EMOVE A RECENT PREJUDICE
Is understood that negotiations
r now pending to introduce the
tudy of the German language into
te curriculum of the University
gh school. As a model high
school, established by the Univer-
sity to give other secondary
schOols throughout the state an
example upon which to base their
administration and curricula, it is
high time that it. includes this im-
portant language among those sub-
jects taught. Since the close of the
World War 12 years ago, all the
better high schools of the country
and state have reinstated German
in their courses. The high schools
of Grand Rapids were the most re-
cent converts among the larger
high schools of Michigan.
Aside from the utilitarian pur-
poses of studying German for con-
versation, or to work off the pre-
requisite for higher academic 'de-
grees, are the commercial and dip-
lomatic objects. Germany is once
again forging ahead in the welter,
of the world's affairs and so it will
have attained the position that it
held before the Great War. It will;
be ; indispensable to all business'
men who look to foreign marts.
And by no, means the least con-.
Sideration is the fact that once
again the language of Heine, Schil-.
ler, Lessing, and Goethe will have
been made available to the cul-.
tural advantage the youngest gen-
eration,
HUMANITARIAN SCIENCE.
One manifestation of Dr. Rob-
ert A. Millikan's credo for modern
science, contained in the maxim
that science can justify itself only1
insofar as it aids in the general
welfare of the world, is the recent,
decision of the Regents to cooper-
ate with the National Research
council and a group of other uni-
versities in their search for harm-
less substitutes for the terrible
medicinal qualities of a narcotic
but it would lack those vicious
increments which force men and
women into pitiful fights with
themselves. The successful ameli-
oration of this social ailment would
be an inestimable factor in the
scientific efforts of the modern
world to make itself a better place
in which to live.

intercollegiate club, "is passing

census returns show 222 more in-

Broke in the golf season with a
bang yesterday. I shot a 58-no;
never mind the brick. I wouldn't
spring such an old gag. It was for
nine holes.
* *~ *
A lady in front of me took nine l
putts. Then she put the ball down:
where it had landed and took a
practice shot, holing out in one.
"Oh, dear," she said to her com-1
panion, "can't I use that one? It's
so much better."

The girls rode past the course
on horseback. It ought to be pro-
hibited. It's an artificial method of
locomotion. A horse may be a liv-
ing animal but like an automobile
it has no soul. If you don't believe
me, try riding one.

One of the riders was tearing
along at a fearful rate. The other
one lookedas though she wished
she were home too.
I was surprised to hear a lot of
profanity on the course. I didn't
know that the modern dramatists
had taken up golf so generally.

RAVEL Bolero: by Serg Kous-

Erik Satie on the extra side: Rec-
ords No. 7251 and 7252.
Because he has been vigorously1
sponsoring Ravel's excitingly mon-
otonous work all season, playing
it twice in Boston and twice in New
York, Koussevitsky was chosen to j
do the recording for Victor. It is!
a safe assumption too that he plays
it more interestingly than any
other orchestra in the country.
The work requires superb solo in-
struments in the wind section - a
qualification which the Boston or-
chestra has notably filled for some
years.
Koussevitsky manages the slow,
cumulative evolution into the tre-
mendous sonority of the last record

high position of trust they occupy. 1 * :
Before going further it is best to
have it understood on statement
of high authority that the matter
was submitted to the Regents
rather as a matter of courtesy than
as one of right. This being the
case, they were not justified in tak-
ing the arbitrary action that they
did in the absence of grave abuse
or utterly mistaken policy on the
part of those instigating the inno-
vation. We do not believe that
either of these factors exist. The'
matter has been thoroughly and
carefully gone into by a committee
the competency of which no one
can question. Much time has been!
spent in research, planning and in-
vestigation. The proposition is in
no way hastily conceived or ill
considered. Michigan is the only
state university in the Big Ten
without a cooperative bookstore ofI
some sort. These various stores are
shown to be for the most part con-
ducted efficiently and at a sub-
stantial saving to students. _
Certainly living expenses are
.high enough in Ann Arbor (among
the highest in the United States4
some statistics show), and any
worthy, tried and sound project
.which will lower student expenses
is to be commended and encourag-
ed rather than stamped out with a
gesture.
That the proposed bookstore con-
travenes an element of policy is
shown by the fact that the Union
conducts a barber shop, a billiard
room, a bowling alley, a candy
counter, soda fountain, cafeterial
and dining room, all of which may
be said to enter somewhat into
competition with local merchants.{
Why then, we ask, the discrimina-
tion in, this particular instance? It
is known that a leading local book
merchant was in conference with
a power at the Union less than 15,
minutes after the initial committeel
.had approved of this project. What
he did after that is a matter of1
conjecture. Suffice it then when an
individual or group of individuals
attempt to make his or their inter-
ests paramount to those of 10,000
students, someone is riding for a
fall!
If it is the attitude of 'the Re-
gents that the University exists for
the benefit of the local merchants.
then the Regents are mistaken. In
this particular instance, student
opinion -is rising on all sides and
will ultimately force a fair decision.
It is to be hoped that such will be
accomplished with minimum fric-
tion to all concerned, but let it be
clearly understood that the stu-
dents resent the implication of
Another headline: "Fewer Con-
flicts Seen in Progress for Examin-

next year, just in the hope that
there will be no more mistakes.

Speaking about this time of year,
I've noticed that certain students
in the Music School are brushing
up on a few of the recent song hits,
notably "My Fate is in Your Hands"
and "Oh, How Was I to Know?" No
doubt they are getting ready for
finals.

early moments the sonorous possi-
bilities of the subject. The actual
recording' manages to project the
intricate instrumentation with sur-
prising clarity, suggesting that al-
most nothing is impossible to re-
cord now.
The Chicago Symphony is play-
ing Bolero on the Fourth program
of the estival. Written in 1928
for the dancer Ida Rubinstein and
performed ;by her in Paris,. the
work :has, been variously consider-
ed by critics to be everything from
an extremely amusing bon mot to
the epic o m of dullness. Ravel's
! previous experiments with Spanish
music have been frequent, notably
among them the Rhapsodie Espag-
nole. Indeed most of the compos-
ers of the French and Russian
school1&av& flirted with the colors
and rhythms Spain affords.
This time, writing for a dancer,
IRavel has-done carefully what has
lwayshas dnedone romantically,
diffusely. Paradoxically enough,
the Bolero might be celled a study
in monotonyi 'Whih Ravel has
managed to exploit and exhaust
his considerable talent for orches-
tration. Choosing.a simple, ordin-
ary, unornate bolero, and placing
it over an intricate fascinating
rhythmic figure, Ravel merely re-
peats this snall section again and
again with' slight variation in in-
strumentation and a gradual grow-
ing into sonoroty. By. sheer force
of repetition, this music creates the
illusion of inevitability-of music
we all must have heard in a pre-
vious life{miniSpain. It is a clever
piece of music, if nothing more.
BEETHOVEN: S o n a t a in. A
(Kreutzer), Op. 47: played by Al-
fred Cortot and Jacques Thibaud:
Victor Masterpiece Series No. 72.
This set, a foreign importation,
is distinctly a valuable duplication
-that is, an immense improvement
over the recording of the Kreutzer
Sonata done years ago for Victor
by Isolde Menges and Arthur De-
Greef.
eAneindication of the talent need-
ed for performance of this work
might be gained from Beethoven's
own words about it: "It is written
in a very concertante style, as if it
were a concerto." Cortot and Thi-
baud, by inference, would seem to
meet the demands; they are both
solo artists of considerable dis-
tinctions and in addition have been
intimately associated for years.
They have equal powers and
mutual sensitiveness. The result is
a fine interpretation. They have
fine feeling for the healthy vigour
and self-assertiveness of the early
Beethoven attitudes; but by re-
straint they manage to minimize
the virtuosic appeal. Cortot's years
of Chopin-playing has given him
the pianistic wisdom that makes
his instrument as sensitive as Thi-
baud's violin:
Miscellaneous Records:
Vladimir Horowitz, by now
something of a legend, makes a
small record (no. 1455) of the Doh-
nanyi Cappricio in F Minor, which
he played in his program here as
an encore. He doesn't worry about
the musical values of this small
piece, definitely making it an at-
tractive show-piece; the result is an
astounding fusion of brilliance and
perfect clarity. On the other side
