Representatives for 11 universities
and colleges of the Missisaippi valley
states met yesterday in the Union for
the 12th annual Manual Arts and In-
dustrial Education conference. Wil-
liam T. Bawden, assistant to the com-
missioner, United States Bureau of
Education, is chairman of the confer-
ence.
H. W. Schmidt, of the state depart-
ment of public instfuction, Madison,
Wis.,.gave the first address of the con-
ference at 10 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing on the "Influence of the Vocational
Motive in the Choice of Curricula by
High School Students." Mr. Schmidt
brought a report of his investigation
of some 15,000 students in 54 high
schools in Wisconsin showing to
to what extent the courses selected
had influenced them in their careers.
Vocational Work Ineffective
The report of Mr. Schmidt shows
that special courses such as home
economics or the trades do not have
any definite function in guiding stu-
dents into the 'related occupations.
His study showed an unexpectedly
small number, practically one-sixth,
of boys and girls undecided as to their
future.
Mr. Schmidt concluded by saying
that his investigation led him to be-
lieve that a further study is neces-
sary in order to determine just what
should be the real function of spec-
ial courses such as agriculture and
commercial courses in the education
of the high school boy and girl.
E. T. Filbey, acting director of the
vocational bureau of the Detroit pub-
lic schools led a discussion of the
subject discussed by Mr. Schmidt.
Burton Unable to Attend
Assistant Commissioner Ba wden
presided at the luncheon held'at 12:15
o'clock in the Union. Dean Allen
Whitney, of the School of Education,
spoke at the luncheon and reviewed
the work done here for manual arts
training. President Marion L. Bur-
ton was unable to attend the luncheon
because of the approaching meeting
of the Board of Regents.
C. F. Klenfelter of the federal board
of Vocation education, 'Washington,
D. C,, spoke at the afternoon session
on "Teacher Training Problems of
the Genera Industrial School," show-
ing the need for teachers sufficiently
versatile to teach many subpects. He
also brought out the fact that states
are encouraging the obtaining of men
with such versatility to organize
schools in the state offering general
courses in the industrial arts and re-
lated subjects. It is the idea of Mr.
Kleinfelter that industrial schools be
established much in the order of the
present high schools.
Lauds Correspondence Idea
At the evening conference James
McKinney of the American Correspon-
dence School, Chicago, spoke on "Sug-

gestions from Correspondence-instruc-
tion Methods,", advocating the adop-
tion of "the correspondence-instruction
methods by universities in their ex-
tension courses and stating that it
could be used very advantageously
by graduate students in connection
with their actual professions or voca-
tions.

Opera Personnel Disptays Ease And
Stage Presence In Third Night Sholv

(By Edwi&R,Meiss)
An ease and stage presence which
permitted the full and unhampered
display of a production elaborate in
scenery, racy in lines, exquisite in
costume, and professional in the qual-
ity of its dance numbers, were evinc-
ed last night by the cast and chorus
of the sixteenth Michigan Union opera,
"Make It for Two", in its third per-
formance at the Whitney theater.
An interweaving of dance and scen-
ic numbers with the persisting thread
of the plot completed the evolution
from straight musical comedy to the
more splendid musical revue, through
which the Mimes' productions have
been passing during the past few
years.
That which contributes possibly
more than any other factor to the
success of this year's opera is the

perfection and originality of its solo,
duet, and chorus dance sketches.
These show a skill and training unsur-
passed in professional performances.
Earl C. Powers, '22, and George Z.
Hoffman, '24, held the audience amaz-
ed with the effectiveness of their spe-
cial duet number in the second act.
A well-chosen cast was headed by
Arthur H. Holden, '24, opposite whom
played Howard A. Donahue as the in-
genue daughter of Wilfrid R. Laurie,
'22L, and William R. Sutherland, '22,
playing the roles of Mr. and Mrs.
Haughton in a manner which reminds
one of "Bringing up Father".
A real character sketch was that of
the poet, as portrayed by James Dres-
bach, '24, while had Shakespeare seen
the robust figure of Albert F. Schir-
mer, '22E, in the part of the vamp, he
might never have said, "Frailty, thy
name is woman."

conferences to be carried on this year
throughout the state.

"College Thoughts After 80 Years"
Contributed by "Ousted
Student"
PRIZE WINNING SHORT STORY 1
APPEARS IN CURRENT IS'EY
A pro and con discussion of Mich-7
igan's democracy, and, the story of an
"ousted alumnus" who made good, form
the features which arouse the greatest
interest among the various types of
articles in the December issue of
Chimes which appeared on the cam-.
pus yesterday.
Of course, the tale of anyone whom
the University authorities had at one {
time unredeemably consigned to etern-
al and everlasting Tantalus is relished
potently by the student body, especi-
ally if the consigned has since achiev-
ed success in the wide world and re-
turns in words to chuckle at his con-
signees. This Mr. Fred C. Kellly, at'
present a noted journalist, proceeds
to do in his clever contribution to
Chimes, entitled "College Thoughts
After Twenty Years."
Chimes' return this month to its
originally stated function, "the ex-
pression of student opinion," with its
"Yes" and "No" answers to the timely
question, "Is Michigan Democratic?"
Unfortunately the two writers, Leo
1. Hershdorfer, '23, on the affirmative
and Maynard Newton, '22, on the nega-
tive, take different points of view, one
arguing the democracy of Michigan
from the objective standpoint of her
institutions and activities, the other
choosing the subjective point of view
to prove that individual students are

SPEAKSTONIGHT
Lecture Incorrectly Announced in The
Daily for Last
Night
"ADMIA(ISTRATION OF CRIMINAL
JUSTICE", TOPIC OF ADDRESS
Charles S. Whitman, former govern-
or of New York and recognized au-
thority on the subject of criminal jus-
tice, will deliver an address tonight in
Hill auditorium. It was incorrectly
stated in yesterday's issue of The
Daily that he was scheduled to speak
last night.
Mr. Whitman has chosen for his
topic tonight "The Adminstration of
Criminal Justice", a subject in which
he has been actively interested for
many' years, due to the various offices
which he has held in New York.
During his term as district attorney
in New York county, he succeeded in
breaking up and convicting the fam-
ous gang of law breakers of which
Police Lieutenant Becker was the
head.
While serving in an executive po-
sition in New York city, Mr. Whitman
was also responsible for the institu-
tion of special night courts, an insti-
tution which has spread over the
country to most of the principal ci-
ties.
Mr. Whitman is being entertained by
Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, of the political
science department, and will be the
guest of honor at a luncheon which
is being given this noon at the Union
by Professor Reeves.
Professor Reeves will introduce
Mr. Whitman at the lecture tonight.
Popular Numbers
In Organ Recita
(By Sidney B Coates)
Borowski's Sonata, No. 1 in A minor
was the opening number at the twi-
light organ recital yesterday after-
noon in Hill auditorium by Earl V.
Moore, University organist. The work
showed Mr. Moore at his best, being
played with a thorough understand-
ing of the work and of its possibilities
on the auditorium organ.
Then followed three numbers popu-
lar for their much loved melodies.
These numbers were Massenet's "Ele-
egy", Dvorak's "Humoreske" and Le-
mare's "Chant de Bonheur", and they
showed, by the appreciation which
they brought, the American tendency,
as far as music is concerned, to pre-
fer the old, the tried, the beautiful t
the new. and machine carved. The
first two of these numbers, however
written primarily for the piano, lose

(By Associated Press)
Washington, Dec. 8.-The prelimin-
ary draft of the proposed four power
Pacific agreement is understood to in-
clude four clauses, the first of which
declares that the agreement shall
serve as a substitute for the Anglo-
Japanese alliance.
The draft further provides, it is un-
derstood, for discussion or conferences
in case any matter of disputatious na-
ture arise, thus incorporating Presi-
dent Harding's idea for a later series
of international conferences.
Conference Pushes Ahead
While they wait for definite reply
on the naval ratio plan on the four
power agreement, the arms confer-
ences are pushing ahead with other
features of their negotiations.
Today's developments brought into
prominence for the first time the ques-
tion of a limitation of fortifications
and naval bases on the Pacific islands,
and although the subject was not ad-
vanced to the stage of formal ex-
changes, an agreement was forecast
preserving in general the existing
status.
Nations Make Pledge
Again applying the American "four
points" to the Chinese problem, the
nine nations represented in the far
eastern committee, pledged themselves
to make no treaties or agreements in
the future infringing on China's terri-
torial or administrative integrity or
interfering with her right to economic
and national development.
In the Shantung negotiations the
progress was less pronounced but the
Japan and Chinese delegations held
another convocation of the subject of
public properties and afterwards both
also renewed their predictions of a
satisfactory settlement.

A PLEA FOR CHARITY
Only one hundred and fifty dollars were needed to give the
crippled hospital children and the poor city youngsters a Christ-
mas party. Most of it is still needed, for the campus, so far,
has failed to respond to the appeal of the Student Christian
association for funds. Whether the deluge of drives has at last
pushed the college public beyond the limits of its patience, or
whether the campus is just plain disinterested is a matter for
conjecture.

PrF.SUNOWALLSPEAKS
BEFORE DETROIT ALUMNI
TELLS OF PLANS FOR TEACHING
PERSONAL SANITATION
TO STUDENTS
(Special to The Daily)
Detroit, Dec. 8.-Prof. John Sund-
wall, director of student physical.
welfare, was the faculty speaker at
the regular weekly luncheon of the
Detroit Alumni association at the
Board of Commerce here today.
His talk dwelt mostly with the work
of the University in relation to the
general health of the student body, de-
claring that every student receives a
thorough physical and medical exam-
ination to determine his fitness, so
that those who are found to be unfit
are given special care and attention
to better equip them to take up their
academic work
"It is our intention," said Dr. Sund-
wall, "to teach personal sanitation to
every student. At present we are
working toward this end by endeavor-
ing to have the 99 per cent of the stu-
dent body who are not in Varsity
sports engaged in some branch of ath-
letics."
EDUCATION JUNIORS FORM
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION
Herold C. Hunt was -elected tem-
porary chairman of the junior clasi
of the School of Education yesterday
at its meeting in Tappan hall. Rosi
Barton was elected temporary secre
tary.
v A committee composed of the tem
l porary chairman, temporary secre
e tary, Adele Unger, Clarence Duncan
a and Josephine Russell was chosen tV
- nominate the officers of the class.. Th
- election will take place at 4:30 o'clocl
e Jan. 5,' the place to be announce
later.

It would be strange if the students are disinterested. One
of the virtues of the college person is supposed to be his interest
in other people in spite of his partial isolation from outside
affairs. It would not be strange if he were weary because of
the overpowering number of money drives, but it would cer-
tainly be pitiful if there isn't a dime or a quarter or a half dol-
lar left in the wallet for the support of a good cause.
To use the usual sentimental phrases is hardly necessary.
Everyone should already be well-acquainted with the rather sad
plight of these unfortunate children. Everyone knows how much
Santa Claus and Christmas meant to him when he was little,
and how he felt when he saw the Christmas tree. Everyone
knows what Christmas, without anything which usually comes
with Christmas, will mean for these youngsters.
These things do not need repetition. Nor does the campus
need to be told that it has a duty to perform even if it is disin-
terested. The campus knows all that. The only question is
whether there is a lack of real Christmas spirit. There is an
excellent chance to show that you actually have it - or that you
are beyond redemption. If you have, you'll fill those voting boxes
which will be on the campus to overflowing today, so that twice
two hundred and fifty poor kids can have a Christmas party.

Wisconsin Dean Visits Prof. Phillips
George C. Sellery, dean of the col-
lege of letters and science of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, was in the city
