including the league Of nations.
During the consideration OF the
measure certain senator's claimed tn
be in favor Of the principles involved
hut sought to amend the covenant by
1.-The Introduction Of a series OF reser-
vations and interpretations. This led
to long and futile discussion during
which personal hatred and political
iprestige played large part. Presi-
dent Wilson became the issue with a
number of leading senators rather
! than the principles involved in the
peace treaty. The result was that the
civilized world, torn and blesding from
the results OF the awful war, is CROP
| ing its way through poverty and crime
unable to find the uplifted hand that
was to lead all peoples into the liglt
| OF better day.
1t is conceded that the league of ma
lions is a human document and there
fore not perfect, but 1t is the entering
| wedge toward q world compact for
peace. Compromises and concessions
were conceded in the great peace con-
ference at Versailles and after the de-
filtration diplomats OF the world par
ticipated the treaty and league were
perfected and representatives OF TWEEN
| ty different nations including Ger
many placed their signatures to the
document.
We believe the senators who voted
against the ratification Of the compact
failed utterly to measure up to the
expectations of a large majority OF the
people OF the United States. 1t ought
/ to be made clear to the public servants
who so grossly abused their official
prerogatives that the patriotic devo-
ton to a great principle is far more
important than personal or political

Useful professionally as mathc-

in photoplay composition were es-
tablished and have been maintain
ed with ever increasing registration
since that time.
Mrs, Patterson took up photo
play study when, a. . teacher, she
discovered that her pupils were
far more interested in Silas Mar
ner Ia film than q 10 George Eliot.
She then did q little research work
on the fascinating pastime and
that led her to the photoplay de-
partment at Columbia where she
has been teaching and lecturing
for the last three years. The de-
partment has grown SO rapidly that
there are now five courses offered.
In addition to these five Mrs. Pat

writing for the benefit of those
who cannot attend the college lee
