WHY CONVENET
The latest addition to the Univer-
sity's yearly program of conferences
is an annual convention of high school
student councils. Just why such a
meeting should be held has not been
explained. Probably it is another
means of fostering te relation be-
tween the state preparatory schools
and the University If such is the
case it is only a part of a decidedly1
worthy movement.
But evidence seems to point in an-
other direction. The conference is
supposed to benefit those who parti-
cipate, the purpose being the discus-
sion of mutual problems. And this
fact places it in a questionable cate-
gory. The delegates are mostly
youngsters-few of them are even
high school seniors. During the re-
cent convention some of them in a
formal business meeting played pranks
such as pulling chairs away when a
brother delegate was about to sit
down. And it is rumored that the
presiding officer had considerable
trouble getting a motion for adjourn-
ment.

Student councils in high school
amount to nothing. Their members
have neither the capacity nor the
authority to accomplish anything.
They are appointive and not elective.
They have no problems. Why should,
they convene?
CANADA'S ENVY
Accustomed, as we are, to hearing'
criticisms of prohibition in the United
States both from our own citizens and'
from foreign visitors, a statement that
our "dry" solution is the envy of
Canada comes as a distinct shock.
Yet such is the expressed belief of
George Warburton, secretary of the
Toronto Y. M. C. A., and he chose
Grand Rapids as a fitting locale for
his dissertation on the subject.
It is his fi'm conviction that within
25 years most of the existing agita-
tio i for repeal will have died down
and that prohibition will have become
a reality. He laments the fact that
Canada cannot take a similar step
since its federal government cannot
control or prevent the sale of liquors,
such being only within the scope of
the provincial governments. As a re-
sult the "whole country seemingly
could be dry today and then vote wet
tomorrow."
Mr. Warburton's whole view of the

prohibition has many defects, its ex-
ecution will be greatly helped by pub -
lic confidence in its ultimate success M U IC
