" Worker, Issues Call for 75
Helpers
Volunteers are needed by the social
service department of the University
hospital. There are 75 workers in
this department at present, but as
many more are needed at once, ac-
cording to Miss Mary C. Meriwether,
social service director at the hospi-
tal.
The volunteers offer to work a
certain number of hours each week
and are given assignments for the
days and hours they choose. The work
consists of "furnishing the children
with -recreation and instruction, as
well as writing letters, distributing
boks, and oing shopping for adult pa-
books, and doing, shopping for adult
Children Must Be Taught
There are usually between 40 and
50 children at the hospital and all of
these who are able are given instruc-
tion in elementary subjects. This is
necessary as a few of them are at the
hospital for a year or even more and
unless taught primary subjects they
Gould lie so far behind in their class-
es as to be discouraged.
Many Needed for Work
The children must also be furnished
with amusements. These consist of
games, story-telling, and an occasion-
al trip to the movies. As each volun-
teer can devote only a few hours a
week to the work, a large number are
needed to supply all the children with
the necessary instruction and diver-
sion.
Help Adults Also
The work which must be done for
the adults is as varied as that for the
children. Many of the adult patients
are too ill to write or are foreigners
who do not know the English lan-

GLEE CLUB ASSURED BY
NUMEROUS NEW TRYOUTS
Michigan makes good again!
Doubt as to the possibility of a
Glee club this year was completely
routed when over 40 men turned out
for the tryouts held Thursday night
at Theodore Harrison's studio in the
University School of Music. Out of
this number there were a sufficient
number of the much needed first ten-
ors to assure the success of the club.
Names of the successful candidates
will be published in the Daily once
the eligibility committee has passed
on the men selected.
Mr. Harrison has chosen an unus-
ual repertoire, including plantation
melodies, rag numbers, and other se-
lections of merit. Of the 60 men who
will compose the club, 30 are old men
and numerous others were members
of the All-Fresh club.
Rehearsals will start early next
week. First tenors who have not
tried out may secure a hearing either
by calling Mr. Harrison at the School
of Music or at 1889.
RED CROSS WILL
WRITE REQUESTS
Discharged soldiers, sailors, Ma-
rines, S. A. T. C., and Naval unit men
who have not yet applied for their
$60 gratuity may call at the Red
Cross Home Service, 7 Nickels Ar-
cade, where application blanks and
assistance in filling them out may be
had free of charge.
The local office has also engaged a
notary public who can make out a
duplicate of the discharge papers to
be kept by the individual as a safety
measure should, the original be lost in
the mail.
It is recommended by the govern-
ment to make out the duplicates, for
should the original be lost, it would
require much time and trouble to get
another without the duplicate.

meeting of the Board of Regents Wed-
nesday, was born at Tyrone, Living-
stone county, Michigan, June 15, 1853.
He is the son of Harvey Root and Ann

He reeived his preparatory educa-

prescription pharmacist. From 1879
to 1882 he taught pharmacy in the De-
troit college of medicine. In 1886 he
was called to the University as in-

RENCHCHTEAUX IINE
ARCHITECTURAL MODES
Bil. KAHN IN LECTURE TELLS
FEATURES OF FRENCH
STRUCTURES
"Among the most beautiful examples
of the change from the Gothic to Re-
naissance periods of architecture, are
the chateaux and cathedrals of central
France," stated Mr. Albert Kahn,
prominent architect of Detroit, in a
lecture on the "Chateaux ofTourain,"
Thursday afternon in the Natural
Science lecture room.
Visits Historic Chateaux
Mr. Kahn visited many edifices in
his tour that are famous in French
history. Among the finest chateaux
was the one at Blois which has the
distinction of being owned by Louis
XVI and Queen Ann of Brittany. It
is almost pure Renaissance in design,
and is a very fine example of the
architecture of that period.
Inferior in design to Blois, and yet
having once had the proud title of be-
ing "the fairest in the land," is the
beautiful chateau of Chambard. One
of its most distinctive and pictures-
que features is a wonderful open
double staircase, so constructed that
two persons, one descending, the oth-
er ascending, would never meet.
Sees Restoration in Progress
The chateau that he desired most to
visit and inspect was Josselin, in Brit-
tany. Because of its being in a state
of restoration, no traveler had been
allowed to enter its doors for many
years. Mr. Kahn, however, was very
fortunate and succeeded in seeing and
sketching the entire interior.
Slides illustrating profusely the
chateau, were shown and portrayed
many intricate features of the designs
of exceptional gateways, balconies,
and cornices.
hun Advance Stopped in Time
"Let us be thankful," said Mr. Kahn,
"that the tide of the Hun advance was
stemmed before it could penetrate to
northern France, for much that is
fine in French architecture lies in
this part of the country. Now that the
war is over, let us hope that the French
people may be left to enjoy peace
and the beauty of their wondrous
land."
H:AS DONE PREEMINENT WORK
IN FIELD OF ECONOMICS
After an absence of three years,
Prof David Fridaywill return to the
University next fall to take charge
of the courses in money and banking
the economics department.
In the three years that Professor
Friday has been absent from the Un-
iversity, he has been in the limelight
because of his ability in economic
theory and accounting. For two years
he had charge of the graduate work in
economics theory at the University of
New York.
Recognized by Government
While conducting his classes at
New York university, Professor Fri-
day was investigating the amount of
loanable capital in the United States.
His paper on this subject won the re-
cognition of treasury officials of Wash-
ington.
Worked in Treasury
He was granted a leave of absence
by the University of New York to ac-
cept a position with the treasury de-
partment as statistical investigator.
Later, he was transferred to the post-
office department as a statistical ad-
visor on the telegraph and telephone
in the postal and telegraph adminis-
tration.'
It was only 14 years ago that Pro-
fessor Friday came to this University
as a student. On graduating he be-
came an instructor in the economics
department, and in a short time was
placed in charge of the accounting
classes.
Aided Accounting Department
For some time the officials of the
economics department had been en-
deavoring to put accounting on a
university basis, and under Professor
Friday this branch of the department
has reached its present high stand-
ard.
Great Asset to Department
Professor Friday will probably re-
tain his position at Washington until
next fall. Prof. H. C. Adams, of the
Economics department, said that the
adjunct of Professor Friday to the
faculty will greatly strengthen the
standing of that department.
SENIOR LIT CLASS ORL
TO BE COMPLETED TODAY
ADDRESSES MUST BE IN TODAY
FOR COMMENCEMENT IN-
VITATIONS
Members of the senior literary class
will have the last opportunity to af-
fix their home address opposite their
names on the class roll from 9 to 12
o'clock, Friday morning, March 14, in
the waiting room of Dean Effinger's
office. S. W. Sedgwick, '19, will be in
charge of the roll at that time.
Former System Unsatisfactory
This information is needed now in
order that the names and home ad-
dresses of all seniors may appear on
the commencement invitations. Form-
erly a complete roster of each gradu-
ating class was compiled after the
commencement exercises were over
and the graduates had left for their
homes but this system proved unsatis-
factory and entailed considerable ex-
pense which had to be covered by a
special assessment. The method now
being used does away with the addi-
tional cost and furthermore each sen-
ior will have a list of his classmates
in his possession before leaving Ann
Arbor.
Many More Come in
Up to Thursday afternoon only
silghtly more than 50 per cent of the
class had signed and Friday morning
is the ' last opportunity available to
seniors to get their addresses in. Those
who fail to do so will find only their
names appearing on the invitations.
Chance to Pay Back Dues
The senior lits will be given another
chance to pay their back dues between
9 and 12 o'clock' Friday morning in
he booth opposite the registrar's office.
The money is needed to pay for the
space which the class contracted* for
in the Michiganensian.

PROF. HENDERSON TELLS
OF EXTENSION PLANS,
"Plans for the work of the Univer-
sity extension division for this year
are threefold," said Prof. W. D. Hen-
derson Thursday. Coincident to the
acceptance of President Harry B.
Hutchins' resignation, Professor Hen-
derson was relieved of teaching in the
physics department as associate pro-
fessor and made director of the Uni-
versity etxension service with the ti-
tle of professor.
To Include More Cities
"In the department of credit of the
University extension service, courses
are at present conducted in Detroit,
Flint, Saginaw, and Jackson, with a
total registration of nearly 400 stu-
dents," he said. "It is planned to
place these extension credit courses
in more cities; possibly Bay City,
Grand Rapids, and Battle Creek.
"The department of extension has
conducted 1,500 to 1,800 lectures be-
fore an average audience of 250 per-
sons since the work began six years
ago. There will be a general revi-
sion of the subjects delivered in these
lectures in order to present topics
touching upon modern conditions and
of current interest to all.
Library Division Important
The University extension division
consists of 12 departments. In ad-
dition totthe ones mentionedaabove
seine of the more important are the
department of library rextension and
that of debating and public speaking.
The library extension service was
organized three years ago with Miss
Edith Thomas in charge. Its object
is to furnish to high schools, clubs,
and other organizations high grade
and up to date material relating to
modern questions.
Debating 'League Is Feature
One of the most recent develop-
ments of the extension service is the
establishment of a high school debat-
ing league with Mr. Ray K. Immel of
the oratory department as state man-
ager. The plan of the league Is to
divide the state into districts in
which the high schols all de-
bate the same questions, The two
winning high school teams are then
brought to Ann Arbor to hold the final
debate there.
STUDENT COUNCIL
PLANS NEW SCHEME
Leases governing the contracts of
rented rooms should be issued to stu-
dents and landlords, was the decision
of the Student council, reached at
their meeting Thursday evening. The
proposition will be presented to the
University Senate, and if approved
will becore a University ruling. The
question was raised because of the
too frequent disputes arising between
students and landlords over the ver-
bal agreements reached in regard to
rooms rented about the campus.
Permission was granted to the Ju-
nior Class to hold their annual J-Hop.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the members of the J-Hop
committee regarding general plans.
The Michigan Union Opera and
dates were approved, as was likewise
their trip, subject to the approval of
the University Senate.
The Council is to hold a mass meet-
ing in Hill auditorium in the near
future. As yet, the exact date has
not been announced.
