SAYS PROF. DEWEY
"One of the first after effects of the

land's educational system," was the
prediction of Prof. John Dewey of

LAND "SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA'
BRINGING SERIOUS IEWIOf wl
formation in Alumni Memorial hall to- I Columbia university in his lecture,
morrow.
Three letters of recommendation
must accompany these applications.
The letters should be from citizens of
good standing, who can speak for the
character, personality, and reputation
of the applicant. Previous military
experience is not necessary, although,
all things being equal, preference will
be given to men who have had train-
ing.
It will be necessary for each man
to take a preliminary physical exam-
ination before sending in his letters
and blank. This examination will be
made in Ann Arbor by local physic-
ians. The report of this test will be
sent in with the application, and will
in large measure determine whether
the man will be allowed to take the
second examination.
The second test will be given by a
regular army officer, and will be rigor-
ous in its requirements. The student
must pass this examination satisfac-
torily, and be accepted as to character
and personality before he will be ad-
mitted to the camp.
ONE-FIFTH OF OHIO STATE'S
AGGIES RESIGN FROM COLLEGE
Columbus, Ohio, April 21.-One-fifth
of the students in the college of agri-
culture of Ohio State university have
withdrawn since Wednesday to take
up farm work. Several men have
withdrawn from other departments
for the same purpose. The office of
the secretary has been crowded with
applicants for their credits, but many
have been refused them because of de-
ficient scholarship. One county agent
in Ohio has informed the head af the
college of agriculture that 2,000 men
are needed in his county alone for
farm work.
Redlands ~U. ex-President Speaks
J. N. Field, founder and first presi-
dent of the University of Redlands,
Calif., will speak on "The Investment
of a Life," at the morning service of
the First Baptist church today. Mr.
Field is now on a speaking tour of
the country, and recently spoke in
New York.
Naval Militia Presented with Bibles
Members of the eighth division of
the Michigan Naval Militia were yes-
terday presented with hand book edi-
tions of the New Testament by the
Phillathea class of the First Baptist
"Education for Democracy," delivered
last night in the auditorium of the
Natural Science building.
Professor Dewey showed that Ger-
many after her defeat by Napoleon
reorganized her educational system as
a means of preparedness. France did
likewise after her defeat in the Franco-
Prussian war. "England," he said,
"has proved the exception because of
her numerous civil and religious
strifes."
Individualism Suppressed
"We have never seriously considered
what kind of a public education is an
indispensible requisite to a country'
that plans to be a democracy. We have
assumed that the traditional methods
of education peculiar to past ages and
forms of government can be retained
in a democracy.
"Our modern democracy is a product
of the industrial revolution. Indi-
vidualism is suppressed. The days of
the pioneer are gone. We must reor-
ganize our educational system to meet
the new conditions.
"Labor today is riot looked upon as
a commodity as in the past, but as
mechanical energy in which the
psychological element enters as well
as the physical. The tendency of the
modern industrial system is to sup-
press individual imagination, initia-
tive, and ambition.
System in Two Parts
"Our educational system is divided
into two parts. On the one hand we
have that cultural education which is
purely ornamental and reminiscent of
the past, while on the other hand we
have the modern technical or voca-
tional education intended to only
sharpen the tools of our industrial
machine and which puts the humani-
tarian and social side in the back
ground.
"Both are dangerous to our de-
mocracy. The educational system of
the future must lay stress on the so-
cial end of life. We must train our
youths in the universities so that when
they go out into the world they will
be equipped to undertake the constant
reconstruction in our social and eco-
nomic life necessary in a growing de-
mocracy."

BRITISI
BRAI;
OFFENSIVE NEARS CAM-
DRIVE WEDGE SOUTI[
OF LENS
London, April 2.-Fleld Marshal
Haig rolled his war machine closer to
Cambrai today, and pushed his steel
wedge still further southwest of Lens.
London tonight waited for Haig to
take his turn at smashing the Germans
all along the line next week. Not that
the British forces have not been stead-
ily progressing during the present
week; but experts pointed out that
during the past 40 odd days since the
British offensive started, the Franco-
British plan of strategy has been ap-
parently to alternate blows on the
Hindenburg line.
The French now have been at it
since Monday, and in that time Haig
has been consolidating his newly won
positions, here and there forging
aherd. The Freneb, far to the south,
kept the Germans too busily on the
del eisive to permit of much strength
in their deeperate counter attacks
against the British.

asked to come out to the next drill.

Monday and Friday afternoon at 4
o'clock, and every Wednesday evening
at 7 o'clock. The place of meeting
will be Waterman gymnasium.

phia where he was called by Prof. J.

pany formation they spent their timer
in squad drill, the men in the engi-
neering college planning to keep to
the fundamentals for at least two
weeks, before they start on the more
difficult processes of company and bat-
talion formation.

By John Grandens
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)i
Berlin, via London, April 21.-Re-i
placement of "the bureaucratic
regime" by "parliamentary control"<
was demanded in resolutions adoptedt
by the general committee of the0so-
-cialist party here today.
"We confirm the decision of the
workers of Germany to emerge from
the war as a free state," the resolu-
tions asserted. "We demand the re-
moval of all inequalities and the re-1
placement of the bureaucratic regime
by parliamentary control. We rejectE
the entente's declaration that a con-'
tinuation of the war is necessary to1
force Germany to establish a liberal
regime. It is the German people's own
affair."
Austrian socialists in attendance at
the meeting likewise approved these
resolutions.

ASTONISHED AT IDEA OF
NO U. S. MEN IN EUROPE
Emphasizes Fact That War Will be
of Long Duration; Pleased at
Union of Two Countries
By George Martin
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
"Somewhere in the United States,"
April 21.--Spirited out of England and
ushered into America under a cloak
of mystery, the British war commis-
sion, headed by Secretary Arthur J.
Balfour, arrived in this country today
to tell it how it can help to win the.
war.
.5carcely had the cheers and waving
of flags at the rural village at the point
of reception faded into the prospective
and the gold braided officers of the
army, navy, and air corps disappeared
into their staterooms, when the tall,
slender form of Balfour appeared per-
sonally to tell his first message to the
.American people. Summed up it was
this:
War Intenself' Serious
"Realize, people of America, that
you face a real fight, and be prepared
for the great individual sacrifice, for
it will be demanded."
Almost the first .act of the British
minister as he and his party of 20
boarded the train which is now speed-
ing toward the waiting American war
councellors at Washington was to ex-
plode the theory that this country
faces a short, bloodless war. Balfour
made it clear that it will be long that
it will tax our resources of men, that
it will requiresall we have of financial
strength, that it will command all our
commercial and industrial energy,
that it will involve the individual ef-
fort of every true American.
Balfour to Help
"We have come to help America
turn the first page in a new chapter
in the history of mankind," the tall,
snowy haired diplomat said smilingly
but earnestly. "The United States
does not yet realize all it will be call-
ed upon to do, and what we know it
will do. Time will bring the war home
to you as it has done to us.'
"But," it was suggested, "there is
an impression that we will be called
upon to do nothing but make muni-
tions and build ships."
Balfour's expression showed clear-
ly that he was astonished. After a
pause he said significantly:
"You shall see. I appreciate that it
will be quite a little time before the
people of the United States thoroughly
realize what they are 'up against' to
borrow an American phrase, and I
am quite sure that when Germany
forced the United States into war with
her, she did not realize what she was

means that can secure it: namely, a
successful war.
