YyHERE is classical story Of little boy who was
walking out with his father one day and saw COW.
He said: What is that Papaf" The answer was:
THAT i cow my SON." Whereupon the lad inquired:
ttWhyf"
This boy was philosopher
philosopher j. who wants to know the Of
things. He is not satisfied with appearances.
Everyone is kind Of philosopher that Isl he has
some kind Of philosophy for philosophy after all but
working plan Of life and you live without having
some sort Of plan.
There are those who regard philosophers entirely
less and themselves emnenty practical but underneath
every sort Of practically there lies philosophy.
Someone has said that everyone Patonian
Aristoian Which to say that everyone is born with
way Of looking things He will look them from
either the East or the West.
What call but the shreds Of philosophy
of lis remnants is philosophy that has been tried out and
reduced to commonplace where all handle it. It is
philosophy made understandable to the whole people
We cannot all be great thinkers like Emanuel Kant But
at least all think clearly If try and after all it
is clear thinking and not great thinking which required
of the world.
II is essential to clear thinking that we should not accept
anything until it is clearly proven The
accept someone's pse xit have opened the way to all
manner Of crednity.
IL everyone would be honest in saying 81 don't know
and stick this statement until he did know there would
be less Of false philosophy in the world
After all philosophy is system Of thought It is
endeavor to arrange the universe orderly fashion
that be comprehended by the mind Most education
consists in the ability to classify for classification is the
shortcut to knowledge When this classification is
measure complete, may be said to have system Of
philosophy.

The effect in the case OF the

the sky toward which the sun
moves. The star Vega happens
to lie quite near that point, and
consequently appears to be a CEN

on all sides move away. On the
other hand the stars behind the
moving sun appear to draw in
ward toward the point In the sky
from which the sun moves.
In principle this method IS Elk.

complication is introduced; but il

financial support of a number of
American music lovers and had been
organized to show the French public
the quality of the attainments of
American singers and also to Indicate
to the American public the need for
extension of the number of opera
houses in this country.
Among the Americans in the COM
pany, he said, are Rosa Ponseile.

YOUNG KAHN PLANS
. JAZZ REFORMATION
Bankers Son Seeks to Replace
Present Music With "American
Symphonic Syncopation."
BY ROBERT r. SMALL.
,ecial Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 1S.-Jazz music
is in for the big reform. The Otto
ii. Kahn millions-or at least q part
of them-are behind the movement.
If all goes well, today's jazz will be
replaced by American symphonic
syncopation.'
Roger Wolff Kahn, youngest son of
the famous banker and chairman of
the Metropolitan Opera Company, has
invented the new name for 1t, and he
is going to devote his life to the ele-
walton of the saxophone and its play
mates.
Mr. Kahn, senior, recently forbade
his son to play his saxophone in pub
lie or to make any publie. appear
ira, of which he is both patron and
member. But Monday night, while
Father Kahn was busy elsewhere and
while the worst storm in twenty years
swept the metropolis, young Kahn
made his deferred debut.
Won Fnther Over.
1t is believed now that young Kahn
won his father over because of his
high aims for jazz. Mr.. Kahn has
said before that he was glad his son
was taking an interest in music and
that ne felt something really Ameri-
can could be developed from the mu-
s;icsl expression now known as jazz
So that is the theme young Kahn is
to proceed upon.
Young Kahn is just as serious in
his effort to elevate jazz as his dis
tinguished father has been in the
development of grand opera in this
country. He believes jazz the best
medium for educating musical taste
generally.
Like Paul Whitenan, young Kahn
Seels that the musical taste can be
elevated by bringing the classics into
eyncopated arrangements
