MASKS AS FRATERNITY.
"Masquerading under a Greek let
ter disguise, the Ku Klux Klan has
been incorporated as Alpha Pi Sigma,
according to records of the Klan
which have been brought to the
knowledge of state officials," begins
the lead story in the New York
World for December 15.
"KLAN INCORPORATED
AS A GREEK-LETTER
SOCIETY MASKED AS
COLLEGE FRATERNITY"
This is the two column head which
precedes the article.
In the articles of incorporation, as
published in the World, there are
only two things that can in any way
be construed as referring to a college
fraternity. Those two implications
are the name itself, Alpha Pi Sigma,
and a statement that the object of
the organization is, among others, "to
have, use and enjoy all the rights,
privileges and powers which are used,
exercised and enjoyed by what are
known as Greek-letter fraternities,
and societies. ..."
No reference to scholarship, educa
tion, or anything of that nature is
made in the certificate of incorpora
tion, as published by the World. Yet
everyone seems' to have jumped to
the conclusion that the organization
was a college fraternity. The World
article runs:
"Supreme Court Justice Guy, at
his home yesterday, expressed indig
nation when told what had been
learned about Alpha Pi Sigma. He
said he naturally thought when he
approved the papers of incorporation
that they were for a college frater
nity. "Robert L. Noah, Lawyer of No.
1482 Broadway, drew up the the
papers. At his home at No. 160
Sherman Avenue, he said his under
standing was the Alpha Pi Sigma
was to be a general fraternity to
which college men who Belonged to
any fraternity would be eligible. He
thought it would be limited to such
men. His attention was called to
the wording of the papers that "both
sexes' would be eligible. He said he
had forgotten that"
If the World's solution of the mys
tery is correct, it seems that the
Klan has attempted to hide its activi
ties in assuming the guise of a type
of organization that is unquestioned.
This is hardly a brave, honorable,
and truly American action such as
would be expected from an organiza
tion that claims to be working for the
best interests of the nation. Frater
nities in general, and therefore uni
versities in general, were to be made
the shield of a distinctly un-American
organization the Ku Klux Klan.
The New York state officials are
by no means blameless. They permit
ted a flimsy apeing of a college fra-i
ternity to pass with them as the gen-j
uine article. If men in public life I
wish to advance the cause of higher!
education, they must be more careful !
than they were in this case. Theyj
must intelligently consider matters
having to do with universities before
passing upon them.
tablish a department to train stu
dents in the art of bareback riding
and vaulting and flying through the
air on a trapeze?'
It seems to have got into our
heads that in some mysterious way
education is vitally related to foot
ball, to large student bodies, and to
costly buildings. The other day the
papers announced that an eastern
university in a city which for certain
reasons I will not name, was about to
erect a building fifty-two stories
high that would cost $10,000,000.
That's educaion with a bang!
"Education means more than a fifty-two
story building or a stadium, or
a big endowment. Educaton involves
great teachers and high ideals and
earnes study and thoughtful young
men and women."
of these definitions and lawa anr
principles they will never see or ust
or think of again, and so they arr
hanny. Dean Le Rossignol's little
book will not be popular in this way
for its bone dry content is not great
and its "dressing weight" should be
high.

HOMES AT MEETING
(Continued from Page One.)
ECONOMICS BOOK IS
REVIEWED FAVORABLY
(Continued From Page One.)
The social point of view is main
tained throughout. There are no ex
tended descriptions of bank state
ments, of business organization and
finance, or of other questions in busi
ness economics; while on the other
hand a surprising number of ques
tions of social significance are
brought up for discussion. The con
clusions on these questions are mark
ed by caution and shrewd common
sense.
Although this book is not intended
primarily for use as a text, it should
be used widely in colleges, and per
haps to some extent even in high
schools. For students in business ad
ministration it seems to the reviewer
to be one of the best elementary texts
available. It treats only briefly the
questions in business economics which
such students must take up in later
courses, and thus avoids some of the
duplication that most textbooks in
volve. Furthermore, most students
in business administration need an
early exposure to the social point of
view, and Economics for Everyman
should give this well. In some ways,
even the small size of the book might
prove an advantage, because it would
permit a wide use of collateral readings.
In expecting satisfactory use of
this book as a text, the reviewer
wishes to distinguish carefully be
tween texts that are merely popular
and teachable and those which are
really instructive. Some texts seem
to be fairly popular largely because
they cover in black type or in italics
some of the "ma-'n points," defini
tions, laws and "fundamental prin
ciples" which the students can learn
and thus get the "fundamentals" of
the science.
Freshmen and sophomores are in
no position to know that a fair share

SUMMARIZED CRITICISM.
The criticism of modern education
al institutions that has been growing
by leaps and bounds of late was sum
marized and presented in an address
to the Presbyterian national confer
ence recently by Dr. Edgar P. Hill
of Philadelphia, secretary of educa
tional institutions. The Boston Trans
cript reports Dr. Hill's address at
some length:
Our educational institutions are
crowded to the doors and in some
cases more students are refused ad
mission than are matriculated. But
right alongside of this devotion to
the cause of education is found an in
creasing suspicion of the value of
the whole educational program as it
is now being carried out. There is a
feeling that with all our elaborate
equipment the student are not be
ing educated. We are missing the
mark. We are la motion and there
U plenty of excitement and jazz mu
sic, but we are getting nowhere.
