7 impossible for this nation or anyI
The Michigan Daily:-
Lswer to the communication of
s issue, I wish first to compli-
r. Thiel on his power of inter-
n. Our judiciary will be
improved when such as he en-
According to his version, I would
have every "knight of the road" go
into the hold-up business and our for-
eign trade nursed at the cannon's
mouth.
The idea I really intended to convey,
and the one I believe most laymen
acquired from my communication, was
that in any trade the exhibit of power
on either side is a moral inducement to
respect. This is such a common in-
cident of every day life that I do not
believe further detail of it is necessary.
I have had enough experience in
foreign ports to know that it is abso-
other nation to develop a substantia
foreign trade, without the moral per
suasion of a recognizable navy. Ther
are, of course, trivial exceptions to thi
statement. It would . be an irregular
ity, for instance, if we didn't trad
with Canada. As it is, however, ou
trade with Canada is extremely ligl
compared with what it ought to be
Right here I want to say that within 40
miles of Ann Arbor, there is a bound
ary-line fort between ourselves an
Canada. With Fort Mackinac, i
makes two fortified border-line fort
in Michigan. There are also som
federal armed boats patrolling the
great lakes. Mr. Theil must know that
in and outside of our so called civ-
ilized races of people, there are races
and groups of humans whose test o
a trade missionary is his ability to
handle and protect himself, whether
such protection be by bluff or actual
power. In the wide world today a man
is expected to suspect his fellow man
until necessity for such suspicion is
proved unwarranted. Such at least is
the case in the world of trade. Ex-

perience of the ages has shown that
the successful trade nation is the one '
of power. That is why militarists are
calling for a greater navy and reserve ,
power at home. They believe it is a"
moral obligation of a nation to develop
its trade to the utmost, and that for
those reasons their prayers will event-
ually be granted.A

- Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
In reply to the eloquent letter of
t protest by the worthy "Soph," in this
s morning's Daily, I would like to make
e a few remarks.
e In the first place, one would almost
t think from the arguments put forth,
- that he knew more about this problem
of preparation than the faculty.
f It is about time that some action
was taken by universities and colleges
r in raising the requirements for pro-
L fessional courses. The public has suf-
fered long enough from the ignorance
of professional men, physicians, law-
yers and engineers. Every college
man knows how little he gets from his
high school course, so are we going
to let high school graduates take a
couple of years in a professional
course and then go out and practice?
You can't mature a high school boy in
less than four years, yes, in les than
eight years. Does the University of
Michigan want to send boys out into
the professional world?
What our friend "Soph" wants is an
"I. C. S." course, and then he won't
have to wait so long for his degree.
As for remaining in the professional
department until you finally learn:
What a foolish argument! Why not
take a "prep" course and mature your-
self before you enter, thus saving oth-
ers lots of trouble?
Without any exaggeration, I can
safely state that only one out of every
100 men is a genius, and will you let
the other 99 enter the professional
world without ample preparation?
If Mr. Sophomore is the one out of
a 100, then he need have no worries of
being kept back in his literary work,
as he can easily carry double the
required hours, and be ready for his
profession in half the usual time. In-
cidentally, he will be surprised to find
how much there is for him to learn.
A FRESHMAN.
Editor, The Michigan Daily:-- r
Mr. Wenley states (letter of Mar. 9),
that his grades, "E, D and C are quan-
titative grades for the very good rea-
son that they portend absence of qual-
ity." Now, is it not a fact that a given
paper being graded, or a term's work
for that matter, be it ever so poor, still
has quality though to an insufficient
degree? In short, you cannot escape
the dilemma of a quality-quantity
synthesis by looking upon A and B as
qualitative grades and C, D and E as
quaititative-- i. e. by placing the quan-
titative series below the qualitative
series. Both elements are necessarily
always present and forcing themselves
into consideration. It is stated, that,
"With A, the presence of quality be-
comes important and this increases as
the plus sign is neared." If that de-
gree of quality were present,, would
not the student possessing it along
with a grade of, let is say, D in quan-
tity, receive a mark of about C as a
result of this compromise?
These facts, however,shave already
been admitted, for in Mr. Wenley's let-
ter of Mar. 2, he said: "Some day, 'per-
haps, we may find it wise to separate
"pass" and "class" among undergrad-
uates. Till then the difficulties trace-
able to the double situation must be
endured."
Thus, though Mr. Wenley admits the
main contention of my letter of ,Feb.
28, still he has as yet refrained from
going on record either for or against
the dual system of grading.- Nor has
a single argument been advanced to
show why it should not be adopted in
preference to the present system of
grading.
C. J. BOLLINGER, '15.
There will be an entire new bill of
vaudeville that will open at the Majes-
tic Monday matinee, and the manage-
ment will offer something new in the
way of a vaudeville number and that
will be a musical act of the higher
class and one that is sure to please all
lovers of music, both classical and
popular. The "Three Steindel Bros."
are without doubt three of the world's
master musicians playing the 'cello-
violin and piano, and it is safe to say
that there has never been at the
Majestic a musical act of this class.
Mr. Bruno Steindel has been leader of
some of the most notable symphony
orchestras in the country, and all three
of the brothers are artists and they
will offer a 20 minute recital of the
best of classical, operatic end popular
music. The bill will be opened by the
"Three Falcons," in a comedy aerial
ring act; these boys do a routine of
good fast work on the Roman Rings
E Samuel P. Lockwood, violinist, and
Harrison Albert Stevens, pianist, will
give an interesting program at the
next complimentary concert by mem-
bers of the school of music faculty, at
4:15 o'clock Thursday afternoon, in
.Hill auditorium.
Mr. Lockwood will contribute a
group of interesting numbers and the
music loving public. will be interested
in hearing such an offering from so
well-known an artist,
Mr. Stevens is a talented pianist, a
graduate of the university and the
school of music, who has spent several
years in Europe under distinguished
teachers including the master Lhev-
inne. On his previous Ann Arbor ap-
pearances he has won the admiration
of all, and at this time when he will
contribute a large portion of the pro-
gram, an opportunity will be had of
hearing him at his best.
The program to be offered is as fol-
lows :
Etudes symphoniques, Op. 13......

(Theme: XII Etudes.)
