Science

Arthur r. Kinks. secretary of the
Royal Geographical Society of Eng.
lang, is urging the cooperation Of va
rtous countries In making a great
map Of the world. This map. made
in great detail and with the most care
full accuracy, would take several years
to construct and would cost an i'm.
mense sum. 1t would be Of priceless
value to commerce as we'll as to
science.
Geography has grown from a minor
study Of early childhood into one Of
the most important graduate division
subjects In the universities. The
science of geography now includes
the study of resources of a country,
political ljustments in the States that
have anything to do with such mat
ters as conservative and the study of
mans social life in relation to his sur.
roundings. The science has been de
veloped in the United States largely
through the efforts of the National
Geographical Society.
The construction of the man Of the
world on grand scale would further
stimulate interest in this study.

That way of talking is utter rot.

Son

A court case in Paris reveals that
a Frenchman cannot be personally
sued for breach-of-promise unless he
is 35 years old. Up to that age, the
legal action has to be directed at his
parents. You probably know that a
Frenchman under 35 cannot marry
without his parents consent.
This is carrying things to extremes.
However, we're nearly as extreme
the other way in America-children
taking charge of themselves and often
the rest of the family. American chill
dren need more disciplining, and
American parents need more respon-
sibility. The so-called disintegration
Of the American home is more the
fault of parents than Of children. Dis
cipline is the basis of individual char
acter and community progress.
