Schermerhorn Jr. COMPULSORY TRAINING AGAIN The communication yesterday at- tacking The Daily's stand on the in- troduction of compulsory military training at Michigan contained one point worthy of serious consideration. "Please name the "many state uni- versities" where the men are now competent to step out of the ranks and occupy officers' positions?" asked the communicant. We had not thought it necessary to print a complete list of such institutions, but possibly do- ing so will partially discredit the as- sumption of Mr. Wright that establish- ing compulsory training at Michigan Will mean turning it into a military school. The universities of California, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne- braska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia, in addition to Wis- consin,'Illinois,'and Cornellmentioned previously, all require military train- ing of their students. All of these state universities have well establish- ed courses in military science and turn out men who are competent to occupy officers' positions. The question of the communicant, "How long before we find that it is 'progressive' to advocate the re-intro- duction of compulsory chapel service -or compulsory training in Latin and Greek," is just about as much to the point as a question we might ask as to how long before it will be "re-ac- tionary" to abolish compulsory at- tendance at classes and compulsory payment of taxes. We are still of the opinion that the Chicago alumni are doing an invalu- able service to their University and to their country in organizing a cam- paign to establish compulsory military training with adequate facilities to handle it at Michigan. A LESSON FROM '98 It was in April, 1898. Our nation had declared war upon Spain. On the campus at the University of Michigan, thrilled to the full ardor of their youthful patriotism, a full regi- ment of students drilled every morn- ing. A band's throbbing martial air, the University colors, spick and span uniforms, shining new rifles turned the slumbering green where the Chem- istry building now stands to a galaxy of sound and color. Their nation needed men. Governor Pingree, the Grand Old Man of Mich- igan, wrestling with the problem at the capitol building, heard about the University regiment and pondered. He then sent for his son-in-law, Eli Sut- ton, a Michigan graduate, to come to the University of Michigan campus and get recruits. A captaincy was of- fered to Sutton as an inducement. Three days later, Mr. Sutton left the campus. He needed 100 men to form a student company. There were 12 such companies drilling at Michigan, and he asked for but one of 100 men. He could not raise it. The situation today is not exactly analagous. But reflection upon this deplorable incident of the past may, perhaps, clean out the ranks of today some of the fly-by-night ardor, leav- ing a fighting machine, stripped for action. The Regents come up to bat today for the third time on the Conference proposition, and we hope they won't "strike out." The "Castle walk" should again be- come popular on the campus now that the major has arrived. The pen may be mightier than the sword but how about carrying a gun? They are trying to revive, "I want to go back to Michigan, Down on the Farm." SCHOLARSHIPS TO BRYN MAWR BEING OFFERED STUDENTS Fellowships and scholarships rang- ing in value from $200 to $525 are of- fered by the department of social econ- omy and social research at Bryn Mawr and applications should be put in at once through the Graduate school of this University. One fellowship and several scholarships are available in the department of psychology to stu- dents desiring to do major work in social psychology and minor work in social economy and social research. Opportunity is offered by the college settlement of Philadelphia for two graduate students to reside at the set- tlement, paying a nominal rate for board, to take at least six hours of practice work at the settlement, and to pursue courses in the Carola Woer- ishoffer department of social econo- my and research at Bryn Mawr. Appli- cations for these positions should be made by June 1, 1917. DAI Sanitary Dry Cleaning Co. 514 E. WILLIAM ST.

At the meetings, which are to be held every other Friday evening, some faculty member or student who is in- terested in South America, will lec- ture on some pertinent topic. Those students who spent last summer in the industrial plants of this country will tell of their experiences there. In this way the social and economic prob- lems of South America can be com- pared with those of the United States. The addresses will all be delivered in Spanish. In order to train the mem- bers in the art of conducting a meet- ing, a different chairman will preside each time. There is only one per- manent office, the secretaryship, which is filled by G. A.

Son Born to Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Moore Mr. and Mrs. Earl V. Moore are re- ceiving congratulations on the birth of a son, Wednesday, April 25. Mr. Moore is a member of the faculty of the Un- iversity School of Music. O, say, can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming! And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; 0! say,,does that star-spangled banner still wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave? On that shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foes haughty host in, dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As, it fitfuly blows, half conceals half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream; 'Tis the star-spangled banner! 0, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave; And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 0! thus be-it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"; And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. -Francis Scott Key. A large force of carpenters and workmen is now at work in Hill audi- torium making preparations for the May festival. The stage, besides be- ing elevated 18 inches, is being extend- ed out over four rows of seats and the first five rows of seats directly in front of the stage have also been raised 18 inches. The steel work for the Choral union seats is being in- stalled and when completed will af- ford seating room for about 300 sing- ers. The work is progressing rapidly and will probably be completed by the end of the week. The Choral union will hold a re- hearsal at 2:30 o'clock Sunday after- noon in Hill auditorium. Admission tickets will be given out at that time and it is important that all members be present. Miss Nora Crane Hunt, contralto of the School of Music faculty, and Mr. Chase B. Sikes, '17, baritone, appeared as soloists in Jackson last evening, singing the contralto and baritone roles in "Elijah." Mr. Anthony J. Whitmire, violinist, of the School of Music faculty; Mr. James Hamilton, tenor, who is doing special wprk under Tneodore Harri- son; Chase B. Sikes, '17. baritone, and Frank A. Taber, '17, organist, appeared in concert Tuesday evening at the Grand River Methodist Episcopal church in Detroit. There is opportunity in The Michi- gan Daily Ads. Read them. Wisconsin: Seniors and juniors of the agricultural college will be given full credit in their courses if they leave the university now and take up food production for the government. This decision came as a result of a national conference held at St. Louis to determine food needs. Iowa: Girls of the university have displayed a remarkable interest in the Red Cross classes now being organ- ized to train assistant nurses for the war. The enrollment is above the 100 mark. Minnesota: Student-manager con- trol of intramural athletics has been inaugurated at the University of Min- nesota as a result of a long campaign. It is hoped to bring the athletic board into better contact with the student body than was possible formerly. Yale: University publications of Yale will be continued during the re- mainder of the year regardless of the war. The Yale News has been reduced in size because of the abolition of the sports department. Kansas: Cooks for the army will be trained in the home economics de- partment of the University of Kansas so that the soldiers going from the university will receive fit food while in camp. All work will be carried on with army rations and facilities. Iowa: Recitation periods have been reduced to 45 minutes by action of the board of deans of Iowa State uni- versity. Five days each week all men of the university will be required to drill and several elective military courses will be open as well. Phys- ical training has been abolished. Harvard: Coaches of the different branches of athletics will be retained at least until the end of the year so that individuals may secure proper training. It is the opinion at the university that the students will soon want some form of athletics after the first confusion of military organization has subsided. Try The Daily for service.
