NOVEL COURSE TO BE STARTED AT ANTIOCH
Ohio Institution Will Install "Self Directing State of Mind" Courses
An interesting experiment in college training is to begin at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, this summer. Employers undertaking the provision of training that will develop a "self-directing state of mind" in the student. Training that produces employers rather than employees, leader rather than worker.
This ambitious scheme, which I attracting wide attention, is the idea of Arthur E. Morgan, an engineer, in charge of the 35-million-dollar works that are to control the flood waters of the Miami River in Southern Ohio. A few months ago he was made trustee of Antioch College, a small institution almost lost in competition with bigger colleges. Mr. Morgan became in college training and obtained the co-operation of some of the biggest men of the country in putting theirs into effect in Antioch.
In an effort to "connect learning by doing with learning with study," a number of manufacturing plants, shops and business establishments participate in making a part of its equipment. These plants will be run entirely by students working in shifts, and giving as much work as to study and classroom activities. There is also opportunity to all students to make their way through school.
Students of this institution will be limited to 500 at first, and a most careful selection will be made of students who have years to complete the course but this will be actual economy as the nature of the training is expected to make unnecessary years of experience and to prepare students of ordinary graduates leaving college.
There is wide feeling that the regular college course is too detached from the real business of living. It the hope of Mr. Morgan to bridge the gap by giving men and women actual experience while in college.

Four aspire to the executive office—the present mayor, Charles A. Townsend; Colonel Charles Greene, commanding officer of the 129 Infantry, Thirty-third division; Fred B. Streeter and Groushans.
Groshans hesitated to add politics to his long list of accomplishments, but upon the insistence of his friends he announced his candidacy and in a statement entitled "Who is this man Groshans and what has he ever done?" he tells why Aurora should name him mayor.

MATTER, NOT MANNER
MacGregor Jenkins, editor and publisher of the Atlantic Monthly, said in an interview preceding his lecture Wednesday evening that the modern magazine he wrote was a contributor, not who are masters of literary style and exactness, but who have something to say. His point is that the writer who has a thorough knowledge of the subject about which he writes or ordinarily gained the proper use of English as an incidental reason rather than the manner is to be emphasized. Good literary style is no longer essentially a goal; it is a means.
Mr. Jenkins stressed the idea that the beginning writer should not be discouraged by the rejection slip, because the Atlantic Monthly must select yearly from 35,000 only 250 manuscripts for its publication. He added, "I feel that I can safely say that the Atlantic Monthly is a special publication that it sincerely desire to print than those that it is clad to see out of the office."
"That the editor must recognize new writers is a matter of self-preservation," he explained, "because they are the ones upon which he must later depend for material." He said that the Atlantic Monthly prizes highly its readers among students of colleges and universities, especially from college to college, that a great number of its contributors are recruited. Articles are also occasionally accepted from undergraduate, but it is only rarely that they have anything of special value to offer until they are older.—Daily Iowan
The University of Michigan is not in favor of petty regulation of student activities. The Michigan Daily recently quoted President Burton as saying that "there will be no curfew to send students home every night or any other rasic measures." But he goes on to say that "there must be maintained a normal, sane standard of conduct."
Students at Pennsylvania State College have organized a volunteer fire department, with a chief and four captains as officers.
