MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1)27 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CEN I U O LEISURE TIME IS OF VITAL INTEREST TO EDUCATOR-LITTLE THEY SHOULD KNOW STUDENTS' ACTIONS AT ALL TIMES . STATES PRESIDENT MILLER READS PAPER Rehitions etw en High Schools And Universties Discussed Before Schoolmasters' Club "The educators of the country, as the overseers of the dispensation' of the money of tax-payers, have the right to, and must in the near future, enter the lives of the students during their leisure hours as well as school hours," was the statement of Pres- ident Clarence Cook Little in his ad- dress on "The High School From the Viewpoint of the University" before the Michigan Schoolmasters' club last night in Hill auditorium. "Because of the complexity of ours civili7ation," he continued, "we cannot allow students whose 'parents are bearing only a small part of the cost of educating them, to be pirates in their leisure time. It is our right and duty to know what our students are going in the time outside of school, both after hours and during the sum- mer vacations. We must get away from the idea that schools are only a con- venience." Hight School Needs Iowin President Little then went on to outline some of the ways in which the high schools must advance to the place where they are meeting the re- quirements that the advance of the modern universities demand. He stressed the point that the universities must interest themselves in, and must consider more than, the "subject-mat- ter learning" of the prospective en- trant. "The ordinary high school," he said, "has developed no technique of 'measuring the attitude of the student. And it is this, more than those things that be has 'learned from booksthat will determine his achievements and his conduct in college." In following this line of thought the President said, "The high schools must stop trying to stuff 305 page chemistry books into the minds of stu- dents during the course of a single semester. Ratheiy they must give the student one or t{ o problems that give him a real understanding of the sub- ject and its practice and then spend the rest of the time teaching him how he may find out the things that he wants to know about the subject." Only through following this method he in- dicated, would the high schools be able to send to the universities stu- dents capable of being oriented. Ability Is Desired "The high schools must be able to send to us," President Little reiterat- ed, "students whose ability they can guarantee. And this guarantee they I will only be able to give us after they have developed some sound method I of finding whether or not the student has a superior attitude and superior ability." As a way of obtaining this understanding and this method of measurement, the President suggested that experimental high schools be es- I tabshmed in various parts of the state and that these experimental schools have the privilege of sending, admittedly as an experiment, students whose ability and attiutde they had tested to the Universiy. In attemtning to more evenly dis- tribute the faults of the present sys- tem, the President said that some of the blame for the overcrowding of the courses in the high schools was due to the demands of the universities. The I universities he said, are always cry- in, for more, more, more material in the courses. And for this reason the high schools have been raising their requiremeats.- "From these things." he said in clos- ing. "it. can be seen that the universi- tes should have more than a little finger in the pie-they shouldat least have a whole hand. And the high1 school and the college must go to- gether, progressing and regressing to- gether. and meeting the demands ofI education for the people." The other event of the evening wasI the reading of a paper by Edwin L. Mill-, superintendent of the schools of Detroit. The subject of the paper was "The University from the View- point of the High School." It dealt mainly with the faults of the univer- sities and suggested as a change that the colleges develop a new democrat- iration, that the drop the slogan "The devil take the hindermost" and adopt GARDEN SE TTING WILL BE SCHEME OF DECORATINS FOR MAY PART Y I More than a mile of specially pre- pared fireproof crepe paper has been ordered to cover the ceiling of Bar- bour gymnasium for the 16th annual Architect's May Party which will be held Friday, May 6. Small scale de- signs of the wall panels are being done by the committee in charge -of execution, and when finished will be transferred to the gymnasium, cover- ing the entire 3,000 square feet of wall space with huge colorfulspaint- ings of unusual flowers, plants, gar- den bugs and animals, elves, goblins, toad stools, and spiders. One of the features of the decora- tions for this year's May Party is the entrance to the ballroom. A large and massive tree trunk, whose sides are covered with brightly covered fungi has been devised, and entrancef to the dance floor will be gained by walking through a secret passage of colorful toad stools among the roots or the tree trunk. The whole decorative scheme of the gymnasium will be of such massive proportions as to make the dancers seem like small elves frolicking in a fairy garden. The ceiling of the gymnasium will be covered with vari-hued crepe pa- per, over which will be hung many streamers to give the effect of a cob-- web. Lights will be placed above the web, and underneath the large paint- ed flowers, among which huge spiders and snails are lprking. Winstead's colored orchestra which has been engaged to play for the af- fair, will have mushrooms for seats, and will play under a large truncated surface which will appear to take root in the floor.3 Seats of toad stools, garden snakes, spiders, plants, flower pots, and snails will be scattered throughout the gym- nasium for the convenience of the dancers when they wish to rest.

It was the opening home game for the Orange and a large crowd witnessed the Michigan victory. I Until th'e seventh inning the game was a pitcher's battle, with Dixon of Syracuse oposing Miller of Michigan. The count at this round stood 2 to 2. It I was then that the westerners opened up. Dixon, beginning to show signs ofI weakening, walked the first man and was replaced by Lambert. The next man went to first onaa fielder's error. Oosterbaan was then put out, but the next man hit the ball for two bases and knocked in a run. A walk, hit and an error filled the bags. Davis, midget Michigan catcher, clouted the ball far out in center for a home run and four runs. This was:the downfall of Syracuse as far as that game was concerned.

Eleven thousand square miles in the valley already are under water. Near South Bend on the Arkansas river and at Glasscock levee on theI vestern side of the Mississippi river, in northern Louisiana, the situation. was reported to be critical. Sections ! of the great bulwark were caving into the river where the water was spill- ing over the top The South Bend dike still was holding while the slough-off occurred on a section o, dikes nearby. No water poured through the levees because the cave-in occurred on the other side and did not cause the whole sItructure to fall. South Bend Break Feared . . A break at or near South Bendj would virtually complete the flooding of southeast Arkansas, already large- ly under water from Tesdleton break of the Arkansas levee system. Should the Glasscock levee let go, most of the lower section of Concor- dia and Catahoula parishes would be{ flooded. These lands lie between the! Mississippi and the Olds and Red riv- ers and already are under consider- able back waters.' Meanwhile, acute situations were re- ported in the sections of flooded south- eastern Arakansas country and the great inland sea which covers the fer- tile Mississippi delta, a few days ago the scene of preparation for spring farming operations. Lake Village, i Ark., reported that from 700 to '1,000 persons still were marooned in the lowlands near the city which is un-' der from three to fifteen feet of water. Most of the citizens remained living! on the lower floors of dwellings, whilej the rescue of the country folk was hurried.j In a recent magazine article Dr. Stearns expressed his confidence in the younger generation. Youth will respond if properly appealed to, he bleieves.: "The prevailing instincts of youth! are animal, which, if properly con-1 trolled, take place in the development of ragged character and virile man- hood" lie wrote. "The'0( nfune of the home, church, and an inherent belief in the purity of women are passe and not in force. Hence, ado- lescent youth is not being given a fair chance. "Movies, social life, and literature! are all against the normal develop-{ ment of youth. Their ideals are sneer-, ed at. And too many educators have been ignoring their boys and girls."
