A persistent suspicion that Aid.
Lodge has more brains than most men
has been verified by his scheme for bar
ring automobiles from Belle Isle at GER
tain times. after the new bridget
there is to be new BRIDGES built.
AID. Lodge proposes to keep Belle Isle
free from automobiles on Saturdays,
Sundays and legal holidays between the
hours of noon and ! p. m.
The more this suggestion is considered,
the wiser il looks.
Certainly, Belle Isle should be play
spot for children, as we'll as a sightseeing
course for automobilists; and with equal
certainty, the beauties of the island
should be free TO range securely over its
thoroughfares.
But in the evenings, when automobiles
are most numerous on the city's drives.
and when children ought to be seeking
their homes, he would open the island
avenues to them.
His idea is happy compromise be-
tween those who would bar automobiles
from the island entirely, when the new
bridge is finished, and those who would
force the children TO take their chance
of safety on the Belle Isle roads.

A month later the clerk was back TO report

Nv Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crans)


declared in an Alumni Day address the
other day that one of the difficult prob
lens at the university is that Of too large
an allowance of spending money for
students.
Every dollar over $1,000 year," he
said, increases the difficulty of an
undergraduate leading an intellectual
life, and every dollar over 81 800 be-
comes positive peril to his moral and
intellectual life. unless he is so notori-
ously rich that he is constantly called
upon for large subscriptions, and even
these gifts had better come from the
young mans father"
So long as universities are supported
by contributions from the rich, so long
will the class notions. the crude standards
Of success, and the taste for display and
extravaganza, which dominate the rich,
give color to the life of those within the
institution. The university is minia-
ture world. Life there is smitten with
the same snobbery. affectation and gen.
eral moral unhealth that are formed in
the homes from which the darlings Of
prosperity come.
A boy ought TO go to college to train
his body, his intellect. his will his
emotions, his tastes. and his hands.
AS a rule his intellect is trained
little. and the rest Of him not at all.
Athletics is not scientific training of
the body. It is often ruinous.
His will. emotions. and tastes can only
be rightly developed through discipline.
And to discipline a large amount Of
spending money is fatal.
Most boys go to college to have a good
time. They endure the lessons as
necessary evil. II is bad form to refer
to them outside the class room. You
must talk athletics, college politics, secret
societies-anything but mathematics or
history.
What the fond parents expect is that
the youth make advantageous social
acquaintances.
Nobody, except possibly the profess
scrs, seems to care a whoop about the
studies. And for very good reason.
The studies are generally useless, adapted
to a past generation and to kind OF life
remote from the twentieth century.
Naturally. therefore, to cut down the
young mans allowance is to cripple his
efficiency. The things he and his parents
want are measurable in terms Of dollars,
not in terms of culture.
The only way to cure things Is, first,
to get the university away from finan-
cial dependence upon the rich, who are
the least ethical class among US, and to
put the burden of its support upon the
whole people, through the state.
Second. to train a youth definitely for
some sort of efficiency in the worlds
work and for value as social and civic
unit.
The medieval ideal Of scholarship
must be discarded. The modern idea
should be to make every youth capable
Of supporting himself and of co-operat-
ing politically with his fellow members
of the state.
To obtain this would not cost half OF
81 200 year.
However, to weed out all the fool, USE
less, and corrupting ideas from the
school we would first have to weed them
out of the community that supports it;
and that is long way off.
