Can't Swim-No Diploma.

II must seem exceedingly funny to
foreigners when they read That TN"
Columbia university of New York city
refused u degree To "a student who had
PASSED his examinations with credit
simply because he did not know how
Ia swim. This decision of the uni
versity authorities. which is strictly
in conformance with the rules of that
institution, opens a number of inter
estinP and pertinent questions. DO
students attend university To acquire
an education and "A certain amount of
learning or To learn how To swim, PLAY
baseball and football? If the argu-
ment is used that the ability to swim
is a necessary accomplishment which
the university has "a right Ia make a
condition Ia he fulfilled by those who
wish to obtain u degree, would IL not
be pertinent To ask why the univer-
sity authorities have singled out
swimming Why not dancing, football
playing, rowing. pole vanlting nr
tight-rope walking OF course, no
body will dispute that the ability To
swim ~ desirable but there are hun
dreds Of thousands of men. young and
old, who do not know how 10 swim,
vet are fully capable To do their LIES
work crcditably The requirement

"LITTLE HOST SISTER"

LITTLE LOST SISTER .
How to apprise the theater goer
reliably of the new play he wants
that is the problem. Most thea rical
men are deeply in the dark about
how to solve it today as they ever
were.
Yet this year several theatrical
death defyers" have taken the leap.
Those are the fellows who have
staged white slave plays. Two Chi
cago producers rank foremost in
this line. They are Robert f. Rick
son and Frankk Gazzolo. These
men are the producers OF Little

Rose, from Miss Virginia Brooks
remarkable book.
The play has mot with unusual
success. Perhaps the one big reason
for this is the fact that the story is
true and the presentation is accu-
rate. Both the writer of the book
and the dramatist have studied
hard, diligently and faithfully the
conditions which cause young girls
to go astray. And they have writ
ten wonderful play.
