According to Miss Halliday, this action was taken in order to change the students’ irresponsible attitude toward student gov- ernment.

The sélection of the new students for the School at the meeting of the Admis- sions Committee last week, makes the sum- ‘mer. term. seem very near. Although 120 students were. chosen, it is the expectation of the Committee that as in previous years, at least fifteen of the candidates will have 2. to“ withdraw before the School actually opens. The fact that each local committee this year has emphasized the question of preparatory classes for each applicant should mean that the group of students this summer will be able to make the change from factory work te school classes more promptly and without: the severe strain of adjustment which has meant in the past a delay in work and much nervous anxiety. In order to, hasten this adjustment and simplify if possible the very difficult prob- lem of grouping the students for class work and tutoring sections, the first week of the school term this year pill be re- garded as a registration period. Although class work will begin promptly as usual, the various sections in each department will discuss the same material during the first week, so that at the end of this time a final groping of the students may be made, on the basis of psychological tests, silent reading tests, and personal interviews. The curriculum this summer will’ include as before, required courses in Economics, and English Composition, with electives in History, Lijerature, Science and Music, For second fear students, a course in Psy- chology andf work in more advanced eco- i iWbe offered.

Heep track Form intelligent and personal opinions There is probably not one member of this college who, admitting the necessity. for such urging; does not heartily approve it, One would expect the feeling of a representative institution to “be prevalent beyond its limits and, dealing with proportionately greater outside in- terests, to include the whole country. But, prompted by political. expediency, many ‘urge national isolation. Others maintain that co-operation with foreign: countries in the solution of world problems is a duty that will lead to greater national welfare because it will be founded on more general, comprehensive, therefore , stronger principles. The matter touches us as a college very and nearly when we are faced by an oppor- tunity Much as that offered by the Con- fédération Internationale des Etudiants. Should we join this league whose motive is international understanding through stu- dent intercourse, we «would become a link in the chain that leads from united insti- tutions to the country itself, thence through a connection with similar foreign institu- tions, to an intertiational league of greater significance. The advocates of such an international league would approve this link as an un- questionable step toward a greater end; ‘while its opponents could not quarrel with an association that defines itself as based on personal intercourse and as strictly inde- pendent of political concerns. PROGRESS? Before the last war we, prided ourselves on our civilization; we beamed compla- cently at our advancement and progress over our barbarous ancestors who indulged “in fighting. On our entrance into the Great War our ideas were temporarily up- had previously professed. We comforted ourselves by propping up our shaking illu- sions with the earnest assurance that “this ‘is a war to end war.” Yet those who now _ publicly announce themselves against fight- ing. earn little but. criticism. The eighty- eight students: from the Northwestern Uni- _yersity and’ the Garrett Biblical Institute affiliated with it, who have declared their : ness to participate in another war, ‘have brought a storm of abuse upon their the proposed domination: for defense, reads like a fairy tale. set, We. were bewildered. just how_to}. reconcile our stand with the principles we the Peoples of 1 the world toward independ- students, inflamed with patriotic rage, caused a riot at a meeting of those against war, addressed by Mr. John Fletcher, of the English Society of Friends.

Lord Byron is, in point of fact, less memorable to us fof his poetfy than for the manner of his passing. He gave his own blood to cement the structure4 of sympathy with the Greek struggle which he had long striven to rear. With a ges- ture, the greatest and most gallant it is granted a man to make, he aroused the conscience of Europe from a slumber al- ready uneasy and won for his chosen coun- try the intervention which gave her free- dom when hope had nearly failed her. ; That his sacrifice was not in vain, that the cause of human liberty which he cham- pioned lives after him, has been proven and proven again by the steady march of | _ SE ie Sacha (Edors do not hold. themselves respon- sible for opinions expressed in this column.) To the Editor of Tue Coutece News: This year, under the auspices of the Christian Association, we have had a chance to estimate the value of discugsion groups as a means “for developing gur initiative in thinking fo® ourselves.. We have talked at length with Dr.. Fitch, Mr. Fearne, Mr. Simpson and various Sunday evening speakers, and haye often been so confused with the successive interpreta- tions of different points of view, that the discussion groups, as. a whole, - have ~not been quite as satisfactory as’we had hoped. Many have found that they are too apt to be swayed-by the last speaker, because of their, inability to assemble the ideas which they have thought out in connection with previous speakers. ; As a partial solutior to this problem whieh the discussion groups have created, the ‘Christian Association Board suggests the following plan, and hopes that members of the Association will express their opin- ions regarding it, to next year’s Board: That the week-end conference be led by two or three persons representing very different points’ of view on whatever sub- ject be chosen for thé conference. Each leader should have a chance to present his Lopinions, and then there should be general debate in which both students and leaders should take part. (We do not believe this would turn into an argument between the leaders alone.) In this way we should be arguments, and to form ideas, and per- haps reach conclusions, in the presence of many more facts than formerly. As an example: there seem tobe, at present, two types of people who are think- ing and working for. the betterment gf all social conditions ; those who work through groups and institutions, -and who believe | that by changing conditions, people will improve; and those who believe that the individual should first be made stronger, and“ that conditions, customs and _ institu- tions will, of necessity, follow suit. The first. type of person is sometimes repre- sented by the “intellectuals,” those inter- ested in economics, workers education, and the Labor Movement; the second type, by ministers and people who are engaged in religious work. + ' With leaders representing some such types of. thought as these, the members of the Christian Association might discover that they have common ‘grounds for dis- cussion in spite of the difference in point of view.

The Bureau will probably cofifine its efforts to the field of economic and soci- ologic topics for the first year of its exis- tence. Prominent speakerse and leadérs representing all parties and all schools of thought will be available through the Bu- reau. ‘These men will be furnished at un-— usually low figures, transportation being the only charge in many cases, as the Bu- reau will be conducted on a co-dperative basis. : t—Fhe Bureau will be definitely formed at a conference of delegates from colleges in- terested in the project, which will be held at the Student Forum Headquarters, 2929 Broadway, New York City, on Saturday, April 26.

BATES HOUSE TO OPEN DAY AFTER COMMENCEMENT _ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 running expenses for the two months. — It now remains to get a sufficient number of volunteer workers” and all should ~~ run smoothly, This summer Bates is to open on Friday, June 6, the day after commencement exer- cises. The first week is to be clean-up week. In this time the house will be cleaned and swept, curtains put up and the rooms: made ready for the first group of children who come on June 16. These are the Kindergarten children ranging from six to eight years of age. The children come in groups of forty, each group stay- ing for two weeks. The next group will be half nursery, aged three to five, and half six to eight year children. The last. group coming from July 16 to August 31, will be nine to twelve year old children, but this year no boys over ten and no girls over twelve are coming, which considerably simplifies the problem of disciplining the older children. Everyone who is able to go to Bates House this summer is urged to sign up. For the more workers there the less work for each individual worker. A few peo- ple have misunderstood about volunteer work at Bates House and thought that some kindergarten or .child training was necessary. But this is not so. Anyone who wants: to go to Bates House is priv- ‘ileged to sign up. Workers are urged to go for two weeks if possible, as this en- --ables them-to-get to-know-the-children,-and- gives the children time to know: theri Those who only stay a week or less scarcely get acquainted with the individual children and the daily routine before they leave, and so miss half the pleasure whi Bates House can afford. a r .A slip is pogted in Taylor Hall on the Christian Association Bulletin Board. Vol- unteers are asked to sign as soon as pos- sible.

The question had previously been con- sidered by each class separately. E. Requa, '24, President of the Undergraduate Asso- ciation, reported that the Graduates had said that they did not care whether they had a Maypole or not, that the Juniors did not wish to have one; that the Sophomores voted to keep theirs, while the the Fresh- men had voted to do as the Senior class wanted. -< The motion that the three lower classes should keep their May-poles was voted upon by the classes in question and_carried. NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES Lehigh The old claim that “this hurts me as much as it does you” has been applied to education-by Lehigh University professors who have inaugurated methods inténded to eliminate the necessity of giving “zeros” for recitations. An investigation into the causes of poor préparation for recitations by apparently conscientious students ~ has convinced the faculty that in many cases, “students are conscious that the methods they employ in studying and their habits of work and attention are not satisfactory to themselves and*do not secure the results which they desire.’ In an announcement posted recently the Lehigh faculty “ap- proves the action of the Department of Psychology and Education in setting apart hours when students may consult with members of that department in regard to methods of study and habits of -work.” Dartmouth _ The Dartmouth Educational Committee is. very obviously not an honorary body created to let students think they are hav- ing a hand in their education. The men on it are taking the thing quite seriously and-have commenced.their work. “Eleven _’ members of the undergraduate committee for the discussion of educational problems left Hanover to visit various eastern col- leges” reports The Dartmouth. “Groups have been sent to Yale, Princeton, Swarth- more, Cornell, Columbia, C. C. N. Y., and Barnard, and a group will visit Harvard at the end of their vacation. The purpose of |: these trips is to discuss and exchange ideas with the officers of the institutions visited, and more especially with undergraduates who are interested in these problems. j University of Michigan The University of Michigan is probably the first college to adopt the unique plan of distributing no grades. This system arises from a desire that students pay less atten- tion to subjects treated in the course. It was passed at a meeting of the faculty of the School of Law, and. will take effect immediately in that school: By ‘the new plan, unless a failure is recorded, studen® ceived in any particular course. They will will not knoW what: grades they have re- be.informed only of the number of hours of each grade which they received during the semester. University of Chicago ' The faculty of the University of Chicago took alarm recently by,, discovery that a corporation had sent circulars to thousands of students offering to do their thinking. All students must write term papers in their courses and theses in the studies in which they specialize before receiving de-J grees. The term papers and theses are, of course, the big things in the work of under- graduates-and~aré~supposed to be resiilts of individual research, “Give us your subject and $10—we'll do the rest,” says the corporation. “We relieve you of all annoying detail.
