EVERYDAY QUESTIONS
Ans,cered by DIR. S. PARKES CADMAN

unequal events, the rest Of the centu'
ries take their respective places.
The thirteenth witnessed the
thought and labor of st. Thomas
Aquinas, the poetry Of Dante, the
spiritual romances of st. Francis, the
rise of Gothic architecture, the estab-
liShment of the universities, the aston
ishing advocacy of democratic prin-
ciples by Marsiglio and the golden
promise of better day which was
afterward submerged in the darkness
and bloodshed of the fourteenth Gen.
tury's incessant tumult and strife.
Frederic Harrison adJudged the thir-
teenth century the best. If the first is
excepted, am inclined to agree with
him.
New York City.
What percentage Of the men in a
large city like New York are honest
with themselves and straight with
women?
What percentage of women in such
a city are likewise honest with them
selves and lead upright and pure
lives?
Does not large city naturally af-
ford an opportunity for secret vice for
large proportion Of it's population?
Answer have lived in New York
for 80 years without discerning the
hypocrites you mention, or those who
lead avowedly dishonest or impure
lives. Doubtless much vice and crook
edness are concealed in so great a city
and similar centers. But their out
ward decOrum has vastly improved
since Lord Bryce wrote his American
Commonwealth"
1t is also a fair presumption that
the average city dweller tolls hard and
lives honorably within the circle OF
his or her legitimate interests. At any
rate, why not initiate the common law
and presume person innocent till he
or she is proved guilty. Some soured
social estimates start with the assump
ton of guilt and end with chagrin over
innocence.
1t was an old roue and a wholesale
political corruptionist who said that
every man had his price. Thus do we
conceive after our kind and are either
reluctant or ready to attribute good
or evil to our fellows according to our
own devices and desires.
The comparative morality Of rural
and urban regions does not sustain
your inference that secret vice flour
ishes in cities. Surely, it is not correct
to suggest that "a large proportion
Of their population is given to gross
depravity. I believe the contrary to
be true.

Reading Time.

many stories to appreciative audi
ences, and learn to read.
would not let child pass his sew
enth birthday without trying to teach
him to read and If he did not learn
something about it would be anxious
about his eyes and his language CEN
ter. I would keep on trying to teach
him to read until he could do so or l
knew the reason he could not.
1t is always better to read the story
aloud with him again and again until
he knows it pretty well by rote. Then
let him take the book and read by
himself. He will remember the story
and try to reproduce 1t from memory
but he will make many mistakes be-
cause you would not read it for him
so many times that he memorized It,.
AS he reads along from rote mem
ory, pick out a word here and there
and teach 1t. Remember that active
verbs are easiest taught. They are
the action words and mean more 10
the children than do the nouns al
though they come next A child loves
to dramatize what happened, what
somebody did. Then they like to say
over what this interesting creature or
person said. They are fond of naming
| things and a list of naming words
comes after the active verbs.
Do not be troubled because child
can read and does not know single

ing the words by location. This one

this one is on the end and that one
Is next to the one I know. That is
the way child learns to read. he
memories the place and the form of
the word but he will not know the
letters that compose it and that is
not necessary. Later on when he can
identify about two hundred words we
will teach him the phonic elements of
words, few diacritical marks, very
few, and then he begins to read in
dependently. He must never be per
mitted to spell words. He is taught
to sound them but not to spell them.

He will know many words but he will
not be able to spell them, not even to
recognize the letters. We do not let
him say the letter, only the sounds
concern him as he tries to read. The
letters come later when he needs
them.
1t helps slow children to have pic
ture books and to read the pictures
The picture tells a story itself and the
slow child can read his own story
from the picture. In this way he in
creases his vocabulary and strength
ems his language power. Later on
this helps him to begin reading. A
certain language power is essential
before the child learns to read.
Little children learn to read the
rhymes in their nursery books. Read
these with them without asking them
to identify words and when they hold
PusS in Boots upside down and read
the story, praise them and go on from
there. The handling of the book. the
memory of the pictures, the memory
of the words of the story and his
rhyme feeds the growing language
powers and helps the child to rea,
later on. But 1 would not let thpi
seventh birthday pass without teac---
| ing the child to read correctly.

Wi11iamsport, Pa.
What do you say of the physical
and moral effects on young people of
aight parties, which run from IL pm.
TO 3 or am?
Answer-Simply this, that their
benfit depends upon their infre-
quency. AS properly conducted occa-
sional events and celebrations of
happy and outstanding days, 1. for
one, see little in them to criticize and
much to commend. Let youth have
it's legitimate fling and take it in ways
which leave no bitter lees in the wine
Of remembrance.
But If night parties become a fixed
habit, consuming vital energy, demor-
aliZing body and soul and flouting ma
ture's ineXorable laws, they need ac-
tive restraint, not long-winded advice.
Where do the parents of these young
people enter this picture of day turned
into night? Surely, If they cannot
manage the issue, preachers will never
do so. The last resort Of those who
cruelty their health and capacity by
their misuse of pleasure Is the doctor,
who has to patch up broken nerves
and dispel morbid behavior.
It Is well to recall, however, that
the vast majority of Americans have
to sleep in the night or they could not
be as alert as they are during the day.
But some nighthaWks hardly know the
difference between sleeping and wax
ing except when they face the in
evitable reckoning for their folly.
Buenor Aires, S. A.
In your opinion, what century Of the
Christian era was the greatest, and
why?
Answer-This is entirely a matter of
preference. Lovers Of poetry may
choose the century that gave us Dante,
or again that of Shakespeare. Lovers
of art would probably indicate the era
of the Renaissance, or the periods of
arts later development in Italy, Spain,
France and Holland. Lovers of sci
ence may claim the age of Newton or
of Darwin as pre-eminent.
Those who acclaim the expansion of
political rights or of inventions and
trade can quote the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. Whoever de-
lights in war can point to the tragedy
Of our own century as outdoing past
records of battle.
My choice is the first century, If
for no other reason than it dates all
it's successors from the birth of Christ.
Then followed the emergence of those
incompatible religious leaders who
planted the Christian church in the
Roman empire. Subordinate to these

Albert d. Hayford yesterday, when
asked If any reply would be made
to the questions asked by the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in his
Rockland address, in which he ask
ed for an accounting for sum
which he states amounted to $312,-
600, which lapsed over from Ex-
Governor Bakers administration.
State Auditor Hayford, who ap-
pears very much unconcerned at the
charges SO far made by Mr.. Mclean,
added that nothing would be given
out by him until after the return OF
Governor Brewster from Wyoming.
and intimated that it was not GER
tain that anything would be said at
that time unless there appeared to
be a popular demand for an expla-
nation which he did not appear to
deem particularly necessary.
There is a possibility that the Re-
publican State Committee may see
fit to make some statement concern

Monsignor Crespi,
Catholic Ordered
To Leave Mexico

Mexico City, July 30.-(P)-Mon-
signor Tito Crespi, in charge of the
apostolic delegation in Mexico City
since the expulsion of Mgr. Caruana,
the papal nuncio, was ordered eX-
PEELED from the country today. The
order came at the direction of Pres
ident Gales because the government
considered his presence ''inconve-
nient."
Monsignor Crespi was given "a
hours to depart, but on intervention
of the Italian legation the time was
extended to 4S hours. He will, how
ever, leave tomorrow night for Lin
den, n. j., where he will visit rela-
tives for few days, on his way to
Rome.

Press Mgr. Cespi said:
II am leaving Mexico with a clean
conscience. I have not taken par
ticipation, whatever the present re-
ligious conflict. which has been ham
died solely by Mexican archbishops
and bishops. My attitude has been
absolutely neutral in all Mexican To-
cal affairs. and the authorities are

SHORTAGE $4,000
Barred In CITY OF
FALL RIVER, MASS.

Fall River. Mass, July 30.-P)-
Mayor Edmond f. Talbot tonight
confirmed a report that a shortage
existed in the city funds and placed
the total at $4,000. Early this year
the mayor employed the firm of
George M. Wright of Providence to
make a special audit of the city's
books.
The first discrepancy, the mayor
said, appeared in 1913 when the ac-
counts were $500 short Gradually
since that time the amount in
creased, the audit showed, until on
April l, 1928, the total reached $16.-
$500. Since then restoration had
been made to bring the total defal-
cation down to $4,000.
The mayor declined to make pub
lie the name of the employee sus-
pected, although it was said unoffi-
cially that he is now dead.
1t was said that while the audit
was not complete. it was considered
unlikely that any further shortage
would be disclosed.
