No. 8 E A ST LANSING NOVEMBER 18, 1921 IN A CROWDED ROOM and with many students standing in the halls, the Disarmament Dis cussion class met in the "Y" cahinet room last Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. T he discussion which was led hy Dr. Ward Giltner, was very appropriately confined to the discussion of the background for the cause and the necessity of wars as revealed in nature. Valuable discus sions were brought forth.by various members. Since the class has increased to such an extent in number, it is probable that the next meeting will be held on the main floor of the "Y" building where each one may be accommodat ed with a seat. It is of special interest to note . that so many of the students really are awake to the import of the question of disarmament. Major Mack Garr of the military department will lead the discussion next Sunday in which he will present the ideals and principals of an army. This is certain to be of great interest to everyone. SEVERAL CASH PRIZES are open to M. A. C. horticulture students at the meeting of the Michigan State Horticultural Society to be held in Grand Rapids Dec. 7. The senior pom ology and landscape gardening students are preparing to take part in the speaking contest time. The society offers prizes held at that of $15, $10 and $5 for the best five-minute speech on horticultural subjects. Ten students are to be entered. P. L. BUTTRICK, assistant professor of for estry, was guest of the new England section of the Society .of American Foresters at their annual field meeting last August. The meet was held near Plymouth, Mass., so an oppor tunity was afforded to observe the work of the Massachusetts Forestry Commission. T he members of the society and their guests were housed in cabins erected for the purpose, and each day made expeditions into the surround ing country. The professor brought back with him some seeds of a European species of legu minous plant that has been successfully used for preliminary planting on sand dunes in or der to hold the shifting sand. It is thought this plant- may be of value in fixing dunes in certain parts of Michigan.

Vital questions in connection with survey operationss will be taken up at this time, with Michigan problems coming in for a major portion of attention. The Soil Survey Workers Association representatives from t he various state agricultural colleges, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Canadian agricultural institutions, and other cooperating bodies. T he chief purpose of the annual meet ing will be presentation of soil survey methods by different members of the association, with the idea of correlating the work in various parts of the country and developing new features. Recognition of the work being done in Michigan in the soil survey field led to the scheduling of this year's, meeting at East Lansing by the Survey Association.

SERGEANT C H A S. H. ROBINSON who has been stationed at M. A. C. for the past five years has asked to be relieved from duty here on account of ill-health. Sergeant Robinson has been a very ardent supporter of M. A.

TRUCK AND TRACTOR OPERATORS on Michigan farms will have opportunity to study correct methods of handling their machines at a spe cial short course which opens at the College on November 28.

Though news items of our classmates (1905,) are no::e too numerous, Mrs. (Bernice Jackson) Gardner and I are always interested in what is happening in the insti tution. interesting are the ac counts, like those of Reimer in a recent issue, of those among alumni or faculty, who are doing outstanding constructive work. T he real measure of any institution is the achievements of its present and former students, the part that they play in the affairs of men.
