There was a time when the Fourth was termed glorious. Peo- ple gave a thought to its signifi- cance and celebrated appropriately. In the last decade, however, most of this patriotic sentiment has been destroyed by laws restricting per- sonal freedom, and a general wan- ing of interest in figures of our his- torical background. The old practice of disturbing the peace and blowing off fingers with fireworks represented something of the spirit of the day, but because of inevitable fatalities, this form is being legally ruled out. For the sake ofhumanity it is, of course, desirable, but nothing adequate has yet been substituted for this lib- erty. Waning interest in the men re- sponsible for Independence day has been brought about by history de- bunkers whose searching but un- admirable researches make George Washington's name synonymous with loose living, infer that Abra- ham Lincoln was mentally unbal- anced, and maintain that our Pil- grim fathers were sots, addicted to rum drinking and moral decay. It is refreshing to read reports of strenuous efforts to keep some of the more unnecessary details out of the hands of school children who will either build up or discard re- spect for our national figures. More attention should be paid to the sort of effort expended during the last three years by school children all over the country in restoring "Old Ironsides" to something of its for- ,mer glory. This type of historical monument will go a long way to- ward keeping historical traditions on a plane commensurate with its value. Because of growing antipathy in- duced by our modern civilization the Fourth of July has come more and more to mean merely a day's vacation from work, a chance to play golf on crowded course, an opportunity to swim at bathing beaches jam-packed with hot hu- manity and scattered picnic lunch- es, an excuse to become alcoholi- cally merry, and an occasion to march in feebe parades witnessed by persons who like band music but have no idea of the words to The Star Spangled Banner. The celebration of the Fourth per se is not to be held in con- tempt, but the present method of observing the holiday leaves much to be desired. It is to be hoped that in time the Fourth will be reformed into something akin to a1 sensible holiday, observed by meth- ods that are Safe and Sane- an expression that means little to mil- lions of Americans and yet means evervthing n their welfare. -o Editorial Comment Liberal Minded (The Purdue Exponent) Liberal, unbiased judgment should be one of the highest goals in the process of education. A university should be a means to attain this goal, but is often is not. There seems to have been a time, quite some while ago, when a university education implied that the individ- ual receiving it had delved into the heart of things, and that by this delving deeply he had gained in- sight, understanding, and a liberal outlook. His mind had been devel- open by long reading and long thinking in a monastic atmosphere that had made such things possi- ble. This student of old lived sim- ply and wh'en he finally terminated his career at the university he had a mind almost wholly matured and capable of logical thinking. Obviously this method of secur- ing a liberal mind has been com- pletely replaced by a method (or can it be classed thus?) which is the exact antithesis. It is extreme- ly doubtful whether two such op- posite means can reach the same goal. Is there anything in our cur- riculum, anything in our university environment which is conducive of deep thinking, uninterrupted study, or above all silent solitude? How then can we hope to reach a clear soutlook if we are mired in triviali- ties? How is deep penetration pos- sible if our minds are filled with superficialities? A university education should not be a process of conforming; it should not be a submerging of per- sonality. It should be the reverse. Instead of smothering individuality under the weight of crowd dicta- tion, it should foster and cultivate it as the one thing worth while. Instead of being dissolved, a per- sonality should be resolved. But how in this confusion we frequently miscall education can this result be attained? What place have ac- tivities, organizations, clubs, ath- letics, and social affairs in this seri- ous business of education? A wholesome limitation of these might not be objectionable, as the present excess is not compatible with real education. Let's Have a Real Fight (The Daily Iowan) Once again the ballyhooers have glossed over the unsatisfactory as- pects of the past enough to stage another "battle of the century" for the world's heavyweight boxing championship. Despite long counts, "foul" deci- sions, bicycle tactics, and "scientif- ic" boxing, there are plenty of peo- ple who still have hope of seeing again the old style slug-fest that once characterized the pathway to the heavy-weight championship. American ballyhooers are the best in the world, and they are more than able to compensate for the past deficiencies of Stribling and Max Schmeling's readiness to be fouled, by playing on the interna- tional aspect of the July 3 set-to. Schmeling has taken the crown away from America, therefore ev- ery loyal citizen owes it to his coun- try to buy a fight ticket and cheer for Stribling even though he might bet on Schmeling, is the theme of their music. Overlooking the ridiculous lengths to which such propaganda is car- ried, the public is entitled to an honest-to-goodness fight when the two giants enter the ring Friday. Furthermore the country has got- ten to a place where it demands a real mixup for its money if it is to continue supporting professional boxing. Let those who will profit by the fight lure the buyers of tickets to the box office by any reasonable means, but whatever happens, let there be a first rate fight for the fans' money. Ballyhoo has roused the jaded in- terest of the public for one more time; if this final test is a failure, million dollar gates will fall into obscurity of history even though there might be a dozen potential Jack Dempseys ready to put on a real show in years to come. The lovely co-ed who thinks the moratorium is a place where they bury the dead is not so dumb. Add to Ripley's collection: Post and Gatty left Khabarovsk Monday at 5 p. m. and landed near Nome at 9-4 n .m the samed av? lOASTED ROLL BACKi ON THE JOB AGAIN Fortunately, the whole Wnoofie family was overcome yesterday whie delivering ice, so tuat they will not be on nand to indite tisl usual Rolls column. (That's notj the way to spell that-Ed.) (Wno's writing this column, anyway? El- mer.) Anyway, little Dick Rover crashed through with a poem, which is pery appropriate. You know, the Whoofes are a fun-lov- ing crowd. The Doctor was watch- ing the excavations over on State Street the other day, and it appears that all the workmen had parked their cars nearby while working. (No, pardon me, before working.) Anyway, he thought it would be an, excellent joke on them to pull out1 all the choke-rods on the Fords, bend them down, and leave. Yes, he left in a hurry. Charly Hoyt is looking for him. He needs a good two-miler for next fall. Oh yes, the poem. We almost forgot about it. Now they're cutting down The Daily; Just four pages until fall. Maybe they won't need a Rolls Column It's a fine world after all. Although Post and Gatty may have performed a miracle by get- ting around the world in eight days, the Rolls Editorial Board has awarded them the annual Booby prize for .leaving Alaska in weather like this. Just think of all that good ice going to waste up there. Who is little Yvonne Fagan? Dear me, I thought that we had disposed of that during the school year. But embarrassing questions do pop up at such inopportune moments. Anyway, the Rolls silver Joe Zilch medal is still unclaimed, and anyone who identifies the young lady in question can have it. Our neighboring columns, we see by this morning's paper, are as dead as usual. But how they ever .had the temerity to print that campus opinion in re the journalism de- partment versus The Daily was as- tounding. As everyone knows, the journalism department doesn't think much of The Daily, and vice- versa. After all, this column is the only one that counts at all. IGNORE THE MAY FESTIVAL. Shades of Zeus, another dis- ease recurring again. We got so tired concentrating on ig- noring the May Festival last year, that it got so that we went around the streets muttering under our breaths "I WILL ig- nore the May Festival; I WILL ignore the May Festival" so that everyone thought we were de- mented. (You probably are- Ed.) (Oh you think, so do you? Elmer.) And another thing, if that edi- tor doesn't stop putting in slurs in this here my column, I will resign. That, what will you do about that? (Accept. Ed). "~ ... Picture of Elmer Talking to the, Editor Oh yes, we almost forgot. To- morrow is the Fourth! Just thinly of that. But everything will be all right. Sunday will be the fifth, so we just can't do anything about it. We might even go over and step on the library seal, just out of pure spite, but the library won't be open. We might even bolt classes, but there aren't any classes anyway. We haven't enough money to buy boot- legged- firecrackers, so what can we do to be real wicked? Nothing. Oh, dear, the futility of life. Ho hum. We wonder what 1 the printer thinks of when, he sets up this column. (Nothing -printer.) We'll bet he thinks it's pretty funny. So I guess we'll end up for today with an other nice poem, especially written, copyrighted and print- ed for the Rolls Column. Skies above are hot and sultry Down below the earthworms crawl; Maybe they will eat somebody Maybe it would be a fine worldI after all.{ That's all for today. Hence to the3 ice water.s Elme Gantrv Screen Reflections The summer screen season open- ed this year with two excellent shows at the local theatres, "Men Call It Love" at the Michigan, and "The Tarnished Lady" at the Ma- jestic. (Last performance today.) Both offer entertainment for the first part of the week end, and it should be unnecessary to mention the 70 degree temperature as an added feature. AT THE MAJESTIC Tallulah Bankhead, who, accord- ing to press reports, created no lit- tle sensation on the London stage, made her screen debut in "Tarnish- ed Lady" and proves that she can do equally well in the pictures. The story starts out with the old situa- tion of the daughter whose mother wants her to marry for money, but from there on the plot is new and entertaining. Miss Bankhead, and opposite her the suave Clive Brook, carry the entire picture very well. We were afraid at the beginning that the whole thing would rather sag in the middle, but the two prin- cipals kept the interest in the play every minute. The lines were good, and found Mr. Brook in a not-so- debonnair part as compared to those in which he is accustomed to playing. Miss aBnkhead's apparent indifference to the world and its ways, her intense desire to do the right thing, and her frank speeches were admirably done. This new star presents a curious melange of the languid Greta Garbo, the vivacious Nancy Carroll, and the tempera- mental Norma Shearer, and she ap- parently can adapt herself to any situation or role which comes her way. The Lowell Thomas feature was better than usual, but we wish-oh how we wish-that he would soon finish that round-the-world jaunt of his. AT THE MICHIGAN On Liberty street, the younger married set, with the aid of Adolphe Menjou, Norman Foster, Mary Dun- can and Leila Hyams, show what Dame Rumor, coupled with man- hunting wives, can do to marriages. The picture opens with the young married couple, portrayed by Nor- r:". .4:: man Foster and Leila Hyams, pur- sued by Adolphe Menjou and Mary Duncan. As the story unfolds it- self, Miss Hyams undertakes to get even with her husband for his sup- posed marital infidelities by hav- ing an affair of her own. At last the bubble bursts, and peace and harmony reign as the picture closes. Although Menjou is featured as the star, he is forced to share the spotlight with the other three prin- cipals mentioned above. We see him in the role of the bachelor- golfer, whose interests lie not alto- gether on the links. But Norman Foster and Mary Duncan complete- ly steal his thunder. As the young husband, Foster is at times impul- sive, sheepish, loving, or non-cha- demands, while Miss Duncan, al- though somewhat handicapped by a dyspeptic hus- band, manages to lose him enough of the time to steal other wo- men's more or less faithful spouses. Miss Hyams is not as successful as she might have been in the part MARY DUNCAN bof the wife, being at times bril- liant, sometimes rather dull. All in all, we suspect that the gay life of fashion led by the actors in the play may not be altogether true to today, but that did not keep us from enjoying the whole thing, from beginning to end. COMING ATTRACTIONS "Indiscreet," featuring Gloria Swanson, opens tomorrow at the Majestic, while "Public Enemy" fol- lows the present picture at the Michigan Sunday. For the benefit of our new patrons-new movies be- gin at the Majestic on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at the Michigan on Thursdays and Sundays.
