THE FAIRNESS OF THE VOTE
The all-campus vote which will take
place tomorrow has been arranged for
the purpose of placing the students of
the University of Michigan on record
in regard to the question of compul-
sory military training.
The voter will be asked to express
himself affirmatively or negatively on
two propositions. First, whether he

Five chairmen of different depart-
ments of the University "Y" social

branch of the work co-operate with
the university hospital authorities
and visit by means of teams of vol-
unteers the children confined in the
hospital, who have no visitors on
Sunday.
Joseph D. Naftel, '18, is chairman
of the division dealing with the teach-
ing of immigrants. Work is now be-
ing done in this connection in the
Perry school. Miss Dicken of
that school has general charge of the
work and one night a week is devoted
to the work by the men engaged. Sev-
eral noon day meetings at the various
factories in the city have been ar-
ranged. Edward O. Snethen, '18L,
who has for several years done work
on lecture platforms will give short
programs consisting in short talks
and impersonations.
Several clubs are being organized
at the city Y. M. C. A. under the di-
rection of Alexander C. Crockett, '19,
who is chairman of the department for

the deputation workers, in charge of
Paul D. Womeldorf, '18, several dates
have been secured for team visitation.I

STUDENTS
TO TRAIN
AN
AS
favors the adoption of general orders
49 as soon as possible, making drill
compulsory for underclassmen in the
literary and engineering colleges, and
optional for all other students in all
departments. Second, whether he is
willing to endorse compulsory train-
ing for all students in the University
to take effect as soon as possible.
Many have felt that an all-campus
vote upon a question which only ap-
plies to the underclassmen is unfair
to the first and second year men. The
committee in charge of the vote has,
taken steps to avid any possible un-
fairness in the ballot, and to secure
results which will indicate a sincere.
unselfish expression of opinion. When
a student votes upon the specific war
order which would secure for Michi-
gan an adequate and efficient system
of training for the University, he will
also vote upon the question of com-
pulsory training which would make
training compulsory for every student
of the University with a view to aid-
ing the nation in preparing for any
emergency. The purpose of the vote
then is two-fold; to indicate to the
Regents how students feel in regard
to the adoption of training under an
act already provided by the govern-
ment, and to place Michigan students
on record before the nation in regard
to their willingness to aid the United
States in war preparations by impos-
ing upon themselves compulsory mili-
tary training. With regard to any
such plan adopted, it is made plain
that students in subjecting themselves
to compulsory training will bear no
more obligation to a call to arms in
case of war than they already hold
as citizens of the United States. The
object of the training will be not to
force them into arms, but to prepare
them to more efficiently carry out the
obligations they have assumed in liv-
ing under the American flag.

Editor, The .Michigan Daily:-
In the interest of a clear under-
standing of what students will be ask-
ed to vote upon next Thursday, may I
reply to that part of Mr. Winchell's
communication in this morning's issue
of your paper, which refers to the
proposed limitation of compulsory
military training to the underclass-
men. It is not unlikely, and indeed it
was discussed at the meeting, that it
will be found wise later to make train-
ing compulsory for the upperclass-
men also; but the plan proposed is
the only one for which the war de-
partment has as yet made provision,
and it is moreover the one tried out
and in use today at every other state
university except that of Kansas.
There is in addition the great prac-
tical difficulty of immediately organ-
izing a body of some seven thousand
men, without having available such
a corps of student officers as is the
heritage of earlier years of training.
As the plan now stands in the pro-
posed recommendation, Michigan will
provide an entire student brigade of
three regiments, and probably in ad-
dition a regiment of volunteers from
the upperclassmen, graduates and fac-
ulties. Compulsory training will
necessitate an adjustment of class
schedules, and those of the freshmen
particularly being more nearly of one
type, this can be accomplished more
easily.
May I also say that the system of
military training now provided for by
the Regents is that of general orders
of the war department No. 48 so modi-
fied as to consist chiefly of lectures
on military science; and that the war
department has requested the Uni-
versity authorities to adopt in its
place G. 0. 49, or the reserve officers'
training corps provided by act of
congress since the regential action
was taken and the system now in use
at Harvard and Princeton. It has
also been intimated that with the
great demand for army officers in
this critical juncture, no officer is
likely to be detailed to the Univer-
sity of Michigan unless the more
serious and practical plan of training
s adopted. Let me add my own
opinion that the promptness with
which a detail is finished will depend
very largely upon the interest whichl
the student body and the University
authorities show at this time.
WILLIAM H. HOBBS.
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
The numerous attempts made in
Europe and America to Christianize
the industrial proletariat have com-
pletely failed; they have not succeed-
ed in moving it from its religious in-
difference, which becomes general in
proportion as machine production en-
lists new recruits from the peasants,
artisans, and petty tradesmen into the
army of wage-workers. It is the ma-
chine production that makes the pro-
letariat irreligious.
The laborer of today ignores the ex-
istance of a divine Providence since
he knows that no Heavenly Father
would give him daily bread if he
prayed for two days and two nights
in succession; he knows too well that
if he did not work he would starve,
in spite of all good gods of heaven
and philanthropists of earth. His am-
bition cannot go beyond a raise in
wages and a job that shall last all
the days of the year and all the years
of his life. The labor of the me-
chanical factory puts the wage-worker
in touch withterrible natural forces
unknown to the peasant, but instead
of being mastered by them, he con-
trols them.
The gigantic mechanism of iron and
steel which fills the factory, which
makes him move like an automaton,
which sometimes clutches him, bruises
and mutilates him, does not en-
'ender in him superstitions ter-
ror as the thunder does in the peas-
ant, but it leaves him unmoved for he
lknows that the limbs of the mechanical
monster were fashioned and mounted
by his comrades and that he has but
to push a lever to set it in motion or
stop it.
The machine in spite of its miracu-
lous power and productiveness has no
mystery for the wage-worker, who at-
tains a practical knowledge in scien-
tific principles without having a least
conception of the evolution of science.
The indifference of our modern la-
borers in religious matters is a pro-
duct of their industrial environment.
Popular masses have always elabor-
ated spiritual ideas, which the philoso-t
phers had merely had to refine and toZ
obscure as well as the legends and t
religious ideas which the prietts havet
merely organized into official religions t
and instruments of intellectual op-
pression.r
MAURICE YALE KAPETANSKY, '17Ee
The annual report of the national
board of dental examiners has just
been made public and of all the col-
leges of dentistry in the country whose
graduates tried the examinations that
of Michigan ranks first with an aver-
age of but 1:3 per cent failures. The
report shows that out of the total num-
ber of 85 graduates from Michigan last
year, 75 were examined by eight state
boards and 74 were passed.
A college diploma will no longer
admit dental students to practice as
in former years unless they success-
fully pass the examinations that are
given by the national organization of
the state dental boards.
The cumulative results of tabulating
the state ,board reports for college
graduates for tho year 1910 through
1916 show that Michigan again leads
with an average of three per cent
failures. One of the most important,
.factors in obtaining this average is
the number of w states in which the
graduates of any college have come
up for examination and during the
above period of six years Michigan
graduates have appeared before the
boards of 14 states. In this time 431
of the 489 graduates applied for ex-
amination and only 13 failed.
