They are part of an experiment to acquaint the future citizens with a Home
Reconstruction Loan Plan. By this plan,
the Federal Housing" Administration hopes
to solve the problem of unemployment and
to improve the living conditions of the
American people. This project should not
be confused with the Home Owners Loan
Association in that the loans are not of
goverimient funds but merely
private
loans backed by government guarantee.
Y/e think that this method of givingprivate citizens an idea of what is going on in the national government is a
good one which may become successful if
it is carried out further.

WHICH TYPE aRE YOU?
As the year is almost over, it behooves us to give a few gentle words of
advice to erring students. It devolves
upon us to tell you about some prizes
and scholarships v;hich can be earned by
many.
You all probably know that there
are many types of students who wr.nt scho
lastic rewards,
Some of these rewards
are scholarships to vurious colleges,
cash prizes for essi^ys or general excellence, valedictorian, and salutatorian. Type A student pays no attention
in class, goes to all the movies whenever he pleases, and hardly ever does
homework.
When he does, it is at the
last moment, with one oar cocked for the
doorbell and telephone, listening' to "che
radio, and taking- much time to visit
with friends who stop in.
Type B pays
attention, does his homework conscientiously and carefully.
Ho never wastes
any time. V^hich type do you think will
win out? Type B, of course. Now, we're
not saying that any of you are of thra
Type A class, but we want to impress upon you the necessity to be more studious.
Be m.ore careful in your work, pay more
attention, dcn't skip homework or put it
off. Then see how much bettor you are at
the end of the week. Much better, we'll
wager.
