is to stay in school,” declared Rob

University of Chicago, in a brief in

“For those who cannot afford
residence work, the universities of
fer correspondence work in some
kind of extension courses.”
Asked about the advisability of ac

are not many Jobs of that kind. I

profitable."

Yeomans Removed by Irate Phi Kappans
As Lawyers Indulge in Oratorical Heaves
Amid gusts, spurts, and heaves of
oratory by the attorneys, swearing of
oaths by witnesses, and denials of
charges by the accused, Jasper Yeo
mans, Decatur, was removed from his
position of sergeant-at-arms of Philo
Kosmean, better known as Phi Kap
pa Literary society, Wednesday night.
The prosecution was creditably
conducted by two distinguished fu
ture lawyers of Georgia and present
members of Phi Kappa, Charles B.
Hood, Waycross, and Herman Eu
gene Talmadge, of McRae and At
lanta. On the other hand the case
of the defendant was nobly and ably
presented by Judge T. Hamilton Lo-
key, of Atlanta.
Judge Lokey, in the course of his
cross-examining and pleading before
the jury, stressed the fact that pre
judice and filthy politics had brought
about the conditions that made his
client a victim of circumstances. He
declared that one of the prosecuting

"Tlio object of a general educa
tion is not vocational or professional
training, but un understanding. It
should develop, not a series of walk
ing encyclopedias, but an intelligent
citizenry," declared Robert M. Hutch
ins, president of the University of
Chicago, in a Washington Day ad
dress in tho Chapel Wednesday.
The speaker wus introduced by
President 8. V. Sanford.
An analysis of tho defects of edu
cational systems in the Uuited Stutes,
und an outline of a system that
would eliminate the major portion
of these defects was presented by
Dr. Hutchins.
“We do not need the census und
the social trends report to tell us
that we have been experiencing an
enormous increase in the number of
pupils at the higher ages and that
this is likely to continue at an ac
celerated pace. We can see this
process going on all around us. We
may also be quite confident that the
present trend toward a shorter day
und a shorter week will be main
tained.
IncreuMil Expense Inevitable
"I see no escape from the proposi
tion, therefore, that the length and
variety of education supplied at pub
lic expense will be multiplied and
extended,” he continued.
For those people who believe that
all governmental expenditures must
be reduced, Dr. Hutchins presented
three methods of disposing of young
poople. First, he suid, there are the
jails, an enormously expensive and
hardly Ideal plan. Second, they may
bo placed In the army or navy, open
to the same objections, und in addi
tion there is tho difficulty of accom
odating young women. Third,
they may be placed in educational
institutions suited to their needs. An
expensive method, he said, but less
costly than either of the otherB.
Who Hhoiild Attend College?
“So it Booms to mu tho most foot
less question that university presi
dents have discussed in recent years
Is, who should go to collage? Where
else is there to go? The question
is not who should go to college, but
what kind of college ho should go
to? And the answer to that ques
tion is that he should go to an in
stitution that is adapted to his Indi
vidual needs and capacities,” the
speaker maintained.

tail tho system of higher education
that prevailed when he was in col
lege. A college education at that
time, he recalled, Involved taking a

Demostlienians Arouse Wrath of Rivals
As Phi Kajtpa's Reputation is Ridiculed
With increasing hate and their
lighting Instincts strained almost to
the breaking point, the loyal Phi
Kuppan brethren listened wnlle their
fair name and the honor of their
society was dragged maliciously
around hy the enemy Ilemosthenians
in solemn meeting assembled Wed
nesday night In Demosthenlan hall.
Phi Kappa was “fished” into a
meeting with their traditional rivals,
upon the solemn promise that they
were to receive smokes and would
listen to an anniversary program hon
oring both societies. Instead they
got rotten cigars and a program that
would have made old Alec Stephens
turn purple with rage. Demosthen-
ian debated the question, "Resolved:
That Phi Kappa Hall Should be Con
verted Into a Hall of Fame for Dem-
ostbenlan Great."
Almost overcome by an immense
flood of tears, shed over the "dead
body of the Phi Kappa Literary so
ciety, Jack Harris, Athens, advised
the use of the hall of the deceased
institution as a Parthenon for the
placement of statues of the great
members of the Demosthenlan so
ciety, in a speech before the latter
organization Wednesday evening.
"That place is not worthy of Buch
a noble use!” declared C. O. Baker,
Macon. "That hall has housed a
stench for many years. It was oc
cupied hy two organizations, one
dead and the other rotten. It was
used by the society und by the Geor
gia Co-op. The Co-op could not
stand the smell of Phi Kappa when
they finally recognized It over their
own. And then the vicinity of that
hall, occupied by the long dead Phi
Kappa society, stunk worse than the
infinite mind could ever Imagine!
"If that hall is used for the hous
ing of Demosthenlan statues,” Raker
continued, "I do not want mine In
