NEEDED:
A SUPER-KINDERGARTEN.
The demand for a plan such as
that offered by the University col-
lege has lost none of its potency
as new supporters are appearing
constantly. Dean Max McConn of
Lehigh university, in an article ap-
pearing in last Sunday's New York
Times, indicates that he has taken
the field on the same issue. In
view of recent developments on
the Michigan campus, this new de-
fense of the special school for
"collegiates is most pertinent."
Substantially, Dean McConn has
classified college students into two
groups: the rah-rah boys of the
coonskin coat contingent, and
those who seek "culture" and some
understanding of the truth, beauty,
and meaning of life. The greatest
number, he admits, are animated
by a purpose less exalted and eso-
teric, but still thoroughly admir-
able--a bread and butter purpose.
In behalf of the rah-rah boys
Dean McConn says that they are
by no means morons, but come
from good families, are rather
above the average in inteligence
and few are dissipated or immoral
to any serious extent. In short,
their only weakness is that they
are not intellectuals, while the col-
lege job, so far as it serves the pro-
fessional or cultural purpose, must
remain a bookish job for "high-
brows."
Parents send boys to college whc
are entirely unsuited to meet its
ordinary, every day requirements.
Yet "it's being done" and parents
feel that their social standing
m ight otherwise be lowered, or it
might be impliedthat they could
not afford college for their off-
spring.
As Dean McConn points out, the
obvious answer is to segregate the
two groups, with a real college (in
its original meaning) for the in-
tellectually gifted and, since the
others are inevitably coming to
college too, a separate institution
to take care of them. "In this way

mentary fascination with this new-
ly accomplished art.
After attending a few of these
more recent "bigger and better"
offerings of the silver screen, one
can't help feeling that some affect-
ed producer discovered a beautiful
ditty, and maliciously, with malice
aforethought, proceeded to write
some scintillating scenario around
it.
There is nothing more painful to
the audience than seeing the hero,
miles away from civilization, and
pursued by forty thousand demons,
to suddenly stop in some secluded1
spot, and with the aid of a mightyI
symphony orchestra, break forth
into the strains of the theme song.j

SERGE PROKOFIEFF.
Serge Prokofieff, Russian pianist
and composer, will present a pro-
gram of his own works Sunday eve-
ning, March 2, at 9 o'clock in the
smaller auditorium of the Detroit
Institute of Arts. This will be thei
third concert on the series being
sponsored by the Detroit chapter

program will include three of his
melodies for violin and piano, a1
sextet for strings, clarinet, and pi-
ano, and several soprano solos.
Prokofieff's recital will be thet
feature concert of the year. Past
programs of importance sponsored'
by the society have been given by
Gabriel Leonoff, the Russian tenor,
and Alexander Tansman, the Pol-
ish pianist and composer. The
