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 superficiality" which have also Sinto public schools and are ef- ng colleges and universities. is statement comes after the as- on made by Prof. Raleigh Schor~- principal of the University high Al, recently that "High school ods of today are mere guesses. school budgets are so limited the instructorsare forced to hold es 32 hours a week in additionI eeping up with their community s so that they have no time to k the problems of educational 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 OASTE .ROLL LOUIS xIv SAYS; .L' .it 'etm -zf- {f I i S COM1PLAI NT 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.

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. Mr. Jason Cowles. CAMPUS OPINION ._ . I s - J " ' ' i i G" rciM .
