Hard to Improve On Prison
Site Selected By the Council

Letters received by the Times indicate
there is considerable misunderstanding
about the house Of correction site.
The house of correction is now. and
will continue to be primarily q manufac-
turing institution.
AS such, it must be situated near a
railroad. so that it may secure supplies
and ship its products easily.
The farm feature is secondary.
Those inmates who are not fitted for
work in the shops win do work on the
farm.
The land must also be near enough to
the city 80 that water and sewer facili-
ties can easily be obtained, and the cost
of transporting prisoners will be light.
The site which the common council has
accepted combines all these advantages.
Moreover, the land is likely to increase
in value with considerable rapidity. and
thus become q good investment for the
city.

Don't Be Ethnocentric.
~ n. ApOlNoToN BRUCE.

Some scientific students Of human nature are
making use nowadays Of the word "ethnocen-
the" II IL tongue-twisting word. but 1t has .
meaning q practical si.nincsncs 70 All o. U.s.
AZ defined by Professor Keller OF Yale. the
latest savant to bring Il into prominence, to be
ethnocentrfc means that person entertains
unduly exalted notions CONCERNING the superior
ity OF his particular set. community, or race TO
other groups and divisions Of mankind and IL
disposed to look on the latter with more or less
contempt.
This. unfortunately. Il failing to which many
people have been subject both In ancient and In
modern times. In antiquity II was perhaps most
strikingiy exemplined BY the Greeks. who TO
garded - barbarians and inferior beings AL
who could not speak the Greek language;
In our own day and land II u not unknown.
The contemptuous terms used by certain Of our
fellow countryment to designate Italians. 0reeks.

proof that we suffer to some extent from RACIAL
enthnocentricism.
In other ways also enthnocentricism 10 lamen-
tably In evidence among us.
II 10 all too plainly seen In the attitude Of
persons who because they possess much money,
superciliously everybody who is not circum-
stanced like them
Enthnocentricism Of this sort. or Of any SORT
10 TO be deplored. Not only does 1t create racial
ening social solidarity. but II also In stupendous
~ foolish.
II instantly stamps the ethnocentric person.
in the minds Of all thoughtful people. as an L.
noramus and snob.
II his ethnocentricism IL directed not against
his neighbors but against peoples Of other races.
he IL an ignoramus because his attitude shows
that he IL totally blind to the facts Of history.
What has become Of the ethnocentric Greeks
of antiquity. with their supreme contempt for
other peoples, Their ethnocentricism itself was
indeed, powerful factor in their downfall, for
II prevented them from benenting by intelligent
study Of the qualities. achievements, and aspira-
tons of the races they deemed inferior
As to the man who II ethnocentrfc with re-
gard to his neighbors, he IL an ignoramus. and
IN to be pltied as well an condemned. because he
cuts himself OF from really profitable contact
with his fellow men.
The larger q mans circle Of friends and &C
Quaintances. the more freely he mingles with
other men of every walk and condition, the bet
ter his chances Of selfdevelopment. For every
one Of can learn something from every other
one OF US.
We are all travelling the same road in life
and we are travelling II with much the same
natural endowments But we all have different
experiences
Through these we each of US gain something
which others do not gain. The more freely we
interchange the acquisitions Of individual exper-
fences, the better for us and for our nation.
Don't be ethnocentric. then. Instead, be truly
DEMOCRATIC.
