THE MICHIGAN DAILY
DEFENDS PRECOCITY REWARD:
Edmonson Endorses Combined
High Schooi=College YeafrPlan
Elliott Roosevelt Gets Flying Cross
DALY 'U FFICIAL BULL TIN
Answering the storm of criticism
and misunderstanding that has fol-
lowed the National Policies Commis-
sion's plan to combine the senior high
school and freshman college year for
selected 17 year old boys, Dean J. B.
Edmonson of the education school
recently issued an article endorsing
the plan.
Published in the December 26 issue
of "School and Society" is Dean Ed-
monson's reply upholding the Com-
mission's plan on the basis that stu-
dies have revealed many students
capable of undertaking college work
at this age.
Other favorable arguments stated
are that boys who have completed
a college year are more likely to be,
among those selected by the Army to
return to the universities for techni-
cal training, and are also more likely
to be among, those selected for the
officer training programs. Also the
resolution is hoped to have a favor-
able effect on both secondary schools
and college programs.
Dean Edmonson states that the
Commission carefully weighed the
pros and cons of the problem before
The deadline for the Michigan
Technic's December Ethics contest
has been extended to Jan. 5. All
entries are to be submitted to the
Technic office, 3036 East Engi-
neering Building. Further infor-
mation can be obtained from
the editorial director.
presenting it, and after careful studyj
felt justified in the recommendation.
Most of the criticism that arose was
a result of misunderstandings, ac-
cording to Dean Edmonson, for some
stories carried headlines which im-
plied that the Commission was rec-
ommending the admission of every
17 year old boy, and other stories im-
plied that the Commission had passed
legislation that high schools and col-
leges had to accept.
More legitimate charges were that
the proposal might undermine confi-
dence of students in the value of the
senior year of high school, might
draw leadership from senior class re-
sulting in a loss to the other students,
and that the senior year in many
,high schools is the most valuable year
and likely to be more valuable than
the first year of work in the tradi-
tional college. However, Dean Edmon-
son explains, the Commission consid-
ered these unfavorable probabilities
before deciding that the arguments!
in favor were greater.
Endorsing Dean Edmonson's views,
are opinions of other educators in-
cluded in the article. One of these,
Dr. Edmund Day, President of Cornell
University, expressed the following in
a news release:
"It will give young men a 'toe-hold'
in college before they enter military
service. They will receive training
which will be invaluable to them in
the armed services, and will receive
a taste of education which will help
to avoid a 'break' in college education
in this country."

The expanded Japanese language
program here at the University will
make use of the newly published bok
"Modern Conversational Japanese"
edited by Dr. Joseph K. Yamagiwa of
the department of Oriental languages.
This book, rated as the most com-
prehensive text on spoken Japanese
yet published in America, is based on
the principle that the approach to
any language should be through the
colloquial.
It covers the materials of Dr. Yam-
agiwa's beginner's course in the Jap-
anese language setting forth the basic
concepts in as complete a manner as
possible.
The purpose of the book is to give
students an adequate conversational
ability in the modern informal Japa-
nese language as used by the middle
and higher than middle class in Tok-
yo. It is their language which is ac-
cepted as a standard in Japan.
Part I deals with pronunciation,
Union Life Member
Pins to Be Issued
part II presents an over-all view of
Japanese grammar, and part III takes
up the various modes of expressing
case, tense, voice, mood and so forth,
one by one. The inclusion of English
equivalents for all Japanese examples
given, makes the book particularly us-
able for unsupervised study.
Dr. Yamagiwa is an American citi-
zen of Japanese descent who was born
in Seattle, Washington. He received
his A.B. degree, magna cum laude,
from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine,
in 1928, and also holds an A.M. degree
in English and a Ph.D. in Oriental
Languages from the University of
Michigan where he is now an instruc-
tor in Oriental Languages.
He has traveled and studied in Ja-
pan and China under a fellowship
from Rockefeller Foundation, and was
a research student in the Literary
Department of Tokyo Imperial Uni-
versity.
He is the author of articles, both in
English and Japanese, on Shake-
speare, Gesner, "Wartime Japan,"
"Western Thinking on Japan" and on
various problems connected with Jap-
anese language teaching.
