slightly "crack ed" but still retained
the old time ring. --"

Changing the Language

IN Hamburg society has been formed for
1 the purpose of eXpunging from the Ger
man language all words having anything in
common with English French. Which is
nice job, as it substitutes "kopfwasch Ell"
for "shampooing," "haarkrauseln" for Gun
dulation" and "handpfege" for manicure"
These and other words that can be said
without gargling have grown popularity into
German, and have been as convenient for
the tourist as beef and beer without
which many sightseer might easily starve or
die of thirst
And yet there is something to be said for
expunging such words, since they do not be-
long. The pity is that the expunging can
not purify some Of our ossh polsglot tongue.
For instance. the Hamburg society would do
us fine turn If it should begin an American
revolt against mportations from the Barbary
Coast and the Bowery into the parlors of
American homes, via moving picture songs,
dance hall conversation and street talk An
old-fashioned parent would have difficulty i'm
understanding the smart" conversation of
modern children.

with this problem. wherein the preservation
of the race is mixed up with pedagogics.
When our turn comes one part OF public
opinion will hold that maternity is undeniaby
glorious thing--the supreme manifestation
of human energy and self-sacrifce; SO
splendid. indeed. that the mother should be
left free to take care of her offspring and
not have her mind distracted by the extreme.
ly arduous occupation of teaching school,
Those that think this way will also point out
that mother with an infant cannot give that
full attention to pupils in the classroom that
primary education demands.
On the other hand, there will not be found
wanting feminists to declare that nobody
who has not had child Of her own is, quail
fed to instruct young children; that bearing
child is very fine thing, and that. by rea-
son of that undeniable truth. such per-
Torrance must immensely enhance the value
OF a teacher
The argument will cbb and flow here as
in New York. and it will leave a bewildered
male majority stubbornly holding to the view
that it cannot possibly be conducive to teach
ing efficiency for teacher to be distracted
by so tremendous an event as the production
and raising of babe.

The Value of Prayer

7 Asst Sunday, without respect to differ
Il ences in creed forms of worship,
many thousands Of American men and women
assembled In consecrated places to supplicate
the Almighty at time of the greatest world
agony that has been known since the Dark
Ages
This would appear to be a refutation of the
theory that prayer and supplication are worn
out and offer nothing to the sophisticated
child of the twentieth century. who has seen
the wonders Of applied science and esteems
himself supreme lord of creation The fact
probably is that there are more truly devout
persons living to-day than ever before in the
history of the world.
we assume that President Wilson will be
conceded TO be in the front rank Of the ex-
ponents of modern culture. He is as far re-
moved from superstition as he is from ignor-
ance Yet 1t was he that suggested day of
supplication, and ii was his suggestion that
was reverently adopted by 30 many Of his
countrymen. The day OF prayer will not
end the European horror but it has eased
the hearts and cleared the minds of the Amer
lean people. which is the high purpose of a
sincere address to the Force that controls
human life.
