Finch commissions and reparations commis- sions have played a large part in the reconstruction of the structure of the new republic and the personnel and the members of ' these commissions have been, to a large extent, from this country. According to the recent report by Ambassador Schurman who has re- turned to this country for the holi- days, Germany is fast coming to a realization of the place thatwas held by that country before the war. By the exercise of great industry and a utili- zation of all of the ideas of the for- eign countries who aided in the work of reconstruction, the new Republic has been enabled to reach a semblance of the manufacturing place which it held before the war. The fact that Germany holds this place is of great importance to the rest of the world. Prejudice has long ago been dispelled and that fact that this country is now able to take its place in the commerce of the world should occasion great regard for her powers of recuperation. In addition there is the fact that having one sick nation in the world naturally and effi- ciently hampers the actions and the trade of all of the rest of the coun- tries. That all of the nations occupy the place to which their diligence and their industry entitle them, is the ideal of a civilized world. CANADIAN WORKMENj With the application of the new law prohibiting residents of Canada from entering the United States to work unless they possess visas, the difficul- ties at the various points of entry, in Detroit, Niagara Falls, and Vermont were not nearly as great as were ex- pected. More than 500 persons were detained, to be sure, but they had failed to comply with the law in ad- vance, and the delay was the penalty they paid. On the whole, however, the very ease with which it worked shows that the new law is quite unnecessary,' since the workmen from Canada will obtain their visas and enter as before.. The first day showed that the act will not reduce the number of Canadian workmen in the least, and the first day should also show that the United States will waste considerbale money in the end in enforcing the regulation. If the law fails to accomplish any- thing more than a check, and if it is going to require the services of large forces of officers for enforcement, it seems on the-whole as though it might quite well be eliminated from the I books.

No action was expected. A RESOLUTION ASING 1 PROTECTION FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Whereas: Kenneth Withrow, official student protector, having engaged in a perfect flop is no longer capable of exercising the I duties of University motor cop; 1 And whereas: Every student in the University is in dire need of such protection as he af- forded; (( And whereas: It is the duty of the University to provide ade- quate protection for the students enrolled therein; Therefore, Le it Resolved: That an officer be appointed at once the same heart-gripping type of plot, escaped an awful fate. But it takes an Emil Jannings to bring a happy family down in ruins by succumbing to the charms of a Chicago "lady" artistically, and make you like it. His fine portrayal of the character of August Schiller, the home-loving, God- fearing father, lifts a picture with a stale plot into the realms of the super- specials. Jannings is literally the "whole show." Playing three almost entirely different parts, from the young man to the broken old pauper, he under- goes one of the most unusual trans- formations that has ever been seen on the screen. The two other important characters, Belle Bennett, the wife, and Phyllis Haver, the "other woman" are so completely overshadowed by Jannings that one hardly realizes they are in the picture. One is impressed with the scarcity of sub-titles, but these are unneces- sary, for almost everything is carried out in pantomime, especially where Jannings is concerned. * * * "1'LAMINGO": A Novel by Mary Borden.

For the gullible general public that consititutes the bulk of the movie4house patronage, the moving picture dire tor's conception of a col- lege may be edifying and satisfying; but to the several thousands of stu- dents actually confined in such insti- tutions, thet nonsense thus perpetrat- ed appears in its true light-as perfect rot. No dne objects to seeing a popular comedian making a farce of college life; but the attempts at serious drama, if one dares call such atroci- ties "attempts at drama" are disgust- ing and revolting to those who find it impossible to sleep through them. The freshman athlete winning the rowing meet, the conceited ass reforming to win the hand of the dissipated-looking co-ed, and the poor outcast coming through in the =crisis to win glory for old Siwash have all been overdone to the point where 'they are sickening. The serious influence which these pictures may have on the general pub- lic is' also a factor to be considered. It is general knowledge that, as a re- sult of the perspective given by news- 'papers of the ilearstian taint, the pub- lic has a c riception of a University as some sort f a glorified playground, where studelhts ;go and play football and dance for fdur years and then au- tomatically, by some magic process, receive degrees as doctors and lawyers which enable them to practice those professions. The movie seems . determined to go even farther in this direction, however, and convince the general public that deans are dried up fossils and that faculty members are only employed as objects of stu- dent derision. At Princeton the students have risen against the showing of such movies, and have appealed to the thea- ter managers to refrain from exhibit- ing them. The disgust with them here is probably so complete that even to protest would be too complimentary to the rubbish which has appeared on local screens recently. If local thea- "THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE" (Cornell Daily Sun.) To judge from a highly enthusiastic editorial in the Michigan Daily, the Ann Arbor institution, not to be out- done by Wisconsin and Princeton, is planning an educational innovation, perhaps more revolutionary than any of the several which have been adopt- ed in the past few years by various of our universities. According to the plan which may be put into effect next fall, all fresh- men will be placed in the University college upon entering. There they will be personally noted by the in- structors, and will be given an oppor- tunity for investigation on their own initiative. When they are deemed adequately prepared, they will be pro- moted to a professional school, admis- sion to which will be made on the basis of a comprehensive examina- tion at the completion of two years in the University college. Those con- sidered -unfit for continuing their uni- versity careers will be dropped with a certificate of some sort. The advantages of the plan are obvious. It will give two years gen- bral education to students in all the professional and technical colleges, and should eliminate the countless misfits who, as the Michigan Daily says, "clutter up classes and hinder the progress of whole sections of the more capable." Obviously it will be an expensive plan in operation, but other draw- backs are not now apparent. The1 educational world will watch with in- terest its results at Michigan. Evidently the air hoppers aren't carrying off all -the honors these days.
