Weinman Margaret Smith Sidney Wilson ed improvements continually foisted' upon our work-a-day world, there occasionally stands out a contemplat- ed program of visible merit calling for an honest furtherance of its plans and aims. In the recent meeting of leading educators of the United States, held in Chicago, to organize an American Association for Adult Education,1 which will attempt to promote and improve adult education in the United States, the formulation of an adequate national adult education program has secured for itself a position of pri- mary importance in the field of educa- tion. An intensive, nation-wide campaign for improved adult educational meth- ods has' undoubted value because of its consolidation of previously or- ganized local systems attempting adult education in an unorganized and unsystematic way. Heretofore, adult study groups, whether within or without regular educational institutions, have sought knowledge through ill-equipped and dubiously efficient means, -- means which the tentative proposal of the association will attempt to improve and amplify with an efficiently or- ganized, cooperative, national pro- gram. In addition to causing response of public interest, the Adult Educational association will be charged with vast responsibilities in bringing education to a host of adults who have been pre- viously either unable to acquire such, or who have realized the minimum in value from the sporadically developed adult educational study groups now in existence. The importance of sucn a national organization in disseminating signifi- cant information concerning adult education, aims, and methods of work; conducting a continuous research of work being done in this field, and publishing from time to time the re- sults of such research; and cooperat- ing with individuals and organizations engaged in educational work of this nature in the task of securing books and instructors cannot be over-est- mated in considering any phase of adult educational improvement and since this national consolidation of adult educational methods must even- tually take place, the initial attempts at unification on a national program offer a promising outlook on the for- mation of adult study groups in the future.

HONORABLE GENTLEMEN To the Editor: In connection with the present dis- cussion of the Honor System, there is a point which I desire to empha- size. I believe that a highly developed sense of honor should be one of the results of a college education. A man goes to college and spends several of the best years of his life in acquiring a liberal education. He has a right to expect that those years will give him certain returns--a wid- ened horizon, a certain measure of mental discipline, a genuine fellow- ship with kindred people, .a quickened intellectual interest, and a gentle- man's sense of honor. WITH APOLOGZES TO T1IE INTRODUCING .Julius Sinkswiltcler, Chiropodist. 31r. Sinkswiltcher was born July 4th, 1882, near Alba, Mich. He at- tended the only school in that district' and graduated after the building was burned down in 1912. Since then he has attended a school of chiropody in Saline, fought through the late War as chiropodist to the 32nd Cavalry di- vision and later held the same posi- tion with the 116th Flying corps. When released from the service in 1917, Mr. Sinkswiltcher held the posi- tion of Corporal. He enlisted as a Major-General. After the war, he settled in Saline and practiced his profession, until he became so perfect at it that he thought he could actually begin to work on patients. So he moved to Ann Arbor, where he set up his office over local undertaking parlors in which place he has remained ever since. In 1921 Mr. Sinkswiltcher mar- ried Miss Ethelda Grossschwantz, of Scio, for love and settled down with her in his home built specially for the purpose, on Salem Road. Mr. Sinks- wiltcher will be survived by sixty five children from earlier marriages, as well as his three sons, Samuel, Lemuel, Emuel. Mr. Sinkswiltcher is a member of the local Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions Clubs, as well as the Chamber of Com- merce, Elks, Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Columbus, Royal Order o Mooses, American Legion, and the Baptist Guild. He is the author of a history of chiropody entitled "Great Feats of Human History" and many magazine articles which have never been published. * * * GREAT FEMiNINE REVOLT UNEARTHED BY HISTORIAN Ann Arbor, U. S. A., The Earth; (Special to Rolls)-A great revolt of tle feminine students of the ancient university once located here was dis- covered today by Rolls' Own Expedi- tion. Taking place in 1926 at Easter time, this revolution threatened for a while to depopulate all' the sorority houses and dormitories of the campus. Wo- men marched through the streets car- rying banners urging insurrection against the established order and any- thing else that sounded important. The Ann Arbor police finally man- aged to put down the revolt, but not without aid of the efficient police force of Chicago. For a while it look- ed like the movement would spread to Ypsi and take in all the State Nor- mal girls, but when it came to the time for the revolt there, it was found that all the girls were on dates, and undisposed to participate. President Little and Coach Yost pleaded in vain with the girls of Ann Arbor, but they were too furious to be stopped until their anger had been spent. The cause of the uprising was stat- ed in the papers as simply the snow storm that swept the country on Easter Sunday. Our research could discover no reason why they should be so furious at such a small thing as another storm. NOTE: Search of ancient histories in the Rolls' library brings to light reference and Trumors of an odd cus- tom which may have been in general practice at this time. The ancient documents refer to "donning a new lid" and "sporting spring finery," and it is possible that the ancient custom had something to do with the revolt, although this cannot be confirmed as we go to press. What exactly was done in these ceremonies is unknown. -Timothy Hay.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS A review, by Vincent Wall. More slapstick and horseplay, this time in the shape of a mad French farce with some real comedy-here and there-and many mon Dieu's and diables run off at double time. This was amusing, with clever lines, and decidedly superior to the usual play of this type. The possibilities were meager, but it was well adapted and given an intelligent interpretation both by the actors themselves, and the director as well. Here it is: A lawyer-Thurston Thieme as the shyster and MarieI Burt as his wife, the Goode Guilemette both of them with a complex for pet- ty thievery; a mercenary drapier, and a hopeless clod of a shepherd-not the piping kind-and the judge, wig, curls and all. The cast was well chosen, and although the action dragged here and there, the effect was surprisingly good. Thurston Thieme and Marie Burt easily dominated the play and not only showed themselves to be actors of ability, but contributed a more significant factor in the fact that their pronunciation was natural clear-cut and easily understood. Paul Schoenfeld as the drapier, it is true,I had lines to say, but in his anxiety al- most lost them. The second piece, "Les Deux Sourds" was intended to be of the same type, but the point was missed. Here, too, there was comedy, but it was comedy of situation and the actors here, with the exception of Samuel Bonell, con- sistently endeavored to make the most of their lines, and as a result the ac- tion was retarded almost to the point of boredom. The production lacked the tech- nique both in acting and in the gen- eral mechanics of the stage that char- acterized "Maitre Pathelin," and con- tained that which the former piece succeeded in loosing-the brand ofE the amateur production.

KOYKKA "A FOeagldepartment of edu- cation means Federal control of educational affairs. There is scarcely an activity of body or mind but is either already, or pro- posed to be, brought under the surveillance of the government through some bureau. Bureau- cratic control is bad at best. ButI it is peculiarly vicious when it takes over and places under na- tional control those things which ought to remain with the State and that is its inevitable tendency. It is the creeping paralysis of democracy."-Senator Borah. FREE SPEECH AND BANS At every university there always persists a radical group of students who are sufficiently conceited to be- lieve that they are blessed with ideas. and opinions that deserve audience. These Thinkers, as they choose to term themselves, claim that they have, a message that should be couveyed. toI the student body. Aside from the fact that these in-i dividuals have learned to think for themselves, nothing favorable can :a"illy be said in their behalf. They are influenced by a superiority com- plex, a fanatic egotism, that has in- stilled in them an earnest faith in the text they preach. Mencken-wise they hurl the blatant, scathingly denounc- ing gospel of the Intelligentsia at bored, book-weary student bodies that are interested not a bit. But what makes matters worse is the attitude assumed by some uni-' ersity officials who insist on placing bans on these "radicals" whenever they show signs' of attempting to stir up the student body over their idealis- tic visions. Just as .soon as restric- tions are placed upon- these Thinkers, their censored "messages" attain a false dignity and prominence that be- li, their importance. . When critics term some dramatic vehicle a "flop," when the vigilant eye of the law places a musical com- edy on the black-list because of sug- g9stive lines or noticable lack of ap- parel, the box-office sales will show a decided increase. When a book is suppressed, those copies that have "THE MASTER BUILDER" A review, by William Lucas. It was, I think, George Nathan who some years ago suggested Eva Le Gal- lienne as the perfect Hilda Wangel which is of considerable significance in view of the fine and sympathetic performance which this talented young actress is-giving in "The Mas- ter Builder." "The Master Biulder" is not quite like any other play in the repertoire of the modern theatre not excluding those by the same author. It is Ibsen, and only Ibsen. Retospective beyond the usual limits of the drama, it is pervaded by vague, almost mysterious atmosphere,-due perhaps to the al- most irrevalent appearance of extern- al events-for Ibsen is concerned purely with the psychological. ,Essentially "The Master Builder is the history of a sickly conscience, that of Halvard Solness, in contrast to, and drawn out by, a robust con- science typifying the spirit of Hilda Wangel. In this respect the play seems to consist of a long dialogue between Solness and Hilda. The graduations, retardations, accelera- tions of Solness' self revealment are managed with the subtlest art, so as to keep the interest of the spectator ever on the stretch. We so often find critics stressing the symbolical, or al- leged symbolical, nature of this drama, that it is interesting to find Miss Le Gallienne has viewed the matter in a different light. In her performance, we find noth- ing in the play which may not be explained on a natural or psy- chological plane; nothing which re- quires a symbolic interpretation to make it comprehensible. That the play is full symbolism, we have Ibsen's own word for, but Miss Le Galliene, who is responsible for the direction of the performance, subdues these symbols to a sort of harmonious undertone, subservient to the moving spirit of the drama, the self reveal- ment of Halvard Solness. Miss Le Gallienne's Hilda is a characterization not soon to be forgotten by those that are privileged to witness it. Her per- formance in the third act during that magnificent scene where she watches Solness climb the tower of the new home only to fall to his death, is one .of extraordinary power and beauty. Egon Brecher gives an impelling characterization of The Master Build- er, Solness, and Beatrice Terry is commendable as Mrs. Solness. This is a production which cannot well be ignored by those who care for, what is truly fine in the theatre. Children had their annual egg- rolling contest on the White House lawn Easter.

In learn, between twenty and five hun- trade, marriage, diplomacy and even armed combat honor plays a large part. To turn people out of a great university without fostering and de- veloping their sense of honor is to cheat them out of their birthright. An Honor System can and will work. Some of us who have had act- ual experience with it know it can be done. I am reliably informed that at the state university at Berkeley, California, it is a success.
