LIBERTY I AR BOR GAR ACE." DEaLERS IN OTO E PHONE 1101 Heels Goodyear Rubber Heels (By Prof. Fred Newton Scott) Young people who are looking for- Iward to journalism as a career, are usually in a tearing hurry to begin. As a rule they want to take the news- paper courses in the freshman year. Nothing, however, is to be gained by ,precipitancy. The newspaper is so plastic a medium, its form, itsmethod, and its contents shift so rapidly from year to year, that the intending jour- nalist will do well to defer his speci- fic training until be is a junior or even a senior. Meanwhile, by a wise choice of studies, he may be laying the foundations of a liberal education -a far more valuable acquisition in the long run (to speak in confidence) than any amount of technical skill. While it is literally true that noth- ing in the way of information or in- sight comes amiss to the journalist, there are certain courses and groups of course that are likely to be of more immediate benefit than are others. Thus the student must at all hazards acquire proficiency and a measure of speed in conmttng his thoughts to paper. He should also become in- timately acquainted with the best best things in English literature and somehow gain an appreciation of them. He should get a firm hold on at least one foreign language. Of history, both American and European, he can hardly take too much, and that he should be at home in political science, economics, sociology, and psychology, goes without saying. Here is surely enough to keep him busy for the first three years. In the specific training in journal- ism, the emphasis should, in my opin- 'ion, fall mainly upon theory. TPhe rationale of the newspaper,-its func- tion in a democratic community, the method of its evolution, the principles of its inner and outer organization- these are the things upon which the attention of the student should be centered if he expects to become something more than a drudge or an initator; for it is ideas that count in this as in any other vocation. Above all, the student should acquire un- shakable ideals of the newspaper pro- fession that will serve him as guides to conduct throughout his whole ca- reer. Although technical training is de- sirable, its importance is commonly much overrated. A student who has spent a few weeks on a metropolitan paper usually thinks that he is ready for anything. What he has really ac- quired is, as a general rule, only the argot of the newspaper office, a sense for the cqnventional types- of news, and a helter-skelter fluency in writ- ing. These are trifles. They can be picked up anywhere, and students who are satisfied with them are wasting their time at a university. They should be in a commercial college. Experience has shown that one who knows the fundamental principles of journalism and has laid up a stock of fruitful ideas, can upon entering a newspaper office, master the techni- que in an astonishingly short time- provided, of course that he has some natural fitness for the work. FOUR STUDENTS DROPPED FROM ENGINEERS' RESERVE CORPS Four engineers have been dropped from the engineers reserve corps on account of poor scholarship, Secretary L A. Hopkins, of the engineering col- lege, announced yesterday. In com- menting upon this action, Secretary Hopkins said: "The engineers' reserve corps was organized to give men of high scholar- ship an opportunity to prepare for millitary service, where their techni- cal training will be of value. Stud- ents in the reserve corps are expected.. to maintain an increasingly high standard of scholarship, and to be prompt in the filing of their reports with us for transmission to the war department. Failure to comply with the latter requirement is just as ser- ious as failure to make a. good schol- arship record." MILITARY NEWS Two lists of names of the cadets who have and who have no classes Friday afternoon will be taken by the first sergeant of the military com- panies, acording to an announcement made at the lecture yesterday after- noon by the military authorities. The list will be complied in order that the officials may ascertain exactly the number of men able to participate in the Ypsilanti Liberty Loan parade. If a sufficient number of cadets sig- nify their intention of going, orders will be issued this afternoon. In case the students leave, they will form in front of the Waterman gymnasium at 12:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, where they will be given guns. They will then march down to the inter- urban and take the car for Ypsilanti it is expected that th. cadets will re- turn at 4:30 o'clock that afternoon. Supplies for all R. O. T.

C. uniforms, which were changed by the cadets for a different size, were shipped from the clothing manufacturer on April 13, but have not yet arrived, owing to the con- gested freight conditions, according to an announcement issued last night by the clothing agent.

Main St. Engineers are expected . either to spend the summer in useful work or attend the summer session of the col- lege, according to resolutions drawn. up by the committee of the engineers' reserve corps. The use to which a student puts his summer vacation is regarded by the committee as a material indication of his earnestness and sincerity in pre- paring himself for war service. In order to make sure that engineering :students spend their recess profitably, each student will be required to file with the secretary 'of the college at the beginning of the fall term, a state- ment from his employer, giving the duration of his summer employment, the character of work done, and the student's attitude toward his work.
