THE NEW GYM AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION How shall the new gymnasium min ister for the greatest good to the stu dents of M. A. C? Whatever the an swer to this question there is a firm conviction that a new branch of edu cation will be offered at M. A. C. upon the gymnasium. the completion of Whether this shall involve the crea tion of a department of hygiene and physical education, of which athletics will be but a branch, is not all-impor tant—the matter of organization could not be all-important. At the outset it should be observed that whatever is done will add to the financial burden of the College. And this at a time when additional finan cial burdens are not to be taken up hurriedly. But the College will take up this one through a realization of the necessity of doing more for stu dents in the future than has been pos sible in the past. And, so far as we can see, it seems as. if the new sys tem will saddle new and additional courses upon the students—this when the general tendency seems to be to cut down the number of courses. But this additional burden should be born lightly by the students when it is real ized that not until some program of physical education is adopted can they pretend to get a balanced college train ing. And what is more necessary than personal health and a knowledge of conditions which make for both per sonal and community health? training The new system will necessarily in volve physical examination of every tabulation of health student and a stop measurements, but it will not here. to It will prescribe individual needs. It will not meet confine itself to remedying defects or recommending treatments for disease. It will teach positive measures of hy giene and sanitation. It will involve the assignment of a college health of ficer who shattrliave the health of the college family under supervision at all times, and who shall be looked upon as a personal friend and adviser of the individual students. We shall have more to say upon this Just now it is suffi question later. THE M. A. C. RECORD. cient to point out that M. A. C. does not need such a system of physical education as would be worked out where there are clinical needs of some department, or where one of the ob j e c ts of the college is to turn out spe cialists in physical education. We do need to have our graduates physically efficient as well as mentally and to en dow them with an aggressively sympa thetic attitude towards modern health movements. * * * The responses of the alumni in the discussion of athletic matters has been most gratifying, and the editor feels that the atmosphere has been much clarified thereby. As with every ques tion, however, there comes a time when nothing can be gained by fur ther agitation and we believe that that time has come with this, so with this issue we will be pleased to discontinue for the present the discussion of ath letic propaganda. It might be pointed out that of the list of county offices available the M. A. C. men, as reported in this issue, have selected the one which would appear to be of most lasting benefit. * * * This is the first Record issued since December 19. NEW INSTRUCTORS.

Brewer, of the University of Missouri, will be the new athletic director of the Mich igan Agricultural college, providing he can be induced to accept the posi tion. Several members of the Board, however, indicated that chances are none too bright for securing Brewer but that a committee is communicat ing with him, and it is hoped to have a definite reply by January 24, the date set for the next meeting of the Board. The resignation of county agent Zimmer, of Wexford county, was ac cepted and George E. Piper, a graduate of M. A. C, was appointed in his place, appointment to take effect January 10. resignation of Dr. George Shafer, research associate in entomol ogy and secretary of graduate work, was received to take effect at the end of this college year but not accepted.

RECORD. THE INFLUENCE OF MODERN ED UCATION ON THE HOME. - 5 (Extracts from a paper presented before the Michigan Agricultural Col lege Woman's Club, November 13, 1916, by Agnes Hunt Cade, formerly professor of domestic science at M. A. C, together with some statistics col lected by the editor from other state colleges and universities of the Middle West giving courses in home econom ics.) In presenting this paper, before you today I have interpreted the subject "The Influence of Modern Education On the Home" with the view that the sphere of women is in the home. Conceding this point, will you kind ly follow with me the development of education of women in this country? The Colonists, never indifferent to the needs of education, early established so-called colleges with preparatory schools for boys. The only education that a girl might obtain was as an escort for her younger brother to one of these schools or in private Dame interesting combi Schools; a rather nation of needling work, dancing, and refined manners. These were usually run by some widow for whom this was her sole income. Later came the double-header the girls might attend school but in separate classes and separate hours. in which The story of the organization of the Boston High School for Girls is given in the "Report of the Commissioner "On Sep- of Education" as follows: B.

A. C. RECORD. GLEANINGS FROM THE STATEMENTS OF EDUCATORS. Can anything be done to awaken intellectual interests and to quicken intellectual life among undergraduates pur suing a general course in education? Here is a suggestive reply. Where intellectual interest does not spontaneously manifest itself it may be induced by serious work. We not only learn by doing; we also become interested in do ing. Let the faculty insist that students shall work hard, and the students in responding will gradually become con scious of new interests. The standards of scholarship can be raised if each individual teacher in sists on honest work from his students and refuses to lower them for the indolent and the incompetent. The in stitution which retains idle and incompetent students,on its rolls is itself unworthy of the name of college or uni versity. * * * intellectual What is needed in American universities today is a new application of the principle of representative govern ment. The faculty is essentially the university; yet in the governing boards of American universities the faculty is without representation. The only ultimate satisfactory solution * * * is the concession to the professoriate of representation in the board of regents, and these repre sentatives of the intellectual, which is the real life of the university, must not be mere ornamental figures; they should be granted an active share in the routine adminis tration of the institution. President Svhurman, Cornell University, Annual Report. No instructor who does not appeal to and demand the highest intellectual effort possible by every individual stu dent should have a place on the teaching staff of the Mich igan Agricultural College. President K'dzie. Michigan Agricultural College. The following extracts are from a letter in the New York Tribune of December 8 by Dr. Joseph A. Leighton, professor of philosophy at Ohio State University: . "In your article, 'The Underpaid Professor,' you touched a sore spot not only on the professor's cuticle, but on American civilization as well. American colleges •and universities have lately been subjected to much criti cism on the score of inefficiency in teaching and relative in the realm of higher education. A unproductiveness good deal of this criticism is deserved, but the critics have in many cases been blind to the causes. Chief among these are: "1. The dead weight that the professor has to make head against in the indifference to scholarship on the part of many students and the incompetence of the part of many others. He is expected to wheedle, coax, cajole, prod, or drive to the achievement of degrees a consider able number of students who are in the wrong place * The professor's main business, it is quite gener * * ally held, is to see that nearly everybody gets through. "2. The general for high scholarship makes the professor's work to a considerable degree a thankless one. * * * lack of public respect "3. The first and second causes, powerfully reinforced by the meagerness of the prospective income, keep out of the calling many young men of dynamic personalities and high abilities who would be otherwise attracted to it, and lead to the ranks being filled largely by mediorcre men. "The remedies—So long as bigness remains the ulti mate American criterion of success there is little hope for improvement. The disposition of the funds and the deter mination of the policies of colleges and universities are in the absolute control of boards .of non-scholars, advised by the president, who may have been once exposed for a time to the 'unworldly' and 'unbusiness-like' infection of mere scholarship and instruction; but, after a few years' hard work as general business manager and envoy plenipoten tiary of a growing concern, he has probably thrown off all vestiges of that germ-culture. For the public tests of the success of a university, and by consequence of the success of its administration, are rapid increase in attendance and in numbers graduated, improvements of the physical plant, addition of new departments and courses. Very few out siders ever inquire or comment on the matter of addition to the faculty of .distinguished teachers or scholars. The general public certainly knows niuch better, and apparently cares much more for, the gridiron stars. "The institution, in order to keep pace with the times, must expand horizontally by the addition of new courses, departments and curricula. Consequently it cannot grow perpendicularly. * * * that hereafter they would devote "I cannot conceive any better stroke for higher stand ards and decent salaries for the professorate that would be made if some large and well known colleges should announce their in comes to paying substantial salaries to men worthy of them; that they would put no classes wholly in the hands of untried men; that they would refuse to multiply courses and add new departments, and that they would refuse to take more students until the increase in income should be sufficient to provide well proven and well paid teachers for them. * * * "The alumnus might be shocked to read this in the president's annual report: This year we have reduced the attendance by 10 per cent, improving the quality of the work thereby; have abolished the departments of X and Y; reduced the number of courses in sociology to 10, and abolished the school of dendrology. We have thereby been enabled to raise the minimum salary of full professors to $4,000 and the maximum to $8,000. We have called Pro fessor A from the college of B at the maximum. "I awaken with a sudden sense of incongruity. Have I been dreaming of a professor's millennium, of a higher- educational Kingdom of Heaven? It is up to the alumni and the public to say. They are now getting a good deal more than they are paying for. When they pay for more they wilL get it in good measure, pressed down and run ning over. The professor, as I know him, has the frailties of humankind, but he is not stingy of time, energy or knowledge." THE M. A C. RECORD. 7 THE INFLUENCE OF MODERN ED UCATION ON THE HOME. (Cotinued from page 5.) in happiness and prosperity. The uni versity and college of the Middle West, admitting men and women students on the same credentials, are a frank ac knowledgment of this spirit. There has never been the fierce struggle of women to prove their mental equality in these there has institutions, that been in the east. The lives of such women as Alice Freeman Palmer, Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, and many others are full of the struggles and that they made in paving sacrifices the way for the fuller education of women and are deserving all the ap probation that can be given them. From the time that women entered in competition the educational field with men up to the beginning of the twentieth century the attempt was to prove to the unbelieving and all-pow erful man that woman had a brain, that it had grey matter in it, and that it was capable of the same gymnastics as his own. It was a very warm and heated competition, and is still going on in some institutions. Probably such honor societies as Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi have had much to do with the actual proof that the grey matter was of the same or similar caliber. the The modern education which has had its birth with the beginning of the 20th Century and which seems to have the greatest influence for good It on the home is Home Economics. has passed formative through stages for the.most part; it has proved to the public that its existence was justified, that it has something of vital importance to give to the public. This study has not had to prove that it is of equal rank with those of the men but has had to carve for the things that will best fit the woman to enter this heterogenous mass of re lationships that have come upon the screen with such rapidity that most of us can the changes going on in the near past and at present. If such a sane and thor oughly trained mind and brilliant per sonality as Mrs. Ellen H. Richards had not been at the front in directing the tendencies of the new line of thought in its beginnings, I fear we might still be grouping around more than we are at present trying to see the light. look back and see itself In no other field of education is the object primarily and paramountly the home, the family, the individual and those other groups of individuals that are fed, clothed, and sheltered. There for its influence must be more for the good of mankind in general, and in particular, if it is to fulfill its high est ideals. Miss Martha Van Rensse laer, recent president of the Amer ican Home Economics' Association, in "The purpose of an address said: to standardize is Home Economics home ideals. But since the home is the nucleus of all social life, the prob lems of Home Economics are not only those of the home and of the commu nity. The. ideals of the community, state, and nation all reflect back to home standards." the leaven When we consider that the work has been in existence for a little less than 20 years, it may be a little presump- tious to make too many and startling claims for its influence on the home, lest the future years not bear out its claims. In these years a total of prob ably not more than 3,000 graduates from the colleges and universities giv from ing the work are which this influence has been created —a rather small number when we think of all the millions of people in this country. But consider the work done in all the grades, high schools, normal schools, the agricultural de partments of the colleges and universi ties and the Department of Agricul ture and the Bureau of Education at Washington. Surely you will agree with me that the effort has not been I am coming more and without avail. more to believe that the things that stick in the minds of the individual are those things that are learned in the early years. Time after time I have had the experience, when asking a student about some more or less fa miliar process in even though they may have had the answer to the question in class just recently, they will invariably go back to the time when they saw that process done in the home of their childhood or in the grades. Although educators feel that the time might be better spent in other lines of work in the grades than in Home Economics, I believe then is the time that influence will be had on the home in the latter years of that child, considering the amount of time spent. Also, then is the only time a large portion of the children can be reached, for later the percentage that enters the schools of higher learning is relatively small. the greatest the home, Great numbers of country people are feeling this influence of modern edu cation on the home through the Ex tension Departments of the Agricul tural Colleges made possible by the In those communi Smith-Lever bill. ties where clubs and granges have been organized for a few years one finds a greater respect for the home, the women in it, the manner in which those women shall do the work as viewed by the men, and the attitude of the men toward the women in gen eral. Its influence has been that of creating an atmosphere as well as giv ing so many concrete facts that will be of direct the farmer. * * * financial benefit to In a great many of our publications and periodicals of today we find the echo of this modern education some times very crudely expressed. Some of us wish that it might be more ac curately done and wiser choice of sub ject matter but it may have its place in shaping sentiment for a better ap preciation later on. On the other hand we find a de cidedly favorable change of heart in the true scientist toward this applied science. Formerly where he scoffed at the presumption of looking for rela tionships between those processes in the home and those of his laboratory he is now hunting out these with great avidity. One has only to look over such publications as the Science, The Journal of Biological Chemistry, American Journal of Medical Science, and The Journal of Industrial and En gineering Chemistry to find any num ber of articles to be used by the stu dent of Home Economics. In fact so great has been the amount of work done in so short a time that as Miss Marlatt of the University of Wiscon "Over night our pet theory sin says: becomes another hypothesis that does not work." It is a regrettable fact that some of our educators have failed to grasp a better view of the subject. This is especially true of the larger women's colleges. A president in her inaugural address before one of the foremost of these colleges said in substance that there was not enough of cultural or in tellectual training in either cooking or sewing to furnish a serious course of study for any student. (I suppose she pronounced the either with a long i.) Quite in contrast, is a noted organic chemistry specialist who, when asked why he did not work more with foods, "They are to complicated for" replied: me. I prefer the simplier things." A prominent professor of social and political economy, J. Q. Dealey, ex the modern view when he presses says: "After all, the real solution of the domestic problem will depend not on eliminations and regulations so much, since these have only a tempor ary value, as on the spread of scien tific knowledge aiming at the better ment of economic conditions and gen the eral intelligence on the part of whole population." Among Home Economics college graduates the influence of this modern effect. education has had a marked Mr. Langdon has compiled figures from the alumni of M. A. C. showing that since the opening of this college to women in 1915 51 per cent of women graduates are married and in their own homes for the most part. That 57 per cent of the married women were married to M. A. C. men. It is hardly giving the last graduates a fair chance to include the last year or included the only to 1910 I feel that the percentage would be very materially larger. Out of the number married he did not known of a single divorce case. I communicated with President Kedzie, who has had as long an acquaintance, probably, with the alumni as any one, and he said he did not recall a single one. "I meet them on every hand and two and figures if 8 they all have their m a r r i a ge only." licenses President Snyder recalled none. T he records of other institutions would, no doubt, be of a similar n a t u r e. Among t he g r a d u a t es from t he University of Illinois between t he years 1902 a nd 1914 I do not know of a single divorce.

On the forenoon of January 18 there wil be held in the stock judging pa vilion of the Agricultural building a sale of 30 pure bred draft horses. In the afternoon 48 Shorthorn cattle will be sold under the hammer. These sales are annual affairs and are held in connection with the meetings of the live stock breeders and feeders. Heretofore students at the college have been privileged to mingle with the breeders at will and the result has been that those who really wanted to bid have not been close enough to other bidders to know that bids were actually being made. This year a sys tem of tickets has been devised and admission will only be allowed upon presentation of ticket. Tickets may farm be secured from Mr. Hudson, manager for the horse show, and Prof. Brown of the Animal Husbandry de partment for the cattle show. Certain tickets will admit to the bidding ring and others to the gallery. It is not the intent of these requirements to bar the student body as at previous sales some of the best purchases have been made by students, but it is hoped that by means of this system a more busi ness-like sale may be conducted. 9 substitute forward; Shumway, substi tute guard.

Dear Editor: It has been my privilege to coach high school athletic teams during the In that time I have past, six years. come in direct contact with scores of boys from various high schools, and have been able to get their viewpoint on the subject of athletics. In my opinion, boys seldom choose the college which they expect to en ter because of the prowess of the ath letic teams representing that college.

The spirit—to win if possible—but to lose, fighting to the last a clean fight. Winning teams in athletics are un doubtedly a source of college adver tisement. These however, should be made up of bona fide stu dents whose records as students are I believe that it is above reproach. possible to have winning teams with out having the charge of mercenarism brought by those who think that ath letes of known high ability were unduly influenced in their selec If the standard is tion of a college. kept high at college; if the alumni around the state see to it that the ad vantages of our M. A. C. are put be fore the graduating classes at each of the high schools, these graduates and athletes will not need to be visited with added inducements to make M. A. C. their Alma Mater. If a good athlete who has "star" ability and a desire to attend at M. A. C, but whose financial means are small, comes with the ambition to work his way through and special favors are shown him in regard to hours and wages, then I be lieve an injustice is done, not only to him but to those other students of ability but small financial means who desire to work their way through but have no favors shown them. They should all stand equal in this regard, and if favors are to be shown at all, I believe that they should be shown to that student who is working for some thing which will bring back credit to M. A. C. in the years of the future, rather than to one who will bring but temporary renown to the college. Let us have an Athletic Director who is a Director not only in the pro ducing of teams, but in the use of that new gymnasium for the good of the majority who cannot or do not have the time to go out for athletics; let us have winning teams; let us have more and more students; let us have a trule college spirit throughout—but set high above all else, let us have the things said of M.
