THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
By Rev. Chas. H. Parkhurst, D. D.

A boy can learn more true history and get
more of the atmosphere of the period by
sitting down for three hours before the
film which Mr.. Griffith has produced with
such artistic skill, than by weeks and months
Of study in the class room.
This drama is a telling illustration of the
POSSIBILITIES Of motion pictures as an instru-
ment Of instruction in History.
The criticism that it exhibits the Negro
in an unfortunate light and that it is cal
culated to engender racial animosity is fully
met by the consideration that it's represents
the Negro, not as he is now at all, but as
he was in the days when he had just had
the chains broken from him, and
when he was riot;ng in the deliciousness Of
liberty, SO new and untried that he had
not yet learned to understand it and was
as ignorant baby of the way to use
it. 1t is in this respect exactly true to
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1915-10-22

1t is not apparent what are the grounds
Of the objections urged against it, nor
what is the animus Of those who are schem-
ing to have the exhibition prohibited by
Court proceedings.
The National Board Of Censorship has
approved it and when assault was made con-
vened again and reaffirmed their approval
The popular endorsement which the play has
since received by the thousands who are
seeing it daily will require more than small
prejudices of moral eccentricities to dis
turb. In the meantime efforts to suppress
it are thus far successful in nothing so
much as in giving it wider and more re-
munerative publicity.
The intimate familiarity which Mr.. Da
vid w. Griffith has shown with the events
of the Reconstruction Period along with
the detailed scholarly study which he has
made Of the wider territory Of events which
the play covers renders the production one
of surprising educational value to those who
were either young children still or even un-
born in the stirring years of go to 10.

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and title a thousandfold,
Is healthy body, mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for neighbor 8 VICE.
And share his joys with genial glow
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers-is better than gold
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in humble
sphere;
Untried by the lust or cares of wealth;
Doubly blest with content and health.
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor man 8 cot;
For manners and morals on natures plan
Are the genuine test of gentleman.

j Dear Madam:-We are making
. plant disease survey of the state
IN order to learn what diseases are
yresent, their distribution, and
economic Importance. We need tc
know this In order to be able to
answer the many inquiries which
we are daily receiving concerning
the cause and control of various
diseases.
In addition to my connection
with the College as teacher, 1 am
also connected with the ExperI-
ment Station as plant pathologist.
It Is Ia this connection that I am
50 anxious to get Information con
cerning the diseases which are
prevalent here. This is a phasesof
experiment station work which
has been almost entirely neglected
In this state. and l am attempting
to develop It. Some states have
large number of men engaged 10
this work exclusively, New York
having more than twenty men.
Now this state Is more truly and
essentially an agricultural state
than New York, and our climatic
conditions are more favorable for
the growth and development of the
fungi which produce plant diseas-
es. This will indicate to you the
value of such work here aud the
necessity for doing.it.
1 want to get your help In this
matter. We can be mutually help
ful II you will assist me. You
come into very close touch with
the growers In your territory and
you know the existing conditions
better than anybody else, If any
grower In your eoanly is having
trouble with some plant disease he
will come to you for help. If you
will refer him to me. I will be
glad to write him or you about the
nature of the disease and control
for 1t. 1 urge yOu to take this
matter up and cooperate with me
10 this much needed work.
Yours truly,

Pure English

What constitutes 'pureness" in using English is question that has been d source of much so,I,b- tling. Most of the doubts which obscure the matter for many persons will be dispcled by the vigorous liberal spirited and sensible remarks on subject made ny Brander Matthews, in the March number of Harpers Magazine. He deplores the suhservence oi some writers to arbitrary rules laid down by Glammarians and rhetoricans, and notes that the refined taste of the educated always likely to be more appfeciative of the absence of defects than of the presence of what is and original"
 In that there is doubt a great deal of truth Professor Matthews is right in co,lemnng those vho let artificial standards restrict their use of Ian suage and right in saying that the English tongue should avail itself of its innnemorial privilege of from all sorts of languages ancient and modern give us word with meaning for which there is English equivalent, there is no reason in the world why should appropriate that word
 But, Professor Matthews points out a word is English it isn't. It is the height of bad taste to employ word and permit it retain it's foreign recuIartes. If going the French word "rsque' should have no quams about spelling it risky If chauffeur and garage" have to stay, let us quarrel with those who use "ciawfure' and "Saradge. These accommodations shock the of those slightly acquainted with French. But will become used to them A good lue seems to to avoid adopting foreign words until is that they are needed; but orce ac- ccpted, to let them be treated as wholly and alto gether English One has no right to assume that his readers listeners are familiar with half d dozen foreign tongues.

The winds of March will shortly blow the whiskers from your face, and fill your eyes with sand. An, then you ought to smile and sing. and chortle all day long, for winds like those besreak the Spring, the rose. the thrushs song. What il the zephyr takes your tile, and rolls it through the town, and you pursue it mile on mile, until you run it down? What if the zephyr splits your coat, and slams you through a wall. and soils your parasol? It is the hamburger or Spring, it ushers in the day when biddies chuck and jaybirds sins. and all the world is gay. Oh, blow your blamedest, wind of March. get busy. vernal breeze, and bend thc elm and rend the larch, and other brands of trees, brace myself against a post, and cry "Oh, wind inspired. the season that We love the most. will come when you are tired, Exert yourself, and m@ke things hum. oh, woozy wind. blow on, For soft and balmy days will come, when you are spent and gone" The March wind whistles, howls and shrieks, throughout the dismal day and knocks the side boards from my checks, and blows my wig away.
