choose what is cheap, glittering
and shoddy.
A continuance of unscientific
modes of education, crudely
adapted to false conceptions Of
the meaning of democracy, lead
inevitably to disaster. Our
young men and women, substi-
tuting "aimleSs. reverie for con.
Secutive thinking" choosing
campus courses" in place Of in
tellectual discipline, are being
rapidly reduced to a dead level
of incapacity. -
THE times, the complexities Of
Il government, the; problems
of democracy, the problems of
industry and the riddles Of sci
ence demand leaders, thinkers,
philosophers. Present systems
Of education are not supplying
them. They are clearly not de.
signed to furnish them.
Science must be invoked if
education is to meet the obli-
cations and demands of the
coming age. We must have
scientific instruction IN fields
other than science-in human
relations, in politics, in, govern.
ment, in industry, in finance.
AS Millikan we'll says: I'VE
need science in education, and
much more of it than we now
have, not primarily to train
technicianS for the Industries
which demand them, though
that maybe important, but
much more to give everybody
little glimpse of the scientific
mode Of approach to life'S prob.
lems."
Education must offer us a
new, working, struggling, evolv-
ing science for the twentieth
century; the science Of human
engineering.

MRS. FRANCES PERKINS,
VA New York State Industrial
Commissioner, does not believe
in part time mothers She
thinks it's perfectly outrageous
for mothers to seek jobs when
they might be sitting happily
at home raising three or four
children, or even eight or ten.
The trouble with American
life today" says Mrs. Perkins,
"is that we are practically all
keeping up with the Joneses.'
It is almost impossible for the
head of the house to earn suf-
ficient income to maintain the
high standards of American
living. To meet this condition,
the mothers go to work
I can't imagine a better life
than that Of the mother of a
large family. I do not see why
the young women do not settle
down to the serious business of
having eight or ten children,
and making a good job of it
and having a lot of fun at it.
DAY nursery school, all-day
sessions in school and summer
schools in my opinion are con-
tributory factors that have done
much to destroy the home life
in America. Summer camps
are almost an evil, in my opin-
ion. The idea was capitalized
so money could be made on par
ents who desire comfort when
their children want to romp
about the home"
Thus. Mrs. Perkins-and I
haven't a doubt that countless
complacent citizens, sitting in
comfortable homes, will applaud
her loudly. But Nora Sullivan

won't applaud her. They'll

teNEARRY for convenience
AVA not for love!" urges an
anonymous writer in q current
magazine. Ssh.
Another THWAcK for poor
old Love! ..
What does she MEAN. "con-
Venience?"
About the most inconvenient
thing that you can have around
the house is a husband or wife
whom you do not love. Just
something always in your way
like a grand piano, that you
don't know how to play.
"I'm through with love-" says
the author-and that explains
everything! People who are
through with the morning paper
always say There's nothing in
It," But that doesn't stop you
from wanting to see for your
self.
Her arguments are all true:
but her premise is false. She
simply does not know what
love IS. ...
Like you and you, and prob
ably YOU, she has gotten LOVE
confused with everything that
1t isn't. With spring dalliance,
with infatuation, with romance,
with sex-attraction, and with
wild, erotic emotionalism. With
sickly sentiment, selfish vanity,
unreasonable jealousy, and the
desire for possession and doni-
nation.
1t is positively astonishing,
how few people. in this en-
lightened age, know what love
is. But, you don't have to
take my word for it. If you
want to find out what love
is, go out and buy a dictionary.

THE Twentieth century bids
fair to be remembered for
- the beginning of a new
scientific approach to the edu-
cation of the human species.
This new development will
arise as reaction from stand
ardization of human material.
Leading publicists and educa-
tors G. today are now in open
revolt against the policy of
making our education institu-

out human products according
to a given pattern and pre-
Scribed design.

of 500, 900 to Albert B. Fall, former
secretary of the interior. opened be-
fore a jury today with Owen J. Rob-
erts. special prosecutor. ridiculing
contentious by the defense that the
money was a loan from one cid friend
to another.
Doheny is charged with giving the
money to Fall to influence the then
secretary of the interior to award a
lease to the Elk Hills naval oil re-
serve to Doheny,s company. Fall was
convicted last October on a charge
of accepting a bride. despite the oil
mans testimony in his defense.
Roberts outlined the governments
case to the jury by telling the nine
men and three women that the prose-
cution hoped to show that Fall and
Doheny had conspired to get the re-
serve award to the Pan : American
Petroleum and Transport Co.
Roberts went into the oft told his
