Mexico's Ills

TnOM certain e0lslons scattered
IL through Samuel Guy Inman's In
fervestion in Merico we take it that he is
either a pedagogue or social worker,
Who's Who being blank as to his rec.
ord. Mr.. Inman, however, has lived ard
labored in Mexico for some years and b,
has very definite ideas ms to that country
to Carranza, why we do not understand
the people or the republic south Of the
Rio Grande, and also what must be done
to improve conditions in that country.
All Of these he sets down in the pages Of
Intervention in Merico, which really
should have been entitled non-interven-
tion since Mr.. Inman belongs to that
school He also has q great admiration
for Carranza, although he admits that the
one fault of the President Of Mexico is
that he (Carransa) holds too closely to
the idea of nationalism. Also Mr.. Ininan
is Of the opinion that Mexico is win
ming through its revolutionary stage to
something like settled government; that
living in Mexico city and in many parts
of the country is comfortable and secure,
and that the cost Of living is not so ex.
cessive as it is in our own land.
We can pass over his very common
place IDEAS as to the causes of friction
between the United States and his af-
frmations that this friction cannot be
II - .~ko
diplomacy to take up his idea of what
should be done TO help Mexico and the
Mexicans TO their place In the sun of well
ordered government and peace and pros
perity. 1t lies, and here comes in the
pedagogue and social worker, in estah-
fishing a system Of education based on
the idea of Peoples Institute, kind Of
school that Introduces young people int,
useful hvelihoods and trains them at the
same time to be useful citizens" These
are the words of Professor Chavez,
Mexican educator, and Mr.. Inman devel-
ops this thought In these words: "Carry-
ing out this idea, it is proposed to have
the institution begin in the city OF
Mexico, with q normal institute and
foundation school-using the term as
it is understood in Berea College-whicb
will prepare students either for entrance
into the normal institute or to becorc
skilled operatives in various trades" The
scheme is developed on large and COM
prehensive plan which includes its social
aspect, based on the idea of community
centre and extending to ''the populariz-
ing Of medical knowledge and sanitation
among the poorer classes" and the pro-
duction of good literature. "If this pro-
gramme were faithfully carried OUT Mr..
Inman declares, with enthusiasm, eff
fciency and a free pouring out of life
and wealth, the results would be very
quickly seen-probably good deal moro
quickly than the results of armed inter-
ventior.' One may well wonder If the
Mexiccns themselves might not object as
strenuously to this kind Of peaceful pene-
tration as they do now to any talk Of
armed Intervention. Certain it is this
would be long and wearisome row to
hoe.
INTERVENTION IN MEXICO. BY SAM
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-09-07

Doris Mayo, the hero makes out, is some
thing in the way of German spy caught
up In the tolls with one Herbert Ram
some Shaw, whose chief physical charac-
teristic is that he makes every one who
sees him think Of snake. The play
wright in search of adventure has several
settos with Herbert and gets the worst Of
it until the climax of the story, when he
rescues Doris from that reptilian per-
sons clutches by shooting him-as it ap-
pears. When things reach this pass it is
necessary for Miss Jordan to let her read
ers into the secret Of Doris and Herbert
and what relation they bore to the play
wright That relation is 80 far fetched it
proves our moving picture scenario idea
to be fairly sound.

German Moral Downfall

' agreed that the German people may
be like other people, but insists that their
education at least has been different How
different this education Of the Germans
has been and how thorough is better real
lied after reading book by Prof. Craw-
ford of the University Of Manitoba called
Germaay's Moral Downfall, or the "trag-
edy Of academic materialism." The Ger
man education, according to Prof. Craw-
ford is the cause Of the country's "moral
downfall" He says:
'There is now increasing evidence that
the war is but part Of the general break
ing down Of moral standards in the entire
nation, and the failure Of their whole So
cial system The present outbreak seems
TO be but the elimination of a consider
able period Of moral perversity that has
now only reached the stage Of catastrophe.
The diabolism of their army in Belgium
and France seems only little worse than
the appalling iniquities of the civilian
classes at home"
Most Germans, SO far as their education
is concerned, look Us much alike as school
of orphans in their checked gingham uni
forms. This is the difference between the
education of the Germans and other peo-
pie; between culture and kultur, as defined
by Prof. Santayana. "Culture is mat
ter of miscellaneous private attainments
and refined tastes; kultur is "rather, par
ticipation in a national purpose and in
the means of executing il"
There is apparently nothing rniscella-
neous or private about the German eduea-
ton, where there are no selective courses,
but everything is hardfast and required.
The Germans are 'tribap in their educa-
ton as in their morality and religion and
politics. "We-hav no politics." says a
German. "The policy of the Government
is everybody's policy"-a comfortable
state Of affairs until the country lock-
stepped into war. Until this time the
pattycake education had been marvellously
successful.
Prof. Crawford has put into essay and
more amplifed form the gist of German
thought and philosophy that has already
been furnished us in several books OF
amusing quotation, such as DIR. Bangs
Hurrah and Hallelajah and William Arch
er's Gems Of German Thought. In an eff,
fort to explain "Gcrmany's moral down.
fall" Prof. Crawford strings these gems
of German thought together into con-
sistent and admirably "logicap philos-
ophy, which, according to his interpreta-
ton, is materialism. Prof. Crawford says
succinetly that the "new morality" Of
which much has been heard in connection
with Germany, is nothing but the "old
immortality" and his purpose in writing
his book is to help to prevent this "new
morality" from spreading if he can.
