THE MICRGCAN DAIL~Y
NEW ASHLAND SCHOOL
TO OPEN ON JULY 30
Following close upon the announce-
ment of the Milassachusetts Institute of
Technology of a course in humanics,
or hmran problems, comes news from
Grand Rapids of an even more startl-
ing educational innovation. On July
30 the Ashland school for adult ed-
ucation will open its, doors in the
Michigan town .
The new school, although the suc-
cessor of one that functioned in Grand
Rapids about fifty years ago, intends
to absolutely adhere to the princi-
pIes of the "new education." The
following ,.novel statement of the
school's plan has recently been issu-
ed: "the school will accept as stu-
dents high school and college grad-
uates who have been disillusioned
and baffled by a few years' contact
with actual life, and mentally alert
young men and women who are trying
to find themselves and the meaning of
life."
And the curriculum is even more
of a departure from accepted stand-
ards than is the student body. Per-
plexities and problems of life, not the
usual academic standards, will be the
basis for the school's courses. At-
tempts will be made to get at per-
sonal problems and circumstances as
is revealed in the fact that only stu-
dents who have "faced life outside
the schoolroom for at least two years"
will be admitted.
The faculty will be required to ful-
fill only two qualifications: (1) That
they keep ilent with regard to any
specialized knowledge they may pos-
sess, until such time as their students
or colleagues may request them to

MICHIGAN NIGHT RADIO PROGRAMS
ARE AVAILABLE IN BOOKLET FORM
More than 2,100 copies of a booklet
containing the radio talks given dur-
ing the past year on the regular
Michigan Night programs through the
.Detroit News station, WWJ, have been
placed in the mails, it was announced
yesterday by Prof. Waldo M. Aboot,
of the rhetoric department, program
director.
The bulletins, containing the full
texts of all the talks given over the
radio by members of the University
faculties, are being sent to all of the
leading f'niversities and colleges of
this country, as well as to those out-
siders who have requested copies.
The 1927-28 series, which was com-
prised of 15 regular programs and a
special one for the annual state high
school music contest, attracted far.
greater interest than ever before,"
said Professor Abbot. "In the first
year of the progranis several huin-
dred replies were received while last
year, the second year of the contest,
the total number of replies reached
approximately 1,000."
Talks on the 1927-28 series have
been 4heard in cities located in 19
states, varying from, Los Angelet
Cal. to West Yynn, Mass., a recent
check-up revealed. "Letters received
during the current season have shown
that the idea that station WWJ is
merely a local station serving the im-
mediate neighborhood of the Great
Lakes, is entirely erroneous," he con-
tinued. "While it is true the majority
speak, and (2) that they piesent their
subjects in an interesting manner or
get out. And adding insult to injury,
they will get no salaries, and will be
expected to share costs of operation
with the students! .
of the letters requesting copies of the
bulletin were received from Michigan,
Ohio, and Ontario, Canada, numerous
communications have been received
from listeners from distant parts of
the country."
The radio bulletin is published in
order that people who have mirsed
one or more programs will be able
to have a copy of the talks which they
missed, and that those people inter-
ested in the programs may have a re-
cord of the whole series.
Talks by members of the faculties
of eight of the schools and colleges on
the campus are contained in the book-
let, in addition to talks by members
of the University administration and
members of the athletic board. The
bulletin contains, as a foreword, t.
note of appreciation to The Detroit
News, which organization generously
donated its broadcasting facilities and !
paid the expense of transmitting the
Michigan Night programs from Ihe
Ann Arbor campus in order that ItI
radio audience might hear the spec-
ialists of the state institution speak
upon educational topics.
A note of appreciation for the mus-
ical portion of the programs is also
contained in the pamphlet, it being
through the cooperation of the School
of Music that the music was made
possible.
Anyone interested in receiving
copy of the programs of the 1!)27-2C:
eries may secure one by seeing Pro-
fessor Abbot.
Max Mason Indicts
Fraternity Brains
That fraternities have achieved the
pinnacle in fellowship and sportsman-
ship, but that they have failed to
make for real college education was
the indictment made against college
fraternities by Max Mason, president
of the University of Chicago, in his
farewell address before the Fratern-
ity club at Chicago.
"The fraternity does not foster
scholarship, but regards the serious
student who applies himself to real
study as a "nut ready for the psycho-
pathetic hospital,' " went on Presi-
(lent Mason.
"I had to get out of the circle of the
American college fraternity to dis-
cover how much fun it is to really
think.
"Fraternities are the horm-es of intel-
lectual poverty as they are consti-
tute(l todlwy. The fraternities have
made good scouts of students, but
they have not done all they can do
in the last game of ability to further
things worth while."
