E. Rankin of the rhetoric department, said in his, lecture on "The Effect of Var on Literature." , The literature that does come, which will be here after a period of twenty or thirty years, will be less emotional and more intellectual, according to Professor Rankin. What country or countries that will produce such a: literature cannot be determined now, but the best that was produced during the war was that of France. This was caused by the fact that France saw most of the fighting, the professor con- tinued. . The reason assigned by Professor Raiin that literature would not come from America was that our present literature, journalism, is an industry, while literature is an art. Even the feature stories of the present are mere valets dressed in the masters' clothes. Six books that have come out of the war would, Professor Rankin thought, withstand the test of time. These are Lissauer's "Hymn of Hate," Ibanez's "The Four Horsemen of the Apol- calypse," Andreyev's "The Sorrows of Belgium," Kipling's "The Eyes of Asia," certain international communi- cations of Woodrow Wilson, and Cap- tain Paul Pattee's "LeCran."

"Many of them are real problems unless they are understood, . D. and a large number among the delin- Por: quent classes can be aided. Statistics ewart show that beINeen 30 and 40 per cent of the children that come before the Juvenile court are feeble-minded. The N law however, takes no- cognizance of their condition if they have committed JEY crimes. 1 "Psyconeurotics, however, are very .Con- uncertain and are not able to get along way without scientific help.; The feeble- I clay minded children are the most notice- ld in able and easy to comprehend. Many aw of of the boys and girls that appear be- fore the court'present problems that brook are most difficult to solve, although , 6-4, many of them are not guilty of serious it the crimes. If the environment of these first poor children had been favorable, they nting would.not commit offenses." In referring to the mentally defect- e has ive children, Dr. Perkins said that they g city are hardest to understand and that else- they commit petty crimes and aye ch he truant from school. "It seems,". she stand said, "that these boys and girls lack His the appreciation of the issues in- e be- volved." e has In conclusion, Dr. Perkins stated that it is quite apparent that some special provision be, made for the un- ESS fortunate psycopathic cases.

Franklin Shull of zoology has been received so well by teachers in this field that within a period of two months from the time of its first appearance it has been adopted by 24 of 'the largest colleges and universi- ties in the country. According to the author the work was gotten out in answer to the. de- aind for a more modern method of studying zoology. The method em- ploye* up to this time has been to take the forms of the various classes of anithal, and beginning with the mot simple or lowest form of animal, the protozoa, take each class separate- ly, describing its structure, and when through leaving/t and repeatiAg with the next class." had No Connection In using this method there was no connection between the different forms studied. tThis system was used here up to three years ago, when the course was reorganized. The first part of the work to undergo change was that in the laboratory. Under the new plan the exercises were developed around biologic prin- ciples, that ifinstead of taking some form of animal life and learning about its mere structure, an attempt was made to teach it according to prin- ciples of physiology, geographical dis- tribution, paleontology, evolution, and ecology.' When the laboratory work was or- ganized on such a basis it was found that no textbook could be secured that might be used in conjunction with the labpratory work. Two books were tyied. One was elementary and the other, besides *having a great many errors, was not written by a zoologist, but a physician, who emphasized the medical points rather than the zoologic ones. Each was used for one year, and then Dr. Shull started work on his new book, developing it along the lines that were used in reorganizing the laboratory work.

INIATIONAL LAW HAS-THREE WEKNESSES -DICKINSON CONFUSED : WITH DIPLOMACY DECLARES PRO- FESSOR Confusion with diplomacy, unreal and impractical rules, and an empha- sis placed upon the means of limiting the havoc of warfare rather than upon the means of bringing about peaceful settlements of disputes, were declared by Prof. E. D. Dickinson, of the Law school, to be the three great weak- nesses of modern international las, in his address on "The Outlook for I er- national Law," yesterday afternoon. Diseqssing the confusion of inter- national law with diplomacy, Professor Dickinson said the recognition of new states and old states with new gov- ernments was frequently based on po- litical expediency instead, of interna- tional justice. "A new state may have all the essentials of stable existence," he said, "and still not be recognized by the governments of established states, thereby depriving its people of the (Continued on Page 4) 95 Make Niagara Trip Tomorrow All persons who have signed up for the Niagara Falls trip should attend the lecture this afternoon on the "Geo- graphical Signifieance of Niagara Falls," by Mr. F.

Johnson arrived in the city Monday night from Spokane, where he has been training 'for the last few weeks. Leave Early A telegram received Monday caused the hurried departure of the athletes a day early.

The men will arrive in Boston this afternoon. In the broad jump Johnson has been working out, and with .good' weather+ he is expected to go over 23 feet 6 inches.

In a last time trial Saturday morning the star 440 man clipped off his distance in :49 flat, better than which only a few men have beenable to do this year. As 'he was running against time, a difficult feat, there is a chance for him to do even better, although there may be adverse weather conditions which will slow him up. He has had only light work- outs this week. Steve Farrell, the Michigan coach, did not accompany the men.
