PERFECT VENUS IS
DUG Up IN CYhENE:
Found In Ancient Bath-HaS
No Flaw.

What enthusiastic Psychologists
described as the most perfect Venus
hitherto come to light has just been
discovered in the Thermal or Baths
Of Cyrene, where extensive eXcava-
lions are being carried on under
the direction Of Professor Ghislau-
zoni, says E. P. Strut, l. N. S. Cor
respondent at Rome.
The statue, somewhat larger than
life-size, is in a perfect state Of
preservation, the lovely head and
arms untouched by time, and be-
longs to the Greco-Roman period,
bearing a strong resemblance to
the Venus of the Capitol 1t will be
remembered that another magnifi
cent statue of Venus, unfortunately
headless, was discovered a few years
ago at Cyrene and is now one Of
the greatest treasurers of the Muir
60 dele Terme, in Rome.
When Prof. Ghislauzoni saw the
beautiful work Of art emerging from
the soil like Venus from the waves
he became so excited that he shout
ed to the Arab workmen to put up
their spades, lest they might injuro
the statue in the slightest detail
and with eager hands proceeded to
remove the millennial earth reTe"-
emily, as If unwilling a goddess. u.
fortunately he sustained some abra-
sions of the skin Of the hands
which became infected and for
some time it was feared that he
would succumb to blood-poisoning
Latest adyices from Bangasi,
however, announce that the profes-
sor is out of danger and will short
ly have the satisfaction Of person
ally escorting the most beautiful
Venus in the world to Rome.

SoFTEsT JOB HELD
BY ANN kRB0R POET
$1,000 For Influence Of
Verse On Students.

Discovered-the worlds softest
! job.
/ Robert Frost, New England poet,
has it. All he has to do is to live
in Ann Harbor, Mich, and let his
artistic influence flow out over the
campus and through the academic
corridors Of the University of Mich
i. igan.
For this he receives $4,000 a year!
And he doesn't have to instruct Il
single class in the art of making
/ "bleu" and you" rhyme, with the
correct number Of feet to line.
According to an announcement by
DR.. Marion Leroy Burton, president
Of the university. Mr.. Frost was
retained at the beginning Of plan
to spread culture among the stu
dents through the medium of per-
sonal contact rather than by class
room instruction.
students Will Benefit"
The student body will benefit i'm
measurably merely by contact with
great and loving personality" said
DR.. Burton. 1--WE desire only that the
artist shall be merely human be-
ing. This time we have chosen a
poet. He will come to live here in
September and remain for a year.
Next time we may select a sculptor
"a painter or scholar. A gift Of
$4,000 from former Governor Chase
S. Osborn has made the poets visit
possible"
The new venture has created
sensation in academic circles here.
Following are a few opinions ex
pressed by Chicago educators.
1.-THE experiment represents an
interesting return to the patronage
system Of artists which broke down
about one hundred and fifty years
ago. 1t will be a great thing for
Michigan. Dean p. H. Boynton, Of
the University of Chicago.
Il think it would do the institu-
ton more good if the poet would
give instruction in the form of reg.
ular class work. Glass work offers
unparalleled opportunity for person
al contact and influence with the
students. Prof c. II. Judd. Chi
cago University.
1T would be a great stroke of
genius if universities would adopt
this as definite policy. Many men
are hindered by classes. It's only
a scholarship plan for professors in.
stead of students. Prof. C. F. Tao
usch, OF Northwestern University.

"Can you imagine what would happen
If you were to walk down the aisle Of
your church some morning with a wom-
an considered not quite respectable ?"
This question was asked in a young
womens Sunday school class last Sunday
by teacher who, although a mere law
yer, somehow has caught the vision Of a
socialized church.
~ see some of you smile at the very
thought" he continued. You know that
you would be very severely criticised. If
you have any doubts, try it."
Why?
Because the idea has taken root that
the church is intended to save some
body from something; that 1t is place
for the good to gather once or twice a
week.
