Unnecessary waste in various chan
nels was discussed by Prof. DE Witt
Clinton Croissant of George Washing
ton University. in an address to mem
bers of the commercial graduating
class of Eastern High School at East
ern last night. The occasion. was the
first time that two-year class in COM
mercial subjects had been formally
graduated from an academic high
school.
Prof. Croissant declared that, The
world is all cluttered UP with people
who are unable to see any. possibilit:
of improvements in things" He cited
the present complex method Of spelling
as one of the unnecessary ways in
which energy and time were wasted
DR.. Willard S. Small, principal o.
Eastern. spoke briefly. Certificate

of the department of business practice
in the high schools.
Glass night exercises were combined

BADGERS lack COACHES
Wisconsin Votes to Resume Ath-

Called Tutors.

MADISON. Wis. June 13.-When the
athletic council and faculty Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin decided last Mon
day that athletics should be resume ed
during 1s17-1s1S, after having been dis
continued some time ago on account OF
the war, they did not reckon with the
inroads which the army. the navy and
the ambulance service had made in the
coaching stan of the institution. The
resumption of sports will come with
the foot ball season. and today there
Is no coach in sight. The same is true
OF other branches Of athletics DR.. Paul
Wilmington. who coached the foot ball
team last year, has completed his work
In the Harvard Medical School and has
notifed Athletic Director Tom Jones
that he is preparing to go to France.
Nearly all of the assistant coaches
have either enlisted in the military
service or have drifted to other schools.
Athletic Director Jones has already
started to build up his department, but
ne said that under the most favorable
Developments the Wisconsin teams
which will play out the schedule of
sports next season will be composed Of
hastily developed athletes, as enlist
ments OF veterans have almost an

Results Not Expected.

Finally the radical convention and its
resolutions have attracted practically no
attention in the newspap ers or elsewhere
and the absence Of editorial discussion
may be accepted as symptomatic. Tho
midsummer meeting Of the reichstag may
produce spasmodic revival Of the discus
sion. but few people in Germany seem to
expect any tangible results during the
war.
There are two obvious reasons for the
decline OF the reform movement. One Is
the cockiness OF tho government. which
feels very sure Of its strength and posi-
ton In view Of the collapse Of Russia s
offensive power and Of the fsdinR effect
upon the reform movement Of tho Russian
revolution and Americas war declaration
