PROVINCIALIZED EDUCATION
"A man who has not at least a
reading knowledge of some language
other than his native tongue is pro-
vincial, no matter how many degrees
he may have." Such is the contention
of Professor Reeves. On first thought
it seems almost startling. It is not
the old argument for a broader edu-
cation that Professor Reeves is ad-
vancing, but rather a plea for the
languages themselves and all that a
knowledge of them makes possible.
Yet even on this narrower ground it
seems as though his assertion is
maintainable.
Americans are too prone to live
within their own boundaries. There
is no middle class between the let-the-
eagle-scream type and the superficial
Americans who affect European cus
toms and look down upon American
ideas as vulgar crudities. The hor-
rible blunders of American diplomacy
may be attributed in part to too large
a dependence upon the good faith of
interpreters. The secret of German
commercial successes in South Amer-
ica is found in the painstaking mastery
of the language of the country whose
trade they are endeavoring to capture.
The world is becoming too interna-
tionalized to permit of a successful
disregard of matters of this sort.
Especially will this be true in the
immediately ensuing years, when
America will assume a larger place in
diplomatic affairs and when our for-
eign commerce will compete with that
of England and Germany.
These are the circumstances that
graduates will have to face and, ev-
erything else being equal, the man
who is prepared will be the man to
step into the big job.

CAMPUS INFAOR OF DAILY
DARNALL AFFIRMS THAT GREAT
IAJORITY OF STUDENT BODY
=EACt S CI I'TICISi'V,
Editor Michigan Daily:-
Suppose' an honest peace-loving
man lived in a house in a rather un-
certain community among neighbors
who had acquired rather unscrupu-
lous reputations. If a stranger should
come into his house even as a guest,
partake of his hospitality and then
before leaving try to persuade him
that the little fox terrier watch dog
was a menace rather than a protec-
tion and that he should not have
bolts on his doors or locks on his
windows, would the honest man fol-
low the dictates of the stranger
without a question, without a criti-
.ism? Would he leave his wife, chil-
dren and property unprotected? Most
certainly not! And yet when this
same condition occurs on a larger
scale-when a nation is involved in-
stead of an individual, so many peo-
ple fail to recognize the analogue.
Although several communications
have condemned The Daily for its
criticism of Norman Angell's lecture,
I feel sure that such a spirit is limy
ited to but a few and that the general
sentiment of the student body is
strongly in favor of The Daily's criti-
cism and the argument as taken up
oy Professor Van Tyne.
It is certainly very narrow for one
to look upon such an affair as a
breach of hospitality. Mr. Angell,
throughout his lecture deplored ex-
isting conditions, yet he did not at-
tempt- to offer any practicable remedy
for such conditions. His lecture was
certainly a splendid piece of oratory
and we have no fault to find with his
command of the English' language,
except insofar as it empowered him
o carry away into the realm of the
fanciful, the unreal, and the impos-
sible, a part of his audience.
I dare say that not only the ma-
jority of the student body, but also
the majority of those attending the
lecture, were very pleased to hear
Professor Van Tyne and Professor
Hobbs take issue with Mr. Angell as
they did and especially so since an
argument on the subject was solicited
by Mr. Angell at the close of his lec-
ture.

Paris, Dec. 8.-Albert Thomas, un-
der-secretary of war, issued a declar-
:tionrlast night which is attracting
widespread attention as the first
statement from a responsible cabinet
officer regarding his government's at-
titude toward peace. Thomas is ont
of the leading Socialists in France
.nd his statements carry great
weight. He stated that Belgium and
Serbia must be restored and German
imperialism and Prussian militarism
must be destroyed before France
would consent to talk peace.
