeable lift of
the moral plane of Penn State. He brought vividly home to the
crowds that listened to his message, the advantage of the Christian
life. Just as during the past week-end, he flayed the weakness of the
flesh, gambling, drinking, and lust, and as a result Penn State became
a better, cleaner place.
It is unfortunate that Sherwood Eddy came to Penn State when
a large part of the student body was away visiting in Pittsburgh or
home celebrating the Thanksgiving period. By reaching the entire
student body, his visit might have had more far-reaching effect, had
he come at another date. However no matter what the date, Penn
State was proud to have had the opportunity to listen to such a man
Just as two years ago, study classes will be established to carry on
the discussion started by Mr. Eddy. This evening in the Y. M. C. A.
Hut all men who are interested are to meet in order to form such
groups. This part of the program is of just as much importance or
even a little more, than the meetings themselves, and the lasting effect
which is f to come of the meetings will largely come from these groups.
STATE IS NEARLY FREE
OF TUBERCULAR CATTLE
Animal Tuburcular Conference
Considers >Vays of Detecting
Dreaded Disease
Professors A. A. Borland, TV. H. Tom
have, and I X). Wilson, all of tho School
of Agriculture,' have returned from
Harrisburg where they were attend
ing a recent conference called by Dr
T B Munce who Is In charge of tho
Tuberculosis Eradication Board of i
Pennsylvania,
Among other Important matters con
sidered were the rclaUvo merits of tho
sub-cutaneous method of detecting
tuberculosis in cattle, as compared
with tho intra-dermal method Forty
two out of forty six states use tho
latter method for detecting tubcrculor
animals, while Minnesota, Now Jersey,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania uso tho sub
cutaneous method us tho official test.

three hundred herds in Pennsylvania
which served to show the reliability of
1 the two methods It was found that
i the intra-dcrnial test was the more
certain to detect all animals afflicted
with the disease, but that the oub
' cutaneous test was not so likely to
condemn cattle that might possibly be
freo from tuberculosis
Pennsylvania ranks high In regard
to tuberculosis-free cattle, being now
tho third state in the union for horde
which arc accredited and thus found
to be absolutely free from tuberculosis
Seven per cent of tho cattle of this
state are found to bo Infected, while
in New York State, for instance, four
teen por cent of the cattle reacted to
tho test

STATE HERDS CONTAIN
MANY PUREBRED CATTLE
Out of tho 855,856 cows two years
old or over In Pennsylvania, 75, 180
aro pure bred In other words, eight
and orio half por cent of tho cons of
this state are of puro breeding Those
pure bred cattle, it has boon proven
are much more valuable, even for
milk and butter fat production, than
cither grades or scrubs, whilo their
offspring ore usually sold for prices
greatly in excess of those commanded
by grades of animals of Inferior breed
ing
Nor is Pennsylvania by any means
at the bottom of the list in regard to
the number of purobrods owned by her
farmers This state is'the third state
in the union in tho number of Holstein
pure-bred cons, and also holds third
place in number of Ayrcshircs and
Jerseys, while fourth highest number
of Brown Swiss and is surpassed by
ono state in tbo United States in num
ber of pure bred Guernseys owned.
Many people are inclined to think
that the Keystone state is a poor
place for the man who would be a
dairy farmer But tho above quoted
figures certainly indicate
and the large number of high class
pure-bred dairy cattle In Pennsylvania
shows that It is ono of tho moat fav
orable states in the country for those
planning to enter dairy production

DAIRY DEPT. HELPING IN
DIGESTION EXPERIMENTS
Someono has said that the darkest

which hay and grain are converted Into
milk and butter fat Is a most interest

deal of attention from various author!-
ties.
Professor S I. Bcchdel of the De
partment of Dairy Husbandry is at
present just completing a scries of
digestion trials In order to determine
just what becomes of the feed eaten
by young, growing animals, and thus
to determine the protein requirements
for growing cattle This experiment Is
being conducted In cooperation with
I several othor^cxperimei^t, stations, thru

ARTS INSTITUTE CONTEST
Many Students in Architectural
Engineering Department Sub-*
mit Original Designs
Monday night saw the last of a very
busy pel lod ’in the Architectural En
gineering Department when Juniors
and Seniors sent the first of the year’s
,work to tho Beaux Arts Institute, New
York The students havo been work
ing on .the problems which Include a
dtsgln of a Doorway for a Library by
the Juniors and of a Golf Club Build
ing by tho Seniors.
The work this year has in many
ways been superior to that sent In oth
ei seasons due to tho fact that a great
deal of detail was added to get more
pleasing effects Judging by the great
number of medals and mentions that
have conic back in other year, Penn
state should receive high honors for
this set In this department the Penn
St iteuichitccts have been holding their
own with the students of the leading
Aichitectural Schools in tho country

which they load I am a good horse
to travel, but not from choice a good

of the lesser traveled by-ways—the lure
of old .abandoned roads and the trails
that strike through the deepest woods,
