CHUBB SUNDAY, JULY 26, 1931 G00D PSYCHOLOGY Thursday's Bargain Day was good psychology and Ann Arbor mer- hants must have known it. Results howed that people have money end will spend it when properly ap- proached. In spite of tons of pub- ment will be left free to help itself .cute emergency; that they all money kept in the sock is the prop- er procedure in times of depression. Bargain Day reminded us of war ays when pretty girls climbed a rung in a fire ladder every time someone in the crowd bought a Liberty Bond, but human nature being what it is, such methods have their good points. Ann Arbor ought to have Bargain Days frequently from now on until people begin to realize that normal and sensible buying will not land them in the poor-house. The depression will never end if the nation's purse- strings are to remain permanently tied. -0-.. 0ARELESSNESS Someone at the League permit- ted a lighted cigarette to drop be- tween two cushions of a red lounge Thursday night and the resulting fire destroyed enough of the up- holstery to ruin the appearance of a fine piece of furniture. The per- son responsible for this example of thoughtlessness may have been a' member of the University, may have been a citizen of Ann Arbor at- tending the theatre, but his or her carelessness is a matter to be pon- dered by all persons who attend the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre or enjoy the other privileges of the League. Smoking in all campus buildings was banned because of great fire hazard due to careless- ness. Let's not give the League just cause for following the example of the University in taking away our privilege to smoke in the building. ---o- IThat Others Say OASTED ROLL HERE WE ARE AGAIN WHAT'S GOING ON Only once before in the his- ' tory of our justly far-famed University and of the Daily, and { quite incidentally of that miser- ably ineffective stepchild for which it happens that we are doing this cplumn, the Summer Michigan Daily, has need aris- en for a campaign quite as ur- gent as the one we are about to propose. * * .* Back in the dim ante-deluvian days when Michigan was a UNI- VERSITY, Dan Baxter once launch- ed a campaign that WAS a cam- paign.

Jones, "The lence Campaign," was the only ap-ICulture of the High School Stu- EDUCA TIONAL REGIMENTA TION" i Dr. Frank Aydelotte, president of Swarthmore college, asserts that the present "regimentation" in col- leges under which the abler stu- dents are held back to the mental pace of the slowest, or even the average, defeats their own highest purposes. The result is, he says, that "we do not do our best by precise- ly that group of students for which our higher insticutons exist." Dr. Aydelotte has earned the right to speak on ths subject, for at Swarthmore the abler individual is given the opportunity to move on at a swifter pace. The "regimentation" idea is like- wise looked upon with disfavor at the University of Chicago, where President Hutchins would let the time spent by a student in college be determined not by the hours of credit gained but by his use of the opportunities offered him and by his own qualification for going forward. He might spend one year, or three or four. And at Johns Hop- kins, special provision has been made for geniuses. This tendency of putting whole groups through the same intellec- tual exercises has been described by those who see in the process the loss of the flower of the fruit of culture-the personality of the in- dividual in its highest expression. Regimentation has come to mean orderly formation, and champions of a process of individualized edu- cation see in it a dangerous ap- proach to "mass education" cam- parable to other products of this machine age. We sympathize with those who point to the wilting "flower of the fruit of culture" and we admire Drs. Aydelotte and Hutchins for their efforts to sort the wheat from the chaff in their respective stu- dent bodies, but we do not see how a painstaking sorting process could be made feasible in larger institu- tions under the present system of management-the only system, we hasten to add, that makes possible the control of student bodies that number from ten to fifteen thous- and each. Swarthmore is a smaller college and experiments of this kind are comparatively easy to car- ry on, but in any institution of a more unwieldly size; such individual treatment would be virtually im- possible unless the entire organi- zation were revolutionized. Such a revolution might prove worthwhile but we should like to observe its effects on the smaller colleges before advocating a dras- tic change in present methods. We believe in some sort of edu- cational standard. It gives the in- dividual something by which he may measure his ability. The solu- tion of the moron and the genius can be solved to a large degree by proper college entrance examina- tions, and different degrees of in- .. 4lic a inb~onr nh rnr ESULTS LONDON AT (New York Times) President Hoover, in summarizing the work so quickly done at the London conference, is generous in praise of the Ministers who loyal- ly cooperated in adopting a plan for the financial stability of Ger- many. He includes Premier Laval of France. There is glory enough for all. Mr. Hoover does not file any claim for the credit of originating the whole scheme, though it is clear that his proposals were in the main adopted. It is no time for the 'assertion of pride. of authorship. The President is apparently not in the least troubled by the differences between the statements issued by Secretary Stimson in London and those given out by the Department of State at Washington. If the Brit- ish did, as Mr. Stimson declared, have a good deal to do with both devising and shaping the plan ac- cepted, so much the better. The im- portant fact is that statesmen were summoned to London to meet an accuate emergency; that they all felt the need of acting rapidly; that they agreed upon the measures to which general consent was neces- sary, and left the others out; that they did, in fact, secure for Ger- many immediate relief from the fi- nancial strain under which she has been laboring and gave her time in which to turn round to decide what next ought to be done. Mr. Hoover himself is far from; assuming that the entire work of relief has been done. Only "sound foundations' have been laid. What is to be built upon them the next few months must determine. The conference clearly expects supple- mentary efforts to be made, for, in addition to the immediate exten- sion of the credit of $100,000,000 for a period of three months, and other forms of banking aid, it stipulated that a committee should be set up by the Bank of International Set- tlements to inquire into "'the fur- ther credit needs of Germany." Meanwhile, the German govern- ment will be left free to helf itself by every other means of negotia- tion open to it. France has joined with the other nations in putting funds at the disposal of the Reichs- hank b t ismr tha willin it peal to the Spartan stoicism of the true Michigan man (and woman too, so there) that even approached; the overwhelming proportions of our little appeal.

Being here. He's been here constantly now, day and night for two years, including vacations, so-called. Pltsch, Qudgqp, and the clock are the only really perman- ent fixtures in the place. Pltsch wants us to remind the Great Reading Public, and the Great Am- erican Middle Class especially, that the Rolls Washtenaw County One- Tenth Century Club is still recruit- ing members. That is, the Club is beginning to think about recruit- ing members. Both of us are. * * * Pltsch, who seems just a LITTLE anxious to keep himself in Rolls at least most of the time, insists that we make public a general Rolls in- vitation to an excursion to the new- ly discovered lake which nestles be- hind Natural Science building. As Our Readers will no doubt remem- ber, Pltsch himself (modest crea- ture) discovered this near-famous watering place by the simple exped- ient of walking into it one especial- ly dark night recently. The body of water, which is here- after to be known as Lake Whoofle, in honor of that celebrated family if local renown, is said to support the largest shipping on campus. Ad- vance reservations for a tour of the lake are being received by Rolls, inc.

Canoeing reaches another low ebb. * * * A GENTLEMAN OF PARTS A brand new novel of the great silences of the Northwest in 14- count 'em-14 installments wil be- gin in this space tomorrow. Modest little Pltsch Whoofle, author of this gripping tale of the great silences of the Northwest, wishes especial attention called to the fact that nu- merous postponements of the ap-; pearances of the first installment of this gripping tale of the great silences of the Northwest were due, not to an atack of amnesia as was previously reported but because he forgot. When questioned regarding his allegation, Pltsch is reported to have said, "There's nothing to it. I simply forgot."' Hoping your the same, Majestic: "Svengali," with John Barrymore.
