French Political
Crisis Discussed
By Dr. Siegfried
Educational
Says 'Balance Of Parties'
Caused Unworkability Of
Present Government
Explains Changes
Of Leftist Regime
Political Science Expert
Gives Special Lecture
Before Large Crowd
By THOMAS H. KLEENE
The attainment of "a balance of
parties" in France was blamed for
the "unworkability" of the French
system of government yesterday by
Dr. Andre Siegfried, internationally-
known authority on politics.
Speaking be-ore one of the largest
audiences ever to assemble in Natural
Science Auditorium, Dr. Siegfried
presented his "key" to the "very com-
plicated situation" now existing in
the political life of France. The sub-
ject of the lecture was "French Pol-
itics and French Parties."
The former member of the Cham-
ber of Deputies described the present
government as. resembling "a boat
which is rolling." "The French gov-
ernment," he said, "is continually
shifting from one position to the
other." . Neither the adherents of the
"left" nor the reactionaries of the
"right" are satisfied when the center
of gravity is on the other side.
New Development Made
During the last 15 years, according
to Dr. Siegfried, there has been one
nlew development which has changed
political life considerably. "The in-
terests of the right have suffered
from the policies of the left," he said.
The aristocrats and royalists of
the right charge that, under the
present adineistat'or of the left,
which represents the spirit of the
revolution in 1789, the taxes have
been high, the budget has not been
balanced, and the members of their
party have not been well treated, he
said.
"The real strength of the French-
man," Dr. Siegfried stated, "is not as
a citizen or a party man, but in his
political individuality and his devo-
tion to his family first and his country
second."
This same "political individuality"
is the "gift of the devil," however, be-
cause there can be no party discipline
whatever when every member claims
a right to his own opinion. "The
Frenchman is a patriot devoted to his
country, but he is a bad man to or-
ganize a program," the speaker said.
Cites Further Danger
Continuing his discussion of the
"unworkability" of the government,
Dr. Siegfried cited the fact that
"every political question is turned to
a principle" as a further danger.
"Thd primary interest of the people
is not politics," he said, "but the
principles and formulae. involved
therein." If there is a strike or a riot,
every rioter or striker will know what
it is all about and the issues to be
considered, Dr. Siegfried explained.
In distinguishing between the left
and right politically, the speaker de-
scribed the former as standing for
"the rights of the individual and the
sovereignty of suffrage." It is op-
posed by those who are not in sympa-
thy with the spirit of the revolution.
"The danger of a reaction to the
revolution has always been felt and
has always been feared by the 'Men
of 1789,' "he said.
Country of Culture
Dr. Siegfried stated that French
politics may be very complicated, but
they can be understood. France, he
said, "is a country of culture which
does not always mean good govern-
ment." "
Explaining the complexity of the
government, the speaker said, France
is not like any other country. "It is
a western country in Europe," Dr.
Siegfried declared. From the point
of view of culture and civilization, it
can be classified with western coun-
tries like the United States and Great
Britain with their common love for
liberty.
Two other features of this "atmos-
phere of France" cited by the speaker
are that it is a continental countr3
turning away from extra-European
expansion and also a Mediterranear
country having a close tie with the
BULLETIN
POINTE AUX BARQUES,
July 17.- (AP) - Robert Paton,
three-year-old son of Prof. Wil-
liam Paton of the University of
Michigan, was fatally injured here
today when he was struck by an
automobile being operated in re-
verse gear by Miss Helen Holmes.
Italian Troops,
Planes Poured
IntoEthiopia
Officials Believe Italy Will
Reject League Of Nations
Proposal
ROME, July 17. --{P) - Italy
poured troops and planes into Af-
rica and Ethiopia drilled her tribal
warriors today in preparation for ex-
pected hostilities as efforts to avert
war - repeatedly called futile here -
continued.
A spokesman for the Government
said Italy had received no notice of
the League of Nations announcement
that the council would meet in special
session about July 25 to consider the
Italo-Ethiopian crisis.
Italy will not consider her reply
to an invitation until it arrives, he
said. Well-informed circles believe
that Italy will oppose any further ef-
forts to handle the situation through
the League. Press and officials alike
have said repeatedly the League can
do nothing."
Dispatches from Addis Ababa .re-
porting increased Ethiopian military
preparations followed yesterday's
publication of dispatches from Cairo
describing in great detail the African
empire's asserted feverish efforts to
get ready for war.
Offsetting Ethiopia's reported prep-
arations was Italy's announced pro-
gram of large scale aerial warfare
against Emperor Haile Selassie's
country.
Three hundred planes will aid the
tens of thousands of foot soldiers al-
ready designated for East African ser-
vice, the national aviation services
disclosed with Gen. Geuseppe Valle,
under-secretary for air, probably
commanding them.
A government spokesman, however,
said Italy, though keenly aware of
Ethiopia's military preparation, had
not considered immediate severance
of diplomatic relations with the Af-
rican nation. That will come up if
and when hostilities start, he said.
Reports from London quoting Mal-
colm MacDonald, colonial secretary,
as saying British military forces in
Kenya, adjoining Ethiopia and Ital-
ian Somaliland, had been "partially
redistributed" in view of "possible
contingencies on that frontier" were
characterized as without significance.
Major League Standings
Diagnosis Is
On New Path
Warren Good Sees Many
Changes Following In
Wake Of Modernism
Utopian School Of
DeweyAnticipated
Pupil's Interests And Not
School Subjects To Be
Concern, He Says
The path of educational diagnosis,
changing as new and modern schools1
bring changes in educational meth-1
ods, is slowly swinging from an an-1
alysis of school subjects to an an-1
alysis of the pupil's interests, War-
ren R. Good, instructor in educational1
psychology, said at the afternoon con-
ference of the School of Education1
yesterday.
The "Utopian School" - in which
there are no classes, no grades, no
courses, no marks, no curriculums -
visualized by John Dewey, will sweept
away old methods and interests of
educational diagnosis as surely as it
will sweep away other old-fashioned
scholastic dictums, he stated.
To Survey Activities
"The trend of modern education
appears clearly to be toward Dewey's
Utopian schools," he declared, "even
if the pace seems to be appreciably
slower than that of the proverbial
snail."
When the Utopian goal is realized
the educational diagnostician "will1
no doubt be very much less concerned
with what we now consider the
school subjects and will, contrasting-
ly, be very much more concerned with
interests," the speaker said.
He will probably stimulate surveys
of various activities to determine their
drawing power, as activities that in--.
terest young peodle, and will attempt
to discover the causes of lack of in-
terest in the valued activities that
have little drawing power, Mr. Wood
declared.
"It mayrconfidently be expected,
furthermore, that the diagnostician
of the future will look for the trouble,
not in the pupil, as we do mostly at
present, but in the activity," he said.
Tests Gain Impetus
Use of tests and other records of
the school to ascertain the causes of
pupils' failures or learning difficul-
ties, Mr. Wood stated, has gained im-
petus in the last few years, but thus
far the procedures used have been
concerned chiefly with analytic uses.
Studies of teachers atitudes in re-
cent years toward the import of "of-
fenses" of pupils in school disclosed
that writing obscene notes, destroy-
ing school materials, lying, heterosex-
ual activity, and truancy were con-
sidered most serious, the speaker re-
ported.
Radical disagreement by 30 clini-
cians, including psychologists, psy-
chiatrists, and other specialists in be-
havior problems, was reported how-
ever, in a survey made a few years
ago, Mr. Good declared.
The clinicians rated as compara-
tively unimportant the "offenses"
which the teachers held to be most
grave, and instead, felt that most
serious problems were presented by
shyness, bullying, cruelty, unsociable-
ness, and similar traits.
The outlook for educational diag-
nosis, stated Mr. Good, will be in-
creasingly modified in the direction
forseen by the clinicians, and more
broadly so as schools evolve towards
the Utopian type.

100 Ann Arbor Youths Enjoy
Camping At Patterson Lake
By J. SHELLEY MATTES
More than 100 Ann Arbor boys,
many of whom are having the most
enjoyable vacation of their life in
their first taste of outdoor living, are
spending their summer at the Uni-
versity of Michigan Camp for Boys.
All that is requisite for a well-le
anced, character-building existence is
in the daily program of the camp.
The camper starts the day with a
dip in Patterson Lake, 25 miles north-
west of Ann Arbor on the edge of the
camp.
His morning may be taken up by
work or play, but one can be sure
that he will not devote too much time
to work. All the same, he does learn
to work when he is told to and
'amn nirector George G. Alder
The dilatory ones receive constant re-
joinders to work from their more am-
bitious mates, all of which adds to the
fun.
Perhaps the greatest social ad-
vantage the boys derive from the Uni-
versity Camp is their enhanced ability
in mingling with boys they have
never seen before. At first, the Camp
officials say, the campers are slightly
reticent, but soon the Ann Arbor
boys are bosom pals with the Detroit
boys, etc. And they must and do get
along with everyone, giving in when
it is their turn and taking a practcial
joke on themselves as campers should
The camp administration is han-
dled by a committee composed of
Ann Arbor men, among whom are
many of the University faculty.
