Discussion Groups
Reorganized For Term
Freshman discussion groups, spon
sored by the Y M C A, have been
reorganized for the current term, re
port from the office of the “Y” dis
closes. These gatherings, which have
proven very successful in the past,
will be held each Tuesday night in
student rooms of every organization
under the supervision of members of
the faculty.
Such topics as student honor, stu
dent responsibility, hazing, mistakes
in college life, the effect of college on
faith, campus traditions, relationship
between men and women, and the
value of campus popularity will be
discussed. The primary object of these
meetings is not to arouse argument,
but to have each student voice his
opinion on the subject. The discus
sions terminate February 24, 1931.

American Education
Not Fitting Student
For Political Life
PORTLAND, Ore. —(IP)—Ameri
can education is inefficient in prepar
ing the student for participation in
political life, according to Dr. Ed
ward O. Sisson, head of the depart
ment of education and philosiphy at
Reed College, who is now engaged in
a lecture tour throughout the East.
In his address, “A Blind Spot in
American Education,” Dr. Sisson de
clares that the trend of education is
away from politics. More students
are studying ancient history than
American history, he holds, and more
are entered in Latin classes than in
civics classes.
Even the civics which is being
taught in the high schools, he de
clares, and the corresponding political
science courses in the colleges, are
of such a technical and academic na
ture as to prepare the student poorly
for a political career.
The really dangerous citizen, ac
cording to Dr. Sisson, is not the thug,
the criminal, nor the corrupter of poli
ticians, but the apathetic, indifferent
citizen who, by his indifference to
politics, throws the control of Ameri
can political life to the criminal ele
ment.
Less than half of the qualified vot
ers of the country, he says, turn out
for elections, and the whole nation’s
political policy is controlled by a vi
cious minority.
“Chicago,” Dr. Sisson states, “is
an example of the failure of education
to prepare the average student to take
part in his own government.”

package is very real comes from a national farm-to-
farm feed survey. 870 men of Purina have worked
many months, asking at every farm...what do you
feed.. .what do you get from each bagful.. .what does
this feed cost? And now the answer is ready to be told.
42 more eggs in every bagful of Purina Laying Chows
above the average of over 125 other feeds...all for
37 cents. 16 more quarts in every bagful of Purina
Dairy Chows...all for 23 cents. So the story goes.
Every one of Purina’s many Chows, the survey re
veals, carries extra things stowed away in every
bagful.. .the things that make a bag of feed a bargain.
So you can be very sure of an extra Christmas pack
age in your home...sure because so many, many
others are already getting this package... this extra
money that comes to him who feeds Purina Chows.
This is the kind of a Christmas package that brings
many other Christmas packages into your home...
this is the kind of a package you can have every Christ
mas... by feeding Purina Chows every year! Purina
