Script or Print Writina7

There is movement in England to abolish script writing and replace 1t by print writing. The characters used in the proposed system are the ordi- nary printed letters known as the Ro- man block letters with the exception of "a" and "g," which are simplified into their script forms. Print char acters were used centuries ago by monks before script writing became the fashion. Advocates of the pro- posed reform claim that 1t has many advantages over ordinary handwrit- ing, particularly in that the child learns much more quickly. Many Brit ish educational authorities favor print writing and it is taught in numerous British schools. There is no waste of time on the innumerable joinings of letters. and superfluous loops and iourishes aresabolished At least one big London firm has adopted the sys- tenn.

are to be found. He needs to have many records of fossils that have been discovered in the past. Scientific insti- tutions have many observations of the occurrence of fossils in regions in which they are interested.
 One of the most remarkable fossil birds ever discovered was brought to light three years ago in the Big Horn basin in an area which had been thor oughly explored by fossil hunters since 1891, and yet practically no trace of this great bird know as the diatryna had been found there.
 American museum explorers have gone over many old stamping grounds which had been searched again and again, and have discovered something new.
 It is important that such kind of prospecting and mining be done by trained men. An inexperienced man who undertakes to remove such skele- tons is pretty sure to ruin them, and the chances are that he will render them entirely worthless
 To become successful collector, 1t Is not so much a matter of the technic of collecting as 1t is a practical neld knowledge of formations. The collector must have trained judgment in order to know what prospects are worth in- vestigating, and how best to go about if. It is for this reason that the AmerL can Museum and other institutions have had to decline offers of voluntary assistance on expeditions.
 Four Men Go Together
 Generally speaking, collecting ex- pedition Dr. Matthew said, consists of from two to four men It IS not con sidered good for man to be alone and take risks. It does not pay to nave more than. four men, otherwise they are likely to be in one another's way.

New Ideas in Adding Machine.

At least two novel features are em- bodied in the construction of a new adding machine described in the Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine. Most re markabe, perhaps. is the facility and safety with which it may be taken apart, in spite of it's complex nature. a pair of pliers and penknife being the only tools necessary. The opera ton of greatest value, however, is the machines ability to subtract as easily as if adds. This Is made possible by 4 simple reversing lever which causes the adding wheels to run backward.

Division of Samoan Islands.

By the agreement of December 2, 1899, among the United States, Great Britain and Germany, the Samoan Is- lands were divided between the Unit ed States and Germany, Great Bri- tain retiring and accepting compensa- tion for her retirement in the form of colonial concessions elsewhere in the world. This agreement ended a long series of outbreaks and disorder in the islands amounting to state of civil war, due, 1t was charged at the time, to the intrigue and aggression of tho Germans.

The Real Mysteries

The jargon of Intelligentsia is al
ways changing. One has to be spry
of tongue to keep abreast of it's latest
slang. But for the past months one
phrase has held the center of discus
sion-by dropping it often enough
into ones sentences one could qualify
for any we'll bred radical salon.
That phrase is "war hysteria," and
by it is always meant the epthusi-
asms Of those who fought the war.
An exception should be made for
those who supported the war with
moderation, critically, calmly, half
heartedly, as matter of regretful
duty and without becoming over
heated. These poised beings avoided
this form Of "war hysteria" as COM
pletely as did the thorough pacifst
or conscientious objector who re-
fused to helS even moderately and
did his best to give the country as
much bother as possible.
1t seems to US time that this par
ticular nonsense was called. What
are the facts? Was there really
anything hysterical about the way
the American people went to war?
10 the contrary. we submit that q
more patient, orderly, rational and
unhysterical proceeding it would be
hard to imagine. There was deep
feeling, yes--the finest and most
splendid emotions human beings are
capable of commanded and controlled
our fighting men and every one who
made a willing sacrifice for the
safety Of the herd. But deep emotion
is not hysteria. Neither is the i'm
patience Of a country in war time
with those who obstrypt and finch.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-27

This Is the sanest kind Of insistence
upon mass action. A country that
could, in the swift course of war,
spend all its time smiling benignly
upon every fault-finding egotist
would, indeed, be emotionally disor-
dered and fit for the asylum.
We think there is such thing as
war hysteria, however. We think it
was plainly exhibited in this country
during the late war. When the herd
is in peril the normal beings unite
whole-heartedly in it's defense. That
way lies not only collective safety
but the maximum of individual
safety, physical and mental. In such
q period of mental strain the human
being who unites with the herd
stands the best chance of withstand
ing these strains. The egotist who
refuses to help the herd is not only
abnormal to start with, but he is
subjected to mental strains by his
isolation and struggle against his
environment. The true Mysteries of
the war, we submit, were found
among those who, for whatever rea-
sons, set themselves up as wiser and
better than their fellows and sought
to struggle against every natural in
stinct of community life.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-27

both states have approved the COM
prehensive plan for the unified port.
No city within the port district is to
be bound by the comprehensive plan
unless and until it accepts it. 1t is
also stipulated that the treaty shall
not impair the powers of any mu-
nicipality to improve it's own port
facilities. And no public property
can be taken over by the port author
ity without the consent of the
municipality owning it.
New York City, losing nothing
by the. unification of the port, would
gain greatly. The part of the port
on the east side Of the Hudson will
be protected against possibly hos
tile development on it's western
side, where most of the great rail-
roads have their terminals. A
single port district will balance and
equallze port development, and may
in the end eliminate the excessive
lighterage charges which lay so
heavy toll on necessaries of life
for New York City consumption.
Only petty local self-esteem and a
false theory Of economic interest
stand i'll the way of a prompt ac-
ceptance Of the port treaty.
