MICHIGAN SCHOOLMASTERS
With the advent of another ses-
sion of the Michigan Schoolmas-
ters' club, the University again di-
rects its attention toward the re-
lationship which it has with sec-
ondary education. For every college
the influx of ill-equipped high
school graduates is a perennial
problem. Accordingly, the Univer-
sity welcomes the teachers of sec-
ondary education to the University,
in the hope that some advance may
be achieved toward correcting the
weaknesses of a system which al-
lows incompetent students to be
graduated from high school, and
with the assurance that they may
enter the University.
The general theme of the con-
vention this year is "curricula re-
vision." Groups of teachers will
confer with the purpose of en-
larging their views on changing
their subject matter, in order that
their students may be better equip-
ped with a knowledge of the course.
But activity in such a direction im-
plies a confidence in the efficacy
of mere subject matter to educate
one.
There is, however, a more effi-
cacious result incurred by assem-
bling the high school. instructors
of the state in a gathering at thef
University. By so doing, the
Schoolmasters' club is promoting a
remedy of the problem outlined
above which possesses far greater
potency than simply changing the
order or inclusion of certain ma-
terial in the curricula. Inasmuch
as high school training treats
chiefly of fundamentals, of fund-
amental abstractions in mental
training, the competence of its pro-
pounders, their ability to present
their own views, to offer kindly and
gracious interest in their students
are of much greater importance
than whether they teach loga-
rithms or quadratics in the second
year, or at all.
It would seem, then, that the
principal gain to be had from the
sessions and conferences of the.
next two days lies in the stimulus
to better individual teaching de-
rivable from the contacts afforded
by mutual consultation. With the
individual instructor, rather than;
in the obscurities of a textbook,
lies the ability to make the high
school class rooms "fit homes for
the spirit of learning."

-And the Michigan Daily here-
with takes utmost pleasure in pre-
senting to its public all the exclu-I
sive inside details about the big
*c* *
"CITY SQUALL!"
* * * .
At a late hour last night the
presses were ordered stopped by
Manager Mudgard N. Pulse, who
has an unfailing eye for business,
and for the interests of his read-
ing public.
Working with drippng brow and
rolled-up sleeves, Snoop has fath-
fully constructed, in synopsis from
the scathing and unbelievable facts
a corrupt city administration at its
worst in years. Read all the dope-
LEARN THE FACTS.
Big Underworld Expose!
Corruption, Vice, Graft
-Found Flagrant, Rampant!
EVERYBODY IS DISGRACED!
"It seems, strangely enough,"
Snoop panted; breathlessly, "that
last night was ah auspicious one
in metropolitan history, for today
....the Greatest City in the World
stands before us....stripped of her
glory, honor, integrity.... even of
her mantle of 'purity .... nude, as
it were. Startling revelations have
made everything plainly visible, to
a Public already too-long hood-
winked, bullied, babied, and cajoled
by fawning political demagor-
gons....."
HEY!
BIG MUNICIPAL EXPOSE!
CITY CORNER INVOLVED
IN BEER-WAR SCANDAL!
STATE'S ATTORNEY, TOO!
Waggng their heads in dignified
but appalled horror at the hideous
facts of the expose as it was un-
folded before them, the members
of the Investigation and Intelli-
gence Committee of Civic Welfare,
immediately ordered a thorough
going investigation of the scandal
before any facts were made public.
It is officially believed they have
laid plans for a complete revision
of the matter at hand....either
that, or whitewash the whole mess!
.i* *
BUT YOU SHALL KNOW ALL-
AND KNOW IT AT ONCE!
The reputation of any newspaper
is ,a sacred thing, and so is that of
our own SNIPPS-BLOWHARD
group!...It is therefore our inten-
tion to perform an invaluable pub-
lic service and put youse taxpay-
ing citizens wise to what's going on
about town, and we quote directly
from the original manuscript pre-
pared by Pearson Snoop, special
correspondent for foreign cities.
READ FOR YOURSELF!
BE CONVINCED!

Below Appears a Brief Synopsis,
With Incidental Embellishments,
Of The Original Document.
ACT ONE
A peaceful home scene in a
charming family of common Irish
citizens. On the left, imagine if
you can, a perfectly magnolious
davenport and bay window. The
room is lighted by the glittering
flash of the cut-glass chandelier
on the ceiling. This here is a modem
ern play, see?....and cut-glass
chandeliers are the latest thing.
Matilda Dugan, Clarence's wife
(Clarence, he's her husband, and
also the City Coroner....watch
him!) wanted one of them there
chandeliers and she got it.... but

imported stuff!
One-Eye-Imported me eye!....

Matilda-(knowingly) George....
George, he's my husband....he
gets it from Detroit.
Torrents-What in hell did you

One-Eye-(giving him a jab)
Shut up, you lousy Polock!
Matilda-bon't you men wanna

(Torrents enters with a tray and
shaker of drinks. He beams)
Torrents-Well, folks!....here we

Torrents-Maybe yes and maybe

Matilda- George.... you see

fourth benedictine, one-fourth ker-
osene, six pineapples, and blend to

One-Eye-To suit who?
Wop-Why, ennybody, you nit-
wit!....You....me.... the Public..

..everybody over fifteen is a cus-
tomer.... what'll we call it?
Matilda-Goody!....and won't

One-Eye - (impulsively) You
don't know when you're well off,
Murphy, my friend. I think you1

cha-ring end of the game. It ain't
safe, an' you tie up too much cap-,

Matilda-Ferget tha noise in tha
basement and go look for Torrents!
(Pa puts on his shoes and exits)
Dugan enters sheepishly with two
gangsters))
Torrents-(eyeing hiss ma) Hello{
Ma, old Girl'..
Matilda-(hecalls her "Ma" for
short)-Who are them two gentle-
men?
(She clicks her gum load, and
reaches for a chocolate)
Torrents-These guys?....Hah!..

One-Eye-(threatening) Remem-
ber, Dugan, if you kill Murphy

very well what they done with them
six trucks of Scotch!
Torrents- God!...that's right

Torrents-That's what I say!
You oughtta be shot. Suppose my

One-Eye-He is already, but he

Dear sirs:
Having justreturned from myfish ing
camp in northern Ontario, and in the
reflections upon a fortnight of most
excellent weather, wonderful fishing
and complete camp comfort, I feel
that an appreciation of Edgeworth is
due, as one of the principal factors of
our enjoyment.
In past years, I have taken along a
supply of various well-known brands
of smoking tobacco, never having be-
come fully acquainted with the differ-
ence in the smoking qualities of the
so-called high-grade tobaccos now
upon the market, and acting upon a
tip from an old smoker friend, and as
a matter of convenience in packing,
this year I took along a dozen tins of
Edgeworth Plug Slice.
There are no places nor conditions
in existence where the contentment
drawn from a briar pipe meets with
keener enjoyment or more critical
analysis than beside the camp-fire
after a strenuous day in the great
outdoors.
It is the unanimous opinion of the
smokers among my party that Edge-
worth is without a peer, and that its
smoothness, fragrance and fine smok-
ing qualities are unsurpassed and un-
matched; and I thank you for making
it possible to obtain it.
Yours truly,
(Signed) H. N. Curtiss
