At The Playhouse
the most pronounced hits

twenty years, "Broadway," is to be
Len at the Playhouse theater for two

and night performance! March 3.
jed Harris' play was an instan
taneous success in New York where
it is now in its second year, while
there are companies playing at Bos
ton Chicago, and Philadelphia, and
another in California which proves
that the night club classic is. equally
as popular out of New York, as it is
nn Broadway the street from which
it receives its name.
The story takes place in a fashion
able New York night club where peo
plo rv in search of a thrill, the places
that churge the exorbitant' cover
charge for the privilege of paying ex
cessive prices for bad food and other
things, supply the patrons with en
tertainment known as a Cabaret
Show and while this show is going
on, the action of the dramatic story
0f '"Broadway" takes place. There
is a jazz orchestra playing the lively
tuncs the chorus girls coming and
going the usual vernacular that one
hears in such places and in fact
everything that makes the surrouhd
inps attmospheric and realistic.
Just how well Jed Harris has car
nut the details in this celebrated
success can be judged from the ex
cerpts from the review of America's
brilliant critic, Mr. Percy Hammond,
who said, '"Broadway is the most
completely acted and perfectly di
rected show that I have seen in thirty
years of professional play going."
Alexander Woolcott said, "At last a
completely and heartily entertaining
play has come to town. I cannot for
the life of me think of a man or
woman that would not be absorbed
and deeply amused by 'Broadway.' "
e
Taste For Good Books
Is Matter of Training
That young people of fair intelli
gence will read good literature with
out compulsion if they are brought
up in an environment of well-selected
books is the opinion of Miss
Mabel E. Harris, librarian for Teach
ers College high school. Children who
are trained to enjoy good literature
will become bored with the poorly
written book just as musical people
will become bored with "jazz," she
said.

estant College. It was founded in the
'60's as a denominational college with
the idea that the opportunity for
those who could not go abroad would
be given at home for study.
It is not a missionary enterprise.
The teaching of the Christian faith
or any Christian education is prohib
ited. It is not permissible for any
students to change to the Christian
faith during their residence at the
college. Moslem families have confi
dence in the institution, and they do
not fear that their children will ac
cept a new faith 'while they are away
at the school.
Curriculum Is Like Ours
The college curriculum is about
the same as it is here according to
the professor. Arts and science, agri
culture, n.edicine, dentistry, and en
gineering courses are offered. The
pressing need for the medical men is
shown by the fact that Professor Old
father had to travel for five , days
with an infected foot before he
could reach a doctor.
The cosmopolitan nature of the
college both in race and religion was
plainly marked. Over thirteen na
tionalities were represented at the
institution. In the group may be
found Italians, Persians, Filipinos,
Bedouins, Tartars, Armenians, and
Jews. Theology seems to be the chief
point of interest. It is so interesting
that the instructors are forced to be
as silent as possible on the subject.
The outstanding quality in the
people is their inclination to false
hood. Mr. Oldfather claimed that it
was only on rare occasions that a
native1 would tell the truth. The only
thing to which he could attribute this
inclination was the fact that they
had been so long under Turkish
domination and forced subterfuge
upon the people if they wished to
survive.
Mr. Oldfather said that he had
reached the conclusion that there is
no superior race there, and although
some races have a higher average
ability, it is due to background rather
than inherited capacity.

WERNER ARTICLE IS
PRINTED IN JOURNAL
Report Is Based on Investigation of
High School and College
Freshman Groups
In the January issue of the Mod
ern Language Journal an article on
the "Influence of The Study of Mod
ern Foreign Languages on the Devel
opment of Abilities in English" by
Professor O. H. Werner was printed
as the lead article.
The article was based on a study
carried on by Prof. Werner under
the auspices of the Modern Foreign
Language Committee which has been
carrying on this investigation for
several years.
In the investigation it was found
that an individual exhibits a mastery
of English in four specialized abil
ities: (1) the ability to read with a
fair degree of speed and compre
hension; (2) the ability to appreciate
the fine qualities of fine literature;
(3) . the ability to speak correctly
and effectively; (4) the ability to
convey ones thoughts in written
formi
Four Groups Studied
Four groups were chosen for the
study; two groups consisting of 700
high school students, one studying a
foreign language and the other not.
The other two groups consisted of
300 college freshmen ;a foreign lan
guage group and a non-foreign lan
guage group.
Two test were conducted: one at
the beginning of the year and the
other at the end of the year in order
that an estimatte might be made as
to the amount of improvement each
group.
As a result the following conclu
sions were drawn: (a) it is difficult
to defend the general statement
that the study of a modern language
will always aid in the development
of desirable abilities in English, (b)
the evidence indicates that a study of
modern foreign languages aids in thd
development of speed and compre
hension in reading especially with
high school students; (c) the study
of modern foreign language aids in
the development of ability in gram
mar and in the development of vo
cabulary; (d) and the study of mod
ern foreign language does not appar
ently aid in the development of abil
ity to punctuate correctly, to dis
cover faulty sentence structure, or
to discover speech errors and to cor
rect them.

Green Predominates
In Men's Spring Wear
New York City, Feb. 27. (By
Fairchild News Service) Green, ap
propriate color of springtime, will be
worn by a majority of well-dressed
college students this season, accord
ing to observations made for Men's
Wear and the: Daily News Record.
Canvasses made by style reporters
of these publications in all parts of
the country show that undergrad
uates have expressed a preference
for this shade) in hose, shirts, cravats
and sweaters, and its adoption by
style leaders at the different institu
tions probably will cause the color
to come into general favor among
college men.
In the East, quantities of pale
green shirts have been seen at the
larger universities. Another signi
ficant style note seen here is the
solid color, light green pullover
sweater, with round or "crew" neck,
with solid color stockings to match,
worn with knickers. Neckties with
patterns made up of small figures
or the small shepherd's check also
have been noted in this shade.
Pale and light tans also will be
popular with students, according to
those who have investigated the
taste of collegians. These tan
shades are expected to be confined
to shirts, made with attached collars
which will be worn with a pin, as is
customary at present with the best
dressed students at colleges and uni
versities in -nearly every section of
the country.
A distinct swing in the direction of
narrower hat brims, both curled and
flat, is reported. In some cases col
lege men, not satisfied with the
width furnished by their retailers,
have trimmed their hat-brims down
to an inch or less, thus obtaining an
unusual effect. For "good" hats a
curled brim, distinctly narrow, is be
coming popular. Other hats, used by
college men for informal spring
wear, will be worn with the crown
pinched in front, and with the brims,
which are unbound at the edges,
turned down in front or at the side.
Hat colors favored by college stu
dents now include brown, a shade
which had been neglected by college
men for the past few seasons. The
extremely popular derby will of
course be alid away with the coming
of warm weather, and lightweight
felts, in various shades of gray,
brown and in some cases green, will
be used fcr daily wear. The curled-
brim or Homburg hat, mentioned
above, is to become popular as a hat
having formality and dignity equal
to that of a derby.
Students Develop Original Ideas in
'Piddling' With Clay in Art Classes
Norman, Okla., Feb. 27. (Spe
cial) Students at the University of
Oklahoma have found at last a class
in which they can do as they pWase.
When the eighteen or twenty
would-be sculptors and potters, who
had enrolled in John N. Frank's
courses in ceramics and modeling, re
ported at the first of the semester,
they were told to grab a hunk of
clay and get to work.
They were to spend at least ten
hours a week "piddling" with stuff,
Frank told them. They could make
anything they pleased and he would
help them as much as he could. A
group of plaster casts of old Greek
and Roman sculpture lined the walls
of the room. They could use those
as models.
It has been five months now since
Frank first came here to teach mod
eling and ceramics at the university.
Already the shelves in the little shop
in the armory building are weighted
down with scores of gaily colored,
rustic looking bits of pottery and
clay work.
Shiny vases, oddly designed tiles,
quaint little book ends, incense burn
ers, faces, animals, and an endless
array of original ideas worked out
by the students, who while away
their afternoons in the shop are
there. Many of their creations have
been taken home or sent to friends.
Frank lectures to them an hour or
two a week and then turns them loose
on some project of their own. When
they conceive the idea, he helps them
develop it. It is not an unusual oc
currence for some really clever idea
to turn up, Frank says.
"I try to let them follow their own
inclinations as much as possible,"
Frank said. "They find things which
interests them more than any thing I
could suggest. The courses are de
signed to develop their originality
and appreciation of the art as much
as. to make potters and sculptors out
of them."
At least one of the students in the
courses intends to start a pottery of
her own upon graduation.
that the queen was very much an
noyed. "She invited him to stay by her
Bide during the ceremonies, but he
only emiled and calmly walked back
to his place next to the governor,
where he remained till time for him
to leave. Sorry to say Lindy is not
very popular with the "Senoritas"
but the rest of Porto Rico is at his
feet, and the papers speak of him
as 'un muchacho divino' (a divine
boy)."

Renewed Foreign Policy Pledges
Aid to Representative
Renewal of the participation in
the Bupport of Clinton Steele Hol-
combe, '16, Y. M. C. A. worker in
Egypt, has been pledged by the spe
cial committee which was appointed
to meet with John W. Nipps, secre
tary of the national council, last
week, according: to C. D. Hayes, gen
eral secretary of the university "Y".
Speaking on the whole policy of
the Y. M. C. A. work in foreign
countries, Mr. Nipps stressed it as
one of cooperation, with the leader
ship of the different countries free
from attempts to dominate or pat
ronize. This policy has resulted in
a very rapid development of an in
digenous Y. M. C. A. movement in
many countries, he said.
One of the finest examples of this
sort of work, in the opinion of Mr.
Nipps, is that developed at Cairo,
Egypt, in which Mr. Holcombe has
had an active part. A recent letter
received from tho latter by the Uni
versity "Y" enclosed a folder outlin
ing the program of the new boys'
work department, of which Mr. Hol
combe has full charge. The outline
is written in the Egyptian language.
Pictures of boys at play and boating
on the Nile accompanied the letter.
GRADUATES VISIT THE

company at Evelette, Minn.
made by the business man, in the
opinion of Dean Akley. "However,"
the Dean reminded the business
men, "when we stop to think of
where we learned to shoulder respon
sibility, we find that it was in the
school of hard knocks." The young
man would be grey haired and tooth
less before his time, the Dean inti
mated, if he were to be weighed
down with responsibilities early in
his career.
The business man expects the im
possible from the college graduate,
s aid the Dean. The function of the
college is to prepare the student for
the university of hard knocks, to give
him an attitude of eagerness, and a
willingness to accept in good spirit
the discipline of the business world,
the Dean seems to believe.
Part of the letter read as follows;
"Saturday night the carnival, which
is a yearly event in San Juan, be
gan, and Lindy was asked to escort
the queen to her throne. The queen
tried some of her Spanish tricks on
Lindv but they all failed. He would
