TYPICAL AMERI-
CAN OF TODAY is
A CITY DWELLER

Evanston, ILL.,, June 1.-THE typical
American of today is a city dweller,
President Walter Dill Scott of
Northwestern University told the stu
dents alumni and visitors attending
University here today
I'VE are no longer justified in as
signing human depravity as the
cause of inefficiency and discomfort
in homes, schools, churches and in
dustries." President Scott added:
The real cause is rather to be
found in us. who are parents, teach
ers, ministers and managers. We
have failed to develop methods of
handling children. pupils. parishion-
ers and workers in keeping with the
development of the goth century.
THE social sciences have not
been as completely developed as the
natural sciences and as heIpfully ap-
piled and consequently we have not
made a similar advance in methods
of training and handling men. Men
and women are today not adequately
trained for twentieth century civili-
cation and they are not working to-
gether effectively and happily.
The typical American of today is
more often the descendant of steerase
passengers than of the pilgrim faith
ers,' he added. Our convention of
men. our methods Of training men
and our methods Of handling men are
all largely the traditions of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The traditional methods of hand
ling men in America was to divide
them into two classes-the bosses
and the grudges and to treat them
accordingly. Most Americans were
thought to be bosses. The
social sciences teach us that Ameri-
cans of today cannot be divided into
bosses and grudges; that such dis
tinctions are contrary to the facts
and that the diverse methods of
handling men based on such dis
tfnction. are dangerous to the best
interests of our nation.
Our inherited methods of training
and handling men fail to meet our
present needs For guidance we
must understand the crowd and the
mob. We must think in groups,
classes and races. We must realize
that in America TODAY convention is
more potent than tradition"
In discussing Northwestern, Presi-
dent Scott stated that FIVE aspects Of
the University seemed to him to be
symboliZed by musical tone har-
moniously produced by five sources
of vibrations. These aspects. he said
were Human Culture. Religion,
Natural Science. Professional Skill
and Social Science.
In discussing these aspects. Presi-
dent Scott said: "Our founders real
ICED that there was culture un-
known to primitive life. but the great
heritage of each generation in a
civilized community To receive the
benefit of this heritage, they saw that
universities must be founded to
make available the best thoughts of
all men in all ages. Whether these
thoughts were preserved on canvas
or on the printed page they were

The sentiment of a meeting held Fri day evening in Odd Fellows hall by the equitable taxation committee and the in terested group of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce was that the Chamber of Commerce should cooperate with the board of assessors to enable the secretary of the board to apply for an appropria- tion from the town meeting to secure proper tax map of the town. The sum Of S5,000 was mentioned as the prob able appropriation that should be asked for
 It was reported to the meeting that the assessors say that tax map is an essential thing, and the Chamber of Com merce believes the assessors are handi- capped by not having such a map. With such a gap to work on the result would be an equitable assessment of the prop ertv in town.
 Secretary John J. ORourke of the 'Chamber of Commerce and Judge Arthur F. Libby, who is chairman of the equit- able committee made reports of the work that has been done by the commit tee which has held eight meetings and several conferences since November.
 Their report stated that during 1916 the state legislature passed a law making it mandatory for all cities and towns in the state to revalue their property be- fore February 1920, and every ten years thereafter Norwich has not complied th the law. and there is no penalty at tached. Senator Brown endeavored to have a penalty attached at the last ses- sion of legislature but it failed. Our rrime effort is to secure an equitable assessment on every taxpayer so that all should pay on a relatively common basis
