MALLORY SPEAKS ON CHILD ARIST Points Out That Gifted Boys and Girls' Are Not Abnormal, But Possess Vitality MOZART, MARJORIE FLEMING, WERE YOUTHFUL PRODIGIESc Discussing the child artist of thea past and present, Prof. H. S. Mallory of the rhetoric department spoke be-. fore a representative audience yes-.. terday in Natural Science auditorium on "The Child Artist." Professor Mal-t lory first spoke of the boy Romana Dazzi, the Italian artist whose worksf have been exhibited here, and the Ital- ian girl, Pamelabianco, now living in_ the United States whose work were shown several years ago. Children Not Abnormal Professor Mallory paid partiular at- tention to the boys who have written stories and the girls who have writ- ten verse. He pointed out that these boys and girls are not abnormal and precocious, but that they merely ar children with plenty of vivacity and enthusiasm that sought some kind of expression. In these particular cases, the self-expression simply ran in the line or medium which was most natur- al to the child. Professor Mallory also indicated the fact that thre must have been many child artists in the past. The reason, he said, that they were not well known in such numbers and that we do not know' of many of those in other ages, is that there was little communication and records were incomplete. He cit- ed Mozart, who produced an oratorio when he was ten and a light opera about the age of 12. Marjorie Flem- ing, who lived from 1803-1810, was well known through her friendship with Sir Walter Scott. In her sixth year she kept a journal in which she wrote down moral maxims, accounts of personal experiences, which im- pressed her, and interesting things that other people said. Her literary career ended by the writing of a 200) line epic on the life of Mary, Queen of the Scots. She is recorded as a healthy, happy, average child, showing few signs of an infant prodigy. - Names Artists of Today Touching on the child artists of our own time, Professor Mallory spoke of Hilda Conkling who in 1919 published some poems written before she was ten. This work was really poetry, he said. It was the unconscious and simple work of a child. It attracted the attention of many of the foremost critics, notably Louis Untermeyer, Prof. Mallory classed her as an ex- ception in whom there is some evid- ence that she is going to be great when she reaches maturity. He said that few of the child art- ists Tare really great when they grow up. Through diversified interests their attention is many times turned into other lines of expression. An ex- ample of this fact is Arvia MacKaye, daughter of Percy MacKaye, who wrote the "Hermit Thrush." Her spe- cial interest has later turned to sculp- ture, but now she gives her particular attention to social problems. Many Children Write Of the most recent examples of child artists is the boy Horace Wade, who wrote a -30,000 word adventure story which was published in 1920. Wade is classified as a normal boy, but he possessed the power of working the thing through. Many of the children of today start works of good merit, but they do not carry their work through to a conclusion. TENNIS PLAYERS MUST GET PERMITS Increasing numbers of students are taking advantage of the tennis courts at Ferry field, which have been open for the past week. A charge of $1.50 is made for a season permit, which may be procured either at the Ath- letic association rooms in the Press building or from the attendant at Ferry field. The courts are open from 8:45 a. m. to 6 p. m. on Saturdays, and from 1:45 to 6 o'clock in the afternoons the rest of the week ex- cept on Sundays, when they are closed all day.

SCORES ARE TRAPPED IN NEW YORK SUBWAY WHEN FUMES FILL TUNNEL Officials Believe .Contract Accepted Next Week .wi .Bel New York, July 6.-Trapped in a' dark subway tunnel, 75 feet below the street and reeking with gas fumes and smoke, nearly 500 men, women and children passengers of the East side train Interborough Rapid Tran- sit were converted into a_ frenzied, shrieking mob, almost a third of these people were overcome before they could fight their way to safety. Three probably will die. Police of- ficials said it was a miracle that they were not trampled to death, as the only exit is a narrow little spiral stairway. This was jammed with fugitives from the train below. A lit- tle fire extinguisher, whose contents were charged on a tiny blaze in a motorman's power box, was held re- sponsible for the clouds of poisonous smoke sent whirling through the tun- nel. More than three score of those overcome were in such serious con- dition as to require hospital treat- ment. ALL. SPORTS PROVIDED FOR PROF.

PRIMARY PURPOSE OF TRIP I$ FURNISH OUTING FOR STUDENTS countries and islands year is the fecord made by Prof. W. H. Hobbs, head of the geology department of the University, who has just returned from a tour which commence4 when he sailed from San Francisco on June 29, 1921. Professor Hobbs made the tour for the purpose of collecting information whiclh would aid in the study of the origin and growth of mountains. Among the countries which he visited are the Federated Malay States, Hin- dustan, Egypt. Yap, Germany, Hol- land, Guadalupe, Venezuela, Cuba and the Canal zone. Whenthe American Geological so- ciery meets in Ann Arbor next De- cember, Professor Hobbs will deliv- er an address before members of that: organization in which he will give a review of the work he has accom- plished during his year's absence from the University. The subject of his address will be "Island Arcs of the Pacific.". Open Air Drama To 21e Presented Under the trees between the Li- brary, Tappan hall, and South Wing, the Shakespearian playhouse com- pany of New York City will give per- formancess this summer from Aug. 3 to 5. "Galsworthy's Pigeon," "The Ad- mirable Creighton," by James M. Bar- rie, and Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" and "Twelfth Night" will be given. No scenery but the natural stage will be used. The stage will be laid out between two huge oaks, facing the benches which will be placed to accommodate from 1,500 to 2,000 people. The whole thing will be enclosed with burlap walls. The only disadvantage will be the level ground which does not lend itself to this use as well as if it were sloping. The coming to Ann Arbor of the Playhouse company brings back something which has not happened for six years when the Ben Greet players were here. Before 1916 these players were a regular feature of the University Summer sesson., Belle Isle and Windsor are the twoF points to be visited Wednesday, July 12, by the Summer session students on the fourth excursion. Unlike the previous trips, this will be largely, a pleasure trip. All important parts of Belle Isle, Detroit playground park, will be vis- ited. This includes tb* outdoor zoo,1 the aquarium, the casino, the botani- cal gardens, the wooded drives and the typical scenes of the Detroit river. To See New Bridge In addition, the partly constructed Detroit to Canada bridge will be ob- served from the shore, with opportu- nity for understanding how the gi- gantic passageway is actually put up. Picnic grounds for the party will ba available, and for those who do not' bring their lunch, meals can be ob- tained at the Casino. Preceding the boat ride from the lower Woodward to Belle Isle, a brief visit to Windsor will be taken on the Ferry. This will allow the writing of post cards, mailed with 'Canadian stamps and for a short walk on Ca- nadian soil. All foreign students will facilitate arrangements for taking the passage to Windsor by bringing their1 passports. Outing to Furnish Pleasure Carlton Wells, director of excur- sions, in commenting on the excur- sion, said, "The primary purpose of this trip is to furnish an outing and pleasant sight-seeing.

W. Helt, head of the broth- erhood of railway signal men, after taking a strike vote promised to main- tain the status quo pending a further conference. It was the second time that inter- vention of board members has averted an extension of the walkout, a threat- ened strike of maintenance of way men having been prevented Tuesday through the efforts of Chairman Hoop- r and W. L. McNemimen, labor mem- ber of the board. Hoipe for Quick Settlement Meanwhile, railway officials express- ed strong hope of a quick settlement of the shop men strike B. M. Jewell, head of the shop men, today reiterated former statements that the shop men were willing to consider a settlement proposition submitted by any author- ized body. The situation is improving so far as the strike is concerned, Mr. Jewell said, asserting that he had received favorable reports from "what few men that did remain at work last Satur- day and Monday, who joined the walk- out later." JOURNAISM DEPATMENT^ TO HAVE NEW COURSE Courses in journalism this fall will total 13, aggregating 38 hours' credit. with the addition of a new course in magazine writing, which will be taught by Donal Hamilton Haines. This will be a year course, with six hours' credit. Several important changes lcave been made concerning sequence of courses.
