There are many who suggest that a
knowledge Of the real state Of military
preparedness in the United States
would lead to a popular demand for q
greatly improved system Of defense,
including a naval building program
calling for many millions Of dollars.
Would these men refuse to examine
the locks in their own homes for fear
they might find them insecure and be
forced by conscience to purchase new
ones?

Investigation Of our national prepar-
edness does not necessarily mean that
after investigation will follow a great
smothering appropriation for new
dreadnoughts, guns that cost each as
much as a beautiful library building,
and army pay rolls that will tax us
to the limit OF financial endurance. An
investigation would show US how safe
we are, how much safer we should be-
and how great is the need Of immedi-

shortly to affect a reorganization
have been confirmed by an official Of
the corporation. 1t is understood that
holders Of Pepperell stock will be
given three shares Of the new corpor-
alton for one Of the present corpor-
alton. This proposed reorganization is
along the line made few years ago
by the Amoskeag Co. of Manchester
and contemplates the formation Of
a voluntary partnership association
in place OF the present corporation.
Such an association would be advan-
tageous to the Massachusetts, stock
holders who are now obliged to pay
a tax upon their stock as it is-an out
Of the State corporation. This tax
amounts to one-half their dividends
and in many instances works hard
ship, especially with owners Of small
amounts Of stock largely dependent
upon their dividends Tor their income.
The reorganization Of the corporation
as a partnership or voluntary associa-
ton would do away with the tax at
present imposed upon the Massachu-
sets stockholders.

Ann Arbor, Mich.-During the forty
four years that DR.. James B. Angel
has been president or president emer-
titus of the University of Michigan he
has preached the doctrine of true de-
mocracy among college men. And now
the venerable educator in his eighty

clubhouse, cosmopolitan in character,
which will be the common meeting

as a clearing house for all student &C.
tivitieS, thoughts and tendencies.
DR.. Angel several years ago made
the statement that the minds and char
acter of young men receive as deep
and abiding impressions from mixing
with one another as they do from con-
tact with their professors. That sound
ed a new note in education and gave
an indication of what might be eX
pected in modern university develop
ment.
The Michigan union aims to give stu
dents that broader education that
comes from knowing men. Michigan
has $500 students. coming from every
part of the globe. and the exchange Of
ideas. among cosmopolitans is consider
ed by DR.. Angel one Of the greatest
needs at all the large universities.
1t is claimed at the University of
Michigan that a great student body
such as the Michigan union has the
power to democratize undergraduates
by eliminating artificial barriers be-
tween Greek letter fraternity men and
Independents. between rich and poor.
In fact, the Michigan union has al
ready done much along that line, but
it's real opportunity will come. accord

The entire cost will be $1,OOOOO0. OF
that sum $25O,OOO is for an endowment
to insure dues so low that the advan-
tages of the union will be within the
reach of every student. The building
will contain many Of the features
found today in the fine clubhouses Of
large cities-swimming pool. meeting
rooms, billiards and bowling alleys.
banquet halls and dormitories for re-
turning alumni.
The campaign to raise the 100000
will be started in October. A Michigan
union committee is to be found in each
of the lec ding cities Of America-1S3
In all. When the campaign begins an

Georgia Senate Passes Measure-Roek-
efeIIer School Affected.

Atlanta, Ga. The Georgia senate
passed a measure teohibiting whites
from teaching in negro schools of the
state. It carries a provision that
makes it effective at once if it passes
!. the house.
The measure will affect numerous
negro schools in Georgia endowed by
northern philanthropists. In many
cases the faculty and in nearly every
instance the president of the school
are white persons sent to Georgia by
the society or person controlling the
school. One Of these schools is SPELL
man seminary. in Atlanta, which is
supported by John D. Rockefeller
The Georgia measure is copy of the
Kentucky law which has been upheld
by the United States supreme court
