not satisfied with conditions as they
exist today. While the laboring class-
es enjoy more material comforts than
ever before, the increase of comforts
does not keep up with the increast
of their production. An' wealth -
most of which accrues through the
work of the laboring class-is pos-
sessed by a select few. Spargo in
1910 stated that seven-eighths of the
families in the United States own
one-eighth of the wealth. More re-
cently, Scott Nearing asserted that
two percent of the people in the Un-
ited States own 98 percent of the
wealth. The socialists hope for a
more equitable distribution.
The word "Socialism" was first
used by Robert Owen, early in the
19th cestury. It was then used to de-
scribe "reforming schemes". The so-
cialists aim for reform.

"WA hive l;;:it Ially driven men
teachers from our public schools,

typists and telephone girls, partly be-
cause in general the best women mar-

cause we give the teacher but little
freedom or opportunity.
"It is bad for boys from the age of
six to eighteen to be taught only by

even worse for girls.
Can't Afford (iiildren
"It may seem absurd to predict the
possibility that the faculties of our
colleges and universities will ultim-
ately be 'manned' by women. But on
several occasions recently I have rec-
cmmendeA a woman because at a
salary of $2000 a better teacher is
available. I have found that the uni-
;-ersity prafessor has now on the av-
erage only 1.5 children. He is not
ceally able to support the extra half
child. The situation is now worse
than it was, for salaries have not in-
creased in proportion to the cost of
living.
"The difficulty in the present situ-
ation is not only that the ordinary
salary is too low, bunt that there are
noa prizes in the profession compar-
able with those in law, medicine or
engineering, where a successful prac-
titioner may earn $100,000 or more a
year. These large incomes are rare,
but their existence attracts able men
and leads them to make the best use
of their talents. Of our hundreds of
thousands of teachers not one has
the salary of a successful salesman
or, buyer.
"In one of our larger city universi-
ties the professor of economics receiv-
ed the comparatively liberal salary of
$5000. The trustees of the university
are more or less the enmn men who
are directors of the banks, and when

WHY BE PRESIDE N I
It is not too much to assume that1
all fond parents at some time or oth-
er take their infant offspring upon
their knee, bounce him in the air, I
and tell him to be a good boy, study;
hard, go to college, and some day he
may be President of the United tSates.
In this way this is analogous to the
rhetoric instructor who describes a
dirty little stream running through a
cow pasture' as "a silver thread wind-
ing its trickling way through a haves.
of -green grasses and apple blos-
srMs." -
The American standard of great-
ness seems to be based on the mate-
rial wealth of the individual, so why
don't parents tell their children to
be good and some day they will be
great baseball players like Babe Ruth,
who draws almost as much salary
as the President, gets more publicity
and has less to worry about? Or why'
not tell the promising youth to mind
his p's and q's, study law, and some
day he will become a baseball direct-
or like Judge Landis and draw double
the President's salary? Why idealize
the President's office, when parents
can tell their children to do what they
damn please, forget about their
brains, but develop good physical
shapes, and some day they may be-
come movie stars and receive more
salary in a year than the President
of the United States can for his entire
four years term of office?
Why don't parents do this? But
then, parenlts are usually foolish when
their -own children are involved.
-SOCIALISM
Although LaFollette is not a social-
ist, the socialists are backing him be
cause they consider him the most pro-
gressive candidate. Why their back-
ing should be considered an obstacle
'to La Follette is not quite clear. Un-
less socialism is understood, it eannot
be fairly and intelligently, judged.

MASON IHALL
So many buildings are named aft-
er notable men that one easily gets
into the habit of never being curious
to know who the man was for whom=
- e Place was named, why he was1
noteworthy, and when it all happe'n-
ed.
Mason Hall, the first building con-
structed for the use of the institution,
has not always been called by that
name. In 1843 the Board of Regents
elected that the "edifice used in Ann
Arbor and known as Main Building
be called Mason Hall," because Gov-
ernor Stevens T. Mason did so much
for the school. This name continued
in use until 1871 when University Hall
was erected in a central position,
then the old building became known
as North Wing.
The Sarah Caswell Angell chapter
of the D. A. R. did not think this fit-
ting and proper thus to nickname a
place which should demand so mucL
respect, and in 1913 they asked that
the Board of Regents take a second
action and return to the structure its
original name. This was done. Sc
a tablet was prepared and unveiled
on June 24, 1914. It is of bronze
and reads:

Anyone who uses a Remington Portable will tell you
how indispensable it is.
It makes writing swifter- likewise easier. And-
without any reflection on your penmanship-it makes
reading easier.
Compact-fits in a case only four inches high. Easy to

Convenient-can be used anywhere-on your lap, if
you wish.

More Freedom Needed
"If we do not pay teachers salaries
and give them positions of freedom
and honor that will -attract able men,
then they. will be lacking, and the
temporary economy will in fact be
the most wasteful extravagance. We 1
are, of course, told that the service
and honor of the university professor-
ship are its rewards.
"These do not attract some men of
a fine type, but we are now parasitic
on inherited customs and on the high
traditions of the older university.
Professors and scholars are now not
sufficiently free or sufficiently well
paid, so there is a lack of men who
deserve to be highly rewarded, and
we are in danger of sliding down the
lines of a vicious spiral, until we
reach the stage where the professorj
and his scholarship are not respected
because they are not respectable."
