Business Manager 'The Guillotine 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.

"Ah, good afternoon," she said, But the train just cut her dead. "Girl Hiccoughs For Three Weeks Steady."-Maybe he was worth it.

Shinkman 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!

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.
