ETTY ENGEBRETSON ',il f' APPRECIATIVENESS One's appreciativeness depends upon one's ability to End truth and beauty and goodness in objective things instead of trying to End them subjectively. It is an interior quality of the heart, somewhat akin to piety and reverence. One may cultivate good tasteg but taste is an adjunct to appreciation not its equal or its counterpart. The appreciative soul experiences joy in the com' panionship of great books, inspiration in the beauties of nature, happiness in the association of friends, delight in the naivete of little children, and humility in the sublime order of the universe. Small blessings as well as large inspire her ad' miration. She places high value on the smallest favor, and shows her gratitude in word and look. All this bespeaks for her a rare culture of mind and heart which depend on depth of insight and power to enjoy.

LOVE OF SCHOLARSHIP The object of the intellect is truth, and hence every normal student is def sirous of knowledge. Too many, how' ever, desire its fruits without its painsg not so the lover of scholarship. She finds joy in the acquisition of knowlf edge as well as in its possession. She is no bluefstocking, no mere factfgatherer, who would carry much learned lumber in her head. Nor does she aim to know almost everything about something, she would know something about almost everything. The lover of scholarship gathers, from the vast abundance of learning, those treasures of learning which wise old Cicero calls the necessary food of youth, the consolation of age, the adornment of prosperity and the refuge in adversity. We choose for this ideal one who ans' wers the description: She is a scholar and a ripe and good one, exceeding wise, fairfspoken and persuading. if .
