PLEA IS VOICED FOR
GEOGRAPHY TEACHING
Pushed of School Course; Pupils
Ignorant of World.
BIZ Science Service

by SC1ehCe S6TDtce
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-High
school boys and girls do not pick
up" much geography while study
in gtheir other lessons, as optimis-
tic educators think, DR.. Nels A..
Bengtson of the University OF Ne
braska pointed out to the geography
teachers at the meeting of the
American Association for the Ad-
vanceInent of Science today.
Geography is being pushed out of
the school curriculum, chiefly by
general science courses, he stated,
and the idea is widespread that the
students will acquire knowledge of
they world they live in incidentally,
without giving special time TO it.
A test given more than 300 high
school students taking American
history was described by DR.. Bengt-
son. The boys and girls were asked
sixty-f1ve questions, such as Name
the physical barrier that helped
most to make for unity among the
colonies in the war for independ-
ence." The students struggles with
the question yielded 60,580 answers
and only 21,869 answers we're cor
rect.

BACKWARD WRITING OF
NEAR EAST EXPLAINED
Developed From Art, Where Stress
Was on Right Side of Picture.

Was on Right Side Of Picture.
BIZ Science Scrrfce
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Jews.
Arabs and other near eastern peo-
pie write backward" according to
occidental notions, because ancient
Egyptian art conventions demanded
emphasis of the right Sideview of
the person in action. AS picture
making led to picture-writing or
hieroglyphics, and this was sim
plifled into easier systems of writ
ing in Egypt and among the ma
tionS that learned how to write
from the Egyptians, the old art
convention remained as a script
convention.
This theory of the origin of the
riglat-to-left direction of Semitic
writing systems was advanced here
by Prof. N. Reich of DropSie COL
lege, Philadelphia, speaking before
members of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Sci
ence.
Only when the much more recent
Indo-E European alphabetS were in
vented, Professor Reich said, was
this ancient convention abandoned
in favor of the left-to-right ar
rsngement now most widely used.

Vowel Twist May Tell Tale

By Science Service
NEW YORK, Dec. %. - The
swarming thousands of New York's
East Side are not "just Jews" I'd
language students. They are a COM
pick of race branches, reassembled
in this American New Jerusalem,
and each individual betrays in lit
tie turns of his speech, or in pecu-
liar words he uses, the pilgrimage
Of his ancestors. Professor Max A..
Luria of the College of the City Of
New York has made a special study
of the dialects of the Spanish Jews
of this city, and presented sum-
mary of his findings to the Amer
lean Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
When the Spaniards reconquered
their land from the Mohammedans,
they expelled all Jews as well as
MoorS. These banished Jews now
known as the Sephardim, wandered
into many lands in Europe and the
Near East, but never quite lost their
identity, even when in close con-
t ct with their co-religionistS Of
other races.
The Spanish dialects which they
still speak show close relationships
to the Spanish of the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries. Changes il

some of the words a dropped letter.
or a change in pronunciation Of
the final vowel sound, will tell in
what town a mans ancestors lived
