If the Observer is more far-sighted than he now

appears to be, he would realize that some inexpensive

curtailing of Japan's activities today will save a lot

of trouble in the next decade.. Wise men buy when

the market is low, for purely selfish reasons, and

do not wait until the prices become exorbitantly

high; and wise men can tell that prices are rising.

This notion seems to be a unanimous one among the

able statesmen such as Roosevelt, Stimson, Cecil, etc.

average citizen.

old fashioned, where nations can extend their terri-

tories by occasional invasions, and man gets his wife

by clubbing a woman of his liking and dragging her

home. But the truth is that the world is a modern

one, and those old traditions do not hold any more.

We now realize the importance of international law

and treaties, just as much as the laws of a com-

munity had good reasons to legislate them. ForINSTRUCTION AT TECHNOLOGYIS IT GOOD ENOUGH?

TUDENTS have frequently complainedS about their instruction in many coursesat the Institute -that the instr uctor failed topresent the subject clearly, that he didn'tseem to understand students' difficulties, thathe cared little about his instructing duties.These complaints, however, are not unfound-ed "gripes," as one might suspect; they hasvea real basis in fact.

Most of the conmplaints seem to arise fromcourses which teach fundamental theory, par-ticularly those given in the first two years,but also from others. Training in the firsttwo years is admittedly basic, and prerequisitefor later work. Yet too often students passtheir examinations in physics, calculus, andchemistry without a real understanding ofthe subject as a whole and of its fundamen-tal principles.

Where does the fault lie? In a few cases,partly in the text and the arrangement ofthe course. But in most cases, it lies in theinability if the ,inslructor to present the

essentials of the subject clearly anid withoutsubmerging them in the details, and in hisinability to visualize the difficulties whichtrouble students. The quality of the Insti-tute's instruction, although good on the aver-age, is well below what it should and could be.Technology's position in research is outstand-ing, in instruction it is not as high. The mostimportant step in improving it is to pay moreattention to the teaching qualifications of themen who are going to instruct students infundamentals.

the same reason, only on a larger scale, the nations

must follow their laws and treaties. If a bandit sets

a house on fire in order to loot, it would be unwise

if the neighbors fail to put out the fire and chase

the bandit, but it would be silly if the neighbors

do not even dare to express their sympathy to the

victims and to nurse the wounded. Sooner or later,the fire will spread.

Besides, the relief is for China, because the Chi-

nese happen to be the victim not because Japan is

the aggressor. If the situation is the other way

around, the funds will go to Japan. So, this is

really a false alarm.

-Another Graduate.

Editor, The Tech:

Mr. "A Graduate" in his letter to the last issue of

the Tech voiced a stern warning to "regrettable en-

tanglements" that might result in the American's

relief for the Chinese war refugees. His sincere

conviction, evidently rising out through pure patriot-

ism, is indeed worthy of respect. Nevertheless, may

I, just for the sake of a friendly discussion, bring

OF

Class and social dancing with orchestra I

up a few points which seem to have escaped his

attention.

First of all, it appears to me that the primarypurpose ltor such relief is entirely a humane one. W7egivre to help, like a good Samaritan, as we cannotbear to see the terrible suffering of such a vast massof God's children. As to whom we are helping,whether Japanese, Chinese or Chilean, or as to whatcauses such suffering, whether famine, war, or earth-quake, it should be of nittle concern. To help thesuffering Chinese non-combatants does not at all re-flect on the conduct of the Japanese militarists,unless their own guilty conscience wants to interpretit that way!

Secondly, he reasoned that, since the Americansthemselves once conquered the American Indians and

the Cubans, they have now no right to condemnothers who are doing just the same thing. In otherwords, a reformed should never be allowed as areformer. And we must accept with resignat ion anyill-deeds, that bear some resemblenee to what ourearly forefathers once did, by a few bandit-like

nations among a vast majority of peace-loving ones.Finally, he did not approve t he applauding of

the theatre audiences of the gallant though meagerair defense the Chines e put up agains t the Japaneseplanes in bosbing women and children, and further

pointed out any anti-Japanese feeling as incorrect.But he did no t go a step further to find out why

such a feeli ng shou ld expist at all. Th e Japanesesatisfact orily explain this by saying that the Chiesepropaganda has been more effective. Wrhy is that so ?Because the Chinese are able to show the actual pic-tures of Japanese bombing and machine-gunning oftheir po or innocent non-combatants, and the Japanesecannot! The Chinese are fighting against the Japa-nese armies, not their civilians, while the Japaneseare fighting, in a most indiscriminate way, -theChinese armies as well as civilians.

Despite all their -propagandas, threats, -and actualcampaigns, the war-like nations have succeeded inall but one thing, that is, the conquering of thesense of justice among the world population at large.This is the last moral stronghold we have and thisstronghold we must never abandon--if any 'hope forthe final restoration of international tranquility andpeace is to exist at all.

SENIOR HOUSESHOULD BE ORGANIZED

LANE OF THE BEST suggestions that hasbeen advanced in connection with the

enlarged dormitory facilities is the plan fora Senior House, similar in organization to thepresent Graduate House.

The Senior House is a good idea for thesame reason that the Graduate House hasbeen so successful--because it would bringtogether men of different interests but equiva-lent intellectual outlook. Underclassmen ingeneral are less mature, and tend to be lessserious; they would gain no advantage frombeing housed by classes. But seniors, evenwith the present arrangement, tend to asso-ciate mostly with one another, for the reasonalready mentioned.-

With fourth- and fifth-year Architecturestudents wanting to live on this side of theriver next year, there should be no difficultyin filling the present graduate dor mitoeresBath seniors. And if a few vacancies shouldexist, they could be filled -by Juniors selectedby the House Master. The Institute will makea valuable contribution to undergraduate lifeif it inaugurates this plan.

Yours very 'humbly,, -Wellington I. T..Sun, '38.

Y-D Club Of Boston DefeatedBy Tech In Close Match

Technology's rifle team got off toa good start last Friday, when theywon their first match of the season.

Rain and snow Saturday didn't stop the freshmen from keepingup with the winning precedent they seemed to have started thisyear; they made their win over the sophs in the interclass trackmeet quite decisive. ... Frosh John Nagle was the mainstay ofhis class totaling 16 point sand nosing out the more experiencedupperclassmen by taking two firsts in the field events. Severalother men including Booth '41, Crosby '40, and DesSardins '38came through, with good performances to make this meet one ofthe best interclass meets, considering the bad conditions; Oscar wasvery pleased.... Sophomores missed Wirth, last year's frosh star.

Then hewould go aloft to act as watcher.

A watcher on the fishing boat mustlook for swordfish which are caughtwhile napping on the water.- Small'swatch lasted from four in the morn-ing until evening, except for a fewminutes for dinner at 10 in the morn-ing. Evening on the ship was usuallyspent in spilling yarns about fishingand women.
