LOST IN TRANSIT

Our most American humor appears
in unexpected places. At such times
ii is, of course, more humorous.
The judge in a literary contest sees
much of this humor. The story of the
judge who refused to Judge after
reading the first sentence of one entry
is too common. And "the morning
the day the ball was to be that night"
seldom "dawns auspiciously" for the
author of this unintentional humor.
Sometimes, however, the dawn is
auspicious, and the climax of this un-
usual humor comes in the accented
manuscript. For instance, take this:
Her hand flew to her heart, and her
heart went to her throat"
Now it is bad enough to say that the
heroine's hand goes to her heart and
ner heart is in her throat, but for the
hand tc miss connection, so to sneak.
when sign of great emotion is OBJ
perfume, is worse.
Seemingly, things other than ex-
press and freight are lost in transit.

THE MOMENTUM OF EDUCATION

In its advance through the ages
education has acquired considerable
momentum. Education has become ;
force for education. 1t is paradoXica
but true that the more a man know:
the more he realizes how little ht
knows, how poor a master he is of the
vast treasures of knowledge which the
universe implies.
II has not been long when even a
ward school education placed a man
upon a footing superior to that of his
less fortunate competitors in the
struggle for existence. Then. when
practically everyone had ward
school education, came the natural de-
mand for a higher education, an edu-
cation that would make man filter to
survive. The high school resulted. In
the natural course of events, the de-
mand and need for still higher edu-
cation caused the rise of the univer-
SIty. The momentum acquired in
seven or eight years ward school
course carried the student into the
high school; the additional accelera-
tiCn acquired in the four years of high
school carries many away to colleges
and universities.
/. is an unfortunate arrangement
of the ordinary school year that much
Of the momentum is allowed to be lost
in an enforced vacation of two or
three months. This break i'm the cur
rent of education is disastrously long
In those two or three months. in man,
cases the momentum is entirely dis
sipated; the student does not re-
sumo his studies. This problem of
lost momentum could be solved easily
by the substitution of several short
vacations during a school year of
twelve months for the one long vaca-
tion of the nine-mOnth year.
Some such solution of the problem
would give the forces of education a
mechanical efficiency, an immense
momentum which would make stu
dents even out of university gradu-
ates; it would give powerful impulse
to one of the great aims of education.
the pursuit of knowledge beyond the
