MOORE 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 ANDl STABILITY AND CERTAINTY The present cabinet crisis in France WEI TYTEDRA M A seems likely to have at least one MATTEDM favorable aspect.
