terrible dangers to society are just

dangerous disease and menace to
civilization.
Civilization is responsible for 1t, in
his opinion, and nothing but strenu-
Gus regime to enforce temporary
silences on those afflicted can stop its
dreaded ravages. And he urges hui
mainly to inaugurate a campaign
against verbosity just as it wages war
against tuberculosis and against ex-
cessive alcoholism.
Progress is decidedly hindered, he
goes on to say, by this prevalent vice.
and he urges the immediate attention
of the teacher and the minister and
the doctor. According to his theory.

without ideas in the mind of the
speaker.
