WAR AND THE ENDBy Professor Theodore Smith

Between 431 and 404 B.C. thetwo great leagues of ancient Greecefought a bitter and exhaustingwar. At the end, when Athens hadunconditionally surrendered, whenSparta had set up the "Thirty Ty-rants" in Athens, it was clear toall that Sparta had won. But welook back the long corridor of timeand see that the PeleponnesianWar was not a victory for the harshmilitarism of Sparta, but the de-struction of the greatest cultureman has yet known. The frightfulnet loss of that struggle was ap-preciated only years after its end.

WHY NATIONS ARE ARMEDBy Colonel Samuel C. Vestal

From the political point of viewthere are two kinds of wars, civilwars, within states, and interna-tional wars, between states. TheAmerican Revolution was a civilwar within the British Empire, andthe "War between the States" from1861 to 1865 was a civil war withinthe United States. Our War of 1812with Great Britain and the WorldWar were international wars.

Through the ages, more blood-shed has come from civil than frominternational strife. The peacemovement concerns itself only withinternational war. The League of

But this calumny is particularly apt as appliedto those men who, possessing only a thoroughknowledge of a study, have sought to take ad-vantage of the way in which teachers are hired

and thus ease themselves into employmentwhich is above all things dependable.

Such men have been thorns in the sides ofTechnology students in many easily recogniz-able forms. (Of course "sympathy with thestudent" is not taken to mean what the stu-

dent generally infers: lack of discipline, lenien-cy in grading, and similar evidence of indi-vidual weakness.)

A man possessing this third prerequisitewill ordinarily have his professional librarystocked half with technical texts, and halfwith books dealing with "students in the raw.''The second prerequisite thus goes hand inhand with the third, although they are neces-

sarily separate and distinct.

We advance this point of View with no ideaof revolutionizing either teaching or teachingmethods, we have already stated that it isneither. original nor new. But certainly someprotest is necessary to point to a need for a

more intelligent and conscientious applicationof teaching systems and less attention paid towhat the system itself involves.

TRENDS IN JURISPRUDENCESUPREME COURT DECISIONS

TODAY the Supreme Court has come intoextraordinary prominence as a result of

the duty which has come upon it to pass on thevalidity of a group of legislation which collect-ively represents a school of political' thought.Their decisions, limiting as they do the path

over which the feet of the government maywalk, are extremely important. Yet there is anattitude which people take toward their dic-

tums which is definitely fallacious.Most people consider the Supreme Court, not

as composed of nine men with different mindsand different backgrounds, but merely as nine

automatons who mechanically apply static and

definite precepts of law to various cases.Nothing could be farther from the truth.

First of all, if the law were definite therewould be no need of the Supreme Court, nor of

as many lawyers as we now have in our' so-ciety. In point of fact there are a multiplicityof conflicting and confusing laws on any sub-ject, and the previous decisions on those sub-jects are still more varied. It would require a

Super-Intelligence to successfully integrate allthe Varying opinions which have keen set forthby jurists on even the most elementary pointof law.

Next, the law is certainly not static. Deci-sions, precedents, play almost as much a partin it as do the actual statutes themselves.These precedents are influenced to a large de-gree by the actual institutional condition of

society. This point is illustrated pointedly bythe present decisions of the Supreme Court. Ingerelal the majority, all of whom at some timehave been corporation lawyers, express judicialopinions which are a direct function of theirtraining. They uphold the vested interests. Onthe other hand the minority, led by Cardozoand Brandeis, write their opinions in the lightof their liberalistic ideas. More and more intothe opinions are being written analyses of thelaw in the light of modern conditions andpolitico-economic theory is openly discussed.Jurisprudence is losing some of its usual ri-gidity.

This change in the application of law is anexcellent thing. Law, like government, has asits primary purpose the service of those gov-erned by the law. It should make for the fullerlife to the greater number without unjusttyrannization of a minority. As conditions

change so do the best interests of the people.If law does not keep step with this change it isfailing in its duty.

PLYMOUTH-Despite protestationson the part of metropolitan news-paper critics that Boston has finallyshown itself to be open-minded andliberal, the Boston edition of TobaccoRoad is definitely expurgated. In NewYork, what was stressed was the in-cestuous proceedings between JeeterLester and his supposed daughterwhile the Boston performances madeno mention of the fact. The play isalso changed in several less importantways, but nevertheless, it manages toretain its vitality. The actions of thecharacters, their callous disregard forfamily, honesty, and morals appearedso strange to the audience as to be-come ludicrous. But when the playwas finished there seemed to be some-thing missing, there was no barb--theplay was just an excellent bit of de-scription.

It is in acting that the play reallyexcels. Everyone really gets under theskin of his or her character and makesit throb. Special credit must go toHenry Huil for he is Jeeter Lesterdown to the last mannerism.

TEACHERS AND SYSTEMSFUTILITY OF MODERN PEDAGOGY

tN an insistent and earnest effort to makeI this a better educational world in which to-be instructed, the pedagogues have expendedmuch energy in attempting to prove that thisor that system is the essence of good teaching.Perhaps the two leading schools of thoughtalign themselves on opposite sides as to therelative merits of the American or Oxford sys-tem of teaching; undoubtedly the lack of suc-cess of either side is accounted for by an in-ability to prove arguments by pointing to aconsistently better product evolving undereither plan of instruction.

We would like to, advance the cause of aschool of thought which, although by nomeans new, certainly deserves more seriousconsideration than whether the student learnsmore by being soaked in knowledge or havingit poured into him with a shotgun. This schoolof belief probably has more proof to back itsarguments than all others to-ether.

The school on whose side we prefer to befound is that which holds that the criterion of

godteaching- is not a "good system" lout

"oIvood teachers".Such a statement, obvious though it may

app~ear, is seldoma iven its true value, as afurther analysis indicates. A "good" teacherpossesses three fundamental prerequisites.

First of these is a thorough understandingof hwis subject. This is scarcely worth reitera-tion; few schools of -note will add to their in-structing staffs any but men who can prove tob~e thoroughly -rounded iI1 the subject matterthey are to teach. If, oul the other hand, ateacher manages to bluff his way with insuffi-cient knowledge into a job, his deficiency neverlools tile students. Although not grounded ina subject at all, students are quick to note andlresent any attempt on the part of an instructorto tread on ground where his footing is notabsolutely sure.

Second, ini order of increasing importance, isthe ability of a teacher to teach; and suddenlywne have reached a standard to which little or,~o attention is paid when employing teachers,and absolutely none after they have begunwork. Rtalely is an attempt made to judge ateacher's power to convey his knowledge,Bgeat though it mnay be, to the ultimate con-stimer, the student.

Tech-nology, among, other schools, has suf-

fered much from this failing. Ability in teach-ir g is a direct function of the number of yearsspenit in the work, and more particularly ofcareful study supplemented by trial and error.Since he is never called upon to prove anythingbout his knowledge of the text book, the aver-age teacher never applies himself to the studyof teaching nilethods.

The final prerequisite is an understanding ofand a sympathy with the student's problems,bsothl academic and adolescent. It has beenwidely and falsely stated that "thlose who ca-n,do; those whoe cannot, teach"; teaching is oneof the oldest and most honorable professionsand always been accorded the honor due it.

TELEPHONE engineers had to find a way to stop grayT squirrels gnawing holes in the lead sheath of tele.

phone cables. Even a tiny hole may let in moisture -shortcircuit the wires-and put a numnber of telephones out ofservice temporarily.

Miany ideas were tried, but the squirrels gnawed on.Finally the cables were painted with black asphaltmnl andsprinkled we-tlh sand. The gnawing stopped.

Not a major engineering problem, to be sure. But thou-sands of strange little problems, too, have been solved toassuareyou the world's most reliable telephone service.

Igathering its composure before nine counters, the South's total, had trickledacross the plate.

Tomorrow's sport schedule is unusually light, with Oscar Hed-lund's handicap meet the only activity listed. The handicap meet willbe the last one of the year, for starting next Saturday the varsitytrackmen will be participating in intercollegiate competition.

Meanwhile tle crewmel enter the last stages of their training for theopenings or the season onl next Saturday. R~ecently, Nve readl a newspap~er (lis-patchl whiche quoted Jim Ten E ye~k, the veteran Syracuse mentor, as sayingthat because of adverse conditions his oarsmen would be ill vrey poor con-dition. for the race oil Lake Quinsiganiond against Yale and Techl. The dis-patch Nvent on to sayr that Ten Eyckc wias hopeful of postpollilg the race untila later date, suitable to all three schlools. Nothing more has been heard fromthe Syracusanls, so wve presume that the statement wvas of the same type asKtnute Rock~ne regularly used to miake in his pre-garme comments.

Although the freshman turnouts for lacrosse have been meagerin the last few years the yearlings have shown sufficient interest thisspring to warrant a five-game schedule smith outside opponents. Theopener is with the Tufts frosh a week from today. The Engineerfreshmen like tile v-arsity, could stand a little more muanpower fortheir coming gamnes, howvever, and they would appreciate seeing somesnore candidates over the Coop Field.

The -M. T. T. Golf HCub held an or-ganization meeting Wednesday ,ight.

It was decided that the first practicewill be held on Tuesdays April 21, atthe Oakley Golf Club il Watertown.All men eligible for the varsity arerequested to meet at 9:30 A. M. at theInstitute or at 10 o'clock at tle golfcourse. All green fees will be paid bythe club.

It was decided that if enough fresh-mel show interest in golf, a team willbe formed for them. However, at pres-ent the number of frosh out for golfis far too small to make the forma-tion of a freslllan team possible.

Captain Rudy J. Ozol, '36, announc-ed that the first match whill be heldwith Holy Cross at Worcester on Sat-urday, April 25. Predictions weremade by Captain Ozol and CoaclCowan that in view of the materialavailable, this year tvill witiness anexcellent team.

The Cambridge Collegians, Tech'sunofficial baseball team, went toNortheastern's Huntington Field inBroookline on Wednesday, and werelet down with three hits by Gus Rook,Northeastern's star Sophomore pitch-er, who struck out tweelve batters. TheCambridge Club never threatened, andthe Huskies had the better of theargument from beginning to endwhich sad finale found the Beaversquad on the small end of a 12-0score.

Outside of the seven-run sixth in-ning, the Collegians didn't show uptoo badly. Shulman, the Collegian'sthird baseman, pulled off a neat, un-assisted double play to end the fourthinning and eliminate the threat ofloaded bases.

Again the Same Standard"Proving ourselves" is a phrase we

hear- perhaps oftener in college lifethan in any other environment weknow. And there is no time of the yearin college when that phrase is mzoreforcibly brought to the minds of eachone of us than at examination time. Itis a period of proving ourselves in theacademic field, in our social relation-ships, and, most important of all, ofproving anew that our repjjutation forthe very highest code of honor is basedon solid fact.

It has been said by those who arefaniliar with life on other collegecampuses, that the honor system inacaderic life functions more perfectlyat Mary Baldwin college than at anyother school that they have known.All of us recognized this fact and pointto it with pride; it is fine to be able tosay that our honor is above reproach.

All during the year that reputationof ours is constantly tested; especiallyis tliis true at examination time. Veryseldom has the sacred trust of ourlhonor been violated; never withoutthe unanimous condemnation of the|rest of the group. Let us remember, asIwe go to prove ourselves once more,that it is not only an opportunity toprove the personal honor of each stu-(dent, important as that- is, but an op-portunity to prove our group worthyof the high place accorded it in therealm of academic honor."Who steals my purse steals trash,...But he that filches from me my good

name,Robs me of that which not enriches

himAnd makes me poor indeed,"

s reasons for or daini-n- 1and est ab-lishi~ll-r the Con2stitutiOl).

Ballot Not ButlletIn the U~nitedl States w-c dtcid'e

political questions by c o-untingpheads for and~ against, and~ the de-cision of the ballot is fialla andlwithout ap~peall ex(cep~t to the bullet.If a minrolity couldl obtain pgosses-sion of the governmlellt througlh anappeal to a court, it Ah ouldl estalulislla precedent off l'uit, fOr' .therl' lli-norities would step forth to claimthe right to rule. Tlhe right of 'themajority to rule rests upo-I its abil-ity to make good the mandlategiven by the electors. To maintainthe principle of the rule of the-majority, it is -necessary that thegovernment should be able to de-feat any effort of a mzinorityT to as-sumne control by force. To this elldconstitutional governments aregiven armies and navies.

In 1860 eleven states of theAmerican Union were dissatisfiedwith the results of the presidentialelection; and they appealed to thebullet. As the result of the CivilWar an unwritten clause sxas addedelto the -Constitution to the effectthat the ballot decides politicalquestions in the Unitedl States. Unl-fortunately, in many of thle Amer-ican republics, militant -minos itieshave been able to seize the govern-ment, so that chlalges- from olewparty to another take place, notas the result of elections, butthrough successful -revolutions. Inlthese countries the bullet andc notthe ballot decides political ques-Itions.

It would be difficult today to findany nation wshichl has not Hi ithin itsborders at least one minority partyplotting to establish a dictatorshipin order to put into effect its fav-orite theory of human government.

Red Armyr Larg-est on PlanetFor countries otller thanr their

own, Communists advocate total*.sarmament. WAllen confl ontedlwith the fact that Communist -na-tions are more hleavffy armed thanctaly ott1er, thely reply' that, "Ofcourse Commulnist nations musthave great armaments, because thecapitalistic nations wvouldl attackthem, if theyr wxere not hleavzily arm-ed." The fact is that Communistsare and byr i~ntentioll remain smallminority parties ill the countriesnwhere thley rule, so that Communistgovernments must llave great armn-aments in order to hold in checktheir discontent subjects. Theyblame the foreigner for their arma-ments. The Red Armyi todav is thela-gest on the planet. A great ma-jo~ity of the neations of the earthgauge the strellgtll of their armieson domestic needls. Russia undIoubt-edly is of tile number.

Thle right of a. minority to rule,like that of a majority, dependsupon force. The only difference be-twseen them is that thle task of tileminority is greater andl l equiresgr eater arniaments. The genel alov-erthrowx of existing g over nmneltsby Communisml w-ould mean a gen1-eral increase of armaments.

"Comnion Defense"One ofe the six reasons ,iveii in

the p~reamble for establislling tileConstitution is to "provide for thecommon defense." In Article TV-, itis made thle duty of thc U~ni~iedStates to "proteet eacll of ( theStates) against inv asionl." TlheUnited States does llOt dlesile anadditional foot of terr ito ry aily-Wh~ere.

wve all practising Christians, forex^ampule, our troubles would van-ishl, but somte of us have felt that"the first and last Christian wascrucified". Thus we must make thebest of a bad lot, have policemenand the PWPA, and urge Christian-ity on all. Similarly, wxe can urgepeace oll all and wave the magicwands of idealism.

But it may be saidthat the converse of this proposi-tionl has been tried and found woe-fully wanting. "Cooperate" must bebroadly interpreted.

Physics Classes ToTake Lab. Tour

Professor Wulff Leads GroupsThrough Five Research

Laboratories

Fifty members of Professor Wulff'sphysics class, composed of sophomoresin courses VI, ViIII, XIV, and XVIII,made a tour of five of the Institute'sphy sics research laboratories Wednes-day afternoon. The men were dividedinto five groups of ten men and eachgroup spent thirty minutes in each offiree research laboratories. Atfter thetour, which lasted from two untilfour-thirty, tea was served in theRjoore room the professors in chargeof each laboratory being present toanswer questions for the students. Soenthusiastic was the questioning thatthe party did not break up until sixo'clock.

The five laboratories visited wereIpectroscopy, Professor .Harrison;electronlics, Professor Nottingham;optics, Professor Hardy; X-Ray, Pro-:fessor Warren; radio-activity, cosmicrays, anid nucleus structure, ProfessorEvans. ;

Profess9or Wulff , w ho conducted asimilar trip with fifty other men aiveek ago Wednesday, believes thatthe tours are of great value in mak-ing men see the things they have beenhearing about in class, in showingthem the importance of basic laws inresearch, and in bringing home tothem the viital importance to engineer-ing and industry of the type of re-search the physicists are doing. Pro-fessor Wulff mentioned as an illus-tration of his last point that neu-troin,proton, and cosmic ray apparatuscould equally well be used to detectradium poisoning in people.

When interviewed concerning the*work on the phonograph, Harry Schec-ter, leader of the group, stated,"Nearly all the trouble arises from thecareless use of the phonograph andrecords. Before we install the r.lachineagain, w e should like to ascertain thatthere will be no repetition of therough treatment it has undergone."Just how this is to be done has not asyelt been determined. Perhaps a set ofdetailed instructions will be placed ina prominent position near the phono-graph. There is some doubt as to whenthe project will be completed, althoughan estimate of three weeks has beenmade.

In conjunction with the aork that isnow being done on the phonograph,Professor Pearson of the English De-partment announced that several setsof new records have been purchased.

QUESTION TODAY: "What is youropinion concerning the advantages ordisadvantages of the proposed All-Tech Peace Parley to be held on April27 ?"

Richard L. Odiorne, '36, IX-B, 52

Augustus Ave., Roslindale"I feel that the All-Tech Peace

Parley can help creating intelligentstudeht opinion on the war question.Moverents in the name of peaceamong undergraduates have too longbeen carried out on the level of thesoap box. This parle~Z will do well tobring about a well-informed, stimu-lating approach to the problem."

Elwood H. Koontz, '36, X, 28 Fenway

"It would appear that the proposedPeace Conference is a project in whichevery Tech student should he keenlyinterested. The opportunity to heardispassionate a n d well-informedspeakers discuss this erstwhile vitalsubject will be a boon to all thosethinking students who have more thana casual interest in the future of theirgeneration."Kenneth J. Arnold, '36, XVIII Sp.,

Dormitories"The proposed peace conference in-

troduces a most encouraging prospect.At a time when throughout the worldis heard only the 'melancholy, long,withdrawing roar of the sea of faith'in peace, the realization, by a groupof Tech men other than radicals, ofthe need and probability of a discus-sion of causes of war and means fortheir removal brings a new hope."George M. Leu, '37, X, 40 Blake Rd.,

Brookline"The Peace Conference is a move

truly to be met only with much praise.It is a method by means of which thesubject can openly attain a bilateralapproach. It is a means of subsidizingany radical movement that might beplanned and also a chance to allowthat faction to legitimately presenttheir opinions on the same plane asthose of more conservative organiza-tions."

Ralph D. Morrison, Jr., '37, XV-B,

133 Peterborough St."One of the chief reasons for the

failure of previous discussions of warand peace has been the confusing ofissues; debate on Bar, the R. O. T. C.,capitalism, radicalism, and other ail-ments have been mixed to the extentof nullifying charges and counter-charges. The value of the proposedmeeting should be apparent."

Charles F. B. Price, Jr., '36;, Ill,528 Beacon St.

"I have no confidence on the valueof mass meetings as a means of pro-rpoting anything based on logical Teas-oning. H~owever, a dignified gatheringcan do little harm to the cause ofpeace."

Scott C. Rethorst, '36, IX-B,528 Beacon St.

-this rally should make apparentthe erstwhile dormant view of thelethargic majority and it is well thatthe organization of student indorse-ment of world peace is being handledby more competent, conservative, andopen-minded people than formerly.The effect could be improved, however,if the lingering aroma of radical in-stigation were more completely neu-tralized."

Douglass Hawks, Jr., '36, XVIII,Dormitories

"T he proposed Technology PeaceConference is to be commended be-cause it will achieve two very desir-able ends. First, it will aid Tech stu-dents to obtain a better understandingof one of our most important socialproblems, and secondly, it will makea definite contribution to the cause ofpeace."

Grad Students RepairPhonograph In Walker

Plan To Rebuild Entire InteriorAlong Modelr Lines

Spurred on by the slow deteriora-

tion of the Walker phonograph, three

graduate students have taken it upon

themselves to put it into gool rull-ninlg order once more.

The phonograph has been on theborder of 'total collapse for manyweeks, but it was not until the threegraduate students in Physics, Harrys

Schecter, Leonard I. Schiff and M~issReina Albagli, took the situation illhand that anything was done. 'Theirfirst move was to see Mr4. Seaver, chieflibrarian, who referred them te Bur-sar Rhind, the latter having final ju-risdiction over the fate of the phono-

graph.When asked what he thought it

would cost to replace the phonograph,Mr. Rhind estimated an expenditure ofabout five hundred dollars. The gra-duate students promise to do the jobfor a much smaller sum than that.

Besides repairing the broken palesof the phonograph, the graduates in-tend to rebuild entirely the interior ofthe machine along more modern lines.While the old phonograph consistentmerely of a sound-box and horn, w-henrejuvenated it will sport a baffleboard,.new electrical crystal pick-up,

By Leo Weiss, ReporterIn a unique competition to be held

this morning, students from Profes-sor Magoun's seminar in Humanicsmet a team representing Yale's classin Industrial Relations. The object ofthe competition was to determinewhich of the two classes was betterable to handle a practical problem inhuman relations.

A student in his senior year at acommercial school, unknown to themembers of both teams, and supposed-ly seeking a position in a certain fair-ly large-sized corporation, will be in-terviewed separately by the membersof the teams, with the requisite thatthe teams must give a decision to hireor not to hire before twenty-five min-utes are up. There are three differenttypes of positions in this corporationwhich are to be filled. If the decisionis to 'nire the applicant for one of thejobs, the teams will be allow ed twominutes in which to consult as to thereasons for their choice. Should it bedecided that the applicant is unsuitedfor arty of the positions, it is not nee-essary to give 'any reasons.

An additional requirement is thatneither team receive any coachingf] om their professors or any othermembers of the faculty. However,tley are to be allowed to consult withbusiness men outside the Institute orUniversity theyr represent.

The competition originated Xwhene

Professor Magoun last year challeng-

Cowdrey, Professor Harold E. Edger-ton, Professor Charles M. Wareham,Professor John T. Norton, TheodoreE. Graves, Professor Archibald D.Fisken, and Warren J. Mead.

The subjects of the pictures are nu-merous, as are the types and sizes ofcamera used.

Included in the variety are Leica'sContessa Mettel, Kodak, Zeiss Ica-rette, Recomars, Rolleiflex, and ZeissIkomat. Landscapes of Sweden, Japan,United States, and Germany, por-traits, insects, cities, and ships havebeen caught by the cameras of thefaculty.

The student organizations to berepresented are as follows: Scabbardand Blade, Veterans of Future Warsand the American Student Union.

Professor Magoun now occupies theNickerson Chair of Humanics, former-ly occupied by Dr. Charles R. Gow,also of the Institute.

The courses offered by the twoschools and the competition of thismorning are the result of the increas-ing attention which has been given bythe colleges in recent years to offeringstudents some preparation in the artof human relations; not just psychol-ogy, or any technique for getting one'sown way, but an appreciation of someof the niceties of understanding andof correctly handling the various hu-man situations one inevitably meetsin industry.
