Henry S. Pritqhett, president of
Carnegie Foundation for the ad-
enent of teaching, renews his as-
against the "over-diversity ofj
cts taught in elementary and sec-
ry schools" in his eighteenth an-
report of the Foundation. The.
rican high schools, he declares,
he refuse of mediocrity, softness

Sinto public schools and are ef-
ng colleges and universities.

on made by Prof. Raleigh Schor~-
principal of the University high

almost unnoticed by the students on
the same campus with them. There-
is no better illustration of this thanj
the Michigan Union.
Universities in all parts of the land
have sent delegations to inspect and,
get ideas on construction and manage-
ment of the Union; letters have been
written to gain information on it;
even iiotion pictures have been taken;
yet how many of our own number fiil
to appreciate its value in the stu-
dent community.t
The facilities of the Union are many,
such as the reading room, the lobby,
the dining-room, billiard room, and
bowling alley, and they are all open
to every student. It remains only for
him to realize his opportunity and the
advantage he has over the men of
many other colleges. But not enough
seem to understand this very fact.
For clean, reasonable service, the
tap room is -not to be outdone in any
college town in the country. The foodf
is varied and wholesome. No less can
be said of the dining-room on the main
floor. This department, perhaps more
than any other, is overlooked in the
Union.
We may be mistaken but we have a
suspecion that that dining-room has
never been really "broken in." Student
shy away from it as something .too dig-
nified and stiff. To out knowledge there
has never been a really light-hearted
student meal eaten there: The atmos-
phere is cold and rather repressive
to spirited students.
If sueh a thing could be devised, We
should think some sort of a big party
ought to be staged in that room, if it
was only a class banquet, just to kind
of get the natives used to it.
That is another place where the
student can take further advantage
of the Union's facilities to the mutual
advantage, we believe, of himself and
the institution. There are a lot of

Dear Sir:
I wish through you colyum to lodge
formal protest against the Jay who
sits behind us in class and spends his
wind on telling all those who sit in
his immediate vaccinity about the'
keen .Folley7' girls he took to the
Oriole Terrace in Dt., what a hit he
and "Gawge" made with said yows, etc.r
etc. etc. Before this one gets cold he
insists on reading a COPY of a wire
rec'd in reply to an invite which states
gushingly that "-we would be de-
lighted, thrilled, etc. to get out with
such a fine pair of colledge boys."
OH ME Oh My oh me ormy ohmy
thank the powers that am' that such
klassy kolledge kids don't grow wild
in every alley.

BLA#CK SHEEP
(With aologies to "Back Oxen")
Ahe focks and lcks of suent
sheep
Are straggling through the Arc.
They limp along with faces sage,
In sport clothes or in gown;
They open up the notebook page
And write the lectures down. j
To left to right, the stalls are kept--
The sheep take every seat;
And girls are sheep also-except
They have a shiller bleat.
PATRIOTISM OR JONU;S
What is the meaning of Patriotism
and Loyalty to-day. Have we pre-
served the lpure Ideals for which these
two terms stand? Have they the same
importance to us as they did formerly?'
Not many years ago, Loyalty and
Patriotism to one's country meant,-
voluntary unconditional and unqual-
ified service in time of war. True
Loyalty and true Patriotism do not
have as their condition a money re-
ward. No true Patriot, and no true
Soldier fight fox' their country and
the Ideals for which it stands, on
condition that they receive a lump of
money.
Today, it appearsthat these Ideals
of a true Patriot have degenerated.j
Service to one's country no longer
means voluntary unconditional and
unqualified sacrifice. To-day, service
to one's country is considered as a
business proposition. The idol of gold
is placed above the god of Loyalty and
Patriotism. Men no longer give their
services voluntarily and without con-
ditions, as did the patriot of old. Now,
they serve their country with the
hope of getting paid for doing so. In
these days, a nation's Ideals are inea-
sured in terms of money. Men enter
the service, not to fight for, the Ideals
for which their country stands, but
for Bonuses.
Are we going to qualify the mean-
ing of Patriotism with the suffix
h-111.
a magazine, we wonder if the advertis-
ing game is not, after all, the niche
in this busy world for a poetic soul-
like our own. Very possibly it is.

ritchett gives as reasons for
diocrity a list that runs quite
with the causes Professor

.ndation, in dealing with the
1 cause, puts his words to the'
hat the cost of public school

An athlete must keep up his schol-
astic standing if he is to continue his
athletic career. This fact adds an add-
ed incentive to study and literally
drives a student on who might other-
wise be content to mnerely slip through.'
It is a signnficant fact, telling a good
deal about scholastic standing of ath-
letes in this university, that only two
of the entire number were dropped
because of failure.
Another good result is that an ath-
lete must carefully systematise his
time. The haphazard method of study-
ing which many students follow, which-
may be all right for those who have
plenty of time, would never do for the
athlete who must carefully husband
his time. This fact, which necessi-
tates a system, gives his character
precision and has a very benificial re-
sult in after life.
There are perhaps a good many
more reasons that could be cited
both for and against athletics but
athletic competition is an established
and tried institution that could not
be done away with in universities.

We have just read Mr. Henderson's

discussed yesterday morning. We
don't intend to take issue with him
now, but on Monday morning at nine

more points than he thinks.

"HELENA'S HUSBAND" by PhilipI
Moeller, the companion play of "Aria
Ida Capo" in the program to be pre-
sented by Masques Wednesday, March

excellent contrast to the bitter, if
beautiful, irony of the first number.
It is really little more than frank
burlesque in the broadest sense. The
story itself resolves about Helen of
Troy and the Trojian wars, but every
opportunity is taken to bring in the
most modern satire on current events,
