"Of Wine, Wine, Wine"

From the New lor. Tribune.
DR.. Ferrero. who has found a way or
making ancient history sound 50 modern
and entertaining that one does not know
whether to turn 10 il or 10 the news
papers for the latest sensation. Let the
people OF Boston see, the other day. that
Horace was. after all. only sort OF early
"Spotless Town" poet. OF the Horatian
odeS he said:
THE effect Of them on the Roman peo-
rle-not only The men but also tn" WON
en-was to make item great wine drink
erS. and they also induced their friends
70 drink. Practically all Of the iitcra
ture Of that day was written TO promote
the wine industry. The oirs o. Horace
ware not written in striving for literary
merit. but for u commercial reason.
Whether the brand for which Horace
wrote, the Falernian. was worthy 81 lis
poetic praise not matters little
poetical ''ad writers should have some
leeway-for the wine Industry. in Or.
Ferrero's opinion. was well worth all the
classical literature" that was written 10

monarchical fern of government. all
opinions that il was Julius Caesars old
Roman Tammany Hall that brought
about the change TO tie contrary not

grain. annual plant. she could afford
to have revolution as often as South
America has one today. but when She

To grow. she must needs have stable
government. With wine came wealth and
culture. The wine trust could afford IN
pay for whole corps OF poets. and Rom"
became the intellectual capital of the
world. just as France today is the vine
growing country Of the world and Paris
the center OF the highest type of culture.
France is modern Italy and Paris is the
newer Rome. and wine has contributed 10
the elevation OF the former no less than
to the ancient grandeur of the latter.
But Horace that old writer Of the OBJ
scure ADS" of mellow Faernan which
still drive men to drink. will surely have
his revenge. Some Ferrero 2.ppD years
hence, will say that the present FerrerO
wrote his history of Rome and came 10

proportions.

lips or to make sounds. it would be a
hard task. but in addition to that the
teacher shows them how to count. how to
read, how to spell, how to write and eV-
erything else that is taught in the first
few grades of ordinary schools. Is it DIFF
ficult? The results seem to say that the
work is easy, but 1t is a very long, ardu-
Gus climb.
The reporter saw one class of begin
ners grouped about the teacher. They
were receiving an hours instruction in ar
ticulation. The teacherssaid to one very
small boy:

he sprang up with all the >pent-up en-
ergy of a schoolboy who wants to show
off The teacher said he could hear abso-
lutely nothing.
Thank you very much,' the reporter
said. and the child looked embarrassed.
John, what do you say" asked the
teacher.
He squirmed around for moment and
then said:
You're welcome"
And he was born with the sense of hear
ing absolutely lacking, and had never
been able to speak a single word until
the teacher had toiled and toiled to show
him how
Now he did not say You're welcome

And to read all those journals and find
that every single days weather condit ions
are faithfully recorded one would think
that they We're all training for jobs in the
weather bureau, for there has not been
a cloud or drop of raid nor ray OF sun
shine that has escaped recording.
There are other classes in which some OF
the students are expert lip readers. Mind
You. this has nothing to do with the coll
lege at Kendall Green. but is merely
story OF the very lowest classes The
college is different story entirely. In one
class a girl not much over sixteen talked
with the reporter, and after she had be-
come accustomed to his style Of enuncia-
ton she was very much at home.
Al the end of each school day the pupils
go to chapel and one of the teachers
prays. using the sign language. The
teachers at Kendall Green believe thor
oushly in the use of the sign language
in its proper pace: that is. in developing
the mind before speech is acquired, i'm
conveying general information and es-
pecially in giving religious and moral in
struction. The prayer is not easy To trans
late. for it is not spelled out on the
fingers. but each motion of the hands or
arms indicates a word or perhaps a whole
idea Probably no two people would
translate the prayers in exactly the same
words.
And after that they troop downstairs
to play. No one would notice at n dis
lance that the happy children running
around the grass are deaf and dumb.
They are bursting with fun and cannot
possibly keep still, and. indeed are as
other little ones.
