what is described in special dia-
patches ms -the gravest crisis in
China since the Boxer rebellion The

Observations
Il. Faculty-By far the most i'm
portant factor in the success or fail
ure Of any school is the teaching and
supervision. Four Of the five depart
ments each have as their head a per-
son who holds an NJ. A. degree and
who is also a good teacher. Those
in charge are to be commended for
their good judgment in selecting
teachers For example, our Chem
istry Department. knowing Mr.
Schulze as they do, declared a will
lingness to approve his work without
investigation. The head Of the fifth
department. while not holding an
NJ. A. degree, has an excellent college
record for the B. A. and is quite ia
miliar with his subject. Superin-
tendent Yoe is wise in counsel, delib-
crate in judgment. and conservative,
but sufficiently aggressive, in lead
ership. Dean Dupre is well trained
and is vigorous and enthusiastic in
his work.
-. Library-The books in the Ii
brary not only meet the requirements
of the Association as to number but
are well chosen and are usable to a
large degree. A, full time attendant
is in charge and she is capable.

TROOPS LANDED AT HANk0W
Junior College
Building Here
Being Planned

A new junior college and senior
high school building costing from
100000 to 100000, will probably be
erected before the beginning Of the
next school term, on property located
between the present senior and ju-
nior high school buildings.
This became known with the re-
ceipt here of the report of Z. j.
Mathews, registrar of the University
of Texas, on the result Of his inspec-
tion of the newly established junior
college. The report praises the col
lege in very particular.
Plans for the proposed building
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1926-11-30

salon show will cost from $4,000
to $4,000.
An outstanding feature of the
season Is the application of the
antique craze to motor cars. One
maker, builder Of very inexpensive
cars, has "periodized" twelve
bodies of his more expensive brand
and wealthy buyers may now have
a car to match their colonial coun-
try house or their favorite cathed-
raj.
One Of the curious cars Of the
period group Is a perfect repro
duction in canary yellow and black
of a coaching brougham. An
eighteenth century body on a 1926
chassis boasts everything from
archaic outside hinges and "a
square window lamp near the
"coachman" to little leather tns-
sells ON the inside doors.
This is, however, frankly, sell
ing stunt, and according to tho
dealer. he can hardly expect
to sell it unless perhaps in Los
Angeles"
Internally, there are few innova-
tions this sessen cylinders still
running from six to twelve, with
eights prcdominating.

ready to strike out in every direction
of thought Certainly Capital re-
veals to us spirit Of astonishing
force and immense knowledge; but
for me, as for all who knew Marx

his writings show the whole magni-
tude of his genius and Of his knowl-
edge. He stood far above his works.

only the writer to whom he dictated;

easy and hard for him; easy since the
facts and reflections relating to. the
occasional theme crowded in profu-
sion before his minds eye at the first
stroke; but his profusion made the
complete presentation OF his ideas diff
dcult and lengthy.
vicO said, the thing is only body
for god who knows everything; for
man, who recognizes only externali-
ties, it is merely a surface" Marx
grasped things after the manner Of
Vico's god. He did not merely see
the surface, he penetrated to the
thing within, he investigated all ele-
ments in their actions and interac-
tons; he isolated every one of these
parts and traced the history of its
development. Then he proceeded
from the thing to its environment and
observed the effect of the latter upon
the former and vice versa he went
back to the origin of the object, to
the transformations, evolutions, and
revolutions which it had gone thru
and finally worked his way thru to
its remotest effects. He did not view

environment, but a whole complicated

For years l accompanied him on his

which Vico speaks, the impression
which they receive; their literary
work Is play compared to that of
Marx; 1t required an extraordinary
power of thought to grasp reality and
a no less unusual art to render back
what he saw and claimed to have
seen. He was never satisfied with
his work, constantly changing it and
always finding that the presentation
remained behind the conception. A
psychological study by Balzac, THE
Hidden Masterpiece" which lola mis-
erably plagiarized, made a deep inn
preston upon him because 1t de-
scribed, in part, emotions which he
himself had felt: gifted painter is
so tortured by the urge to render
things exactly as they are reflected
in his brain that he constantly pol
ishes and retouches his picture until
finally he had created nothing but a
formless mass Of paint which. in his
biased eyes, is, nevertheless, the most
perfect rendering Of reality.
Marx united in himself the two char
acteristics of a gifted thinker. He
was incompatible in dissecting a sub
ject into its component parts and
was a master in restoring the dis
|sected subject in all its details and
diverse forms of development and in
discovering their inner relationships.
His proof did not allow of abstrac-
tions, contrary to the charges of eco
nomists incapable of thinking; he did
not apply the method of geometri-
clans who, after having taken their
definitions from the world surround
ing them, entirely disregard reality
in drawing their conclusions. One
does not find a single definition in
I"Capital," not a single formula, but a
series Of analyses of the finest pre-
, cision, which reveal the most fleeting
nuances and the most imperceptible
degrees of difference. He begins with
statement of the obvious fact that
the wealth of those societies in which
| the capitalist method of production
predominates appears as a monstrous
collection OF commodities: the com
modify, something concrete. no math-
ematical abstraction, is therefore the
element, the unit of capitalist wealth.
Marx then holds fast to the commod-
ity, turns and twists 1t In every direc-
ton and inside out, enticing from Il
one secret after another OF which the
official economists had not even the
least suspicion, but which are never
theless more numerous and moro pro
found than the mysteries Of the cath
olic church. After he has investi
lgated the commodity from every an
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-10-23

gle, he examines it in relation to its
own kind, in exchange; then he goes
over to its production and to the his
torical prerequisites of its production.
He examines the forms in which the
commodity appears and shows how It
passes from one form to another, how
one necessarily gives rise to the other.
The logical development Of phenom-
ena is portrayed with such consum-
mate art that one could believe Marx
had invented it. and yet it has it's ORR
gin in reality and is a rendition Of the
actual dialectics Of the commodity.
Marx always worked with the ex-
tremest conscientiousness. He gave
neither fact nor number which could
not be supported by the best authori-
ties. He was not satisfied with COM
municating secondhand material; he
always went to the source itself, no
matter how laborious that might be;
for the sake of minor fact, he was
capable Of hurrying to the British
from the books there. Nor were his
critics ever in position to catch him
in any carelessness or to show him
that he was supporting his proof by
facts which could not bear a strong
test. His habit of going to the
sources had brought him to the point
Of reading the least known writer's
who were cited by him alone. Gap
itaP contains such a mass Of quota
tons from unknown writer's that one
might think it was done for the pur-
pose of displaying his extensive read
ing. Marx thought otherwise about
it: Il exercise historic justice; / give
every one his due" he said. He con-
sidered it his duty to name the writer,
no matter how Insignificant and I'M
known the latter might be, who had
first expressed an idea or by whom 1t
had been given its most exact express
sion.
His literary conscience was equally
as severe as his scientific one. He
would never make use of fact OF
which he was not quite certain; he
never allowed himself to talk about
subject before no had thoroly studied
It. He published nothing that he had
not repeatedly reworked and for
which he had not found a correspond
Ing form. He could not bear the
thought Of appearing before tho public
with an incomplete work; It would.
have been torture for him to show his
manuscripts before ne had put tho last
touch to them This feeling was so
strong in him that one day he told me
he would rather burn his manuscripts
than leave them behind unfinished.
