STUDENT IGNORANCE
College students may know a good deal about a th let
ics, and even a good deal gleaned from text-books, but
they are incredibly sbv of general information. This fact
is revealed anew by the New Republic, which 1ms been
asking questions of a group of students in a representative
nniversitv.

They were not trick tpiestions. Most of them were
such as might be readily answered, one would suppose, by
any jierson who lias done a moderate amount of general
reading, either in books or newspapers, even if he never
went to college or high school.
Oliver Cromwell, we discover from this questionaire,
was m ealy a prohibitionist. E dison’s claim to greatness
is his ability to do without sleep. Cervantes discovered
America. The Yosemite is in North Carolina. Martin Lu
ther was a liotanist.

I t is not unfair* either, to pick out these blunders.
The answerers’ minds were full of blank spaces. Only 38
out of 100 knew who Bernard Shaw was, and only eight
knew who wrote the “ Inferno.”
Native ignorance surpassed alien ignorance. No
native American got more than 89 per cen t The highest
percentage of accuracy, 98, was att^iged.,hy a Slav, the
next-lug-hest by a Russian.
It almost looks as if the greatest work of Edison was
liis exposure of the ignorance of college men.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON,
Eugene.— ( Special)— Jaaa h a *
done much to encourage the un
derstanding and appreciation of
music, according to Louis P. Ar
tau, Instructor of piano In the
school of mualc, because the pop
ular music is taken mostly from
classic compositions.
“Thanks for the Buggy Ride,”
for Instance, was taken from
Madam Butterfly, Mr. Artau
pointed out.
Many writers of
Jazz, however," know very little
about music, Mr. Arlau, believes.
Irving Berlin, he said, picks out
his melody on the piano and has
someone write the harmony and
themes for him.
"It is hard speculate as to what
■is coming out of jazz,” Mr. Artau
said. “Many gpod musician* are
writing cheap jazz for the money
in it-" If some big musician were
to start writing jazz we might
get a distinct American type of
music from it. Jazz are no form
yet. The choruz is the whole
thing
It is simply a verse fol
lowed by a chorus of 82 measures
or sub-divisions thereof.”
“Many''ihlnk. that jazz is an
outgrowth of the war period.
Personally, I do not view it that
way,” Artau declared. “It has
come from the old sentimental
ballads, ragtime, Hawaiian mu
sic, and Oriental music?* They
