Three Great College Reforms

From The Remaking of College Life-An
 Undergraduate View by George E.
 Kearney, of the University of Pennsyl-
 vaIia, i'll the Scribner.
 The three great reforms-the abolition of the freshman hazing. the modification of our fraternity rushing" system, and the establishment of democratic freshman dormitories-are going to mean a great deal to the college student of the future. When he enters his college he will be put at his best instead of his worst by the hearty, sincere welcome of the undergrad uate body instead of their former abusive treatment He can avoid the pitfalls of joining exclusive groups and fraternities before he has learned to know his own classmates. Lastly, when the freshma n dormitory system is well established a definite assrnilative organization will be accomplished. These are the college 5 corrective mea sures to bridge the gulf be- tween the college civilians and the grow ing class of the hoi polloi, and to restore the interacting communal life of yester- day They cannot help making our col lcges more democratic-more in accord with American ideals-and they will go a
 long way toward making it possible for the student to live a freer and broader
 life in his college.
 But these -cnaISes-so estshS tiaSeu o"' in our college communities today a re only a part of a great movement that IS readjusting college life to it's new condi- tions Yesterday great emphasis was laid or classroom efficiency; today the college is more concerned with "culturiZng, not specially the classroom, but college life at large. very sincere effort is being
 made to reconcile the intellectual life of the cla ssroom with the life of the univer- sity. which has too often, In the past, worked at cross purposes with the ideals of the institution. There is no use of re- crea ting the communal life at college if it is going to result in a flattening of it's in- tellectual life to conform with the intel lectual and cultural standards of our average student An atmosphere must be created which will play up to the cultural ideals of the college and not down to schoolboy standards.

 Science has discovered that gunfirc affects the earths surface much like an earthquake SO 1t is not surprising 10 learn that guns are being located by the seismograph-the delicate little instru- ment which records terrestrial tremors. /n Austrian authority on the subject of earth1uake disturbances announces that atl seismograph can record the posi- ton O. hostile artillery as well as the caiiber of the guns.
 In the fairly recent engagement be- tween Italian and Austrian troops at Isonzo, the tremors induced by the heavy cannonade were duly registered by the apparatus, and the operator was able to detect, by means of diagrams of arti- ficial movements of the grounds, the diff ferc zee between the shocks recorded by the fall of projectiles and those caused by the recoil of the guns.

INSPECTORS REPORT SPLENDID PROGRESS
 IN DIPPING CATTLE
Nearly 50,000 Head of Cattle Dipped in Jefferson County During Past
 Month

Since the adoption of the compulsory cattle dipping law in Jefferson county May 9, much progress has been made in ridding the cattle of ticks. According to inspectors the dipping of cattle has met with less real opposition in Jefferson than in any county in the state. There was for a time, some little dissatisfaction among cattle owners in certain sections of the country, but since it has been demonstrated that the dipping is not in- furious to cattle, but on the other hand dissatisfaction has practically disap- peared.
 While two dipping vats have been de- stroyed by dynamiters, they have been rebuilt by the county and dipping was not delayed. The inspectors in charge think that with the present cooperation the tick will be eliminated in this county before the end of the year.
 In report of the counties in Alabama doing active work and those having con- pleted work, the government shows splendid progress. In the Il counties having completed work, very small percentage of the cattle show signs of ticks. Out of 4s15 herds composed of 7,452 head of cattle only 6S herds were found to be infected in July.
 According to the government report, Jefferson county one of the latest to start the work, dipped 12,7l6 herds or 4S ,2S4 head of cattle in July. It also showed considerably more infected cattle, the number of herds with ticks being S150, or 11,712 head of cattle. The dipping vats in active operation in the county are 1S6, while several others are being built.
 Following is the government report showing the status of tick eradication work in Alabama for the month of July, in counties completing the work:

TURKS ARE ROUTED IN ATTACK ON SUEZ
 BY BRITISH TROOPS
Continued from Page one)

Before the flank attack our mounted troops retired slowly until the enemy be- came involved in sand dunes late in the evening of the fourth. A counter att tack was then made by all arms. which was completely successful and at dawn on the 5th the pursuit of the retreating enemy was taken up with vigor and Is being continued at the time this report is sent.
 "The enemy suffered heavy losses. By 8 p. m. on August over 2500 unwounded prisoners, including some Germans, four mountain guns, and a number of machine guns had been captured. Our casualties were not heavy.
 Australian and New Zealand mounted troops displayed steadiness in holding the strong flank attack and an energy and initiative worthy of the highest praise in the pursuit. Territorial troops from England have done exceedingly well. especially in maneuvering over heavy sand in spite of the great heat.
 Monitors firing from the Bay of Tina assisted materially in the operations, while the work done by the royal flying corps was excellent.

THE reason for slapstick and the
 worst that is in motion pie
 ~ lures, according to David Wark Griffith in his brochure, The Rise and Fall of Free Speech in America" is due primarily to censorship.
 Let those who tell us," writes the great director, ito uplift our art, invest money in the production of an historic play of the time of Christ. They will find this cannot be staged without incurring the wrath of a cer- tain part of our people. The Massa- ere of St. Bartholomew, if produced will tread upon the toes of another part of our people. I was considering the production of the history of the American people only this last year It got into the papers. From all over the country 1 was strongly advised that this was not the time for play on the American revolution, because the English and their sympathizers would not take kindly, during these emotional war times, the part the English played in the wars of the American revolution, and that the pro-Germans would not care to see the Hessians play the part they would play in the story of our free dom.
 Tn other words, so long as cen sorship holds the motion picture un- der its thumb, it is in every way en- slaved. It dares not speak the truth on any subject and therefore must confine itself to ridiculous, injurious and childish slapstick and absurd and weak dramatology.
