GRIN AND ICE CAUSE
AMAGE TO PROPERTY
As a result of yesterday's steady
downpour which froze as it fell, coat-
ing the city with a glaze of ice, tele-
phone service was seriously crippled,
lighting power impaired, railway and
interurban traffic delayed, to say
nothing of the general tie-up that,
hindered activities in many towns of
lower Michigan. Ann Arbor had more
the appearance of a crystalized fairy-
land than, of a thriving college town
as torrents of rain covered the trees,
shrubs and house-tops with a heavy
ice coating. Hundreds of boughs
scattered the ground aid many limbs
hung broken, unable, to bear the
weight of the ice. As they fell they
tore down wires which resulted in a
general summons for repairmen.
Many Suffer in Storm
Among the public service compan-
ies, who reported damages received
from the storm were the Detroit Edi-
son company, Michigan State Tele-
phone company, D. J. & C. Electric
railway, While -the Ann Arbor railroad
reported a delay in train schedule be-
tween here and Toledo. No notice
was received from the Michigan Cen-
tral line of delays.
The most damage befell the tele-
phone lines, when alnubst every long
distance connection was broken dur,1
ing yesterday afternoon. At least one
half mile bf poles were down between
Ann Arbor and Whitmore, while Ann'
Arbor city lines suffered to some ex-
tent. Incidently, the Western Union
telegraph office had few disturbances
and communications were carried on
as usual.
The Detroit Edison company report-
ed that the power line which comes
directly from Detroit had been cut
off at noon yesterday, leaving several
towns near here entirely dependent
on Ann Arbor current. Dexter was
without power 'for some time 'during
the day, while Northville, Saline and
Milan remained out of current with
workmen still working on the fallen
lines.

Special Concert
'leases Audience'
(By Thomas E. Dewey)
Marked by excellent ' chorus work
and thoroughly satisfactory solo work,
the singing of "The Creation," by

ICATORS IN LAST Of
CONFERENCE SESSIONS

Franz Joseph Haydn in Hill auditor-
ium last night in the complimentary
concert to the Schoolmasters' conven-
tion, was of unusual interest.
Most conspicuous, was the work of
the chorus of high school students,
directed by George Oscar Bowen, di-
rector of public school music in Ann1
Arbor schools. Clearness of diction
and acuracy of attacks marked the
work of the chorus which showed ex-
cellent training.. In the pianissimo
chorus work during the duets, and
in the different solo part work the ef-
fects obtained by Mr. Bowen were re-
markably effective.
Taking the part of Gabriel and later
of Eve, Mrs. Muriel Margarel-Kyle,
soprano, of Detroit, showed a flexible,
well-handled voice of fie quality. Her
voice is rich and has volume, showing
to best advantage in the Eve solos and
duets in the latter part of the work.
Mr. William Wheeler, tenor, head of
the voice department of the School of
Music, offered a thoroughly artistic
Uriel. His masterly handling of the
difficult technical parts and remark-
able breath control were most evident
in the first and second recitatives. In
the perfect legato passages and delic-
ately handled descriptive work of the
"And God Created Man" recitative and
air he did most excellent singing.
Carl Lundgren, bass, head of the
voice department of the Michigan
State Normal college in Ypsilanti,
sang the parts of, Raphael and Adam.f
Hr. Lundgred reached his best in the
"Rolling in Foaming Billows" air, dis-
playing a good technique and under-
standing of the work.
The organ accompaniments were
played by Earl V. Moore, University
organist, and the piano work was done
by Miss Margaret Mason and Miss
Ava Comin.
Prof. Cook Recovered from Illness
Prof. C. W. Cook, of the geology de-
partment, who was confined to his
home last week because of illness,
has sufficiently recovered to resume
his classes in' the University. '

Whitney Makes Talk
Dean A. S. Whitney, of the School
of Education, presented the proposed
bill of placing the funds of normal
schools in the hands of the State
Board of Education. The second pro-,
posal presented was to increase the
State Board of Education from three
to six members and to place in their
hands the power of electing the state
superintendent of public instruction.
Mr. E. G. Cameron, executive sec-
retary of the Michigan State Teach-
ers' association, outlined the method
of procedure for the carrying out of
these proposals and Mr. E. L. Miller,
principal of the Detroit Northern High
school, spoke further on the argu-i
ments in favor of the legislative pro-
gram.
Dean Walter Miller, of the. Univer-
sity of Missouri gave an illustrated
lecture on "Syracuse; the Rival of
Athens in the West" at 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in Alumni hall
under the auspices of the Schoolmas-
ters' club.
The lecture was of a classical. na-
ture and specifically for students of
Greek. The history and importance
of Sicily, which was founded by Greek
colonists, was taken up and Syracuse
was compared to Chicago as the new
leader of the west, while Athens took
the position of New York, as the once
unrivalled monarch.

Interferes with Trains
Both the D. J. & C. and Ann Arbor
roads stated that their most serious
trouble was in sending dispatches
over the wires, thus interfering with
blocking systems and orders., Trains
on the Ann Arbor werje travelling on
schedule -from the north, but delays
had occurred on the south run. Inter-
urban cars were running two hours
late coming in from Jackson, while
service between Ypsilanti and Detroit
was irregular. No trolley wires had
been reported down up to 5 o'clock.'
Falling tree limbs nearly resulted
in several.accidents in the city. One
of the trees in front of the Union
building was split last night, crash,
ing down on an automobile which was
parked at the curbing. A group,of
passing students were nearly struck,
the blow;eaving the top of the iar
in and breaking the windshield. An-
other tree: on E. William street also
split and pulled down the trolley wire
directly beneath.
'Associated Press dispatches, from
Detroit were likewise cut off by the

COOLEY SAYS ENGINEERING I
IS A LEARNED PROFESSION
Contrary to Opinion of' Some, Engin-'
eers Spend Much Time in Study
Before Entering Business
"Is engineering a learned profes-
sion?" Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of
the Engineering college, presented
and answered this question, at a talk
to the sophomore engineers yesterday
morning in room 348, Engineering
building.
In discussing this question further
he said: "There are a great many
people who think not, and yet while
wo are in school we spend as much'
time on the study of 'engineering as
do the students of any other profes-
sion. There can be no questioning of
the fact that we know our own pro-
fession, but that is all we do know."
That one of the most important
things for all engineers to do is to
take his place in civic life, is the,
opinion of Dean Cooley. "If the eng-
ineer will do this it will not be long
until he is recognized," he declared.
