WORLD PEACE MOOTED AT VARSITY CONFERENCE VISITING PROFESSOR'S HUMANITY

AN INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK

RACIAL PREJUDICES

Vision or Reality ?

One of the most import—t

when a Conference of the International Stadsats' Service Union, the Laagae of Nations Union, and the Christian Unions was held at the Women's CoBtgs.

There were foar sessions, and Conference was ad-dressed by Mrs. E. M . W o d , B.A. , Professor A . Rad-cliffe Brown, M A . , Dr. Clyde A . Duniway, visiting Car-negie Professor, and Mr. G . V . Portns, M A .

Conference met to decide the qnsition of inter-national relations. A feature of the proceedings was the entertaining and enlightening address of Dr. Dtmiway.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

An Instrument of Peace

"WAR ENTIRELY USELESS"

Mr. Wallace Pratt , President of the Christian Union, introducing Mrs. E. M. Wood. B.A.. at the opening of the first session, said that Conference had met to make a decision about war and peace. Drift only led to war. If we wanted peace then we had to work for it. Lloyd George had said that the machinery of peace was more important than the machinery of war.

Mrs. Wood spoke as a student of in-ternational affairs to fellow students. Some people supposed, she said, that because they thought war barbaric, everyone else did. That was wrong. The message of Norman Angell in "The Great Illusion," should be car-ried to people unremittingly until they realised that war was entirely use-less, and never finally settled any question. In any war the conqueror suffered as well as the conquered. ."!2,000,000 effective lives had been lost by wounds, hunger, disease and was-tage in one great war, according to figures given by Professor Roberts. Among the French 25 men had been blinded daily during the war and 12 of that 25 were still living.

Great Britain had borrowed Jil,000,000,000 during the war and was repaying at £100,000 per day. Five-sixths of the debts of Italy and France to Britain had been remitted. Britain had been the victor in war, at a tremendous loss. Yet, Britain still spent £200 per minute on preparation for war. Delisle Burns had said that the next war, if any, would be fought with gas. In view of that, we should attempt to change human institutions. We did not need to change human nature. At Geneva, we had a world civil service as the culmination of a century's development, a definite or-ganisation with a personnel of 600. whose one idea and object was to maintain peace. Their expenditure was £1,000,000 per year to keep the peace against the massed opposition of armies and navies.

We had to beware as much of those who expccted the League to do every-thing as of those who believed it could do nothing. The League had been born in a period of inflamed minds, in an attitude of "Peace with a ven-geance." Every question and difficulty had to be settled over a table either af ter or before war. Why not before?

Why let it cost 10,000,000 lives and 20,000,000 maimed? Difficulties of the League arose from the Treaty of Versailles. For one'hundred years, Poland had been a subject nation. It had inevitably swung to arms. The Polish Corridor split Prussia and was a free source of irritation. Near the free City of Dantzig. Poland made a naval port with submarines. The League had no power to interfere, but Raymond Kershaw, one of our own men, had worked there in trying to create better feeling among the people. The Hungarian question had arisen from the Treaty. So also had the Saar Valley question. Twelve thousand miles of new frontier had been created, and wherever there was frontier there was chance of trouble.

The League had been trying hard to meet frontier tariff difficulties by an economic conference. One hundred and ninety economic experts had un-animously agreed that tariffs be re-duced to save the peace of Europe. The League passed on their recom-mendation and the countries concerned declined to adopt them. The only power behind the League was public opinion.

If public opinion supported the League it coulu do anything. Great

} Britain paid £120,000 a year to the I League and, to the Navy, for writing paper and sundries. £220.000 a year.

CAUSES OF WAR

Sociologist's View

Professor Radcliffe Brown spoke as a sociologist. The sociologist, he said, studied war to find its underlying causes. The general attitude was that it was an evil to be removed. To find a means of doing away with war we had to find the function and raison d'etre of war. Very few people in the world had no warfare—it was almost universal. So it seemed to correspond to some human needs and to be rid of it we had to find its causes.

Taking the Australian Aboriginal peoples as an example, their warfare was, on the whole, better conducted

! than modern war. It was politely ar-ranged. the battleground was selected

! beforehand and it was run accord-| ing to strict rules. The biggest fight | in Australia might reach, by alliances.

FORCE WAS JUSTIFIED"

He told how he had enforced his rights at the point of a rifle, and maintained that he had been justi' fied. "If the man had shown signs of fight, I would have killed him at once," he declared, "and regretted it for the rest of my life."

With his brothers. Dr. Duniway said, he had, at the age of 19 years, gone out into the "backblocks." They had taken up Government land where neighbours were few and far away There had been no police officers, no justices, no church within 50 miles, and no school within 80 miles, ex-cept when he had turned teacher for a brief interval. There had been none of the usual methods of enforcing justice. Every man carried a re-volver on the hip. and a belt filled with cartridges, and a '45 spoke all languages.

The trouble began when a scoun-drel attempted to jump their claim, just aJ the hay harvest was ready. He and his brothers were told, in language he could not repeat, that the newcomer and his henchman would keep the land, and had suffi-cient firearms to do so. To reason was impossible. Submission would have meant the loss of everything.

So, he confessed, without shame, they had descended upon the scoun-drels at dawn, awakening them to the sight of shining rifle barrels. "We told them," he said, "to "quit fast ' . They did."

Many years later, he took his son to the scene. They found a commun-ity in which parties to a dispute no longer used guns, but chose the more expensive way of engaging lawyers to argue the matter before a judge.

Compensation for Varsity

What About It Sydney? How to Encourage "Stranglers" of Our

Own.

BERKELEY, CAL. At a meeting of the commit-

tee of the Associated Students of the University of California—the equiva-lent of the Sydney University Stu-dents' Representative Council, it was decided to give Mr. Hugo Del Pero, the sum of 75 dollars to pay for me-dical bills incurred following an in-jury received in his capacity as the 'Varsity wrestler.

This announcement will prove great food for thought to numerous 'Var-sity sporting enthusiasts, who have spent many sorry hours in after-the-contest beds, and many coins in pay-ing therefor. Possibly, too. it ex-plains somewhat the recent influx of "professors" and "doctors" of the gymnastic arts.

As yet no discussion on compensa-tion for injuries received on the sporting fields, has ever been mooted in Sydney Sports Union circles.

However, if the Sports Union would supply crutches and a strip or two of sticking plaster for its injured heroes, then they might be encour-aged. and we too, might have been able to produce our "stranglers," "wild men." "doctors." and "profes-sors," to make our "Uni." really re-nowned.

CREATION-STORY NOT DISPROVED BY EVOLUTION

DREAMS AND MYTHOLOGY v. REALITY

of the newly-formed University Society for Free Thought last Wednes-day night. Professor John Anderson «sa#hasisad the logi-cal hnpossibility of uparating freedom of thoaght from frssdosn of action.

"There are certain social forces arrayed against free thoaght," he said, "and it is the daty of friithiabsrs to opposs and expose these forces of nhsi'MSsrtism whenever it is possible to do so." " T o the ircwlar mind

Delivering the presidential address, on the subject of "Mythology," Pro-fessor Anderson drew an interesting parallel between the myth and the dream. In the realm of mythology, he said, an ideal world existed; and in this world there were certain "pri-vileged entities," which were not amenable to ordinary scientific laws. The same sort of thinking was to be found in dreams, where an ideal world was established by the dreamer, a world in which he, as the absolute

the enlargement of the groups within society—including the war groups, language groups and so on. There had been a gradual growth of the war-making group to our present national units.

To allow of the enlargement of groups in social evolution conflict within the group had to be suppressed so that common action would be pos-sible. Where suppression was not practicable regulation was necessary. Conflict could never be entirely elim-inated while human nature remained the same. It was easier to manage a small group than a large one, because there was not the same extent of con-flict and possible conflict. In a small group conflict might be suppressed and the group would turn outwards for the expression of antagonism. We were ready to go to war at any mo-ment. We were organized as much as any Australian horde for ready warfare—otherwise we should not have our current expenditure on army and navy. While we might desire to eliminate all antagonism from our society we could not do so. It was just as necessary to the life of society as solidarity. The readiest means of solidarity v.-as in external opposition. This was evident in the means taken to preserve college esprit dr corps.

Applying our finding to modern conditions we saw that a national spirit found its strength in warfare. The strength of nationalism depended on warfare. The two things were interdependent and developed pari passii. That was evident in White Australia, in that we regarded our-selves as a favoured people and others as unfortunately inferior. To be rid of war we had to be rid of the national spirit.

There were other means of express-ing opposition which did not have evil results. The recent cricket tour was an example. Here loyalty and solid-arity were promoted by opposition without any harmful results. In this way games had the same basic func-

1 tion as war. Those who stood for international-

ism stood for what had to come. Those who stood for nationalism were re-actionary. Every individual counted. We had to be on one side or the other. We had a chance to make a deci-sion one way or the other. Strangely enough, the people who "would not hurt a fly" were those responsible for wars, because of their emotional volatility.

WORLD-WIDE JUSTICE

The Negro Question Professor Duniway asserted that

Professor Radcliffe Brown had laid too much stress on antagonisms. He would not, however, dispute the pre-sence of antagonisms in human re-lations. Nevertheless, he thought he saw in the development of human so-ciety a growing field for common un-derstanding and actual consideration. That, for him, was the culmination of the development of human society.

He realised that, in time of war, one surrendered one's individual con-victions to determination by the group. He recalled the statement made by Mr. Roosevelt about conscientious ob-jectors who would not do a single thing in the national cause, who pleaded that infliction of suffering was an odious and abominable sin in the sight of God and man. Roosevelt had said. "I would send them to the North Sea and make every man of them serve on a mine sweeper." Drastic and hard it was but it illustrated exactly what he meant when he said that a nation had to make a common deci-sion, subjugating individual opinions. There were, had been, and would be, cases where some people stood out against the whole of a group and would endure anything, even martyr-dom, rather than yield. Afterwards when we looked back we would give them their due place, but. under the circumstances, every such person would be given a crown of martyrdom with great cheerfulness by those who believed that the group should control. It was harmony and co-operation for what was, for the time being at least, the common good, which most charac-terised civilised man.

What, under modern conditions, would lie a good organisation for peace ? That was the topic he was to discuss, and he could not begin with-out some remarks upon what peace meant. In one sense it was just ab-sence of war, and in that sense it seemed to him to be something not

worth striving for. He believed that there had been, and would be right-eous wars—times when war was more righteous than peace. That was when it was waged in the interests of jus-tice. The action of the majority of the people in the United States for example, in insisting that the men of the South could not and would not be permitted to go out of the Union, seemed to him a righteous war al-though it had occurred in violation of

] one principle dear to us all. That ! principle, which had been embodied in President Wilson's "Fourteen Points," was that people should have the right to govern themselves when their group was of sufficient size to

! look after itself. But. righteous as that principle was. it had to give way efore the higher principle of the vindi-

cation of justice. There had been really ; another situation in the war to which : he alluded. The basis of that pro-! posed new nationality to proceed from ! the division of the American nation : had been slavery—and slavery of people who. because of their colour ami tradition, custom and mentality after long oppression, were considered incapable of enjoying the rights of manhood. It had seemed to those in

: charge, that they were but children who had to be controlled. He held that

ruler, was not susceptible to any law.. Both dreams and myths were thus a turning-away from reality.

In reference to the creation-myth the speaker pointed out that it was wrong to say, as Huxley did, that the theory of evolution disproved the theory of creation. No individual doc-trine of evolution could contradict any particular account of creation; but the real argument against the crea-tion-story was that if we believed in the laws of scientific causation we would be unable to accept a trans-gression of them, by any such process as creation. The most important feature about the whole of mythology was this necessity in myths for the existence of "privileged entities," which were not under the control of physical laws.

At the conclusion of his address. Professor Anderson again stressed the importance of the connection be-tween thought and action. "The inner state of one's mind," he said, "can-not be separated from outward condi-tions. Thus the attitude of free thought must consist in a continual struggle against the forces of re-straint. and cannot consist in mere inaction."

EMPIRE TRADE BRITAIN AND

DOMINIONS "Industries which give employment

to vast numbers of Australians have grown up. and these would be seri-ously affected by free trade." said Rt. Hon. W. M. Hughes, addressing students in the Union Hall, on Mon-day. September 2!'. Referring to Lord Beaverbrook's policy of tariff walls outside the Empire, and none within. Mr. Hughes waxed eloquent, condemning it as a "doctrine of stag-nation and despair which would throw out of employment half of the people of Australia."

Discussing relations between Great Britain and the Dominions, the speaker pointed out how the war had almost automatically placed the col-onies on equal status with the home-lands, and a revolution in relations was peacefully and completely achieved.

Since the war. everyone has real-ised the value of Empire. "Our boasts of freedom." he said, "those palaces of our hopes, without the British Em-pire. would be 'castles in the air ' ."

That equal rights with the Mother-land presupposed equal responsibili-ties. was the concluding note of Mr. Hughes' address, and thus, considering the difficulty of the present South Africa position, he protested strongly against any action being taken with-out reference to the Dominions of Canada and Australia.

FINAL EXTRA TOUCH

A Journalistic Rencontre (By D.A.)

When I was in my final year at school. I was very keen to win the Laidlaw Prize for English Composi-tion, which, apart from the Duxship, was held to be the blue ribbon of the Sixth Form. My essay was placed second to that of X., and the masters' committee remarked that X. combined with a pleasing fluency and a pretty wit, a wonderfully fertile imagination, and that he could not fail to achieve wealth and distinction if he embarked on a literary career.

That was six years ago, and I had almost forgotten the existence of X., who was never a particular friend of mine, when the other day I hap-pened to sit next to him on the North Shore train.

"Well," I said, when we had shaken hands and exchanged greetings, "in what capacity do you face the world these days? I take it you have em-barked on a literary career; are you achieving wealth and distinction?"

"I have," he replied, "and, gradu-ally, I am."

He explained that he was now

CAPITALIST SOWED SEEDS OF WAR

the Civil War had been a conflict of loyalties and ideals. In that case, it had been righteous to violate one principle for the sake of another. They had explored every possibility of compromise and it became a mat-ter for settlement by force.

The end of peace as he saw it was righteousness. If it did not mean some-thing constructive towards righteous-ness, then there was no peace at all. It meant justice. It would bring peace to the greatest possible number of human beings.

The time had come for the estab-lishment of an international organisa-tion. There might be a better way than the League of Nations. All he looked for was a common agreement for the better realisation of construc-tive justice. Some machinery other than force should be available. The time had come when we ought to get together the world over and try to construct the machinery of peace.

The capitalist class played its part in organisation for war. For the most part it did not want war, although some of course, did very good fishing in troubled waters. In general, they realised that war was against their best interests, but, in the pursuits of their own interests, in their trade policies and competition for raw mat-erials and markets, they often sowed the seeds of war.

He could not hope that his sons would see it.

Mr. Portus made a strong appeal for reform of the Press, for a critical att i tude towards news and for study of material in good periodicals and books.

LONDON, Sunday. When the Duchess of York left

her bedroom to-day for the first time, says the Glamis correspond-ent of the World News Service, the Countess of Strathmore re-minded her of the old Glamis superstition that it is luckier af ter an illness to walk upstairs than downstairs.

The Duchess smilingly walked up two stairs from the bedroom before joining the family down-stairs at tea.

BRITAIN IN EGYPT

WHY SHOULD WE STAY?

PROFESSOR CHARTER1S EXPLAINS

"I cannot i c e w h y fear of an Egyptian attack on British control of the Sues Canal should keep the British in Egypt," said Professor Charteris, in the course of a lecture last week. "When the original contract made be-tween the Canal companies and the Egyptian Govern-ment expires in 1 9 6 8 , the Egyptians will gain consider-ably by the removal of the immunity from taxation, which the Company's servants at present enjoy ."

"It is chiefly fear which keeps us m Egypt ," Pro-fessor Charteris added, "fear th s tep in if w e leave."

The meeting was arranged by the League of Nations Union. It opened at 1.30 p.m. with a conversation be-tween the speaker and the chairman, but by 1.40 p.m., a sufficient hand-ful of the internationally-minded had arrived to form a quorum and enable the address to begin.

Professor Charteris said that the occupation of Egypt by the British dated from 1874. Extravagant bor-rowing and spending by the Khedive had brought Egypt to bankruptcy and the British and French Govern-ments intervened on behalf of their bondholders and set up a foreign con-trol, the British taking charge of pub-lic works and the French of finance. When de Lesseps had asked for capi- :

tal to cut the canal the British had given him none, but now they took ad-vantage of the Khedive's plight to pur-chase his 177,000 shares together with his 55,000 "founders" shares. This made Britain the chief shareholder in the Canal.

In 1881, Araby Pasha revolted. The British offered to join with the French in sending an expedi-tion to suppress the revolt. The French declined, and Brit-ish soldiers alone were respons-ible for its suppression. Moreover, having suppressed it, they decided to stay in Egypt to clear up the mess, and had stayed there ever since.

The French, piqued by their own failure to prevent this military dom-ination by the British, expressed their resentment, until 1902, by "pin-prick" tactics. In 1902, however, the Germans,, who had previously sup-ported England to spite France, be-gan to show that they would in future exact a price for their sup-port. Rather than pay it, England decided to come to an agreement with France. The Entente Cordiale, in brief, gave Britain a free hand in Egypt, and France a similarly free hand in Morocco.

Referring to the Sudan, Professor Charteris said that the Egyptians had merely regarded it as a field for trade, from which they drew their supplies of slaves and other commodities. The Mahdi's campaign of the 'Nineties was primarily a revolt of the Sudan against Egypt. Gordon and Kitch-ener, when fighting it, were fighting as Egyptian officials. When Kitchener finally conquered it in 1898, he was financed by the Egyptian treasury, augmented by the savings made un-der the regime of Lord Cromer.

Kitchener, who succeeded Cromer, gave Egypt a constitution under which the first Egyptian Parliament was to have met in November, 1914. From the outbreak of the war, until 1922, however, Egypt was under mili-tary government. The war was un-iovular with Egyptians, when they found Egypt being used as a base for attacks on Palestine and Turkey.

The principle of self-determination had made the Egyptians less ready to submit to British control, went on Professor Charteris. The presence of British soldiers in the barracks oppo-site the Parliament House in Cairo was resented by the Egyptians. Ac-cording to the agreement in effect at present, the British would guarantee and proclaim the complete independ-ence of Egypt as soon as they could agree on four specified points—among them the position of the Sudan. Al-though four conferences had taken place since 1922, agreement had not yet been reached. Under Sir Austen Chamberlain's arrangement, the num-ber and disposition of the English troops in Egypt had been left to the English Government. According to the present agreement only the num-ber was left to their discretion. They must keep a certain distance east of Cairo — in the Canal zone. This, however, could not be until the Egyptian Government made provision for their quartering in that zone.

SOCIAL CALENDAR A few days ago we heard that

Miss Lorna Hodge is engaged to Mr. Baine Dash. Lorna, as all graduates and undergraduates will remember, had a brilliant University career, and, at the termination of her Arts course, she joined the ranks of teachers. Baine, we hear, is a chemist, and is doing very well with his shop. We wish them both every happiness and congratulate Mr. Dash most heartily.

In the Union Withdrawing Room, on Wednesday last, the Evening Stu-dents' Association held another suc-cessful social. This time the men students were the hosts, thus return-ing the compliment to the women stu-dents, who had entertained them last term. Among those present were Miss C. Evans, President of the Wo-men's Even.ng Students' Association, Mr. A. F. Osborne, President of the Evening Students' Association, Mr. Ian Smith, Honorary Secretary, and Mr. J . Pascue, Treasurer.

Jolly Millers, Tap Dances, and Monte Carlos were the order of the evening, and served to stimulate the exi>rit de corps, which is growing up amongst the evening body of un-dergraduates. Mr. Osborne proved a most capable Master of Ceremonies, and everybody was sorry when eleven o'clock chined the end of the happy gathering.

Miss Kingdon, Matron of Wesley c..:.v rtained on Saturday

night last, the Master, Vice-Master, and students of the College. It was Wesley's "Open Night," the last fes-tive occasion of the year for hard-working undergrads. Seemingly the College students, recognising the omin-ous signs on the calendar, took the op-portunity to make the occasion a gay one—there was a feeling in the air—"Be merry, for to-morrow we die." Although the College regula-tions prohibit dancing, it was found that there were plenty of other ways young people can amuse themselves; in particular, bridge seemed to be popular. Most of the students ar-ranged themselves in parties and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves —chacun a son gout, as the saying goes. Supper was served in the Din-Ir.g Hall, where tables were laden with gorgeous flowers and sumptuous dishes. During that "ritual", Clif. Ahrens thanked the Matron on behalf of the students for the opportunity of allowing them to entertain their friends in College.

Noticed among the members of the fair sex present were: Winsome Durie, Nerida Cohen, Ermyn Brook-way. Gladwys Scollick. and Hilary-Lawrence.

Our triple "Blue." Alison Hatter-sley, has won further honours in the sphere of sport. A week or so ago. Alison and her partner. Mrs. War-burton. carried off the Cassidy Cup. in the Metropolitan Tennis Competi-tions. Congratulations have been showering in on the Hattersley men-age, especially as her brother, last week, won the Amateur Golf Cham-pionship of Australia. Now, Alison

| seems to be seeking further honours, for next Saturday she is playing in

' the Strathfield Tourney, and af ter that, the Willoughb.v Hard Courts Competitions begin. Although so de-voted to sport, last year Alison grad-uated in Arts, which just shows you that brains and muscle can be com-

I bined. "Honi Soit" wishes her the ] best of luck in forthcoming matches.

Another family which seems hound to bring honour to the University-are the Newton-Tabretts, of Roseville. Eileen recently graduated in Medi-cine, and to her goes the honour of being the first graduate whose mother was a M.B. before her. Zelnia. too, seems to be going to add fur ther glory to the family scroll, in the sphere of Economics, having, during her present course, carried off quite a number of honours. That she will graduate as a B.Ec.. very near the top of the list, seems quite without doubt.

Of the half-dozen women graduates in Medicine in 1930, three have been successful in obtaining second-class Honours, while Ruth Heighway ha: won the Dagmar Berne Prize for Proficiency among women students. Now hospital appointments have been made, and should any unfortu-nate students find themselves in need of stitches, operations or dressings, we should, quite without prejudice, of course, advise them to seek the near est route to "P.A.." because Willa Rowohl, Muriel Mcllrath, and Ruth Heighway have all been appointed there. Of course, the fair sex, would probably prefer Sydney Hospital, be-cause there you will find Bobby Drew Frank Flynn. and Doug. Anderson not to mention a number of other equally attractive males.

LITERARY LAPSES. Dear Sir,—As a motorist, I am

gravely concerned at the inadequate protection afforded to University stu-dents entering and leaving by the steps near Arundel Street. I crave space in your valuable journal to ex-press the need for something to be done.

The caution disc which is hung on the southern side of the road to slacken the speed of those who drive out from the city is, a t the best, only the thing which one sees every day, and, as is well known, the familiar is contemptible. Some, indeed, slacken speed to about 30 m.p.h., apparently-thinking students can dodge anything travelling up to that speed.

Furthermore, the safety zone is not proof against attack by cars. I have seen the very standard with the words on lying prone where someone had charged over it.

Now, sir, without referring in de-tail to the damage that has been done to students, it seems that anyone watching the traffic for any odd half-hour would see the necessity of mini-mising the chances of some unfortu-nate motorist hitting a more un-fortunate pedestrian student. The pedestrian cannot always be expected to remember that a fast motor cannot dodge or pull up with the same ease and facility as a person on foot. The motorist cannot always be expected to rag his nerves with close shaves and to wear out tyres and brakes pul-ling up suddenly, or to lose valuable-time by crawling for a quarter of a mile when time is money and money !

sion. It is a marvel to think that no one

has so fa r approached the University 1

authorities with the proposal that an overhead bridge be erected to allow of safe crossing. Surely this would only have to be brought to their notice and they would welcome the sugges-tion. The cost could be small and easily met by a few trifling economies.

The education of the adolescent is a very pressing problem and is al-ways in the forefront of educational thought. Great Britain is giving much attention to the question of raising the school-leaving age — in some quarters it has been suggested that such a step would minimise greatly the unemployment problem. At the recent annual conference of the teachers of the New South Wales high schools the old question of the value of the teaching of Latin in secondary schools was again dis-cussed. Several speakers advocated the replacement of the classics by-subjects such as Economics or Science, which have a more intimate connec-tion with modern life.

It is thus fitting that a book en-titled "Youth," dealing with the edu-cation and psychology of the adole-scent should be written. The author-ess, Olive Wheeler, D.Sc., Professor of Education in University College, Cardiff. has collected all the latest known facts of the psychology of adolescence, and has then proceeded to a discussion of what is possible and desirable in the education of the youth of the nation.

Though the references are to Eng-lish education they are pertinent to Australians, and in fact many of her suggestions have already been em-bodied in the secondary field in New £u-t.i Wales. The question is asked, "Does the existing provision of edu-cation for adoles.ents fit their know natures and needs? If not, what

modifications in organisation and me-thods will be necessary ?" Dr. Wheeler sets forth a good argument for her contention that the manual ar ts are not only paths to specific culture; but they are also paths to general culture and as such should be regarded as being intellectually re-spectable as languages and the higher mathematics. The ideal curriculum, according to the authoress, includes physical training; an art or a c ra f t ; nature study; literature; history and geography; social and religious edu-cation.

"CHEMISTRY IN DAILY LIFE."

Schemes have been propounded to revive our coal industry by the estab-lishment of plants to obtain and utilise the valuable substances now-allowed to pollute the atmosphere in the form of smoke. Many people are concerned about the provision of suit-able petrol substitutes for use when the world's supply of oil is exhausted. What is the future of our wool in-dustry in this age when synthetic silks are daily displacing the product of one of our most important prim-ary industries ? Not a week passes without the appearance in our daily papers of articles stressing the im-portance of the study of vitamins. These few random observations illus-trate the immense importance of chemistry in our daily life.

For the general reader who seeks enlightenment on these and other topi-cal problems. Dr. Glasstone of Shef-field University has recently pub-lished the substance of a recent course of Extension Lectures on "Chemistry in Daily Life." In addition to the topics already mentioned, the author has contributed interesting discussions of practically all branches of chemis-try which influence our earthly exist-ence and comfort. The treatment generally follows historical lines so that the reader may trace the devel-opment of chemistry and realise the immense possibilities of the future.

On Saturday. September 20. a match was played between a Univer-sity team ar.c a team drawn from the pupils of G. P. Lar.e. official coach to the X.S.W.L.T.A. The University team, consisting of R. A. Stewart. B. Sandstrom. R. E. Wherrett and F. J. Richards, recorded a comfortable win by 7 sets to 1.

Jack 5pence was runner-up in the StrathSeld Captaincy, losing to H. McCauslar.d ;n the fifth set. It was a fine performance to reach the final and Spence should prove a very valu-able member of the Club during the next few years.

Altogether, prospects for next year are very bright, and the Club should be strongly represented ir. Adelaide next Easter.

HERMES! ATHLETIC PROJECT

NEW IDEA

Favorable discussion has followed on the announcement that Graduate and Undergraduate track men are likely to be afforded the opportunity of com-peting side by side in extra-Univer-sity competitions in the future.

Provision for this welcome exten-sion of the Athletic Club's activities, has been incorporated in a scheme, which will be submitted to the Sports Union at its monthly meeting, to b«r held on Monday. October 13.

Any project, which provides for a definite liaison between Graduates and Undergraduates of this Univer-sity. must have the fullest support and co-operation of all who are pre-pared to believe, and prove i < that they have the best interests of the University at heart.

It is an experience common to all. that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and there :s conclusive proof to offer, to support the conten-tion. that University track prestige ;s suffering as a resalt of losses sus-tained annually, by the defection of Graduate track ar.d field stars. The

B. Baxter. Ironheart goal-thrower, was at times brilliant, but her assist-ant, M. Norris. was unfortunate in that many of her shots hit the ring and bounced out.

Half-time scores were 11 to 9 in Ironhearts* favor.

Ironhearts had 31 attempts at goal, and University 15.

In the fourth period, both teams gained seven attempts at goal. Uni-versity converting three and Iron-hearts two.

In the fifth period, the students brought play into the scoring circle four times, from which they scored two goals.

R. C. Smith, the University sprin-ter, won the two sprinting events, the 100 and 220 yards. He scored in the latter event pulling up. but was closely pressed in the 100 yards by G. Dick, the Scots College champion, who finished a yard behind him af ter a great race to the tape.

The best contested event of the af-ternoon was the §»0 yards challenge, which J . H. Broadbent. the University champion, won by a foot from A. J . Murray. The Scots College and Great Public Schools champion. Murray's performance for a schoolboy was dis-tinctly high-class, and his great ran against Broadbent augurs well for his success in the G'eat Public Schools distance events. In the last event o f , the programme. Murray was again te the fore. and. in defeating K. Jones • University* in the first division of :he 440 yards, registered the only win of the day for the school.

VALUABLE WORK BY CHRISTIAN UNION

ANNUAL MEETING.

"The year has been generally a good one." said Mr. W. W. F. Pratt, retiring President at the Annual meeting of the Christian Union. -The indications are that membership of ar.d adherence to the Union are at least as strong as in recent years, ar.c apparently rather stronger.

Continuing his report. Mr. Pratt said that the C.U. had come to take a more distinctive part in University life. This was one of the most pleas-ing aspects of the work at the pre-sent time. Outlining the year's acti-vities. he said that on the side of Social Service the work of the- Men's C.U. had become well established ar.c was developing strongly. So f a r the work had been concentrated upon a boys' club, at the University Women's Settlement, under the direction of Mr. George Campbell. About 35 had

attended the men's conference at Kil-lara. while 1 j men went to the Sum-mer Conference at Mittagong. "We hope." he continued, "that a much stronger delegation will go to what promises to be an exceptionally good conference at Wendouree."

Mr. Pratt prescribed more hard work for the executive in preparing for the presessional conference. Tutorials had been very useful. It was for members of the University to make them more useful by attending in greater numbers. The staff had helped considerably in making the year an exceptionally good one as re-gards midday addresses, which were well attended.

At the conclusion of his report, the President relinquished his position, handing over the burdens of office to "Sammy" Ahrens. The r.ew Presi-dent declared himself ready to carry on the good work and asked for the enthusiastic co-operation of members.

W. A. Wood and W. H. Nield were declared elected as Secretary and Treasurer respectively.

way into the other major club ranks, thus introduces another important factor, which tends, inevitably, to "ower the general athletic standard. The absence of ex-University run-ners. jumpers, hurdlers and field-ga~.esr.-.e- from competitions, must i induce a slump in the competitive as-pects of the big events conducted by the Amateur Athletic Association.

The University is the acknowledged academic leader, and beyond question the University, too. should lead the way ir. the sphere of sport, especially as there is a demonstrable relation-ship between science and sport. It

TRICKY CONDITIONS 'Vanity Marksmen

Active Grade Shoot

'Varsity riflemen competed in the final stage of the Southern and West-ern A Grade Competition at Anzac Rarge. Liverpool, on Saturday.

A tricky wind militated against good shooting. Nevertheless, both University teams gave a good account of themselves.

Skipper E. A. Molesworth had a day out. scoring 66 points out of a :

possible 70. Mai. Edwards put on a creditable 64 while N. Ba'tbage and R. Ward each recorded S3.

The conditions were teams of seven men (six to count' to fire 14 shots, and two optional sighters from the 600 yards mound.

L siversity A.—M. L. Edwards 64: N. Ba'rbige 6?: R. priddle 61: R. E. Churchward o>: L. Moulton 57: R. G. Conley 55. Total. S5».

University B—E. A. Molesworth 66: R. Ward 55: C. Moulton 60: R. Sccb:e 06: G. Needham 53: M. Allen >2. Total. 350.

With the approach of the end of the season, the standard of the new mem--*rs of the club, as indicated ir. the grade matches, is particularly high.

The selection committee will be faced w-.th a difficult task when it comes to choose the Inter-"Yars.tv team. fcr Perth.
