Teach And Practice Thrift, President Tells Students

One of the most important con­tributions which a teacher can make to the community through the classroom is the leaching of thrift, President A. R. Bru-bachcr said today.

Every college student should practice thrift habits, he declared. Dr. Brubacher's opinion, pub­lished in city dailies in Albany during the past week, concludes: "A savings hank deposit is one of the best forms of economic secur­ity yet devised. The state zeal­ously guards the integrity of the bank; deposits will be secure against depressions and fluctua­tions in value; and the depositor may know that his future is as­sured. The savings bank deposit is a badge of economic independence and rugged citizenship."

WE ARE HONORED, TOO

Announcement of the deserved election of Dr. Haro ld VV. Thompson to membership in the Royal Society of Edinburgh confers a distinct honor upon State college and adds to the ranks of the Society a humane scholar of acknowledged reputation.

His friends in Kurope and America view the selection will) appreciation. Dr. Thompson has dis tinguished himself by outstanding scholastic achieve­ment ever since his undergraduate days at Hamilton More than one learned society conferred membership upon him. His researches in the field of eighteenth centurv Scottish literature have been marked by a deep and authentic stamp of real value to men o| letters. These same efforts have conferred upon liini the tit le of an authority in this field.

Many men who have math their mark-- in learned professions have been marked by a cold exterior toward those with whom they came in contact. Dr. Thompson has radiated a human warmth that has gained for him the lies! wishes of Ins colleagues of the faculty and the queerest admiration and respect from those Undent-, who have been fortunate enough lo ha\ e had a course w ith him.

State college wants Dr. Thouip-nu to know that it is proud of him and of his at hiev cmciits. The NEWS speaks, not only for the iambs and undergrad­uates, but for all of die alumni, who ha\c known his friendly and discerning guidance and who have had enkindled within I hem hy his example the desire for worths scholastic achievement.

(All boobs reviewed for sale in Co-op.) An Introduction to Living Philosophy. By D, S. Robin­

son. Thomas Y. Crovvell Company. New York. 381 pages. $3.00. Dr. Robinson places before his readers an intelligent

survey of existing types of philosophy in this com­panion volume to his "Anthology of Recent Philosophy." This book aims chiefly at a presentation of types, methods, and problems of modern philosophic thought.

The newer students of philosophy will find themselves deftly orientated in the opening section of the volume which deals with such fundamental topics as why men philosophize, how to study philosophy, and types and problems of philosophy. Following this are the con­siderations of idealism, realism, and pragmatism with Ibc main points in the development of each. The relation­ship of each of these with knowledge and existence, truth and error, value and evil, and the body-mind prob­lem is taken up.

The concluding section deals with vitalism, phenom­enology, irrationalism, eclecticism, and the new scho­lasticism. The author maintains throughout the attempt to point out contrasting and conflicting schools which are under debate today. He abandons the traditional theories. His tables and diagrams of branches of phil­osophy, classification of realistic theories, and classifi­cation of British and American philosophers are very helpful in differentiating the various fields of thought together with the contributions of each. The individual works of James, Koyce, Santayana, Dewey, and Bergson are emphasized. Every student of philosophy, as well as every cultured college student, needs a hook like this on his shelf.

Tom I'ainc-Ubcrly Hell By George Creel. Sears Pub­lishing Company. New York City. 173 pages. $2.0(1. Tom Paine, the greatest pamphleteer of the American

and French Revolutions, is the subject of this study by Mr. Creel. In it is set forth the great debt of both France and America to a man whose clear intellect and prolific pen dealt tremendous strokes at the tyranny of the eighteenth century. His writings were reckoned almost as weighty as the sword of Washington in the cause of liberty, and many a time that leader called upon Paine to produce the courageous and inspiring papers which renewed the flagging hopes and sinking courage of the patriotic armies.

But Panic's invaluable services, during which he do­nated all proceeds from the sale of hundreds of thou­sands of pamphlets, did not save him from becoming a martyr on the pike of public opinion. He was burned in effigy in England and for mouths lay in a prison in France, due to the wiles of the treacherous (iouvernctir Morris. It is a slory packed with drama and high ad­venture in the highest cause to which a man can devote bis talents and his life. Every student of American history wil l add to his knowledge of the Revolution by reading it.

COLLEGE DEGREE'S ECONOMIC VALUE

FACES^DECREASE New York, N. V . — ( N S F A ) — The

economic importance of a college education is going to decrease in the future, for the number of col­lege graduates is increasing faster than the demand for them, Dr. Harvey N. Davis, president of Stevens Institute of Technology, declared here at the eighth animal luncheon of science teachers and research investigators of the metro­politan district.

" I t wil l no longer be worth $3,-1(10 a year to a man to have had a

dlege education," Dr. Davis as­serted. "Hut this wi l l not mean il wi l l no longer pay lo go to college, because more and more young peo­ple will do so merely for Ibc in­creased enjoyment they wil l get mil of life afterward."

Dr. Davis held that "the in idem educationalist underestimates the importance of developing skilled technique before encouraging self expression," while the inculcation of knowledge i , over-emphasized, since more than one ball' of the graduates go into business. The de­velopment of the abil i ty to think and appreciate, he -aid, i tin primary purpose ol higher educa l i o n " i l i

When the Shelton opened (7 years ago) we began ca­tering to college men and women. Gradually t h e i r patronage has increased; we feel safe in assert ing that more students make the Shelton their New York home than at any club or other hotel.
