A VAGABOND SONG There is something in the autumn that is native to my blood- Touch of manner, hint of mood g And my heart is like a rhyme, With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time. The scarlet of the maples can shake me like a cry of bugles going by. And my lonely spirit thrills To see the frosty asters like a smoke upon the hills astirj VV e must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls and calls each vagabond by name. -BLISS CARMAN. I SYMPHONY The silhouette of trees against the sky With twigs a delicate tracery of lace Above the quiet shadows that come and lie Like somnolent creatures at their base Sings out a wild, sweet song That has no score or basic harmony. Yet, the melodious voices soft and strong Blend in an everlasting-symphony. -MARY JANE MCGREGOR, '36, 1

M. A. O'REAR Head of Education Department and Director of Training School ALB. and B. S. in Education CUniv. of M00 AM. CUnizfersity of Chicagol Graduate Student CC0lu1nbia Universityj EDUCATION ELL, itls a wonder to me that these Greek fellows like Aristotle and Plato and Socrates couldn't let well enough alone. All on account they knew a little more than most, they sorta' satis- fied that social approval urge, or may- be the mastery impulse and proceeded to spread it around. Now these old boys got just too much attention for any- one's peace of mind, and you know how fads sorta' take hold. Y'see they just started this teachin' racket in a big way instead of in spots. Now 'Socrates got his with the hemlock, Ctree cheers!- well, pun my word lj but that didn't call a halt on anything, and they went right on into this wholesale education gag. Why, look at us now! As if it wasn't enough to eat, and sleep, and take a turn around the doilie 3 they want you to be smartg and whyfore? F. F. THOMPSON Education B. L. and A.M. CUni1z. of Missourij A. M. Cffolumbia Univemityj Graduate Student CLeland Stanfordj I just figure it this way- ignorance is bliss, so why go handin' people all this discontent? And what about this joi de vivre the French are always blowing about? Once you get started it's just too bad. Like Dorothy Parker says: Would I knew a little more, or very much less l Now, we grant that this education gag is as current as pro-Winchellism, and everybody is goin' for it, plain and fan- cy, so there must be somethin' to it. We have always cherished an affection for Mr. O'Rear that made any bee in his bonnet just all right, so if he's mixed up in this education department, we won't even take our complaints to the box of- fice. No! with the staunch fortitude characteristic of a long line of Ozarkian natives, we will suffer in silence. O Tern- pora! O Moresl O Nutz!
