THE SCIENCE OF MAN i
One of the most important of the'
natural sciences, anthropology, the
science of man, is the least em-
phasized science on the University
curriculum. Elaborate courses of
instruction in geology, botany,
zoology and other sciences dealing!
with the world outside man are in-
cluded in the curriculum. Courses
In literature, history, all those
things which have to do with what
man has accomplished, are also
taught. But, up to the present time,
at Michigan anthropology has been
made subordinate to these.
From a human point of view, the
most fundamental knowledge in
the world is that knowledge of the
species of animal known as man.
A complete understanding of the
world outside man, and of what
man has done, devolves on know-
ing man scientifically. From the
nature of things the teaching world
is so taken up with the problems
of modern civilization, sociology,
political science, psychology, it for-
gets that adequate solution of these
problems depends, to a large ex-
tent, on knowledge of the many
cultures of the past. For the same
basic problems which occupied
the genus, man, in the past, con-
cern him today. The science,
anthropology, is that, branch of
knowledge which correlates past
and present humans.
Due to the establishing of the
Museum of anthropology in 1922,
there was this year introduced a.
general student course in the sub-
ject, taught by a member of the.
museum staff who is also a member
of the faculty. This is the greatest
inroad into the curriculum that.
anthropology has made here, de-
spite the fact that the study has
assumed major importance at Har-
vard university, Columbia univer-1
sity, the University of California,
the University of Chcago, andi
many other leading schools. It is1
to be hoped that the beginning
made this year is merely the start
of a greater emphasis which will
be laid by the curricula makers of
the University of Michigan on the(
all-important science of anthrop-,
ology.
APPLIED SOCIOLOGY.-
The Bureau of Indian Affairs,
long a seat of graft and nettv nol-i
On many occasions in the not too
distant past, neglect and careless-
ness, more often premediated than
not, has resulted in the allowing of
extremely valuable oil and mineral
leases and; in some cases the prop-
erty itself to pass from the hands
of the Indian owner into, those of
an ambitious and unscrupulous
white guardian. It is going a lit-
tle too far, of course, to openly
charge that the interest of south-
western politicians in the Indian
Bureau has also Peen the reason
for the peculiar circumstances un-
der which ignorant Indians have
been separated from their titles to
valuable property.
That the new commissioner is a
man qualified to cope with this
situation cannot be doubted.
Whether the policy under which he
is to work will prove a sound one,
however, is entirely a different
question.
At the time of Mr. Rhoades' ap-
pointment, it was made known
that the government was planning
to care for its Indian wards in ac-
cordance with the principles of
sociology. One cannot help but
wonder, however, just how suc-
cessful any program will be which
has as its objective the educating
and civilizing of the American In-
dian.
A more scientific point of view,
seemingly, would recognize that:
the Indian, no matter how well,
educated or how highly civilized
according to our artificial process-
es, is racially nomad and can never
be expected to thrive in peaceful
settlements as do the members of
the white race.
Because of these very attempts at
civilization, the American Indian
is today a vanishing figure. It may
be that this is only a superficial
criticism. On the surface, however,
it appears entirely pertinent and
should not be disregarded by the
department in the formulation of
its new program. If better edu-
cational and civilizing methods
will benefit the Indian, then it is
to be most assuredly hoped that
the Indian Bureau will find them.
If this new process is to result
merely in the usurpation of all In-
dian rights as fast as the Redman
is removed from the protection of
the Federal government, the
change will not be nearly so wel-
come as it now seems.
Nor does this name ape other
names
Blazoned in every town,
"The Campus" shines alone,
apart,
For our own "town and gown."
Our 1secret belief 's that the
work is not wholly that of Mr.
Wells. It is our opinion that the
entire rhetoric department must
have collaborated on it to produce
a poem so typical of the rhetoric
department. Very likely they are
abroad now, celebrating with their
$50, and $50 looks awfully big to a
rhetoric professor.
When we pass in review Mr.
Wells' efforts, we have a sigh for
the future of belles lettres in Ann
Arbor. Apparently there is precious
little talent in the neighborhood.
We have not yet heard comments
from Mr. Edgar Guest, who cer-
tainly must have judged the poems
submitted, but we feel certain it
will be favorable.
In addition to the contest which
has recently been concluded, we
wish to offer an additional $50 to
the person, including Mr. Wells' of
the prize-winning poem, who can
prove in an essay of not more than
10,000 words that the adjudged

"THE QUEEN'S HUSBAND"
Reviewed By R. Leslie Askren
Unexpectedly, and very much
Thank-Godably, Mimes have done:
the collegiate and the proper thing
by Robert E. Sherwood and put on
his show with the Rabelaisian gusto
that ought to distinguish col-
legian production always. The en-
thusiastic burblings of high good
nature, perhaps a trifle revolting to
the staid; natures who would make
"Jack" an even duller boy than
Heaven meant him to be, have been
sadly lacking since Danny Buell
burlesqued the Opera into being a
good show. Now that Spring has
come it would seem that campus I
leading men have forgotten to take
themselves seriously. At Mimes a
numerous collection of such in-
effables are in fine feather, and
"The Queen's Husband," which
started out to be a razz of Queen
Marie, ends up by being hilarious
fun.
Perhaps a warning is needed for
future audiences. The play ends
vastly romantically and happily,
and there is no need to strangle
laughs because Sherwood has put
too much suspense into the last
act. He was only fooling anyhow.
The man who makes the show; is
Ken White. He plays the leading
part in a cast that considerably
surpasses the Detroit Civic The-
atre's version for all round fun
making. Not so polished, perhaps,
but infinitely more glib at laugh
getting, the group do right by
Sherwood, and even in such minor
details as gun fire are more ef-
fective. When the Queen's room is
hit the plaster really falls. There
is very little doubt about that.
The supporting honor goes to1
the versatile Kurvink., The delight-
ful Richard plays a Dead-eye Dick
Northrop, Dictator by the grace of
an army and a plumber's millions,
that shames the devil into bashful
retirement. With him Norman
Brown is a charming Royal Secre-
tary, and Moyer as the snobbish
footman who practices at checkers
secretly to beat the King gets ev-
ery laugh out of an amusing role.
George Johnson as Prince William
deserves a place by himself for fun
making, but also a special hell for
lisping lines that are quite amusing
without a decoration of hare-lip,
or what not.
Two female characters Sherwood
drew in his play. One a Queen who
ran a kingdom and her own heart
with rigorous duty; and the other
a Princess, who loved her lover well
but her father wisely. H. M. Jo-
sephine Rankin sacrificed herself
a trifle too much to White. Her
character is admirable in its own
right, though not lovable. Princess
Chapel is sincere and charming..
George Priehs, remarkably "made
up," but halting in his lines, does
an incisive character part as the
Liberal leader, Fellman.
The sum total of many clever
characters, enthusiastically played,
is a fascinating show that Mimes
can be proud of.
C ARNEGIE developed the steel in-
dustry by first developing his men.
The Bell System is growing faster
than ever before in its history and this
growth, like the steel growth, is based
on the development of men.
Today, in the telephone industry,
men in supervisory positions must co-
ordinate many and varied factors. For
example, before locating a new central
office, population trends are studied.
While it is being built, telephone appa.
ratus is planned, made, delivered and
installed on orderly schedule.
But more basic than all this, the
executive shows leadership by his in-
sight into the human equation and by
the sympathy and understanding with
which he adapts individual to job,
moulding his men first.

A UNIVERSITY FOR VALLEY
FORGE
(The Christian Science Monitor)
It is difficult to think of a more
definite way to
tlefield than by
transform a bat-
establishing it in
the public thought as a seat of
learning, and this the trustees of
the University of Pennsylvania
have done, inadvertently, perhaps,
in accepting the gift of a large
tract of land adjoining Valley
Forge Park fordthe extension of the
university's work. In making the
gift, Henry W. Woolman, president
l of the University Alumni Associa-
tion, has looked with long vision,
for in a generation or two it may
be necessary to move the university
from the already congested loca-
tion in West Philadelphia to the,
newly acquired property.
For the present ;the trustees are
contemplating the establish-
ment of a school of liberal arts and
a college of history and govern-
ment on the site. In this connec-
tion the university's investigating
committee reported thus:

THE ROMANTIC VOYAGEUR
Reviewed by Lawrence R. Klein
There will forever be, and quite
picturesquely, I suppose, romanti-
cally inclined Maidens, who will sit
and listen avidly to the liquid hon-
ey that pours from the lips of men
like Richard Halliburton. And with
these people he accomplishes his
asseverated purpose; to lift them
from their easy chairs, boost them
astride the medium of his words,
and hang them quite incongruous-
ly on the crook of the Matterhorn,
the whereabouts of which most of
them have not the haziest notion.
But to the great majority of us,
who do not know Alexander the
Great from General Diaz,. and care
not a bit, who do not know Pheidip-
pedes from Charley Paddock or
Joey Ray, and laugh at the gap
in our knowledge, Halliburton, aft-
er due addition for his sincerity and
I subtraction for his obvious false
coloring remains nothing more
than a rosy zero. We stumble after
his molten message quite as dis-
passionately as we would read a
Baedecker and with as much ben-
efit. When his flaming tongue is
quenched with the fire hose of rea-
son, he remains little more than a
charred flake of ash smeared in a
big wet drop.
