THE WALLS OF JERICHO
New York Times)

After the walls of Jericho had
been razed, as the Book of Joshua
records the event, it is stated that
Joshua laid a curse on any man
that "riseth up and buildeth this city
of Jericho" with the loss of his
first born shall he lay the foundation
thereof and with the loss of his
Youngest son shall he set up the
gate of it." Yet again and again the
walls have risen. In the days OF
Ahab, Hiel, the Bethelite rebuilt
them and suffered in consequence. 1t
was from these walls that the sons
of the prophets went out in search
of Elijah, who had disappeared as IN
chariot of fire. Here Herold the
Great. who rebuilt number of cit
les and temples in Palestine himself,
died, where ruins bright with the
red so dear to Roman eyes" remem-
ber his fate. At it's gate blind Bartl-
maeus sat begging, and here Zac-
cheus, the chief publican of Jericho'
who had climbed a sycamore tree
"his Master for to see," entertained
Him in his own house. And here the
Good Samaritan set for all time an
example of mercy to strangers IN
need.
The unearthing of the foundation
stones of the oldest walls brings the
long past nearer our doors, as does
the report which comes on the same
day concerning the antediluvian life
in Ur of the Chaldees. The Chicago
Superintendent of Schools has been
saying to his brother superinten-
dents and the teachers in Atlantic
City, in their philosophy of educa-
ton, "be your age"-a slang eX-
preston" in which he urged con-
centrating attention on the age in
which we live instead of following
"slavishly the prescription of the
dead hand of antiquity" But antlq-
uity's hand is a living hand and
writes its warnings upon the walls
of ruined cities. Many a city crouch
es in times corner unrenowned be-
cause, though famed for a day fol
it's commerce (as Jericho, the pan
try" of Palestine, was), it was
found wanting in its permanent con-
tribution to mans well-being.
The archaelogist's finds are news
and have a rightful place along with
yesterdays events. For us living al
prime" all ages should be our age
even the Icons of mans ordeal IN
which remembered personalities
separately endured" The walls OF
Jericho rise again with their coun-
sci to the cities of today.
Milford chronicle., 1930-08-15
CARTOON LANGUAGE

What may be considered a really
remarkable discovery was made by a
research worker of the Teachers Col
lege of Columbia University. A test
applied to 5000 high school and
grammar students revealed that
practically none of them could un-
derstand an average cartoon, such
as are encountered in every newspa-
per, and by clusters in magazines
Putting the label on each character
did not seem to clear things for the
youthful minds. For example, one
picture showed a man standing on
an elevation marked Masculine Su-
perior Plane" registering uneasiness
at a rising feminine head labeled
Suffrage" Hundreds of the chill
dren interpreted this picture to mean
that "the woman is going to make
the nina suffer-" They cannot grasp
distractions, said the investigator
And he adde dthat, in his belief, the
average readers grasp of abstract
ideas is no better than high school
seniors.
Maybe we have an answer at last
as to why a lot of politicians nave
not committed mayhem over some
of the cartoons leveled at them. They
probably thought they were compll-
mented.-The Pathfinder.
