"INVADING THE HOME."
In a letter read before the Senti
nels of the Republic at a meeting in
Philadelphia recently, Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Colum
bia University, opposes the proposed
child labor amendment to the feder
al constitution because "burely no
true friend of childhood can wish to
support a measure which will make
possible the substitution of Congres
sional control of childhood and youth
for the natural relationship of p ir
ent and guardian."
Dr. Butler's phrases remind one
surprisingly of his recent tirades
agajnst the Eighteenth amendment.
In fact, he classes the two amend
ments together with:
"A beginning was made when the
Eighteenth amendment was proposed
and ratified. This amendment is ob
jectionable and repugnant to Amer
ican principles because it violently
inserts positive legislation into a doc
ument whose sole purpose it is to es
tablish a framework of government,
to set out the limitations of that gor
ernment and to describe the function
of its several parts."
We do not presume to dispute with
Dr. Butler wheher either of these
amendments is within the originally
intended scope of the constitution,
but it surely is in harmony with the
constitution to make uniform laws
whenever that is practicable.
More of Dr. Butler's resentment at
anyone's trying to limit "rights" ap
pears in the letter:
"Child labor is an abuse; child
labor is almost everywhere disappear
ing; it will wholly disappear if con
stant appeal be made to local opinion
and local sentiment where child labor
still exists as a result either 'of greed
or of indifference. There is no pos
sible excuse for the ratification of
this amendment, with all the evils
which it is certain to bring in its
train, when that which it aims to ac
complish can be done far more effect
ively and far more quickly by other
and truly American methods."
He admits that child labor is an
abuse, just as he would probably ad
mit that extreme drunkenness is an
abuse, and he wishes to do away with
that abuse by appealing to sentiment.
If we apply his argument rigidly, it
might be said that the best way to
cope with criminals is to appeal to
the "local sentiment" in places where
criminals are thickest; that should be
a better way of protecting society
than passing positive legislation
which would invade the rights of a
man to shape his life as he wishes.
And Dr. Butler would, because
there is a possibility of a body of rep
resentative legislators abusing in
some ur.'orseen way a small addition
to its power, prevent the speeding
up of any forward movement toward
doing away with child labor.
cal training in the middle schools and
adds:
"Our students have instinctively
rcbellod against routine education.
The rebellion is still going on.
"Our army is not content with the
role of being prepared for war in the
technical sense. Since school
education, despite its bureaucratic
traditions, has been the hotbed of
liberalism and even of radicalism,
the army hs long had its eyes on in
fluencing educational ideas. It has
now actually fastened its hands on it.
The effect can be anything but salu
tary for liberal education."
Characterized as "one of the most
vicious features," is that part of the
plan which places appointment of ac
tive army, officers to be in charge of
the military training, under th au
thority of the minister of war rather
than the minister of education.
These officers cannot be removed by
complaint from the school authorities
but only if the war department de
cides the charges are well grounded.
To this the military replies that
the reason for placing officers from
active service in charge of the train
ing is because they are more effici
cnt than retired officers and better
versed in military science.
THE JAPANESE PLAN.
The Japanese plan for the intro
duction of military training into
schools for children of twelve and
thirteen and over is meeting consid
erable opposition from the liberals
of the empire and from the Japanese
press. The dispute is interesting in
that the Japanese plan is said to
parallel the R. O. T. C. of the United
States. There are evidently some de
partures from the American plan,
however, and the divided opinion
upon these, as well as upon the gen
eral question, has induced the liber
als and the army to use vigorous lan'
guage. The plan is not to go into
actual operation until April, and the
progress of the arguments is worth
following.
Maj. Gen. Eitaro Hata, of the de
partment of war, is quoted in the
daily press as charging that attacks
on the introduction of military train-
A NEW RULE.
"By a vote of conference members
all schools in the Valley have to play
at least six conference games. Kan
sas has exceeded that number, lining
up eight contests with schools in the
Valley," reads a paragraph in the
Columbia Missourian for December 8
Nebraska representatives at the
conference meeting know nothing of
such a rule; one of them said it must
have been passed while he was out
of the room, if it was passed. Ne
braska's schedule for 1925 carries
but five conference games.

INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTAND
ING AND PEACE.
As time goes on and statesmen
continue their efforts to attain the
ideal of World Peace, amid confer
ences, disarmament agreements, com
mercial treaties and boundary settle
ments, the importance of our Ameri
can universities as a means of fur
thering international understanding,
will come to be realized more and
more.
The United States has become, of
late years, a Mecca of education.
Each year, several hundred foreign
students arrive here, while others de
part for their native lands well
grounded in the fundamentals of
American life and culture. During
their stay among us, they come to
understand our point of view as a
nation, and as they leave, taking our
customs and ideas to the four corners
of the earth, they carry with them
good will and a respect for the Amer
ican people.
But the contribution toward world
peace found in this contact of for
eign students with American univer
sities is not alone the wholesome
effect upon our visitors. Tantamount
to the understandings they acquire of
our ways and customs is the broaden
ing influence our acquaintance with
them has upon us. It is true that
American college students are char
acterized by a complaisancy that pre
vents them from getting all they
might from contact with students
from other lands, but few of us, even
the most self-satisfied, can spend
four years at this University without
numbering among our friends and ac
quaintances at least a few fellow
students whose language, customs,
and blood are different from our
own. And every such contact teaches
us to forget the narrower prejudices
of nationality and to look with sym
pathetic understanding upon those
whom we formerly viewed with in
tolerance. Distrust and suspicion give
way to appreciation and good will,
which is the road toward peace.
Speaking of Japan at a time when
feeling between that country and our
own was tense, David Starr Jordan
once declared, "The two thousand
Japanese alumni of American univer
sities are our best assurance of the
maintenance of friendly relations be
tween the two countries. They un
derstand our point of view. And they
cannot be swayed by prejudice or the
yellow press."
Japan, however, is but one country
among many. Our University alone
has an enrollment of 584 foreign stu
dents representing 44 different coun
tries.
It is in fact an intellectual melting
pot, where ideas are shared, ac
quaintances are made, and a founds
tion is laid for that most necessary
element of a lasting World Peace

Worth looking into
IT'S the most interesting study in the world.
What is? Why you, yourself.
Put yourself under the microscope. Examine
yourself most searchingly to find out just what
kind of work you have a natural aptitude for.
Don't leave your career to chance. Don't be
satisfied with any nonchalant observation of
what may seem to be your best field.
Upperclassmen who have applied this careful
self-study will tell you it helped them pick out
the "major" which fell in most closely with
their natural fitness. The result greater in

college course.
Graduates will tell you that the man who
turns the microscope on himself is happiest in
his choice of a life-work.
