VALUE OF FINE ARTS
TO A NATION.
LORD THOMSON DESCRIBES THE MODERN WARRIOR.
A MECHANICAL AGE.
A comparison between the modern warrior and his counter- part of forty years ago was made by Lord Thomson in a speech at the Royal Academy Banquet in London when he said the men of to-day had a different outlook and were
capable of controlling their nervous system under parti- cularly appalling circumstances. They were citizens who had adopted a great profession and were prepared and anxious to live up to their high calling.
London, May 4.
The banquet at the opening of the Royal Academy was held lust night and there was the usual dis- tinguished assemblage. Replying to the toast of the Royal Family, the Duke of York expressed the opinion that efforts to improve the conditions of life in the great in- dustrial centres must start from the belief that ordinary health and contentment

In fact, no refinements of civili sation can be built where there is no stability of wealth without the general welfare of people.
Fine arts, he said are pernaps, the surest sign of genuine civilisa- tion and the greatest memorial that a generation can leave behind it. Of the educational value of art there can be no doubt.

Manila, May 1.
The summer session of the University of the Philippines was thrown into an uproar yes- three terday when more than hundred students were dismiss- ed from classes by Professor Jose Teodoro, Assistant Direc~ tor, failure to comply with the regulation demanding uniform dress.
The students protested against the decision and the regulation which compels them, in the interest of economy, to appear in class in costumes made of heavy white cot- ton cloth, but when interviewed last night, asserted that they saw no course open to them except to obey the order.
Professor's Order.
Professor Teodoro determined last week to enforce the uniform dress regulation. He sent a cir- cular to all instructors ordering that students appearing in class in any but regulation clothing should be marked absent, and dismissed from class.
The days continued warm, but no such absences were' reported to the eagle-eyed Director. In the meantime he had observed atudents [sitering about the corridors in organdie frocks and other garments better suited to the present weather condition than the so- called "suffocation jackets" which are prescribed.
Dismissal Fiat.
He determined therefore, to take matters into his own hands, and yesterday morning he made a per- ZENETELE Asonal inspection of all classes, and ordered instructors to dismiss all

Students' View.
The students, on the other hand, point out that the regulation cloth- ing is entirely unsuited to periods of hot weather such as have obtain ed for the past few days, and thut they feel justified in attending classes in more sensible apparel.
The uniform dress law, which
was proposed by Representative Hernando of Ilocos Sur and passed in 1928 has always been a source of contention. Its purpose is to preclude the possible expenditure of large sums on personal wardrobes, but its total effect, according t the students is simply a maximum of good looks.
It has been vigorously assailed by students and many faculty men- bers, but Its repeal has not yet been possible. Every attempt at its en- forcement has been met with pro- test but yesterday is the first time that students have been actually dismissed for non-compliance,
