THERE was attraction at American League
i Park yesterday afternoon not heraded in
sporting pages or mentioned on score cards.
2, 1t might have caught the attention OF philoso
spher to whom home stolen bases meant
rpthing. 1t was the spirit OF republican democracy
enfolding the grandstands and the bleachers.
Baseball retains its hold most potent con-
Meeting link for all classes of American society.
The national game is almost the subject
OF common interest to the President of the United
States and the most ragged alley newsboy. to the
general OF the army and the garbage man, to the
slken-gowned society lady and the girl behind the
lace counter.
They all present yesterday-cheerng,
stamping their feet, thrilled by the exploits,
downcast by the same misfortunes the diamond.
All will be present. with more, less frequency.
until the is
American democracy is safe while the base
ball game remains to bind its discordant elements
together. In that interest there is neither
tongue nor color, creed party. The whole
less hopeful and inspiring.
From the sandlot to the big league the same
interest continues. Doubtless small boys in
Washington long to emulate Walter Johnson than
to reach the exalted seat of President Harding.
In boyhood wealth ancestry counts little in the
social scale compared to skill in baseball. This
feeling becomes deeply rooted that it remains
through the more serious years-to the good for
tune of real Americanism.

BELIEVES COLLEGE
COURSES TOO LONG

"a very whimsical situation is
that in educational organizations"
says President Harry Pratt Judson,
of the University of Chicago, in a
recent article. He continues: Few
things. IL any. are more complicat-
ed, more entangled one with another.
more difficult to reconstruct in any
new and simple way. A curious
body is a group of educators seek
ing solution of one of the many
Chinese puzzles in their calling.
There will be reams Of paper show
ing how things are, how they came
o be as they are. what are their
many and obvious infeIicities: then
what multitude of difficulties bris-
tie in the way of every approach
justment. Yes. there certainly
should be radical changes. but any
attempt to bring about such change
will at once cause more trouble than
1t can possibly render. j..

at is too long. Beginning theo-
retically with the age Of 6. there
are eight years in the elementary
school. four years in secondary school
and four years in a college. That
brings the average student, should
he go through all. TO the age of 22.
Then IL he goes on in a normal med
ical school of high grade. he takes
four years more. bringing him to
the age of 26. Then a year at least

tice OF his profession. It will be
then several years later before he
can find himself fairly established in
practice. and. really. to many the
age will be 80 or more.
I'm fact. the records show that
In our best medical schools the age
Of graduation Is about 26h. The
hand at least is more facile a few
years before that-the laboratory
training is more effective and per-
haps the mind is more flexible. The
course as a whole Is too long. In
its earlier years 1t is too long in de-
tail. The eight years of the ele-
mentary school should be six. An
actual test of a seven-grade ele-
mentary school has shown conclu-
sfvely that the eight grades Of work
can be done seven with no loss
Of training whatever. With proper
adjustment and proper attention to
sequence the same can be done In

Dislikes Prohibition,
Editor. The Washington Herald.


Replying to the contribution in
the Open Court, Prohibition a Sue
cess" The writer's interest in pub
lie welfare is sincere enough but his
reasoning is altogether illogical and
| inconsistent. His assertion that
| "the liquor traffic was an evil, and
the right way to deal with an evil
is to outlaw it," Were not the laws
attempting to regulate the manu-
facture and distribution Of liquors
less of an evil than the poisonous
unlicensed brew that thousands of
dllsrs are being daily spent for?
The reference to broken traffic
laws bring no argument for abol-
ishing them"
We do not abolish automobiles be-
cause all Of our traffic laws are not
| obeyed. We continue to regard
them as great factor in the pro-
motion of commerce and sociability.
and try to improve our traf11c laws
in regard to them.
The law against stealing. is not
in the same class as legislative laws.
That is basic principle and a
violation of the Ten Commandments,
recognized part of the moral code
, of all civilized nations. As for our
young men who put a thief into
the mouth to steal away their
brain" As history will tell us Dam
lei Webster and many of our famous
orators of the past were not total
abstainers. The present prohibit
tion laws have not produced their

Diplomacy seems to be lost art.
Most methods of social reform are
about as wise as the man who

The big honor Of winning the low

We're in fours except the sixteenth

With that fine medal play round.
Taylor begins to loom as dangerous
in the championship. Not only is ne
a good SHOEMAKER, but he Is a player
OF long tournament experience, which
will be OF value in tina match play.
Johnny Simpson. State champion,
was hitting them better IN his round,
yesterday, However, Simpson has
never been a medal play star in the
tournaments in which he has come
home first. The test Is different be-

Dan Sanders Of South Bend con
fesses he is no bear at medal play.
Yet his opponents know that he is
tough IN match play. Sanders hits a
long tee shot and is a good mash!o
player.
Besides Sanders there are several
other youngsters who have real golf
