Price Five Cents.Coach Meanwell Has formidableSquad, Although Not Equalto Former Teams.Southern schools are, in many re­spects, further advanced and moreprogressive than northern schools,according to John Franklin Bobbitt,assistant professor of School Admin­istration and assistant dean of theUniversity college. Mr. Bobbitt hasjust made a month's survey of theSan Antonio school system at the re­quest of the educational board of thatcity."In spite of the statement which' ITecently heard," said Mr. Bobbitt,"that 'it is a pity that Southernschools are so backward in educa­tion,' I found the Southern schoolsto be highly developed. Indeed, inmany respects, they are more ad­vanced than the average Northernschools. In the matter of taking. care of industrial and vocational edu­cation, San Antonio is far ahead oft.'er cousin citie� of the North. Indirect opposition to the prevalentsupposition that the salaries of ele­mentary teachers in the South arebut small, I found San Antonio pay­�ng'.as. pigh.a .wage to her elementaryteachers as Northern cities." ,Compares Indiana and Texas Schools..Mr. Bobbitt made a survey lastsummer of the schools in SouthBend, Ind. In comparing San An­tonio and South Bend, he averredthat in the matters of industrial andvocational education, and the recom­pense of elementary teachers, SanAntonio surpassed South Bend byfar, despite the fact that South Bendis sixty PeT cent wealthier per capita.To illustrate San Antonio's progres­sive spirit, Mr. Bobbitt stated: "Thecity has a $500,000 expenditure fornew buildings. In order that the ex­penditures may be properly made,they are placed under the expert di­rection and supervision of the pro­fessor of education and administra­tion at the University of Texas. Inthis manner, the best thoughts as tobuildings art brought to the fore andthe city is provided with buildings ofthe most modern type."1 n order to keep pupils from fall­ing behind in grades, a system hasbeen placed in vogue by which ad­vancement teachers are provided forall buildings. The sole duty of theadvancement teacher is to assist thebackward pupil over the rough placesand, as a result, fewer pupils are com­pelled to repeat grade work and arepermitted to be graduated at anearlier age."Cites Help of Parents.Mr. Bobbitt affirmed that the par­ents' clubs and associations are ac­tive and co-operate in many ways'with the schools, "In the case of al­most every school," declared Assist­ant Proi. Bobbitt, "the associationshave supplied one or more pianos,supplementary reading and librarymaterial, pictures, and apparatus forthe equipment of the rather generousplaygrounds. The clubs are also in­strurnental, at the present moment, inenlarging provrsions for mat.aaltrammg and domestic occupations, aswell as other subjects new to thoseschools, such as music, drawing, folk­dancing, plays, and games."Mr. Bobbitt is enthusiastic over(Continued on page 3)SENIORS GIVEN PARTYBY FRANCIS HARRIS;150 OF CLASS ATTEND WILD DUCK CHASES WILLFEATURE MEET TONIGHTCHESS 'PLAYERS TO MEETUNITED STATES CHMIPION SAYS SCHOOLS INSOUTH ARE AHEADOF THOSE IN NORTHGordon, Paine and Rosenberg WillContest In Game With FrankMarshall-Progress SloW' In BothCorrespondence Matches.

President Gordon is not veryenthusiastic over the local club'schances with the Western Electricteam."We defeated the Bell Telephonegroup," he said yesterday, "but theWestern Electrics are of a differentcalibre. They have overcome some. of the best· teams' in Chicago andtheir reputation has even spread out­side of the city. However, our menare in good shape and ought to playsome fine games."Have Set Trap.When asked about the correspon­dence matches with Washington uni­versity of St. Louis Gordon grinnedplacidly and said: "Both games arestill even and no side has an advan­tage. But we have something up oursleeves which ought to develop soon.Our scheme depends entirely uponthe next move of our opponents.

Sleight-of-Hand Tricks Amuse theCrowd-Quartet Organized forthe Occasion. Contribute Playgrounds, Libraries,and Other Means of Recreation­Teachers' Training Perfected"Last night was the 'biggest night'in the history of the class of 1915."So said the officers of the class at thetermination of the Senior party givenat the home of Frances Harris lastnight. Such evidence was given bythe attendance-ISO students, the larg­est turn-out the class has ever made.The party began with a dinner inthe cafe of the commons, where twolong tables were filled. There wasno formality, the only speech being ashort talk on the United Charities byCowan Stephenson.Tricks Puzzle Women. .After the dinner the class went ina body to the home of Mr. and Mrs.Frank Harris, 5000 Ellis avenue. Theprogram started with a sleight-of­hand exhibit by McNama1'a, whichkept the women ,guessing as theytried to follow the progress of ricefrom one cup to another until it be­came water.A quartet, gotten up on the spurof -the moment, and consisting ofStephenson, Graybill, 'Kellogg, andHenderson, sang, "It'� a, Long, LongWay.to Tipperary" .and' several oftheold songs.

Margaret Fenton and LouiseFord gave recitations.Sine "Alma Mater.""Going to' Jerusalem," grand-right­and left, and dancing formed the- di­version for the rest of the evening.. Ices, cakes and candies were served.The class closed the evening by sing­ing "Alma Mater."One of the fastest and closest gamesof the Conference season-in fact, atypical Chicago- \Visconsin contest, isscheduled for Madison tonight.While the Badger quintet is hardly upto the standard of former seasons,Coach Meanwell has a formidable ag­gregation. \Visconsin's traditionalsuccess on the home floor will alsoprove a big factor in the contest.Chicago has not beaten Wisconsinat Madison since 1910, when CaptainHoffman's team took an extra periodstruggle. This is the only game theCardinal has lost on the home floor insix years. Coach Meanwell, how­ever, has warned the fans this yearthat they must expect more defeatsthan in the past, and has declaredthat he will be satisfied if the teamwins eight and loses four games dur­ing the season.The Badger lineup will consist ofCaptain Lange and Smith at guards,Flodden at center, and Olsen andLevis at forwards. Every man withthe exception of Captain Lange is astranger in Conference basketball cir­cles. From all reports Coach Mean­well ·is liavirig a hard time finding :1man to oppose.' Des Jardien. TheBadgers fear Shorty's strength andexperience, and believe that if he canbe smothered, they will have little dif-'6culty winning.Chicago will have the regular lineuptbt started the Ohio game. Steven­son and Kixmiller will work at for­;wards, Townley at center, and DesJardien and George at guards. Her­man Stegeman will have his first op­portunity to break into the gamesince he was injured in the North­western contest. With Haas, of Wis­consin, also out with a sprain, the twoteams will be under the same handi­cap in this respect.Coach Page will take a squad ofeleven men to Madison. The teamleaves early this morning from theNorthwestern station. The follow­ing men will make the trip: CaptainStevenson, Stegeman, George, Kix­miller, Des Jardien, Schafer, Town­ley, Tharp, Bondy, Satt, and Gold­stone.

We ask ourselves, there­fore, what the burning, or at leastsmoldering, questions of the Uuniver­sity campus today are. Council elec­tions-a month or so away; HonorSystem - examinations are twomonths away and the question of stu­dent honesty never arises at any othertime; 'Point System-well, we're sad­dled with that particular Franken­stein and may as well make the bestof it for the present.And, anyway, a wolf in humanform, some two rooms down the hall,is pouring the dregs of a sin-cankeredsoul into the strains of Ballin' theJack, in a manner which puts coher­ent thought on any matter out of thequestion. Que faire done?. And, inorder to preserve our neutrality, weare bound also to add, Was sol1 manda machen?Why is Ballin' the Jack anyway?Its main virtue, it appears to us, liesin the fact that it enables the musi­cians of the nickle theater the morecorrectly Ito imitate those soundswhich might conceivably result fromholding a pig-sticking festival in asaw-mill. \Vhich, it must be admit­ted, is but a negative virtue, at best,To us, the strangest phenomenonabout the whole thing is that presum­ably cultured people not only toler­ate these "rags," but seem to enojythem.The main defense for these atroci­ties is that they enable the worn-outshopgirl, the fatigued eibbon-eounterclerk, and the tired ditch-digger toobtain one of the few aesthetic sensa­tions which it lies within their powerto appreciate. Better half a loaf thanno vacation at all. Such peoplewould undoubtedly derive less enjoy­ment from hearing Wagner than theydo from hearing Ballin' the Jack.True enough! But we are not speak­ing of the tired hod-carrier, et a1.We are speaking of a University pub­lic which seems to welcome such de­praved modes of expression as wefind in "Oh, My Love" and "WhoPaid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van\Vinkle?" To pay such songs thecompliment of calling them immoralwould be the basest of base flattery.\Ve wish we knew a polite synonymfor the filth these songs rcallv repre­sent.Our own attitude in the matter isvery simple.

Dyneley Prince CommemoratesWork of Semitic Language Pro­fessor- Took Fate Calmly.The life of the late Robert FrancisHarper. brother of former PresidentHarper. and one time professor ofSemitic Languages and Literature atthe University, is commemorated inan article in the January Americanjournal of Semitic Languages. J'.Dyneley Prince of Columbia univer­sity. a personal friend of Mr. RobertHarper is the author."It is impossible for me to des­cribe even briefly the all too shortcareer of Robert Francis Harperwithout saying a word as to our per­sonal relations, which remained unin­terrupted until the day· of his death,"says Mr. Prince. "When in 1888-89I went. a young lad. as secretary toDr. J. P. Peters, who was the direc­tor of the University of Pennsyl­vania's first expedition to Babylonia.I made what turned out to be one ofthe most enduring friendships of myscholastic life. Robert Harper wasfour years older than I and conse­quently became for me during my for­mative period a dominant influence.I can never forget his youthful en­thusiasm for his chosen subject andthe care which he displayed in initiat­ing me into the intricacies of Semiticscience. Even at that time his scien­tific horizon was a wide one and ofincalculable benefit to me. whom healways treated like a younger brother.Robert Harper spent the greaterpart of 1891-92 copying texts in theBritish museum. after which he be­came associate professor of Semiticlanguages and literatures at the Uni­versity of Chicago from 189Z till 1900,when he was promoted to a full pro­fessorship. Harper's Assyriologicalwork was largely that of a recorderand expositor of important texts.This is instanced by his "Assyrianand Babylonian Letters Belonging to-the' - Kouyunjik' Collection of theBritish Musenm,fP �f_ which fourteenparts have been published to da�e(1892-1914). This was really hISmagnum opus, as he formed his in­tention of devoting his chief energyto these collections when he first be­gan to work as a student in the Brit­ish Museum. He published alsoBabylonian and Assyrian Literature,1901, and his invaluable Code of Ham­murabi, 1904. Besides these works,he edited, together with ProfessorsFrancis Brown and George F. Moore,Old Testament and Semitic Studiesin Memory of William Rainey Harpertwo volumes, 1908."The unraveling of intricate purelyphilological problems bad but littlecharm for Robert Harper. His waspre-eminently the mind of a chron­icler, and his greatest ambition wasto be a leading modem reproducerof ancient Asyro-Babylonian annals.His knowledge of early Babyloniansigns was almost unrivaled, and theable correctness of his many trans­lations testifies as to his accurate ac­quaintance with the language. Heoften told me that he was never sohappy as :when engaged in copyingand deciphering an intricate text.I n addition to his scholarly workhe was a competent and most ind�trions executive, both socially andscientifically. For example, he wasone of the founders of the QuadrangleClub of the University of Chicago,and was an active member of the Uni­versity Club of Chicago and of theWhitefriars Club of London. Hissplendid work as editor in chief since1907 of the American Journal of Se­mitic Languages is known to schol­ars all the world over. He was alsoassociate editor of the Biblical Worldand of the American Journal of The­ology.
