IE c time special respect and attention has been payed to the mothers of the land. May 11 has become traditional in this very short time as being one of the most cherished of our hoildays. And that is as it should be. Today, many mothers of Michigan men and women are visitors in Ann Arbor. Fortunate indeed are the sons and da~ghters whose mothers have been able to come to tlie university in order tha't Mother's Day may be more properly -and rightly celebrated. Tot those who have been less fortunate inI that their mothers were unable to actually participate because of the great distances separating the univer- sity and the home, or because of oth- er reasons, there can come some glad- ness in knowing that mother awaits with a delight a certain word of love' from her son or daughter. The obli- gation rests with those away from homhe, and no individual who professes to be an obedient child should let this day pass by without sending home a message of cheer and good will, if he' has not already done so. Here in the midst of all the bustle and noise of college life we are so apt to forget, and perhaps not intention- ally so, those who are at home. We take for granted so many things in re- [erence to parental love because we pj~ so young and inexperienced; be- -ame we do uot reaLize. nor shall we ever fully realize until we ourselves tave become parents, the unusual diffi- clties and i sponsibilities that par- enthood entails. It is by far the great- sst task in the World, and requires the greatest amount of love and co-oper- iticn from all the members of the fam- ily in ord;er to insure the fullest imount of success. And these being fully essential, it follows that whether -t home or away from home, it is very nec ry tlat the son or daught- l keep in con.stant touch with' the I sand tihat has guided him or her hrough some of the most testing years. of one's existence.

Canada is justified in her course. HALF-BAKED Cameron Beck, personnel director of the New York stock exchange, re- cently declared, "This country has Sentirely too many half-baked steno- graphers, half-baked plumbers, half- baked carpenters, and half-baked everything." The term "half-baked" should not be applied to our steno-! graphers, plumbers, carpenters, in the sense that they do not know their' profession. They may be called half- baked because they know nothing of the problems of life. Indeed, the greater part of humanity may be! called half-baked for this reason, at least, those who have not thoroughly learned the problems of life through experience. They are half-baked be- cause, having learned little through experience, and indeed having been taught comparatively nothing of life, they know nothing of it. The director's words hold more' truth in them than is capable of re-! alization. They express, at once, a problem that is arising in our civiliz- ation and a clue to the solution. Beck declares thatsthe knowledge of the facts of life should be taught to high school students "to enable theta to guard against the pitfalls of vice and, crime." Can this indeed be a clue to the solution of the problem? Today, stu- dents graduate from high school with a more or less sunerficial knowledge of Latin and Algebra. They embark upon the tasks of life equipped only with this more or less artificial know- ledge which can give them compar- atively small aid in solving the pro- blems of life. Therefore, it is thatI their education is sadly defective. According to supporters of Mr. E'DITORIAL Now that the campus grass is once more becoming green and luxuriant, it is high time that the annual plea he made for students to keep off of it. It may seem silly to remind' the student body of this matter every year, but since facts remain that every year the students need to be reminded. What the students do not realize is this: that while it will do no harm for one student to "cut across" a corner, when 10,000 students do the same thing, the grass cannot grow. If each student would get over the idea that he is the only one, and that it does not matter what he does, the campus grass would be in much better condition, and much worthier of Michigan, than it is now. Just watch yourself on thisI FROM THE G C D! Perhaps you observed, and perhaps you didn't, the story in the Daily of May 8, that purported to be an in- terview with one G. F. Kasser, of the Buildings and Grounds depart- ment. Mr. Kasser rashly aired his views on the annual custom of haul- ing a class flag to the top of the Uni- versity flag pole, forgetting himself so far as, to condemn the practice utterly. The Daily reporter quoted him as follows: "In addition to endangering a hu- man life everytime a man is sent to climb the pole it is exceedingly un- patriotic, for during a week or so the flag of the United States is not in its accustomed proper place. This gives a bad appearance to the cam- pus and impresses visitors unfavor- ably." The last sentence in the story is pretty good, too: "Better and more manly things are expected from stu- dents, he stated." ild regh basis. for all strength, p* OF YOURS i lumber Il ir Lumi pany Phone 3 f O celngraLIe 1u11 ORm 111s seUson 1 nearly past.

Every year it becomes nmore and more impossible for productions to tour with any show of profit at all except in a few metropolitan centers. As a result the smaller towns that used to boast of a flourishing "opera- house" and the country's greatest act-, ors, now are absolutely destitute or gobbled up by the plague-like movies. It is significant, therefore, that Mr. McIntyre was able to present "The Mikado," "Zander, the Great," "The Greenwich Follies"-very beautiful, I was told, in its way-"Kempy," and "Lightnin'," to name only a few. Of them all, "Zander, the Great," of course, was the superior, although it ......--mwan We know it whether you do zw not. rli crovds p atr on - azing t e Arcae come be- rause they Vet finestfod at lowest prices in town!
