The monkey wrench in the French political machine is the same that has been playing havoc with it for some time-the payment of America's debt. The latest controversy on the subject, the Mellon-Berenger debt agree- ment, seems to have resolved itself into a battle of wits between the premier and the opposition party known as the Left wing, with the premier holding a slight advantage in favor of a ratification. It is perhaps unfortunate that America cannot present a solid front of opinion on the debt ques- tion, for that might result in more agreement on the other side of the Atlantic. As things now stand Washington has expressed itself firmly for payment of the war debt, whereas, other organizations and individuals in the United States have voiced views to the effect that much more benefit would result from a cancellation of all these debts. Whatever the correct belief, this division in America has given heart to both parties on the ques- tion in the sister republic, and has resulted in one of the most acute crisis since the war. However, it is more than prob- able that Premier Poincare will be able to get out of his difficulties, for he has more than an ordinary advantage of his opponents in his ability and experience, in the strong support he now seems to be getting from a powerful group of French newspapers, and in the imminent danger that France will be thrown into a political and economic chaos if his control is wrested from him. ALONG THE ARCTIC CIRCLE The advantages of the northern route to Europe which the 'Untin Bowler is taking would seem to make it the most practical path- way across the Atlantic. The flight has been planned with unusual care, and if it is attended with success, will certainly be an enor- mous stimulus to trans-Atlantic flying. Chief among the advantages is the existence of frequent landing places along the way which can be used for fueling and resting stops. In time these could be de- veloped into stations of considera- ble size. The project of adding large airplane carriers to the train of stopping places, which was dis- cussed last year, might make this route safer yet. Another advantage, which has been shown by meterologists in their surveys of weather conditions in the northern area, is the pres- ence of almost continuous tail- winds for half the distance each way from continent to continent. The very complete reports which have been, made on atmospheric conditions along the arctic circle will add to the immediate impor- tance and safety of the route. Excluding the enormous benefits nection with Europe by air, the continued use of the northern path would mean the opening up of hitherto undeveloped areas of land in Canada and to the east. This development has been retarded by the inability of man to penetrate the northern wildernesses but with the channels of commerce turning in that direction, a new impetus will be given it. Of course, practically all state- ments as to the future effect of this project can be little but spec- ulation. The immediate results will be closer relations with Eur- ope and a fleet of planes follow- ing in the wake of the 'Untin Bow- ler. And whatever may be the fate of this pioneer along the nor- thern air-lane, flight will mark the beginning of a new effort to estab- lish a safe route for the journey to Europe by plane. MORE COURTESY NEEDED It has been called to our atten- tion that some of those attending' the University lectures in Natural Science Auditorium have shown discourtesy to the speakers by talk- ing and whispering during the lec- tures and by leaving the auditor- ium noisily. If it is necessary to leave early, it is suggested that care be taken that the seat-arms do not clatter and that the footsteps are not any louder than can be helped. The situation can be bet- tered considerably if those expect- ing to leave early will take seats near the exits. Whispering and talking while the lecture is being given is certainly not an evidence of good-breeding, and gives visiting speakers a poor impression of the University and its students. __o Ann Arbor's Fourth of July cele- brants hewed close to the ground throughout the day, letting the chips fall where they may, which may be attributed either to the new state law enacted against the sale of fireworks or to the natural ennui of the season. Editorial Comment THE NEWER METHOD (From The Indiana Daily Student) It is becoming more and more necessary for a teacher to complete a four-year college course. There was a time when attendance at a normal school with a professed function to impart a knowledge of teaching methods qualified one to teach in any school. Today the public demands a teacher who has a b:oad background of general cul- ture and knowledge in addition to his ability to impart mere petty learning. This added quality may not help directly in the teacher's work, but it will lend him so many I sub-advantages that its value can not be estimated. The trend of having teachers with college degrees takes away the nar- rowly professional characteristics of the school teacher. In place, we have a higher and more complete comprehension of teaching as a dis- tinctive profession, one which de- mands a fulsome outlook on life as a complete panorama. The fact that a teacher in train- ing is taking a number of theory and method courses will change his attitude toward the more general courses he pursues in the universi- ty. He will regard them with the eyes of a prospective teacher rather than the naivete of the arts stu- dent. He will find in them a help-! fulness in his profession which the highly specialized courses of the I old-fashioned normal school never offered. He will find his liberal arts courses a professional complement to his more specific teaching cours- es. George H. Shafer, a Connecticut educator, says, "The liberal arts college must give control of life values, but it need not make the *student conscious of the values of specific subject matter in bringing about these controls. The teach- er, on the other hand, must not' only acquire these controls, as such, but must also learn to view sub- ject matter-arithmetic, geography, literature-as instruments of con- trol." Educators are realizing more and more that a four-year college course is essential to make a suc- cessful teacher. They realize, too, that this cultural training must be linked well with the specialized courses. Thus, reviewing what the think- ing educators of the country have to say about the newer methods of training teachers, one realizes that the teachers enrolled in the sum- mer session have an advanced view toward their chosen profession. Success surely will be theirs for they have an enlightened attitude to- o 0 Music And Drama o 0 TONIGHT: The Michigan Re- pertory Players present "Es- cape" by John Galsworthy, in Mendelssohn Theater, begin- ning at 8:15 o'clock. NAIVELY, BITTER AND SWEET SPIDER KIN, by Forman Brown; 1929, Robert Packard & Co. $2.00. RED KITES and WOODEN CROSES; by Rosa Zagnoni Mar- noni; 1929, Robert Packard & Co. $2.00. For those wno rind the rush of angels' wings in the sigh of the breeze through spider webs, For- man Brown's volume should be the captured echo of the "Vast Infer- red." His Muse is a fragile spirit; and it is a little to be feared that his awe at her fragility has hin- dered his empetuous wooing. Her revenge has been the tenuosity both of line and substance that mars this frequently brilliant col- lection. "For rhymes have neither lips nor breath nor fingers warm and kind, and beauty, when it weaves too mad a dance, like love, is blind." Brown occasionally achieves the ecstasy here suggested, but success has come from a descriptive sense highly naive in its objectivity and widely ranged in observation and then only on occasions that have made slender demands of his sty- listic talent. Death In Winter "The snow was white as satin, the moon was white as lawn, the sky was like a matin rehearsed before the dawn. The river shone like jasper saverthe jagged mark where water was a vesper mumbled in the dark. But in cases where naivete of ob- servation has led to some startling figures, the same naivete in atti- tude has only brought about the rather plaintive "wondering" that has been characteristic of our mi- nor prophets of the Muse, without a compensating vigor of expression. But if Brown's naivete suffers from lack of vigor, Mme Marinoni's certainly does not; which is to im- pute the same attitude of mind to the lady as that to be found in Mr. Brown's verses, with this dif-f ference, that Brown's preoccupa- tion is with things of the senses: "The days of beauty are not gone, for I can tremble still at bluets in a flannel lawn and tansy on a hill." while Mme. Marinoni epitomizes* herself in "Junk Shop:" "My heart is a junk shop Wherein are heaped The dusty glances, distorted de- sires, Broken hopes, and rusty dreams, Of the men who have loved me." -literary entities and idea frag- ments which she tops off, bravely, with the couplet- "Do not peer into my junk shop, Lest you spy a bit of yourself." But the vigor of her irony has not led her far into a vigorous in- quiry into the tissue of life, (from which she loves to choose a fiber and anatomize it.) SAND "Her hair is the color of sand- Her clothes are drab, like sand- Her voice grates, like sand. As I see her sit Impassionately in a chair, Her hands folded on her lap, I wonder about the rapids That have washed over her E Before she became sand. . " Which would seem to be a little too much about the rapids and not enough of the rush of water that does make sand. But if the lash of irony leads to good things, it also leads beyond them, ending up in the epigrammatic epitaph: "Life is a pencil sharpener It consumes while sharpening." The irony hides an essentially ro- mantic spirit. Mme Marinoni likes to picture herself and her verse like a lash;" "My words drop on pink paper with the crash Of broken dishes hurled to an ash can. My verse is no caress, rather a lash That curls about the strutting limbs of man." Mr. William Stanley Braithwaite calls this quatrain "her intellectual credo around which she wraps a poetic irony." And continues to identify her poetic operations With, "her dreaming is as a lover of hu- manity rather than as a rapturous celebrant of amorous moods; and that is why she shoots so many ar- rows of Puckish wit."
