Perhaps, the above title will bring forth a volley of protest from the opposite sex, nevertheless, they must admit that courtesy, at present, hardly consists of more than tipping the hat. However, it is only fair to say that this condition has come about only since the World War, which caused women to play such an important part in the industrial world. Although, immediately following the Industrial Revolution, the sight of women working in factories and mines was not uncommon—yet it did not seriously affect society because the women were from one class. The War did a great thing for women, in that it brought out the iniativc and ability that was dammed up in them, but which had never had an outlet. The cream of the country had been taken away, and the problem of
organizing industry was largely left to the women. The result was that woman was put on the same level with man. Consequently, man felt that woman no longer needed his protection. U the new woman was not one who easily fainted and cried, but one who could pass a crisis. Not only did the War produce this type but it caused the appearance of the flapper. Woman, having found herself free, in many cases went to extremes. These were the flappers who encouraged such unbecoming acts as smoking and drinking. One can readily see why man lost both respect and courtesy for woman, yet he cannot l>e excused, for the higher and better traits of his character did not influence him for the good. Until man realizes that beneath the forward appearance of the modern woman lie sincerity and truth, he is committing an irreparable sin. Rosalie Weiss.

The other day, in a certain class in this college, a professor, not finding chalk, wrote on tin- board with an eraser. It served his purpose well. So far as we know, tins is the first time an eraser of this school lias been put to a really profitable use. Personally, we always felt a delicacy in laying ungentle hand ti> the object on which the hoarj dual of ages had so trustfully collected. Tin's same delicacy does nol guide others, it would seem, judging from the clouds' condition of many boards. Why not speak to the maids gently and have them take the erasers outside once a month for an airing. If not that, (luii we'll have t<> degenerate to the sponge- used with the "used to be" slate.
Elections What we are about to lay has been said many times in many ways. But never, do we think, has it been more timely or necessary. Almost before WC realized that spring vacation was over, spring elections arrived. In the aftermath of so much joy. it is hard to think seriously, we know, but it has to IK done. In the past, it has been the custom for interest to lag after the first election of the year. Why this should be we cannot say unless it is that the Succeeding three elections deal with more Specialized phases of school activity. white.is interest in Student Government is universal. Or it may be that the student body simply becomes bond with the series. Neither should be the ease, Each of us is n fleeted in each office-holder. If we do not have pride enough in our own college to vote for the girl we conscientiously believe to be the one best fitted to uphold her traditions, then—well, better not to say what then. Another thing. Besides voting, vote conscientiously. "She speaks to me, I'll vote for her." Absurd, isn't it? And yet that, or something equally as important ha- influenced mote people than would care to admit it, perhaps. Remember, as you vote this year, so will your college be run next year. Do you want to be one of those who say. "Farmville isn't what it use.I lo be?" It all depends on how you vote—NOW. VIRGINIAN ADVERTISERS The following advertise in the "Virginian."

Some of the features ahroad the coming summer will he tin British Empire Exposition, London; the Olympic Games, Paris; the Ancient railteann Games, to he revived in Dublin; and many lesser events throughout Great Britain and the continent. Mr. Adams says that the exclusive third cabin will answer the increased demand for an economical and comfortable mode of transportation to Europe. On this excursion non-studentand immigrants will positively be excluded from the third claSS, thereby eliminating what baa been the economical traveler's only objection to the modern third class. The chairman promises "Good wholesome British food four times a day." Students are invited to take their musical instruments along, so that impromptu parties, "song feats" and musical evenings may be the rule. The Cunard Line will arrange to store the instrument.-- until the ship returns in September. I he "Saxonia" has just been completely renovated and reconditioned. She has always been famous for her steadiness.

Since you have made the school seem so much nearer to me I have often had a lou^ine; to do something which might make you feel that I wasn't very far away and that in me you could always
find an eager subscriber and reader. The satisfaction in both cases would he entirely mine. My year in the tropics has proved nioie than worth while. To those of you who dream of doing "something dill, lent" let me suggest a war in Porto Rico. If yOU think you could get a thrill out of palm bordered beaches and tropical moonlight) just try tin \V. si Indies. You'll have some perfectly killing experiences trying to order meals in a small hotel or buying a -pool of thread in a small town store where the proprietor doa not understand a word of English. We've learned a little Spanish first hand hut Dot a <la\ i;n.'s by that we don't get some surprise as a result of our attempts in Spanish with our native servant. There are three of us keeping an apartment in the upstairs of a Is and new American style home. VVe have .i servant t.> do the laundry, marketing and cleaning for which services we paj the large sum of six dollars a month, with hoard and lodging, We do our own cooking, preferring it to

cases and easy to discipline. It's quite an experience teaching our language to a Spanish speaking people, and still more of an inspiration trying to instill' a little of good old-fashioned American
the wonderful spirit which has been manifested throughout this rather trying year. Even down here in Porto Rico I have been impressed with it. Most sincerely yours,

Tin- year has been full of interesting tits. We spent our Christmas holidays in Caracas Venezuela, where we saw a real South American hull fight, visited an ostrich farm, attended "cock mass" on Christmas Eve, went through th. historic home of Rolivar, and had a real English Christmas dinner in a Spanish home with a Dutch host and an English hostess each of whom spoke fluently six and live languages. I could write more, hut to rpiote the youthful Contributors to the Christian Observer, "I'm hoping tin's won't find it- way to the wa-te hasket," SO I guess I'd better not try your patience too far. To Dr. Jarman I want to state that it i- not my intention to lure his dear girls from their native state—at least not "for keeps." In a way I'd like to think of them all as prospective teacher- down here for one year—for Porto Rico's sake and their own "experience," hut I can assure him that in spite of all the pleasures in store for them they'll appreciate all the more the "old Dominion" and end by deciding that after all there's "no place like home." May I close with a word of congratulation to the Rotunda staff for the successful enlargement of the school paper and to the school as a whole for
Mildred Dickinson.
