WOMEN'S RESPONSIBILITIES
A reference made in this column to
an editorial appearing in the last is-
sue of the Gargoyle, has been, we are
afraid, misunderstood. According to
the professed reason or the Gargoyle
editor, the leader, "Michigan's Wom-
en", was written to make women think.
If that was its object it has succeeded.
But we are inclined to believe that
women need to act more than they do
to think.
That they can think has already
been demonstrated, especially in the
class room. They have learned to
act as women of the university, but
not as members of Michigan's student
body. Their pageants, circuses, plays,
athletics, and general activities show
that they take a healthy interest in
undergraduate life, very much the
same as men. But they have yet to
show a generally active interest in
general campus affairs.
Michigan is co-educational, and be-
ing such, her actions and ideals should
be controlled by this conception. The
two agencies which go farthest to-
ward guiding these actions and mould-
ing these ideals are the student pub-'
lications and the student council. The
view-point of these mediums is now
limited because it is purely mascu-
line. Deprived of the woman's view-
point they are one-sided and not truly
representative. They will only par-
tially fulfill their functions as long
as this stare of affairs exists. If there
had been women representatives on
The Daily and the council, how much
easier it would have neen to put the
new dance regulations, for which the
Judiciary Council has petitioned, into
effect.
We do not insist that women are in-
capable or that they have no place on
the campus, but rather that to secure
their place they must undertake these
responsibilities.

WHO CAN SPELL?
(New York Sun)
There are two English languages,
one spoken ~ and the other written.
Oral and graphic English, the vulgar
and the literary forms, are about as
much alike as cart horse, and race
horse. Linguistic history explains the
difficulty that any normal American
has in mastering the mysteries of
English orthography, but the logic of
etymological development is veiled to
th'e folks, reserved to the scholar.
For the multitude who wish to
write intelligibly, whether or not in-
telligently, the only way is the direct
and unstrategic way of the spelling
book. Spelling "reform" is as futile
as it is bewildering; and it is as hate-
ful as any other iconoclasm. Spelling
is natural to the abnormal; they need
no instruction. Those who do need
it can get it only by working step, by
painful step through the old fashioned
speller. Progress and attainment are
to be measured best in the old fash-
ioned spelling bee.
In Oakland, Cal., 12,985 children in
40 schools have been examined in
spelling. More than one-fifth of the
children spelled correctly all the
words. About one child in each ten
misspelled more than half the words.
The. girls spell better than the boys,
and the disparity between the sexes
increases as the pupils grow older.
Itnr is not surprising to learn that
children of professional men spell bet-
ter than those of laborers and that
children from homes where a foreign
language is spoken spell English
words even more miserably than those
who. come from English speaking
homes, even though we might expect
the aliens to take more pains and
achieve better results.
These are but the commonplaces of
spelling examinations. The important
thing is the light thrown upon char-
acter and vocational fitness. Boys
who expect to become farmers or
baseball players are poorer spellers
than those who anticipate entrance
into the professions. The examiners
recognize the fact that inability to
put the alphabet through its drill
may not be organically associated with
that element in the boy's composition
which determines his inclination to a
job on the diamond; but there is the
incontrovertible fact that all the boys
with major league aspirations were
"notoriously poor spellers." Yet it is
also notorious that where the colle-
giate outfielder screams "I got it,"
the professional coolly warns his
team mate away with an unimpeach-
ably grammatical "I have it."
From Oakland, through the Educa-
tional Review, we learn that the auto-
mobile repairers, aviators and hair-
dressers of the future spell better
than do the wireless operators, mail
clerks and merchants of the rising
generation; an exhibition of perver-
sity in the mundane constitution.

ne res; Fraucais lecture
A severe attack of grippe has made
it necessary for Mr. Christie ot the
French -department to postpone the
lecture which he was to give this aft-
ernoon before the members of the Cer-
en one wee' from today at 5:00 o'clock
in, the :,cture room in Tappan hall:..
Mr. Christie has also decided to
cha ge the title of his address from
tha of "Les Iles Philippines" to "Quel-
ues Types Philippins."
Those who spell least spell best. The
ancient wisdom is confirmed: if your
boy is a good speller, make a black-
smith of him; if he cannot build a
word on paper, encourage him toward
a learned profession.
