Rood AROUSING INTEREST IN MICHIGAN "Talk Michigan to men in your high school, when you are at home for the holidays." This exhortation has fre- quently been made to students about to leave for their vacation. But no comprehensive scheme has ever been devised to carry out the idea. Fourteen Michigan students from Petoskey have hit upon a plan which we believe worthy of adoption by stu- dents from other communities. The Petoskey students have secured a place upon the program of some en- tertainment given by and for the high school students. Their share of the program will consist of a presentation to the high school students of reasons for coming to Michigan. Following the talk they will distribute several hundred copies of a certain student publication to the high school stu- dents. If other student and alumni groups will adopt this or a similar plan, they can do much to bring athletes, schol- ars, and thinkers to Michigan. IN MEMORIAM The news has been flashed over the nation that Jerome Cyril Knowlton, Marshall professor of law, and one of the leading legal authorities in the na- tion, died in Ann Arbor, Tuesday night. Graduates of the old Law depart- ment recall how he made the pages of Blackstone seem as vital as though he himself were the great English jurist working earnestly and ,late by his candle flame. The alumni also re- member the kindly humor of Professor Knowlton, who was one of Michigan's great counterparts of Oliver Wendell Holmes, famed for making dry medi- cal subjects at Harvard sound as in- teresting as story books. Students loved him best perhaps as a real friend, a "regular fellow," and one who liked his universal nickname, "Jerry." At the dame time he rose pre-eminent in his profession. He added another flower to the wreath of glory about the brow of his alma mater. TAKE STEPS FOR PREVENTION, OF SMALL POX EPIDIEMIC One of the latest measures taken to prevent the spread of small pox, is the creation of a special office in the Homeopathic hospital by Dean W. B. Hinsdale. Dr. Ralph Stanley Stauffer has been appointed special medical officer to examine all persons, includ- ing visitors, to reduce the risk as far as possible of admitting small pox and other contagious maladies into the hospital. The University health service is still continuing vaccinations but the num- ber of students treated has greatly decreased in number. Yesterday morning there were 38 vaccinations, making a total of 906 this fall. We can paper that room during the holidays. C. H. Major & Co. Phone LAUDS GIRLS' CONCERT SENIOR LAW ANSWERS CRITICISM OF STUDENT WHO COMPLAINED OF PRODUCTION Editor, The Michigan Daily: It was with no little surprise and with somewhat considerable constern- ation that I read the "mal a propos" communication assailing not only the work of an established campus organ- ization, but criticising, what I believe was. a very appropriate and fair "write-up" of the concert given by the combined forces of the Girls' Glee club and tihe Masques last Thursday night. True it may be that the pen is might- ier than the sword, but on an occasion like this I believe the sword would be more to the point. Such an unknown champion for the freedom of the press who had the temerity to conceal his identity under the shibboleth "A Stu- dent" should be smoked out and sum- marily dealt with. Whether (A Student) is just a plain misogynist or a misanthrope in gener- al was hard to discern from his mis- sive, indications point to the latter for nothing seemed to please this indiv- idual's astute sensory organs, but the soft vibrations of the harp, for his sake I trust there are many harps in the next world for certainly such an individual is not to be satisfied in this commonplace orb. His funnel-like criticism will not hold water, or logic either for that matter. He states the production giv- en by the Girls' Glee club was no good, because, no reason given, the Masque performance was a fizzle for the same reason. Q. E. D. His math- ematical sense of proof should tell him such statements are mere prattle and bear no weight. True again the plot in the "Worsted Man" was not of the Jules Verne type nor was the de- portment of the Girls' Glee club such as one would expect to see at the Winter Garden. They were, simply speaking, what they were and nothing more. That the entire evening was a complete success cannot be doubted for a minute if the enthusiastic recep- tionl accorded by the audience was an indication. The girls must have all worked hard to produce so pleasing an evening's entertainment, and all credit is theirs. Intelligent criticism is the ability to judge the beauties and faults by means of comparison with productions of a similar nature in the same class, not indiscriminate muck-raking. Let such teach others, who themselves excel, And censure freely, who have written well. '17 LAW.

Editor, The Michigan Daily: In the Times-News for December 9, was published an article in which I am mentioned in connection with the strike of the girls in the Hoover fac- tory. I wish to inform the people of Ann Arbor of the real facts as far as I am concerned. I had absolutely no knowledge of the strike. I did not, even know that the girls of the Hoover had a grievance. I had been through the factory twice and had been more interested, really, in other depart- ments than in the girls' departments. I knew but afew.of the girls employed and had never discussed things with any one of them. Any "call" that I may think I have had never called me to become even known to the Hoover girls. Few knew I existed. I was never consulted before hand or even notified afterwards 'by any girl. It was not until Mr. Hoover, himself, called me up Friday night to blame me for what had happened, that I knew that anything had happened. No one could have been more surprised than I was. After Mr. Hoover called me up, however, I went to find out what the trouble was, with the result that I have found out the true state of af- fairs. I hope that publicity will be given this local event, and that others will take the pains to inform themselves, first hand, of conditions, as I have taken pains to do since being notified by Mr. Hoover.
