ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JLUY 3, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS INTELECTSSU l REDPRIE NVL 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 Frank Castleman, said the sprinter would probably be withdrawn from the Natinal Track and Field championships that are to be run off her Thursday.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.

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 in building up funds for fellow- ships for women who have accom- plished definite research work.
