American democracy. We have seen State
the forceable imposition upon the common
wealth of the particular views OF particular in
dividuals New York, for instance, would cen
sor our history books New Jersey bar any
complimentary mention of the British from
her schools, and Oregon prohibit attendance at
private schools
Too Much Canned Thinking.
We know that the survival OF democracy
is dependent upon discussion, upon the freedom
of thought and of speech. and yet, knowing
this we want to dictate the channels which
our children's thought should take. No democ
racy can survive except upon foundation of
sympathy, tolerance and intelligence.
@. Where have the colleges failed in this?
A. The colleges have overspecialized and
overprofessionalized. After a man leaves col
lege every minute of his time for two or three
his new business. Therefore, the college period
is the only one left open to study life In its
entirety rather than to study the one special
groove which will net him the best income
after graduation.
The trouble with a college education today
is that it teaches men how to make living
rather than how to live. The chemistry de-
partment. for instance. teaches men how to
make money by chemistry rather than how
to make life more livable by chemistry.
@. Are the colleges becoming even more
specialized?
A. No; they improving. Our college
curriculum is undergoing very close scrutiny.
We realize that there Is something an1iss. The
student himself is taking interest in the
problem and that is most encouraging.

directing the destinies Of some great corpora.
tiOn
In other words Livingston Farrand is an
executive. He proved that so thoroughly when
he was president Of the University Of Colorado
that the Government selected him to head the
gigantic wartime organization of the Red
Cross.
But Farrand happens to be more interested
in directing the destinies of young men and
women than he is In making money, and there
fore. found him in a. plain but homy Office
overlooking Cornelrs beautiful campus.
After explaining to DR.. Farrand that was
quizzing a number of college presidents on
modern education and its relation to the jazz
age Of youth. he said that he would be willing
to take the witness stand and answer my cross
questioning. So asked:
@. DIR. Farrand what is the greatest defect
in our present-day education?
A.. Overspecialization. Certainly this is the
greatest defect in the colleges. and I believe
also in entire field Of public and high school
education,
BY specialization mean spending SO much
time the mechanics Of steam engines that
we have no time left for studying the mechan-
les of life. I consider that good engineer
should not know steam engines to the exclu-
sion of all else. but that he should have back
ground Of history and literature and political
economy. so that he can link his engineering
world up with the rest of mankind. II he
knows nothing but steam engines. he forgets
all else around him. He forgets that the sue
of democracy is dependent upon his par
ticipation in it, that he has an obligation to
his neighbors. He forgets to vote.
Students Get in Grooves.
The man who thinks in a groove is not
good citizen. His groove may be more impor
tant to him that any other in the world. but
he never gets out Of it. He never jumps the
wall of his own special field. So he becomes
narrow. He no longer has q challenging frame
of mind, but begins to take things for granted
II Watt had taken for granted the steam
which he saw coming from the tea-kettle
should never have had the steam engine. The
specialized man reads only the papers with
which he agrees, and talks only to the men
who share his opinions and live his kind of
life. He fails to get understand the other
fellows point Of view
@. What is the effect of this type Of educa-
tion upon the country?
A. It breaks the country up into different
groups. Each group has an absolutely differ
ent point of view They fail to understand

all their time and energy before the to

Of this overspecialization.

British Are Trained
For Life of Settler

Unusual interest has been created
by the plan of sending out from Eng
land to the colonies and dominions
groups of men and women selected
from various districts and carefully
trained to take up the life of settlers.
A committee recently formed in Lon
don is recruiting a new Community
settlement" from the ranks of retired
omcers and civil servants who fnd
it increasingly difficult with their
comparatively small pensions to main
tain in England the standards of life
to which they have been accustomed.
1t is proposed to gather communities
OF 60 or 20 families and train them
in England on 2-acre garden plots.
Each prospective settler will thus
gain some experience of farming and
at the end of FIVE years the whole
group will be moved to a homestead
in South Africa, Canada or Australia.
Meanwhile, it is believed, they will
be able to pay their way from the
produce of their gardens.

! Few experiences in life have a more
determining influence upon character
than that which marks the breaking

Citations have a tendency to either

| qualities Of our nature. When Robert
Louis Stevenson, restless in spirit, left
his old Scotch home and ventured
forth to make his career In Paris, his
letters to his father disclosed the
strain and suffering he experienced as
he attempted to resist influences that
conspired to disillusion and to de-
stroy the ideals of his youth. Amidst
the colorful scenes Of Paris the sur
roundings of his Scotch home, for the
while, looked gray and uninteresting
to him.
The impact of the new forces that
played about his life tended to dissi-
pate earlier and more wholesome i'm.
pressions. Writing on one occasion to
his father. he declared that There is
manifest God in the world for those
who try to find Him. In an hour of
great mental anguish and physical de-
preston he writes, II am climbing the
bare stairs of duty step by step. see
the good in the inch, and cling to It,"
With home ties severed he was still
experiencing yearning for that which
had been inculcated under the old
roof-trees. 1t was this backward

Using the homely setting Of that
which is most familiar, the great Mas
ter sought to indicate the dangers
that attend breaking home ties. Some
time, somewhere in our Hfe's expert
ence we can recall the day. perhaps
the hour, when we ceased to regard
our obligations to the Great Father
and when our habits of devotion be-
came matters of Indifference to us.
Perhaps at the first it was almost an
unconscious withdrawal from the ear.

did not mean to withdraw wholly Hrom
old practices nor did we mean to sever
our relations with influences and
agencies that were associated with the
more sacred things of earlier life. Per-
haps we did not realize the gradual
change that was taking place within
us. To the minds of Jesus the aban-
donment Of the Fathers love. the
breaking Of home ties. was the out
standing sin Of the youth in the para
BILE. Normal living means a conscious
and unhindered relationship with the
Father. Abnormal living is abandon

to give the President power to appoint
executive officers without confirma-

1t possible for a President to reward

in their wisdom delegated joint execu-

New Type Watch Dog
Introduced in London

A new kind Of q watch dog has
made its appearance in London.
These dogs do not need any special
training to be eficient, nor do they
difrer in pedigree from any Of the
other useless laphounds that escort
their mistresses on sunny afternoons
along the Mall.
What makes these pets distinctive
Is that on their collars they wear
tiny watches, often set with gems
and som etimes with little bells that
strike the hours. A woman from

having started the fashion, which the
Bond street jewelers. were not slow

Colleges Turning Out Machine Minds,
Says Educator, Who Hits Specialization

Recently it was recommended that medical
students have their hours Of Ctudy reduced
from $500 to between $500 and 400, In order
that tkey might have more time for general
reading.
No Reds in Colleges.
A big engineer-one Of the biggest in his
held-told me not long ago that II he had his
college course to take over again, he would
take -four years Of physics. four years OF
chemistry, enough mathematics to get the
hang Of it, spend the rest Of his time on Eng
lish, history and philosophy and not waste a
minute on that dern thing they call engineer
ing"
Another encouraging sign among the col.
IeEes Is that they are beginning to teach the
problem Of the present rather than the history
of the past.
Q. Are there any other outstanding defects
in present-day education?
A. Most Of the others are ofshoots from
what I consider the worst fault-specialization
For instance, the college student is the most
conservative person in this country-at least,
consider him so. Some people are afraid OF
red seeds being sewn In the colleges, but that
is the last thing in the world to worry about

the great mass are distinctly conservative.
sometimes wish they were less reactionary
I believe that this conservatism is due to
the routine and grind Of the college system
which makes every man conform to the same
mold This problem of eliminating the fac
tory grind from the college is one OF our great
est. The tendency is to pull brilliant stu.
dent down to the level with the rest, and turn
him out according to one pattern, like Ford
parts coming through on factory belt.
We are trying to care for these brilliant men
in special 'honors'' courses, in which they can
work on their own responsibility. as In the Eng
lish universities
@. Are there too many students in the col
leges today?
A. No. the saturation point hasn't been
reached-K there il saturation point. But
there are a lot Of men here who ought not to
be here and doubtless a lot OF men on the out
side who should be here.
Future Is Pulling.
y @. Do you refer to rich mems sons who
come to get social education?
A. No. do not think that criticism is
justified, although we do have many wealthy
men who come with the idea of getting a social
polish Sometimes they make good students,
sometimes bad. We always out to encour-
age the boy or girl who has to work way
through college. They make splendid type
Of young man or womanhood.
But every college needs a better method Of
selecting its students. They should be chosen
not altogether by scholastic requirements. but
on the basis OF character.
am not pessimistic about present con-
dition of education, but I am puzzled about the
future. However. when I look back at the
strides have taken since this country was
born I am not only encouraged, but know
we are coming out all right.
Finally. let me say that conceive it the
place of the schools and colleges to promote
better citizenship and to lead the Nation.
Specialized and technical educations do not
broaden our citizens into great leaders.

Jugoslav Soldiers
Divide on Etiquette

In the Jugoslav army there is to-
be observed an interesting difference
in military manners. The army is
composed of Serbs, Croats and Slo- :
venes. The traditions of the Serbs
favor the spirit Of comradeship be-
tween officers and men. OF duty the
two regard each other as equals. The
Croats and Slovenes have been ac-

is modelled on the Prussian. under
which the men are regarded as in

jaNrney into a far country"
frTHE greatest story ever told. y
is what modern, distin
guished writer calls 'the
81 1 parable of the prodigal
son." He holds that it
contains within itself the supremest
teaching of Christ. Another writer
calls 1t the "lIvangel within the
Evangel." The central figure in the
STORY is not the erring son. but the
altloying father. Addressed. as it
was. to the Oriental mind and in a
cidents that are common to life the
world over. The Master took for the
setting of His story the home. ana the
characters are familiar to all of us.
A. loving father had two sons upon
whom he lavished >all his affection.
When the younger came to his ma
jority he approached his father asking
that his portion of the Inheritance be
given him. In his request he dis
closed the spirit of restless.oss and a
yearning for freedom fr,ru the re-
stxaints of home life. Like many a
young man, he would <anture forth
into the great world g action. He
sought independence ana larger free
dom. Once he was possessed of his
patrimony "he gathered all together
and took his journey into a far coun-
try, and there wasted his substance
with riotous living"
TO- y X y X
AS the Master related the story He
did, not indicate that there was any
thing unwholesome or ungenerous in
the. youth. He vas simply governed
by. youthful imT TIAlses. The sin of the
boy was not sss much his desire for
his inheritancs as his disposition to
break with horne life and the fathers
love. 1t was primarily his indifference
to-vthe fathers affection that con-
stituted his great offenSe. The scene
described is so homely and common
place that we witness it in our ex-
perience from day to day.
One of the most striking pictures
that hung in the gallery at the Chi
cago exposition was entitled Break
ing Home Ties" 1t attracted more
attention than any other picture that
hung in the great gallery. 1t repre-
sented a youth of the countryside bid
diifg' goodbye to his aged father and
mother, setting out on the great quest
for'fame and fortune. So cleverly had
the artist presented the homely scene
that one could almost catch the tones
of the parting message of the mother
and the expressed solicitude of the
father as the lad abandoned the roof
that had sheltered him from his
earliest days. Imagination conceived
of the boy, when once the home ties
were cut, living his life in a new
enykVnment, amidst strange scenes
and with new companions. environed
