Murchison THE NEW IDEA IN TRAINING PROFESSIONAL MEN The present age is one of specializa- ou -- but not at the expense of a. oderate knowledge of literature and ie arts. The latest step in this movement place a certain amount of culturAl 'aining at the bottom of all profes- Lonal education has been taken by 10 D'ental Faculties association of merican Universities. This organization has seen fit to vise' the equivalent of two years of re ii'ary literary college work be- >re the study of dentistry. In other. vor, it has realized that the den- .t should know more than the mere tecbanics of dentistry. Literary qualifications have been de- landed by' the leadiig law and medi- al- schools of the country for some me. 'Engineering schools have al- sady seriously considered this pre- aratory work, and in all likelihood 'ill soon take active steps toward its tablishment. This tendency to a broader and more ultural education is. typical of the ewer age in which we are living. The enith of specialization seems to have een reached in American colleges, nd today we are reacting to a bigger lea - the idea that life holds more ian mastering the details of our par- cular calling. THE INTER-ALLIED GAMES Carl Johnson, Michigan's star track ian, has been selected to represent ie University in the inter-Allied ames to be held in France next ionth. There is a deep significance attach- I to this international athletic meet -the first to be held since the Olympic Ames of 1912. In these games the orld will see one mqte manifestation ' the great movement back to pre- 'ar institutions that have made them- elves worth revivng. The games have stood the test of even years of dormancy. Today the ations have made recognition of the emetidous value of competitive ath- ktcs by once more bringing them to ght. To be sur, Michigan is not to have large representation in the inter- Ilied games. But the man she is hnding is one whose quality has been anted national recognition. To Carl Jtohnson falls the honor of trrying the spirit of the Maize and Clipped Editorial SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM (From the Detroit News) The ideal of the university and col lege is to train its students how to think, so that they may go into the world preparede topress forward the boundaries of cultural and) technical knowledge and achievment, at the same time developing that knowledge of themselves and their fellows that is wisdom. To no other person is this knowl- edge and wisdom more necessary than to the newspaper reporter and writer He it is Who collects, selects and pre- sents in what he considers their due proportion the facts on which the great majority of people depend to form their judgment on current is- sues and upon which to base their philosophy of life. Newspapermen have looked to the universities and the colleges to train men for the professors of journalism; schools of journalism have been es- tablished, many of them, for years,; and it is fair now to judge of their type of men and women necessary to success or failure in turning out the judge with sureness of the value and 'significance of news, and with the proper philosophical foundation to comment upon the news with author- ity. . Such journalism as is taught at the University of Michigan may be said not to accomplish this purpose. This great institution sends out grad- uates acquainted with the history of leading newspapers and famous news- papermen; conversant with rules of English construction; able to place semicolons correctly, but it is left to the newspapermen in active service to impress upon the graduates that great human charity, indefatigable and intelligent effort in gtting all possible angles on any given subject, loyalty to principle and to his organ-. ization and accuracy, accuracy, accur- acy are the things without which no nicety of diction, clever assembling of words or profundity of book learning will avail. The university sends its journalists away from the campus knowing the theory of short story and novel con- struction, but shockingly ignorant of history, sociology, economics, and ele- mentary psychology, and, what is sad- der, without knowledge that his ignor- ance in these subjects is to his dis- advantage. It is not until after weary years of journeyman service that the university journalist begins to realize wherein he is lacking, and in the meantime he may have succumbed to the lure of the easiest way in news- paper work;' to the acquisition of the abiilty tp distinguish the feature story, present it in snappy, individual, entertaining style, and then to be con- tent; to quit thinking. One trouble seems to be that univer- sities like Michigan are inclined to consider their journalism schools as merely courses in English; to place an charge of them men with little or no active newspaper experience, unac- quainted with the ideals, and the trials and the conditions of newspapermen and newspaper work. The English professor conducting a journalism school of this kind, when he is not busy with teaching his ideas of prop- er newspaper English construction, often has been known to teach his students the grossly false theory that the business office dominates and dic- tates to the editorial office, and that this must be so because a newspaper is primarily a money making institu- tion like a slaughter-house or a mil- linery store. That idea seems prevalent among university men. Certainly a newspap- er must be run at a prot; because if it did not have sufficient public con- fidence to make a profit it would not be a good newspaper. But it is public confidence and public confidence alone that makes a newspaper successful, and the public detects ulterior mo- tives operating to' suppress or distort truth with a speed which has astonish- ed many a monied man who bought a good newspaper property thinking he could use it to further personal am- bitions. BARBERS WILL TAKE REST TO CELEBRATEDECORATION DAY All Tonsorial Parlors to Remain Open Until Eight O'clock Toight After due consideration, and care- ful weighipg of the pro's, and con's of the case, the barbers union has decreed that allbarber shops in Ann Arbor will be closed on Friday, but will be open until 8 o'clock Thursday Right By remaining open until this late hour, it is expected that all the local Beau Brummels may be accommodat- ed, and will present a neat appear- ance on Decoration day. Those who consider it a necessity to shave every 24 hours may beinconvenienced by this ruling, and if they appear somewhat shaggy on Friday evening, they are urged to bear in mind that Decoration day comes but once a year, and it is the barbers' privilege to "step out" on this occasion. Moreover, the morning will be spent in sharpening razors, and scissors, so that highly efficient service will be assured on Saturday. WANTS DEAN OF MEN CRITICIZES DOCTRINE THAT MEN IN COLLEGE SHOULD CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES Editor, The Michigan Daily:- "Granted that a man of high acad- emic standing, coupled with a square sense of the right, and a warm heart can be found, I believe it would mean a curbing of personality and a ten- dency to destroy a man's power toi choose for himself," says one of the campus leaders in voicing his judg- ment on a Dean of Men. So fortified has .the Michigan man become behind his mask of indepen- dence that he even shies at the idea of an elderly advisor. It will de- prive him of his personality, and re- duce him to the level of taking an- other's opinion. So does President Wilson find it with a system of ad- visors. No man can afford to plunge into things on his own opinons. Our en- tire system of government recognizes this fact; it goes beyond that to the industrial world; in fact it would be difficult to find where such a system does not exist. And who among us can say that because a man takes advice he loses personality. It is indeed only by intimate discussion with others that we often arrive at the best conclu- sions with regard to many actions. Conceited indeed would be the man who would set the college wan above the level of the best niinds in the na- tion, and make him impervious to ad- vice. In the University man finds himself in a formulative period. He frequent- ly is undecided as to what he desires to do. And just as frequently he hesi- tates to approach the professor with his problem. It may be argued that the professor stands as a link be- tween the faculty and the student body, but it is a known fact that the majority of students very seldom are on any better terms with their in- structors than a speaking acquaint- ance. Far be it from the student to bring a matter which concerns him personally to such a man, under the conditions. It is for such students that the Dean of Men would fill a big place in the life of the University. Our deans at present cannot perform these func- tions, for they are too much wrapped up in their administratice duties. Care must be exercised, however, in the choosing of such a, man. If he comes to be an official, there will be for him a certain attitude of awe which will counteract the very purpose for which such an' office is created. A' Dean of Men must be a man who can be one among the men, who by his personality will bring the student to feel that he is personally interested in him, and not merely there to draw the salay attendant upon the work.

Engineering News Changes in the summer session course of engineering mechanics have been made to avoid conflict with math- ematics 4. Inquiries may be made at the secretary's office for particulars. Examination schedules for the engi- neering college have been prepared and will be sent to the printer within the next few days. It is thought that they will be completed by the first of next week, at which time they will be on distribution at the secretary's of- fice. Particular care has been taken to avoid conflicts in examination dates. but owing to the number of students who are not taking regular courses, it has been unavoidable to some extent. Special examination hours have been set for students coming under this head. E. J. Smith, graduate of mechanical engineering in 1914,is in the city on business. He is connected with the Ingersoll-Rand company. Seniors met at 3:30 o'clock Wednes- day afternoon near the senior benches in cad and gowns and attende the No- tre Dame game. A special guide will conduct the members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering through the Hoover plant Thursday afternoon on a tour of inspection. Particular study will be made of the manufacture of steel ball bearings. Those who will make the trip will meet at 3 o'clock near the arch. All classes in mechanical engineering are to be dismissed at that hour, and men taking courses in other departments wishing to go should see Prof. H. C. Anderson. It is expected that the trip will take about two hours. New England Club ance--Arcade Hall TONGHT 9 TO 1 Plate Printing All work guaranteed I VAHR' S UNIVERSITY ~ BOOK STORE OPEN DAY AND NIGHT 308 S.

Xaln St. i / df o To be a success, a department of journalism must be in charge of some man who knows the newspaper from many years of service; a man who will study what the university as a whole has to offer to the student in journalism and incorporate it in his sthedule of studies; but above all, he must be inspirational and able to teach the student with all the force of a zealot that to be a journalist he must have a mastering sense of duty to his fellows. France Auctioning War Automobiles Paris, May 28.-The French military authorities hold periodical sales by auction of automobiles for which the army has no further use. The demand for these machines, many of which do not need very great repairs, is so great that one day's receipts recently were the equivalent of $240,000.
