DEWEY "One of the first after effects of the war will be a reorganization of Eng- land's educational system," was the prediction of Prof. John Dewey of BALFOUR AND ALLY COMMISSIO0N 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Columbus, Ohio, April 21.-One-fifth of the students in the college of agri- culture of Ohio State university have withdrawn since Wednesday to take up farm work. Several men have withdrawn from other departments for the same purpose.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." Mack Made Students' Directory Editor Gordon C. Mack, '18, was appointed managing editor and George L. Ohs- strom, '18, business manager, of the Students' Directory at the meeting 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.

IE A I) OF C0OM1iTEE M 131 PR ESSIVE REMARKS . ON SITUATION. 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 church of Detroit. One of the men of j held Friday afternoon by the board the division is a member of the church. in control of student publications. Presbyterian Church Huron and Division Streets 10:30 A. M.

No Public Talk Yet ''No public expression df opinion on points of policy would be useful or tolerable until I have had the honor of conferring with your president and learniig his views. I have come here to do what I can to make co-operation easy and effective between those who are striving with all their power to bring about a lasting peace by the only means that can secure it: namely, a successful war. "On my own behalf let me express the deep gratification I feel at being connected in any capacity whatever with events which associate our countries in a common effort for a great ideal. On behalf of my country- men let me express our gratitude for all that the citizens of the United States of America have done to miti- gate the lot of those who, in allied (Continued on Page Six) I I 1U 1 BIG MASS MEETING A 7 Y HILL AUDITORIUM, SUNDAY 7:30 DR.
