Intel- ligence itself, in fact, is as worthless without an erpenditure of effort through which it may become of value as labor is without intelligence to guide it, and ultimately it is simply through use, through work. that real intelligence is fostered and developed. But, after all, this is simply a haggling over the' technicality of a phrase. Anyone knows that the man who has no feeling for what President Burton sees fit to call the "sanctity of toil" is either a mere machine or a selfish hoarder. Call it what you will, the laborer without a feeling for and an interest in his work is not worth the powder and lead it would take to blow him up. A BUILDER RETIRES To those who, in past years, have seen anything .of the workings of the economics department of the University, the recent resignation of Prof. Henry Carter Adams means much. 'It means a loss to the University, and it means, moreover, that a place is left vacant which no other person will ever be able adequately to fill. Professor Adams' work at Michigan has been of a type .to reflec't credit not only on the institution but upon the whole United States as well. His suc- cess in establishing an accounting system for Amer- ican railroads, and in working out a system of accounting suitable for use on Chinese transporta- tion lines has been especially notable. He is an authority on the subject of economics, an author, a scholar, and has probably done as much as any, other one map to help make Michigan what she'is. Others may follow Professor Adams; others may take up and, continue the work hie has begutn; but no one will ecver be able to fill his place exactly as he has done. Professor A=dams' chair in active serv- ice is left vacant, but MVichigan is just that much bigger and better because of his having occtupied it.

He asserts that the principle that "every human being is of supreme worth is the founda- tion of democracy. Most men, he says, can be judged by their attitude toward work,"the essence of existence, the vital test to which civilization puts each person." Repetition has made such statemehts orthodoxj doctrine for baccalaureate sermons. It would be heresy of the worst sort for a college president to, tell a group of young men going out into the world that they ought to avoid labor and live by their wits. But after fall, are we not deceiving and handicap- ping our young collegians unfairly by such talk about the "sanctity of toil"? The- best ditch digger we ever knew, if headed west from Chicago, would have made the dirt fly clear to the Rocky mountains if not stopped by a plainly marked line or by some impassable barrier. He knew nothing about the sanctity of toil. He had no illusions. All he knew was how to dig. If "every human being is of supreme worth," this man was as valuable as the man who directed his efforts and limited them to the excavation for a foundation and cellar of a house. But in reality he was not as valuable. Undirected, the fruits of his toil would have been destruction. Young men go to college to fit themselves not for toil but to direct toil into productive channels. Without such direction probably nine-tenths of the labor in the world would be wasted. It has been estimated that without the labor-saving machinery now in existence this globe couldl not support its population, no matter how diligently every individ- ual worked. Yet no college president tells us that the machine which thus supplements and extends the possibilities of the worker is sacred. The fact is that there is nothing noble in labor itself. Quite the reverse is true. If a man dis- carded pick and shovel and set to digging a ditch with his hands, he would increase his labor, decrease its product, and brand himself an idiot. If, on the other hand, he discarded' pick and shovel and invented a ditch-digging machine which would reduce his physical effort and increase his results, we would do him honor and give him reward. It is not toil, bnt intelligence,, which is sacred. The young men instructed by Dr. Burton probably know this. If they do not know it now, they will learn it quickly when they see the comparative rewards of stolid labor and of intelligent mental' effort. It is time the old platitudes were dropped from baccalaureate sermons and the college curriculum in general. If the world is to improve and progress it must do so through the success of its leaders. It is a waste of time and an unnecessary handicap to tell young men who are in line to become such leaders of thought and action that "every human On Maynard .Street, 1-2 Block South of Majesic Theatre .. buys a brand. _a 5 Vnew corona portabl Ety e- writer.
