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, though nearly all superintendents are men. And we do not secure the best women, partly because we keep the wage scale down to compete only with typists and telephone girls, partly be- cause in general the best women mar- ry and we take in the schools only those who can't or won't, partly be- 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 partly educated womeir; perhaps it is 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.

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.

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: MASON HALL 1842 THIS TABLET ERECTED BY THE SARAH CASWELL ANGELL CHAPTER, D. A. R.

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."
