ONCE MORE THE PROFESSOR.

ONCE MORE THE f6OFEZSSOhs
The professor we have always with
us. This time he is A. "A. Berle, Of
Tufts College, Mass, with few A.

the rear end of his name. The great
reform which he has tackled is the
aboIishing of 'baby talk
Professor Berle says that it is all
wrong to permit children to indulge in
the kind prattle that Is usually asso-
ciated with the English language. AS
for parents and uncles and aunts who
encourage this pernicious practice by
talking to the baby in his own fashion.
he has only feelings of unmitigated
horror. He sternly admonishes all faith
ers and mothers that the fodder. from
the time he lisps his first word. should
be trained to SPEAK the English Ian
guage correctly.
OF course the professor is right.
Nothing could be more right than that
the English language should be spoken
correctly by those who use it. But evil
IDENTIFY there are some things he has not
taken into account. Suppose the baby
visiting his doting grandmother, should
suddenly extend his bottle toward her
for a minute in warm water. I find
that the temperature of the milk IS
too low for the gastric juices of the
stomach properly to perform their
functions upon it." That estimable old
lady would probably fall over with an
attack of heart failure or apoplexy.
Now the professor wouldn't want any
thing like that to happen.
And what of the spooners in the
parks? If Clarence were to talk to
Maude as Romeo did to Juliet, instead
of asking her right out: Whose little
tootsie wootsie is our any sparrow
cop within range would Immediately
hale him to Jail for examination in the
probate court.
1t is to be feared that if Professor
Berle perseveres in his crusade he has
a rocky road ahead of him AS for
the rest of us, We entertain the COM
Portable notion that the English Ian
guage, having long been in the habit
of taking care of itself, can still do so.

A SATURDAY SERMON.

Let another man praise thee. and not
thine own mouth: a stranger. and not thine
own lips. Proverbs XVII 2.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-05-18


Not infrequently. the remark is
heard: IF you don't speak a good
word for yourself, nobody will" But
it is the rankest sort of fallacy. At
best, it is the poorest kind of an
apology for self-praise. 1t must have
been uttered originally in jest. And
If some people take any stock in such
false philosophy as this, it furnishes
pretty good evidence that they belong
to that considerable class which is
not deserving of commentator for
anything
The fact of the matter is that every
act of a man or woman which is
worth while is nearly always accorded
the full praise by others to which it
is entitled. There are exceptions to
this rule, of course. just as there are
exceptions to all other rules. These
exceptions, however, are in the great
minority. People are inclined to be
generous with their praise, too gen.
erous in many instances. And while
it is often the case that an individual
who is deserving of praise does not
get it directly, the praise is given
on his way.
MOSI IOlh, loo, are wen aware lIldL
the man who is given to singing his
own praises is not often held in ex-
ceedingly high esteem. Indeed, if
much attention is paid to him it is of
the scornful variety. The braggart
is not welcome in any society, except
of his own kind. Nor is he likely to
be very popular even there because of
the competition and jealousy which
prevails. 1t is for these very good
reasons that every person should
strive to follow the advice given by
Solomon in the words. quoted above:
Let another man praise thee, and not
thine own mouth"
Nor does the man who INDUCES in
self-praise gain anything by it. Rath-
er does he lose. 1t does not help him
along in any of his activities. The
world knows full we'll that every
mans judgment of himself is sure to
be prejudiced and therefore faulty.
And the man who is forever harping
on who he is, what he is, what he
can do and how we'll he can do it, is
sure to be set down as a weak sister,
just as he deserves to be. Ruskin ex
pressed this thought tersely but force
fully when he wrote: "Conceit may
puff a man up, but never prop him
up
So the very futility of self-praise,
which is nothing but a spoken mani
festation of an unreasonable conceit,
should be plainly apparent to every
one. And being apparent, it should
be avoided.

Senator BeIIis, Committee Assignments

President Price, of the Senate, has
done well by Anne Arundel in the as
signments TO committees of Senator
Bells. and for a new member the lat
ter is placed where he can do most eff
fective work for his constituents. The
interests and Importance of this coun-
~ make il imperative that its Senator
should be a member of the committees
of the Senate having in charge iegisa-
tion Of Importance to it's people and
its industries, and we are glad TO see
that he has been placed on those bodies
which deal with the subjects of wide
spread interest ia which Anne Arundel
Is particularly concerned.
Senator Bells is made chairman of
the Committee on Public Buildings at
Annapolis. a place to which the county
is justly entitled. and in which the
Senator is qualified to render good ser
vice to the State. and to his own peo-
pie.
As member of the Committee on
Education. the choice of Senator Bells
is very fortunate, for ne not only IN
derstands and has an acquaintance with
many features and problems of our
public educational progress, but he has
strong convictions as to school admin
istrstion. He is a staunch advocate of
the betterment of the schools and of
increased efficiency in their work and
has stood firmly for more adequate pay
for teachers. which is the one thing
needed to raise the standard and work
of the teaching force. AS a bayside
county. Anne Arundel should have the
representation on the Committee on
Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries which
IL gets. and its prominence in TOBACCO
culture entitled it to the place on the
Inspections Committee. The Commit
tee on Executive Nominations, always
very important one. especially at this
time, is strengthened by the addition
of Senator Bells, man of fairminded
ness and accurate judgment. who may
be depended upon to uphold the best
standard in the public service. The
Committee on Finance of the Senate,
in the estimation of the general tax.
paying public. has the gravest duties
OF all to perform, and it is essential &c
the States welfare that its members
should be prudent, far-seeing men OF
business acumen.
In experience, training and mental
constitution, Senator Bells measures
fully up to the most exaeting require
ments TO this post. and his appointment
to Finance is eminently proper. He
will also serve on the Committees on
Temperance and Elections.
