THE BATTALION

Is thoroughness sacrificed for speed?
Is a smattering of disseminated in
formation substituted for knowledge ?
I believe it is. The incident might
have happened in almost any class
room. Half of the courses listed in
the catalogue are covered so rapidly
the students can retain but a few
brief facts concerning them.
We do not blame the teachers. It
is not their fault. It is the natural
result of past conditions, principally
an increase in the field of knowl
edge without a corresponding in
crease in the amount of time de
voted by the colleges to the study
of this knowledge.
The ones who hold our college
destinies in their hands must be cog
nizant of the situation. It is to them
we look for relief. Upon their
shoulders falls the responsibility for
evolving a plan that will enable the
teachers to approach more closely
the ideal in educational methods.
Until it is done the students can
not be expected to obtain more than
a poor substitute for education.
MEETING OF PRE-MED
CLUB WELL ATTENDED
The Pre-Medical Club held its first
meeting of the year last Friday
night. Twenty-nine men were present
and the following officers were elect
ed for the coming year: Hawley,
president; Bissel, vice-president;
Brown, secretary and treasurer.
The Club plans to bring several
doctors and representatives of the
various southern medical colleges
to speak. The club will also assist in
the publicity of a pre-medical course,
as many students fail to come here
to study because they do not think
that a thorough course, which would
satisfy the requirements of a medi
cal college, is offered. For quite
a number of years there has been a
need for a medical library. The
club intends to start one soon and
any books along this line would be
sincerely appreciated.
All men who are taking a pre
medical or a' pre-dental course are
requested to be present at the next
meeting, November 2nd, in Room 1,
Science Hall.

“Mr. Wood, what’s that piece of
paper doing behind your radiator?”
Wood tiptoes over quietly so as
not to disturb the paper, examines
it carefully, and answers:
“It’s not doing anything now, sir.”

lil rather have a
Chesterfield! "
It is considered the height of bad form, they
say, to carry your own sandwiches to a tea—or
to pack your own blanket for the week-end—
but luckily, no such outlandish conventions
surround the smoking of your own cigarette.
"I’d rather have a Chesterfield,” fortunately,
is a phrase which not only remains "good
cricket” in polite circles—but at the same
time brands the smoker as a person of rare
discernment and excellent discrimination.
And small wonder, considering all the re
mark implies. Good taste, top quality, the rare
sparkle of tobacco goodness—all these combine
to justify the choice of that man who thus
shows his keen judgment.
"I’d rather have a Chesterfield”—a neat line,
that—the mark of a real connoisseur and the
password of six million smokers.
