He next suggested a slogan, "Every teacher a good English teacher," for, he said, every teacher is, at least in- directly, some sort of a teacher of English. "If he accepts slovenly read- ing and slovenly reporting, he will be a bad teacher," Professor Thorpe said. The "fallacy" of expecting a student to develop his mastery of English when he is "in the English classroom only one-fifth or one-sixth of the school day" was questioned by the speaker. He pointed out that most subjects have a special technical vo- cabulary which must first be learned, and, even more important, that good English practices are, above all, more a matter of practice. Professor Thorpe expressed his be- lief that the important principle of English is often forgotten in many schools, and criticized the fashion of making "the right and effective use of language a habit only in the Eng- lish classroom, and put off, like a troublesome garment, once that room is left behind" The specific obligation of the Eng- lish teacher, as Professor Thorpe stated it, is to lead students to know and appreciate good literature. He mildly criticized the introduction into English courses of books about civics and industry, remarking that though they may be valuable, they are not calculated to lead to devotion to Shakespeare, Thackeray, Galsworthy, or any one of a thousand others. Report Shows Crime Record Less For 1934 Decrease In Convictions, Prosecutions For First 6 Months Seen By Rapp According to a report issued by Prosecutor Albert J. Rapp, a record of 357 convictions were made of 399 persons held for criminal action dur- ing 1934 to July 1. Of the 42 not convicted, the report shows, 10 were acquitted, seven nolle prossed, four dismissed upon payment of costs, and 21 dismissed upon pre- liminary examination becaue of in- sufficient evidence to warrant trial in circuit court. The summary for the first six months of this year shows that both the number of those held for criminal action and convictions made has de- creased over a like period for 1933. At the latter time there were 393 convictions made out of 443 prosecu- tions, a relative decrease of 36 con- victions and 44 prosecutions, re- spectively. In the report, Prosecutor Rapp ex- plained that he has handled 3,970 cases of criminal action, since his term of office began on Jan. 1, 1931. Of these cases, he has obtained 3,520 convictions, according to the state- ment made in the report. Only one murder was listed among the cases for this year's first six months' period. The murderer, Wil- liam Jasinski, is now "serving a life term in Jackson State prison. Seven others were sent to Jackson, one to the Michigan Reformatory at Ionia, and two to the Criminal Insane Hos- pital, also at Ionia. Focal Points Of General Strike In San Francisco Everhardus Leading Halfbacks; Wistert LosingIn All-Star Poll --Associated Press Photo This airview of San Francisco's waterfront, starting point of trouble which developed into a general strike, shows several of the major spots which have figured in strike activity. Two were killed in outbreaks near the ferry building. The Embarcadero has been the area where national guardsmen have concentrated in efforts to prevent violence. Herman Everhardus, the "Flying Dutchman" of Michigan football, leaped ahead in the voting for the all-star grid team which is to meet the Chicago Bears August 31 in com- putations released yesterday by The Chicago Tribune, which is conduct- ing the poll with associated news- papers. Local fans may send selections of an eleven-man team composed of 1934 graduates to The Daily or to the All- Star Game Editor, The Chicago Trib- une. The balloting closes July 25 and a contest to select a college coach to direct the squad will be held later. The all-star squad of 27 will go into training at Northwestern University August 15. Everhardus went ahead of Nick Lu- kats of Notre Dame and Beattie Fea- thers of Tennessee in an overnight gain of 5,500 votes, and now has 12,162 votes. Lukats has 11,995 and Feathers 10,649. Petoskey Gains Ted Petoskey was another Wolver- ine to gain, advancing in the voting for end to third place, displacing Can- rinus of St. Mary's. Smith of Wash- ington advanced to first with 12,577 ahead of Skladany of Pittsburgh with 12,366. Petoskey has 11,342 votes and Canrinus 8,255. Ed Manske of Northwestern dropped to sixth place. Whitey Wistert dropped a place in the balloting for tackle, behind Moose Krause of Notre Dame and Schwam- mel of Oregon State. Wistert has 8,857 while Krause has an overwhelm- ing lead of 17,776 and Schwammel 10,242. Jack Torrance, the Louisiana, State track star, came up to follow Wistert in the voting with 7,301 votes. In the voting for center, Chuck Bernard failed to keep apace with the other leaders, but still maintaineda a decided edge over his nearest com- petitor, Gorman of Notre Dame. Ber- nard has 12,873 and the Irish star 9,804. Sauer Is Ahead Despite the fact that George Sauer of Nebraska will probably be unable to play because of an appendicitis operation, the plunging Cornhusker swept far ahead in the voting for fullback and piled up a total vote which leads all candidates for the squad, 19,526. In Los Angeles, Howard Jones, the University of Southern California grid coach, conducted a poll of his students in summer coaching school, and the results show only one Wol- verine, Chuck Bernard, as, a leading choice. The coaches casting votes repre- sent 13 states in the midwest, far- west and Hawaii. Four midwest states are represented. The results of the Jones' poll fol- lowed rather closely the general re- sults of the nationwide poll. At the ends Skladany, Smith and Canrinus were closely bunched, and at tackle Krause led Schwammel. At the guards Rosenberg of South- ern California and Corbus of Stan- ford were heavy favorites in about the same relation as they are favored in the nationwide poll. In the na- tionwide poll Rosenberg has 14,537 and Corbus 9,951 votes, although Bert Schammel of Iowa has crept between the two coast stars with 13,010. Bernard led the centers in the Jones' poll, and at halfback Herman Everhardus trailed McNeish, South- ern California, Feathers, and Lukats, although all were bunched closely. Sauer reasserted his popularity in the coaches' poll, showing a big lead over Mikulak of Oregon. Because Sauer will not be able to play, coast fans are suggesting one of A. A. Stagg's products at the College of the Pacific, Tom Wilson, as a halfback possibility. One coast expert suggests that Ho- mer Griffith of Southern California, who is following Paul Pardonner of Purdue and Joe Laws of Iowa in the voting for quarterback, be shifted to fullback. In that event Wilson, who appears to be the outstanding passer on the squad, might be played at a halfback position, and Laws would pilot the team. Rodrian Will Speak To Vanguard Club Tonight The Vanguard Club will present the third of its Summer lecture series at 8 p.m. tonight in the Union, with R. H. Rodrian scheduled as the speaker. Mr. Rodrian is a graduate student at the University, and has recently been in Germany. While in Germany, he was a mem- ber of the Socialist Democratic party, and he will speak tonight on the sit- uation in, Germany from the outlook of that party. Officials of the Vanguard Club have announced that everyone is welcome to attend tonight's address.

CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY Il 'Cultivated' Relaxation Is Proposed To End Nervousness CHICAGO, July 18. - () - Relax, urges Dr. Edmund Jacobson, Univer- sity of Chicago physiologist. In the same breath he asks, "Can you re- lax?" Complete relaxation, as he sees it, is something more than stretching out in a chair or on a bed with some muscles eased but other delicate muscles still tense, to be tormeted by theproblems of a busy day. A person who is thoroughly re- laxed is free from all muscular con- tractions save those affected by the self-actuating contractions of the heart, says Dr. Jacobson. Even in thinking and in most sensations man experiences minute tensions in deli- cate muscles are brought into play, the physiologist finds. Tension Causes Early Death "It is physically impossible to be nervous in any part of your body if in that part you are completely re- laxed," he says. In the case of the business men, Dr. Jacobson blames many early age deaths-particularly those since 1929 -partly on a failure to relax. "Unfortunately," he says, "when the executive leaves his place of busi- ness for the day his cares generally go with him. Tensions which have been present during the preceding hours are likely to continue in the background of his evening occupa- tions." Should Master Art a demand upon nervous energies com- parable with that required for con- centrated work." In learning to relax, Dr. Jacobson recommends a course requiring care- ful thought and practice until one acquires it as a habit. The arms, legs, eyes, lips, and other parts of the body must be free of tension if relaxation is to be com- plete, he says. Beginners Should Go To Bed The first step in learning to avoid muscle tensions is to become con- scious of where they occur. For be- ginners Dr. Jacobson advises per.iods of lying flat in bed with eyes closed and mind free of thought. Relaxation, he says, also can be carried to one's daily work through "differential" relaxing. The perform- ances of dancers, singers, and athletes depend upon absence of tension in the parts of their bodies not directly in- volved. Workers can learn to pre- vent the overflow of tension from muscles needed in the work to those not needed. "You can with care," says Dr. Ja- cobson, "observe excess tension inI daily life on all sides. Individuals can readily be noted who gesticulate "4T- necessarily, speak rapidly or with shrill pitch, shift or turn about ex- cessively, wrinkle their foreheads or frown too often, move their eyes un- duly or show other signs of over-j activity or excitement." Evelyn Cohen Talks On Large Scale Costuming (Continued from Page 1) whereby each actor was given a number, and all his costumes were placed in a large paper market bag with a corresponding number. "For the dress rehearsals our system worked, Miss Cohen said, "but unfor- tunatelY, the night before the pa- geant, we had adhard rain, and the paper bags were drenched. We had to take everything out of them, dry the costumes as best we could, and dis- tribute them in a haphazard fashion. Nevertheless, although our plans were upset, we managed to put the pageant on with the loss of only one of all the 6,000 costumes." 1100 Examine River Rouge Car Factory (Continued from Page 1) tank on while you weren't watching, and back you go to the beginning of the line to find out. The general procedure, as far as it is visible, is that the steering wheel and front bumpers are put on first, with the gas-tank a close second. Then follow the rear wheels, the gear shift, brake lever, and motor block in close succession. At this point begins an interminable process of nuts, bolts, wires, and weather-stripping. Next comes the radiator shell, and while the front fenders and running board are clamped on, the radiator is filled. Then come the front wheels, the fancy V-front, the hood, the horns, and headlight, and at last an air-pressure pulley drops the bodies into place, complete with rear fen- ders, tail-lights, and spare carrier, while the gas tank is filled, and after final bolting and tightening, the car drives away. The trip was concluded by a sur- vey of Ford's one and one-third miles of, shipping docks, several acres of obsolete machinery, and the cement plant, rolling mill, and blast furnaces. The party also stopped at the open hearth furnaces, where over a hun- dred tons of metal are kept molten for the day's use, and at the casting rooms, where piledriver dies stamp out motor parts from red-hot blocks of steel and aluminum.

I r nrJ. *_J aU IJnUii ~ c a bsnes man who has mastered the art ofIn his laboratory Dr. Jacobson has! relaxation would not take his own life. "Modern invention and labor sav- ing machinery have relieved phys- ical drudgery," he sys, "but have ap- parently only increased the nervous strains. "One method to effect relief, at least in part, might be a return to a simpler way of life. But this solu- tion seems practically impossible; the complexities of modern living evi- dently are here to stay." All Need Relaxation Accepting this as the inevitable conclusion, he says the question re- solves itself into one of "cultivated" relaxation. Laboratory studies have led him to conclude relaxation is nec- essary in 11 walks of life - even to the society matron with over-wrought nerves. "The hostess at a dinner party or reception engages in many hours of trying arrangement of detail not ap- parent to the casual observer and is frequently not at her ease until the entire event lies in the past," he says. "Small talk, conventional at such affairs, when protracted, may make found many ailments originated from nervous disorders can be traced to a failure to relax.
