The scheme was originally proposed by two English women, who saw in this method a means of taking care of the many children in Fraice made or- phans by the war. Each fraternity now pays the sum, of 10 cents a day for the support of its protege during the war. This is sup- plemented by a contribution of equal amount from the French government. *Over half of the 150,000 orphans have already been taken care of in this manner.

NEW "'TREE THOUGHT" M~NE AT COLUMBiA "CHALLENGE" ORGANIZED TO STIMULATE FREE DISCUSSIONS A31ONG STUDENTS. "Challenge--a magazine organized to stimulate the free discussion of opinion among American students, to the end that each American college and university may become a con- scious, informed and intellectual dem- ocracy." To those who noted with interest and hailed with approval the estab- lishment of a magazine at Columbia for the free discussion of current prob- lems by students in American univer- sities, the first number of "Challenge" is something of an enigma. The edi- tors hppear to have made certain at the outset that all moorings with past and traditional lines of thought should be severed, but the parting is not ac- complished without a certain amount of violence. The reader, progressing from page to page, finds himself be- wildered by astonishing candor on subjects not often publicly reviewed. In attitude the new publication is decidedly rebellious, and herein lies at once its greatest strength and weak- ness. It were useless to expect poig- nant problems to be handled with gloved hands. Cautious generalizations in regar to vital topics are not to be tolerated by thinking men and women. "Challenge," therefore, faces the dil- emma which confronts, every "maga- zine of opinion"-the apparent neces- sity of choosing between super-radi- calism on the one hand, and an in- nocuous repetition of well-known plat- itudes on the other. Ability to steer an even course between the two is the mark of the truly great exponent of free thought. The first number of "Challenge" tends toward cynicism. One looks in vain for an expression of helpful, constructive optimism. But the colle- giate world will await the coming numbers with no less interest because the current edition appears to anathe- matize a trifle too promiscuously. If sweeping denunciations induce a live- ly discussion of live problems, its mis- sion will perhaps have been accom- plished. The articles in the March number are well written, and the general style most commendable. Art, poetry, dra- ma, politics, economics and feminism are among the topics treated, with special attention given to academic and social relations between faculty and students. The noise and commotion of this opening gun would indicate that the battle for free speech in the American university is on at last, that it is a real battle, and that no quarter may be looked for on either side. As the first to enter the field in support of his rights, "Challenge" deserves the support of every wide-awake, progres- sive collegian.
