Removes Deficit
All New iMembership Pledges
Aplied to Fund for New
Club House
to hel
Reports of the officers and commit-
tees of the Woren's league read be-
fore the annual meeting yesterday aft-
ernoon in Barbour gymnasium, in-
dicated not only that the deficit of
$800 incurred by the failure of the
Shakespearean pageant last year, in
addition to all regular expenses of the
year's activities had been paid, but
that there is a balance on hand of
$127.
This means that all new membership
pledges will be applied to the fund for
a new club house at Palmer field, or
another dormitory for women.
Among the more important activi
ties of the league this year, have been
the inauguration of the life member-
ship campaign by means of which $200
has already been secured, the third an-
nual vocational conference, and the
war relief work carried on every Tues-
day in the gymnasium.
It was announced that the meeting
of the intercollegiate association for
self-government, to which Michigan
is accustomed to send representatives,
will be suspended this year, and the
amount of the expenses of the dele-
gates, about $750, be turned over to
the Red Cross.

since these birds are al bost entirey
devoid of singing ability, their only
utterances being unmusical call notes.
It is comparatively easy to identify a
dead warbler with the aid of a bird
book, but irany species can hardly
be identified by an expert when they
are alive and flitting about the trees.
This is especiall- true of the duller
colored females and young. For this
reason it is best at first to attempt to
recognize only the male,.

In stating a conviction as to the
value of compulsory military or naval
training for all male citizens, it is not
necessary to support any specific law,
or to enter into the vexed question of
conscription for service in the present
national necessity. Aside from these
issues, training for all young men may
be urged from the standpoint of the
nation and of the individual, and the
possibilities of evil are met with a log-
ical belief in the greater advantages.
For the nation, general compulsory
training for youths in the later years
of their educational period may be
considered first as simple insurance.
If ever we declare war again, or, as
is more likely, if war is declared by an
oi4ended nation, we may not be so
lucky as to have the greatest navies
and the greatest armies in the world
between our enemies and us. After
ten years of compulsory training we
would not need a friendly foreign big
bruther. We would be mature in self-
protection. War is less likely to come
upon us if we are prepared. Despite
the furious iteration of the pacifists it
is still a simple logical proposition
that the capacity to resist reduces the
liability to attack. This may not be
true of some European nations sur-
rounded by historic rivals, but it is
true of us. So far as our own dis-
position toward offensive warfare is
concerned, it does not seem likely that7
if we knew something about it we
would be more aggressive than we are
nov in our entirely unsupported con-
viction that we can "lick the world."
If we do not engage in future wars
the training would still be of very
great value to the state. Properly
carried out, it may become a vital part
of the general education resulting in a
wiider appreciation of the ideals of
civic and national responsibility. It
could be used to inculcate certain
virtues which our elementary system
of schooling singularly fails to estab-
lish, consciousness of public duty and
a desire to serve. These virtues are1
latent in all of us; education shouldf
make them effective for the common
good.f
subordination, for team-work. Disci-
pline is not properly thought of, nor
need it be administered, as something
to which we are subjected, or submit,
but as a means, the only means by
which we can make ourselves effective
through organization. Discipline as
a fetich is no more dangerous than
irresponsibility as an obsession, and at
present we are most inclined toward
the latter.
Youths Take Wrong View
Too many of our youthful citizens
now look upon the social order as of-
fering them an opportunity to get
something, not as a chance to do some-
thing. They consider themselves not
as potential parts of the machine but
as merely consumers of its advan-
tages. A large part of our internal
troubles as a nation come from an in-'
harmonious diversity of purposes-
the selfish refusal to consider our own
needs in relation to the needs of oth-
ers. It may be too sanguine an ex-'
pectation, but many of the believers in
universal military training as a prin-
ciple think of it as a means of social-
izing this discordant, haphazard effortl
into an effective unity. Contrary to
the superficial view, the prime justifi-
cation for universal training is not
physical but spiritual. It is hoped that
it may awake in America, as it has in
European countries where it has been
wisely administered, the sense of op-
portunity not for aggrandizement but
for service.-The Inlander.

Lillian Walker may be seen at the

adapted from the successful Broad-
way production of the fame name.
Miss Walker plays the part of a Scotch
lassie which she handles particularly
well. Those who have seen this pro-
duction declare that the role was
made for her or else she was made forI
the role. She is unusually attractive,
as little "Kitty," a bonny lass of the
land of heather and thistles. The
story is truly refreshing,
Besides "Kitty MacKay," it will show
part six of "Patria" with Mrs. Vernon
Castle in the leading role.

Prof. Robert W. Hegner, of the

54, Natural Science building.
These eggs were collected by Pro-
essor Hegner in northeastern Iowa

irds that are common around Ann
rbor. Fifty species are represented
a the collection and the sets are ac-
ompanied by photographs of the nests

ag the date, position, and structure
f the nest.
Some of the most interesting sets
re those of the red-tailed hawk.
'hese show remarkable variations in
oloration, size, shape, and number.
ther series of sets that serve to show
ariation are those of the spotted
andpiper, blue jay, brown thrasher,

New York, April 27.-Fearing that
the average farm hand is an unfit
companion for boys, Prof. 0. S. Mor-
gan, head of the department of agri-
culture at Columbia university, is
sending a warning to parents whose'
sons are planning to spend the sum-
iner as farm laborers that the environ-
ment should be investigated before the
boys are allowed to go to the farm.
"Every parent should investigate
most carefully the particular farm to
which the boy is to be sent," Professor
Morgan says. "Wherever it is possible
the parents should have a personal
acquaintance with the farmer and his
employees. The average farmer is aI
satisfactory companion for boys, but
his farm hands are usually unfit com-
panions for boys from 12 to 16 years
of age."

Advantages to Individual
Advantages to the individual are
less obvious but quite as important.
He would be given an excellent phy-
sical training and an elementary ac-
quaintance with sanitation, hygiene
and first aid. He might learn the first
principles of co-ordinate effort and
organization which he could later ap-
ply to other problems. Above all he
would be made aware that he has a
country and that a country has him.
Four Chief Dangers
There are four chief dangers to be
faced as the result of such a change
in our national life: The dangers of
acquiring a military caste, of losing a
productive period out of every young
man's life, of subjecting young men
to lax moral conditions in military
camps, and of narrowing the theoret-
ical rights of individuals in the name
of discipline.
The first danger may be faced
cheerfully when we consider the ex-
perience of France, Switzerland, and
other democracies. A militaristic caste
is a menace when it is part of a defi-
nite caste system supported by a cen-
tral autocracy. Those who believe
that such a condition could arise in
the United States have, little faith in
the "democracy" of the American peo-
ple. They must consider it less stable
and less natural than the democracy
of the French and Swiss people-since
that has not been corroded by general
military training.
The danger of losing six months or
nore out of every young man's pro-
ductive years can be met by adminis-
trative skillfulness. Men under train-
ing could serve general public enter-
prises in place of men now hired for
the purpose at public cost, and part
of the loss could be thus compen-
sated for. Much of the time put in at
drill would be taken not from produc-
tive pursuits but from sport, which,
whatever else it might be considered,
would not be a loss economically.
Distrust Hurts
Apprehension as to the moral dan-
ger to which youths would be subject-
ed is founded largely on our distrusts
