Dean Russell discusses education in the United States. An account of educational work in Germany, England, France, Canada and Denmark is included in the volume. "Diversity of education is the striking characteristic of education in the United States," says Dean Russell, and he gives the reasons for such diversity. He outlines the organization and development of education, particularly in its relation to state control, and analyzes the peculiar inequalities of educational constructive suggestions for their correction. Only elementary and secondary public schools are taken up in the discussion. Many illustrative charts and statistical tables are introduced in the work. MARCOSSON PRAISES LEADERS OF ALLIES Germans Busy in Propaganda to Promote Commercial Interests, Lecturer Asserts "The reason for our winning the war is rooted in the leaders of our allies," was the statement of Isaac F.

"Not a dangerous optimist" were the words Mr. Marcosson used in describing General Pershing in his headquarters at Chaumaine, and pictured the strength and personality of the man who outlined the transportation system which brought our soldiers to the front in numbers and a brevity of time that the European countries had not imagined was possible. Mr. Marcosson has followed up German propaganda and with all his intensity and vigor of speech told of its dangers in peace as well as in war. "All camouflage about her being down and out," he stated with an ironic smile. He then outlined briefly the way in which Germany has prepared for peace, told of cotton stored in Switzerland, of copper and rubber stored in Spain, explained how goods that was really manufactured by German workmen and under German control would be sold in this country marked "made in Sweden" or Switzerland. Mr. Marcosson as well as being interesting and entertaining, imbued the audience with something of his zeal and enthusiasm in world wide affairs, and made them feel the strength of personality of one of America's greatest newspaper men.

[3rd column] FRANCESCA ZARAD SINGS FOR BENEFIT OF BLIND SOLDIERS No Admission Charge for Entertainment but Contribution Taken for Eyeless APPEARS IN TWO CONCERTS Music Critics Hold Opera Singer in High Esteem Both Here and Abroad Francesca Zarad, the celebrated French prima donna who has given remarkable service to her belowed land, will appear in two concerts in the natural science auditorium, Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 27-28, at 8:15. At the opening of the war Madame Zarad was one of the starts of the Vienna Grand Opera, which was controlled by the government. She immediately gave up her position and returned to France to sing in convalescent hospitals and perform other valuable services for the wounded soldiers. She came to America nineteen months ago. Madame Zarad devoted the whole of last winter to singing in the army camps of the South, and last summer she gave fifty-five concerts to increase the fund for rehabilitation of blind soldiers of the Allies. All this time she not only contributed her time and unusual talent, but she also insisted on paying her personal expenses. Music critics are enthusiastic in their praise of her work both here and abroad, and without exception speak of her as comparing favorably with such artists as Gluck and Farrar. She is said to possess an unusually attractive personality in addition to her full, rich soprano voice. Almost without exception the critics speak of her winning smile, which is said to make its way straight to the hearts of her listeners. No admission fee will be exacted for the concerts of Madame Zarad, but a contribution will be taken for the benefit of blinded soldiers. She is devoting her time and talent to this cause, and is giving free of charge the same concert for which she is paid $350 and upwards. HOUK WRITES OF WORK IN OHIO "Calculations of Flow in open Channels," is the title of a new book by Ivan E. Houk, a graduate of the college of applied science in 1911. The book is a technical report in connection with the work in the Miami Conservancy district at Dayton, Ohio. This organization is building five earth dams across the Miami river and its tributaries to form retarding basins and to improve several miles of river channel within the twelve largest cities of the valley. This huge engineering project will cost $25,000,000 is to prevent a recurrence of the flood of 1939 which destroyed 160 lives and $100,000,000 worth of property. Mr. Houk's book is the best ever written on this subject, according to Dean Raymond. Former Secretary H. M. LeSourd leaves Monday for Ohio State University. [4th column] DR. BOSE WRITES ARTICLE Discusses American Newspapers in "The Indian Review." Dr. Sudhindra Bose, faculty member, is the author of an article on "The American Newspaper" which appeared in "The Indian Review," a monthly magazine published in Madras. India newspapers are quite different from our up-to-the-minute efficient news gathering organizations, according to the article. "In India," states Professor Bose, "editors keep themselves aloof. They are almost inaccessible to humanity." "In America," he says, "Editors keep their fingers constantly on the pulse of the demos, wishing to visualize what people say and think." Drawing a picture of the news reporter, Professor Bose writes, "Reporters in this mile-a-minute age have to work under tremendous pressure." He discusses how it is possible for the story of a football game to appear on the streets ten minutes after the close of the game. "The reporter,' hey says, "is made in a sturdy mould, and as Kipling puts in his 'Gungadin,' he does not seem to know the use of fear when it comes to getting news in the face of difficulty and danger." FIRST MIXER PROVES TO BE A GAY EVENT Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Party at Women's Gym is Largely Attended by Students "At Last I Meet You!" read the programs on which new students, old students, and faculty members exchanged names a the all University mixer held at the women's gymnasium Friday night. The large attendance and the getting acquainted spirit made it evident that an opportunity to mix is just what has been needed. H. M. LeSourd, Y. M. C. A. secretary, led the singing of "Old Gold," national songs, and camp songs, and introduced the speakers. President WA. A. Jessup was unable to attend and give an address of welcome, as was previously arranged. That we are citizens of the world was the broadening thought of Dean G. F. Kay's talk. He emphasized two sides of education, the part the faculty plays, the part students play, and the relation between them. Emmanuel Eisfeld, Lawrence Hertlein, O. S. Fatland, and Charles Maruth entertained with mandolin music. Reminded of an English vicar's translation of American slang in Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel, "The Shuttle," Mrs. Nellie S. Aurner, dean of women, explained the meaning of the word, mixer. "Its good to be here," were the words of Capt. A. L. Lane, who has come here since the "S. A. T. C. epidemic." He discussed the S. A. T. C. from an officer's standpoint. Guests were divided into groups according to counties and a grand march formed, which was the closing feature of the party. [5th column] OLD GOLD AVERAGE IS RAISED IN BIG TEN CONFERENCE Bannick's Squad Played More Games Than Any Other Conference School MET PURDUE LAST NIGHT Coach and Trainer Jack Watson Accompany the Squad On the Trip Iowa took sweet revenge on Indiana for the recent defeat suffered here at the hands of the Hoosiers by trouncing that five Friday night at Bloomington by a score of 21 to 10. This raises the Hawkeye average in the Big Ten percentage column to the.500 mark, which is not so bad when it is remembered that Iowa has played more conference games than any other Big Ten school. The team's splendid reversal of form is remarkable considering the fact that Indiana beat Iowa nine points a little more than a week ago. Bannick's men met Purdue last night in the last game of the southern trip. Although the Boilermakers were defeated by Chicago, they have a fast team of veterans and a win over them would not only boost Iowa's stock in the percentage column but would mean a splendid chance for high conference honors for the Old Gold. As the paper goes to press, no results of the second game have been received. The squad of eight men including Captain Berrien, Olson, Cotton, Worth, Finlayson, Nicholaus, Brown, and Kaufman are on the southern trip. VICTORY HAWKEYE CAMPAGIM BEGINS See the Mysterious Mabelle at the Movies--She's Surely a Regular Beauty "Put the Hawkeye over" is the slogan for the Victory Hawkeye sales campaign, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week. The progress of the sale will be marked by a big Hawkeye on the northeast corner of the liberal arts building. In spite of the increase in cost in production the price of books will be the same as last, $2.50 for cloth bound, $3 for leatherette, and $5 for De Luxe. A $1 deposit must be made on each book when the subscription blank is signed, solicitors will be provided with check blanks. Those curious as to the identity of Mabelle may see her picture at any of the "movies" during the sales campaign. The Victory Hawkeye staff state that groups having candidates for the Iowa Girl section will have to put up a warm contest to compete with them, as they know the charm and personality of Mabelle and are determined to have her picture in their annual. The freshmen dents will entertain the entire college of dentistry at a dance in the women's gymnasium Friday evening, Feb. 7.
