'Balkanized" has usually referred to political

To the Editor of The Evening World:
AS recalled by your editorial, we
have recently seen the hand of Boss
Anderson steering through the Metho-
dist conferences resolutions calling
upon the Department of Justice to
poke into the statutes and dig out one
with which to scare The Evening
World and other newspapers which are
opposing the Eighteenth Amendment.
Possibly 1t is folly to expect reason
to radiate from the brains OF profes-
sional Prohibitionists. Equally, most
OF us know that tho Methodist Church

Are you willing to put in writing and to

THE BASIS FIRST.

@ ECRETARY HUGHES'S reply to representa-
~ tves of the Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom contains a timely re-
minder of American attitude toward the present
Government in Russia:
Political recognition follows the establish
ment of a sound basis for intercourse. Polit-
ical recognition is dependent upon the exist
ence Of Government that is competent to
discharge and shows a disposition to discharge
its international obligations. This whole mat
ter Is in the control OF those who dominate the
affairs OF Russia. We most desirous to do
what to aid in Russia's recuperation,
but they must establish the basis for such
recuperation"
The United States ought to be saying this a.
an active participant in the Genoa Conference
where its influence could have full weight.
Even semi-offcial utterances of the sort in
Washington may help, however, as useful cor
rective of academic tendencies TO find SO much
good in Sovietsm that Soviet Government is
encouraged to believe the rest of the world is
coming round to its views.
The Genoa Conference is now trying to find
way by which foreign property rights in Russia
may be recognized without requiring the Soviet
Government TO renounce its principles as they
apply in Russian territory.
That is very different proposition from the
earlier Soviet idea that other nations should ma
tionalize their property in order to remove diff
culties in the way of doing business with Com
munistic Russia
Reasonableness toward the Soviet regime need
not lack firmness.
There should be no doubt that the United
States looks at Russia with both.

Som ething Wrong with
Schools.

Som ething Wrong with the
To the Editor of The Evening World:
Something seems to be wrong with
the curriculum in our grammar
schools. Too much attention is given
to minor things, burdening the chill
dren's minds with useless details,
while essentials are neglected. Chill
dren are required to learn the names
of State counties and county seats be-
fore they know the names of the
countries and world capitals. They
are taught the names and locations Of
small rivers in the United States,
when they do not know about the
great rivers of the world. They are
expected to know where the White
Mountains are without first learning
about the great mountain system of
the earth. They are taught the unes-
sential facts of American history and
little If anything of the big, outstand- e
| ing facts of world history. In arith-
metic children of ten are doing frac-
tions when they have not been
Thoroughly grounded in simpler prob
lens and rules. They are expected to
know the names of local Mayor and
| Aldermen and are taught nothing
about the great men of to-day.
Is 1t any wonder that with such
system our university undergradu-
ates are "stumped" when asked about
such essentials as the solstice, the
only British possession in Central
America, the chief port of Argen-
tina, &C.?
Teaching. it seems TO me, is not
unlike painting a picture: First sketch
the outlines, block in the picture as
| a whole in broad masses, put in the
outstanding objects and then gradu'
lally add the details. In fact, the de-
tails may be left for the child to ado
himself as he goes through life. Oul
school system reverses this methoC
and begins with the details.

SETTLE IT IN LIFE.

THE legal tangle likely to follow the death of
Richard Croker is another excellent example
of the need for some agency to certify that testa
tor is competent to make will.
The Evening World has urged the creation of
such branch of the Surrogate's Office
If such an agency had existed, man as shrewd
as Richard Croker most assuredy would have
used it.
Mr.. Croker anticipated contest by his chill
dren. He did everything possible to transfer his
property before his death. He hoped to defeat
any effort to break his will If he had lived
longer he might have been able to do SO.
AS it is, the question of his competence to trans
fer property is already in the courts. The law
yers are already milking fees from his estate.
The case is before the Supreme Court of Florida
now. Judging by other celebrated contests over
property. it is likely to go to the United States
Supreme Court-perhaps more than once The
lawyers will profit
There should be an agency to settle such dis
putes while the testator is alive and able to be
heard.

The menace arises, as always,
through the fact that we are not deal
ing with sympathetic citizens endowed
with reason and conscience, but, as
your editorial pointed out, they are
persons who claim the right to do GER
| tain things but cry for punishment
against others opposed to them who
seek to do some of the very same
things, as in the case of agitating for
repeal of the Prohibition statute.
The Methodist Book Concern issues
a publication with this sentence
staring one in the face:
George Washington said, THE basis
of our political system is the right of
the people to make and alter their
Constitutions of Government
The Prohibitionists claimed the
right to change the Federal Constitu-
| ton; the Ants claim the same right,
and any attempt to interfere with this
right will bring mutiny. AS a further
example of consistency the same pub
| lication states that once Prohibition
| becomes the law of the land it must
stand "forever!" If this is true, why
don't the happy Drys laugh at the
stupid Vets fussing about something
that is to stand forever"
