I STUDBENT QUESTIONS WR
MAINTAINS ENGLISH BOOKS ARE
TOO ADVANCED AND LACK IN
" FUNDAMENTALS ,
Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
It seems to me that Professor Wen-
5 ley has formed a sort of habit in get-
5 ting his text books from Englsh uni-
5 versties for a few of his courses in
philosophy. I say this with not the
least prejudice against English
schools and authors nor against the
professor's choice.
Last sumer he recommended
Bosenquet's "What Religion Is" In
his class of philosophy of religion.
This semester he has recommended
5 L. T, Hobhouse's "The Rational
Good" as a text book in his ethics
class. Whether these so-called texts,
which I know are English books and
are used as texts, represent the best
available in their respective fields is
E a question, hard to decide.
i eld Is Limited
Dr. Bosenquet's monograph on re-
ligion is a nice piece of metaphysical
= dissertation, which in oder to be
perfectly understood and appreciated
needs minds that have received at
least two years' training in philoso-
°phy. And the fact is that this book
was recommended to all of the class
irrespective of the amount of training'
previously received in philosophy,.
SAnd another thingin. such fields as
Sreligion, ethics and several other
philosophy courses what an author*
may dogmatically assert to be . true
for himself may not be so for others.
And moreover, to confine one's class
1 to a single such text in those fields
- seems a bad thing and forcing the
students to memorize the contents of
them seems worse. i
As e.to L T. Hobhouse's "The Ra-
tional Good," I may say that it is
more like' a treatise on social psycho-
logy than ethics. The fundamental
thing disdussed in it is more psycho-
logical-an analysis of mental activi-
ties-than ethical. The relation be-
tween the individual, and the society,
and: tha between .the individual and
the universe are not primarily dealt
with, although allusions are made by
means of illustrations. The forma-
tion of institutions, control over the
PEOPLE VOTE ON PROPOSED
CHARTER AMENDMENT APR. 3
"To direct and regulate the con-
struction, eregtion, alteration, equip-
ment, repair, or removal of buildings
and structures erected or to be erect-
ed" in the city is the proposed amend-
ment to the city charter which the
people of Ann Arbor will vote upon
in the city election-to be held.April 3.
If this amendment is passed, definite
steps may be taken to zone the city
into residential and commercial dis-
triets, in the opinion of I. G. Reynolds,
city clerk.
Another amendment providing for
$12,500 to be raised by taxation for
the installaton of an automatic elec-
tric fire alarm system in the business
districts of the city will also be voted
upon in the election.

individual, and the reaction of the
individual to, the institutional stimuli
are not dwelt upon.
Backgrounds Lacking
Historical background of ethics is
lacking, and the present ethics is not
taken into particular consideration.
"The Rational Good" is an essay in-
philosophy although its central prob-
lem is a psychological one, even
though the author himself does not
sympathize with psychologists..sItis
a good book in its kind and quite
readable. But as a text. in ethics it
lacks considerable fundamental quali-
ties and quantities.
L. T. Hobhouse's "Development and
Purpose" has more of ethics in it than
"The Rational Good." His "Morals
in Evolution" probably represents
one of the best treatises on ethics.
To recommend "The Rational Good"
as a textbook does not mean to make
available to the student the best that
there is in the field of ethics. I shcild
say that one would appreciate this
book more as a side-reader than as
textbook. The reasons , why Prof.
Wenley has chosen "The Rational
Good" in his ethics (course 5h) is a
mystery, at least to me, but probably
the professor ia justified in his pref-
erence with reasons.

acid fruit in each meal, preferably
at the close of the meal.
Recent experiments with vitamine
deficient diets indicate that the teeth
may be seriously affected by malnutri-
tion, although the relationship of
vitamines to the teeth has not been
established. There is reason to be-
lieve that the inclusion of milk, and
the green leafy vegetables, both of
which are high in calcium and vita-
mines is a wise protective measure.
Hard Foods Desirable
For the sake of our teeth then, we
should eat more hard foods and mas-
ticate all foods thoroughly; we should
decrease the sweets and increase acid
foods and fruits; and we should stress
those foods that are high in calcium
and vitamine content.
Watch for the "M's." Today Is "W"
Day.

Diet and Teeth
What we eat and how we eat it
have' a great deal to do with the
health /of our teeth and gums. Our
teeth and the tissues which support
them to be well, need exercise just
as do the organs of the body. To
that end hard foods which require
vigorous chewing should be included
in every meal. This will not only
afford a healthy stimulus to the at-
taching tissues about the teeth, but
will also act as a scrubbing agent
to cleanse the teeth and the mouth.
Sweets May Be Harmful
Eating sweets in 'any form may be
harmful to the teeth. Sugars and
sweetened foods tend to stick about
the teeth and favor the growth of
bacteria, especially those which pro-
duce decay of the teeth. On the
other hand acids stimulate a free flow
of saliva that tends to wash the teeth
and automatically cleanse them. It
is wise, therefore, to include some

The measure of our economic standing is mon-
ey and because every man is envious of eco-
nomic prestige he sets about to gain posses-
sion of as much money as possible in the
shortest possible time. Lack of experience and
a super-abundance of -zest is the reason why
many men find themselves entangled in some'
fantastic money-making scheme that is posi-
tively doomed to failure. Mis-directed ambi-
tion is probably the cause of as many failures
as the much flaunted "line of least resistance."
Sometime when human 1knowledge is much
more complete than it is today we may learn
that there are only two roads to success. One
.will be open to just one man in a million.
That will be the road of genius. The other
will be open to all mankind but only the work-
ers, only the thrifty, persistent and persever-
ing toilers will have the strength to travel it.
This will be the plodder's road and probably
some great man will tell us that after all it is
the best of the two.
Even the most attractive Spring Suit is incom-
plete without a chic Blouse. And Dame Fash-
ion has designated gingham as the material for'
Spring tub-blouses. Its crisp freshness lends
itself well to this use. Dainty dimity comn-
bined with ginghaiff offers another pleasing
model.
Gingham Blouses, some of them, have Brain-
ley collars with neat little black ribbon bows
at the neck and button straight down the back,
while other models have the popular tuxedo
collars with tiny white frills at the edge. These
blouses come in white and navy, red, green or
orchid check or in tan with check collar and
are especially priced at $2.95.
