University Training is Necessary Requisite to Hold German Office Good Drugs-Toilet Articles Chemicals and Laboratory Supplies. You know the Quality is Right. The berbac Son Co. 200-204 E. Liberty St. Otto T. Kreuser, '17, continues his article on the "Social Organization in Germany" in today's Daily., A natural prerequisite for holding high office in Germany is a thorough university training followed by a pro- cess of elimination during the course of the career of the office holder. Thus the high state officials form the higher social class because they ans- wer fully both conditions, that of edu- cation and of occupation. The class closely associated with this and almost on a par with it, is composed of persons of university training who are qualified for state service and will sooner or later be- long to that class. This class in- cludes the managers of large cities. Next follow those who have had some higher school training such as that of the gymnasium or its equivel- ant, (an education equal to a college training in this country). Among these we may class heads of important corporations, mayors of small towns, minor state officials, such as postmast- ers, district superintendents of rail- ways, and large wholesale and retail merchants. Further, there are in- cluded owners of large hotels, teachers in common schools and lesser city of- ficials. Then cone the class of burghers who follow trades and possess a prim- ary education, but still own independ- ent businesses, such as harness mak- ers, cabinet makers and small con- tractors. Next in line are small shop keepers, owners of small rest'aurants, pettyl government officials like mail carriers and railway trainmen.; Finally there is a class of ordinary, laborers, namely those engaged in a trade, peasants, agricultural workersI and lastly unskilled laborers. This is approximately the division3 into social classes that can be observed. There is no distinct line of demarca- tion between any two social classes, but it may be said that there is a dis- tinct division between academically, trained persons on the one hand and7 merchants and laborers on the other. But this division is by no means sot strict that no social intercourse takest place between the classes. In fact, be- tween any one, and the next following, marriage may take place-a distinct proof that no caste system exists. There is, however, no difficulty in ris- ing from one class into another. This frequently happens. All that is neces- sary is that a young man attain the necessary educational qualifications and has of course high intellectual capabilities. For example: The son of a mailcarrier or shopkeeper could become a high government official or army officer if these conditions were satisfied. One of the best known Ger- man generals in the present war is of humble parentage. Apart from an economic unrest which is common to all countries at the present time there seems no fric- tion among classes. On the whole it is realized that those best qualified fill the highest positions. A feeling of solidarity, however, exists in each class. This is especially true among the laboring class and finds expression in socialism, (which is, however, chiefly founded on economic grounds). Such a feeling of solidarity also finds expression in an educational quasi-ar- istocracy, due in some extent to the fact that state officials are subject to frequent transfer from one town to an- other and their social life is not root- ed in the community in which they live. What I have said about social class- es pertains not only to the town that I have accepted as a type, but to the whole Empire. In large cities a cap- italist class in our sense of the word has made its appearance. As a mere wealth has not seemed worth while striving for to the German people the classification which I have laid bare may be accepted as more or less per- manent. The conclusion I wish to arrive at is, that, though German society is or- gaized into classes on the basis of occupation and education, it is on the whole democratic. The continuance of the present system is assured by the wonderful system of education and the realization of the people that it is on the whole wise and practical and con- ductive to the best results for the en- tire nation. x t \, Z.

If any are left after that date they will. be placed on sale at the Union and will cost 75 cents. At present the tickets are being sold to members for 50 cents. A Camp )Davls dance will be held at the Union on Dec. 8. The usual cus- tom of having the ladies wear "middy" blouses and the men their old camp- ing clothes and bandanas will be fol- lowed this year. I as much as there is $50 in the .treasury as a remainder of the mess fund, the committee in charge of the affair has decided to introduce an ex- pensive novelty on this occasion. The freshmen decided to have a smoker on Dec. 7 at their assembly yesterday. Mr. W. B. Shaw, the sec- retary of the Alumni association, ad- dressed the class. The subject of his talk was "The Alumni Association and the Michigan Union." m N BACHE REVIEW CLIMS 8 HOUR LAW MISTAKE Magazine Says Adamson Bill Has Awakened Employers to Dang- er of Arbitration ENGINEERING NEWS , THAT FIT OVERC OAT Prof. J.

Furthermore the salaries offered are on the whole, larger than those of- fered at this time last year. Positions which carry with them a salary of from $75 per month to $3,000 per year are available for men who can start to work immediately. Sev- eral companies have already offered positions to the prospective graduates of next June. The Delco and West- inghouse companies have sent in ap- plications for senior electricals.

At least 900 members are expected before the end of the year as new ones are be- ing enrolled every day. The highest record in the past was 820 in 1913-14 when the dues were still only twenty-five cents. In 1914-15 the dues were raised to fifty cents and the membership decreased. Last year the enrollment was 518. The first week of this% semester showed a gain over last year, 535 hav- ing joined the league. A three day campaign among sorority girls, fol- lowed by a personal canvas of the girlst in League houses increased the num- ber to over 800. There were 50 girls engaged in this campaign and sever- al of them are still working.

Parker, of the engineering college, in the hall of the Detroit Engineering society. "Funda- mentgl Principles anl Calculations of Direct Currents," is the subject of the talks. Other members of the faculty of the electrical engineering department will give talks at regular intervals during the winter. These lectures will cover the important phases of electricity. The course is being held under the auspices of the Detroit-Ann Arbor branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The object of these talks, which are voluntarily given by the speakers, is to enable the men engaged in the elec- trical engineering- field, who have not had the opportunity to go to college, to become familar with the important theories. The other lecturers will be Profess- ors H. H. Higbie, Benjamin F. Bailey and H. S. Sheppard. There are but four more weeks be- fore Christmas.

In the case of the Adamson bill the Review says: "There is a pretty universal conviction that the method of settlement of the eight hour controversy was a mis- take." Seven or eight of the leading railroads have filled injunction suits to avoid the operation of the law to have its constitutionality proved and its meaning explained. There seems to be much question upon this last point for neither the railroad chiefs or the brotherhood managers know ex- actly what the law means. "The rail- road managers," says the Review, "maintain that the old and time-hon- ored milage basis of pay is to be dis- regarded under a correct interpreta- tion of the new bill; that no matter how many miles a man runs a day, he would not be paid for a day's work unless he has worked eight hours, al- though hitherto he would have been paid for a day if he ran 100 miles." The rush of congress to pass the Adamson bill has awakened employers to the danger that threatens the prin- ciple of arbitration. As a result a union of employers has been formed embracing more than 15,000 industrial concerns said to represent eight bil- ion dollars of capital and who have in their employ more than 7,000,000. This organization is called the na- tional conference board and its object s to investigate every problem of the kind to gain the facts of the case for the public, labor, and the government. "The Bache Review" also comments at some length on the automobile in- dustry in the United States. "The growth of the automobile business which has been enormous in the last few years is now exceeded in volume only by steel and cotton. The United States will undoubtedly hold its lead n automobile manufacturing, as it is he only country fitted to manufacture motor cars cheaply, by reason of its having already attained production in arge volume." .,, 'V V 1' I °, n: . 1 ' 1 \ I We have an overcoat that will fit YOU.
