HANSON SPEAKS MAKES FINE CON VOCATIONAL AD DRESS TO SMALL AUDIENCE THE NEW SOCIAL CONSCIENCE Traces Development Through Three Stages Compares Crime in United States. and Foreign Countries Dr. Theodore Hanson spoke this morning at Convocation on "The 'New Social Conscience." Prof. Grummann introduced him to the small audience which had gathered to hear one of the best Convocation speeches this year. Three stages in the development of the social conscience were traced by the speaker. The first stage was that of the individual conscience, in which the individual's conception of right and wrong alone guided him. The next stage was that in which the com munity was conscious of moral ethics and compelled obedience to certain standards. . Now the community has gone farther and is investigating the causes of transgressions and holding itself responsible for them. Dr. Hanson gave some interesting comparisons of the United States and foreipn countries in the matter of crime. Taking the murder rate of Chicago as an example, he showed that In proportion to its population It would have a murder rate, as compared with London, of six hundred to eighty.

Mines, a professor of physi ology at McGill University, met a strange death. Saturday night in his laboratory at the University. Professor Mines had been working in his laboratory all afternoon making experiments on respiration and heart action. At 6 o'clock the janitor found him lying unconscious on the floor, a broken heart testing device still at tached to him. Examination has led to the belief that the heart action and respiration device getting out of order was hte direct cause of the professor's death.
