Will Revise Enforcement Organization Asserting that a practitioner of medicine must have both a compre- hensive knowledge of the sciences and a wide knowledge of human beings, because "there is no group! that gets so close to human beings," Dean Hugh Cabot of the Medical school, speaking on "Medicine, a Pro- Ifession," outlined the requisites, re-j sponsibilities, duties, and possibili- ties of medicine as a profession. Of the two types of knowledge that a doctor must possess, the acciuaint- anceship with man apart from the workings of his body.-or that branch of knowledge which is not reducible to a science,---is the more fundamental. "Of course it is im- portant to know what disease the man has, but it is more important to know what man the disease has," Dean ! Cabot said, emphasizing the point that 'diseases react differently on individ- uaIs. In answering thec question of "what "I don't think that any of us are here in an altruistic mood,, however," he continued, "and to most of us there! comes a distinct feeling that we want1 something for our service, and that generally is expressed in terms of money. But what we really want arei abiding satisfactions, things that stick. One gets it out of any work well done, but there is no field in which this is more true than in medi- cine." Finally, there is the opportunity for constructive idealism the speaker concluded. "To me, ideals are posi- tive, concrete things; things that are always with you, always ahead of you. Friends may go, success may desert, you, your children may grow up and leave you, but ideals are always with you, a goal to which you can con- stantly strive and by which you can measure your success." MARKET SLUMP IV D:AV T"rII READ GOOD BOOKS, IS ADVICE TO H0110IGH HENDERSON ADVOCATES BOOKS AS SOURCE OF EDUCATION AND RECREATION AWARD CUPS TODAY Yost, Scott, and Campbell Address State Journalists As Annual Conventlon Opens Deriving his title, "The Cloak and the Book," from a biblical text, Prof. W. D. Henderson, director of the Uni- versity extension service, urged the delegates to the high school editors convention at their banquet last night at the Union to 'read proper books as a source of education. After first explaining the "Cloak" as representing material luxury, Pro- fessor Henderson stated, "a reader of books and a thinker thereon is edu- cated. Read three types of books: books of your profession, books for your information, and books for your recreation." He emphasized that the order of life is changing, and that to live properly one must read modern as well as older books. Tells Requisite of Book Professor Henderson ae dthe three requisites for "a book that will live" as: good style, treatment of the constant and the vital, and trueness to human nature. This morning at 9 o'clock the jour- nalists will assemble to hear two editors talk, and then continue with group discussions until noon. On the afternoon program is a lecture, a tour of the campus, and tea for the women deleghtes at the Betsy Barbour dormi- tory. A business meeting at 4;15 o'clock will conclude the convention. At this time cups will be awarded to the winning publications and the offi- cers for the coming year will be elected. The luncheon yesterday noon at which Prof. John L. Brumm was toastmaster opened the convention. Dean John R. Effinger, of the literary college, gave the initial welcome to the members of the association. In- stead of giving the keys of the yni- versity, Dean Effinger stated, the doors would be left unlocked. He stressed a good general and cultural education as the best foundation for any profession, especially for journal- ism. "The technical part of journal- ism is easily learned," he added, "and the important thing in writing is what message you have to convey rather than the manner in which you con- vey it." Prof. F. N. Scott, head of tre rhetoric department, gave the hist6ry of journalism in the University, and personal incidents of his first at- tempts at writing. After the luncheon, in the first assembly, Professor Brumm talked on "Leadership." He stated that a man is educated when he is 'able to recognize human worth on sight. Mayor Welcomes Delegates The banquet last night was opened by a welcome from the city by Mayor Robert A. Campbell, treasurer of the University. The speakers were intro- duced by Toastmaster Shirley W, Smith, secretary of the University. William Diener, '26, president of Sig- ma Delta Chi further welcomed the delegates. Director Fielding H. Yost gave a review of Michigan's athletic per- formances in the last few years, and commented on the widespread Michi- gan spirit he found while traveling. The Michiga athletic plant is most complete from all points of view, the coach said. The two journalists who willgive the principal talks this morning, are both former Michigan students. Lee A. White, '10, of the Detroit News, is speaking on "Yesterday and Today in High School Publications," and V. V. McNitt, ex-'04, will talk on "Rewards in Journalism.
