an even higher plane OF mental

It is the training he gets IN such

intelligence to a point that, even

high speeds with as much conf
dence as he now experiences when
driving at 80 miles an hour.
Faster driving cannot be 1egis-
lated against effectively. Several
States already have increased their
so-called speed limits, with FoTn-
paratively little enforcement for
violations. This is because high.
ways are straighter, wider and
smoother, and because cars are in

NEW YORK, Dec. S-For years
Palmer c. Hayden, has been clean
ing houses and washing windows to
make living, and during his spare
time has gone back to his room at
29 Greenwich Avenue to dabble in
oil colors and paint coast and river
scenes which appealed to him Yes
terday he received the first prize in
line arts from the Harmon FouudaL
ton aHdl the Commission on the.
Church and Race Relations Of the
Federal Council of Churches
Only a few of Hayden's friends
have Known OF his artistic Efforts.
Ee painted for the joy Of it. and not
because he hoped to win any great
appreciation OF his efforts But when
five of his paintings we're submitted
to the Foundation depicting water
scenes near Portland, Me, Hayer-
straw, n Y, and other hooks. the
jury decided that he had done un-
usual work for q man with so little
training and subject to such han
dicap of limited opportunity
The judges who awarded to him
the first prize of $500 with gold
medal were William A Boring. dir
rector. School of Architecture, Co

sign: Laura Wheeler. artist and

was born at Whitewater, Va The
second prize of 800 and bronze

These were emily two OF the awards
of $500 and 800 with medals made

ance that fair play will be the mode
of procedure and that plain, unal-
loyed justice will be the outcome.
AS the matter now stands, Editor
Bryant's purpose is to produce a rev.
olution within the confines of the
organization itself. Should a hearing
not be accorded and drastic means
resorted. to, a split in the Church
itself must inevitably result. We
have read the issues of this journal
and we hope that some way will be
found to bring about a change in
the alleged conditions and that the
court of last resort" the American
African Methodist Episcopal Church
people will rise in their might and
either silence Editor Bryant or force
TIE Church leaders to investigate the
charges and decide upon plan to
remedy and correct these grievous
alleged conditions.
We pause to incidentally remark
that Editor Bryant should state the
facts without permeating them with
thievery rape and other extreme de
h"nNlations These facts if true will
speak for themselves and the people
viii supply the proper words of con-
demnation.

PRESIDENT BUTLER's WARNING.

President Nicholas Butler of Co
lumbia University, New York, is one
of the truly great men Of the coun-
try He belongs to that type of
statesmen, who have 'gone the way
OF all the earth" His warnings will
not be needed today or tomorrow,
but the wisdom of what he says and
has said will be demonstrated during
this century. In an extended COM
munication. the news columns of the
New York Times contain the follow
ing remarkable declarations, stand
ing out in their transcendent truisms
like the Ten Commandments of the
Holy Writ:
"Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Pres
ident of Columbia University. in his
annual report to the trustees, made
public yesterday, asserted that the
universities were the only present
home of liberty and apparently it's
only hope"
HE charged that intolerance pre-
vailed in Church and State to such
an extent that if it invaded the uni
versities in the same degree it would
mean "a new and dismal Dark Age ,
Attacking a new 'Philistinism
in modern literature and educati ton,
he accused the new Philistines of
'displacing discipline for indiscipline
thoroughness for superficiality, schol
arship for deftly organized oppor-
tunities for ignorance, and morals
for impulsive and appetitive con
duct They were party responsible
he declared for the ills OF modern
society. To overcome their infiu'
"ence, he called for revival OF the
classic spirit in modern education"
How can DR.. Nicholas Butler Sc
cure revival of the classic spirit in
the face of indiscipline and the lack
of thoroughness? In the wild race
for students with influence and mon
ey, thoroughness has been forgotten.
When efficiency Of the West Poin
type is insisted upon and the type
of student life, which recognizes on
ly athletic games and influence as
the means TO get diploma, which
accords to the holder high stand
ing of efficiency, which he never at
tanned has been eliminated then the
ideals of this distinguished econo-
mist and educator will be rea .ized.
and not until then.
The English and German standard
OF efficiency is needed in this coun-
try. II can come only with parental
control and most of these students,
or at least many Of them are sent
away from home to the educational
centres in order to avoid this very
type of idealism, which is to form
the bedrock principle of instruction
in our rising generation
