Monday morning DR.. Phillips
of Denver University addressed the
High School in words which must
prove helpful to everyone who
heard him. He showed in charm
ing way, first, that whining does
J rot land positions, but rather,
merit combined with pluck; second
that gossip is degrading; third
that all should strive to overcome
narrow aud intolerant views, not
merely on religious questions but
also on many others; fourth, that
strong efforts should be directed
toward self-control, physical and
mental.
Last Friday the High School
enjoyed a talk by Mr.. Shuck of
Denver, formerly a school superin-
tendent. He defined education
and showed in views noseommon
five qualities which in his mind
should result from education.
His interesting personality was
very entertaining.

The Voice Of Bernstorf

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Presidents address to the Senate
recalls the tale of Jacob and Esau we have
the hand of Wilson and the voice of Bern
storff. Its vague generalites cannot cloud
its point and purpose, which are found in his
insistence on peace without victory. This
reveals Mr.. Wilson as not only pacifst, but
also what every paciist to-day logically
should be, a pro-German. To this position
he would bring America, and to this, whether
aimed at or not, his chloroforming the con-
science of Americans by urging them to be
neutral in thought and word naturally leads.
1t is well that this result should appear,
and if it had been foreseen earlier perhaps
more would have been found to echo the pro-
test of one clear-minded writer: 81 had
rather be a leper as white as snow than the
thing that is called neutral In such a con-
hict as this F. A. HENRY.

More Green Stuff" Needed

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have been greatly interested in the
police squad of twenty-five cent livers.
would like TO know if there is not need for
more green" stuff in their dietary? As a
home engineer under unusual financial stress
have been feeding a family of three. con.
sisting of man of eighty. woman of mid
die age, his daughter. and sturdy boy OF
hfteen, on about the same amount. Our por-
lions are undoubtedly smaller than those re-
CURED by the policemen but we have the
weight and physical evidences of people we'll
nourished Our menus are much more varied
and would appeal to many as being more at
tractive than those which we read from day
to day. Also they take much more time and
skill 10 prepare, but if the woman is to make
good as the home keeper and health pre-
server OF the family, | contend, in common
with other enthusiastic "club women" that
conservation, efficiency and economy are
worthwhile efforts.
There has been nothing mentioned in the
list OF foods which we do not use. perhaps no
ingredients very different to either list
would be found, but we find salads necessary
and homemade ice cream not an infrequent
luxury. HOUSEKEEPER

Punishment Without Victory?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: President Wilson in his address to
the Senate stated that TO justify the United
States joining in league to enforce peace it
would have 70 be a "peace without victory
and between equals" ! think il would be
very satisfactory to readers Of The New York
Tribune, like myself, if you would enlighten
US as TO what the President really means by
peace without victory" Does he mean
that there should be no punishment TO the
enemy creating the war and the fearful
crimes against humanity, such as sinking the
Lusitania, the murder Of innocent women
and children, bringing Belgians into slavery
and many other deliberate murders and
crimes too numerous 10 mention, all breach
of international law.
. Can there be any adequate punishment
without victory, as criminals will not exact
punishment on themselves? People like my
self have been hoping that justice would
eventually be done.
President Wilson seems TO have a crude
idea of justice, as illustrated by the Grayson
incident the other day.

Bread Versus Beer

Those Englishmen who have been call
ing upon their government to restrict the
traffic in liquor will hardly be satisfied
with the latest order of the Food Control
Ter. 1t reduces the production of beer for
the coming year by 30 per cent as COM
pared with last years production, reducing
it to about half the output of the year be-
fore the war. The saving effected will, 1t
is supposed, suffice for the present to 81
lence the demand for state purchase or
prohibition. Moreover, Lord Davenport
has been at some pains to make it clear
that abstinence is not what the govern
ment is chiefly concerned in promoting.
1.-THE fact" he says, sis that the barley,
sugar and other ingredients used in brew
ing are required for food. In fact, it is
really a question of bread versus beer"
Now, there are many in England who
hold that the only acceptable alternatives
are state purchase and prohibition. All
other measures, such as the dilution Of
spirits, the encouragement of a taste for
small beer. and restrictions imposed upon
breweries, are regarded by Them as unsat-
isfactory compromises. Some of the most
ardent reformers have been clamoring for
state purchase, because they believe that
in effect it must result at last in virtual
prohibition. And they will doubtless con-
tinue to clanor for it, being firmly con-
WINGED that it Is measure the government
will be obliged sooner or later to adopt. "The
Spectator" has boldly predicted that unless
it be adopted without delay the ministry
is sure to fall. "a war government" it
said not long since, must lead the nation,
not be kicked from behind into doing their
duty. Depend upon it, if the government
miss the opportunity which now confronts
them their fate is sealed
This is an extreme view which is not
commonly accepted in England. There has
been a demand, mainly from employers, to
suppress the traffic in liquor altogether,
but the opposition is at present greater
and more powerful The Food Controller
has therefore done wisely in giving out his
order merely as a pressing necessity, for
on that score no patriot can properly quar-
rel with it. If further restrictions prove
to be necessary they will doubtless be APP
piled when the occasion arises, but for the
present total prohibition would be an I'M
popular measure and might be seriously
preiudicial to the new government.

Random Inquiries About Votes and Prices

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The suffrage claim that giving women
the ballot will reduce the cost Of living sug-
gests these random thoughts:
If farmer, by intelligent, hard work, can
raise 300 bushels of potatoes to the acre by
planting, cultivating. spraying and praying
for rain, how many more bushels could he
raise if his wife voted?
If a woman, in addition to her other work
about farm can raise forty turkeys with
out being able to vote, how many more could
she raise with the vote?
If a protracted drouth threatened the
grain crops would votes for women produce
the necessary showers?
If fresh, sweet dairy butter brought So
cents pound at the makers own door, would
votes for women drop cents a pound off of
the price of that butter, and, il they did, who
would get the butter?
Would votes for women put more weight
on a hog thereby increasing the supply Of
meat, or would they reduce the demand in
order to hold down the price!

THE NEW EDUCATION
Some CoDjectures About the Operation Of
DR.. FIexner's Plan

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In Dr. Flexner's argument against the
classics, in your issue of January 20, there
are about four hundred words. Of these, 1SS
at hasty count are Latin. But how can one
argue that language is dead by using it in
a daily newspaper called The Tribune?
Not only are newspapers, periodicals and
books full of Latin words, but they are in
daily use in other parts of that world which
is to be the laboratory of the new school. In
law, medicine, business and trade Latin is in
frequent use.
Does DR.. Flexner not mean TO include In his
laboratory the world of plants, the world OF
animals? All Of the plants and all of the
animals have Latin family names and Latin
physics TEEN with Latin names. Even the in
ventions are best described by Greek and
Latin names.
As compensation for the loss of Latin the
pupils are to study the "harbor, the Metropoli-
tan Museum, the Public Library" etc. What
will they see at the harbor? Docks ware
houses, rushing drays, sailing vessels and
freight steamers. Having no history or ira
dition, they will never see the Indians in
their canoes, Henry Hudson on the Half Moon,
the landing Of the British-the pageant of the
past. Neither, of course, would they see
"Proteus rising from the sea
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn"
When they reach the Metropolitan what
will they find TO study? The whole first floor
is history and much of the second | see
nothing for them but the Cubist and Futurist
art. 1t will be equally hard to interest such
pupils in the Library. Since Mr. Dewey's day
we divide the books into ten classes and give
a Latin or Greek name to each class How
will they understand this mystery? Why
should they be interested in books? Not all
of them are classics, to be sure, but it is
rather dangerous to turn them loose in a
library.
As for the "teeming life" of New York.
most teachers of my acquaintance hope for
pupils ignorant of it, for a few months at
least. None wish to encourage il. Possibly.
like true scientist, DR.. Flexner is following
the line OF least resistance. CT.
