Night Editor.............Earl Pardee 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. a Selected Editorial I 1 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. 1TA -...--, I MOO .m ' U MANY a moun t ain o' trouble turns c- ,e a mole b ill after .,sre viewed ca'mly th r' " e haze o pipe smoke j Have You Seen It?
