The Story the Week Has Told

Glory was lost approximately where It
is estimated that Nungesser and Coli,
and, in turn, Capt. Hamilton and his
companions, came to grief.
1t would appear that for fight over
oceans land planes have been suf-

agree with the statement by famous
aviator that the only kind of supra
oceanic fight justified is one by a
plural-motor hydroplane equipped with
radio and other safety devices.

Filipino Artisans
Lack Full Credit

The artisanship of F'ilipinos is often
eclipsed behind the names of the for.
eigners employing them. For example,
Spanish friar is credited with max.
ing the famous bamboo pipe organ"
Of Las Pinas parish church, when, in
fact, the organ was made by humble
native parishioner and remained, VIII n
old, out of commission for many years
OR until a grandson of the original
craftsman was found to whom the art
had descended by inheritance. That Is
why tourists rhapsodize about this
strange specimen of the organmaker's
art, for it is truly remarkable and ex.
hibitS wonderful tone. It's maker and
the grandson who repaired it remain
unknown. Praise is placed where it
doesn't belong. A later example is a

None, apparently, but 5eecher
liked the people and every Sun
day preached his best.
One day he was surprised to
receive an invitation from a big
church in Brooklyn. How had
it's members ever learned Of
him? He discovered later. One
of then, a chance visitor in the
little Western town, had never
forgotten the young preacher
who was obviously so much big
ger than his job.
"The office is beneath you," ex-
claimed the friends of Horace
Mann, when he resigned his bril-
liant prospects at the bar to
become secretary Of the Massa-
chusetts board of election.
"If the title is not sufficiently
honorable now, then it is clearly
left for me to elevate it," he an
swered. ~ had rather be creditor
than debtor to the title"
He made that despised Office
one of the most powerful infiu-
ences in the Nation.

university a number of rare books. l told
her what lot of good she had done the uni

They give everything and never ask anything
And this boy was a regular herman. This
represents the new spirit of seriousness that
is dawning in our colleges. Much of the old
froth of college activities is vanishing. In its
place thoughtful. serious.minded students are
coming. The future looks bright for education"
'You no doubt. have read the Revolt of
Youth by Judge Lindsey. I wanted to ask
you If you agree that high school students and
college boys are to be regulated by appealing
to their reason rather than by resorting to
the principle of authority asked
Appealing to the reason Of a student Is of
great value. But It has its limits. There are
some things that we should compel the
younger generation to do. Many times be.
cause the older generation applauds the ath-
Ietc feats of the young they think they are
quite able to take care of themselves. Youth
can break athletic records. But in the field
of human conduct the older generation has
much to teach them. The difference between
the old and the new generation Is that young

marriages were recorded in Leningrao

~ YHY Is 1t that the boy who goes
- n | to college finds that there is far
wv greater prestige attached to
making the track team, breaking
a pole vaulting record, scoring touchdown or
winning by a knockout than in standing at
the head Of ones class, making Phi Beta
Kappa, winning an oratorical prize or literary
contest, or composing original poem?'
DIR. Penniman, president of the University
Of Pennsylvania, thus summed up the SUBJ
stance of number Of queries that had put
to him. He seemed quite interested. Thus
encouraged / advanced a little further in the
discussion. Perhaps" / suggested. colleges
do not invest intellectual achievements with
a proper amount of official ceremony. Suppose
those who made Phi Beta Kappa were to wake
up and find their names blazed on the front
page of the college daily and were inducted
into this intellectual fraternity by an impress
sive outdoor function attended by all college
students which would resemble the famous
tap day at Yale.
Suppose that the winner of the oratorical
prize, the champion debater or most dis
tinguished writer should be paraded in front
of the whole student body and hear themselves
the recipients of laudatory words from the
president and experience congratulatory hand
shakes from the faculty assembled in impres.
sive academic robes to make over the latest
intellectual winner. Perhaps by such official
ceremonies we might increase the prestige in
college life of intellectual leaders"
DR.. Penniman comes from famous tree Of
learning. His father James Lanman Penniman,
was one OF the foremost scholars of his day.
Young Joshua was brought up surrounded
by books and accustomed to the most pene.
trating discussion Of intellectual subjects at
the family table. This early training left
indelible impress on his personality. I found
him with the dignity of the scholar. but. also
with a degree of geniality and friendliness
which proved that learning need not always
be associated with coldness Of manner. And
DR.. Penniman gave me very astounding
explanation Of why students and even fathers
and mothers seem to think more OF athletic
triumphs judged by their patronage Of
these events than Of forensic intellectual
feats.- and why 1t Is practically impossible to
put intellectual accomplishments equal
footing of prestige with athletic spectacles in
college.

Former President. American Bar Association.
Government to satisfy the people
must be efficient. We have made
great advances and improvements in
manufactures, transportation and
agriculture in recent years. We are
more efficient in all these lines than
those who preceded US. The tele.
phone, automobile, airplane. radio,
motor boat, tractor. auto truck. com.
bine, have come into use within the
memory Of men now living. We have
also improved the railroad, telegraph,
ocean cable and steamship until they
hardly resemble things of the same
name that our fathers had.
No one win claim that we have
made the same progress in govern
ment, in legislative and judicial pro-
cedure. In the making Of laws the
quantity has increased. but how about
the quality? In judicial procedure are
our courts more efficient? Is justice
administered more certainly and
speedily? Who will say that 1t is?
We far surpass the age In which our
Federal Constitution was made in
efficiency in applied science and
mechanics. but in the science Of gov
ernment they surpass US.

In recent years in our legislation,
State and national, we have tried to
make this a pure democracy. 1t is

What have we done in recent years
TO change it? We have abandoned

ways to which I believe we will re

primary.
The initiative and referendum as
surnes that the Legislature and Con

that no man can be trusted to repre-

Urges Blasting Away
OF Gibraltar Barrier

Surrounded by the worlds Oldest
civilizations, the Mediterranean yet
has never been completely explored
for its fauna. This is peculiar owing
to the virtual separation of the Medi.
terranean waters from those of the
Atlantic because of the shallowness Of
the Strait Of Gibraltar. A Danish
photographer who has made a life
study of the Mediterranean proposes
that Gibraltar, which forms natural
barrier for marine currents, be tun.
neled or blasted away so as to estab:
lish better circulation between the
ocean and the sea. A bigger channel,
he believes, would lead to phenomenal
changes in the Mediterranean bed.
