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. El Jnete. * 3 "+ IXZO ON THE SPECIAL TAE'CDor EUREKA! At Minnesota they have found the system.

"The Athletic association is receiv- ing entirely too much criticism for a thoroughly dishonest system of ticket distribution," is the opinion of Oscar, wonder horse, an authority on inter- national politics.

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.
