"Unemployment" Dropped From
Vocabulary
Dr. Center said the word "un-
employment" has been dropped
from the vocabulary of English
instructors and speech experts.
They are using the word "leis-
ure instead, and have turned
optimism upon days of depress-
ion and discovered benefit which
will mean a brighter future.
Miss Center said that "to dis-
charge the responsibility of help-
ing young people to live ade-
quately in the world of to-day
and the unpredictable world of
tomorrow, we must ourselves
play an active role in the Ameri-
can scene, sensitive and alert to

ments.

WHY CONTRIBUTING
EDITORS
The staff

las
of the Tcco Echo
decided that some students

they do. To give this recogni-
tion, it has decided to add to
the staff six students who will
be called Contributing Editors.

Work is the greatest blessing
given the human race. In work
we lose ourselves, our worries,
our griefs. In work we find an
outlet for stored energy and for
ambition and for inspiration.
Work under inspiration, true in-
spiration, is constructive build-
ing for the betterment of man-
kind.
Work can be driving and slav-
ing if it is used immoderately. It
can be made a killing, destruc-
tive mill in which people arc
ground and enslaved until they
are mere puppets, existing but
not living. Work of this kind is
one of the most horrible forces
in the world because it destroys
personalities and takes away in-
dividuality. The most cruel peo-
ple in the world are those em-
ployers who forget that their
employes are as human as they
themselves.
Education is enlightenment. It
is the light that shows real
work, not drudgery, to be kind
and pure. It is the light that
shows the way to eliminate
drudgery and to substitute real
work. It is the light that brings
an appreciation of work for the
joy of working. Education must
go hand in hand with work in

ion of the committee when she

secret of good punctuation, good

writing She went on to say that
"as speech changes, dictionaries
and grammars must change, if
students are to be prepared to

time She adds that, "by ignor-
ing the changes educators lose

year this week on the camp
is a revival of the sp ritual side
of the lives here. The speakers
are men widely known for

This year the Association was
particularly fortunate in
for its speaker such a

His morning and evening talks
have succeeded in raising the
general level of thought and ac-

statements of a speaker make
a lasting impression upon peo-

effects.
May the Y. W. C. A. never
fail in bringing to the campus
at least once every year some
one who will through his actions
and words, leave with -it least
some of the students a lasting
impression that will aid them
in living better lives.

CHECK UP
After the holidays, there is
always a check up to see how
many irregularities there were
in " e holiday schedule. The
results of the Thanksgiving
holidays are rather enlighten-
ing. Upon the consideration that
there are over 700 dormitory
students, the results are fairly
pleasing.
Thrilled with the thoughts of
going home, five students for-

By many, Autumn is consider-
ed the most beautiful time of
the year. The trees are array-
ed in gorgeous color as if to
atone for the death of living
vegetation. The morning and
evening skies are bathed in
glory and present a perfect pa-
geant to any appreciative eye.
The birds are passing south-
ward and are stopping to sing
us hymns of cheer.
It is near the death of the

study shows that all but three
of these mistakes were made by
freshmen. Does that explain
anything?
One incident was rather pecu-
liar. One student signed to
leave Wednesday afternoon with
some of her people and then
went to a friend's room to wait.
In the meantime, her brother
came and asked at the office
for her. After looking on the
books, and finding that sh was
not in the room, the one in
charge found that she had sign-
ed out half an hour before, so
the brother went home. Later
the girl was in the parlor won-
dering why someone hadn't
come for her. She was told
that her brother had come and
had gone. He had to return for
her Thursday morning.
In returning, seven students
signed in the wrong place.
Twenty six were late getting
here, ranging in lateness from
three minutes to one day, two
and three quarters hours. Nine
were only three minutes late.

the tune to the musical revision

playing in my mind. As I was

heard her say, "That's been

Our College Teachers
Thorndike and others tell the
qualities of a good teacher and
give advice on how to be good
teachers, but often the pupils
could give better advice, or at
least practical advice that stu
dent teachers could profit
better.
One of the editorial staff of
the Teco Echo asked two boys
what they thought of student-
teachers. Their answers were:
"I like to have a college
teacher that makes me learn
something, that kind that likes
to go out and play with us at
recess. One that likes to play
football, dodgeball, and a game
we play that I don't know the
name of. I like for her to dis-
cuss the lesson to the point. I
like arithmetic, art, history,
reading and French.
"I do not like for my real
teacher to go out of the room
while student teachers are
taching because I will get into
mischief
"I like to have college teach-
ers that are not hard-boiled.

as much as the hard ones do,
but I like them better. If a col-
lege teacher is hardboiled, I
don't like her and won't study.
