PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, June 26, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published during the six weeks summer session on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Under direction of department of journalism, Room 14, liberal arts building MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, in charge MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS Subscription Rate.... 50 cents the summer BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H. Weller, chairman. E.M. McEwen, Mary Anderson, Marian Dyer EDITORIAL STAFF BETH WELLMAN Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office hours 1-5 Daily. Room 14, L.A. building Marian Dyer Managing Editor (Rest of staff to be announced later) BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM, Business Manager Telephone, 935; Office hours, Daily 9-12 103 Iowa Avenue Entered as second class matter, at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa THE RIGHT THING The State University of Iowa, as represented by the alumni and the present students, have weighed the matter with care and have decided upon a million-dollar memorial hall for their alma mater, which is to be consecrated to the memory of the soldiers and sailors of the world war. It is just and fitting, that whatever is done in this regard, be done right. The University of the best state in the union, perhaps the richest state in the union, can not afford to put up something that will fall short of the very best that can be designed. And the sum mentioned does not seem extravagant. For the building is to commemorate a great event, and as many hope the last great war. No doubt the money will be forthcoming. If need be a greater sum could be raised. But it is not sufficient to raise a big sum of money. That sum should also be nobly and wisely spent, so that in later years travelers will come from long distance, not to see a million-dollar building—they have them everywhere—but to see something exceptional, to see a masterpiece of architecture. It is to be hoped that the memorial hall will not be in the latest style—like a cigar factory—but that something real may be evolved. We have enough buildings that show us what is to be avoided. At Iowa City there is at least one structure that is praised by all who are competent to judge—the first Iowa capitol building, planned by Father Mazzuchelli. If the new memorial hall is of equal merit, then it will be worth much more the can be expressed in dollars.—Burlington Hawkeye. A THING OF BEAUTY The Iowan heartily endorses the sentiment of the above editorial concerning the proposed memorial building. There is no reason why the structure should not be made attractive and restful to the eye, as well as merely useful. It can be both beautiful and useful it rightly planned. Too many buildings have been erected in late years with apparent disregard of anything save utility. If this memorial is to be a true tribute to the soldiers eand [sic] sailors it should be beautiful. A good piece of architecture is a drawing card to a town. People from all over the state visit a certain small city in Iowa to see there a small but already famous church, the builders of which succeeded in securing harmony in its lines and yet in maintaining absolute simplicity. Old Capitol is the one prominent thing which stands out in the memory of visitors to the University and in the hearts of students and alumni. This is, of course, largely due to the traditions surrounding it, but nevertheless if the building itself were ugly there could be that same feeling of reverence. Instead of pointing to it with pride we should have to make apologies for its appearance. We hope that in the new memorial hall, the University of Iowa will obtain another structure to which it can justly point with pride. An architectural masterpiece would be a most welcome addition. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." REAL AMERICANISM Let us say Americanism and internationalism. An effort is being made to make the people of the United States to believe that, in having internationalism, patriotism—our American patriotism—is lost One can be an individual and still become socialized and a part of the community. So many a nation hold its own individuality and become socialized in the community or nations. And just as the individual who does not socialize himself is useless, even harmful to the community, so is the nation that holds stubbornly, selfishly or timidly away from the great cosmopolitan issue of the day, harming itself at the same time it is depriving the world of its co-operation. Who will say that being a good citizen keeps one from being a good patriot? Who can thoughtfully say that our interest in American excludes our interest in the great world that is becoming closer and closer tied to us by common interests?—The Evening Missourian. OFFICIAL NOTICE The University will one the privileges of the swimming pool in the women's gymnasium, during the six weeks' period of the summer session to the following groups of people under the conditions indicated: 1.

SEASHORE'S TESTS ATTRACT TEACHERS Music Supervisor of Kansas City and Graphonola Representative Are Among Students Five years ago Estelle L. Windhorst heard Den Carl E. Seashore lecture at the Harris Teachers College at St. Louis; last year the superintendent of Kansas City, Kansas, public schools read in the year book of the Society for Education an article by Dean Seashode [sic] on "the Musical Mind," and suggested to his supervisor of music, Bessie Miller, that she study the doctor's tests and experiments. Today both Miss Windhorst and Miss Miller are students in the psychological laboratories of the University. A general committee was appointed to revise the musical system of Kansas City and to make it more democratic. Miss Miller was a member of this committee, and upon learning of the work in the psychology of music offers at the University upon her own initiative decided to take the course offered in the summer session. Miss Miller is greatly pleased with her laboratory work here and expects to put the tests to practical use next year in the Kansas City schools. Miss Windhorst is now connected with the educational department of the Columbia Graphone Company. Her work has been mainly to show how the graphonola may be used in grade school teaching. She expects also to learn how to give these tests in connection with her educational work. In this latter phase, she uses the graphonola to illustrate different points in history or geography. President J.H.T. Main of Grinnell college returned last Friday from the Orient where he went as a member of the Armenian relief expedition. Every student and faculty member in the college met the 6:20 train the morning on which he arrived. The band and a long procession awaited him at the station. The nature study class at Grinnell college is collecting specimens for the botanical collection of the French University of Louvain. The collection at Louvain was destroyed by the Germans. Miss Lucille Franchere, chaperon at Currier annex, is living with Miss Agnes Flannigan on Such Clinton street. The C.R.
