At the St. James Theater this weekwve find the stock company presenting"It I Was Rich," a clever comedywhicl is quite witty throughout. Theauthor has combined the old story ofcommon people trying to act cultured,with a dash of mystery, and a reallyplausible plot.

Main parts in the play are ratherwefl taken, especially those of theyoung couple, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling,portrayed by Day Manson, ain Kath-

UNDERGRADUATE EFFICIENCY

IN TIHE opinion of Dr. 21iller, dean of the University of California,collce studentls'beal a close resemblance to the flivvers they ride

around in. Thev- accomlplish Iuost even they are wvalrmel up) andgoin- full speed. Unlike so many of those echo generalize aboutthe collegiate Tvorld he has figures to back up his statements. In thegro-up) of about trio thousand students wihich he studied he foundthat those who carriecl the laraest number of hours of scholasticwrork and lolre than one outside branch of activities or athletiesmaintained as a whole the highest scholastic standing.

Althouah stah statements ale quite common, particularly amongthe undergradiuate activities at the various colleges, it is seldomthat such relpresent;ative statistics are given. - Iiowever, the criticsof sueh statements frequentlv say that it is the smarter students wvhoare the ones whlicl go in for activities and that their records -Nouldbe far mlzore brilliant if they were not carrying the estra burden ofoutside activities, athletics, or work.

As far as ca11 be learned from practically all those wTlo are ac-quainted faith wlderlglduates there is little difference in the innatecapabilities of both classes of students. The major difference seemsto rest in the ability wNvhich students carrying the larger amount ofwr-olk lave found it necessary to cultivate, namely the ability touse their time more efficiently. Efficiency is seldom thought of bymost people in comiection wvith anything besides machines and largebusiness enterprises. Butl in reality it is equally essential to everyindividual if he wrishes to do good wtork and still have time for thelig hter and l ore pleasant things of life.

It is qcueer that this, wehiclh is so important ill the sucecess of anJTedicational system? is given so little attention. Each student isleft to wolk it out for hilmself and only those wsho have extra wolskcto flit into their tarenti--four hours a day are given any incentive tofinal it. Comutless professors in every institution of the land claimthat their students for the most part do not knowr ho-r to study, butfever of them do anuthino about that deficienc-\. Whoever can finda satisfactolor method of teaching students howi· to use their wsrorlk-time mnore (fficientlh- v-ill do education a great service, but iaitilthat time extraa-curlriular activities will be the collmonest, metllholof ealearing it.

Coach Hedluncl Plans SpecialMeet for Ineligibles

Early in Mway

Af ter practicing constantly for thelast three weeks the track team of theCardinal and Gray will get a chanceto display its wares on Saturday whenthe first handicap meet of the Springseason takes place. The cinder trackis finally in good condition and every-thing points towards a fast and close-ly contested meet.

Practically every one of the regularevents will be held and every studentat the Institute will be eligible to com-pete. A scarcity of candidates for thefield events will give every entrant,Ihowever weak, a chance to show togood advantage.

Coachl Oscar Hedlund is creating aninnovation at the track house in theform of arranging for a special meetthat will be for ineligibles only. Asyet no date has been announced bultit is expected that it will come latein April or the first week ill May.there are about twenty students atpresent who leave been reporting reg-ularly at the track hotlse, but are in-eligible, under the transfer ruling, totake part in Varsity meets. Byr OsHedlund's plan, which is something de-cidledly new in college circles, thesemen will be given a chance to displaytheir ability -in a meet restricted en-tirely to themi.

fInd him leading a tribe of Arabsagainst their neighbors.

The book is a rare combination oftravel and romance. To the reviewerBlack Ships was more interesting asa book of travel and description thanas fiction. The author gives vividand detailed description of the citiesin the hot section of the world, andthe hardships of travel of a whiteman. He fails to desc ibe the usualrich class of natives and spends histime among the class folded along awaterfront. The book has well servedits purpose, for it forcefully bringsforth a weird, mysterious atmosphereof the orient, blue skied nights, ablack ship in port, "hard" crew handsalong the water front, at a distancedismally lighted shacks, with ques-tionable-looking Japanese or whitewomen by the open windows.

E. L. W.

The many tense moments are welldone. The cast of the play seems tobe exceptionally well-chosen and trueto type, all of them conforming to thelocal color of the play which is provin-cial German.

feature is in its clear and distinct por-trayal of character. Every major char-acter is so accurately drawn withoutthe use of long and tedious descrip-tions that they would easily be recog-nized if ever met. It is this featuretogether with the author's ease of ex-pression and excellent choice of wordswhich makes the book enjoyable. Incommon with most books of its classit would not please the Boston PoliceDepartment but there is no more ofthe sensual than is necessary for theaccurate portrayal of characters whothough far from perfect are far frombad.

IBLACK SHIPS

BLACK SHIPS, by R. S. Thomas.New York; Brentano's. $2.00.

The coast of India and the islandsin the Indian Ocean have always hada weird, romantic air attached tothem. It is probably due to some ofKipling's poems that Eve always pic-ture the water fronts of these portsas being infeste d with the "hardestdives" in the world. Mr. Thomaschose such places as his field of work-,when he set out to write Blac7k Ships.Such places as Tony Silver's, Monltag-ni's at Singapore, and the Light ofAsia are the background for his work.

He takes a young American, putshim through about a decade of lifein these "low white cafes," makes himthe terror of Singapore, brings himback to Enropean respectability, findshe is totally dissatisfied with his newlife, and must finally return him toSingapore. The adventures of theyoung American equal that of Ulys-ses. He is constantly moving, travel-ling from one corner to the other ofAsia; once he is a musician in acafe, then an accountant on a planta-tion, then a stoker, and finally we

the Boston American as a sports-writer. The Advisory Council gave itshearty sanction to the reorganizationof baseball at the Institute.

A recommendation to have the cap-tains of the various sports turn in areport of advice and comment to hissuccessor was considered. It wasthought that this idea might eliminatemany of the problems which presentthemselves to the inexperienced cap-tains at the first of the season.

Stringent training rules for thecrews were submitted to and approvedby the Council. These new rules in-clude the refraining from tobacco andliquor, no dancing except by permis-sion, and no unexcused absences fromthe training table, from three weeksbefore the first race of the particularcrew for which the man is a candidateuntil after the last race of the seasonf or that crew.

Dr. Allan W. Rowe '01 asked themanagers present to choose 10 athletesas physically fit as call be f ound inthe Institute for data for experimentsupon hearing which he is now makiii.In previous experiments of a similarsort, but qualitative rather than exact,it was found that among the personstested the members of thle Harvardfootball squad had the most acutehearing.

Commencinlg with Beethoven's Son-ata quasi una fantasia in three move-ments, Mr. Whiting- rendered a seriesof difficult compositions.
