And they lived happily ever
afterwards!

Once upon a time there was a man whose
life’s ambition was to take unto himself a
pipe. Time and again his heart was set on
some particular pipe—but poor fellow, his
dreams never came true. . .
Until one day a friend, experienced in
such affairs, gave him a few pointers. He
took his friend’s advice; he got some
Granger Rough Cut... It worked! In a few
weeks’ time he was solidly wedded to a
wonderful pipe... sitting pretty, fixed for life!
Indeed, but for Granger many a man
would never know the joy and comfort of
a pipe! Granger is so mild, so mellow, so
cool! Ripe old Burley tobacco, mellowed
Wellman’s way. And cut in rough flakes
that burn slow and smoke cool. . .
Granger’s mission in life is to see that
no man ever experiences a pipe disappoint
ment. . . Just stick to Granger and your
old pipe’ll be a perfect pal—right through
the years. Forever!

Intelligence and ability of fresh
men attending colleges and universi
ties in Louisiana were not as good
during 1925-26 as during the previous
two years, acording to figures re
leased at the recent meeting in Jack-
son, Miss., of the Southern Associa
tion of Colleges and Secondary
Schools.
Freshmen failures in Louisiana in
the last two years were 16.4 per cent,
a drop from third to eigth in stand
ing among the Southern states. How
ever, says Dr. Lyon, who was elected
chairman of this year’s convention,
too sweeping an impression may be
gained from these figures.
The statistics do not mean that the
entire percentage “busted” but mere
ly that the total was derived from all
first year men who failed in one or
more subjects, said Dr. Lyon. Any
number of reasons can be advanced in
explanation of the increase.
More rigid entrance requirements
less efficient preparatory schools or
incompetent instructors in certain
branches were mentioned by Dr. Lyon
as possible excuses. He absolved pres
ent day college life from blame, ex
pressing the belief that lack of ability
was mostly responsible for freshman
failures.
He cited the fact that students who
devote considerable time to sports or
other campus activities frequently
stand higher in their classes than
their fellows.
There are also types who do not
fit into the college world, said Dr.
Lyon, students who strive tut do not
succeed in making the grade. Such
types are advised to give up the at
tempt to master collegiate studies
and enter the busirw->c, s -world.
