Robinson makes one great sug-
gestion for al of us--for the benefit
Of all of US. He calls for smaller
books, in simpler, clearer language,
at lower prices, so that when book
of truths OF. facts comes out there
may be million sold instead Of just
a hundred thousand. That is a good
idea. 49,
( Robinson hopes teachers and writ
ers, too, will get away from being
bound by ancient notions. New knowl-
edge blasts so many ancient notions.
But people cling to their ancient no
tons, to their tribal gods, to tradi-
lions and all the hokum that is hand
ed down through the generations.
Read this little book if you can,
But in any event, be wonderer about
things. Demand exact knowledge,
even If it threatens your comfort and
holds frecracker under some pet
belief. It must have been darned IN
comfortable at first to believe that
the world was round, but finally il
had to be admitted and understood.

Robinson points out one interesting
thing, which is that folks don't learn
by any system. They may be taught
by system, but the things they real
ly learned are gathered in all manner
of moods, times, places and circum-
stances.
They get curious about something
and then they try to find out about
it. If it isn't too difficult they sue
coed in finding out. Robinson would
make it easy--or easier, at any rate,
for US to find out about those things
that arouse our curiosity He wants
more wonderers in the world sand
more ways of satisfying that wonder
ment. That's a good idea. ts

OF course we mustn't give all our
time to books, and perhaps book talk
two weeks in succession is too much,
but, as Cicero said, be that as it may,
here goes.
This time we peep into 3 little
Workers Bookshelf book called "The
Humanizing Of Knowledge" written
by James Harvey Robinson. / could
wish Robinson would quit talking 50
much about H.. G. Wells, because
Wells humanizes bunk as well as
knowledge.
But Robinson makes such power
full, and wholly human, plea fer bring
ing knowledge down to earth where
folks can get at it that his book is
worth twice reading. It ought topibe
read to that jury in Tennessee III Is
going to try young Mr.. Scopeg for
the crime of teaching q little bit of
useful truth to students who need
much more than he can ever teach
them.
Robinson goes after pretty much
the whole teaching and scientific
world for creating barrier around
knowledge and for talking to each
other about what they learn in a lingo
that ordinary folks can't understand.
He believes everything that Is known
should be told to folks IN their own
words SO that they can understand It.
Let the average man or woman, to
say nothing of the average youth, try
to make out what a scientist is talk
ing about when he is writing Of his
latest discovery He might as well
try to understand Chinese.
Take what man has learned in the
last ten years about biology, chem
istry, anthropology, psychology and a
hundred other things. How much do
we know about those things? How
much can we learn even when we get
SO we want to know? Precious little,
indeed, unless we learn the scientific
lingo and hunt like mad.

A good deal of fun is poked at col
lege presidents who plead for freedom
to teach and who declare that they
have that freedom, but who at the
same time are walking on eggs so as
not to disturb any finicky donor or
trustee. They have to compromise
right along and that looks funny to
Robinson.
The author points out the truth that
the human race is naturally hostile to
knowledge. It prefers its faiths and
its superstitions. 1t would rather be-
lieve than find out. When knowledge
is hard to get at or is wrapped in
steel castings, fiction persists so much
longer. He wants as to look at our
surroundings and at ourselves scien-
tifcally; that is, intelligently. Here
is his definition Of science:
Science, in short, includes all the
careful and critical knowledge we
have about anything Of which we can
come to know something"
That takes science out of the realm
Of something to get scared of and
puts It down among our everyday
tools. We can all use science If we

LEGISLATION BY AMENDMENT
(San Francisco Bulletin)


John II. Wigmore. dean of the
law faculty of Northwestern uni
versity. delivered himself before
the San Francisco Bar association
the other day of some sound sense
about laws and government which
it would be we'll for some Of our
more Jealous uplifters to take to
heart. He deplored the tendency
OF social rebuilders to rush to
Washington and procure the pass
age of federal laws and constitu-
tional amendments which many Of
the states do not want and would
not enact Of their own choice.
The constitution authorizes it's
own amendment. which is rare
thing in governmental system. But
amendment ought to he confined to
general and fundamental changes
and should not be resorted to for
purposes of particular legislation.

work badly in another; and amend

may easily become an instrument

rest

We could be certain that the laws
so agreed upon represented the
wishes Of the majority Of the peo-
pie. But there is too much govern
ment by active minorities and the
same abuse might assert itself
even in a congress of representa-
tives of state governments.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO RUTH BURKE, con-
TINTED

sgd says that when he had about
reached the landing-he is rather
uncertain on the point, because
everything was happening so fast
and furious--that he could indis-
tinctly see two men stoop and pick
up an inanimate form and carry it
into the drawing room and out
through the French window.
Still thinking it was l, sgd rushed
after them. The automobile they
had parked with the engine running,
started off almost before they had
thrown poor Zoe into the tonneau.
Sgd, with great presence of mind,
caught hold of the tire rack and
chung on, unknown to those in the
car.
They drove to the warehouse where
Jack found Zoe, and two of the men
carried her in. He heard one TO the
men say that he didn't think she
was dead but that he would kill her
if she didn't come across.
With burst of profanity he talked
about her double crossing them.
It was here that sgd learned that
it was Zoe instead Of me and the
telephone conversation came back to
him.
They drove the car into an alley
way and as they rounded the corner
going in. sgd dropped off. and
crouched behind a barrel until the
driver had himself entered the
building.

very late and he knew no place to do
this. Feeling that the emergency
was great he followed as quietly as
he could into the warehouse.
There he dropped in shadow be-
hind a half open door.
Zoe was lying on the floor in the
middle of half circle composed of
five men-one of whom pulled her
roughly to a sitting posture. Her
head, he said, was bleeding badly.
The poor girl did not seem to real

on the floor when the man let 60 of

Zoe would only moan in reply.

manners and the intonation Of a

that one of the men rushed forward
