that some one group at least has taken the

>uld be permitted to earn any money he can
vacation" is too obviously just to be 'con-
-ally, in view of the fact that basketball, and

rticularly football, are generally held as be-
cally college sports, it is exceedingly doubt-
ther any ruling should be made permitting
to enter professional competition in either
fields; to do so would be merely to entour-
gr owing professionai tendency of the bas-
:ourt and the gridiron, which would be
indesirable. Baseball, on the other hand,
ly as highly commercialized as it can pos-
and is. not strictly a college sport anylow.

nerative baseball playing is to do him an injustice
and to help make him a liar.
Let us be thankful that our new sister conference
of the northern Middle West is willing to take the
responsibility of testing out the efficacy of new rul-
ings. The Big Ten may do well to watch the devel-
opment of the e4 system and to seek to profit
thereby.
SCIENCE TO ARMS!
Although the fight between theology and the
teaching profession in Kentucky has temporarily
subsided, with the tabling by the legislature of a bill
which would literally abolish the teaching of evolu-
tion in state schools, the issue can hardly be consid-
ered dead even yet. The very fact that the bill was
held over until the next session by a small majority
of two votes, suggests the possibility of a renewal
of the fight. It is even remotely possible that the
legislators finally may take it into their heads to
make the bill a law, and thus tie the hands of state
-educational institutions for years to come.
This deplorable Kentucky wrangle seems to be the
result of an anti-science movement which has been
growing of late in some sections of the country.
Promoted by sect prejudice, it is aimed at the very
basis of all scientific development. It is confined '
probably to the more conservative South and&.East;
a similar development could hardly occur in the
more liberal states north of the Ohio, it is said. But
nevertheless, the movement constitutes a very real
problem for the whole country.
William Jennings Bryan, professional condemner
of everything, has given the anti-science moveme~nt
occasional boosts. It was a speech of Mr. Bryan's
in fact, which first brought forth this senseless out-
burstin Kentucky against the teaching of evolution.
The quelling of the movement, though exceeding-
ly desirable, is no easy matter. The real solution
to the issue lies no doubt in mere education. Yet
those who promote the whole anti-science move-
ment, Mr. Bryan for example, are not only blirfrl,
but refuse to see, and thus are doubly armored
against the absorption of reason. As a result, the
real path of attack is closed t6 all who appreciate
the value of scientific work, and who would not have
its place destroyed.
Perhaps the scientists themselves could help mat-
ters very materially in the long run. So far, they
seem' to have been rather lax and too little im-
pressed with the seriousness of the situation. If.
they will, however, scientific men can combat the
propaganda of the uninformed prater better than
anyone else, and they owe it to future generations
of scholars and teachers to do so. If they have not
already, scientists should begin to realize fully the
true menace in the sitation, and then take steps to
reduce or eliminate the evil. The situation at pres-
ent confronting one or two sections ofthe country
is quite serous enough to warrant the taking of de-
cisive action by all those who stand for true educa-
tional enlightenment. k
We now are informed by the building and
grounds department that the formation of campus
lagoons may be blamed, not on the inefficiency of
the grainage system, but on the fact tlat the frozen
ground has held the water on the surface. Curious
how the same thing happens every year, and how
the puddle-wading student continues to expose him-
self to pneumonia while no attempts are made to
remedy the situation through the installation of sur-
face drains or the like.

Ode to a Doube Decker
When I would hence to Morpheus
Ahd leave the cares that here do vex,
I lay me in my bed - and cuss,
For woe is me, the bed's convex!
I balance high above the crowd,

And hold my place so far aloof ;
'Tis fortunate my head is bowed
Or I would bump it on the roof.
But staying in the air so high, .
What glorious grandeur thus is felt,
Until I turn - and then, my thigh
Is resting on a six-inch welt.1

OTHERS SAY:
INTERNATIONAL IS
(Harvard Crimson)
The cure for the world's ills, accord-
ing to Dr. John Mez; Washington cor-
respondent of the Frankfurter Zeit-
uig, may be found in the substitution
of nationalism for internationalism.
This is an opinion which more than
one political Writer of the day holds
and it is an opinion which on its face
is well founded. Nationalism, biol-
ogists now believe,is the result of en-
vironment and not of heredity, and
since nationalism is the cause of war,
the elimination of war depends on
altering the environment.
The great practical difficulty, how-
ever, lies in the fact that any such al-
teration is a matter of education. If
we can begin at the bottom and bring
up the next generation of the world's
millions in an internationalistic atmos-
phere in the course of a few genera-
tions wars will no longer be possible.
It may result in a further sb stitution
of class for nationalistic conflict but
we must run the risk of that. In the
meantime, however, war will cntinue
to be as imminent as ever. .
Frankly utilitarian, we believe that
honesty is the best policyrbecausedi4
pays. And it does pay for the indi
vidual because there is an organized
society to make dishonesty unprofit-
able. But what is there to make nation-
al dishonesty'-or aggression or what-
ever-unprofitable? Nothing that is
evident "to the eyes of the majority;
therefore when, insthe crisis of war,
nationalism comes rampant< to the
i°re, we say, "A fig for rules!"
If we are to abolish war forever we
must do it by means of educating the
coming generations out of their mate-
rialisticviewpoint. If we are to abol-
ish war in the immediate future we
must also devise some scheme for
making it worth while the sacrifice of
nation's interests for those of the
world. This, in our opinion, constitu-
tes the argument in favor of some
sort of a superstate whether in the
form of a league or an association of
nations.
