WHAT PRICE EDUCATION?
(Better Schools League.)

Football looms large in the inter-
est of the nation. 1t is associated
almost wholly with our institutions
OF learning, and is conceded the
leader of sports, both in college and
high school.
This leads to speculation as to
the relative position Of the country's
sports and it's education. Education
is the very life Of the nation-sports
its pastime. The former, like our
water and air, is taken for granted
and almost considered routine; the
latter is dramatic, impulsive and
full of motion.
We are not belittling the value
of sports in the life of people; we
recognize their unifying influence in
our institutions. 1t is a healthful
sign when our citizens grow in their
love for outdoor play There is a
tendency, however, to indulge in
these exercises and sports purely by
proxy.
1t is fact that the nations ex-
penditure for spectacular sports
makes the outlay for education look
insignificant. We have recently
completed the world baseball series,
which approached $1,25O,000 gate
receipts; our last big prize fight,
| $2,O00,000. This latter figure is
but fraction Of the cost of the
fight when the other expenses of the
fans are estimated. The American
public paid this price for two
man combat that lasted a total Of
thirty-nine minutes, and yet in this
country we spend but billion and
a half dollars yearly to train twenty
three million boys and girls for a
fight that lasts an average approx
mating thirty-nine years.
There is another angle to this
viewpoint of relative values. A
middle western metropolitan news
paper sold $4,000 more copies the
morning after the Dempsey-Tunney
fight than it did the morning after
the election November 2. Sport
news is, therefore, looked upon as
| matter of great Importance by the
demand, naturally so. AS special
lied subject, it increasingly out
ranks the space of any other depart
| ment in the days news.
When the Corbett-Sullivan fight
| took place in 1892, a newspaper not
| overly devoted to sports printed
more than seven columns about it
during the two weeks Immediately
| preceding the contest. In 1923, for
like period previous to the Demp-
| sey-Firpo battle, the same paper
| used thirty-eight columns. In the
Dempsey-Tunney fight this year, the
same paper used ninety columns.
No process of thinking can lead us
to conclude that education has
gained corresponding emphasis.
Nor will it, until we have a shifting
of demand on the part of the public.
We believe in the manly art of
self-defense. Our conception of the
greatest self-defense, either for the
individual or the nation, is educa-
ton. 1t costs less and gives more.

THE GOOD HOUSES STOOD

Says NJ. S. Davies Warfeld president of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway:
While the loss of life entailed in Florida is
fortunate and regrettable, information is that
buildings erected under modern methods of architec
tural design and construction have whstood the temp
est in admirable shape the damage being local. such
plate glass and that class of damage.
Temporary buildings of fnsy construction
seriously damaged, together with hundreds of automo
bile camps composed of crib and construction
and the nnumerabe little booths that line the various
roads in Florida
This proves to be the every wind disaster of
late. When tornado struck Lorain. Ohio, two
three years ago, all the old rookeres which made the
city hdeous reduced heaps of bricks and splnt
ers. The good new buildings remained good and
In the long the city immensely benefited by
the swift disappearance of the unsafe and ugly stuff
Florida was full of fnsy buildings, many
places where winter is unknown. 1t is these which
have been blown into toothpicks. If the builders of
the present will learn lesson from the mistakes of
past, the Florida may greet the arrival of future
hurricanes not with smiles, because hurricane is
smiling matter, but with confidence in
the sounCness of its structures.

GRAND OPERA

John Mccormack told critic that he thought grand
opera udicrous and 'fe like fool when logged out
in regulation attempting warble his love to
fat prima DONNA. Galli-Curc agrees with him. and
says the ristocrats of the music world are
and symphony orchestras. She left impression on
the critics mind that to her grand opera is gor
fled show that falls short of getting across"
Maybe good many music lovers feel much
the same way about it. The essential artficiaty of
grand opera too great to make any verabe dramatic
appeal Viewed true drama, grand opera is blank
Viewed merely show, however, it ranks supreme
among shows. Eye and satisfied to the full,
and the emotions reused by the appeal of beauty
these senses are gratifed
There is always for differences in personal
taste. Some people prefer the cooratura, some the
mixed chorus, the symphony concert and some
the Sunday evening hymns at home. But it is as
foolish to make categorical comparisons in the field of
music as is discard the American beauty because
one has come upon stand for wild violets.
And so, bourgeois or plebean as the lure of grand
opera may be- taken exactly for what it is, gorfied
show it will continue to attract.

In his second group Mr.. de GogorZa
sang three German songs in excellent
lieder fashion, and gave Schumann's
Werlich in deinen augen SChen" as the
encore. His last group included un-
usually distinctive songs, "CantO del
Presidiario," by Alvarez: "Jota," one
of a charming group by de Falla, and
Valverde's brilliant and linguistically
tricky "Clavelitos." La Paloma" was
the encore.
