TONIGHT AT THE WHITNEY * * * * * * * * * * * * * Once again local theatregoers may enjoy the opportunity of journeying with Lyman H. Howe at the Whitney Theatre tonight. Those who have learned from previous visits how in- vigorating and inspiriting are the ani- mated scenes presented by Mr. Howe will hail the news with a keen sense of pleasure. It is an attraction that needs to be seen but once when its importance is instantly recognized. In its range it is world wide, and while it is instructive it is equally enter- taining. There is a fine series depicting vari- ous phases of "preparedness" as car- ried on at the West Point Military Academy. No American can view the march and drill activities of the cadets without realizing the war depart- ment's enthusiasm for the future abil- ity of the institution to produce officers for the larger American army. The summer camp of cadets has increased this year in accordance with the gen- eral plans for the better. equipment of U. S. military forces. The larger activities provided splendid action for moving picture production. The program also includes a pic- torial excursion through Sunny Spain, to far-off Hawaii, through the fjords of Norway to Hammerfest-the most northerly city in Europe, birds and fish in the colors of nature, outddor games revealed by normaland ultra- slow photography, catching sharks, and all new comedy cartoons which are so characteristic of the attraction. "EXPERIENCE" COMES TO THE WHITNEY THEATRE Governor R. Livingston Beeckman, of Rhode Island, in commenting on George V. Hobart's modern morality play, "Experience," which will be pre- sented at the Whitney theatre, Friday night, Oct. 6, matinee and night Satur- day, Oct. 7, said: "I don't know when a play impressed me so much as "Ex- perience." It reminded me of "Pil- grims Progress" and "Experience" is a play it would be well for everybody to see." Last season "Experience" was so popular in Rhode Island it broke every record in the theatrical history of Providence by playing for three weeks at the Providence Opera House, in order to accommodate the people, it was necessary to give break- fast matinees. "Experience" also ran for nine months in New York, seven months in Chicago and five months in Boston, establishing new records for attendance in those cities. New Course in Scientific Latin A new course in Latin is announced by Professor Crittenden, designed espe- cially for students who do not ex- pect to take a regular course in Latin in college, but who have hhd four years in high school and now wish to: turn their knowledge of the language to practical account in scientific or professional work. It consists in the reading and interpretation of scien- tific Latin and the study of terms used in law, medicine, and the sciences, de- rived from Latin and Greek. It may be elected as a four-hour course, or as two two-hour courses, either of which may be taken separately. Lit? Law? Engineer? Medic?

Hobbs will publish in the October 4 issue of the Outlook an article on military training, in col- leges and universities. Prof. Hobbs has given this matter much study and this summer made a special trip to Washington in order to confer with the War Department and to ascertain the best conditions under which the University of Michigan could co-oper- ate with the Government in installing the Department of Military Science. The substance of his article is as fol- lows: "Experience has shown that in event of war men of college education quite generally offer their services to the government and rise to positions of commanders, whether they have had previous military training or not. Hence the vital necessity of giving them suitable military education, if the frightful incompetence shown by officers of our Civil War, during the early years of that struggle, is to be avoided in war with a nation really prepared. "As regards to universities and col- leges such as Michigan, Indiana, Kan- sas, and the privately endowed uni- versities of the eastern seaboard, which do not have compulsory mili- tary training, the Defense Act recent- ly passed provides voluntary as op- posed to compulsory military training financially supported by the federal government, and with an organization of uniformed military units as nearly as possible like those of the land grant institutions.

"Students in this advanced group of military studies will receive from the federal government the equivalent of substance or about $85 per year, and will no doubt have the advantage of command as cadet officers. In case the University establishes a department of military science sup- ported by the federal government, this is the system that will have to be adopted.
