Even such a cursory acquaintance
with the students of Scandinavia as
has recently been my privilege to
get will establish the fact that in one
respect at least the American stuaein
lmdv Is not living up to Us possiblll
ties. Why Is It that our students do
not exert, or care to exert, the Bauie
degree of Influence upon American
politics as the students of Europe do
upon theirs? Should the blame rest
upon American politics, upon the stu
dent body Itself, or upon the educa
tional system? Something makes
strangers of the students and the
state.
Forty-two students accompanied the
Henry Ford peace expedition. The
American public wondered why. They
had never heard of students dolus
anything in the interest of peace be
cause the students never had. To be
sure some had read Norman Angel's
"Great Illusion" or "The History of
the Hague Peace Tribunals." or the
troubles of Finland or Poland. Some
had even taken advantage, all ex
penses paid, of attending the Ithaca
peace conference, but they had never
looked upon themselves as workers
in the real world. They regarded
themselves and were regarded ar
"students," with the sting of impo-
tentiality and aloofness which that
implies In the United States. Turn
page after page of the history' of the
United States. Like the sons of the
rich, where are the students? Have
they ever, as students, exerted a con
certed Influence upon our national
policy, not to mention exerting a con
tinued Influence?
On the other nand, have they ever
been appealed to in a way which
would create an interest?
Forty-two students with the Henry
Ford peace expedition landed on the
shores of Norway. The Norwegian
public did not wonder why. To them
the term "student" implied not im
potentiality, not aloofness, but stu
dious interest in the workings of
state, thorough knowledge of affairs
past and present, and intelligent ef
forts to assist in civic and national
matters.
The implication, moreover, was not
without warrant. The Students' as
sociation of Norway was the first or
ganization to greet the expedition.
Under its auspices the first meeting
was held. Its members arranged in
terviews, acted as interpreters and
guides, gave all the historical and po
litical information needed offhand,
MAX G. TOWLE
A graduate of the Law college in the
year 1914, announces that he is a can
didate for the office of Justice of the
Peace upon the Republican ticket at
the April 18th primaries.
It is desired that all students of
voting age having resided in the state
six months, county forty days, and
the precinct ten days, register at the
City hall any day before April 8th
and then get out and support Max
for this office. Adv.
as If It were the multiplication table
All thia without being asked. It was
spontaneous, but it did not surprise
th Norwegians. It was the usual
thing.
The government, for Its part keeps
a jealous eye on the student body
This is their recognized source of
statesmen, politicians and diplomats
The president of this same students
association is already known to all
Norway as "our future prime minis
ter." Imagine the president of the
Michigan union, whoever he may be,
being haled In his undergraduate days
as "our future secretary of state."
So apparent was this difference of
relationship between student and
state and so much in the favor of
our Scandinavian cousins that one of
our number, a Texas Btudent, has re
mained abroad to study the proposi
tion. Two things he has already found
to be spurs to a more vital Interest
in governmental policy. One is a
thorough grasp of geography as a
foundation for history. The Ameri
can kiddie of 13 years Is "through
jawgerfy." The second is the univer
sal study of foreign languages as an
avenue to the understanding of the
national consciousness of other peo
ples. To enter the universities of
Scandinavia one must be able to read
and write German and English and to
speak one or the other. And we, for
the most part, begin or- study of
languages after we enter.
Perhaps the work of our Texas
student will so illuminate the nature
of American politics or the nature of
our students that they will share the
blame with our primary and second
ary educational system.
