Winners of Games Scheduled
for Monday to Compete
for Championship.
Alpha Phi won the right to com-
pete in the hockey semi-finals by
defeating Pi Beta Phi, 3 to 2, yester-I
day afternoon. The playing in the
game was ragged. There was no
open field work, and Alpha Phi won
because of her hard hitting only.
Pi Phi exhibited some fair passing.
Dorothy Birdzell, 32, Helen Domi-
ne, '31, and Cynthia Root starred
for Pi Beta Phi. Excellent defense
of the goal was the work of Cyn-
thia Root.
Jordan Hall was defeated 2-0 by
Zeta Tau Alpha i'n a slow game.
Lack of teamwork was the cause of
Jordan's defeat. The game was
marked by individual starring and
lack of co-operation. Zeta Tau Al-
pha scored its two goals by a sud-
dent spirt during the last half of
the first period.
Helen Brenner, '34, Dorothy Da-
vidson, and Esther LaRowe, '32 Ed..
played a good game for Jordan Hall,
as did Dorothea Boger, '33 Ed., and
Leila Hendricks, '33 Ed., for Zeta
Tau Alpha.
The game played between Alpha
Xi Delta and Helen Newberry Resi-
dence was the closest contested of
the afternoon. Both teams fought
hard, and Alpha Xi Delta's winning
goal, which made the score 2-1, was
not scored until the last minute of
play. Newberry played a good game,
but was overcome by Alpha Xi Del-
t'a's fas~t attack.
Elizabeth Gardner, '32 Ed., and
Doris Litzenburger were the stars of
the Newberry team. Jean Botsford,
'33 Ed., was the best player on the
Alpha Xi Delta's team, and Alpha
Xi's victory was largely due to her
fast and sure playing.
By winning the games today Al-
pha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, and Zeta
Tau Alpha have now quall'fied for
the semi-finals. Kappa K a p p a
Gamma :won this right, also, when
it was the victor of its game on
Wednesday. On Monday, in the
semi-finals, Alpha Xi Delta will play
Zeta Tau Alpha, and Alpha Phi will
oppose Kappa Kappa Gamma.
WOMEN TO SHARE
ANNUAL EXHIBIT'
Mrs. Stanley and Helen Heller
Will be Featured.
Prospects for this year's series of
art exhibits at Alumni Memorial
hall show that women artists are
to take no small part in the ex-
hibits. Perhaps those which stand
out most prominently are Mrs.
James C. Stanley and Mrs. Helen
West Heller, who are both to give
one-man shows during the months
of January and February respec-
tively.
Mrs. Stanley is of the old school
and does most of her work in the
medium of water colors. She is
decidely a technician and supports
the conservative traditions which
are being overridden by the mod-
ern school.

Children's Stories
Featured in Annual
Book Week Display
In order to encourage an appre-
ciation for fine editions and good
reading for young b o y s and
girls, books which were purchased
through the Children's Fund of
Michigan, established by Senator
James A. Couzens in 1929, are now
on exhibition in the display cases
in the entry of the main library.
These editions have been placed
there in aniticipation of Children's
Book Week.
"Some people say that children
will only destroy good editions, but
in my experience they will learn to
respect them," said Miss Ella M.
Hymans, head of the rare book
room. The books are the same old
favorites, which all boys and girls
should read before they graduate
from High School. They consist of
Fairy tales, Legends, Adventures,
Poetry and Folk Lore.
"Each book was chosen for its
particular distinction and beauty
in make-up and illustration. Many
of the editions are illustrated by
modernistic style such as a Mexican
picture book, 'The Painted Pig,'"
said Miss Hymans.
"The books carry the reader into
foreign lands, stirring their ima-
ginations. One, such as "The Birth-
day of the Infanta," will take them
to Spain through the delicate colors
portrayed by Pamela Bianco. Oth-
ers take them to strange unkown
lands by their fantastic pictures.
Rip Van Winkle and Arabian
Nights are illustrated in such a
distinctive manner that they would
excite the minds of every child. Al]
of these awaken a love for beauty
as well as literature.
"The editions are typical of those
which shall be on display in the
libraries of the small towns with
a population under two thousand,
during next week, which is Child-
ren's Book Week.
Warner C. Rice Says P
Individual Efforts
Should be Favored
"We should treat our students as
we do the football team, let the
best man come to the front, favor
his efforts and sponsor his individ-
ual work," said Professor Warner
G. Rice of the English department
when questioned as to possible re-
forms in the present educational
system.
Professor Rice coming from Har-
vard where the Tutorial system
is in practice suggests that we take
the fundamental principles involv-
ed in our English Honors course
which has several lines of paral-
ellism to the tutorial system and
I supply it to a larger group of stu-
dents in all departments. He would
take perhaps one third of the stu-
dent body and allow this fraction
the opportunity from the sopho-
more year on to undertake concen-
trated work in the field of their
interest.
The tutortial system at Harvard
exists as a supplement to the stu-
dent's major field. During the four
years the tutors provide readings
which widen the scope of the stu-
dent's outlook and help him to
meet the comprehensive examina-
tion which he must pass before he
can obtain his degree. With this
brief sketch one can easily catch
the simiharities which exist be-
tween our present system of Hon-
ors and the Harvard corricula.
Upon the adoption of such meas-
ures as Professor Rice proposes, a
change in the method of study
would necessarily have to come a-
bout. The suggestion he offers for
this is to have the mass of students
continue in the system of lectures;
but to allow the students of the
chosen third to carry on increas-
ingly difficult work on a scale of
individual enterprise. If some of
this group are not capable of meet-
ing the challenge offered in the
ever increasing difficulty then they
may return to the lecture courses.

Dr. Colby spent part of her time
in Europe making a survey of nur-
sery schools for the Rockefeller
Foundation. She was particularly
interested in the system of chil-
dren's institutions in Germany.
"These children's institutions are
more like homes than schools,"
she said, "because the children live
at the institution and are thus un-
der the constant supervision of
child experts."
Dr. Colby concluced by saying
that, "The German nursery schools
