C. Pardon, chairman of the com- mittee.'s Remodeling Progresses Work of remodeling the president's residence on the campus is to be com- pleted the latter part of this month, according to -present plans, and the building will be ready for occupancy by President Burton and family the first of August. A sun parlor, dining porch, sleeping porch and garage with maids' rooms above, have been built. The old por- tton of the structure has been replas- tered throughout, a new roof put on, and new floors laid. In order to make the basement of sufficient depth, the basement floor was lowered about a foot. Six new class rooms will be provid- Qd on the second floor of the main wing of University hall by improve- ments which are just being started. The rearrangement ,will reduce the size of the auditorium in the hall, but it is planned to have a seating ca- pacity for not less than 800 in the auditorium when the work is finished. More Room Needed Need of additional class rooms in the building has become constantly more pressing with the fast increasing enrollment of the University. The work will be completed in time for the rooms to be available for use at the opening of the fall session. Delay in shipment of materials for the Betsy Barbour dormitory retarded construction for nearly two months, but the work is being pushed rapidly now. The heating plant has been in- stalled, and most of the plumbing is finished. The dormitory will be open by early fall. The frame work of the new nurses' home -under construction near the University hospital, is now being put up. The home is to be completed in September. Installation of the new 600 kilowatt turbine for the University power plant has been started. A system to soften the water used in the boilers at the plant is to be put in soon, in order to eliminate the difficulties that have arisen in past winters on account of the use of hard water in the boilers. Michigan cast 15 ballots fpr McAdoo,' Palmer 12, Bryan 1, Marshall 1. Auditorium, San Francisco, July 3.-' In quick and successive votes the Democratic national convention yes- terday voted down by heavy majorities all attempts to amend the report of the platform committee and threw out all substitute proposals, including the bone-dry plank by William J. Bryan and the-wet plank offered- by W. Bourke Cochran. SustaIn Plank The administration's League of Na- tions plank as reported by the commit- tee was sustained against all attack. The administration supporters were in control by heavy majorities all along the line. The vote on the Bryan plank was 929% no; 155% yes; 8 ab ent or not voting. The official total which beat the Cockran moist plank was 7261/ against it and 356 for it. Eleven and a half votes were absent. Without a roll call the convention also voted down Bryan's plank for the publication of an official newspaper by, the federal government. The Bryan profiteering plank also was rejected by acclamation. In quick succession the convention. then voted down also the plank offered by Bryan declaring against compulsory military training In peace time. day. ,f A call will be issued next week for students who have any ability in sing- ing, dancing, impersonation, or vaude- ville acts of any kind to try out for the Spotlight. A special effort will be made to secure- the participation of students who are here for the summer only. _Naterial Furnished In former years this class has fur- nished much valuable material, but the committee is handicapped by being un- familiar with the abilities of the new- comers. The summer Spotlight, which is sim- ilar to those given during the school year, is intended primarily for stu- dents who are here only In the sum- mer, and in a large measure the suc- cess of-the event depends on their par- ticipation, and support. Moore to be Director Earle Moore, director of the Union orchestra, will. be in charge of the orchestra program, and an attempt will be made to have as many as pos-' sible of the regular orchestra mem- bers here for the Spotlight. Kemp Keena, soloist in two of the Union operas, will take part in the Spotlight, as will several other stu- dents of former Spotlight experience who form a nucleus for the coming event. EXTRA COPIES FOR SALE Extra copies of this issue of The 'Wolverine, which contain the principal parts of President Burton's. first official address, will be printed and placed on sale at the publication offices in the Press building'for five cents.! I I In his lecture, the "Treaty of Peace," which will be delivered at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, Prof. . S. Reeves, who is the head of the political science department and an authority on affairs of this nature, will deal with the matter in a scientific manner. An entirely non-partisan standpoint will be taken, and he will endeavor to show the reasons for the treaty, what the statesmen considered necessary at the time, how they worked on it, and in what measure they achieved suc- cess.- This will not be a political' talk. Takes Judicial View Professor Reeves is expected to take a judicial point of view in his discus- sion, which will be given in the spirit of an expert student of the matter. Althowgh the treaty is now quite old, this will be practically the first, ad- dress along these lines given in the University. This lecture is in the nature of a special Fourth of July talk.'Although classes are always dismissed for In- dependence day celebration,- Dean E. H. Kraus, of the Summer Session, has always arranged for a lecture of this type on that, day. Berkowitz to Talk Three talks on the Jewy and the American will be delivered by Dr. Henry Berkowitz on Tuesday, Wed- nesday, and thursday. These talks, which are in the nature of an explana- tion of the Jews, are scheduled annu- ally by the Summer Session for the lecture program.

SECOND ENTERTAINMENT OF MUSIC FACULTY WEDNESDAY DEALS MAINLY WITH FUNDA MENTAL EDUCATIONAL PRINCIPLES LAR GE AUDIENCE HEARS NEW EXECUTIVE SPEAK America Always Believed in School He States; War Deepened This Confidence . "Our schools, as never before, mus demand accuracy, must awaken the students, modernize their student and finally make the schools, then selves, the centers of training in in tekrity," declared President Mario Leroy Burton Thursday night in h address in Hill auditorium on "Wha the Schools Must Do." President Bu: ton's address dealt principally upe those fundamental principles that i: back of education. from the kinder garten to the college and university. "The traditional answers to t- question of what the schools must d are not sufficient," he said. "We mus admit that a new day creates ne tepndencies and new demands. Ou public school system, however, has e: pressed such large elements of trul in the past that there need be no un due concern about its . overthrow o complete metamorphosis now. Ventures New-Opinions "It will continue to function mighti in this new day. Our task, then, is n to say something new, but tp ventu: certain observations upon the ne emphasis which must be placed upo the actual work of our education system. "America has always believed in e ucation. The war has deepened ou confidence in all forms of training. TJ people seem to understand clearly th democracy and education are inse arable. "This developing cenfidence in ed cation is paralleled by a growing co cern for the met ods and aims of ou educational institutions. The enti system, from top to bottom, is und careful scrutiny. Numerous proposa are being put forward looking to t reorganization and reconstruction our educational system. (Continued on Page 5) PRACTICAL JOKER MISCUES; NO WOLVERJNE EXTRA ISSU s '1 Same Fate for League Plank The Bryan League of Nations plank shared the same fate, going out in a great chorus- of "Noes." A plank for a commission' to investi- gate the feasibility of a soldier bonus also was rejected without a roll call. The substitute Irish plank declaring, it is the purpose of the nation to rec- ognize the independence of the Irish republic also was voted down by the convention by a vote of 402% for to 676 against. Bryan, with one of his old-time speeches in support of a bone-dry plank for the Democratic platform, turned -the convention almost upside down late yesterday afternoon with the magnetism and force of his ora- tory, and started one of ,the greatest and noisiest demonstrations the assem- bly had yet seen. Some practical joker informed the Aan Arbor public yesterday -that Pres- ident Wilson was dead, and in the course of the day*the story traveled over the entire city. Someone phoned The Wolverine, representing himself to be the Associated Press, and gave the story to a man in the office. However, the would-be joker was apparently ignorant of the fact that The Wolverine carries no Associated Press reptrts, consequently being in no position to receive such a message,, and that if the story did come it would be throug ha long-distance call from Detroit, where the Associated Press is, and not through a local call. Unfortunately for hisjoke, The Wol- verine did not ruch out an extra nor call up the citizens promiscuously. One or two inquirers were informed that a report, which could not'be con- firmed anywhere, had come over the telephone. The second concert in the series of musical entertainments given by the faculty of the University School of Music in Hill auditorium in co-opera- tion with the entertainments being provided by the University for the benefit of Summer school students and citizens will take place at 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening. The following will participate: Miss Nora Crane Hunt, contralto, acting head of the vocal department, who will offer two groups, consisting of Luzzi's "Ave Maria" with organ accompani- ment by Mr. Earl V. Moore, and a group of songs sung with piano ac- companiment by Mrs. George B.i .Rhead; and Mrs. Rhead will offer two. groups of piano numbers. r , Student Volunteers to Meet This Evening The Student Volunteers will me at 7:30 o'clock this evening in Lai hall.
