.o
reasons were three: first that a
large element of the student body
is prevented from viewing hockey
games by the fifty-cent tax; see-
ond, that inasmuch as the charge
is really made for the privilege not
of witsessing the contests, but of
skating after the play is finished,
it is unfair to levy the admission
price against the majority who
have no interst in exercising the
right; and third, that hockey's in-
tegral place in the athletics-for-all
objective demands that it receive
the advantages which widespread
student support, contingent uponf
the removal of the admission
charge, would bring.
Since the appearance of the
above epitome, the athletic officeC
has reviewed th possibilities of re-
moving the tax and decided
against it. This was prompted
largely by the fact that even while
the charge is operative, the Cole-J
sium is packed for home hockey'
games. Where, the athletic board
asks, would the large crowds who
would attend if we disposed of the
charge be accommodated ?
While the answer to this perfect-
ly legitimate query is self-reveal-
ing and completely justified under
the present conditions, it is sin-
cerely to be hoped that the solu-
tion will be forthcoming in the
near future in the form of increas-
ed facilities for accommodating
large crowds at hockey games
without the necessity of curbing
student interest in the sport by a
price.

MORE ANTI-PATERNALISM
Opportunity for literary schools
offering pre-professional courses to
see themselves as others see them
is to be found in the recent indict-
nent of pre-law training courses
which Judge C. W. W. Pound, of the
New York court of appeals, recent-
ly presented before the New York
state bar association.
Judge Pound's accusation is
based fundamentally on charges of
excessive paternalism on the part
of literary colleges. In part, he
says: "It still remains for the
schools to rebuild the system of
preparatory training on modern
lines; to eliminate that which is
merely conventional, and to em-
phasize the necessity for training
men 'to do rather than to criticize
and to try rather than to aspire."
Lak of executive ability, the
Ohief fault Judge Pound has to find
in law students, is evidently an em-
anation of the paternalistic train-
Ing to which students of contem-
porary literary colleges are sub-
jected.
Nc agency in our modern edu-
cational system provides adequate-
ly for the character training of
youths in their last stages of adol-
escence. Colleges fail to perform
it, and it is a task which profes-
sional schools rightfully refuse to
attempt. "The law schools shrink
from the taskof character training,
as such, although they are forced
to struggle with the problem," says
Judge Pound.
The task of character training is
one which falls rightfully to col-
I e g e s offering pre-professional
courses of study. It can be accom-
plished only by allowing students a
certain range of liberty in which
their actions will result in their
personal advantage or disadvan-
tage.
It cannot be done according to a
system of rules which does not. al-
low even graduate students to drive
automobiles.

;hat no one missed. This 'back
through the years' appeal is vivi-
fying Mr. Greet's appearances in
the East at the present im e.
England's recognition of Sir Phil-
ip Ben Greet had its royal approv-
-al on June third of last year when
King George knighted him in
grateful appreciation of a life de-'
voted cause of drama in education
-a life of conscientious service in;
behalf of the best stage traditions.
During the war Mr. Greet was en-
gaged by the London City Counil
to present plays at the Victoria
Theatre on Waterloo Road in Lon-
don, the "Old Vic" which is now
being torn down in favor of an of-
fice building. There he produced
twenty-four o f Shakespeare's l
plays including the first quarto of
Hamlet. He gave up that assign-1
ment when the board of Education
requested him to present Shakes-
pearean plays all over the coun-
try.
One of the greatest tributes to
Ben Greet's genius, and one of the
greatest sources of joy to himself,
is the eminence to which his staget
children have attained 'in their)
professional existence. Sybil Thorn-
j dyke, foremost tragic actress of
England, made her first stage ap-
pearances in his American tour of
1905. His standing as a Shake-
spearean authority inevitably leads
every producer, director, and actor
who his planning a serious Shake-
spearean production for his coun-
sel and warnings.
Mr. Greet wrote a red letter page
in dramatic history when with
William Poel of the Elizabethan
Society-he revived the great mor-
ality play "Everyman." lis dra-
matic masterpiece had slept for
four hundred years before Mr.
Greet's revival. Charles Froham
became interested in the unique-
ness of the play and brought it to
America where it has been one of
the most successful performnces
y in the repertory. "Everyman" will
be presented here Sunday night.

Another announcement carrying
with it ipemories of the past to
older theatre-goers is that of the
return of Fritzi Schelf in Mlle. Mo-
diste to the Cass theatre, Detroit,
next weefk sunday. Twenty-four
years ago' Fritzi Scheff appeared
as the tempestuous "Fifi" in the
!opening in Washington, D. C., of
Mile. Modiste. This early opera of
Victor Herbert's, enjoying the col-
laboration of a good lyriviist in
Henry Blossom undoubtendly has
a better chance for permanence
than some of the later more sac-
charine ones.
A very pleasanti added touch to
the present production is the dance
divertissement of the Albertina
Rasch Ballet with exquisite solo {
work by the premiere danseuse,
Marie Grinaldi. An ensemble and
symphony orchestra are promised
for the Detroit production.
