TIPS GIVEN ON BABY CULTURE
Well Known Woman Psychologist Tags Every Student a “Prospective Mother or Daddy”—Child Pacifiers Are Suggested.
In thc university chapel yesterday morning Mrs. Winifred Sackville Stoner, a well known psychologist, cheerfully tagged every student a “prospective mother or daddy.” On that supposition she proceeded to give hints on baby pacifiers and other accessories of the nursery.
No doubt those tips will have their day, but more closely touching “present day conditions.” Mrs. Stoner tabooed examinations. Examinations, she said, are not a test of how much a student knows, but of how poor a teacher the professor has been.
Three-tenths of the students in a university go through the grind with a mental picture of a sheep-skin as their only ideal. A person never gets through being educated, said Mrs. Stoner. What a college education j should teach is self-control and joy of service.

Hughes, manager of El Rodeo '17. This arrangement will make it a “Greater University Book” in reality.
The book this year is not likely to be much larger than it was last year, but an attempt will be made to improve the quality. Howard Henshey manages the law portion of the book.
The photographs this year will be made by the best commercial artist in the city. Despite the increased price of chemicals, the pictures this year will cost the students less than ever before. The price of the prints to the students has been cut to a flat rate of fifty cents each. When the student goes to the studio for his sitting. a deposit of fifty cents must be made and a statement of the number of times that particular picture is to appear in the book should be placed on the student’s receipt. Following these directions will save time and money for the student. Sittings should be aranged for as soon as possible.
