Kreuser, '17, tells of "Pub- lic Education in Germany" in the third installment of a series of five articles about that country. The education of the German peo- ple is in the hands of the various state governments; that is, the govern- ments of Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtem- berg, Baden, Saxony, and so on, all have their independent yet strongly centralized systems. But all educa- tion is more or less based upon the same general scheme, the best example of which is found in the Prussian sys- tem. In this short discussion I shall therefore limit myself to that. A centralized state system of edu- cation as opposed to a municipal sys- tem, as we have in America, has one great advantage: It has no difficulty in concentrating upon one all-prevading principle. Such a principle is well expressed in the Prussian school law which says: "The aim of the German school is to sow the seeds of religiously moral sentiment in the children so that they may become citizens whose inner worth can secure the welfare and preservation of the state," and "to give them the capacity for self-sacri- fice, the determination to sacrifice life and property for a great ideal." It is seen, thei'efore. that the schools do not merely serve as an agent for the pounding of dry facts into the heads of the German boys and girls. but that they are a very significant factor in making the people good patriots. These ideas are again em- phasized during the service in the army, which serves as an important educational factor in the life of the people. The Germany army offers a chance for all men to improve their knowledge along many lines by teach- ing them trades. We may distinguish three classes1 of education in Germany, the tution in all cases being either free or very low. Special allowance is made in the< cases of deserving poor boys. The first class of education may bef The second class is that preparatory for a technical or commercial career Great emphasis is placed upon modern languages, mathematics, and science together with the ordinary high schoo subjects. In the third class, great emphasis is placed upon ancient languages and cul ture, although science, mathematics and modern languages also occupy a prominent place. This training usual ly leads to a professional life. From it come the clergy, teachers, lawyers and, physicians. All three classes aim to teach the children first, how to study to the greatest advantage, and second, how to reason correctly. The completion of either class two or three means that the student has at- tained an education equal in quality at least, to that of an American col- lege graduate, and can at the age of 18 or 20 enter immediately upon grad- uate work at a university. Either of these courses require 12 years of hard continued study. The completion of the first nine years entitles the student to a "certificate of privilege" in the army. That means that the person so qualified need serve but one year in the army instead of two or three, and is likely to be promoted to the rank of reserve officer at the end of that year. Space does not permit me to go into letails about the life in these schools. I need only say that discipline is very strict and that the studies require the student's constant application. On the whole we may say that the German schools are extremely ef- ficient and wisely arranged so as to give the pupil, even in the early years of study, a specific training along gen- eral lines of learning he expects to follow in later life.

In a formal statement. Repre- sentative Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropriations committee and leader of Tammany's delegation in the house, announced he would introduce a food embargo resolution. Representatives from rural districts immediately declared that if Fitzgerald pushed his proposed resolution, they would counter, demanding an embargo MARLEY 23 IN.. DEVON 2f IN.

"There are two reasons why con- gress should embargo foodstuffs," said Fitzgerald in a formal statement. "First, it is the most effective weapon in our controversy with Great Britain, in her unwarranted outrages and in- defensible black lists against Ameri- can merchants; second, the embargo should be imposed for purely domestic reasons. The prices of foodstuffs have reached levels that are bringing wide- spread distress to the country."

The winner of the local contest will compete in the state contest, the place of meeting of which has not yet been decided upon.

A. war camps in Mesopotamia, and of the country in which he is working. "I have been at this station for the past few weeks," writes Mr. Johnson, "attempting to organize the recreation for approximately 3,000 convalescent English troops who have been sent here from the Mesopotamian front. We supply stationery for the men, in ad- dition to magazines, newspapers, and other periodicals. "We also have in each center, games, ping-pong tables, and various other recreational mediums. During the week we attempt to follow out a series of evening programs which combine the religious, recreational, and educa- tional. These programs include con- certs, cinema shows, religious meet- ings, and illustrated lectures on a wide variety of subjects. "During the past two weeks," Mr. Johnson continues, "I have had the privilege of quite an extensive travel in southern India. The Indian peo- ples, religion, and customs of the coun- try, have been no less a revelation than the country itself. The India of the past, a country of jungle, wild an'mals, and inferior civilization, no longer exists in spite of the precon- ceived notions of the average un- sophisticated occidental. I confess I was disappointed to see tram cars a much more common sight than ele- phants when I landed in Bombay." Mr. Johnson then, went on to tell of other Michigan men who are doing work in the east. Among them, O. O. Stanchfield, '07, is general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Bangalore, India,1 and Waldo Hunt, '16, and Raymond Flynn, '16, are doing the same work that Mr. Johnson is engaged -in. Mistake in Prof. Humphreys' Hours A mistake was made in yesterday's publication of Prof. W. R. Humphreys' office hours as chairman of the elig-1 ib Iity committee. Professor Hum-1 phreys will meet from 3:30 to 4:30 o'clock on Thursdays, instead of from; 2:30 to 4:30, as was announced. Pro- fessor Humphreys may be seen inl room 8, University hall, not in Tappan1 hall. Miss Emma Goldman, the noted an- archist, who will appear in Ann Ar- bor at Woodman's hall on Dec. 4, 5, 6, and 7, has been called beck to New York from her tour of the central states to speak on "Free Speech" at a meeting of a newly formed organiza- tion interested in the establishment of a fund for the defense of the laboring class. Miss Goldman will be on the same platform with Burke Cochran, a prominent lawyer in the east, and Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the in- dustrial relations commission ap- pointed by the president two years ago. The workers' relief fund has de- veloped from the fact that in times of riot and disorderly activities the union workers have not been afforded adequate protection by the civil au- thorities. In many cases the inno- cent union men have been deprived of a court hearing and placed in confine- ment without bail. Recently officials at Los Angeles have sent three sus- pects to the penitentiary for a life term on the grounds that they were instrumental in forming a bomb plot which resulted in the death of five par- ticipants of a preparedness parade. It is claimed that none of these men were allowed a fair trial since public opin- ion ordered that someone pay the penalty for the castastrophe. Patrick Quinlan, lately pardoned by the governor of New Jersey, was avic- tim of the public's eagerness to con- vict without justification. He was speaking at a union meeting in Pater- son at 8 o'clock, the same night a riot 40 miles away occurred. Promptly the authorities jailed him and it has been just recently that they have perceived their mistake. England Willing to Hear Peace Plans London, Nov. 23.-Discussing peace with a group of American newspaper correspondents today, Lord Derby de- clared that any proposal from Ger- many at this time would be met with the consideration it merited. He added that any proposals "giving up what we are fighting for will not be con- sidered for an instant," and that Eng- land's position still is exactly as Lloyd-George outlined in his recent in- terview with the United Press.
