Gwinn Henry, Tiger football mentor, learned his new trick play in Columbia last Monday. THE WALTER HINES PAGE SCHOOL Formal instruction, it is announced, will not be emphasized in the new Walter Hines Page School of International Relations to be established at Johns Hopkins University. Rather, it is planned to assemble information already existing in regard to world affairs and, in addition, to add to the total of existing knowledge. This procedure is regarded as essential to carry out the objects of the school, which briefly, are: To furnish means for research on the underlying facts and forces of international relations and to provide for more systematic study along such lines with an aim to correlate the results. Thus, the school will beside training experts in the field of international relations, supply a great mass of information which will be readily available for future use. It is significant that, for this purpose, the prevailing methods of instruction have been abandoned. Progress of the school will bear close watching for the possible effect, on the present-day educational methods that this less formal type of instruction may have. The more familiar methods of formal instruction, such as the lecture plan, are to be discerned in favor of extensive research work. Lectures are to be cut to a minimum, being given only when something new is to be presented. Personal initiation will have free rein. Analysis and discussion of the findings will supplant the customary classroom work. Anxious parents can no longer rail because the moving pictures do not depict life as it really is. Producers announce that the life of George Washington, cherry tree, hatchet, and all, is to be filmed. "FLL MEET YOU AT "I'll meet you in front of Snow at 3:30" may mean almost anything Perhaps you'll meet, but seven to five the meeting will fail in some particular. If you don't forget the meeting yourself the chances are that the other party will, or will be anywhere from two to forty minutes late. For both parties to appear on time is almost unheard of. It simply isn't done, even by the most regular students. There may be a legitimate excuse. Perhaps there is a good show you must see. Maybe you can't get away from that date. Occasionally an unforeseen circumstance delays you. You may even stay away purposely. But usually plain old irresponsibility is the cause. Maybe students did keep their appointments once. Perhaps a time will come when half of them will keep half of their appointments. But right now "heav" explains the situation—one half of one per cent get to their meetings on time. An Ohio graduate bacteriologist announces that he has discovered an artificial means of creating plant and animal life. All right, let's see one of these dinosaurs. THE UNITED STATES DAILY The latest journalistic venture in this country is the publication of the United States Daily, a newspaper published in Washington and designed to furnish readers with an unbiased record of national news and events. The new paper expects to accomplish this, by carrying neither telegraph news nor editorial comment. It hopes to present national news without the kiss which is alleged by so many to enter into the presentation of news by most American newspapers. It claims to present "the only daily record of the official acts of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the government of 'he United States of America.'" England already has such a journal as this. It presents the news, and then assures those who wish to get an unregulated account of what is going on of reading reliable news. It is a recognized fact that many of the leading newspapers color their news to conform with their policies, or print what conforms to their beliefs. Those interested in national news of today should welcome the coming of the new United States Daily if it succeeds in living up to the standards it has set for itself. It should provide at least one channel through which those not otherwise in close touch with events at Washington, may get the "inside dome" on what is happening, and yet is not officially under government control. Here's hoping it lives up to the standards set by its editors. "Wales True to Tradition," says a headline in the Kansas City St. We always wondered why the prince took such frequent tumbles and now the secret is out. AND THE CANOE STILL LIVES The sun had gone down after a day of warming up the wintery world; the moon had peeked his round face over the eastern skyline. He was looking down upon a glassy path of water which reflected the yellowish light right back into his face. A dark form glided easily, quietly out of the sinister shadows along the edge of the river into the half-light. The dark form became distinguishable as a canoe. In the center sat a maiden, and in the rear end sat a youth puddling slowly. A stroke, two strokes, and the canoe pointed downstream in mid-current. The youth lifted the paddle from the water and had it lightly across the canoe. The leisurely moving current carried the little craft slowly downstream. The time was not 1926, as one might think, but a century earlier; the youths were not modern collegians, but Indians of yesteryear. Since then the wild life on the Kansas plains around the Kaw ins gone, as has the Indian; railroads carry huge trains to interrupt the still night with shrill whistles and loud puffs; one race has vanished for another; the wild has been destroyed by civilization, but the charm of riding on Hiwatha's fair waters still lives. From race to race, from generation to generation, youth has touched the Kaw with canoe canoe, first wk-wardly, then perhaps more skillfully; youth has learned how far to paddle that the evening may be spent drifting back; and spring is still ushered by the canoe—and the moon. THE COLLEGE GRADUATE'S EARNING POWER So far, March weather has been as changecable as the French cabinet. The life-time earnings of the average college graduate are $150,000; the high school graduate earns $78,000; and the average unskilled laborer $33,000. This is the estimate of Dean Lord of the Business School of Boston University. Dean Lord is a recognized authority on Child and Labor welfare. He gathered his data from the official records of the Department of Labor, of Massachusetts, and he believes his estimates apply approximately to every man in the United States because Massachusetts has many industries. The unkilled laborer reaches bih maximum earning power at 30 years The regular payroll will be open for signature until Thursday evening. Any name which has not been signed by the proprietor will be denied access.

LINDLEY. CONVOCATION: of age. The high school graduate earns his greatest wage at 40 and the college graduate receives his maximum wage at 50 or 60. Dean Lord considered all those who had not attended college—high school graduates, or unskilled workmen. This group includes Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. The life-wage of the college graduate, in spite of this, as twice that of the high school graduate and three and one-third times that of the unskilled laborer. The unskilled workman soon reaches his greatest efficiency, but the college graduate increases in efficiency until his death. The college graduate earns more because he has perspective. He sees and can evaluate what is necessary in industry. In mentioning Pi Sigma Alpha, political science fraternity at the University, the Alton (Kannan) Empire says: "To become a member of this fraternity one must make A and B grades in all subjects." The editor hastens to add: "There are only 25 members in the entire university." SPRINGTIME Springtime is almost here. Harsh winds are being tempered into gentle breezes these sunny days. The sap is rising in the trees and soon buds will begin to burst. Lawns are waiting for their green dress, and porch boxes, for their load of blossoms. The good natured sun peeps through the window to wake you a little earlier each morning, and the birds in the trees chirp more cheerfully in the sunshine. It's spring cleaning time for the housewife, digging time for the backyard gardener, and sand pile time for the little tikes. It's the time when men take a new hold on life—the best ime of the year. At the Concert Lala Mitz-Gonner made her American debut last Tuesday afternoon in Aeolian Hall in New York. Her audience, as was to be expected, was largely made up of people of German descent. It was only natural, therefore, that the listeners preceeded every appearance of the singer with his capevelled her respectfully at the end of the program set extra numbers. Madame Mitz-Günner dependent upon the musical curiosity of her interpretations, and not upon the racial or language appeal of her numbers, despite the opportunity she had of capitalizing her German program. Her singing voice is adequate, although her vocal power. The artist uses her vocal resources wisely, if somewhat sparingly; in spots. More than micro vocal power, was the ability of Mitz-Greizau to dramatize her song. In fact the artist is first a dramatic and then a singer. She sang the German *leder as* no other could have sung them with force, vitality or emotion, singing among those few *lederwolls* who hear the Lil. Some of her listeners accused Mitz-Ginemer of over dramatizing Schubert's Erklärung, but as dramatisc is the artist's main stock in trade, the criticism seemed far fetched to this audacity. She made available to American audiences, by the exceeds even the dramatic Gerhardt in "dramatic singing." The new artists has not the vocal power she had, let alone satirically the most exciting critic of mere vocalization. The numbers on the program were chosen with a fine discrimination for the abilities and limitations of the singer, and the accompaniments were carefully selected. And were the work of Walter Goodle well known writer of German songs.
