No. .64 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1921 PRICE FIVE CEN'I 11 SCHOOLS GAIN IN ANNUAL MANUAL FIRST DAY'S PROGRAM PRESENTS THREE PRINCIPAL TALKS FIRST ADDRESS ON VOCATIONAL 'STUDIES Speakers Discuss Teachers' Training Problems and Correspondence Instruction Methods 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. ALL MOVIE SCENARIOS DUE BEFORE TOMORROW NIGHT Scenarios for the University movie must be turned in to the secenarlo editor of The Daily before S o'clock tomorrow night, t":v hour when the contest closes. Any received after that time can- not be accepted, as the judges must start work immediately on grading -the plots. A decision will be announced as soon as possible. 1 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." HUMMER ELECTED VARIETY KEYNOTE 1-HOP CH9iRMAN OF XMAS CHIMES Coolidge Kres,Robert Martin, Robert Gibson Compose Balance of Committee EXCLUSIVE JUNIOR AFFAIR IS PREFERENCE OF CLASS Charles Hummer was -elected chair- man of the J-Hop committee at a meet- ing of the junior lit class held yester- day afternoon in Natural Science audi- torium Coolidge Kreis and Robertt Martin were chosen as committeemen to fill the vacancies left by the with- drawal of James Hume, and the elec- tion of Hummer to the chairmanship. The committee now consists ofI Charles Hummer, chairman, Coolidge Kreis, Robert Martin and Robert Gib- son. The class also went on record as being in favor of making the J-Hop as exclusively a Junior affair as pos- sible, by giving juniors preference in the distribution of tickets. FACULTY MEN To ATTEND PROFESSORS CONENTION Six Michigan faculty men will rep- resent the local chapter of the Amer- ican Association of University Profes- sors at the national convention of the organization, which will be held Dec. 29 and 30 at Pittsburg.

Whitney leaves today for Lansing, where he will preside as chairman over the first meeting of the executive board of the Michigan State Teachers' assocatoin, of which he is president. At this meeting policies for the year will be discussed, including larger plans of legislation which in its completion will affect both the teaching body, the state school organ- ization and students. It is expected at this meeting to ar- range for the installation into the as- sociation of a permanent secretary, who will edit the quarterly teachers' magazine organized at the recent an- nual conference. The secretary would also take charge of other work in con- nection with the association, includ- ing the making out of six programs for the various sectional teachers' 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 (Continued on Page Ten) Lawton to Head Underwriters' Board EX4GOY. WHITM 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 slightly when adapated to the organ Mr. Moore finished with Bach's Toc- PROF. HENDERSON TO SPEAK SUNDAY AT XMAS SERVICES Prof. William D. Henderson, of the University Extension division, will give a short address at the University Christmas service at 7 o'clock Sunday night in Hill auditorium. The rest of the service will be devoted to the musical program of special Christmas significance arrang- ed by the School of Music. The mus- ical program will be announced later. OPERA TO SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT Increased Number Ticket Applications Makes Additional Performance Necessary CITIES ON ROUTE OF TRIP REPORT HEAVY SALES "Make It For Two", the 1922 Union opera, will appear for an additional performance at the Whitney theater Saturday night, following a decision of the directors of the production yes- terday. Applications for tickets have been turned in at the Whitney thea- ter steadily for the past few days, and, with practically all seats sold out for the remaining three shows, Union officials decided that applicants could only be accommodated by the addition of another performance. Tickets for the Saturday night show will go on sale at the Whitney theate. at 10 o'clock this morning. Advance sales ' in cities on the route of the opera point to the most PACIFIC PACT IS SUBSTITUTE FOR JAPAN ALLIANCE PRELIMINARY DRAFT OF FOUR POWER AGREEMENT HAS FOUR CLAUSES 9 NATIONS PLEDGE NOT TO INFRINGE ON CHINA Question of Limitation of Fortiilca- tions and Naval Bases Brought Up For First ime a F c d s J d i t d 0 0 x e f x t a a c 4 (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. successful trip ever had by gan production.

Chicago is already practically sold out and all seats for the single per- formance in Toledo have been dis- posed of, it is reported. The committee of Flint students that will assist alumni in that city with advertising and preliminary work is composed of David Martin, '25, chair- man; James Rice, '24, Donald John- son, '25; Robert P. Brown, '23, and John Pontius, '24. This committee is similar to 12 other organizations ap- pointed by the Union this week to as- sist in opera work during Christmas vacation. WOME N HOLD BUiLDING Raising money for a women's build- ing is the purpose of the bazaar which will open at 1 o'clock this afternoon in Barbour gymnasium. Every woman in the University has contributed to this bazaar and there will be on sale 2,000 articles including collar and cuff sets, painted book-ends, candle sticks, tiny pine trees, and everything appro- priate for Christmas gifts. At the candy booth there will be more than 800 pounds of home made candy which will be sold in the bulk or boxed for 75 cents a pound. The tea room will be open to serve lunch at 11:30 o'clock and will be open during bazaar hours except the din- ner hour, during which a church supper will be served both nights.

TO AWARD "M'S" NEXT WEDNESDAY Following an old custom in force be- fore the war, a gigantic mass meeting, will be held next Wednesday night in Hill auditorium. The awarding of football honors will be the main fea- ture of the evening but a wide va- riety of entertainment is being plan- ned for the occasion. Presentation of "M's", "AMA's", and "R's" to those members of the foot- ball squad and reserves who have won them during the past season, will be followed by a short snappy talk by Fred Lawton, '11, of Detroit, who wil also lead in the singing So far the plans are in an incomplete condition but among the 'means of entertain ment which will be provided are in cluded a movie and selections by th band. f -i 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. ,-I 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 Wednesday as guest of Prof. U. B. Phillips, of the history department.
