REWARDING EDUCATORS
The repents of the University of
Michigan recently voted to increase
the salary of President Burton from
$18,000 to $24,000 a year. News
papers throughout that part of the
country hailed this action of the gov
erninp board of the University as a
step forward and a mark of progress.
" The University of Michigan is a
great and famous institution and its
President must be one of the educa
tional leaders of the country. It is
no more than just that he be paid
accordingly." Thus the Detroit News
commented on the increase.
The tendency in the last few years
to raise the salaries paid educators
is evidenced in many ways. Profes
sors and teachers have appreciated
the increases that have already come
to them, and the standards of the
profession have been raised. But
the scale is not yet high enough, and
the reward of learning is not yet
what it should be.
Educators should be rewarded for
the time they have to spend to pre
pare themselves for their work. Of
course, they probably will never be
paid proportionately to the time
spent in preparation, but the present
wage is much too low.
The wisdom and foresight of the
regents of the University of Michigan
will be proved in the next decade.
That institution cannot help but
forge ahead and prosper. They also
offer an example to other universities.
THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF CRIB
BING. Cheating and cribbing are sins
commonly laid entirely against stu
dents, and it is an admitted fact that
both exist on our campus. Some of
the responsibility for wrongdoing be
longs, however, to instructors.
Why is it that dishonesty is ram
pant in some classes and departments
and does not occur at all in others?
Why is it that some students who
cheat under one professor never
think of doing it in the class of
another ? Obviously the personality
and attitude of the professor is an
influence in the conduct of the mem
bers of his class.
One professor is quoted as saying
that any student who does not obtain
help in examinations if he has the
opportunity is a fool. He is obliged
to police his classes during every
quiz.
Assignments are occasionally given
in some departments which the in
structors must know are not honestly
carried out by all the members of the
class. Such are required history
readings where credit is given for the
number of pages read weekly. It is
the practice of many students to re
port readings which they have never
done, and they receive as much credit
as those students whose reports are
honest. It would be a step toward
justice and honesty to abolish these
reports and let the credit be given to
students who show a gain in knowl
edge.
Crowded conditions in classrooms
are also responsible for a share of
the present cheating. The example
of some professors who are consider
ate enough of the moral and physical
well-being of their classes as to ar
range for them to sit in alternate
rows is to be commended.
Dishonesty is a problem in which
the faculty has a share as well as
the students and it can be eradicated
only when both join forces to remove
the possibilities and the tempetations
for its practice,

to her that her husband might return at any time. She turned hurriedly
and glanced at tho clock 5:30. He never came before 6. She could risk
a moment more. Again the soft murmur of a kiss and quiet words of
love broke the stillness of the room. "You are mine, dear, and no one shall
ever take you from me." The woman's words rang with sincerity that
is born of unfaltering love. There was a sound ol steps in me nan ana mc

It was her husband. A look of guilt came into nor iace. un wonn, one

A SHORT STORY AND IT'S NOT NOVEL.
Dear dad:
Ae T rtnvA rtntliino rise to do this afternoon I will write you a short
line. I am well and hope that everyone at home is. Say dad, I would
like to have my check a little early this month. With examinations only
a few weeks away I'll have some extra expense in Duying examination
paper and ink. The last quarter I got only an 85 in my Spanish and 88
trod to p-et an F and two C's in my other three courses,
so you can see the kind of work I am doing. If at all possible I wish you
would make the check for about ten more than usual. You see, some
of the fellows are going to buy the teacher a present ana i warn io neip
them out. We may give a party too. I hope business has been good with
you.

a larger room and as I have so many books and pennants and things, I need
the extra space. The new room Is on the tilth lloor ot tne same Duuaing
where I have been staying and is quite a little higher than the room I had
on the third floor, so my check may not last me as long as usual.

ity on pedagogy, but since he is one
of the principals and in fact the
main subject on whom experiments
in pedagogy are performed, and for
whose benefit the teaching profession
is maintained, he may at times have
interesting, even though not valuable,
ideas about the matter. His ideas
are at least formed first hand.
One of these ideas is that some
thing must first be put into the heads
of the students before it can be taken
out again in the form of examination
answers.
Another is that a professor is more
valuable when he lectures on and ex
plains a subject in which he is recog
nized as a master, than when he
occupies the time in quizzes, tests,
and examinations.
And a third is that the student
learns more from the lectures than
he does from the exams, not meaning
that tests do not have a place for the
purpose of weeding out the unfit, and
as a basis for giving grades toward
a degree, but that a sense of propor
tion should be maintained.
The inspiration for these opinions
is found in a certain three-hour
science course in which the twelve
hours a month are divided in the fol
lowing interesting fashion: one hour
a week quizz section, four hours a
month; one hour monthly examina
tion; and in addition a one-fourth
or one-half hour special test during
the week, amounting to one or two
more hours for the month, a grand
total of six or seven hours quizzing,
testing, and examining based on six
or seven hours of actual lecturing.
