From the open- ing scene in which Roxie shoots her lover while the orchestra blares the song of the same name as the play, until the last, where she informs the latest murdress, "Yu gotta play ball, kid. This is Chicago," the produc- tion is full of enthusiasm, action and life. The show is a good one, and the Players more than redeem them- selves for the dubious effort of last week. Maurine Watkins has accomplished a brilliant if unpleasant piece of work in this play. Cook County justice is treat- ed with an irony that bites, while the amount of veritable human nature. that is crowded between the two cur- tains is astounding. Roxie Hart and Billy Flynn, Amos and Jake and the others wall; the streets of this coun- try every day. The play is indeed a masterpiece.

Most of the mem- hare f the nat hned their bst nl =r' Night Editor-LAWlENCE R. KLEI FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING Arthur J. Jones, profesUor of secon dary education at the University of Pennsylvania, has proposed a compre hensive cooperative study of th school systems of England and th United States as a means of promot ing a better understanding betwee the educators of the two countries There is continually a great deal o discussion as to the relative merits o- the two systems, but until there ha been a careful survey made in eaci country, and the results of the tw( surveys compared, there can obvious ly be nothing but random talking. English speaking people through out the world are constantly comin iito closer and closer relationship and this is especially true of the peo ple of Englandsand the United States Gradually it is being realized tha there can be no great difference be tween the standards of conduct and life so long as our civilization run parallel. This is particularly true o those who are interested in educa- tion in the two countries because It its from the educational institutionns of the nations that each may gain in- spirations and help to accomplish the desire results. Divent as the two systems may be, they are closely related in enough respects so that if the best phases of both may be combined, the result- ant will approach the perfect. There have been many reports made by English educators, and volumes written by American investigators, but they were not comprehensive enough to be satisfactory. They have dealt nore with the administrative features than the general conduct of the schools. There have been two dis- tinct attitudes prevalent in such sur- veys. The very patriotic Englishmen have noticed only the faults of some of our least satisfactory systems, While the same type of American ha's only compared the best of our schools with the worst of the English. Many statements have been made by peo- pIe of. both countries who were not actually qualified to comment on the school systems, but they were accept- ed as true.. The proposed study will deal with the intimate phases of both school systems, and it will be directed by a joint committee of educators from the representative schools in each coun- try. It cannot, however, be a com- plete success unless a sincere inter- est is manifest by all parties con- cerned. There must be full coopera- tion between the school officials and teachers of each country. In view of the fact that an opportunity is offered for a 'study of the vital prob- I lems of the two nations, the results. of which are certain to prove almost invaluable, it is to be hoped that edu- cators in both countries will do all in their power to make the study a complete succemss.
