UNIVERSITY AVE Phone 115 Selected Editorial JUST A WHISTLE (Ohio State Lantern) "That man will succeed." said a pro- fessor of a passing student the other day, "because he has learned the value of whistling." And there he was, walking along with his lips puckered up, manufacturing the merriest tune. Every note submarined a fleet of gloomy thoughts, and happiness and optimism followed in his wake. That student was whistling his way through life, and it's far better than whining or bemoaning one's fate. One can't think of mean things and whistle. One can't be depressed, either, when whistling. Whistling is an anti- dote for mean thoughts and a tonic for depression. Learning the philoso- phy of whistling means initiation into the great army of optimists. Try the cure sometimes. It's a panacea for any mental trouble. A whistle in the classroom when everyone is out of sorts may be impractical from strict pedagogical standards, but there was a time when children weren't even al- lowed to stretch during school hours. Whistle when you receive your dean's report and you'll see the light of day. Whistle when anything else goes wrong and readjustment will knock on your door. Just whistle, that's all. STUDENTS NOT TO BLAME JUNIOR THINKS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 1lNORANCE OF EVENTS. Editor, The Michigan Daily An article recently appearing in The Nation has called forth a great fund of humor and sarcasm, from a num- ber of the University faculty, and, in fact, from the press of the whole coun- try, directed at the abysmal ignorance of the American student in regard to current affairs. The tendency at this University has been to place the entire blame upon the student for this con- dition. Derisive attention has been called to the character of the maga- zines some of us have been caught reading, and the conclusion is drawn that the entire student body is not serious minded enough to keep well informed on the important matters of the day. This criticism cannot apply to the majority of the students on this campus, as it would certainly go unquestioned that most students are here, at this University, for a serious purpose. But the writer believes further that the responsibility for our comparative ignorance of recent events can be placed squarely upon our exclusively conservative educa- tiona.l system. In practically none of the numerous courses offered upon, this campus is there any current reading assigned and used for quiz discussion, although a large number of these courses have it as their avowed purpose the fitting of students for the practical problems of citizenship. These courses derive their principles from the experience of the past, and pay very little serious attention to theaapplication or appli- cability of those principles, to the (Continued on Page Five) i Office Supplies in general.

State Northwestern, with a $3.00 year- book, has just subscribed for 2,300r copies. Chicago, under the same con- ditions, has subscribed for 1,800 cop- ies. Michigan, with a larger student body but without the subscription sys- tem, sold only 1,100 copies of the Michiganensian last year. To offset this inconsistency Glenn Coulter, the business manager, has put the Northwestern subscription system into effect. Already the sub- scription list is up to the 1,200 mark, and, according to a rough estimate,, only about three-fifths of the seniors have subscribed. Owne Fletcher Loses Life in Fall While hunting with his brothers in the Jedle Swamp, seven miles west of the city, Sunday afternoon, Owne Fletcher, of 828 Brown street, aged 27, lost his balance and fell from the' tree from which he was shooting, breaking his neck in the fall. Death'was instantaneous. Fletcher had been hunting with his two brothers, George and Roland, to-' gether with Robert Marsh, and had climbed up intoa large tree for shot. He had become numb with the! cold, and in an effort to change his po- sition he lost his foothold and fell tos the ground., Coroner S. W. Burch- field was immediately notified and I viewed the body. He is survived by his parents, Mr.e and Mrs. Owne Fletcher, four broth-t ers, Roland, George, Harold and Lee, and three sisters, Mrs. Michael Scha- ible of Detroit, Mrs. Victor Sorg and Miss Katherine Fletcher of this city.
