Muyskens Asserts Study of Language

of Natural Sciences"
OUTLINES DEVELOPMENT
,"Language study in the past has
been studied through the biological
and metaphysical methods," said Mr.
John Muyskens of the French depart-
ment in a lecture entitled "Speech
Analysis" at 5 o'clock yesterday in
the Natural Science auditorium. "At
present the psychological method of
study is emphasized. And we hope
the natural ;science method will, be
used in the near future."
Mr. Muyskens spoke of the history
of language study from Aristotle
through the various schools down to
the present day, stating some of the
theories for the origin of language.
One was that "God implanted lang-
uage in man so that 'He could talk
with man." Another that "philosoph-
ers developed language through their
study of nature." However that may
be, 'said the speaker, comparative
philology shows that at some time
language has had one common source.
Speaking of the teaching of lang-
uages the speaker explained the dif-
ficulty of such teaching through the
teaching' of grammar, since the at-
tention of the student is forced upon
the endings or other changing parts
of words rather than upon the natural
rythmic accentuations of the words.
"Unless one has learned the rythmic-
al 'muscle movement,' he will be tot-
ally unable to speak eorrectly.
QUARANTINE FORCED ON
COUNTY BY COHRN SORER
The three eastern tiers of Wash-
tenaw county have been placed in
quarantine because of the corn borer
prevalent there. The pest has been
working very fast during the last
year and doing a good deal of damage
to the corn crops. Federal "scouts"
are at work in the other townships of
the county in search of the borer.
There are men stationed on tle
roads leading out of the quarantine
area to stop all vehicles and to search
them for corn or other likely stuff
carrying the borer. People desiring
to drive through without being stop-
ped may get A card from IAansing to
paste on their windshields.

tional fraternity, is holding its annual

Whitney Predicts
Discovery Of New
Element In Future
Los Angeles, Calif., Aug. 3.-There
are probably three more elements to
be discovered, was the prediction
ventured by Dr. Willis R. Whitney, of
the General Electric company, Sche-
nectady, N. Y., in an address before
the American Chemical Society to-
night. Discussing "Matter-Is There
Anything In It?" he said science now
has reached a stage where a physical
picture of the structure of atoms is
more intricate than any eartly model,
and more perfect geometrically than
any known celestial system.
Making new generalizations from
the work of J. J. Thomson and R. A.
Millikan, Dr. Whitney said:
"Matter is at least not merely dry3
and hard, nor yet soft and wet. It
is electronic and celestial, whatever
that may mean, and the most we know'
about it is that it is almost entirely
space. It is as empty as the sky. ItE
is almost as empty as a perfect vac-
uum, although it usually contains a.
lot of energy.
All the elements "from the smallestt
to the largest, the speaker declared,
can be constructed by orderly as-A
semblies of positive and negative
electrons. Of the atom, he said its 7
actual smallness is impossible to real-
ize, but so much seems known of its
dimensions that we must accept it1
and try to apply it.

mechanical duties," stated Dr. Charles
L. Spain deputy superintendent of the
Detroit public schools, in his lecture
on "The Philosophy of Supervision"
given at 4 o'clock yesterday at the
University hight school
Powers and functions have been
taken away automatically from the
principal, and 'have not been regulat-
ed yet to secure the most efficient
results, for the supervisors.
In an attempt to improve the pres-
sent methods ofdschooldsupervision
Dr. Spain. has discovered the three
functions he considers most neces-
sary.
The first of the supervisor's func-
tions is research work; to seek the
best practices in the system of teach-
ing and spread them about so that all
schools may receive the benefit.
The supervisor should also train
the teacher in service, train her to
adapt herself to the requirements of
the school, and to be able to lead
discussions in facultymeetings.,,
Finally the supervisor should per-
sonally visit the class rooms and
keep informed on the progress be-
ing made, but always keeping in mind
that the principal is still responsi-
ble, and that he should act accord-
"Prejudices, or are they loyalties, I
don't know-criss-cross-we cut each
others throats from the best of mo-j
tives." The theme. of the play might
be expressed in that one quotation.
"Loyalties" is the story of a young
British cavalry officer, who has been'
accused of stealing a large sum of
money from another guest in a coun-l
try house, Ferdinand DeLevfs, a Jew
popular in fashionable society, and
ambitious to obtain n embership in
an exclusive London club. The young+
officer, Captain Dancy, is shielded by
his friends and the Jew, Mr. DeLevis,
is made to feel that he is 'injuring
Dancy's reputation rather than being
himself the injured party. The con-
flict is between Dancy and DeLevis.
DeLevis is sure that he is right,
while Dancy, though suspected by his
friends is given their complete sup-
port. After a public accusation of
Dancy in a London club, the club;
members insist that Dancy take ac-
tion in the court against DeLevis for;
slander. Dancy is reluctant to do so,
but seeing no way out of it places the
case in the hands of old Jacob Twis-
den, a solicitor of the old school.
Twisden, towards the close of the
trial, gets information which shows
clearly that Dancy is guilty, and his
loyalty to his profession must be put
ahead of loyalty to his friend .or
client. How Dancy sacrifices the loy-
alty which he feels he has no right in
asking, the avowed loyalty of his wife
towards him,, to his own loyalty to
himself comes in the climax of the
play.
The play illustrates the thesis that
The program was divided into three
groups. The first group, of which
Ora Boville was the chairman, in-
cluded the readings of "The Congo" '
(Lindsay) by Mary Hall, "The High-
wayman" (Noyes) by Dorothy Kehoe,
"Ballad of Francois Villon" (Anony-
mous) by Raymond Chapman, andi
"Carcassonne"' (Nadaud) by Con-
stance Gaskin.
In the second group, of which the
chairman was Leroy Jones, readings
of "The Bachante to Her Babe" (Tiet-:
jens) by Mary Crowe, "The Man with
the Hoe" (Markham) by Gladys Daw-
son, a scene from "Rip van Winkle"'
(Irving) by Evria Tefft, and the "Sor-
rows of'a Summer Guest" (Leacock)
by I4ouis Shackson, were rendered.
The last group consisted of "Bal-
lade of Dave Lilly" (Kilmer) by Gay-
lord Wilson, "Patterns" (Amy Low-
ell) by Louise Tuers, "The Imaginery
Invalid" (Jerome) by Mrs. Jessie
Myers, and "The Bell Buoy" (Kip-
ling) by Leo Huff Maradia Clark was
chairman of this group.
ern social life, where loyalties must
conflict, the smaller, the weaker loy-
alty inevitably gives away to the'
larger, more compelling loyalty. The
play has no hero; our sympathies are
first with DeLevis, then with Dancy.
Both are ruined in the warring of the
loyalties involved.
