It Is imiportant for society to avoid the neglect of adults, but positively dangerous for it to thwart the ambition of youth to reform the world. Only the schools which act on this belief are educational institu- tions in the best meaning of the term. -Alexander G. Ruthven. The 45th Annual Summer Session .. . For 44 yers the University Summer Session has steadily extended its scope of educational op- portunity. It has expanded into every important field of learning, and at the same time has ac- quired a character of its own as an institution, and has gained a reputation which now draws students from all parts of the country. The 45th Summer Session opening today promises to be the largest and most distin- guished in the University's history. The In- stitute of Far Eastern Studies, inaugurated last summer, the Physics Institute, the Linguistics Institute and other special enterprises of prev- ious years will beretained,while a new course, the Graduate Conference on Renaissance Stud- ies, the first curriculun ever offered in an Ameri- can university on the Renaissance, will be given. This course will include study of the music, lit- erature, economics and religion of the Renais- sance in special seminars, with lectures and dis- cussions. The Far Eastern Institute will feature 12 gen- eral lectures by outstanding Oriental scholars, to be included in the regular series of Summer Ses- sion lectures. A large number of visiting instructors, prom- inent in their special fields, will takepart in the summer's work. The presence of these men is one of the chief attractions for degree students coming here. Besides the 30 Summer Session lectures, which will cover a variety of subjects from social'phil osophy to Egyptian archaeology, the annual pro- gram of sulmer tours will be conducted to var- ious points of interest. The Daily welcomes to Ann Arbor all students new to the University, in the hope that they will be able to make the most of the 'opportunities offered them by the Summer Session. -Irving Silverman. 'The Editor Gets Told'..« We wish to-call the attention of our readers to one of the Daily'smost important columns - that usually appearing on the editorial page de- voted to letters from our readers. The letter column, under the caption, "The Editor Gets Told," is for the Daily's readers to use in whatever way they see fit. If you have a criticism for the Daily, for the University, or for the weather in Ann Arbor, your opinion can be aired in "The Editor Gets Told." The only qualification for letters to the editor is that they remain in good taste. The Daily re- serves the right to condense letters of more than 300 words. All communications must be signed, but signatures will be omitted from publication if requested. -Joseph Gies. Already crowded with German and Austrian After ignoring "repeated written and oral rep- resentations" made by the American Ambassador at Tokyo, the Japanese Government has made a significantly prompt reply to a firm note of the State Department demanding immediate restora- tion to their rightful owners of American prop- erties and institutions held by Japanese military authorities in the occupied zones in China. It re- mains to be seen whether action will be as prompt and whether the promised commission will be sent at once to Shanghai to investigate the complaints and expedite the return of Amer- ican business men and missionaries to their posts. At this stage of their difficult campaign it seems unthinkable that the Japanese should wish to add to their difficulties by intensifying the resentment of important American interests in China. But why the indifference until now -to reiterat- ed American protests? Since last August the Japanese have been in control of the Shanghai area and the lower valley of the Yangtze. The battle has long since passed to other fronts and Japanese merchants and their families have been encouraged to return. This gives force to the State Department's reminder that up to the present neither American business men with valuable holdings in that part of China nor American missionaries with long-established ed- ucational institutions have been permitted to repossess their properties. The University of Shanghai, owned by the Northern and Southern Baptist Missionary Societies, is a flagrant case in point. The university buildings are used for quartering troops and the campus, with the ad- jacent golf course, for a military flying field. The employment for military purposes of property which they own and support naturally rouses the indignant protest of 6,000,000 Ameri- canBaptists. When to this grievance is added evidence that a different attitude is taken toward Japanese interests, the policy appears discrim- inatory toward Americans. Viewed in a, still larger aspect, as a sign of Japan's sentiments toward foreign investments in general, it raises issues which Tokyo would, hardly wish to see emphasized at this time. These considerations, pressed. 'home by the latest note, should give graver concern to the Japanese than to the American Government. -New York Times. Hollwood Trials For snappy extraneous matter, nothing beats a court trial involving a screen actress. Whether her part in the case is that of plaintiff, defendant, juror, eye witness or process server, she sooner or later finds herself under oath revealing every- thing, most of it irrelevant but all of it going on page one of the later afternoon editions with pictures on pages 3, 7, and 28. What begins as a trial turns out to be suc- cessive performances of risque bedroom drama. While lawyers draw out a confession, the jurors, judge and spectators probably sit back and. wager on how much of her diary is in the first person plural. In Hollywood recently, Simone Simon's secre- tary was indicted on 18 counts for absconding with $11,000. Although the secretary was guilty if anyone was, the hearings, as reported in the press, were confined to Miss Simon and brought out that she, who was only the plaintiff, had given to some mysterious person (presumably male) these significant gifts: 1. Two gold keys to her home. 2. A dressing gown and slippers. 3. A watch. 4. The conventional lounging pajamas, probably red. If this continues, we may expect the eager court to confine itself to Miss Simon's possible indiscretions in the hope that they are really good and the jury will probably wind up find- ing her guilty of something or other. The poor actress can't win. Although the case may be decided favorably, her reputation, if any, is certain to be shot full of doubts. And it beats all how the drabbest details in the life of a hard-working screen actress are bedizened with the glamour of immorality when they meet the public's eye.I -Minnesota Daily. _ a Department Of The Air Argument for a Department of Air to be coequal with the War Department and the Navy Department has been revived in connection with discussions of the recent maneuvers of the General , Headquarters Air Force held on the east coast. Particularly the exploit of the "Flying Fortresses" in meeting the Italian steam- ship Rex 750 miles at sea has aroused advocates of the unified air force. What business has an army airplane 750 miles at sea? they ask. Those who have studied combined army and navy operations from Salamis to Gallipoli will hesitate about advising a further complication in command. Occasionally there is found a Grant and a Porter who can work together in such an operation, but more often there is bickering and procrastinating inaction. Britain's experience with a unified air force in the closing days of the World War is not entirely an argument for separation. Our naval air force, since its early years at Pensacola, has been built up for naval purposes. At present it is well trained and powerful. The recent maneuvers showed that the army air force still lacks both eauipment and ner- BOOKS The Yearling THE YEARLING. By Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, New York: Scribners. By Leade A. Miller Transferred from a shallow, hypocritical, pseudo-sophisticated world of political and eco- nomic strife to a simple primordial order of naivity, genuineness, one is at first reluctant to appreciate the simple life which Miss Rawlings depicts so warmly in The Yearling. But her straightforward style, her talent for stirring descriptions, her lovable characters, soon make one forget political strife, social evils. To say that The Yearling has social significance, that it bears any relationship to our chaotic society might seem erroneous, yet, perhaps not. In the char- acter of Penny who "leans back in his honesty" walking a mile to return a dollar which did not belong to him; who scorns any unfair play, re- fusing to lay out poison to trap the wolves who have been raiding their stock, maintaining that "pizen jest somehow ain't natural. Tain't fair fighting"-from Penny, we can all learn some- thing about the "art of living." However, I doubt whether Miss Rawlings had this purpose in mind when she wrote The Year- ling. Better it would be to say that Miss Rawl- ings presents again the swampy lowlands of Florida as the appropriate setting for a spirited, whimsical, energetic little soul of a boy, Jody, the twelve year old son of Penny and Ma Baxter. The story centers about this little bundle of curiosity. As the story evolves, -so evolves his spirit experiencing life's emotions. With the aid of his father, Jody realizes their place on the horizon, and begins to understand life a little better. Jody amuses us with a bit of sparkling humor when he says to his mother, "Hey, o1' ma, I like you, ma," and after she answers, "Mighty lovin' on an empty belly and me with a dish in my hand," he says, grinning, "That's the way you're prettiest." A poignant tenderness and sensitiveness to- ward nature is revealed in the little boy when he .finds a quivering fawn in the brush. He is so overcome by the sight that he can only utter a weak, "It's me!" Jody's first apprehension of the significance of death is profoundly stirring. He bends over his crippled friend, Fodder-wing, who appears to be made of tallow, he whispers, "Hey," but is met with only an intolerable silence. We sympathize with this sensitive soul who so loves nature and her creatures that he cannot understand the necessity for hunting down the wild animals. His father reminds him of the law by which they Aive, "Kill or go hungry!" One day in the woods a realization comes over Jody that he need never be lonely again for his friend, Fodder-wing-"That something of Fid- der-wing had always been and would always be where the wild creatures fed and played. Fod- der-wing was like the trees. He was of the earth, as they were earthly, with his gnarled, frail roots deep in the sand. A part of him had always been outside his twisted body." But in spite of those manifestations of a grow- ing maturity Jody is still, "the boy." He dis- plays the unreasonable instinctive behavior of childhood when he hurls a potato at little Eulalie Boyles because her freckles, her pigtails, her sassy nose infuriated him. The episode which converts little Jody into Jody, the young man is centered about Flag, lhe fawn whom Jody sleeps with, eats with, loves dearer than his own life. Flag is necessarily shot by Ma Baxter because he has been digging up their crops. Jody, angered, runs away from home, is taken abroad a boat after collapsing from want of food; then, finally, returns home, in enlightened boy. Penny tells him: You've seen how things go in the world of men, you've knowed men to be low-down and mean. You've seed ol' Death at his tricks. You've messed around with ol' Starvation. Ever' man wants life to be a fine thing, and an easy. 'Tis fine, boy, powerful fine, but tain't easy. Life knocks a man down and he gets up. And it knocks him down again. I've been uneasy all my life. Rawlings extracts from the Florida swamps characters, rich in color and contrast. Penny, Jody's pa, puny, no bigger than a boy, stands as an ash sapling among' the great oaks, among the Forresters, a neighboring family. The Forresters are a rough, coarse lot, living easy, loving hard, and hating intensely. They admire Penny for his vivid story-telling, respect him for his hon- esty, envy him for his cupidity in tracking down ol' Slewfoot, the maurauding bear. And Penny stands in contrast to his wife, Ora, generously built, but lacking Penny's mellowed attitude to- ward life. Years of hard living have left their scourge upon her. She is less sensitive to na- ture, less understanding toward Jody and his pe- culiar whims, but, still loves him, loves Penny. One cannot mention the characters in The Yearling without including lovable Grandma Hutton, bewitcher of men, disliked by all women. It is she who enchants Jody with her tasty cook- ies, the sweet smells in her house, her blue china dishes, and the white sheets in her'beds.' Such are the people we find in The Yearling. To improve public morals, Japanese police are requiring taxi-dancers and waitresses to keep diaries. Any relations with a customer are sup- posed to be noted, and the diaries are inspected once a month. An Arabic moving picture produced in Egypt and entitled "Yehia el Hob" (Long Live Love) has been exhibited for six weeks in a leading theater of Cairo, giving four performances a day, a record showing for any film in Egypt.
