The idea of the male

"How cun we build a swimming pool, when
we do not have enough funds to finish the
stadium!"
Wc fan think of only ono method of hand
ling sueh a situation. Tht is to nit down and
figure out how to get enough eash for sueh a
project.
Did the athletic department ever attempt
sueli a scheme? It is really (uite evident that
it will work. Tor instance, the stadium is now
standing, and has been for a number or years.
The department had no funds for that project,
either, but they did sit down and puzzle over
ways and means of getting them.
After methods oE getting the cash had been
discussed, some of them were put into prac
tice. Results were gratifying. The stadium was
built.
After methods of getting cash for 11 pool
shall have been discussed, and put into prac
tice, there is no reason to believe results will
be any different from those of t lie stadium
drive. The pool would be built.

"Unemployment cannot be solved
In a minute," stated Dr. Hattie P,
Williams, professor of sociology,
when she . was Interviewed con
cerning the Industrial conference
to be held on the campus on Feb.
27, 28. and March 1. "No one ex
pects thirty men with families de
pendent upon them to be given
employment the day that the con
ference is over. But it is impos
sible to imagine what great re
sults will ultimately come from
this student conference, and otlv
ers, in which the young people of
the country are learning the fun
damental principles of unemploy
ment.
"Unemployment is as real and
permanent a problem as sickness
and should be handled in as scion
tific a manner. Just as there are
clinics to keep a community
healthy and combat disease, there
should be employment bureaus to
comoat unemployment."
Hertzler Speaks.
Dr. J. O. -Hertzler, professor of
sociology, expressed a similar
opinion. "I firmly believe that in
this conference Powers Hapgood
and Karl Bowers will present to
the students the fundamental cor
rectives of the unemployment
problem and not just the tempo
rary alleviative methods. 'And
after all, the vital problem Is not
to discuss the present situation,
but to look ahead and prepare for
the next business depression. This
is the most appropriate year for
such a conference."
If this conference starts a few
serious minded people thinking it
will be a good thing, according to
Mr. C. O. Swayzee, assistant pro
fessor of personnel management.
"Of course one conference cannot
solve the unemployment problem,
but it will tend to waken people
from the economic pessimism
which comes, not from thinking,
but from inertia,' he said. "Powers

That the Watcher seems to have conceived

are (hting the. best they can to secure the elec

honorary are seeking to secure the election of
a representative Queen. He says that is the

the three Hapgood brothers in
herited the canning factory, and
since that time they have turned
it into the most democratic estab
lishment of its kind. Here are the
cardinal points of their organiza
tion: Trustees Hold Stock.
The stock of the company, by
1932, will be in the hands of trus
tees, named by the workers, and
held for the common good of the
workers.
The basis of wages is the needs
of the worker, not his efficiency.
The rate of wages is fixed by
the workers, and differs with
human conditions.
Advancement carries no increase
in pay.
Every worker holds his place
until charged by the council of his
fellow workers.
There is a sinking fund to take
care of pensions for the aged and
to pay hospital expenses of the
workers.
So by paying the workers by
the week and retaining them by
the year, and having thorn dis
charged only by the vote of their
fellow workers, the Columbia Con
serve company has abolished the
fear of unemployment. And the
man who put that form of an or
ganization on a paying basis Is

Here's an incident that deserves more ihau
passing notice.
Kcecrilly a iolinist of note and acknowl
edged skill, Jacques Gordon, playing on a 300-ycar-old
Stradivarius violin, before a packed
house in Koston, received the enthusiastic
plaudits of his auditors.
A day or two later he tried an experiment.
Disguised as an old man, ho wandered along
the streets of the classic city, playing on the
same priceless instrument, the identical num
bers which he had used in the concert.
Did he get the plaudits of admiring
throngs? He did not. Even some of his fash
ionable audience, of a few days previous heard
him without recognition. After he had gone
through the same program on the same violiiie
the same artist had received in his cup the
sum of $1.27 which he gave to charity.

Unheralded, the artistry of the violinist and
the unique worth of the instrument alike went
unrecognized. The American people are not
exactly expert critics either of musicianship or
the value of musical instruments.
Possibly it might be noted, also, that in
these days publicity is necessary to get a hear
ing for any person or a proper estimate of any
object. The concert and the Stradivarius and
the artist were advertised. The street perform
ance wasn't.

KWALWASSER REPORT

AROUSES DISCUSSION
Professor Believes Talent
Is Not Related To
Intelligence.
SYRACUSE. The startling
statement, made by ur. jacoo
Kwalwasser in recent issues of the
"Music Supervisor Journal and
the "Music Forecast" to the ef
fect that music Is decidedly not a
mind trainer, has aroused mucn
heated discussion among music ex
perts and educators. The long
standing claim that music study
improves the quality of one's men
tal aptness for factual knowledge
is attacked in the article.
Professor Kwalwasser states
that "music study may make one
more proficient musically, but it is
perfectly fatuous to believe that it
will change one's mental charac
teristics in other types of mental
activity." He considers it quite
unfortunate that over enthusiastic
music supervisors are yet loath to
rive ud the false claim that the
transfer of mental aptitudes from
one field of learning to another is
possible.
Teaches High School.
Speaking from his own expe
rience as a high school instructor.
Professor Kwalwasser refutes the
positive proof that music is the
best mind trainer" offered by H. T.
Finke who based his proof on
studies made at Magdalen college.
Here, though the music students
comprise only 10 percent of the ;
student body, tiey carry away
seventy-five percent of the honors.
The Hill professor believes that
this is due to the fact that in Mag
dalen college it is the best minds
which are attracted to the music
courses as in high school it is those
students of superior intelligence,
having ample time to indulge in
extra ctirrlcular activities which
are attracted to glee club and
chorus work.
Studies conducted by Dr. Kwal
wasser in a nationally known fine
arts college over a period of five
years, usually well reputed Intelli
gence tests and the Kwaiwasser-
Dykema music tests, reveal that
the correlation between musical
blltty and general intelligence Is 1
low. He states that, as a group, I
music students "are not the equal
of non-music students in general j
intelligence.
