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. f Former Faculty Man Visits Here James H. Pottinger, '12, former member of th faculty of the fores- try department, is visiting in Ann Arbor this week. He is on an auto tour from Richmond, Va., to Los An- Sirai ," TN OF TEXTS WENLEY USES 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. Y. H.

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.

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 yS Sping Vacation most convenient of times to have any broken furniture re- paired, finished or upholstered. P. B. HARDING PHONE 381-W 218 E. OJRON ST.

Few ihdeed have been as y as the New York pick-pocket in the sub- ition of what they got for what they went 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. Second Floor
