HOW AMERICA LOOKS

Interestingly Told By Dr. Hugh Black At First Methodist Church Before T,arun Audience

pr. Hugh Black delivered an inter esting lecture on America Through Scottish Eyes" before an appreciative church last night. He kept his hear CTS in good humor and constant laugh ter by telling them a wealth of good country. Dr. Black has been in America but 16 years, having immi- grated here from Scotland.
 He said his best lecture could have been given after his first 16 days in America. He warned against the danger of nasty generalization in sZ- ing Up nation, and said that he would attempt to give a good ac-
 Dr. Black divided up his talk into guage. (s} SPonties'' and and (s5 ls'n Ten rem perament." He marveIed at the use of words in America, but said there was more corruption in literary Eng land than among millions of Ameri- cans. To Illustrate his point in the use of words he told the following
 ''One day was in a strange town and after wandering about I lost my way. met some children and think ing that if could reach the railroad station I might again find my way about the city, inquired the way to the station They told me the way and followed their directions. Well l found myself at the police station What I should have asked for was the depots''
 Another first impression that he can not say for England is the uni fornnity of the English language in America eff you are understood in New York; said Dr. Black, you are understood throughout the country" Black was the marvellous absorption of millions of Germans, Italians and others by America without taking one single word from their languages
 a f6a tics to a friend a few days after ar irving In the country he found that the word had bad odor. pr. Black said that he could not understand why the word had such a bad name and asked that it be rescued because some of the best men in the country were politicians; Every young American" said Dr. Black, should look forward to serving his country in politics."
 Localisn in politics was a fact that greatly impressed the doctor who be- lteves that it is the greatest draw back to America He said there were mary men in America who were born to serve their country but were un- able to do so because they happened either entirely Democratic or Repub- Hcan.
 "In England" he said, "po1ittcians who were defeated in one part of the were elected to the House of Com mops."
 Dr. Black hinted that Americans were afraid Of responsibility in hav- ing so many checks on their govern ment.
 In temperament, Americans inn pressed Prof. Black as very nervous and said that is probably was the eli ante. Americans are very optimistic toocrdlng to Dr. Black, so much so that this state might lead tt danger ouS results.
