State St. A>GOOD STRONG BANK WITH EVERY BANKING NEED Selected Editorial TEACHER OR SCHOLAR? (Chicago Tribune) In spite of the constant criticism of higher education one of the most obvious and fundamental departments of the educational system has almost wholly escaped notice. The regulation of policy by trustees who are invari- ably business men, the metamorpho- sis of the president from the scholar to the financial agent, the congenital frivolity of the modern youth w hoj prefers dancing and athletics to study, all these things are blamed for the 'admitted fact that only about 10 per cent of students learn anything commensurate to the money spent on the process. The social value of a college education is undeniable, but the educational value is problem- atical. It is the teacher who has escaped notice. Americans have been curi- ously content to trust education to scholars. As a novelist recently wrote, instructors are chosen from those who know how to learn instead ot those who know how to teach. The degree of doctor of philosophy, of master of arts, of bachelor of laws or of literature, especially when suf- fixed by some such impressive Latin abbreviation as Oxon, is considered proof positive that its possessor is an admirable teacher. To have dis- covered some new gas or to have written some erudite book is often sufficient to obtain an impressive fac- ulty appointment. Conversation with these erudite and valuable gentlemen will convince any one that their interest is not .in teaching. They are still interested in gaining the approval of other erudite professors, but they are rarely- in- terested in gaining the approval of the students. They are, most of them franky bored with students. And the students are, quite as frankly, bored with them. The student rarely finds more than one or two men in his four years who make him feel that using the mind is a pleasant occupation. And if he is acute, he will perceive that faculty members who do love to teach suffer from the disapprobation of their fellow professors. It does not do for a professor to become too popular with the students. He is im- mediately suspected of some sort of quackery. His attempts to understand the students are interpreted as syco- phancy. He should be interested in research and scholarly attainment. So preoccupied are many o our higher educationalis ts kith this sort of thing that they deliver their lec- tures, often the same ones year after year, reluctantly stealing a few hours a week from their more important work of learning. Somehow we suspect that if facul- ties were to examine themselves they would find a splendid aggregation of scholars, but of teachers scarcely one. Perhaps this is one reason why the modern college youth is inter- ested in frivolous affairs. ow HEAR ALL THE Latest New York Operatic and Popular HITS__ _ Office Supplies in general.

It springs from a false concep- tion of democracy, and is common in practically every university, college and school. In Michigan it can be seen when several back-row stud- ents in a class grin at each other or laugh at the expression of some or- iginal idea; when necks are craned at the quizmaster's book when he is recording the recitation just com- pleted; when students make it hard- er for lecturers by impolitely pulling out watches, yawning unrestrainedly or talking sotto voce; when sections of the class are gazing seriously through the windows or at the ceil- ing and when the professor's retreat at the close of the hour is choked by superfluous and affected questioning. Too many of the keen minded stud- ents at Michigan are out after cam- pus popularity, and for that reason feel that they have to recite modestly and conservatively. The exchange of critical looks amonghthe rest of the class is so overwhelming that few dare or care to resist its strength. Freshman classes form the neces- sary transition between prep school and college ideals, but after the first year there is an opportunity for any one to add something vital to the dis- cussion by talking more frequently -that is providing they are terse and to the point. Of course those who "throw the bull" are never welcome, but a whirr of clearly stated and or- iginal ideas are what are wanted and needed. Certain seniors, who have grasped campus honorary titles and discovered the futility of these as an end, occasionally bring into the sun- light, originality which has been bur- ied for three years. Men like these are becoming the life of many discussion periods. Our much heralded democracy is often acting as a mire rather than the firm ground necessary for a good start. In the light of this criticism it is interesting to think what would happen if a genius, should come to Michigan.

Cross' book on the "History of England and Greater Britain" receives a very favorable review in the issue of January 6 of the "Dial." The reviewer calls attention to the fact that the book is designed for the use of advanced- classes in colleges and universities, and also to the re- cent date (Feb., 1914,) to which the history is carried. The conclusion of the review is as follows: "The book aims at the presenta- tion of facts in the light of their sig- nificance and historical succession, land makes slight attempt to ap- praise events or interpret the spir- it and character of the English people.+ It is probably .the most satisfactory text book in its field for college+ courses thus far written by an American scholar." ---- 1 Dance and Banquet Programs-At- tractive Ones, at The Ann Arbor Press. , PAPER AT SCIENTISTS' MEETING Prof. Jesse S.

Through a new system adopted by the "Y" employment bureau to find summer work for students, it is ex- pected that the number of positions filled for the coming vacation will completely surpass the record of past years. Applications for summer jobs are being filled almost daily and Secre- tary Philip C.' Lovejoy, '16, is anxious to have all students who want work sign up at once. Under the new plan, men will state the particular work desired, their ex- perience in this line, wages expected, and where they want to go. The bur- eau will then proceed to discover the specific jobs. Instead of the former haphazard en- deavors, firms will be approached who have work that is wanted. By this method, the "Y" will be able to place experienced men in the positions for which they are fitted. "'TENTION STrUDE S:" For quick MESSENGER CALL see last ad on BACK OF TELEPHONE DI- RECTORY.

The date has been set with the idea of making it convenient for the frat- ernity house parties, that will be held at the time, to, attend. Popular mat-. inee prices viV prevail, and in view of the fact that the performance of the play before the holidays proved to be the most successful of any .Comedy Club production for several. years,' those in charge are planning' for an- other big audience. At least two rehearsals a week will be held from now until the second performance is given in order to bring the cast to the greatest possible: per- fection. I
