Distinctions IN slang.

iEditorially commenting upon the
subject, an eastern newspaper de-
clares that the college girl takes to
slang with more enthusiasm than
she takes to quadratic equations OF
the investigation Of Greek verbs.
Or at least that Is the conclusion
drawn from an interview recently
given by the editor OF the wellesley
News. She acknowledged that she
herself used slang, because, as she
explains, 81 just can't help 1t at coll
lege," and she acknowledges that
neither fines nor penalties have re-
suited in suppressing such express
sions as Cut 1t out" or ''The dick
ems you say or Il am Just wild
about that" or II am Just crazy
about this etc, and SO on. But
the editor of the wellesley News is
emphatic in the statement that "vul-
gar slang is not used at Wellesley"
To illustrate just what she means
by vulgar slang, she mentions ooh,
you kid" and declares that welles-
ley girls who would use that sort
of slang are decidedly in the minor
Ity.
1t is regrettable that the Wellse-
ley editor did not mention a few
more yulgarisms in slang, continues
the eastern newspaper, SO that the
average individual who is anxious for
light and learning in choosing his
slang might have some reliable au-
thority upon the question And why
is toh. you kid" a vulgarism and
1.-The dickens you say" not vulgar
ism? The last mentioned phrase is
rather ancient-is It age that gives
1t respectability? The popular taste
really needs enlightening and guild
ing in the use Of slang and there is
fino opportunity for some sweet girl
graduate (by the way is Sweet girl
graduate" Objectionable slang to the
upper class college woman?) to
write an essay in which the distinc-
tons in slang usage shall be nicely
drawn. Slang has constantly en-,
riched the language, but we must
not have too many slang vulgarisms
incorporated,

High price Theories.

"A writer in the Review of Re-
views, who claims to have given
considerable investigation to the
high cost of living question, is con-
WINGED that the cost Of living in
Europe, when it is upon the same
level of convenience and comfort as
in the United States; is Just as great
as 1t is in this country. When living
is cheaper in Europe 1t is cheaper
because of the mode of life and not
because of cheaper sustenance. An
other item which lessons the cost OF
living in Europe is the cost of SER
vice. That is very important item
and service is much cheaper in all
European countries than in the
United States. This service cost, it
must be remembered, touches the
food cost at good many points; in
the growing, in the transportation,
in the preparation for table use and
finally In the delivery at the kitchen
door and the cooking.
This is confederation of theory
that has been entertained by nu-
merous other investigators of the
subject. 1t is in direct conflict with
the theory SO often advanced of late
that protective tarff system is the
cause of a higher cost of living
for, If commodities in foreign coun-
tres are as dear as they are in this
country, of what avail would be a
radical change of the tariff system
unless 1t is proposed to lower the
standard of American living? The
Baltimore American figures it out
that this places some of the would.
be tariff doctors of this country in
a dilemma, as follows:
1t is the fashion just now by such
expouhdeFs as DR.. Woodrow Wilson
to insist that a protective tariff is
the one and only cause of high
priced beefsteaks and the rise oil
food commodities. If that is so the
! doctor will have some trouble rub
bling his tariff reform ideas in or
the farmers of the United States IN
case he should happen to be put in
the presidential running at the Bal
timore convention. But as mat,
ter of fact, foods have gone up since
the tariff rates went down. The
Payne tariff is upon a lower average
than the Dingley tariff aud the
Dingley law lowered the rate preva'

Teaching GOOD WIN.

Warfare ts to be ended for all
time, at least 50 Tar as the United
States is concerned, and the stand
ard Of citizenship in this country Is
to be put on higher plane than
ever before, by a course Of study in
good will which is devised for the
elementary schools throughout this
country. Such, At least, is the hope
of those who have formulated the
course, A complete outline Of the
topics covered in this new school
subject is contained in government
publication just issued for free dis.
tribution by the United States Blu
reau OF Education.
In the lower grades, according to
the Bureau of Education's mono
graph, the child Is trained in habits
of forbearance, consideration, gen
tleness and self-control, while in the
later grades emphasis is laid upon
the principles of the world peace
movement.
Thus in the frst grade the child
learns the treatment he should give
his companions and pets. The sec
ond grade deals with home life; the
third, with school and play time,
while the fourth takes up the home
town or city. In grade five the
course broadens to include consid-
GRAFTON of the whole country; in
the sixth, the child takes up good
citizenship; in the seventh he
studies the world family, and in the
last he learns what the larger pa
triotism means.
In this way the child grows up in
the understanding that the good will
which he must show his friends and
parents should also be extended to
all the inhabitants of the earth, He
begins by learning that he must be
kind to animals and playmates be-
cause he is in constant relations with
them; then he comes to understand
that all nations should be at peace
with all others, because all nations
are interdependent; and this finally
leads to the last topic in the whole
long course-the united world.
The moral qualities essential to
the world peace movement, such as
faithfulness,. generosity, gratitude,
hospitality, Nfair play, honesty, and
consideration for others, are en-
phasized. The practical operation
of these qualities in the field of
world politics is shown effectively
by consideration of such questions
as: How can we help our eommu-
nifty? How can we serve our coun-
try? What have other nations given
us? What are our obligations to
them? What are the effects of war?
What are the moral substitutes for
war? who have contributed most
to civilization? And why?

The sweeping victory of Roosevelt in
