SWELLR SIES, LECTURE ON CANCER PHRENTION, DISEASE 'ITSELF NOT DIRECTLY INHERITABLE, SAYS PROFESSORr "Practical Points, in the Prevention More than $300 was raised in seven hours during the University of Mich- igan Fresh Air Camp Tag day, held on the campus Wednesday, . This is practically enough to insure the suc- 'cgssful establishment and operation' of the third section of the camp for boys, the second division of which is now urier way on the shores of Lake Huron, eight miles north of Porte Huron, Mich. - The committee which took chgrge of the work was composed of 40 stu- dents, of whom 35 were, women, tin- der the direction of Floyd A. Ser- geant, '22, chairman of the Tag day committee. Total Fund $2,605.45 So far, the total amount of the camp fund, exclusive of yesterday's deceipts, is $2,605.45. The expendi- tures of the first section were $2,191.48. This included the purchase of equipment, which had to be secured complete, as well as transportation, and operation. Of the balance of $413.97, the sum of $159 is held as a trust fund with which to purchase a permanent. camp site. According to Louis C. Reimain, '16, camp director, it will take near- ly all of the remaining $254.97 to com- plete the second section, now sunder way. Need Entire Amount In speaking of yesterday's cam- paign, Lloyd M. Wallick, associate sec- retary of the Students' Christian as- sociation, said Wednesday night, "The statement was made to me this morning, by a man who ought to know, that he understood sufficient money to be already on hand to run the third camp. This, however, is not the case. Every bit of the money. we took in today will be required to conduct the last se-ction." It is probable that an effort will be made to secure some additional pri- vate contributions in order .to make the successful completion of the camp doublyt certain. In order to secure a definite statement of opinion as to wheth- er or not the prices-charged by local soda dealers are reason- able and just, The Wolverine is publishing a ballot form on pageI four of this issue. It has been suggested that, if everyone who is in the habit of patronizing campus confectiohery shops, would 'fill o'ut and mail their ballot to the editor, it would be possible to judge more definitely just what the attitude of the stu- dents, faculty, and towns people is regarding loyal rates. Everyone interested is asked to co-operate. No ballots which are sent in unsigned, or signed with fictitious names, however, will be considered.

WORK "Positive and Negative Methods of Educating Children" was the topic which Mr.' J. A. Puffer expounded at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in his lec- ture on "The Growth of Child Welfare and the Value of-Pictorial Material in Arousing, Public Interest." It is his belief that the best way to keep chil- dren on the paths of righteousness is to keep them at work. "Idle time is the cause of most of the evil in the world," he said. "We tan't increase the number of hours children must sit in seats, they sit there too long already. But school is better than nothing, although the teacher has to teach the stupidest' member of the class, and so the brighter students suffer. There is too much bluffing and getting by in our schools today. How sad it is to meet these boys - capable boys just bluf- fing their way through school." Positive Method There is : a positive ,method for teaching children, however, which is 'far better. At the present time the teachers of most schools punish the student if he does not know his les- sons - the negative method. In the experimental school operated by the. University of Missouri, the positive method is used. The things which the children like to do are picked out,1 and the children are taught to do them better.: "All the good and wholesome. things that they do are1 seized upon," he said. "It is impor'- tant to train their powers of observa- tion. They should be taken out in the country so that they can' catch the disease of nature, and learn to delight in it. '"Get them out of doors. Teach them the necessity for teamwork," said Mr. Puffer, and went on to say that we must get over the curse of one- team Work in the United States, and get everyone out. "The fundamental virtues of Democracy are to be foundl in teamwork. Use Story-Tellhig Instinct "In the afternoon the story-telling instinct should be aroused. I think this to be a great asset. Nowadays you cannot tell a good story in 'a hotel lest a man swing a nasty story back at you. The best thing about your college course is meeting men and listening to their conversation. (Continued on Page Four) Problem of Delinquency Further Com- pilcated by Number of Feeble-Minded ATHLETICS NEEDED TO STOP STREET-LOITERING Continuing on the theme that the best thing for boys is to keep them at work, Mr.. J. A. Ppuffer spoke for the third time before Summer session audiences at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, in the Natural Science aud- itorium on the subject "The Boy Prob- lemand the Prevention of Delinqu-, ency." He spoke of the large 'number of feeble-minded people in the country. "If we take 3,000,000 as the popula- tion, there are 60,000 feeble-minded people, taking 2 percent as the per- centage, which is a low one," he said. "There must be three children in every family if that family is to keep alive. Harvard graduates run 1.4 to the family, Vassar graduates 1.0. This is so fpr all universities. The death rate for old Anglo--Saxon families in New England is higher than the birth rate. On the other hand, feeble- minded families have as many as six children. Something must be done about this. The Home the Cause "The home is the cause of more de- linquents than any other single fac- tor.' I have known at least a hundred delinquent boys, and have never seen one who has not said that his home had much to do wits his going wrong," said Mr. Puffer, and went on to say, that a third of the honmesare ineffi- cient in that they set up the wrong examples for their children." "We must build institutions which will keep the children off the streets. The danger time. is after the school closes, the evenings,. Satur- days, and Sundays.. In Utah the chil- dren must either be in school or at work all the time," said Mr. Puffer. "All you have to know is the number of boys and girls who annually go wrong to believe that these- steps should be taken." Physical Training Necessary The amount of physical training in the schools should be increased. "I'd' like to see 10 minutes of setting-up exercises between each class," he said. This has been done in Par- kersburg,West Virginia. The children meet in a big main hall between each class. Why nod have at least an hour's. physicaktraining every day, out in the open air, in which there is teamwork with everybody on the team. Is there (Continued on Page 'Four) (By L. W.

The crowd began to, gather at 10' o'clock'in the morning, and by 1 o'clock a large congregation had ,assembled., The following pro- gram was carried out: 10:00, Parade; 10:30, welcome; 10:45, ball game; 12:00, dinner; 1:15, vaudeville show; 2:00, aquatic meet; 3:30, field meet; 4:30, singing., The ball game between the winning team of each league was not nearly so contested for as was expected. The. "mighty" Inwars of the Gurly league won the championship easily by a. 10 to 2 score. The afternoon was full- of excite- ment for everyone. The vaudeville' show proved to be a huge success and the water events were interesting. On a whole the day was a busy one and eferyone enjoyed it. Many of the visitors commented favorably about the time they had and were well pleased with the 'general appearance of the camp. Reen~st 'Pictres In New Exhibit An exhibit affording comparisons between the contemporary French' and British schools of painting will be in the west gallery of Alumni Memo- rial hall for the remainder of the summer. This is -the Todd loan ex- hibit, consisting of recent acquisitions from last year's Paris Salon and the Royl Academy. The whole gamut of subject matter is to be found in these paintings and copies of famous artists. Prof. H. R. Cross of the fine arts department men- tions as being particularly note- worthy: "Those who have now no home", by Ruffin; "Spring in olden times", by Sourel: "First Rays", by Ponchin; "Canterbury Cathedral", by Murray; "Garden of Hesperides", by.
