Comment
A Word
To the Wise—And Unwise
As some of the more energetic professors announce the first round of examinations for this week, comes again the fight between two widely honored systems of conducting courses. System A (the least popular among professors because it entails a greater number of papers to be graded) calls for frequent examinations that will keep the professor in touch with his class and the student in touch with his course.
System B calls for a maximum of four examinations a semester and a minimum of two. This system was established on the premise that all students are sincere and that learning, once garnered, can never be lost in the hubub of the semester. (Also to be considered here is the apparent fact that fewer papers have to be pored over and passed on).
Students can be divided into three distinct classifications in reference to their reaction to these two systems: Class A, the dilgent, sincere student (needleess to say, Class A is select) to whom the system really makes no difference for he is always prepared for either a two-week quiz or a semester examination; Class B, the dullard, the insincere student, whose reaction is the same, but is based on the fact that he is never prepared; Class C, the twilight zone student. To the twilight zone student, System A opens broad avenues to B-dom or even A-dom, for the twilight zone student will study if goaded, and will keep up his work under an efficient stimulus.
The best advice for any and all students is to follow the slogan on a bulletin board in Administration building, "It's easier to keep up than catch up."
Every Available Force----
Must Fight
"Damaged Goods," a dramatic presentation of the syphilis menace in the form of a motion picture, represents a new angle of attack in the educational campaign now being carried on against the dread venereal disease.
Educated persons have long had access to articles telling of the ravages of the disease, the course of treatment and the possibility of cure. If education is truly a sign of intelligence, syphilis should be on the run among educated people.
But the great problem now is in reaching that strata of our society that has no access to the more learned journals and no desire for or comprehension of the drier discourses on the subject. One of the answers to this problem is the motion picture. For it combines the powerful truths of the destruction of syllables with stirring action. It mixes human emotion with the information that the disease can be cured. It blends the tragedy of the disease with visible human tragedy. It predicts the ultimate conquest of the disease as it presents the individual conquest.
The best bet, then, would be to arrange for the continued run of this picture and to cooperate in the making of more pictures of the same type with new information and developments presented in each.
National agencies combatting syphilis have so-far passed up a chance to co-operate more fully with the producers of the picture . . . Not that it should be openly endorsed or shown free. For, strangely enough, the very people that will most benefit from the show are represented among that class who will go to any show that promises something lewd and "sensational."
Every available force must be enlisted in the fight on syphilis.
Collective Effort, For Once,a Solution
The President's intention of establishing "a new national foundation for infantile paralysis" which will "lead, direct and unify the fight on every phase of this sickness" may mean the ultimate discovery of its cause and prevention. It may mean that the victims now living by aid of respirators and nasal sprays may someday be saved from this kind of existence.
The plan for combatting this disease which often turns living creatures into twisted and mishapen ogres is one that strikes at the roots of the malady—the cause of infantile paralysis. Government research amply supplied with funds and equipment is the only answer to infantile paralysis's latest widespread challenge. The cost of equipment and time spent in research precludes successfulness for the average physician in private research. As a government project the cost would be inordinate and the results and data gathered of immense usefulness.
True, the now familiar cry of collectivism and socialized medicine will be raised by a few, but their protests pale to insignificance when they are weighed against the appalling human wreckage wrought by infantile paralysis.
Help the Farmer--- Insure the Future
Dr. Glenn Frank recently reminded Chicago that its most dependable underpinning is mid-western agriculture. If the city was to be prosperous, he said, the farmers who lived in the large agricultural areas tributary to it must be prosperous.
Strange, it seems, that he need reiterate this long-accepted fact. Not only does it hold true for a city, but for help the farmers has always uppermost in the minds of politicians with an eye to immediate results at the next elections. Little concerted effort has been expended, until recently, upon the long-time agricultural policy not bent upon immediate results but rather to further the actual good of the land itself. This is the purpose of the government's soil conservation project.
It is true that those farmers who have been following right practices of crop rotation and contour plowing have received little material returns from the government. But already they have seen results in the condition of the soil, and those who have newly come under the program are already noting an improvement in their land.
Price manipulations of crops and regulatory measures advanced to meet immediate conditions are helpful, but the soil conservation program, if it continues to accomplish its purpose, is one of the most fundamental and progressive undertakings of the New Deal.

Am I Thirsty!
Being by birth an Arizona desert rat I thought, could take it but I find it can. Many have been the times during the past five or six years when I had a chance to walk the east hall of the Adm. bldg to love my parched and burning tongue only to find, as usual, a more tolerant environment than the thirsty soul, but what with thanksgiving to a thirsty soul, but what with people impatiently standing around to tame their turn, we had to walk in amongst where previous noses have wallowed in a gnawing-like effort to get the water my timid nature needed, and to be careful not to be held who can really root. And besides, who wants to gurple and suck and shurp in the presence of a host of witnesses, for only thus does one get a bit of water
Yours for a bubbling, spouting, year, roaring water,
with a flickering bludgeon, of blades, after these many years (literally sparing you).

Two Music Critics of the Old School Disclose Qualities of 'Jam'
Editor's note: The following is the opinion of two of the Hill's better known and versed on the trend of modern jam.
By Martin J. Maloney Morris M. Thompson
The Front Line, 4 p.m., Sept. 27 — As we write this article, peeking with two fingers on the keys of an aged typewriter, your correspondents are seated immediately in front of you, down a barrage of jam. Two trumpeters are blasting away at thirty-seconds intervals in our right ear, a clarinetist is sniping just beside our left ear, and an energetic drummer is hitting the floor with fast cross fire, about five hundred thumps to the minute.
Above the thunder of the attack rise the shrill cries of strong men and women, attempting to make themselves heard in spite of the music. A wild glitter hurks in their skin is awry; feet pound the floor.
The question arises in our shell-shocked minds, what is jam? Maybe it arises in yours, too. How should we know? How should we know anything, as a matter of fact? We're lost in rhythm.
They are enjoying themselves. This is the jam session.
What Is Jam?
To get back to the question, jam is music by divine inspiration. You've heard those highbrow compositions by Mozart and Bach and the rest of the boys, called Theme and Variations? Well, that's jam. You take a tune and do tricks with it, sometimes ending up with a different time. You'll notice, in a jam session, that the boy start off fairly normal. Then suddenly a trumpeter, let us say, seized with something that appear to be an epileptic fit. He does trick with his instrument that you, he am the supreme court all know are certainly not on the program. That jam. You go along quietly for a while. When you're playing music, and you start playing music that was never before on land or sea.
Mr. Sigmund Freud would interpret jam music as a complete abandonment of the musical inhibitions. It might even tell it a reversal to the primitive.
A musician not under the spell of the moment would call it--but we can't reproduce that sort of thing here.
Waxing Learned
The music critic is up against a stump. He should be able to find something in his dictionary of critical phrases that jam definitely doesn't have . . . but there the diffender form of music has verve in abundance. The tempo ranges from adagio to agilio within the pushing of a key. Phrasing, we thought, would be entirely impulsive . . . that is, the definition of rhythm structure, at first impression, seems to come from the pre-concentration; but, at rare intervals, this small group of musicians can pour out a chain of melody possessing all the scholarly

Choice of tempi should represent a weakness, and to those who do not make a study of jam, it is truly so; but no aggregation of musicians could so abruptly switch from one tempo to the other in such a way that a beat, without being truly versed in the eccentricities of tempi.

So with the mandates of our training in mind, to wit: "The greatest secret of critical justice is the ability to measure works by the standards that have been developed over the traces of long-faced esthetics for the mantle of the truly liberal, and endorse this art of jam, so pleasing to those who set the standards . . . standards as flexible as the oratory composition of a teacher or the artistry of retinue from no-man's-land in favor of the jaminias . . ."

Early last summer requests for transcripts begin to come in, indicating, according to Mr. Ingham, that they are needed in the impetus to go to college, by reason of their freshman college class work, or were at last finding it possible to finance a college education. Both influences may have accused some,

Fully three-fourths of the high school graduates of university age who were enrolled last year in the university are maintained by the University, are attending college this year, according to H. C. Ingham, director of extension at the University, but many are to Manhattan, or to other schools.
The freshman colleges were first offered two years ago as a means of bringing instruction at the university level to high school graduates who were unable to go away to college. In 2014, they joined the PWA, since the project involved the placing of otherwise unemployed teachers.
