Why Follow English Writers

Rupert Hughes in Harpers Magazine.
 It is unfortunate in a way that the British and the Americans have a. lan- guage of common origin, abut it is won derfully fortunate in a thousand ways. We should not, however, try to fasten ourselves like two Siamese twins with an ineiastic bond compelling a common motion, or, more probably, denying free dom to both. Above all we should not consent to become a mere caudal append age to the English language-mongers to drag where they will or check as they will.
 Nobody pretends that the British should consult us Yet nearly every body assumes that we should defer to them. Why? in the name of all that is sweet and reasonable, why?
 We Americans and they English would never dream of abusing a French author or an Italian for writing words that we do not immediately understand. If we want to know what Tolstoi or Anatole France or D'Annunzio meant, we get a dictionary or translation to help us.
 Why should not the English have translations made of such of our works as may interest them? They read Chaucer, Cover, Skelton, Shakespeare and Burns with a glossary. They are doubtless puzzled by much of their own contemporary dialect prose and verse such as William Barnes rural lyrics Why should they not issue glossaries for such American writers as interest them Or. at least why should their igno- rance of our language impose upon our writers the restriction of keeping one eye on the British comprehension?

Worshiping Buddhas of Galilee

From Across Siberia in the Dragon
 Year of 1796, diary recording the ex-
 periences of fifteen Japanese sailors edited by Stewart Culin, in Asia.
 There are thirteen temples in lrkutsk each built in a different block. They are of stone and face the west, and eacn has a bell-tower. The Honzon is metal Buddha cast in gold or silver, or wooden Buddha plated with metal
 There are various other Buddhas painted on board and framed in metal
 The candlesticks, arranged in row, are placed in front of the image. There may be other sacred objects which we did not see. Beside Honzon they have
 roman gods and goddesses. Both men and women preface their names with the names of the Buddhas and gods, and we must understand that all the names with the names of the Buddhas and gods, and we must understand that all the names, such as Iwan and Mi korai, are the names of Buddhas Shinzo told us that in the old. time there were twelve men whose corpses dis played an aureole when they died.

From Forbes Magazine.
 Every employer is looking for men
 who are wide awake alert, quick to see
 trends. quick to recognize profitable op-
 portunities.
 One very large employer recently en-
 gagged an executive at a salary in excess
 of half d. million dollars a year. In one of his first tours of inspection through
 out the plant he saw a means of effect ing an economy which would amount in the course of twelve months to fully one-third of a million dollars. Within two months from the date of his employ ment he saw another opportunity for saving almost as much. Why was this man and the others here
 mentioned able to see the things they did see?
 Because they fitted themselves to see things not discernable by careless eyes | and indifferent minds. | The best way to learn to see more is | to learn more. The Japanese have proverb which
 says that "A look is better than thou sand words"
 Keen eager observation is one of the
 standard methods of increasing one s
 knowledge Keeping one's eyes wide | open helps to open one's mind.
