DEROGATORY TERMS,

A movement which deserves no lit
lie attention. and which will be ap-
proved of by large numbers at least
who have recognized the need of some
such effort, is that which has been
undertaken by DR.. P. P. C1axton, COM
missioner of education in this coun-
try, whereby he appeals particularly
TO the Boy Scouts, but it should of
necessity be to everyone. to uphold
the code of honorable names.
He recognizes. as many must have,
that there Is q growing disposition to
attach a nickname to many residents
whether they arc foreign born or not
which is not inclined to improve con-
ditions in this country. It is the stig-
matizing of many of those who are
encountered in every day life with de-
rogatory terms, such as. according to
lis list, "Dago, Dutchy. Froggy, Gin
ny, Greaser. Heiny, Horwat. Hunky
like, AIiclly, Paddy, Sheeney, Spha-
setti and Wop." There are others OF
course which he might have added
but his list serves the purpose o.
showing what should not he.
1t can be appreciated that many who
might have any one of these names
applied TO them are American citi-
|cns and it is of course recognized
that there are countless instances
where there is no resentment wher
such terms are applied, for those des-
lGnated very frequently resort to sucl
use themselves. but it is too often thu
case that any thing but a compliment
is implied by the use of such names
They are used to create feeling ant
they are usually successful. But sucl
dcrision does no good and it is prefer
ahle that it should be discouraged
Inquestionably the Boy Scouts car
end viii have a good influence in put
ting q check to it by their exampl,
and certainly such work is bound Il
have its good effects in behalf o
Amor!canization. with which IL car
well go hand in hand.
