After Experiences in Eu-
rope and Mexico.

Prof. Jesse Vera has returned TO
Notre Dame uni1 sity and will re
sumo his former position as teacher
of mathematics after an absence Of

where he was robbed by bands OF
revolutionists. and experienced great
difficulty in getting across the United
sta border

from Notre Dame. He has lived in
the quiet of a Dominican monastery
in Spain, has heard the roar of the
German guns in France, has been
hungry in the streets of London, and
has served as a cadet in the British
naval service
When the war broke out German
money became valueless in England
and it happened that, excepting for
two English shillings, the only money
Prof. Vera had was in checks of the
Hamburg American line. Later on,
an American in London cashed these
checks, but in the meantime thu
NOtre Dame professor was reduced TO
difficult straits. In his quiet way
Prof. Vera tells that at one time he
: expected to die of starvation, but that
death was so common about him the
prospect did not seem to hold any
great terror for him.

Europe because Of the war, being
held as prisoner at different times by

English, is reported back in New

correct and are the best examples we
have today.
Three Guiding Rules.
There are practically only three
guiding rules which we must follow
in speaking and writing English. They
are perspicuity, precision, and pro
priety. Perspicuity involves clearness.
The Bible is clear. Precision is def
initeness. A literature must be def
mite Then last there is propriety.
4 have heard Billy Sunday. Billy
Sunday uses prOpriety in his own tab
ernacle. Were | to dedicate a large
cathedral, I am not sure that l would
invite Billy Sunday TO speak at the
dedication. l don't believe he would
accept And if he did he would use
propriety. Billy Sunday is an orator,
just as Bryan is an orator. You hear
much of Sundays slang, of his ter
rible use of language. But when he
says you must turn around and go in
the other direction, or you will go TO
hell, he is clear. He is definite. He
tells you just where you are going.
when the reporters get through
with Sunday. they take a word here
and there and you read about the
slang he uses. But that is much diff
ferent from hearing him. In the tab
ernacle with the influence of the
crowd. and with his forcefulness, he
doesn't violate the rules of propriety
"All 1 ask, therefore, is that you
teachers be liberal. Teach your chill
dren the rules of writing and speaking
English. the three / have named and
do not try to lay down the uniform
standard of pronOuncing words, or
writing English. 1t is impossible 10
do this. There are many standards,
but THE standard is lacking"
Discusses Shakespeare.
DR.. a. b. Van Ormer in his lecture
Wednesday morning before the teach
ers' institute on Shakespeare =
Dramas as Psychological Source
Books" pointed out that great many
features of the present day psychOl-
Ogy Shakespeare incorporated into his
plays. From the window scene of
Romeo and Juliet" the speaker de-
clared that two of the laws Of re-
tention were forcibly pointed out.
They were. he said, regency and in
tensity The third factor in the men,
DRY, repetition. did not occur in this
one scene but could be found in a
number of other of Shakespeare s
choice bits of psychological insight
into human character.
