CALLS MIR. WILSON'S
DICTTON PURE ENGLISH
DR.. Felix e. Shelling Declares
the Presidents Recent Ad-
dress to Congress an In
tellectual Treat 4
CLEARLY EXPRESSED

Tho quality Of President wilson's Eng
llsh IS now proverbial, and now taken
as a matter Of course by the great mass
OF thinking people in the United States,
who look eagerly for an intellectual treat
with each OF his public utterances, re-
gardless Of their theme, or whether there
is a full accord with and belief In their
logic, according to DR.. Felix e. schell-
ing, professor OF English literature at
the University of Pennsylvania, and an
authority upon the English language
Speaking today of the scholarly quality
of the Presidents English, as exemplihed
in his message to Congress, Doctor Schell-
Ing said:
when President Wilson delivered his
initial personal address to Congress on
March 5, 1913. I was deeply impressed with
the fact that his diction perfectly clothed
his thought. In each and every one OF his
public utterances this scholarly quality
has been 80 evident as to make the read
ing Of anything composed by tho Presl-
dent a genuine intellectual treat, whether
or not ope agrees with the policies he ad-
Vocates.
II remember that for time It was the
practice to deride the Presidents LAM
guage from the perspective of its quality.
This sort OF criticism was, fortunately,
not general. but emanated from the few
to whom can be applied the old saying as
to fools condemning that which they do
not understand. Happily. we now hear
no more OF It.
