the collegestudent taking an "active

the many ,problems confronting they

"No institution or government", he
declared, "should be judged in the

of one person teaching another any-

is an active affair, and the only way

Washington, Dec. 9.--A semi-official!
declaration of world policy for Japan
and a general discussion of conditions
in the Near East, Russia, Australia,
Greece and Italy marked the closing!
sessions here today of the lecturer's
conference on public opinion and
world peace held under the auspices
of the international Lyceum and
Chatauqua association.
Sado Sabuir, charge d'affaires of,
the Japanese embassy, told the con-j
Terence that within three years pub-
ic o'Anon in this country had shifted
from a national to an international
-oint of view.
This change in public opinon lie de-f
clared had enabled the Japanese gov-
ernment - to carry out its formal
pledges "more quickly than we had
,ieped."
The. Near East situation was pre-
sented by Dr. Herbert Adams Gib-!
bans, a war correspondent who re-
urned recently from the Grecian-
'Turkish front. Arguing that the time
sad come fortthe United States tox ex-
ert its moral leadership in the world,
Dr. Gibbons said that until the "Near
Eastern question was settled there
would be no real peace in the world."

true that under-graduates are over-J
critical of many phases of modern
life, but this very interest is a favor-E
able sign and marks a great advance
over the apathy and indifference of'
the past."
He also states that he Iitelieves
the "highly organized" social life of
the college to be responsible for so
many students falling into "habits of
luxury, pleasure seeking and soft-
ness," and that the constant "whirl of
social functions must be counteract-
ed if the student is to get the larger
things from college life"
REFRETRATION PS
RESULT Of CONFERENCE,
Definite plans for reforestratin of
the cut-over lands of the state will
be introduced in the approaching ses-
sion of the legislature, as a result of
the conference held last Tuesday at
Lansing at which some of the most
prominent forestry metn of the state
attended. P. S. Lovejoy, former pro-
fessor of forestry in the University of
Michigan, presided.
The program provides for a survey
of forest lands to obtain accurate in-
I formation as to the condition of for-
ests and cut-over lands of the state.
Action will be taken to revamp the
present obsolete system of fire protec-
tion. Without ample fire protectioni
! no progress can be made in the proc-
