"The manufacturing liquor trade wanted a new
and legal retail marketing agency; one that would
be safe, reliable, efficient, respectable. They it was
who conceived the idea of having the government act
as their selling agents."
"It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the
change from limited prohibition in Canada to the
present system of liquor sale was brought about pri-I
marily by the activities of the brewers and distillersI
who wanted a wider market for their products, aided
by drinkers who wanted freer and legal facilities for
obtaining liquor."
"Despite all specious pleas, all plausible reason-
ing, the stern fact remains that the consumption of
liquor in Canada has doubled during the last seven
years and is today not only larger in the aggregate
but the per capita consumption is also greater than{
in any previous period in the nation's history with a
possible exception of the two pre-war years of 1913
and 1914.

A New
Leadership
Especially when the end of the semester looms
menacingly ahead and work piles up on every side,
does the "library complex" develop. No course, these
gentlemen feel, could possible be complete without
a term report. Supplementary reading also is speed-
ed up in some cases to an astonishing figure. One
professor has thus far assigned 10 complete books to
be read and reported upon for his three-hour class
in addition to liberal doses from the textbook.
The plight of some unfortunate who chanced toG
be taking five courses from an instructor of such
ambitions can easily be imagined. The gravity of
the situation is recalled by the fate of the old pro-
fessor in the introduction of Anatole France's "Pen-
quin Island" who was suddenly engulfed and uncere-
moniously smothered in an avalanche of his assem-
bled data on everything under the sun.
The value of supplementary reading can scarcely
be overemphasized but an enlarged perspective on
the part of sometprofessors in prescribing the medi-
cine would sometimes bring much more effective re-
sults. Too often the prospect is so alarming that
the student gives up the whole affair in disgust, andI
( importance Martha Graham saw
was Ruth St. Denis. Martha Gra-
ham was still in school and had
never studied dancing. Against the
wishes of her father, who did not
approve of dancing, she went to
Los Angeles to study with Miss St.s
Denis and stayed with her six
weeks. At the end of that time
she returned to school to please her
father, and it was two years before
she danced again.
In 1919 Martha Graham went
back to the Denishawns as a stud-
ent teacher. She stayed with .them,
alternating as soloist in their con-
cert companies during the winter!
and as teacher in their school in
the summer, until 1923. She was,
with the Denishawn company that
went to England in 1923. After she
left the Denishawns she taught for
two years at the Eastman School of
EVEN a cursory consideration of the national
scene will reveal that at least one of the rea-
sons for the prolongation of our presentgenerally
depressed condition is the absence of really able
leaders.
In view of the fact that our contemporary
America has produced so many eminently capable
men-Edisons and Rockefellers and Carnegies,-
who have known so well the secret of leadership
in their own fields, we may wonder why we have
today apparently no one who can cope with the
situation.
The reason, it seems to us, lies in the country's
social viewpoint. Specialization is the order of
the day, and specialization is frequently but a
euphernism for growing inwardly. The young man
of recent times who would be a 'success' is con-
fronted with the necessity of learning thoroughly
the field of his choice. He most for a number of
years direct his gaze away from all objects and
individuals that do not have some bearing on the
business he is learning of building.
We do not regret this state of affairs; if we are
to have the Edisons, we must have it; and we cer-
tainly do not propose doing away with the Edisons.
We submit, however, that statesmanship has
other requirements. We believe that to be a states-
man-a good statesman, that is,-a man must have
a broad outlook, a viewpoint that integrates, and
must be, if you will, the product of growing out-
wardly.
What we lament in our society is its tendency
to believe that because a man is able in a particu-
lar field he will also make an able statesman. What
we lament in our society is its proneness to put
at the helm of its state men who, however success-
ful they may have been as bankers or doctors, may
not and usually are not expert political mariners.
And by way of evidence to support our proposition
we point to the sad way in which we have for so
long been foundering in shoals that far-sighted
statesmanship might have prevented our ever
reaching.
Our University exists to prepare us, among
other things, for future citizenship. .We urge that
it point out, at least in its courses in history and
political science, the vast difference that exists
between ordinary specialization, which is growing
inwardly, and statesmanship, which is the product
of growing outwardly.

The Glee club went out and sere-

in spite of the rain. The president,
according to tradition, was made to
call every sorority house by tele-

that the girls would be expecting

that it was a hell of a night to call

rority informed the girls that, if
the Glee club was crazy enough tor

ing, the girls should not be crazy
enough to stay up for them.
At any rate, the Glee club receiv-
ed a fairly good reception even if
they did get their white flannels
dirty.
The circus was in town the other
day. A certain clown who was rid-

One of the favorite stunts of the

A university which is truly liberal teaches stu-
dents to think. It makes them alert intellectually,
and graduates them mature and conscious individu-
als into a new, interesting and intricate life.
We desire to see the university continue the ad-
vance it has recently begun, so that some day it may
attain.to its particular fullness in the liberal ideal of
an institution of higher instruction. It will have to
avoid the form of a purely Utopian university which
might place no limitation on the number of courses
under instruction. Excesses of this nature in the
ideal might finally expose it to utter failure. Conse-
quently, the university must check the growth of
such flaws by an intelligent reaction which will dis-,
perse weaknesses in student application, mind andl
utilize knowledge resources, and cut away the catar-
act which obscures student intellect.

had learned and practiced during
her years with the Denishawns, she

a young modern she felt that what
she had been doing was artificial
and out of sympathy with the time
in which she was living. Move-
ment, which, she felt, was the very
essence of the dance, had been
sacrificed to theatricalness. She
struggled for economy of expres-
sion, for simplification and for di-
rectness. In her work Martha Gra-
