From the constantlygrowing amount of discussion bothat Chicago and at Ann Arbor it is�Iainly evident that faculty and students alike at both places are unanimously in favor of the resumption ofrelations with Michigan.Hiram Cody, Michigan '08, extreasurer of the' Michigan Athleticassociation, yesterday interviewed anumber of Chicago alumni and students and also talked to DirectorStagg on the situation, and has written a letter on. the results of his interviews for the Michigan Daily. Director Stagg in speaking for 1\1 r.Cody stated that the chief obstaclein the way of restoration of peace inthe Conference was the mooted question of the training table. "At Michigan it has always been believed,"said llr. Stagg, "that the facilitiesfor boarding t.,'Je team were so poorthat it was' a serious handicap. inkeeping the football men in condition. But I doubt if cond-itions areany 'worse 'at -Ann .. -Arbor-than theyare at Urbana, Bloomington, Lafayette, Madison or even at Chicago or.Minneapolis. When we, abo1i�hed thetrainjng table I thought that the handicap would be a terrible one, Butthe four years that we have' spentwithout the training table at Chicago have convinced me that it is notat all necessary. In fact the greatdifficulty of collecting board fromthe men and the other difficulties thatarose when the table was maintainedare a source of pleasure by their absence."May Drop Table at Ann Arbor.If the :\[ ichigan people can be convinced of the ease and advantage withwhich the other Conference collegeshave gotten along without the training table there will remain no obstacle to llichigan's reinstatement as afull-fledged member of the reunited"Big :Xine."Director Stagg said yesterday thatChicago would not play �[ichiganunless she did live up to the Conference rules and was reinstated completely. The students and alumni atChicago would prefer by far to seel[ichigan on Chicago's schedule thanany eastern team. As regards theattitude at Ann Arbor, the MichiganDaily makes the following comment:Michigan Wants to Return."If left to the student body thechoice would soon be made. To tellthe truth. the undergraduates havelittle use for any more eastern games.Pennsylvania and Syracuse areenough, and they would not shed anytears if the Quakers were dispensedwith in the future. At :\lichigan andPennsylvania conditions arc vastlydifferent and the Wolverines cannothope to compete on equal terms withthe Quakers. The sympathy of theundergraduates is with the west.Rather than see Dartmouth play hereor have Michigan go east, they wouldlike a game with one of the big Conference colleges."Old clothes, magazines and textbooks are being collected at Harvardthis, week for charity use. Such acoll�C::tion is made twice yearly.

Levi :\Iayerin his address before the MechemLaw club. The noted corporationattorney expressed the convicnonthat radical reforms were necessaryin our judicial system. and laid greatstress on the evils of the jury system in civil cases."Jury trials," said l[r. Mayer,"should be abolished in civil. casesunless both sides demand a jury. Insuch cases a majority vote of thejurors instead of a unanimous voteshould be sufficient for a verdict.Where the jury is not hearing a casea tribunal of three judges should hearand pass upon the evidence. Lawyers in OUT courts are veritable clogsin the machinery of justice as it is atpresent operated. judges should exercise or be given power to materially cut off the tremendously long arguments so common in our trials.There is absolutely no justificationfor arguments 1:a .. ting three days, asis .so often the-case in many- trials."Praises English System..Mr. Mayer praised the system oflegal procedure which has been practiced in England for the past halfcentury and pointed out the superiority of the British syscem over ourown.111 commenting upon the reformsnecessary to remedy the many possibilities for unjust and inequitabledecisions Mr.' Mayer stated that morecould be done by the law professorsand law students than by the practicing attorneys in accomplishing theneeded reforms. The practicing lawyers, said the speaker, are too busyand the lawyer in college is betterfitted to bring about the desiredchanges.ANNOUNCE NAMES OF ALLWHO "CUT" TOO OFTENGymnasium Authorities Give UnwaryStudents Opportunity to MakeUp Defic:iencies.. •• Are you going to get your gymcredit?" with be a much asked question in the Bartlett gymnasium thismorning when the students find authoritative lists posted on the variousbulletin boards of the building of thenames of all students who have exceeded their allowance of three cutsfrom gymnasium classes and who arethereby in danger of losing half orfull credit for their courses.These Iists, which are quite extcnsive, are in accordance with the department" � intention to deal fairlywith the students. as the publicationof the lists will make it possible forthe greater number of those whosenames are posted to attend to theirdeficiency. l[any of the absencesmay be made up by outside work upon arrangement with the instructor.An intercsring fact in connectionwith the publication of the lists isthat it was found easier to publishthe names of the nine men who werewithin the legal limit of absences inthe basketball class than to run thelist of thirty-odd mcn who had toomany cuts.

Tdepboae \V eIIlwortb 7761.Much has been said and done inAmerican educational institutions inregard to bringingProfessor and about the best possiStudent. ble relations betweenthe faculty membersand the students under them. It isthought by many that, in the largeuniversities. there is not enough per.sonal contact between the teacher.and taught outside the class room,.and that the personal relations withthe professors would add much good.to the training and development ofthe student.At Chicago there is altogether reolittle contact beween the faculty andstudents. Most of the teaching forceknow but a v.ery small fraction oftheir students personally, and it iseven said of one member of our faculty that he prefers that his studentsrefrain from speaking to him, as hedoes not wish to be troubled withtrying to remember who !hey all are.Such a tendency surely IS comple�eIy contrary to ideals that shoul� 10-fluence the work of a great University. There is doubtless nothing moreimportant than successful conduct ofclassroom work. But if the men andwomen who are conducting that workare fitted for it they should also bepersons of such a character and temperament that their influence as menwould be a desirable supwement to-the class work. If they are fit. toteach they should be fit to ass?CI�tewith their students. Suc� assoclau�nwould tend to greatly mcrease t eenergy of the students and enhancetheir interest in their work. A closer understanding between the te�cher and his students can har�ly fall tomake for a greater success 10 accomplishing the object of both. The st�dent "'ould be able to understand hISwork better and the professor wouldgain a keener insight into the bestmanner and method of teaching hissubject.DAILY BULLETINFencibles will meet today at 10:30in Cobb hall, room 6:\.Historical Club will meet todayat'S in the lihrar y of Hitchcock hall.Short Story Club will meet todayat 10:30 in Lexington hall. room 15.Le Cercle Francais <;e rettnira auReynolds cluh aujourd'hui a 4 heure ..et demie.Blackfri:i.rs will have an importantmeeting today at 10:30 in Cohhhall. rO:1m lOCoThree-Quarters Club Initiation andBanquet will he held today at �in the Tip-top Inn.

Thisnotice is final,COLLECTION OF "MAROONTALES" OUT THIS WEEKCuppy, '07, Is Author of Stories ofChicago Life--A Well KnownAlumnus.A collection of "Maroon Tales,""stirring incidents of campus lifegraphically told" by an alumnus whoobserved the University life from thei�side for four years and has sincewatched things from near at hand,will appear this week on sale in thecity. The author of the charmingstories is W. J. Cuppy. of the class of1907.These narratives are declared to bereplete with incidents and happenings which faithfully portray thingsas they were and are. "It is withpeculiar fidelity and keen understanding that Mr. Cuppy has succeeded in getting at the essence andthe charm of 'dear old college days'and the never ending joys that arealways associated ·with the life of thecare-free college youth." says the prospectus of the new work. Be thatas it may. it seems evident from theunusual fitness of the author for aliterary production of this type andthe unusual opportunity which hehas had for the past seven years toanalyze and observe the peculiaritiesof the University of Chicago life,that the collection of "Maroon Tales"will be thoroughly interesting andheartily welcomed.First Chicago Collection.The work is the first of its kindthat has been written about Chicago.Yale, Cornell, Harvard and an theolder eastern institutions have longbeen known for their many similarstories, but the energy of Chicagoalumni has until Cuppy's time beendevoted to other directions .. His collection of stories is probably the beginning of the growth of campus tradition perpetuated in written form,and wifl undoubtedly find a large andready sale among alumni and under�rauate:- hoth.

INDIANA PROFESSOR WANTSCOURSES IIORE PRACTICALDr. Howe of BloomiDgtoa llUesPlea for Useful Work in Universit7 C01U'lCL_._.--In a rccert lecture to the studentsof Indiana university ProfessorHowe, head of. the English department at Bloomington. expressed theopinion that the University curriculum did not contain enough coursesthat were of practical utility to thestudents in 'many of the branches.He maintained that in order to gaina general knowledge of many usefuland valuable .subjects the student isobliged to take a long series ofcourses and this made it impossiblefor the average student to gather apractical knowledge of a sufficientlywide number of subjects.The Indiana Student, in commenting on Professor Howe's criticism.advances the following:"There should be more short, practical courses in a university suitablefor students in any line of work. Inthe English department there is atleast one such course. The course in'U se of Words' comes nearest to theideal of any in that department. Because it was found in this course thata series of lectures on Greek andLatin roots, used commonly in English words, was very desirable for thestudents in advanced English, another short practical course was found.The Greek department offers a shortcourse in 'G:-eek Words in English,'assuming no previous knowledge ofGreek.Need General Knowledge."These courses, according to thebelief of Dr. Howe, are such as shouldbe given by every department. Itis his belief that in order for a student specializing in' one subject totake any work in other departmentsit is necessary for him to go into thecourses on the same scale as does themajor in that department. Manypeople. he believes, go out of theuniversity without a general knowledge in physics, botany, zoology, philosophy and other unrequired subjects simply because they are unableto get anything in these departmentswithout taking all or many of thecourses. Dr. Howe's proposed remedy for this state of affairs is a seriesof more or less popular lecture courses such as would give general knowledge. One or two hour lecturecourses on the practical side of physics---.what physics has done for theworld-or on chemistry or- on philosophy wonld enable a student toleave the university with a muchbroader. fund of general knowledge.Such courses would help to interrelate and unify the varied branchesof learning. Dr. Howe is now engaged in aranging two or three special lecture courses of a popular nature. With these lectures he will testthe value of the courses he believesto be necessary in a university."THIRTY-FOUR INITIATEDAT KALAILU BANQUETWomen's Freshman Honorary Society Meets at Home of lIiss Kath-. erine French.Thirty-four pledges of Kalailu, thehonorary society for Freshman women, were initiated last night at thehome of Katherine French.

Chicago WANTS )lORE SOCIAL LIFETilE DAILY MAROO�. THUR,SDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1909.Fraaldin WaJson JoImsoD, PriDcipalof UDiYenity High School, Sa:pAthletics, Soclet7 and Other Activities � Neccuary in High SchooLThat the average high school fails.to provide adequately for the sociallife of its pupils is the view sustainedby Mr. 'Franklin Wilson Johnson,principal of the University Highschool. in an article on "Social Organization" in the December SchoolReview. The writer bases his discussion upon the psychological prin-. ciple that the child is a social being.". and takes the stand 'that social instincts in the adolescent age can best"be provided for and cultivated by thehigh school."The home," says the writer, "isable to provide for social enjoymentsonly in a small degree and in mostcases does not do so at all. Thechurch does something in this direction for those whom it is able toreach. The Young Men's Christianassociation also partly meets theneeds of many. But the street corner. vacant lot, billiard hall, andsometimes less desirable places areoften the only places in which thisnatural" instinct" finds" unrestricted opportunity for development. I t issmall wonder, then, that" the satisfaction of the desire fer social activity on the part of young people oftentakes "forms annoying to the olderand more serious members of thecommunity, if not positively harmfulto the young people themselves. Butwhile the home, the church and simil!r organizations are unable to meetthe social needs of the adolescent boyand girl, the high school is peculiarly adapted to this end. It is thenatural center for the prcmotion ofthe pupil's social life."Outside Activities Necessary.Athletic games, literary, musical"and artistic activities; the writer believes, should be given places ofprominence in every high school.Attention is called to the conditionsthat obtain in the great Englishschools of the type of Rugby."There," the writer says, "the secondary school teacher feels it as much.a part of his work to share in thesports of his boys on the playgroundas to instruct them in the classroom.It is not diffi_cult to trace to its sourcethe real reason why sport is enjoyed by 'English boys for its ownsake and why the low standards ofhonesty and sportsmanship so oftenfound in American schools are notto be found there. I nstead of placing our teachers in responsible chargeof the boys at their games, more often we leave them without supervision or give them into the hands ofprofessional coaches whose personalhabits are frequently questionable,and whose chief desire is that theirteam may win at whatever cost."The University-High school is cited as an example of the type ofschool where sufficient attention isgiven to pupils' social being.· Mention is made of various dubs. athletic teams, student publications andother features of the University Highschool that have proved beneficialfrom a social standpoint. NEWS OF THE COLLEGES .-The Ben Greet players are now appearing at Ithaca, N. Y .• in conjunction with the Russian Symphony orchestra.A fund of $100,000 has been raisedat Haverford college by friends andalumni for the pensioning of old professors.Indiana sophomores held a "gettogether" dance, at which 70 coupleswere present, a'nd which began withgeneral introductions of all present.Nearly one-half of those who tookthe entrance examinations at Yalethis year failed to pass five subjects,and as a consequence its requirements may be considerably modified.A special committee on education,apopinted by the Wisconsin legislature, recently convened at Milwaukee10 discuss the creation of a countyboard of education for each county inthe state.Announcement was recently madeof a proposed University club at .Indiana university to be similar to theReynolds club here. A constitutionhas now been drafted and win bevoted on by students Monday night.The I11inois union, a new studentorganization being formed at Champaign, began an active campaign formembers yesterday. It is expectedthat the total membership will reach2,500. The motto of the new body is"The Union of Hearts, the Union ofHands, the Union of Illinois MenForever." It is to represent the interests of the whole university and tofurther the development of all its activities.How to bring public speaking backinto general favor is a problem justnow confronting all colleges and universities. Indiana university may attempt to do it by the establishmentof a university legislative body, composed of students interested in debating, parliamentary law and legaland legislative procedure. The planhas been proposed by alumni members and several prominent undergraduates, and is being seriously considered by the faculty.NORTHWESTERN NEARLYLOSES GIFT C:t..OCKFOR NON-PAYII.ENTThe modem· clock in the newgymnasium of Northwestern university was in peril for a short time yesterday, and had it not been for theprompt action of Business lfanagerDyche the timepiece might be missIng from the wall today, The clockwas donated to the university by theclass of '09 and was one of the mostmodem, costing $2SO.

PREDICT A STRONGINDOOR TRACK TEAll(Continued from Page 1.)although he would have to be care-ful. he would be able to run. Hisheart has improved more rapidlythan was expected at first and by thefirst meet Dr. Raycroft said that heshould be as fast as last year.Ezpect Schedale This Week.The schedule will be out this weekand it is probable that the first meetwill be with Illinois on February 6.Although there has been no generalcall for men. "Bunny" Rogers, Davenport and Menaul have been intraining for more than a week andare doing limbering-up exercisesdaily. Crawley will not start untilthe first of next quarter, but will bein good shape for indoor track. :\Iostof the other men are keeping in condition and are putting in some timeon the track.In spite of the gloomy outlookearly in the fall, prospects for a winning team are bright. In the dashChicago will have Straube and Earle.both of whom are good. Davenportis one of the fastest men in the country here, but it is likely that he willbe held out for the 440 and relay. Hemay get a chance at the half-mile.but that seems improbable, as thereare Captain Comstock and otherswho can be put in here. The plan isto use Davenport wherever he issure of a first and not to specialize inanyone race.Three Men for Hurdles.llenaul, Pegues and Crawley arethe best men in the hurdles. Of thethree Menaul is fastest OiiJJ it seemssure that he will run here. In thelonger runs Davenport will do the440, with Menaul and possibly Earle.if he can get a little more strength.Timblin has returned and will be eligible next quarter. If he is out he issure of a place in the 440 and relayteam. Baird has plenty of speed andhe may be used the same way. Themile, however. is his race and he willdevelop that first.The 880 will be Chicago's weakestrace. Captain Comstock will enter.hut it is still a question whether hewill be able to hold out. Davenportcould be run, but there is the dangerof spoiling him for the quarter.Probably the most logical man forthe place, next to Captain Comstock.is Baird.Strong in Mile Race.The mile with Stophlet back willbe easily Chicago's race. Baird isfast and in the event of Stophlet'snot returning will run this race andnot go into the shorter runs. Carpenter and Long will be used there aswell. Stophlet will have the twomile as well, and will run with :\IcNeish. Baird and Carpenter mayget in here. It is too early to telljust what all the combinations willbe, particularly with the men whoare good in several events.Chicago will shine in the highjump. :\Ienaul has been practicingall summer and has gotten over thebar "way up where only the stars crossit." Hubble will compete, but graduates at the end of the quarter. "Bun-ny" Rogers and Crawley are alsogood, and will represent the University in the pole vault as well. FrankCollings is also out for the pole vault.He did close to 11 feet in high schooland looks like a possibility. :\Ienaulis the best in the shot-put. but wilt beclosely pressed by Crawley and Kelley. Rademacher and Gerend are outfor this event.Practice During Vacation.Practice will be continued duringthe vacation and all the city men wi1Jbe on the track daily and many of theout-of-town men will stay here to getadvantage of the gymnasium.'" think." said Captain Comstock."that we will have a strong team thisseason. There arc more men outthan there has' heen in previous yearsand I hope that we will not have tomake so many war horses of the goodmen. Bill Crawley and :\Ienaul area team in themselves, and with Dav-enport to do the dashes Chicago willhave a nucleus of strong men tocount on." DRAMATIC CLUB TO TAKE1M NEW IIBIIBERS SATURDAYSet Date for Ammal lnitiation-Cutof Initiates to PresentFarce.The newly elected members of theDramatic club will be formally initiated into the club Saturday evening'at 7:30 o'clock in Lexington ball.The initiates will furnish the amusement of the evening. probably in theform of a skit written and presentedby themselves.

This meeting will be the firstquarterly banquet under the provisions of the new constitution. Raymond D. Penney. president of the organization, is at present seeking someprominent man interested in literarywork to speak before the club on thisoccasion.Before this meeting Harry Hansen.an associate member of the club andone of the members of the constitutional committee, will compile a history of the organization. In his position as secretary of the alumni associ-ation he is better able to put himself in touch with old members of theclub. Most of the charter membershave already been graduated and it isfrom these- that Hansen hopes togain material with which to supplement his own knowledge of the earlyhistory of the club.WANTED-6 ushers at a downtowntheater; salary.
