Schemm Sherwood Upton Marie Wellstead Yeagley That classes can be sustained throughout the week or through any epidemic with the partial at- tendance of the last few days is quite undeniable; but the low mo- rale of the University is extremely marked. If classes are to be con-, tinued through the epidemic, it is certain that the students owe the University cooperation, at least, and not the indifferent attitude of' the present. It is one thing to feel that school should be closed, and quite another thing to refuse to cooperate by attending classes while school is still in session. A PROFESSION LOSES After a period of 18 years of service the faculty of the Univer-. sity, Prof. William A. Frayer, of the History department, has resigneo his post as a teacher to enter the administrative side of the educa- tioral profession. Although it is with regret that students see him leave, it is obvious that he is bet- tering his position in a substantial way. Perhaps this may be taken as stronger evidence that there is not only one educational profes- sion including two distinct phases, but that there are two professions dealing directly with education; namely, the teaching end and the administrative. Using the judg- ment of one of Michigan's most widely known teachers as the basis, we may perhaps infer that the latter is the more desireable] of the two in that it offers far greater opportunities. With the resignation of Profes- sor Frayer the teaching profession has lost one of its best to a profes- sion which pays more fitting re- wards for the work done and the responsibility imposed. At present, teachers of all classes receive a very meager compensation for the years of study and research neces- sary to attain the title of profes- sor. Salaries of teachers are not even a fair return on the invest- ment made in an education suit- able for prospective teachers. While salaries are low as they are it is only logical to expect that men who have spent years in pre- paring themselves for professions so important as those connected with education, will break away from teaching to enter the admin- istrative field with its more just returns in the form of higher salaries. 0 ANOTHER MARTYR A man who claims he is prompt- ed by "patriotism and conscience' has filed a suit in the federal court in Cleveland to prevent Her- bert Hoover from taking office as President. Technically he asks that Vice-president Dawes be re- strained from the usual custom of certifying the electoral college vote to the Senate. This fanatic's point is that the president-elect has been a resident of the United I States only since he returned from his work in Belgium after the war. As a radical he is more to be pitied than criticized, although a bit of the latter treatment might bring him to his senses. It is true that our Constitution says that no person who has not been "fourteen years a resident within the United States" shall be eligible for the office of President. But does Myron T. Herrick, the United States envoy to France since 1921 lose his rights as a citizen and give up his residence in this country because he is away on government business? Mr. Hoover made several trips to Europe beginning in the early' part of 1917 when he started the Belgium relief movement and re- turned to the United States to stay permanently in 1919 after the1 signing of the Armistice. At no time in these critical years of world history did this "good-will' ambassador" make himself liable to attack on the points of citizen- ship or non-residence. It may be interesting to note that the same gentleman who at- tacks the president-elect has writ- ten several books attempting to prove that the world is not a globe.

HOWELL THE INFLUENZA SPREADS With snow being forecast by the weather man for today, and a gen- eral storm sweeping northward from Texas to the Lake regions, assuring Ann Arbor and the imme- diate vicinity of nothing better than rainy weather for a day or two more at the least, the pos- sibility of the aggravation of marry of the heavy colds and light cases of influenza now known to exist upon the campus is doubly acute. Although so-called official state- ments from health service offi- cials indicate that there are fewer calls being made now than there were during the peak of the in- crease last week, such statements mean practically nothing. The fact should not be lost sight of that UNTIL THE NUMBER OF RE- COVERIES PER DAY EXCEEDS THE NUMBER OF NEWLY RE- PORTED CASES THE EPIDEMIC CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED ON THE WANE. It is rather surpris- ing that health service officials should have lost sight of a fact so mathematically simple as this; yet so far their figures are concerned only with the new calls. It is naturally true that the epi- demic can not continue to increase at the astounding rate of the past few days, still the number of new cases yesterday apparently far ex- ceeded the number of recoveries, and many persons not seriously ill have neglected treatment alto- gether rather than wait in the lines at the Health Service which have on occasion become more than an hour long.
