- in those fields, because they are productive undertakings. There is need of catching the imagination of our people, to focus it in this great enterprise of nation building. We cannot for long be free unless we build a strong economic foundatfon for that freedom. Many will say, "We want to work but we can find no work." My answer is that there is work for everyone who wants to work. An enterprising man may even create work. Our natural resources are waiting for the application of human toil. We have vast unoccupied lands. Let us be pioneers. Let us have the courage, the earnestness, and the will to hew the forests and to carve a home and a farm in their midst. Today, to erect a nation and to maintain it, there is need of men of force and vision and character, and especially, lovers of work-men who are not afraid to toil hard and continuously.-Sec. Manuel Roxas, from a commencement address a·t Far Eastern University, March, 1939 cSure (j}ou 're tJfonesl, c!J3ul ~ CHEATING goes on in almost every college. Dr. Frank Winthrop Parr, professor of secondary education at Oregon State College, hit upon a 11cheme to test the extent of cheating. He held a ;vocabulary test and had the . answers secretly scored. Then he returned the papers and read off the correct meanings while the students computed their own scores. A comparison of the two scores showed that 42 per cent of the 409 students involved had cheated to raise their marks. He had the students fill out a questionnaire, got their intelligence quotients and general scholastic ratings from the college office and started some figuring. Here's what he found: Men cheat more than women. Dishonesty ratio increases with age. Sophomores are mor~ honest than freshmen. Country students cheat more than city students. Fraternity and sorority members cheat more than non-members. Students of poorer classes cheat twice as much as those of the professional class.-Your Life. 54 PANORAMA
