Newspapers and History.

Yet one cannot, from the standpoint
Of future history-wrltIng, reckon the
value of ths newspaper OF today in
terms of the unwieldly bulk Of its
materials And despite garish coloring
aud distorted perspective the daily
newspaper does reflect life and make
history IN a sense that is true of it
alone; all the more, perhaps, for the
exaggerated emphasis it puts upon
news as news and for the often absurd
category OF its classification.

THREE WORDS A DAY.
Will Soon Make You Proficient in Any
Foreign Language.

"It doesn't require any great
length of time to learn a language if
one has patience" said a man who
has mastered several languages, to
a New Orleans Times-D Democrat re-
porter, "and when / hear a man re-
greet that he is not able to speak
French, German, or Spanish, or some
other language unknown to him l
cannot conceal my amusement. In
nine cases out Of ten | might say that
the men who express a regret Of this
sort handle English very poorly if
that happens to be their language.
The chances are that their voeabu-
laries are extremely limited and it
would probably surprise them to
know that despite the advantages of
birth and education they could not
command more than 900 OF 700 words
in English if their lives depended
upon it. Yet they are able to carry on
an intelligent conversation, andmany
Of them may become forcible, and
even automatic in their sayings, and
they plunge into discussions of liter
allure, art. music and other subincte
OF such fine elegance, and do it rather
successfully too. Now how long
ought it to take a man to learn 5000
700, or even 1900 words in any Ian
guage? Certainly it ought rot to
take any great length of time, and
from my own experience know that
it does not. Of course, | am not

what they meant. That would give
