Both countries rea- ize this and are striving for a closer relationship. Russia exerts and will continue to exert an influence on world policies, and the United States should co-operate with her," said Prof. C. L. Meader of the general linguistics de- partment yesterday in his lecture, "De- mocracy in Russia." In his remarks concerning the real democracy in Russia, Professor Mead- er said: "The zemstvos, or elective township assemblies, are the most ful- ly organized and most effective of all the Russian organizations. Their wide range of activities includes the levying of 'soldiers, the maintenance of prisons and courthouses, roads, medical and charitable institutions, a mutual insurance bureau, fire depart- ments, control of taxes and education, and the development of agriculture, industry, and trade. "The peasant family is fundament- ally a labor organization where each member does his or her part," con- tinued the speaker. "The village com- munes have disappeared since the passing of crtain laws in 1906. The government felt that these were labor unions and should be broken up. "Contrary to general opinion, the nobility is democratic," said Professor Meader. "It does not possess a dis- tinct class conscience. This is in a large measure due to the heterogene- ous origin of its members, for the nobility contains Muscovites, Lithuan- ians, and Poles, as well as Slavs. A few of the nobles are enormously rich, but a greater part are poor. "Realism, the most striking char- acteristic of Russian literature, is but a manifestation of democracy," added Professor Meader. "The authors are representative of every class in the empire. Russian literature has been closely identified with legislation, and was largely instrumental in the eman- cipation of the serfs in 1861. "It is unlikely that any reversion to the old regime will occur," said Pro- fessor Meader in conclusion. "The question is how radical the new gov- ernment will be." PROF. C. 0. DAVIS WRITES ON SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION Traces Growth of the Present-Day High School, Discussing Problems Prof. Calvin 0 Davis of the educa- tion department is the author of a book entitled "Pblic Secondary Edu- cation" recently published by the Rand, McNally company. This book treats of the history of public secondary education in the United States, dwelling particularly upon the work done in Michigan along these lines. In connection with the early development of education in this state there are chapters dealing with early branches in the University of Michigan, the academy movement, and the rise and development of the pres- ent day high school. The legal, social, and educational problems which gave impetus to the growth of the latter institution, and affected its character are discussed at some length. At the request of Prof. C. H. Judd of the University of Chicago, who recent- ly conducted a school survey in Grand Rapids, Professor Davis took charge of the work in all grades above thE sixth grade, and his findings are cor tained in the portion of the school survey published which is devoted to the secondary schools. Prof. Charles S. Berry of the education department is the author of the report on defec- tive and exceptional students which also appears in this publication.

VIVIANI THANS U Sa FOR JOINING FRANCE TELLS CONGRESS THAT WE HAVE SWORN TO DO A REPULIC'S DUTY Washington, May 3.-France and America have sworn on the grave of George Washington, on the death beds of soldiers killed in the present war, and on the graves of all European bat- tlefields to do .a republic's duty of bringing other countries to independ- ence, vice-premier Viciani told the house today from the speaker's ros- trum. A free translation of his speech by Representative Medill McCormick is, "Never until my dying day shall I forget the acclamations of the Ameri- can people. If I do not thank you adequately it is not because our grati- tude is lacking, but because the words with which to express it are insuf- ficient. We feel that your sympathy ficient. Wee feel that your sympathy and your enthusiastic assistance comes not only from your heart, but from the jealousy which you have for your honor. We have seen that you fullfil not only the obligations of national 'honor but all at once we have seen unfolded in its charming intimacy the complexity of the American soul. American Soul Is Paradox "When one meets an American he meets a practical man, living for the soul the frankness and vivacity of a affairs of his time, but at the same time one discover in the American new life, the strength which comes from devotion to an ideal, and so, in that American soul we have before us the paradox of the combination of the practical and the ideal. "There is a parallel between your cause and ours. You, like ourselves, carry the mandate of a free people to maintain certain ideals, to exchange certain opinions regarding the tre- mendous problems arising from the war to the end that two nations may, side by side, achieve equality, and lib- erty. Opposed to us is an absolute monarch who seeks to compel others to do his will. "Swear on Grave of Washington" "If your national hero, George Washington could rise from his grave and behold today's war he would him- self proclaim that after a nation has created independence it is bound to defend it before all the world, and not only to maintain its independence, but to create also independence for other nations. We have sworn on the grave of Washington to fight to the end, but not only has it been sworn on the grave of Washington, but also on the graves of the uncounted soldiers who have fallen in this war. It has also been sworn on the death beds of those who have died in the hospitals of Eu- rope, and it has been sworn on the cradles of the newly born. It has been svorn by every lover of freedom from the crade to the tomb. It has been sworn." COMPULSORY RATIONING SEEMS INEVITABLE IN GREAT BRITAIN London, May 3.-"The submarine menace is formidable, but the cabinet has calculated on greater wastage in shipping than has already been ac- complished," declared Lord. Curzon, mier ber of the war cabinet today at a r3eeting in Caxton hall. "The menace will not affect the ulti- mate issue of the war," he concluded. Lord Curzon declared compulsory Sioning in England was inevitable, and said the Russian situation was "still not without anxiety."

BE Washington, May 3.--Speaker Clark came forward as the leader of the fight against the censorship clause in the administration's spy bill when in de- bate in the house this afternoon he declared the clause to be a "flat viola- tion of the constitution." Violates Constitution An agreement was reached to limit debate on the section to four hours. Speaker Clark opened the discussion. "I believe the press censorship clause in this bill to be a flat violation of the constitution," he said. "The fact that editors slander people, abuse them like pickpockets and lie about them for doing their plain duty-and I have received as much as anybody of this in the last 10 days-won't make me vote for the proposition. The presi- dent, I believe, will stick by his prom- ise not to punish anyone for criticizing the administration, but the president would not have anything to do with the enforcement in this act. That would be left to some subordinate or rather to a multitude of subordinates." Representative Medill McCormick of Chicago, in a statement today an- nounced he would introduce an amend- ment to limit the president's power to suppress news and comment on "enumerated war matters." "The cen- sorship section is of most vital and grave interest to all the people of the United States," McCormick said. "For example, I am told there is consider- able, although not an overwhelming amount of minor infectious diseases among the navy recruits. Attacks Navy Department System "I hear, too, that Mr. Daniels let bids for submarine chasers to brokers, not shipbuilders, and that the brokers have not been able to secure contracts for construction or bond for the per- formance of contracts which they have made with Mr. Daniels. This section, at request of the navy depart- ment, could prohibit discussion of such matters by congress."
