The Shipbuilder page . . .LITERARQT .. WHY I PREFER TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY As I begin to write this I realize that from the beginning some one will disagree with what I say, and that the city enthusiasts especially, will be among those in opposition, but never- theless I will attempt to present my views on the subject and make clear my opinion. The country to me is a most pic- turesque and impressive place in which to live. As we watch season roll into season, we find excellent op portunities for the study of nature, and yet at the same time we may be doing something for enjoyment. lt is a painter's paradise and the think- er's inspirer. And there are several benefits de- rived from country life. It affords a great opportunity for better health. Exercise in the fresh, invigorating air tends to build one up. And yet this exercise is accomplished not through the feeling of necessity to the counts of 1-2-3-4, but through movements gained by enjoyable sports, such as skating, skiing, hiking, bicycling, swimming, etc., most of which can be done in one's own back yard and which do not require parks or play- grounds as in the city. In the country schools there is a marked appearance of the develop- ment of school spirit. Due to the number of pupils, most every one be- comes friendly and this feeling brings about cooperation in school activit- ies. Also, in small classes the pupils have an opportunity to study the teacher, as well as the teachers the pupils, and they thus gain a better idea and understanding of each other. Then, the community life of today has all the advantages of city life. Stores, which offer delivery service, are in the towns, nearly every one has a car for transportation, and trains which connect with the leading cities are only a few miles away. All the modern conveniences are to be had in the homeg electricity, water, heating systems, etc., thus making the country homes as up to date and as practicable as a city home. Some people always wonder what there can be for excitement in the country, but if they would only live there a year I am sure that they would soon find the answer. There is always some sort of entertainment available. Dances, clubs of various sorts, fairs, and theatres, either in the town or neighboring towns, are examples of some social enjoyments. And so, considering everything, I say, For what more could one ask? Would not any one who had the fitting spirit find life in the country enjoy- able ? ALCESTER WEARE, '38 COMPROMISES IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONAL OF 1787 The Constitution of the United States is the oldest frame for a gov- ernment in use today. Others keep changing, and even civil wars are frequent. Take, for instance, the trouble in France at the present time. The President is struggling to set up a new cabinet from the one fallen. Who knows when the Spanish Civil War will end? And in Mexico and other southern countries the head of the government is changed every few months because of uprisings against the party in power. All this upheaval seems strange to us because it is unheard of in this country. Why? It must be the strong framework on which our gov- ernmental system rests. But this framework was not merely thrown to- gether without thought. The best minds in the country, striving for a common purpose, worked day in and day out for months to achieve this result. In 1785 a group of commissioners from Maryland and Virginia met with Washington at Mount Vernon to dis- cuss boundary lines and trade rela- tions. As these questions were of interest to other states, also, another convention Cwhich proved unsuccess-
