Senator Penrose is expected to re-
turn to Washington today and after
his arrival at the capital announce
ments In the way Of appointments to
one or two Federal Jobs in Philadel- =
phia may be heard. Although he came
TO this city ostensibly for three days

Berry.
When questioned concerning the re-
mort the Senator said he would not dls &.
cuss Federal appointments. He touched
lightly on the japanese question and
also on disarmament.
81 don't think there is anything in
the so called japanese scare, he said
II cannot imagine anything to disturb
our relations with Japan, which nave
been mutual for trade and commerce
many years.
"As far as disarmament Is concerned,
I favor the general principle of disar-
mamcnt and regardless OF agreements
or understandings with any other ma
ton. | have favored large measure
of disarmament by the United States,
"No one can by any stretch OF the
Imagination picture another war dur
ing the present and perhaps the next
generation, and no nation desires. or can
attack the United States successfully.
1--WE will have to pay the bill OF dam
ages for the recent war before any ma :
tion can talk of another war. This ls
nm era when it will be we'll for common
sense TO prevail. The world really
wnnts TO got back to ways of peace ana
the profitable resumption of manutac-
turc and commerce. -, =
at is going to tax the wealth OF
every nation to the limit for n GOOD
while TO carry present war legacles.
How idle it is to talk of another war.
I believe in going ahead and minding
our own business. 49, /,

ing session that with the revival Of
classical learning which the league pur-
poses TO bring about will come q mod
ertl renaissance, with epochal advances
IN every department Of learning.
dean West explained how the league
perposes to survey present methods Of
teaching Latin and Greek and bring
them up to the highest pitch of modern
pedagogical efficiency.
The work viii be in charge of an adj
vfsory committee Of twenty, represent
ing the entire country. There will be
also eight regional committees. These
regional committees will carry on their
Investigation by means Of correspond
ence and through trained investigators
1t Is expected that three years will be
required for the work.
There are Some ten or twelve thou
sand teachers Of Latin and Greek in the
country, outside of those in the Catho-
lie schools and colleges" said Dean
West.
Whatever the past faults and fail
ures of classical teaching. the teachers
themselves should be the first to recog-
nize their shortcomings and eliminate
them. Self criticism will be essential.
Waut Methods Changed
81 believe there have been more
criticisms aimed at the form of teaching
the classics than at the actual value OF
classical studies. Though there has been
much unnecessary criticism. rhere has
been much also that has been serious
and helpful. Classical teaching hns
been criticized as dry. mechanical and
pedantic These faults nIst no alirni =
mated. and instruction in Latin and
Greek made human and interesting.
The oldest sciences depend on classical
teaching largely. II it had not been
for the antiquity Of these studies per-
haps we would not have made the ad L.
vances that have been possible in re-
cent years. With the revision of teach =
ing methods in classical schools. I lool,
for a revival of intellectual life. with
a quickening of all the arts and
