Attaching Realism to
Higher Education.
"THAT American education is being rapidly
changed to meet the demands a "new deal" has
been evidenced during the past few months. The
most recent addition to this adjustment in our in
stitutions of higher education is the American Uni
versity's recently announced plan to open a school
of public affairs.
Briefly the school will consist of a laboratory
course designed to study government through direct
contact between students and officials in round
table discussions. The course will be offered one
semester, and in addition, will be open to a limited
number of graduates and undergraduates from uni
versities and colleges.
At first blush, the appears to be nothing sig
nificant about the idea. In reality, however, it rep
resents a significant gesture in American education.
It indicates that our system of education is answer
ing after a fashion, the crying need for realism in
university curricula. The true significance of this
addition to the American University was recently
summed up by David Lawrence. He said:
"Our inspiration for this ambitious program is
the challenge to education which has come with the
stirring times in which we find ourselves today.
Text-books alone are not sufficient. In natural or
applied science we do not depend only on an outline
of theory. The laboratory is the place where fact
and theory are surveyed in the test tubes of prac
tical experience. So must it be with the social
sciences. Here at the seat of government we shall
be creating a laboratory In the field of public af
fairs, an opportunity for those steeped in the doc
trines of what government ought to be to fuse their
viewpoints with those who every day are responsible
for what government really is. Here can be sur
veyed the facts of government, the great forces so
cial and economic, that press upon the governmen
tal structure and render it responsive or not to
popular will. Here can the human equation in gov
ernment be analyzed. Here can the call to service
to the youth of the country to participate in public
affairs be given a realistic inspiration."
What Mr. Lawrence wants, in short, is a new
type of student. A student who has adopted a sense
of realism in solving for himself the social and po
litical problems of today. If realized, he will bo
far different from the student of the past decade.
During the glorious twenties university stu
dents, like many others, bewed in humble subserv
iency to the almighty dollar. Graduating, as they
did, from universities indulging in promotional pub
licity, youth re-echoed the buoyant optimism of fi
nancial and industrial leaders. Caught in a capi
talistic dragnet, undergraduates, it seems, displayed
little interest in the governmental graft and corrup
tion exposed many times during that period. Evi
dently youth had lost sight of social idealism.
ETHER educators will answer this challenge
is a moot question. It is evident, however, that
progressive institutions re taking steps to instill in
undergraduate minds a sense of social idealism.
Iowa, Syracuse, Princeton, and other universities
have established schools of citizenship, round table
conferences, or institutes which have made notable
contributions to the study and understanding of cur
rent problems of American life.
It Is apparent, then, that cne shortcoming of
our educational system Is being adjusted to de
mands of a new era. Conservative institutions of
learning should soon discover that a revision of an
tique curricula 13 necessary. They should realize,
too, that university undergraduates must be trained
to face problems from a realistic point of view. Out
of this overhauling should come the type of youth
described by David Lawrence youth blessed with
Ideas of their own and imbued with the ideal of pub
lic service.

"Politics" is a horrid word, and as such is
frowned upon in many circles. Yet where there is
government in the guise of democracy, there are
elective) offices to be filled and there are candidates
competing with each other for various posts, backed
by their own factions and telling the electorate how
good they will be if they get "in." There you have
it: politics.
Election time at Stanford has in recent periods
been a rather hectic, turbulent affair, with even
your best friend with his ear to the ground and
afraid to tell you. Within a few months, another
auch event will be at hand, with the June elections
for everything from A.S.S.TJ. president to sopho
more man on the Executive Committee. Looking
forward with dignified restraint to the happy all
University party, the Daily takes time out momen
tarily to quote from a recent passage in the Daily
Tar Heel editorial columns, our North Carolinian
contemporary.
"Within a relatively short time the student
body will go to the polls and elect campus-wide offi
cers. What those officers will do or will not do
after the election, the student body does not know.
Neither, we suspect, does anyone else.
"For a momentary glance at the system of gov
ernment by which the student body runs itself re
veals an utter lack of system. We do not elect offi
cers to fill positions in a co-ordinated frame of gov
ernment. . . Why not make it possible for the stu
dent body to know what it is they are voting for in
campus politics? Why not let politicians know
what they are supposed to do after they are
elected?"
Remember, the quotation comes from North
Carolina, not Stanford. But it doesn't do any harm
at all to reprint it here and to realize that the same
shoe often fits mere than one foot.
When we start thinking about accepting the
revised A.S.S.U. constitution, which will be com
pleted soon, let's be sure that we have a form of
student government that Stanford can truly be
proud of. Stanford Daily.

p REAT BRITAIN made a number of disarmament
proposals on January 29 of this year, primarily
intending to get France to agree with her on a dis
armament plan of some sort, but the French an
swer, received in London last Saturday, rejected all
but one of the proposals. The only suggestion to
which France agreed was one that Germany's re
turn to the League of Nations should be an essen
tial condition of any disarmament convention.
Needless to say, the reply was very unsatisfactory
to the British government. Immediately opposition
members in Parliament planned to bring the mat
ter up for debate some time this week to learn the
government's proposed next step. But the govern
ment has made it understood that it will try to pre
vent any discussion in the near future.
The most serious objection of the French to the
proposals contained in the British memorandum is
the suggestion that Germany be given permission
to have certain armaments while the powers al
ready armed begin reduction in armaments at the
same time. Evidently the French still fear some
thing from the other side of the Rhine, and they
have intimated that there is no possibility of their
being argued into any plan similar to that advanced
by the British. The British government intends to
take its time for further study of the French, Ger
man, and Italian attitudes, and then launch a new
series of notes and conversations.
QN the same day that the British government re
ceived the reply from France definitely ending
immediate international disarmament action, a
large group of advocates of the affiliation of the
United States with the World Court appeared be
fore the Senate Foreign Relations committee and
urged immediate action on the World Court proto
col and accompanying reservations designed to
bring this country into membership in the court.
This sudden revival of interest in the tribunal was
a real surprise to the opposition, which had figured
that interest in the proposition had, to all appear
ances, died, but now leaders of the opposition fear
that court advocates have gained enough strength
in the committee to force a favorable report some
time during this session. Democratic members of
the committee as well as a few of the Republicans
favor putting the treaties on the Senate calendar
without delay.
The initiative was taken last Saturday by more
than three hundred representatives of peace move
ments and organizations, bar associations, women's
clubs, chambers of commerce, and other groups
which filled the senate caucus room when the argu
ments were presented to the committee. A former
president of the American Bar association acted as
chairman cf the delegations, speaking for all of
them. He described the present status of the court,
the force and effect of the so-called Root formula,
and analyzed the work of the court for the last
twelve years. He also reminded the committee that
eight years ago, the Senate, by a vote of 76 to 17,
agreed to membership with certain reservations and
that the protocol had been before the Foreign Rela
tions committee for three years. At the close of the
hearing, it was announced that opposition would be
heard in hearings some time during the next two
weeks, and leaders felt that if it came to a vote, the
committee would probably give a favorable report.
"pHE latest creation of the present administration
to assist in the matter of international trade is
an office of special adviser on foreign trade, the in
cumbent to be an official with the broadest possible
powers in negotiating foreign trade agreements for
the advancement of American commerce. The order
creating the office was issued from the White House
last week-end. This official will have at his dis
posal a total of one hundred thousand dollars from
public works funds and will have the authority to
negotiate three types of agreements. George N.
Peek has been prominently mentioned as the most
logical man for the position. The president's ex
planation at the time he Issued the order was that
increasingly complex problems had arisen in for
eign trade, and that for purposes of co-ordination
he was creating this new office.
The foreign trade adviser will have the power
to work on agreements in three different categories.
The first concerns financing transactions. The sec
ond involves barter transactions, and the third is
any ether form of governmental participation which
is allowed by law. He is empowered to carry on
such negotiations "with respect to specific trade
transactions with any individual, corporation, asso
ciation, group, or business agency" If he so desires.
The foreign trade adviser will have full access to
the records and files of the newly created export
import banks, government departments, and other
federal agencies, and may request whatever official
services he requires. A temporary committee which
was set up last December to recommend permanent
machinery to co-ordinate all government relations
to American foreign trade is supplanted by this new
arrangement

fin exact reproduction of expensive North Carolina tlotaeiputt
Ever since Colonial days Carolina Homespun has been one of
the world's fabric classics and a latter-day favorite of custom
tailor patrons.
Sawyer-Spun is the famous power-loomed duplicate so simi
lar you can't tell one from the other. The same rugged "double
twist warp" weave, the same rich colorings and the same hand
made look are there.
Sawyer-Spun, moreover, is soft tailored in precise copies or

about half the cost.
