Thirdplace and a scholarship for onequarter was given to Miss MargaretDavidson. Robert Butler, of theSenior College council, presided.Messrs.

Fischel.Ralph, Merriam, with "The RaceProblem" as his topic, told howgrave a situation faced the whitemen of the South. Worse than thelax home ties and the idleness andshiftlessness of the negro, he said,are his animalism and lust.

Fischel spoke in defenseof that much-maligned hero of thedrama, "Shylock." His portrayal ofthe broken old man as "robbed,cheated, crushed, alone, he goesforth to begin anew," was one of thestrongest productions of the evening.Fischel said in part:Truth-telling historians are gradually over­coming deep-rooted national prejudices. �beMansfields and the Irvings of today are doingmuch the same for literature and the drama.Thus Shylock is now taking his place amongthe heroes of the drama. We cannot applyto Shylock the test of our. mod�m m�:-ality.When we consider the times ID which helived. Shylock is intensely human.. . Thespirit which actuated him was th� �pmt ?frevenge.

The truth concerning this "Mer­chant of Venice" will aid mightily in over­coming the anti-Semitism of today.Miss Margaret Davidson attacked,with much vigor, the system of"Child Labor." She decried theindifference of the public to suchmatters, and pictured the evil con­ditions attendant upon the employ­ment of immature children. Shesaid in brief:Although an embryo genius might work ina factory all day and still educ�te hlmsel� bynight study, yet the average chlld-the,m�e­ty-nine out of every hundreli-:-can not: 1 h.edulness of the child's occupation deprives Itof the visionary hack ground so necessary. toideal labor. Unfortunatelv, the contentionof the economic necessity of child labor isoften onlv too true. Yet how does this speakfor our s�cial system? We must amend ourlegislation in such a manner as to make theviolation of the laws governing child laborimpossible.At attempt is being made at theUniversity of Michigan to introducethe honor system in conducting ex­aminations in both the medical andacademic departments.

Ten of the fra­ternities responded, and they were allfavorable to the abolition of the rule.Dean Castle has selected the mostprominent arguments advanced bythe fraternities.Tomorrow the arguments will bepresented to the board of student or­ganizations for their concurrence.The arguments follow:I. The pledged men should be admittedas soon as possible to the benefits of frater­nity life.2. "A Freshman will do better work if heis made to feel the responsibility of a frater­nity man rather than of a pledge."3. The rushing season will be shortened,whereas under the present rule it must becontinued partially into the second quarterof the pledged man's residence. The repealof the rule would leave all free to settledown to work as soon as pledging and ini­tiation are consummated.4. The fraternities know the Freshmenbefore they enter the University-word comesfrom the schools and academies. Hencethere is no need of deferring initiation tomake acqaintance.5. The fraternity has a better hold on t.heman after initiation and can do more Withhim and for him. "We have in our chapteran Honors' cc mmittee whose business it is tolook after the scholarship of all underclass­men, and we feel that the work of, thi� com­mittee will be much more effective If theFreshmen are under immediate control."6. .. No justice in legislation which per­naits public appearance provided that two ma­jors of work are carried successfully, but de­mands three .majors of completed work formembership in a fraternity."7. ..

The paper shows thegreat inadequacy of the county institutionsand various other private hospitals in Chi­cago for the care of these cases. The paperstates that constitutionally the city cannotappropriate any moneys for the erection ofsuch institutions, as any such expenditurewould technically be disbursed for the careof disease and not for its prevention. Aftercommending the efficiency of the corps ofChicago city physicians, and the excellentwork done by the Sisters in the IsolationHospital, the author mak�s a strong appealto liberal and generous-minded people to en­dow some hospital for the especial care ofthese conditions.GillespieNEW COUNTING SYSTEM INTRODUCEDHugo S.

Thetwo last cars were derailed, and thethird car, in which the Universitymen rode, was half off. A delay oftwo hours was required to get thethird car on again, but it was foundimpossible to restore the other twoto the rails, so they had to be aban­doned. The First Regiment and theHyde Park men were in one of thesecars, and were compelled to get upand dress to continue their journeyin a day-coach.The train then proceeded to Frank­fort, Ind., where there occurred an­other delay of two hours, caused bythe fact that the newspaper mailtrain from Chicago was late. Aftersome ham sandwiches had been se­cured for breakfast, a new start wasmade, and the party arrived in Cin­cinnati about five and a half hourslate.The men all consider themselvesextremely lucky in escaping a dan­gerous accident, as there was a ten­foot ditch only a rod from the placewhere the derailing took place.. The First Regiment Athletic As­sociation of Chicago was representedby a full team and easily carriedaway first honors in the meet, scor­ing 44 points in all. The Universityof Indiana was third with 12 points,and the Chicago Y. M. C. A. wasfourth wi th 7.The First Regiment took everyfirst but one, which was won by Cap­tain Magee. Chicago city athletesnot only took every first but all butJ 3 points of the meet.
