MILITARISM IN THE NURSERY

She quotes many instances of the toy soldiers of princess of several centuries ago. Thus. Louis XIV. paid 5000 francs for "an army of cardboard soldiers finely painted, for his majes- ty the king to give to Monseigneur le Dauphin. This miniature army consisted of 20 squadrons of cavalry, 10 battalions of infantry They were later on replaced by the little silver army made by Merlin, the silver smith, in the Seventeenth century, from artistic models. Not only were the men and horses made, but also guns and other machines of war"
 These silver men-at-arms and their toy cannon were later melted for their silver when the king began to play with human soldiers and cannon and needed money for his wars.
 Royal Infants Had Soldier Toys
 Nearly all kings have played with soldiers and guns when they were children. Now that kings are almost obsolete, what the modern princeling plays with is not especially impor- tant. The toys of the average child are what count.
 Mrs. Stoner thinks that parents are mainly responsible for a chIlds interests. Children would not be so eager to play with toy pistols and soldiers if their parents did not when they are very small begin to encour- age them by gifts of such toys.
 Thus the soldier idea is implanted To be a soldier the child insists or having a gun. And when he grows up with the desire to exchange tht toy gun for a soldiers bayonet tho distracted mother walls that her boy always seemed to take to weapons. This is the disastrous effect, WI

By Frederic ]. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-That the toy soldier in the nursery is a powerful influence for war is the opinion of Mrs. Winifred Sackville Stoner, the well known educator.
 Mrs. Stoner holds the opinion that what the average child in a country is playing with is an index of the way the country is heading-whether toward peaceful progress or another war. Scrapping battleships. she says, will not insure peace if the children of the coming generation grow up with the belligerent ideas that destructive toys are bound to instill.
 Right now" she points out, "chil- dren are doing terrible things. Some French children stabbed their moth CT to death recently. And from oth- CT countries stories of child criminals have been coming. Why? All through the war children have seen and heard about destruction and besides have had so many destructive toys.
 "All through history the characters and careers of men have been shaped by their playthi1gs. Napoleon played with toy cannon. Hannibal, as a lit- tie boy, held a sword bigger than himself and swore vengeance against the Romans. Frederick the Great had weapons for toys.
 "On the other hand, the boy Mozart played with a violin, and Titan played in the woods, painting with the juice of berries"
 Further light on the importance oi the apparently trivial toy soldier was shed several years before the recent war by Mrs. F. N. Jackson in hei book on toyA

Lansuas. Study and the Nursery


 The statement of Miss Hughes of Wellesley col lege that the English language is afflicted with stvlistic pedantism" is a diagnosis of serious dis ease We are accustomed to regard pedant and pe- dantism as invidious words though the pedant him. self may feel by title which to the rest of us is epithet.
 Miss Hughes further informs us that we are shaphazard prosaic and dull in the choice of words awkward in the organization and construction cf our thoughts in the form of English" and she adds we care little as long not misunderstood
 It is question how careless we may be and not be misunderstood or rather and not fail to be fully understood.
 Two men may make statement of the same fact or theory is far the nearer Is con cerned no doubt the meaning of either. They are equally plain him. but of these statesments fails to impress wh the other arrests his attention and set him to thinking. Though language in this case has discharged its only supposed function, that of conveying thought served Of the relations better than the other So force and elegance as well as the propriety of words are to be sought
 And there is search which will be conducted in vain in books and class whence pedants spring and develop. The searcher must find them mainly in hinself-suck them out Of his thumb. Horseback riding golf and tennis are successfully taught by mall

 Grammar we are told is the science of language. Very rigid rules are laid down in the elementary grammar The pupil Is told that there are certain things that must be done and others that must not be done His language must be either proper or i'm proper In this stage of his study of the language he is treated as child in the nursery the play ground the subject of rigid discipline restricted liberty.

 Both the grammar pupil and the child have only undergone discipline. Both have been taught that things are wrong for them which not wrong in a later stage of their development. Then they are allowed enlarged liberties the child of conduct and the grammar pupil, of language. But there still certain conduct for the former, and Of lam guage for latter within which they progress to any extent to which their natural qualifications may permit them to go.

II EFT E R s A To the Editor

Hellenic View of Disarmament To the Editor:
 If the rules and space of your pa- per permit, please publish the fol- lowing letter.
 Wonderfully the French premier spoke about disarmament. The po- lite Frenchman desires the disarma- ment of all nations except France. Does France fear Germany? Why7 If she desires peace like the other nations why claim more than shel can have? Why make secret treaty with that unspeakable Turk. the ally of Germany against her own ally. Greece? Has Greece militaristic ideas? No. She fought with the al- lies against militarism and barbar- ism and still fights for civilization as she did for centuries and to hold what the allies promised her.
 Is the polite Frenchman against Greece because the Greek people took back King Constantine? A free peo- pie can have a king or president. Can anybody tell France or America that it must have kingdom instead of a democracy? Or because a few
 French sailors were killed in the streets of Athens should the Greeks, throw ID their hands and say. "Po-' lite Frenchmen, you are welcome. you can have everything we have?" What did Belgium do when the Germans invaded its soil What did France and the whole world do? We, the Creeks. painfully follow what France did-for Turkey against Greece-hut we cannot believe that
 France will not some day realize what she IS doing today. We are sure that some day she will go down | to her knees and say, Victims Of | Turkish atrocities. I apologize; it was I who gave the Turks food and money; it was ] who furnished them with arms and ammunition; it was who helped them to put you into 1 your graves.

The ArhuckIe Defense

The Arbuckle defense is relying almost wholly upon negative testimony, such for instance the statement Of physician and other witness who did not the victim of the fat comedian accuse him Of having injured her. Likewise expert physicians for the defense testifying injury which caused her death might been produced naturally That conditions existed which cuminated only particular moment. and might have eliminated if she had remained in the scelusion of her in- stead of having been taken to Arbuckle's drunken party.
 Against this sort of evidence there is the direct testimony of reputable physicians who have sworn that the womans injury produced by the ap- p1ication Of external And there the testi mony of witnesses, some of them members of the party others attracted by the uproar who heard the cry out that Arbuckle had hurt her.
 That she might not after her removal from the scene of the debauch. mention to physician whose attendance her somewhat casual and who had evidently been summoned in the interest Ar buckle, that Arbuckle did hurt purely mega tive since the had already been under the care Of other physicians from the time of her re- moval to hospital
 There is too the outstanding fact of the revela- ton of the character of Arbuckle Though he might be acquitted and be properly acquitted of reasonable doubt his responsibility for the womans death, his character would remain as black If his guilt established.

FAIRY STORIES
BY DR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

A gentleman Bolshevik by the name of Lunatchars- ky (which is probably Russian for lunatic), the Com missioner of Education in the realm of freedom, der and cholera has banned the Fairy Story from child ren on moral and educational grounds \ It is difficult to imagine diabocal act
 Killing Mother Goose is much more nhu1nan than killing the Czar.
 Disbelief in Santa Claus is far deadlier heresy than disbelief in Transubstantiation
 The worlds Fairy Stories are it's best treasure.
 All great ideas begin as Fairy Stories.
 Electric Light, Telephones Ocean Cables, Trolley Cars Automobiles Ocean Liners Airplanes, and Wire less Telegraphy were all once Fairy Stories.
 So were Democracy, Religious Liberty, Universal Free Education and Monogamy
 They were all one time pooh-poohed, boohed, and pish-tushed.
 Every new phase of progress is Fairy Story come true.
 Humanity trudges forward in the wake of dreams ,
 We will never cease to love Fairy Stories until we cease to be Souls
 Fairy Stories are what Ought to be and what we Want to be- which is all that enables bear what Is
 Everybody wants to succeed in life, to become fa- nous, marry the girl and get the soap-factory. Few do in reality All do in the Fairy Story.
 Jack the Giant Killer is what every child wants to be-a mighty doer of the impossible Except in the Story he attain his desire Why rob him of that?
 Why condemn mankind to life imprisonment in the actual?
 As boy you had to mind everybody, go to bed at dark bring in the wood and get your lessons. When you read of Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp you escaped all that and lived ,n way fit for human being. ,
 You had to live in Corn Center, Kansas, all but those hours you had the Magic Carpet and passed light ly from China to Peru.
 Faryland is the symbolization, the sef-expression of our subconscious self.
 And a life without Ghosts lacks all dignity.
 The dumbheads that contend over the literal inter pretaton of the Scriptures do not realize that the best part of the Bible its real hold the race it's dynamic and its fadeless charm its Fairy Stories Whoever wrote the Bible knew human nature.
 In Fairy Stories are lifes compensations. Our days full enough of disusion collapsed hopes crippled ambitions, disappointment, heartbreak and injustice.
 Fairyland is such place. There every Jack has his Jil Cinderella finds her Prince and we're all rch powerful, happy, and famous
 And who this Russian bandit that would rob us of this? What strange and curious cruelty is this that would prevent from walking and then in Ens chanted Grounds?
 Take away our novel, our Theater our Church and our Fairy Story, and what have we left?
