Intensive Training Needed

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledoer.
Sir--Today civilization depends upon the
Individual, and his development might be
greatly aided by his own Intelligent CO.
operation. Such an stttud9 mlght be brought
about by means OF intensive training in lieu
OF exclusively commercial and general edu-
cation. To cooperate in his development
the individual should understand his true
status.
Tho lower animal is governed by emo
tions. such as hate, fear. jealousy, etc. Man
Is in a state of transition. He can reason,
but stll retains his primal emotions besides.
He Is today more readily moved to action
by emotional propaganda than by facts or
reason alone. He may. In fact. cultivate
such master emotion as love, or re-
iigious fervor. and permit It 10 occupy his
entire attention. Thus II will be put TO use.
as the minor emotions must ultimately die
from lack of exercise.
Next consider the difference between
knowledge aid belief. II we find a state
ment with g. reality to correspond with 1t.
we know It Is fact. II. on the other hand,
We have statement presented to US. often
from various sources, we come to take Its
truth for granted. as certain myths that are
taught to children. The only reason they
wane is because they are not go constantly
reiterated. 1t is largely a matter Of exer-
else.
Although myths may also be put to use,
stimulating thoughts that induce happiness.
they are for the immature. The positive
method for bringing happiness Ia not by
dismissing facts that induce uuhappiness
hut by diminishing the induced thoughts OF
rrhappiness. The animal instinct to cling
to life should be gradually altered to de-
sire to live useful life.
In the past many codes Of morality and
whatnot were formulated. They appeared
logical because they obvated the necessity
OF struggling with some difficult problems.
But as result OF our prudsh social sys-
tenn we have only the susceptibility to false
wisdom which Is so apparent. We are cry
Ing for better civilization And let me re-
peat. It can only be found by intensive
training OF the Individual. so that he may
ntell&ently cooperate in his own develop
ment. GRANTHAM JAQUETTE.

OF DEBATE TODAY
Independent LIBERAL I..e..--:r
Parliament Thinks British
Subjects Should Stay Out

London, Aug 19.-The recruiting
campaign being carried on by the
Spanish consulate in England to Sc
cure troops to fight against the Moor
ish tribesmen was brought up in the
house of commons today by Joseph
Kenworthy, independent liberal, who
endeavored to get the government to
make statement on the subject.
Cecil Harmsworth, under-secretary
for foreign affairs, declined to dis
Cuss the matter until he had an OPP
rortunity to consult the government
heads.
Mr.. Kenworthy pressed the matter
asking whether the foreign enlistment
act was still in force and whether
Mr.. Harmsworth was aware that rela-
tons between the Riff Tribesmen and
England, and especially the British in
Gbraltcr, had always been good and
that the natives. of the Pif country had
assisted England in the war. Mr..
Kenworthy asked if this was to be
considered before anything was done
which would make England lose their
friendship.
The foreign enlistment act provide
that il shall be violation OF British
neutrality to permit enlistments in
Great Britain for either of two indie
pendent countries which may be at
war Mr.. Harmsworth simply replied
that the act still was operative and
that the question of the Riffs would
be considered.
