advocates simultaneous training for several jobs

"Before forty, we may be exrejient students, j
'but almost never scholars; learned but not wise.
| broadly informed, but not -experienced." The
cimplexitv of the modern world is the basis of
j the neces it y of a>fe, wisdom, and experience in
under tanditu' life, according to Mr Pitkin.
Several (|Uotation from noted p:.ychologist*.
and biologist prove that there need not be any
mental or physical decline during middle life.
There are "thousands of men and women who in
i their fifties and ixt ies get much more out of life
, ithan when younger; and again tens of thousands I
| who find middle age nearly a exciting and rich as
youth." He concedes tile existence of human
wrecks, however, citing them a proof of how
poorly we have learned the art of living
Ver\ encouraging ate the discussions of people
who were nobodies before forty, "i ,Mie of the rich
i t rewards of life after forty," Mr I'itkm claims,
"is the infrequent) of fools," llenrick Ibsen.
Nicholas Murray Butler, Al Smith. Owen Ji Young
and others are given a- example - of men who ar
rived after forty Phillips Brooks was "younger"
after forty than before This example tends to
refute the widespread fallacy that life after forty
must be, like Hamlet's idea of existence in general,:
"stale, flat, and unprofitable."
Of unusual interest is the chapter on woman's!
life after forty "For the college woman, above
all. life begins at forty " The accomplishments
of Mrs. Janet l.ittle Story, Kmmcline Plunkett,
Mme Juliette Adam, and (iertrude Jekyll, writers,
and l)r Lillian Martin, psychologist, support the
author's assertion that "high achievements of
women past forty are today almost a common
place."
Leisure is given its share of discussion, with
the French pointed out as masters of the art of
living, because they do not confuse living with
making a living Travel, reading, and conversa-
tion are recommended as diversions for what Mr.
Pitkin calls "the intelligent forties "
For some, life begins earlier than forty, and
for others, life never bexins At forty most men
have not yet fully found themselves. Summing
briefly, life begins for each individual wheJi he
discovers the activity he is best adapted for, with
enough leisure thrown in so he can follow those'
desires which he has for years longed to satisfy J
"Emancipating yourself so that you are free to
master the art of livinx is largely the reward of
character It is a matter of self-insight, self
planning, and self-control,"
We earnestly urge students ami teachers to read
"Life Begins at Forty " Whether one agrees with
Mr. Pitkin or not, his fearless statements and oc -
casional self-contradictions should prove interest-

ant editor in 15*31-32, a member of

the "T" Club, secretary of the Talona,
was captain of the cross country team

ident, respectively, of the Senior Class.
Wiley is majoring in music; Riley is
majoring in biology and physical ed-
ucat ion.
SCHOOLBOYS FROM Historical Piece-
From time to time we arc reminded that lang-
uage is a medium of expression, ami that words
are vehicles by which ideas are conveyed. Then
again, it is said that words are pegs upon which
we hang thoughts. But. words are not altogether
dependable things, for quite likely the word will
hitch itself to the wrong post and an idea much
different to the one intended will he left.
The sad part of it is that parts of speech cannot
be depended upon to care for t hese little details.
Recently a teacher wrote the word "man" upon
the blackboard "Now. what part of speech is
that?" he asked Immediately there was a chorus
of "noun" filling the air. He turned again to the
blackboard. He wrote the sentence, "He ordered
that they man the ship." "Now, where is your
noun?" he asked the class.
Nor is the dictionary altogether a safe guide.
It was the gentleman from Japan, was it not, who
told us the story of the pride of the .Japanese in
their knowledge of English. This pride was
especially manifested in the sign-boards upon the
shop windows. For example, a barber shop car-
ried the legend, "All customers executed prompt-
ly."
To be of any use, language, then, must be a
habit. It must not only be a personal habit, but
a national habit. Mastery of language is accomp-
lished by the mastery of words Mastery is|
accomplished only through practice. Through
the practice of using words there comes a lang

McK enzie had 11 points for the San-

the two teams. The Fish looked ex

as often as they wished. The Inde-

shooting, and were lacking in team-
work. Sullivan and McKenzie were
the big twiys, sinking twenty pc'nts.

WAKE UP, SENIORS!
The time for dreaming is almost
over. With the coming shipment of
copy the 1934 Yucca will be entirely
in the hands of the printers.
On some twenty-odd pajres will
be found pictures of most of you,
with a few lines of print telling
what offices you have filled during
your sojourn on the campus, and of
what organizations you are, or have
been members.
We want all this information, and
we want it now. The Yucca Copy
Tube has not been, and never will
be, perfected, so if you want your
name printed in big red letters in
the 1934 year-book write your
name and the requested informa-
iI, L
tion on a slip of paper and rush it
to the Yucca Office or put it in the
Yucca box in the Faculty Exchange
by Wednesday. February 21.
The slips of paper which we will
receive will look, or at least such is
our hope, like this:
