This may be branded as the greatest danger confronting American democracy today. When a nation, led by the exhortations of wild eyed demagogues, teaches its youth that its glory is infinitely more glorious than an other; that its power is with- out peer in the world; that its culture has reached a peak of such absolute pertection that its manifest movement of fundamentalism and super-patriot- ism constitutes a "crisis in the intel- lectual history of this country." "What was a cloud no bigger than a man's hand when Charles Grant Miller began his infamous attack upon histories written by men who really knew the facts," writes Professor Van Tyne to the New York Times, "has become a menacing storm, threatening truth wherever it is found." The point of attack is a two vol- ume work' of American history which came to the attentin of Professor Van Tyne, sponsored by people whose aim is to produce a standard history of the United States, so that there will be no difference of opinion as to our past among the youth of the next generation. Its chief qualification is that it has received the sanction of patriotic organizations; the American Legion, the Boy Scouts of America, the Colonial Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, Knights of Pythias, the National Security league, the Confederate Veterans, and hal has also receivpd the endorsement and critical aid of the Order of the Elks and other fraternal orders. It was written under the' direction of 12 pseudo-historians by a proessor of English and is sent out' over the na- tion with the hope of universal adop- tion because it is guaranteed not to destroy the ideals of the younger generation. Opposition to the chair of philoso- phy, which was once the storm'n center in universities, seems to have shifted, at least in this present day in Amer- ica, to the chair of history, and espe- cially American history, where the truth often hurts, is particularly apt to be obnoxious. More polemics of wild eyed demagogues have been di- rected against this department of learning than any ther, because cer- tain people cling to traditions which paint America in colors unrivalled in the world, and throttle all expres. sions which tread upon their toes. So we see the spectacle today of organizations whose purposes should be above such, endorsing a history written by an English professor. It is history, written through a medium which distorts the truth, and turns it to political ends. In. his letter, Pro- fessor Van Tyne declares that though it has certain unexpected virtues, it is "so maudlin and sentimental about 'our' virtues and 'our' super- iority over the rest of the world, that if universally used, 'our' next genera- tion would behave like an insufferable cad toward the rest of thegworld." History which has no Asgard for the truth, history, written for the express purpose of arousing those feelings of pristine enthusiasm which people call patriotiotism, is not history. But op- position will always go on. "That which was a cloud no bigger than a man's hand when Charles Grant Mill- er began his infamous attack upon histories written by men who really knew the facts has become a menac- ing storm, threatening truth wher- ever it is found." Tle plan represents one nore en deavor to uniformity, and .all whO have a point of view broad enough to see the danger should unite in pre venting its ultimate triumph. The arena for the struggle will be larger than Dayton, and the cause at stake more important. Yesterday we made a grave mis- take. We w;e going down to playI tennis on Ferry field with our com- panion of the woods and waters,t Bill, when one of the boys asked us to play with him. '"Awright," says we, "have you got l a tennis- racket?"t "Naw," says he, "let's go to Burn's . Park." "Awright," says we, and we went. Arriving, we found the courts vac-1 ant, and chose the rough. We won,' and our opponent chose to have us serve. We did. He took a three game lead and then we tightened up and took six straight. Then we went to pieces.- We have an alibi, however. This guy refused to play a gentleman's game-that is to say, he played with malice aforethought, and made us think balls were coming fast when thjey were coming slowly and vice versa.' That disturbed us, particular- ly as the base lines were so situated that when you fell back to get a fast drive, you fell over the backstop. All of which was quite disconcerting, Now Bill beats us regularly, but we expect that. * * * Battling Doug barges in to inform us that the University has been com- peltgd to pass a rule to the effect that excursionists to the Jackson prison will not be allowed to speak to their friends in that institution during the trip.' Obituary There is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. There are sobs such as were never hteard before. Great is the sorrow, great the grief, For Mart'a is no more.

What is a means of killing her? --Svengard. * * * Boy, Page Dan Beard Dear Rolls- T~ere are personal things and things, and sometimes I sense a lack of comity in the ranks of the students in regard to these sacred things of hearth and home. This qualifies me for rebuke: In regard to these things so inconsiderably treated, here's one. I raised a beard-well, I initiated one for a week. Therie were reasons: no money, and a hard razor irritates my face, and a soft one splinters my chin, and a straight one hurts my conscience. Immediately after 1 started it I observed looks of ask- ance and words of askance. Some- one said it was because the thermo- mieter had dropped. It had. Another one insinuated Secret Service and I swear .I hadn't been near Martha Cook, and right after that I heard a girl say "he's getting in character,"' which was rathercruel, seeing that she didn't know me. In my classes everyone smirked and when outside somebody played the automatic grass cutter they smirked out loud, hard. I stubbed my feelings then and there and walked limping from the room. This is the end, Nero of Rome. -* * * Ha, ha, Nero, we've got you teased. That is not the end. This is going to be, but we are the only one entitled to end this column. And as for the beard, you should have seen the mous- tache we raised here last summer. Did we cringe when people laughed- even aloud? Ah no, not us. We laughed right back at them, as much as to say-"Well, why don't you try it, smarty?" But then-this is the eid. We see -by the papers-that the girls in the Congo are becoming flap pers, and that men will be using paint and powder by 1935. We're glad that the good die young.

We do not mean such a lamp as his. We have reference to something far less mysterious and awe-inspiring. But in its capacity to produce material things for you it is far more wonderful than Aladdin's, for it will give you many things which he, in his time, could not have thought of. We have reference to savings, in whatever manner accumulated. If from day to day and week to week you lay aside a part of whatever you make, bye and bye the time will come when for the asking you can have the things you desire. It will not bring you everything. It will not buy and friendship, those most worthwhile things in life. in gaining all of them, if used rightly. y health and happiness But it will aid you 0 Little need to tell you of the advantages of laying by something for the future. If you but think a moment you will recall living examples which prove the truth of what we say. Count these men you know whom you consider most successful. How many of them are not thrifty? There is no necessary relationship between men who are thrifty and saving and the fact that they are loved, admired and respected in their community, but the two usually go together. In a material sense it is different. They have the things they want because they have the means to buy them. They have the means because they have not squandered all. And what price all this? Very little indeed. The habit of saving, once determined upon, is easily acquired. Shortly it becomes a genuine habit, as natural as any other habit you acquire. It demands only the effort required to live on a little less than you make. The cost is small, the reward is great. today. A good time to begin saving is ii _ Ann Arbor S ay 1
