Garrison CHICAGO BANKERS' PROGRES- SIVE MOVE It is with pleasure that we learn of the invitations received by Presi- dent Hutchins and Professor Dowrie to attend the dinner given by the Bankers' club of Chicago, to the lead- ing financial men, packers, manufact- urers, railway presidents, and presi- dents and professors of banking of the more important universities of the middle west. Whether this meeting will have any affect upon financial matters in this country with reference to the peace proposals of Germany, we cannot say, but we consider it of great importance in the relation of university training to practical work in the field of bank- ing. In the past bankers have felt an aversion to the college trained man who goes into the banking profession. They have felt that practical exper- ience was the vital factor, and have given but little consideration to the theoretical point of view as propound- ed in the universities. Now it seems that this dislike has been overcome and the banking men are about to give theoretical training the position of importance that it deserves. By so doing, a much wider field is open to the university graduate than has been the case heretofore. Instead of meeting with cold rebuffs, these men trained in banking and finance will be warm- ly received. We congratulate the Bankers' club of Chicago. THE PROFESSION OF TEACHING' The recent decision of the Univer- sity of Edinburgh to give special de- grees to those students who carry successfully a certain amount of work in education, is worthy of discussion in that it brings to our attention the fact that teaching, at one time the greatest of professions, is at present looked upon with considerable con- tempt by many. "When I fail in everything else," says Mr., Average Business Man, pat- ting fondly his latest dividend, "I'll turn to teaching." This view is not only unwarranted, but it is exceedingly dangerous. There is no profession which plays so important a part in influencing the actions of the people. In fact, it is probably even more active in swaying public opinion than the press. That this profession should be sneered at is extremely unfortunate. Originally, the M. A. degree meant merely a license to teach. The holder frequently did not avail himself of this opportunity, but he had the right. At that time, teaching was, in every sense, a profession. Then came the great wave of commercialism and with it, men laughed at teaching, saying, "There's no money in it." The step taken by the University of Edinburgh is certainly commendable. Perhaps it will lead to restoring teach- ing to its rightful position, a position of equality, if not superiority, with other professions. RE PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS INQUIRE AS TO LAWS GOVERNING CAM: PUS DIVISIONS. To the Editor, The Michigan Daily: Due to the present agitation for the forming of a University branch of the Michigan naval militia, numerous questions have arisen which, if an- swered by the proper authorities (those who understand the law and are in a position to answer), would clarify the issues involved. (1) Under what law is this division organized? Is it the Hay-Chamberlin bill or the Dick law? Or what law? (2) Is there any possibility of this branch being federalized or changed in any other manner so as to incur further obligations? If they are to be federalized when will this occur? (3) What is the real object of this organization? Is it purely and simply a recruiting station under another name which has for its purpose the mustering in of a company of Uni- versity students? (4) If they are not subject to the call of the president, what is the ob- ject in mustering in? (5) Will the members of this Uni- versity branch be given honorable dis- charges at the end of their. college career or if not so discharged under what obligation will they be to the government? (6) In case of war, how would the members of this division be handled? As a unit or would they be scattered in other divisions with the better op- portunity of becoming officers? (7) In case of war if a recruit is not of age (21 years), would he be under obligations without having had his parents consent? It is not our intention to discourage preparedness in any manner whatso- ever, or to suspect the motives of the organizers. However, we have heard of members of state militias being Grafted or forced into the federal serv- ice without being consulted with re- gard to their willingness to enter such service. Therefore, we, as prospective members, feel that some such public statement is due the student body so that those entering will not do so blindly. PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS. Suffrage Club to Join U. S.
