Night Editor ...........Henley Hill Selected Editorial THE COLLEGE MAN AND THE NEWSPAPER FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS New and Second-hand (McGill Daily) No man can complete a college course without acquiring some ability to assimilate information from the printed page. This faculty he applies in his courses, but how often does he fail to use his developed talent beyond the pale of the curriculum. What a contrast there is in the aver- age college man's method of reading a newspaper to his method o[ attack- ing work required in a course. 'He usu- ally glances at the headlines on the first page and then, unless he belongs to that small minority who have no athletic interest, devours the main items on the sporting page; next he gl'ances over the headlines in the rest of the paper, reading in full any items of special interest to himself, regard- less of their real moment. What in- formation he does take in is not like- ly to be retained long, because of the usual absence of effort to remember definitely and to co-ordinate rationally what has been read. How many undergraduates are there who can trace clearly and concisely, even without going much into detail,} the main developments in the war? How many can talk intelligently on European relations during the war and produce any real facts to back up their statements? How many have at their tongues' end much other important and useful information? Familiarity with past events, prog- ress, and philosophy, can have little value for the man of today if his learn- ing is wholly divorced from present- day developments, if he does not use it as a background for his own knowl- edge, views and actions regarding modern problems. With the college man the remedy for his lack of per- spective is not more timp, spent with the newspaper, but the application to his newspaper reading of the same principles he applies to reading done in connection with a college course- memorizing important facts, and con- tinual co-ordination of events.

Thus it is with what ap- pears in the newspapers., with what is heard at the dinner table, and with what we read in the college text boo. One adjustment between this state- ment and the continuity of the human progress is to think that every sent- ence we say or write is forming the stones in a great bridge. This bridge is slowly, advancing over vast seas toward the hazy shores of the ideal land to which humanity may some- time come. Thus when a university lets escape into the world a corrupt lawyer, a careless engineer or specialist, or a journalist without ideals, the whole fiber of spans, arches, railings, and buttresses of the great bridge of humanity is imperiled by inferior ma- terial.

ADAMS HOUSE SECURES PRIZE Sophomore Class Awarded Loving Cup at Fanicy Dress Party A representation of a submarine followed by a flotilla of torpedoes bearing the legend "safety first," staged by the Adams house won first prize at the Fancy Dress Party held by the Women's league Saturday eve- ning in Barbour gymnasium. A clever vaudeville and calis- thenic .performance by the sophomore class secured the loving cup awarded in the class contests. Harriet Glass and Beulah Smith, as the Gold Dust Twins, were voted the prize for the cleverest costumes, while Emily Sar- geant and Joy Irwin, as Mr. and Mrs. Cook, were declared funniest. Helen B. Dow and Ruth MacLachlan were awarded the prize for the prettiest costumes.

The winner of this contest will represent the university at the state prohibition meet to be held at the State Normal College in Ypsilanti next month. The prohibition contests were re- vived only a few years ago after hav- ing been discontinued for some time. As a consequence they are only now regaining some measure of the former popularity which they had among stu- dents in the oratory department. This year, especially, there has been in- creased interest in the work, and it is thought that Michigan will make a much better showing than ever before. All contestants must have their ora- tions in the hands of the committee not later than Saturday, March 18.

OR1 I61.FROST.TELLS OF KENTUCKY MOUNTAINEERS soutlieriier Says Dwellers ill Region Are not "White Trash" But Iciturnlt of Pioneers "Our Contemporary Ancestors" was the subject of an address delivered in the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening by President William Goodell Frost of Berea College, Kentucky. The address dealt with the life, the hopes, the aspirations, and the trials and sorrows of the dwellers in the moun- tains of Kentucky. President Frost tried to show that these people were not the "poor white trash" of -the South who had -been im- poverished through loss of their slaves and plantiations, but that they were the lineal descendants of those pion- eers who formed the vanguard of our civilization. Westward they had turn- ed their course until, meeting the formidable barriers of the Appalachian chain, their progress was checked, and here they were forced to settle. He pointfd out that in the struggle to wrest a living from the barren and waste places these pioneers, original- ly well educated themselves, were un- able to devote the time to the educa- tion of their children, with the result that each succeeding generation be- came .Tore ignorant and lawless than the preceeding. "Neither the mountainous countries of Scotland nor Switzerland are as cut off from civilization as these regions of which I speak,'" said Presi- dent Frost. "They have their sys- tems of natural lakes and waterways by which transportation is effected, but here one may ride for miles through rugged and almost impene- trable land without seeing more than a rude cabin or a' badly .tilled corn- field on some precipitous slope." The speaker attested to the capacity of these men and women, and quoted Abraham Lincoln as an exanple. He stated that religion and education are eagerly welcomed by them, and out- lined at some length the work of Berea College along these lines. "Un- less eve grasp this opportunity at once," he asserted, "it will be too late. Population has increased. and the means of subsistence have not. Un- less their condition is attended to, it must steadily grow worse." Ruedaun Accepts Position in West R. H.
