The Night Before Easter
T'was the night before Easter, the
eggs were-plain white,
So the head of the household he bell-
ered with might,
"I'll lay for the Rabbit, wherever he's
tracked,
I'll have colored hen fruit or dye in
the act!
So he ransackedtthe household from
cellar to garret,
And forth from oblivion these treas-
ures did ferret:
Ma's rouge and her lip stick, the wash
lady's bluing,
The iodine bottle not even eschewing
And with this assortment of excellent
dye,.
He tinted three dozen, a joy to the
eye.
An eyebrow pencil from sister's bou-
doir,
The egglets did stencil with pictures
galore
And when ma came home, she grew
cold as a rock,
Looked at the eggs and suffered shell
shock.
"Curfew, Thou Shalt Not Ring To-
night," was the first anti-tocsin.
Her Feelings Were Hurt
Last week Tuesday, gentle Jane
Met a passing railroad train.
"Ah, good afternoon," she said,
But the train just cut her dead.
"Girl Hiccoughs For Three Weeks
Steady."-Maybe he was worth it.
One of the things difficult to under-
stand after seeing a Turk is why a
bath was ever named after him.

SAFETY FIRST ON THE HURON
The approach of warm weather
means the more frequent use of the
Huron on sunny afternoons. And this
means in turn that more admonitions
must be given to those venturing on
the waters.
Every year at Michigan some acci-
dent occurs. Usually it is because of
carelessness on the part of those on
the river. No matter how much warn-
ing and caution is always given, it is
disregarded.
If you are in a canoe, do not take
a chance 'by venturing too near the.
dam, or by trying to do fancy "stunts
for someone else's benefit. And if the
water is high, and you are warned not
to go out, don't go. Many of the acci-
dents on the Huron have occurred be-
cause of the high water and the con-
sequently swift current.
Don't take chances. It doesn't add
to the pleasure; and may result in
castastrophe. Let safety first be your
motto.
WELCOME, SCHOOLMASTERS
The Michigan Schoolmasters' club
is again in Ann Arbor, for its'annual
meeting. The University has been the
host of the Schoolmasters for more
than half a century, and is proud of
the fact. It is but fitting that the
conventions of the association should
be held at the seat of the state's larg-
est educational institution.
Too little credit as a rule is given
members of the teaching profession,
who play 'a most important part in
the development of a nation. It is
through education that good citizens
are made. Without it, a country
would become chaotic in thought and
actions. I, is generally admitted that
Russia's downfall is due to the fact
that the :great mas of her people are
uneducated.
The Schoolmasters are meeting to
discuss various aspects of the teach-
ing profession, and to further in any
way possible the cause of education.
It is a most important work in which
they are engaged, and Michigan is
glad to offer the use of the campus
for the few brief days of their visit.
Welcome, Schoolmasters!
Keeping It Dark
A knight who on his way did tear,
Had colic. Tell me when and where?
The answer is-I trust it's right-
T'was in the middle of the night.

Drummer to lady buyer-"Could I
see you apart for a few moments, Miss
Sprightly ?"
Lady buyer-"Say, what do you
think I am, a puzzle for the little
ones"

Water Per Capita Daily."-Ye Daily.

he said, "Water, water, everywhere
and not a drop to drink."

Life Is Easy For
Mtichigan 's Frosh
How to keep the freshmen in their
proper state of subjugation is a
problem which has aroused almost as
much discussion and bitter argument
as the proposed league of nations and
is certainly of much longer standing.!
The Michigan man need not grumble
nor claim that he is harshly treated,
for Michigan traditions are more lax'
than those of most colleges.
Princeton has recently issued a new
set of rules that ought to prove suc-
cessful in keeping the most wayward
on the straight and narrow.
The freshmen there must trudge his
weary way without the aid of a friend
In an automobile, for no first year
man is permitted to ride. Nor can he
peddle his way through the city
streets, for that humbler mode of
transportation, the bicycle, is forbid-
den.
Even that lowest form of locomo-
tion, walking, is restricted to a great:
degree. They must surrender pos-
session of the sidewalks to members
of all other classes yet they must not
walk on the grass. And the list of
streets and places forbidden would!
tally up well with the supplement to
the students' directory if ever pub-1
lished.
"Modesty," the old violet slogan,'
has been dragged out as the symbol of
freshman; dress. The freshman pot
of our campus ought to have the lines,
of a Borsalino or Stetson compared
with the black skull cap of Princeton.
No white flannels, no mackinaws, nol
short coats, no fancy vests, and noth-
ing but black shoes.
