School Heads
To Gather For
Meeting Today
Meeting for the first time, the su-
perintendents and general school ad-
ministrators for the various Michigan
schools will hold a conference here
today. They plan to discuss educa-
tional problems in. their fields.
Maintenance costs and prevailng
rates for school buildings in the mat-
ters of lighting, water and gas; ed-
ucation of the public to look upon tax-,
es as a savings instead of as an as-
sessment; and methods of budget
making for school systems will be
some of the subjects discussed.
The superintendents will also raise
questionsnas to the methods to be
adopted in obtaining better trained I
teachers, the raising of standards of
life certificates, the value of the mus
ic memory contests, plans for making
the School of Education more service-
able, and the practicability of adopt-
ing a simple. and effective teaching
rating that might be uniform through-
out the state.
Prof. George Strayer of the New
York Teachers' college will be pres-
ent and will conduct a number of the,
meetings. Members from the faculty
of the School of Education will alsoI
attend and will assist in solving some
of the problems.

tomorrow. In return, they will hear
the British thesis, which, whilehnot
new indicates an outcropping of the!
old Anglo-French differences, forgot-
ten since the British resigned themsel-
ves to the occupation of the Ruhr.
Mr. MacDonald, it is understood, will
inform the Belgians that the British
government would like to see the
business-like beginning which the ex-
pert made, continued in carrying out
their recommendations, and therefore
will propose to the allies when the pro-
per time comes, that application of the
expert's proposal be taken out of the
hands of the reparations commission
as far as is possible and put into ef-
feet by a new allied agreement with
the Germans which could be obtained
by direct negotiations.

MILLKA TOIVEI.BOYS' MARCH I N
SPECHTOMORROW' L OYALTY PARADE
In regard to the present issue, the
so-called Poetry number, one hesitates
to say too much. There is a great
plethora of sentiment about the hills,
and the lost roads to the hills, and the
stern mountains, the blue sea and sky,
on and on it runs until everyone real-
ly is a trifle weary.
The majority of the versification is
from bad to worse, extremely conven-
tional, extremely tiresome; but there
are several contributions-and it is
ridiculous to hope for more than a
few significant pieces in any magazine
-which seem to create the required
lyric atmosphere that instinctively
satisfied one.
ea economy oI means. 7ore lan MS,
there seems to be a fairly obvious idea
to it and fortunately no hopeless
search for subtlety.
As for the rest.... T may be very
wrong in my opinion.- One contribu-
tion, however, one "Oblivion" seems
uniquely bad. To be fair, I can quote
the majority of the line-and writing
them as the prose that they are-
which run like this: "Smoke, blue and
brown, in a thin wavering thread, as-
cends from the burning tip of my cig-
arettee...'.Smoke, blue and brown,
rushes swiftly to the sky, and spreads
out into a transparent negation."

Literature" was the subject of Prof.I
Louis Cazmian's lecture yesterday af-
ternoon. Ile traced briefly the history
of tendencies in English literature
since Chaucer, giving the main char-'
acteristics of each age. "Intellect and
imagination form the whole field of
possibilities for artists," said Profes-
sor Cazmian. "An age of realism
always follows an age of romanticism.
"Fatigue is the mainspring of liter-'
ary change," according to Professor
Cazmian. "Literary tendencies do not
operate as a pendulum, but as a spir-
fal. Romanticism of one age is en a
different plane from romtnaicism of
another. A law of human nature is
involved in this fickleness, which is
the power of consciousness to accumu-
late past experience.
"The greatest writers of tpday are
characterized by a keeness of analysis,
concreteness, and directness of per-
ception. This is a regression toward
the systematic ideal of classicism,"
said Prof.' Cazamian.
