Sargent Jr. It is a man or woman whose education runs in to thousands and who is expected to take a leading position in the world, who is lost to the con- servative, hard-working society of men and women who do things. There Is the rub. The only remedy which would appear would be for every university to have a definite policy of vigorous Americanism and see to it that it is observed. Under that banner, there is room for the utmost liberalism, when it is worth its salt. There is room for the foreign teacher and for the historian who can tell the truth without color er quibble. Americanism, thank goodness, does not mean extolling the virtues of the gentlemen and ladies who inhabit Washington, nor find apologies for their acts wh en those are unwise or foolish. The German idea in higher education was to advertise the greatness and divinity of the Hohenzollerns. In America, we can still disagree with our public men when they are wrong and by ballot remove them.

Under the preceding caption the Michigan Manufacturer and Financial ord prints an editorial attacking the liberal tendencies of college pro- sors and accusing them of preaching Bolshevism, and sedition in the ss rooms. The accusation is almost too ridiculous for comment, but we rint the entire article in order to show the, false impressions held by iarently ignorant laymen. The most impossible of the editorial's - arguments is one which obvi- ly advocates a censorship of class-room discussions. In favoring a move his sort the writer forgets that a university is a place where new doc- aes may be discussed with intelligence and without passion; where "bol- vism and its related brands of theory" are not received "with open as" and discussed "with comparisons and contrasts all in its favor." If re is any one place at which new ideas can be weighed with sanity and lerstanding so that their merits or .shortcomings may be pointed out, that ce is the large American university, which the editoral practically brands un-American. As a people we make no claims to absolute perfection, but we do feel our privilege and our duty to strive for the attainment of the highest ndards of moral, social, and political welfare. By what means other .n the open discussion of new ideas by ntelligent men and women can we e to arrive at any such point of development? Should Bolshevism be cussed openly in the street and yet be barred from the lips of the more Leated classes? We do not accuse the author of the editorial of advocating curtailment of the right of free speech - the only step which can pre- At open discussion by the masses ,-- yet he does seek the placing of a cen- ship over the utterances of college professors. The editorial follows: Not long ago an employer of labor in Detroit who believes that his siness exists for something besides making money for him, decided to id two young men from his draughting room to a university to give them opportunity to perfect themselves in a line of study very essential in his ustry. Because the work was specialikd, he made a careful survey of the ools to determine where the men could have the best advantages. Both I risen to this stage of their career through hard work. They had not had y especial advantages of education and culture before. The employer believed that it was important what school his two n attended because, being men who would be readily influenced by their roundings,,would regard the opportunity given them as a sort of emo- nal experience. He did not want them to get side-tracked on any shol- ic theories and fads in education which would interfere with their best gress after they were returned to industry. He therefore made a little estigation of the things taught at a number of the most important schools I was astonished with the result. The men have not yet started for any iversity and the employer who will send them is certain that when they go, they will be exposed to the taint of loose-reasoning and faddishness ich, .disguised as socialism or ultra-modern economics, is being instilled o young people on practically every campus in the country by profes- s who harbor academic and impractical theories. Most of us think when we send our sons and daughters to college that are giving them the opportunity which will almost insure their success life. And it should be so. Nothing should be left undone t prepare lege men and women to recognize opportunity when it comes, to have the lity to make, the most of it and to work hard after it Is secured, to wring m its possibilities the success which makes life valuable and worth Ile. But where is there a college which recognizes the importance of the .dent's future? Where is there a faculty that places anything ahead of npus traditions and precedent? Surely it is not to be found among the ger universities of the country. Without attempting to be rea'tionary, re is still much to be said against the things in university curricula which 'e a tendency to break down the faith of the young man and woman in basic things of life and the time-tried foundations of American liberty I worthy Institutions. There are many cases where philosophic teachings have been arranged t have little other function than to break down the student's home- tght brand of theology an dundamental doctrine of honest dealing, without empting to erect a new s ucture based on broader if not more valuable es. It is a notorious fact, also, that bolshevism and its related brands of ory have been received in the universities with open arms and are dis- ised in hundreds of classrooms in the country with comparisons and con- sts all in its favor. The problem is a hard one to reach. Who shall be the judge of what st and must not be taught in our schools? The federal government? aven forbid. Its co-operation, guidance and advice is always welcomed, Epaternalistic education would be a failure. It must be .kept free of itical influence. Then is it the state legislature which appropriates most the money used? There is no legIslature educationally qualified as a ly to tell a faculty what it should and should not teach. The public? has not the facts. There. is no easy means whereby a professor who ches sedition, heresy or traitorous matter could be recalled.

Times News says: "Unique plans for the housing of the members have been developed, as each student will have a study room and a sleeping apart- ment. The individual study 'oom and sleeping room plan is believed to be unique in such homes in this country. In most fraternity houses the "mem- bers make use of a common study room or make use of a student's sleep- ing room to do their studying in. Other unique plans have been developed, -t is said." Probably among the other unique details, they don't eat in the shower- bath, but take their meals in the din- ing room, and practically no fire- places will be found on the front porch. These Dirty Millions Grow So Quickly Edsel Ford says that he and his fa- ther have been sitting up all night trying to figure out how to keep their annual profits at $25,000,000. It certainly is a hard life. Golf bugs of every sort are found, No matter where you go; Each has his own pet shot, and boy, He's sure to tell you so. One says, "Give me the twenty foot putt." There're lots of those alive, But of all the pokes here's waht I say: Give me the nice long drive. "Give me the mashie,' 'one bird says, "It'll cut my score from 8 to 5," But let me stand upon that tee And shoot a nice long drive. .'The midiron shot's the one for me," They say, but when I arrive I want to swat that pill, and so Give me the nice long drive. As we have observed before, one gent running this here colyum is prety well tied up, especially when the sheet blossoms four times a week, so if you see anything that brings a grin, clip or write and let's have it.

And since he'd scarcely cracked a book, he thgught he'd better take a look, lest, when the marks were passed about, with neck pulled in he'd wig- gle out. Yet stronger grew his pal- pitations as nearer drew examina- tions. Alas, he couldn't chute-the- chute, and so retired, on brass-toed boot. So now my Summer schoolers dear, I hope I've made the moral clear: Build up, before you go to bat, the architecture neath your hat. Our prizes, ah, how oft we've missed 'em because we had a faulty system, be- cause we didn't oil our wheels, or turned up late, perhaps, at meals, and caring just for delicatessen, alacka- day! we missed the blessin'. So while there yet is time make hay and see if you can pull an "A." (Contributed) One Usually Does You will enjoy using the A. B. A. cheques as issued by this bank. - Ad. in the Wolv. Let us dispel some of the illusions that surround the movie bathing queens that are soon to grace our fair city. A near relative of ours took 'em swimming and of course the gels looked as well as may be expect- ed in their costumes (see ads.) but one thing marred the party. Perhaps it was too slight to comment on but at that it was rather perturbing. You everything went well until time came to go in the water and then the only drawback was the poor things could- n't swim. Striking, Isn't He? "Yes," observed the village wit as he looked over the Living Skeleton, "he'd make a fine match for some girl." H. W. MEXICANS IN U. S. TO RECEIVE LAN D FROM HOME GOVERNMENT Mexico City, July 11.-Among the methods adopted by the Mexican gov- ernment to aid Mexican labors in the United States who have suffered dur- ing the reconstruction period follow- ing the ending of the war, is one by the department of agriqulturt to allot small lots of land in Lower California to those who wish to return their homeland from north of the Rio Grande. By this means it is hoped to repatriate thousands of Mexicans and also to populate and render productive the millions of acres of land in Low- er California which the government has taken over from the former con- I SCHAEBERLE & SON, Music House 110 SO.
