Atfirst a restriction to one sport was Isuggested, but opinion seemed to beso strong against this plan that itwas changed to two sports. No votewas taken on the matter, but in allprobability the Question will be sub­mitted to the board at their next ses­sion.

The Maroon's east­ern correspondent, in his letter inyesterday's paper, speaks of the prac­tice in debating required of studentsOat Ha�ard in the early days.There has been a tendency in thepast at Chicago for undergraduatesto leave these activities alone, eitherfrom fear of graduate competition orfrom apathy. Graduate competitionshould not particularly he [eared. Thework necessary for a J.::ood brief canbe done as easily hy a conscientioussophomore, junior or senior as by agraduate. There have been under­graduates on Chicago teams, some­times the best men on the teams. Thework required to build up an ade­quate argument will not take over­much time, and will give the studentvaluable training in research work.and useful information in the particu­lar matter under discussion, thetheory of the, �Ionroe Doctrine, a livequestion in American politics today.Aside from the mental training se­cured by competing for a Varsityteam, there arc financial compensa­tions to those successful.

Could not the Undergradu­ate council brine about some system Contributor' to EDellah Jouraal Ad­vocates Adoption of Daily News:­papers by Colleees for TeachincTechnique of WritingThe adoption of newspaper modelsfor use in English courses instead ofselections from classical Iiterature oreven from authors of the first rankis advocated by �I r. George K. Pat­tee of the Pennsylvania State collegein an article on "Some Neglected�Iodels" in the October number ofthe English Journal, issued by theUniversity Press. He states that itis useless to ask a student to patternhis work after some masterpiecewhich he knows that neither he norhis instructor can successfully irni­ta te."What can be more absurd inthe teaching of rhetoric than toask a student who requires in­struction in thinking, who needsdrill in the clear, forceful andalas, grammatical expression of evensimple thoughts, to model a themeafter "The Fall of the House ofUsher," or "The �lan \Vho \Vas"? thearticle states. "With what henefitcan one who has done little investi­gating and is not sufficiently matureto do much real thinking pattern afterthe writings of Darwin or HenryGeorge? Such models have time andagain been found too vague, too ad­vanccd for college men."Affords Concrete Model."Newspaper writing on the otherhand, as exemplified by the best rep­resentatives of the metropolitan press,affords models that are concrete.definite, and not beyorid the powersof ordinary freshmen and sophomoresto imitate with a fair degree of suc­cess. College men are interested innewspaper wrrtmg, Only a few ofthem, perhaps, care to take up jour­nalism as a profession, but every manat some time or other has a longingto see work of his own in print, andhe is eager to learn the art of writ­ing for the papers. The romance ofthe press thus becomes a tangible as­set in the course."The writing of headlines teachesconciseness and emphasis as does noother kind of composition, Mr. Pat­tee asserts. The main idea must benot only expressed emphatically inthe "head," but also so compactlythat it is necessary to count even theletters.The use of the "lead" or the para­graph at the very beginning of thestory which summarizes in brief,pithy form the entire incident to berelated is given as an exceltent meansof teaching what material to use andthe outline form in which it shall bearranged. I t further states that, liasa training in the principles of empha­sis the writing of 'leads' is unsur­passed."Forces Writer to Think.The arrangement of ideas in thestory proper, though not difficult, issuch .\S to cause the writer to .exer­cisc considerable ingenuity. Fromthis fact arises one of the greatestbenefits of the newspaper style as amodel: it forces the writer to think,to weigh the value of his facts, and toestimate their importance to thegreatest number of people.""Doubtless many blue-stockingedcritics will object to the newspapermodel on the ground that it is essen­tially practical, that itt does not re­flect the 'sweetness and light' ofancient classic culture. This objcc­tion ought not to hold. Thousands ofpeople at the present time are earningtheir livelihood lry writing for thepapers. Comparatively speaking, veryrcw writers gain a competence in anyother way. The fact in itself shouldwhereby we would all, Annual Regis­ter and student paper as well, call theentering class either "lower juniors"or "freshmen," and the same with allclasses? Personally, we prefer thetitle "10,\ cr juniors" to "freshmen,"as it indicates better the senior andjunior college system at Chicago, andas it was the name originalty adoptedhy the L'nive rsity. give the newspaper models wideprestige. Although it is not to be ex­� pected that a required, undergraduatecourse in composition will to any ap-.preciable extent fit students for theprofession of writing, yet if in rare in­stances such proves to be the casethe newspaper model should not bescorned on that account. Many col­leges have done far more foolishthings than to attempt the refutationof Horace Greeley's scathing arraign­ment: 'Of all horned cattle, the col­lege man in the newspaper office isthe biggest nuisance.'''Periodicals for Text.I n an article. by Harry R.

Dates for Glee club try­outs will be announced soon.England was fully justified in de.claring war on Germany on theground that the neutrality of Belgiumhad been violated, accordinc to Prof.Benjamin Terry of the History de­partment. �Germany's claim thatFrench troops on the southernboundary of Belgium contemplated"'amarch through Belgium toward Ger­many is, he said, nothing but a blind ..It was made only for the purpose ofcovering up the hostile move of Ger­many, he asserted."History will look upon the viola­tion of the neutrality of Belgium byGermany as the crime of the cen­turies," said Mr. Terry. "England'sdeclaration of war on the ground thatGermany had broken a contract whichthese two countries had entered intotan iii no way be taken as a mere pre­text. She was merely forcing thecountry, which had been a party toa contract with her, to live up to herword.Cites Contract Violation."If you enter into a contract withanother person, you expect him tolive up to the agreement. Anyonewith a sense of honor would do so.But in this case, when the honor ofa nation is at stake, we find one ofthe high contracting parties losing allsense of responsibility."But there is one point where Eng­land is culpable. In 1877 Russia de­feated Turkey at Plevne and exactedfrom her a treaty which provided fortheextension of Russia's territory andinfluence toward the Mediterranean.But England was not satisfied withthis conclusion of the war."The Powers of Europe met in Ber­lin and under the guidance of Eng­land caused the treaty of Berlin tobe drawn up. This took away a greatamount of tht territory that had beengiven to Russia by Turkey. Somewas granted almost complete auto­)lomy. Other sections were placed)Jrider a Turkish protectorate.Balkan War Avoidable.I "If this treaty had not been nego­tiated. the recent Balkan war wouldnot have . occurred. There wouldhave been no cause' for dispute be­tween the Balkan nations and Turkey,because under the first treaty madebetween Russia and Turkey the latterwould not have controlled any terri­tory in the Balkans. And, as a re­sult, the war among the Balkans na­tions. which was even more terriblethan the one which preceded it, wouldnot have resulted."But the fact that the cause for thepresent war would have been remov­ed is of even greater importance.

"Germany had built upher great navy and a wonderful armywith only one purpose in view, thefinal subjugation of England., Theyfirmly believed that at some futuretime Germany must clash with Eng­laad."If a family of men are brought upto be prize fighters they will seize thefirst chance they get to fight. This isexactly the course with Germany. For.Iorty years all that she has been con-cerned with is the development of hermighty military machine. And, at thefirst chance, she took advantage of it."But if militarism is ended withthis war all the suffering and losses. that have resulted will not have beenin vain. However, if the nations arenot able to come to a lasting agree­ment there is no doubt but what an­other war will follow."England Involved Japan.England was the controlling factorin the negotiations that caused Japanto enter the war, according to Mr.Terry. She probably asked her allyin the Orient to come io her help, hesaid."The treaty between England andJapan provided that each countrywould be the protector of the inter­ests of her ally in the field in whichshe was best able to give aid. Eng­land was therefore the protector of.the interests of Japan in Europe andJapan likewise 'was to support Eng­land in the Orient. England un­doubtedly called upon Japan underthe terms of that agreement to pro­tect her interests."The destruction of Louvain by theGermans because a few irresponsibleshad fired upon the troops of theKaiser is not justified, according toMr. Terry. The innocent people ofthat city should not have been forcedto suffer on account of the action ofa few hoodlums, he asserted.Discussed Cruelty Charges.In regard to the charges of crueltiesagainst the Germans, Mr. Terry stat­ed that he had received informationfrom a responsible source that Etig-'Iish soldiers had been taken into hos­pitals with their hands cut off.
