FBOH PANDORA'S BOX
You havo heard about germs? (About
tho "Simmons germ"? But If by
some chance you are especially new
to the ways cf tho Simmons world
and .your education along this last
line has thus far been neglected wo
Would only refer you to almost any
of Proxy's favorito (?) students or
any member of the "corridor-course"
class for explanation of the lattor
term. We aro sure thtit you will then
concede that germs are generally clan
gerous things.
But we havo discovered a deadly
one which 13 so little spokon of that
We deem it wise to give a 'special
warning. Wo do not know 'that U
came from Pandora's box but we do
know that It has found its way fntq
the college world. This little germ
which works subtloly boars tho
deadly poison of ''good enough" and Is
sometimes called the "get-by" germ.
When you havo read only one para-
graph of your lesson and the profes-
sor happens to call on you for that
one: or when you have "turned tho
tide' by a skillful question to chan
nels other than the .lesson and-rV'ou
.-come away f rpm class with tho elated
feeling of onatwluThds "put one over;"
Instead of having a shamed resolve
jou may look-out-rthe symptoms aP
there and the. ."good enough" poison
is working . '
When thisllttlO gprm takes hold of
you it 'eats Into your gopd. resolutions
and you find yourself aiming only to
"get by." It is deadly to tho real-
ization of a higher ambition and Us
deepest poison lj.es In tho fact that it
temporarily stimulates you to a feel-
ing that you are accomplishing some
thing. The worst effects of tnte
rfgerra aro seen in. after life when the
stimulation of "putting one over" has
worn off and you face tho cold
fact that in tho mad scramble of
"getting by" you failed. to grasp firm-
ly p. matprial. something to carry with
you.
Also It is contagious so lot the
slogan be ;'get that germ."
