SAYS PROF.SCHN
PROFESSOR ALBERT SCHINZ
ADVOCATES SELECTIONS
OF ACADEMIES
120 TO CHOOSE FROM
Printing Houses Have Complicated
Matters by Flooding Market
With Countess Books
The chief difficulty in attempting
to read the contemporary French
novel intelligently is, in the opin-
ion of Professor Albert Schinz, of
the University of Pennsylvania, that
of choosing just what to read.
In his lecture, "The Contempor-
ary Novel in France," at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in Natural
Science auditorium, Professor
Schinz stressed this point and re-
marked that printing houses were
publishing so many novels that
choosing only what was worth
while in this field was becoming a
real problem.1
As an aid for selection Pofessor
Schinz suggested his own method
for meeting this difficulty. He
reads mostly those books which
have been awarded prizes by the
various French academies and the
literary societies. Inasmuch as
there are about 1120 of these, the
problem is very greatly simplified
and he has found that over 60 per
cent of those novels which have
been awarded prizes are read and
enjoy great popularity even as late
as 10 years after the date of the
original publication.
Awards for Merit
In particular there are the
French Academy, The Concourt
Academy, and the Prix Femina
which gives awards for literary
merit. The Goncourt and the Fe-
mina prizes, said Schin, work in
opposition to each other. They
both award prizes on the same day,
and the Goncourt prize is restrict-
ed to men only, where as the Prix
Femina will honor both men and
,women. The French Academy so
far has awarded prizes to only two
women.
In his lecture Professor Schinz
divided the Contemporary novel in-
to two groups, the continuation of
the pre-war tendencies and the
newer tendencies.
SIMPSON HURT IN
DENVER TRYOUTS
(By Associated Press)
DENVER, Colorado, July 2.-
George Simpson, Ohio State sprint-
er and holder of the unofficial
world's record of 9.4 seconds for the
100 yard dash, sprained a tendon'
in his right leg while practicing at
the Denver University stadium this
afternoon.
His coach, Dr. Frank Castleman,
said the sprinter would probably be
withdrawn from the Natinal Track
and Field championships that are
to be run off her Thursday.
Simpson's injury is similar {to,
the one he recently received at the
Big Ten meet in Chicago. Today's
workout was the first that he has
had since this meet. The Ohio
State sprinter came here to defend
his title of the fastest human in
the world. The inability of Simp-
son to run will leave the honor
open to Bracey of Texas, and Tolan
of Michigan. The failure of Simp-
son to compete will detract muchI
in the way of sensation.
Music School Offers

For those who enjoy the classical
type of music, the School of Mu-
sic is offering six more Faculty
Concerts. These recitals will take
place every Tuesday evening at
auditorium starting at 8 o'clock.
Although the program has riot
been definitely fixed, the artists;
for these concerts are the out-
standing members of the faculty in

Education Professors
To Meet At Mackinac
Professor Cleo Murtland and Pro-
fessor George E. Myers, both of the
I faculty of the education school, will
be among the principal speakers
at the national convention of the
National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's clubs
which is to be held Thursday, July
11, at Mackinac Island.
Professor Murtland will discuss
the problem of vocational guidance
in the smaller. cities, and Professor
Myers will take the same subject as
applied to the rural community.
As a result of the increased at-
tention recently given by educators
to the vocational guidance prob-
lem, various professional and busi-
ness associations have begun a
study of the subject, as evidenced
by the study being done by the
Federation of guidance as prac
ticedi in typical communities.

A Review By William J Gorman
Before a large crowd in Hill Au-
ditorium last night, Mabel Ross
Rhead, pianist, and Kathryn Gute-
kunst, contralto, gave one of the
most entertaining concerts of the
whole, faculty series this year. .
Mrs. Rhead opened the concert
with the "Etudes Symphoniques" of
Schumann. This is one cf the fin-
est sets of variations in all piano
literature; Schumann, following
the later Beethoven style, aban-
doned the ornamental-melody type
of treatment of the variation form
and conceived it solely as a means
of bringing out all the musical
phases of a harmonic and melodic
structure. It was then a perfect
vehicle for soulful poetizing; and!
Schumann gave it rich, vital music.
Mrs. Rhead's rendering was bril-
liant and satisfying; it hadn't the

ships for women who have accom-

She emphasized the importance
of giving more attention to fellow-
ships and less to scholarships, since
these would benefit a more highly
selected group. The association
has set $1,000,000 for its goal, one-;
half to be used in the international)
