HUDSONThe family, long accepted withoutquestion as one of the most sacredinstitutions of American civilization,has recently become such a contro¬versial subject that any study of so¬ciety, such as “Recent SocialTrends,” must consider it in detail.And so William E. Ogbum, profes-.sor of Sociology at the University,discusses in his chapter on “The Fam¬ily and Its Functions” changes in theeconomic, protective, religious, rec¬reational, and educational duties ofthis institution.From his mass of material.

These men, Robert Bal-sley, Warren Thompson, and EdgarGoldsmith, also gave reports on thework they have done toward com¬pleting the Prom arrangements. Bal-sley is in charge of ticket sales,Thompson in charge of publicity, andGoldsmith will direct the selection ofan orchestra and place for the dance.Present Report*Goldsmith and Robert Sharp, Ameringer Talkson “Intellectual,Worker" TonightOscar Ameringersions: The institutional functions ofthe family such as the production of chairman of the Social committee.necessities, education, and religiousinstruction, are definitely on the de¬cline and they are being taken overby industry and the state.

At present thegreatest effort is devoted toward pre¬venting the breaking-down of the in-.stitution. Divorce, which has beengrowing steadily sinoe 1900, has hada lower rate of increa.se in the lastdecade. 'Thitr may show that in thefuture ultimate stabilization may bereached.-“At any rate," Professor Ogbumstates, “the growth of divorce maybe no more an index of the increaseof marital unhappiness than thegrowth of hospitals is an index of thegrowth of sickness.”The work that has been done in.safeguarding the formation of thefamily is in the direction of the pre¬vention of the marriage of children.The trend has been to raise the min¬imum age, but ten states allow themarriage of girls as young as 12years. Hasty marriages have longbeen recognized as an evil, particu¬larly in the cities where young peo¬ple know little about each other ortheir families. To meet this problemsome states require an advance no¬tice before the issuance of a mar¬riage license while others have resi¬dential qualifications.Prohibition of the marriage of theinsane and the feebleminded is an¬other attempt to safeguard the fam¬ily. As y^t eugenic considerations inregard to mental defect and mentaldisorder have found only limitedlegal expression, but an increase ofknowledi^ in heredity may be ex¬pected to produce results in the fu¬ture.Although Professor Ogburn goesinto much detail concerning the ac¬tual knowledge of the decline of thefamily, perhaps it would be moreprofitable to mention some of themajor problems and indicate the fu¬ture trends. Household activitiescontinue to diminish and there is lit¬tle prospect for an increa.se. Per¬haps electrical inventions may restoresome of the activities of the house¬hold, but the real problem is to de¬cide what society desires. The re¬port states that “The production ofcloth by the factory and the growthof schools for children over sixyears of age are not regretted, butthe inroads of group nurseries andrestaurants into home life may meetwith some objection,” Professor Og¬burn declares.Becau.se households still representa large economic force that involvesgreat expenditures of productive en¬ergy for many millions of the popu¬lation, the problem of efficient homemanagement is an important one.This raises the question of the fu¬ture work of women. Some adjust¬ments might be made, it seems toProfe.ssor Ogburn, through a higherstandard for household work, part orfull-time paid jobs for wives in in¬dustry, and greater participation in(Continued on page 2) Sion. The places visited were theCongre.ss, and Drake hotels, and theI.,ake Shore Athletic club. Final de¬cision on the Prom site will bereached at a meeting of the commit¬tee Tue.sday, and the orchestra forthe affair should be selected beforethe end of next week.Last year’s bids, priced at $5.50,included a chicken supper, but mem¬bers of this year’s committee havenot estimated the cast of tickets forthe current affair.The price of tickets for this year’sWashington Prom will not be an¬nounced until sometime later in thequarter.

This scheme has beenadopted in the expectation of effect¬ing a reduction in the assessment fora class gift. It appears probable thatby using this plan the assessmentwill be reduced to a size appropri¬ate to 1933.The Senior class council meets to¬morrow at 3:30 in Cobb 109 for thepurpose of ratifying the plan and de¬ciding on definite arrangements fOrcarrying it through.According to Zoline, there willprobably be one large orchestra, sup¬ported by whatever vaudeville starsare appearing in Chicago at the timeof the show.The senior council, numberingthirty, meets tomorrow’ to decide thegeneral questions pertaining to theshow. Actual arrangements for theshow will be in the hands of the exec¬utive committee, numbering ten, andunder the direction of Zoline.“Merely making a fairly good liv¬ing is surprisingly easy for the col¬lege graduate under normal condi¬tions. But it is not enough to con¬sider,” said Robert C. Woellner,head of the Board of Vocational(iuidance and Placement, speakingin the second of a series of generalvocational guidance talks at theSchool of Bu.siness yesterday.“Mere financial succes.s as a crit¬erion of happiness is not as import¬ant as considerations of personal sat¬isfaction,” he declared. “The settingup of appropriate standards to eval¬uate alternative careers is a matterof exceptional importance.“Principal fallacy of such a theorylies in the selection of a single stand¬ard of evaluation,” he continued.“Even if one’s chief objective is theachievement of financial success, onemust consider several criteria otherthan income (interest, personal fit¬ness', relative demand for workers,etc.) in making the choice of a voca¬tion.”The meeting w’as attended byabout thirty people.

Profes¬sor Cox regarded price disparities as“the core of the business log-jam.”These disparities must be reduced ifrecovery is to be assured.

Merriam, professor ofpolitical science at the University ofChicago, whose book, “The Govern¬ment of the Metropolitan Region ofChicago,” was published today bythe University of Chicago Press.Profe.ssor Merriam’s book is thelesult of investigation which he andhis assistants in the political .sciencedepartment of the University haveI carried on since 1906. It analyzes' the problems that have arisen in theI metropolitan area of Chicago, a so-! cial and economic unit, but afflictedj with 1642 overlapping governments.The “short term” program liststhe possibilities for consolidationwhich can be realized by statutoryor even simpler action. A “longterm” program, of seven further pos- ^sibilities of consolidation for the en¬tire region, depends on action morediff’icult to achieve, such as constitu-<^ional amendments, or considerable effect in educating public opinion.Consolidation of the school systemwith the city of Chicago, and scrap¬ping of the present Board of Educa¬tion, is one of the methods of reduc¬ing the complexity of the city’s gov¬ernment advanced in the “shortterm” program.“Separation of schools from thelocal government was a passingphase of our development, and theeducational system is now so firmlyestablished that it may well be achieving economy and efficiencywithout involved procedure. Profes¬sor Merriam says. Consolidation ofthe Sanitary District with the city ofChicago through interlocking direc¬torates is also suggested.The fourth item of the “shortterm” program in the establishmentof a Board of 'Budgetary Control,with power to fix maximum budgetsfor Chicago governing bodies, and toexamine and report upon all budgets,bond issues, and legislative propos-brought within the scope of general als for financial relief. Other govern-government,” Profes.sor Merriamsay.s. “Chicago has never had an en¬tirely independent school system inany ca.se, and the present arrange¬ments create confusion.”Combination of the city and boardof education might be achieved inseveral ways, Professor Merriampoints out. If the mayor were givenpower to remove as well as to ap¬point, the Board of Education, the ing bodies of Cook County couldparticipate on an optional basis.Professor Merriam also stresses inhis program the urgency of the needfor home rule to Chicago and othermunicipalities, and the restoration ofconstitutional representation for Chi¬cago and Cook County in the GeneralAssembly.The suggestions for long-term ac¬tion involve much more sweepingresponsibility for school policy j consolidation, ranging even to thewould be placed directly upon him. | creation of the State of Chicago.Another possibility is the creation of , Complete consolidation of the gov-school committee of the City I ernment of Chicago, Cook County,Council. and the Sanitary District, action thatConsolidation of the park boards i would require constitutional amend-within Chicago with the government 1 ment, would mean great savings forof the city is another means of ; the taxpayers, the study shows.APage Two >Or--- 7 - ‘v THE DAILY MAROON.

EINSTEIN REPLIES TO OURFEMININE PATRIOTSWhen a so-called women patriot’s organizationendeavored to bar Professor Albert Einstein’s en¬trance into this country a few weeks ago, we wereinclined to think less of women’s societies andclubs in general than we ever had before. That agroup of women should have objected to this sci¬entist’s visit for the reason that he is a pacifist anda believer of the communistic doctrine seemed tobe as discouraging a commentary upon feminineintelligence as we have heard.It was therefore with a great deal of pleasurethat we recently read Einstein’s answer to his wom¬en hecklers, made when he arrived in Panama afew days ago. The Professor declared:“Are they not right, these vigilant women citi¬zens of the United States?“Why should they allow in their country a manwho devours tough capitalists with the same appe¬tite and pleasure as the monstrous minotaur ofancient Crete gulped down dainty Greek maid¬ens, and who in addition is so mean as to denythe right for every war except the unavoidableconflict with one’s own wife?”We think Herr Einstein was having a bit offun with our ladies. And we are delighted that he—and not they—has had the last word!—W. E. T.The Travelling BazaarBy Jerry JontryEDUCATION FOR BUSINESS' Many years ago a young advertising writer hadthis experience:He was reading, one night, the autobiographyof Herbert Spencer, In one of the earlier chap¬ters he read how Spencer, in his youth, had madean effort to improve certain common mechanicaldevices, but without success.(, In one of these devices the very improvementJ^pencer sought had just been made, and the ad¬vertising writer was engaged in advertising it. Thenand there, under the evening lamp, he wrote oneof the most successful advertisements he ever pro¬duced, captioned “Th'e Man Who SucceededWhere Herbert Spencer Failed.”j. This and many' similar experiences, in which< general knowledge became grist to his businessmiU, convinced him, he says, that education forbusiness may be approached in too narrow a sense.A similar view was expressed by a prominent'Chicago alumnus when he set down, semi-humor-ously, these requisites for his son’s business edu¬cation: “A knowledge of the Bible, a mastery of^'accounting, skill in boxing. ”The point is this: the best education for businessis not to be found in an education for business;but in an education for a life to be spent in busi¬ness. •It is not a matter of subjects, but a matter ofview point.All subjects are part of the one Great Subject—the Art of Living. Accounting is not merely aset of mathematical rules for keeping books. Ac¬counting deals with debits and credits—with whichcertain Angels are also said to deal. It deals withdepreciation, maintenance and reserves, and allthese are principles of living. You meet deprecia¬tion every time you have your shoes half-soled,and maintenance every time you have them shined.Similarly, Business Law is part of man’s techni¬que for handling human relationships; and BusinessHistory part of the drama of mankind’s adven¬ture. Marketing is one of society’s eternal prob¬lems; and Salesmanship is not a black art but atechnique for getting minds to meet. Divinity stu¬dents study it under the name of Homiletics.The student who approaches his preparation fora business career with this understanding will noth’s subject matter neatly docketed in pigeon¬holes.

If the ties that haveheld the family together in the past—economic, educational, religiou.s.etc.—continue to w’eaken, more divorce is to be expected. “Since thi>is so,” Professor Ogbum concludes,“the future stability of the familyseems to depend a great deal on thestrength of the affectional bond.”Editor of The Daily Maroon:Yesterday I had the mi.sfortune tofall- on the ice and skin my knee.Thinking that it would be well tohave the abrasion treated, I went toBillings Hospital but found that sinceI pay 6nly part tuition I had to goto the general .section.

Or why Parisiancoutouriers'are ! debating thfe meritsof the high waistline versus the low?Or why Paris- sets the fashions forthe rest of the ;world?According to Dr. Herbert C. Blum-er, associate professor of Sociology,who recently returned from Paris,“the spirit of the times is responsiblefor fundamental fashions and forchanges in the' njode.” His study ofthe history of French styles between1790 and 1890 was undertaken in anattempt to verify the thesis that fash¬ions symbolize and in a sense ante¬date the ideas, tastes, and inclina¬tions marking the cultural trend ofthe period in which they appear. Hiswork in Paris, especially in the richfashion collection of the division“des Estampes’’ of the National Li¬brary, has proved to him that socialand cultural tendencies have a di¬recting effect on dress, decoration,and design.In explaining American depend¬ence on French style designs, Dr.Blumer says, “Paris is the worldfa.shion center because of its histori¬cal position as the leader of the fash¬ionable world in manners as well asd*ress. There^ has been accumulateda wealth of experience and techniquenot po.ssessed by any other commun- |ity in the world. j, “Paris, also, is a chief focal center iof the divergent movements of mod- !ernism, particularly in the realm ofart. This interesting combination ofhistorical tradition and experienceand vigorous rnddernistic movementsprovides the milieu for the fashiondesigners in Paris and explains whyModerns Need MoreStrenuous ExerciseSays Margaret Burns“Corrective exercises such asyoung people .do ' today result onlyfn a slight quickening of circulation,Und no correction. What the averagecollege I student needs is somethingas vigorous as niountain climbing,”declared Miss Margaret Burns of thedepartment of Physical Culture. “Ex-!ercise is only valuable if taken inlarge doses. Most people are sobored by their daily exercises thatthey hurry through them. For aperson of iny strength daily exer-ci^ would hav^ to be done 80-100time.s for effect,” she believes.“A walk along the Midway is suf¬ficient exercise for an elderly wom¬an but not for the average youngperson. As there are no mountainsin the vicinity, I advise a good stren¬uous hockey or basketball grame. Ten¬nis for the expert would give plentyof exercise but the amateur becomeslistless and does little work. Gamesin the modem young person’s lifehave taken the place of the hardlabor in the fields and at home.“Modem clothes give the effect ofround shoulders and will probably re-.sult in the ‘debutante slouch’ whichwe will have to correct. Good pos¬ture involves a combination of prideand style together with ambition. Apei^on must have ambition to exer¬cise a great deal to have an effect onbad posture. Bad posture may becaused by wrong diet, unused mus¬cles, or a physical defect. All thesemay be corrected by a good physicalexamination.“I hope in the future that therewill be a four day working week anda three day recreational period.Then we can take long hikes, canoetrips etc. and get plenty of hard la¬bor.” Paris is the strategic location for theorigin of new fashions.”Commercial interests are alsoworking to form a fashion-consciousfeminine population. Dr. Blumerpointed out, but even powerful tex¬tile manufacturers are unable tohasten the changes which occur grad¬ually. An example of this is foundin the propaganda spread ten yearsago by textile factories endeavoringto popularize the long skirt. At thattime women were so imbued with thespirit of the times that they insistedon greater freedom in dress in orderto emphasize the idea of their newliberty which followed the world war.Now that manufacturers are ad¬justing their output to the demandsof fashionable women by studyingthe popularity of new designs amongstyle leaders, as at Palm Beach, thenineteenth century response of fash¬ion to the times is being paralleledtoday. So remember, next time youdon your favorite dress and adjustthe wide shoulder cape, or tilt thatnew hat over your right eye, thatthere is a definite reason for the pop¬ularity of the details whichLendearmodern styles to you, and that rea¬son lies in “the spirit of social andcultural trends in 1933.”FEDERATION TO PICKFOUR NEW MEMBERSElection of Sophomore representa¬tives to the Council will be heldwithin the next two weeks, insteadof at the end of the winter quarterwhen they are usually held. Federa¬tion council announced yesterday.Eight Sophomore women will be nom¬inated and four elected at largefrom this number.The purpose of this new systemof elections is to enable the newcouncil members to begin work onplans for Freshman counselling be¬fore the beginning of the springquai-ter.A series of weekly tea.s in IdaNoyes hall will be inaugurated Jan¬uary 22 and will continue everyTuesday thereafter during the quar¬ter.Even Cupid “Just AFriend” These DaysBy SUE RICHARDSONIt's a shame! Hundreds of beau¬tiful women oh campus and hardlya one with prospects of marchingto the altar soon. This’ deplorablesituation came to light yesterdaywhen the Inquiring Reporter becameinquisitive and interviewed severalof the campus women who are re¬ported to be “That Way” about gen¬tlemen. Epithets were hurled in aladylike fashion, and much denyingas to engagements was the order ofthe day.“Why, we’re just friends,” seemedto be the theme song. Take the caseof “Jane Brown” who is supposedto be that way about a certain dash¬ing young athlete in our midst. But,when questioned, M'iss Brown wasamazed as to any serious attentions,“Of course, I have his pin,” she said,“but it doesn’t mean a thing.”This situation certainly isn’t thewomen’s fault, as anyone attendingthe Mirror revue or standing in frontof Cobb will agree., It must be theeffect of the times for the men haveevidently discovered that two cannotlive as cheaply as one.Dan Cupid had better get^ himselfsome sharper arrows if he wants tocapture the hearts of the hai'd boiledhe-men around the University, itseems. SOCIETYbyElizabethMost of us spent last week-end re¬cuperating from the combined ef¬forts of vacation and the first weekof school. 'But, of course, there arealways a few hardy folk who cankeep up the social whirl almo.st in¬definitely.There was a gathering of them atthe Urban Room Friday—Ethel AnnGordon, and Bob Balsley, WallyCrume and Happy Sulcer, MyrialDiehl and Art Mercier, and MaudBour and John Beardsley. Therewere a few familiar faces at theEmerson House Ball held there thatnight—Winnie Wheeler and JackFortune, Elizabeth Bunting andStrother Cary, Julia Kramer andDudley Buck, and Bill Peterson andLuis Alvarez apparently stagging.Dr. and Mrs. Charles W. Gilkeyentertained the Chapel Council andThe Board of Social Service and Re¬ligious Organizations, Sunday eve¬ning. First they went in a group tothe Candle-lighting sei-vice at theUniversity Chapel. On their returnDr. Eastman of the Theoiogical Sem¬inary spoke on the Drama as a ve¬hicle for religion. Then the tradi¬tional Twelfth-Night ceremony wasperformed at which the hollywreaths, branches of the Christmastree, and the Mistletoe are burned inthe fireplace; each person throwingin a wreath or a branch and makinga wish. After this rite, hot punch,cookies, and cake were served.December is becoming rapidly aspopular as June. I believe this latestwedding is the fourth to be report¬ed during the holidays. Mr. and Mrs.Hunnel announced the marriage oftheir daughter, Mary Lou, to JohnCrowell Jr. on December the thirty-first. John was a D. U. of the classof '29 and Mary Lou a Wyrern ofthe class of ’30.WOMAN'S PACE STAFFWoman’s Page—January man¬aging editor—Jane Biesenthal.Sophomore assistants —• FlorenceWishnick, Claire Danziger, Jean¬ette Rifas, Dorothy Loeb, SueRichard.son, Ruth Bell.
