speech is the adjective. Many,
ters and speakers seem to have
gotten that there are three degrees
omparison. With them there is no
dation, no light and shadow. Every

ry virtue is god-like, every fault a
my; every breeze a tempest, every
lehill a mountain. Praise or blame
gars their vocabulary."

Publicity Interesting
iother point of interest would be
llection of the publicity which the
ersity has enjoyed during the last
nonths. This would tend to coun-
teract the hallowed veneration in
which they would undoubtedly hold
these poineer years of Michigan's ex-
istence. Our humaness would be
proven.
Thus we could go on compiling a
great mass of information which
would enable the Mr. Shaw of that
date to expand theypresent history of
the University to at least ten volumes..
We suggest that a committee and a
sub-committee be immediately ap-
pointed to delve into this question.
NATIVE AFRICAN GIRLS STUDY
GOWN DESIGNING IN LONDOlt
Several native African girls have
come .to London to study dressmaking.
They say the girls in Africa who wish
to be gowned fashionably have to waitl
too long for consignments of feminine
wearing apparel to arrive from Eu-
rope. Hence they are preparing them-
selves to meet the need for modistes in
Africa.
"ADAMLESS EDEN" PLANNED
FOR LONDON WORKING GIRLS
What is described as an " Adamless
Eden" is -about to be opened here in
the form of a small park where Lon-
don working girls may rest and medi-
tate undisturbed by young men.
The plan briginated with the Metro-
politan Public Gardens association
which is seeking to obtain for the pur-
pose four acres of waste land near
Hyde Park. ,
REMAINS OF PREHISTORIC
ELEPHANT FOUND IN FRANCE
Paris.-Parts of the fossilized re-
mains of a prehistoric elephant, said
by experts to be many thousands of
years old, have been found in the clay
of a tile works at Chagny, near Cha-
lons-sur-Saone. This is believed to be
the first instance in which such re-
mains have been found in Europe. It
is thought probable that when the
search is concluded the skeleton will
be fairly complete.

Hope For That
'Wild Collegian'
(By J. E. M.)
Hope is held out for "these wild
college youths," by the Reverend Wil-
liom L. De Vries, Ph. D., canon of
Washington Episcopal cathedral, who
spent several days last week in Ann
Arbor as a part of a year's survey of
student life among the larger educa-
tional institutions of the United States
and Canada.
Just For Excitement
"While I find more drinking at the
colleges just now than I have ever
Iknown before, I find less drunkenness
than in the old days. The present-day
youth drinks only to gratify a certain
desire for excitement that can be sat-
isfied in that manner better than in
any other," says Dr. De Vdies. "I be-
lieve that there is less immortality
among university students than among
the average young people.'
Hope of Nation
"The Middle Western college youth
is the hope of the nation. I find more
of idealism and character among this
group than among any other that I
have come in contact with. While the
young man in the East goes to college
because it is 'the thing to do,' the one
who attends a university it this part1
of the country does so with a sound
purpose-either to learn how to make .
a better living, or to learn better to
live.
"Do not underrate cultural'educa-
tion. Unless a man must specialize
in order to earn his living,,.that edu-
cation which gives him the broadest
outlook and promotes the highest
ideals is the best."

CRITIC CONSID90 O [NWIERS
(Continued from Page One)
He may picture a piteous spectacle,
but he does not suggest pity; he does
not consciously draw at the tear ducts.
Of course, he cannot always be im-
partial. Even de Maupassant occa-
sionally lost his judicial temper.
Does Not Analyze God
The modern does not analyze God;
he avoids conclusions as to eternity.
He may present the reactions of his
characters to redigion, but he confess-
es his own ignorance, and makes no
pretense.
In the sum, it may be said that the
modern tries to be honest.
It iw pathetic that in Amer'/a we
have been unwilling to give this man
his place, despite the fact that in Eu-
rope he is about the only type of
writer who has counted for over a half
century.
Thisobstinacy, due to Puritanism
and the arbitary "saving of souls,"
has been teribly to America's cost. Be-
cause we are just getting started it
may be long before we evolve an Ibsen
or a Conrad or a Hauptmann, or a
Hardy.
But in the mean'time let us not be
blind to what is happening. I dis-
like to offer a "system," but neverthe-
less, I suggest a careful study of such
European writers as have won the
Nobel Peace Prize in Literature.
For instance, one finds that the
Americans iost like Bjornson, Haupt-
mann, and Knut Hamsun, are Dreisey,
Edgar Lee Masters, Sherwood Ander-
son, and Willa Cather, and not such1
writers as William Allen White and
Winston Churchill (the one running to
tears, and the other to sugar):
I do not feel that I have done jus-I
tice to the subject, and probably many
think that I am incompetent, which is
probably true. I shall see if I can
produce more expert testimony.
