Education—Our Privilege And Responsibility It is appalling to realize that college girls have been weak-minded enough to allow the war to enter into their*minds, and t.i play havoc with all the convictions that nme lodged there, and with all the thoughts that grew and developed and became character. Today, just because our nation is at war, education has .suddenly become unimportant, a mere trifle. A war job that anyone with average brains and a high school diploma could hold, but that pours forth "big money', is preferred to an educational background that no war-returnee can steal, and that no post-war depression can under mine. Is this the opinion of smart young miss modern? How can she hope to understand her country's problems and to set' the vital core of peace and the way to reach it if her only thought now is earning more money'.' Money, she will find, will be a sad replacement for a cultivated brain that is used to coping with important matters
