SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1926
Night Editor-COURTLAND SMITH
TIE ENLIQJjENED AGE
-Humanity in general seems -tq be
perfectly astounded at its own con-
summa ielligence. One e' hear
any day discussions of the unenlight-
ened superstition of the ages that
preceded us; of their belief in signs;
of their fanaticism; and then we, with
an air of supercilious superiority, turn
away and thank God and our own
supreme intelligence that we are bet-
ter than they.
Let us transplant the scene three
hundred years in the future. The scene
is a history class studying the darl
ages of 1926 or thereabouits. After
being shocked at Hr immorality, our
dishonesty, our poor governments, our
irrationality, and our neglected edu-
cational systems, the professor cites
as the crowing disgrace to our good
name the mist of superstitiop\Which
surrounded our . intelllgent ag.
He produces irrefutable evidenbe from
our daily newspapers to the effect that
great colonies of our society gathered,
and with the blind belief that they
were following, some immortal deity,
gave up their property, their beings,
and their very wills to this fakir. He
then would proceed to cite other in-
stances of our unenlightenment, tell-
ing his class how we had theosophists
and spiritualists; and the class would
laugh in Iusty utbursts at such an
unbelievable- ignojane. .
"If there wak any one thing more
than all others that led to the decay
of this promising civilization which
existed in 1926 it was the almost di-.
vine superstition of the people of that
age," the professor concludes; and
with a shuffle of>feet the class hurries
out to send its ticket applications for
the great intercollegiate debate con-
test.
This mythical professor would be
wrong, of course, as professors so
often are. For superstition is not the+
leading cause for our decay; it is
merely ,the cause that will be mosta
fully exposed by the present docu-;
ments for the benefit of the future,
scholars. Nevertheless, the statement
is true; we are in an age of super-
stition. If this era is less so than
some preceding stage it does not show;
our enlightenment, It merely shows1
their immense backwardness. Insti-
tutions such as the House of David;
have no excuse for existence, evenf
though they are good commercialI
will aid in throwing light on the story1
of our country, because of lack of
knowledge of the value of such evi-
dence and because much of it is not
in the proper hands.
The American Historical association
is conducting a drive to increase its
endowment from $50,000 to$100,000
so that it may continue to enlarge its
national services and preserve what
material it can obtain. The association
proposes to use its increased endow-
ment for:
"A wider dissemination of historical
information and better' teaching of
history in the schools.
"The conservation of historical
manuscripts, including the public rec-
ords of our nation and of the individ-
ual states.
"Preservation through publications
of important historical manuscripts.
"Grants to scholars for the expenses
of research essential to the great con-
tributions of history to human knowl
edge.
"Expert service to the government, I
"Cooperative research in te his,
torical backgrounds of such problems
as those of international relations,
of American business, and of agri-
culture and rural life."
. It is truly a worthy institution
which is doing service to the country
and to the people, and all those who
have the opportunity should feel
proud to contribute.
SAVE THE FORESTS
Preservation of our forests and
the dire results that will follow the
depletion of our wooded lands, have
been brought to the attention of the
Americans so much since te inaug-
uration of the policy of conservation
by Theodore Roosevelt that few peo-
ple now think of it in the serious light
that the situation demands.
It is a subject very intimate to the
everyday life of every citizen-some-
thing that has to do with the sustain-
ing of an important group of indus-
tries which give support to more than
six per cent of the population of the
country. It involves the productive
use of nearly one-third of the land and
many sections of the country are al-
ready seriously impoverished and have
been set back many years in their
industrial development because of the
destruction of their chief resource,
Further, at present, scarcity and high
prices of certain classes of raw ma-
terial are seriously affecting indus-
tries and consumers.
It has been said that unless some
attempt at conservation is made, that
within ten years there will not be
enough wood pulp to furnish paper
for all the newspapers in the country.
That is expressing a serious situation
in rather startling fashion, but. t Is
just as true as the less dramatic evils
that are measurably felt in flood
damage, irregularity of water flow,
and increased erosion.
The crisis that arose when it was
discovered during the late war that
America was suffering from lack of
timber should be a warning. The fate
of ,countries like Japan is a constant
reminder. Desolate areas in upper
Michigan exist as a frightful example.
And yet America takes but passive
heed of the calamity. There is' but
one solution to the problem and that
is a careful and systematic policy of
conservation, including the preserva
tion of already standing trees and
yearlings, and the replanting of cut-
over areas.
HOW I DISTRIBUTE TICKETS
(This interview was secured from
Jerry Milletson, ticket distributor at
Arizona School of Education. ROLLS
is thankful that no such situation ex,
ists here.-Editor's Note.)
"I would like nothing better than
to give every student a half dozen
seats on the fifty yard line, but speak-
ing frankly, the public must be
served," said Mr. Milletson.
When the question was pressed he
said, "Well, all there is to it is that
I collect all the tickets that are re-
turned by alumni because of the seats
not being in view of the playng field,
and pass them out to students. That'
why students can't get their tickets
until so near game time. Also, 1
sometimes don't have enough iickets
returned to supply all the students."
STUDENT IIOMECOMIIING DAY
Although students cannot I)e acom.
modated at all of the games next year
in the new stadium, there wii be one
great homecoming day ' when they
again may see their team in action.
The Athletic association feels that
students are interested in rootball
and therefore has set aside the 1. S.
C. game, and will guaiantee each stu-
dent one seat.
WHAT- NO TELESCOPES?
One proposed remedy for the stu-
dent ticket situation fell through when
it was found that the telescopes pro-
vided by the astronomy department
for use at the games next year had
several defects:
1. They were not equipped to pene,
trate the obstruction of feathers in
ladies' hats.
2. They had no periscope attach-,
ment to look around the corner o
sections of the stadium.
3. You couldn't see through them.

IXZO ON THE SPECIAL
TAE'CDor
EUREKA!
At Minnesota they have found the
system. For the Michigan 9Ze they
sold 2,000 tickets for steam heated
seats on top of the snow banks piled
in the corners of the stadium when
the field was cleared off.

THE JUIILIR) iMU~Sl(AL
Tl* -Juilliard Musical Foundation
has cffered its hospitality to the Na-
tional Association of Schools ofA Mu-
sic and Allied Arts which will hold
its third annual meeting in New York
City on Friday, November 23. The pro-
gram will consist of an informal
dinner and business meeting to be
held Friday evening in the rooms of
the Beethoven club. At this time
there will be several speeches by
members of the club on the work that
is being accomplished, Earl V. Moore,
head of the School of Music of the
University of Michigan having been
invited to speak on the subject of "In-
dependence of Schools." Mr. Moore
is also a member of the Committee on
Curricula which will present a detail-
ed report concerning th coiiuisesr ye-
quired for certificates and musical
degrees.
This standardizing of the setting
of definite national standards for
degrees of scholarship has been
a need which has not yet been
recognized by any organization
except the Juilliard Foundation which
is sponsoring thee work, and the Na-
tional Association of Schools of Mu-
sic which has finally brought about
this resolution. The setting of re-
quirements for schools entering the
organization will also be discussed,
and some policy in this matter will
probably be definitely outlined.
All of this brings to mind the work
that the Juilliard Foundation has been
I accomplishing since its organization.
There have been a series of valuable
scholarships awarded to indigent mu-
sic studentss, while departments of
variom.s music schools throughout the
country have also recveived financial
aid, while a major activity has been
the foundation of the Juilliard Grad-
uate School of Music on Last Fifty-
second street, Nw York.
