There have been found substitutes
In the proper sense OF the word--for
q great many things: there has never
vet been found substitute for kHlowl-
edge at first hand.
A monopoly that kills competition
and o competition that thwarts CO.
operation have long since been recog-
nized a. great enemies TO real prog
ress, in government. in business, in
education. And the most important
OF these is education. Anything else
than a well defined but diversified
unity Of education will undermine any
government.
The subjects of education nowadays
are found aligned in two groups, the
sciences and the humanities. The first
In general tends 10 make people work
their hands, the latter tends to mae
them work their heads. But II either
science or the humanities refuse to
take advantage of all It's functional OPP
portunities, down it will go. COMPETE
ton In education has to give way to
cooperation.
Complementary Studies Urged.
Great Britain has been working along
this line and has advanced farther than
we have. A good many years ago the
British Joint conference of the council
for humanistic studies and the board
of scientific societies defined education
"aS the training Of intelligence and
character which BELTS the citizens Of q
free and civilized nation, concerned with
the thoughts and acts Of mankind as
recorded In literature and history, ana
with the laws and processes of nature
a. asceI tained and applied by science"
There stands q f1ne educational creed.
There are critics of the classics who
60 about raving, seeking what Latin
teacher they may devour, and pro-
claiming that Latin and Greek are
dead. The facts are the other way.

of the adult international mind al
coves. The children's International
mind alcoves are collections OF books
which are sent out from the endow-
ment off1ces to libraries in small COM
munities In the United States.
Fairy Tales Omitted.
An interesting fact about the books
in these alcoves is that only books
dealing with the actual life Of children
at the present time are selected. Fairy
stories and historical stories have no
place in the alcoves as the object is to
make vivid the living children OF this
very day, but many attractive books are
to be found outside these groups.
MANY librarians write to me-" Miss
Jones continued, that the shelves in
the alcoves are always empty and that
there are not enough books to supply
the children's demands. The books
are kept circulating to such an extent
that we must have reinforced bindings
to Withstand the hard use.
Some of the parents who are in
tereSted in the adult alcoves take ont
the books to read to their children and
the books also are read In the children's
hour"

Creating an interest among children
in learning about children in other
lands is an important part Of the work
to bring about better international
understanding. according to Miss Amy
Heminway Jones, who has charge OF
the international mind alcoves in $50
Libraries all over the country under the
direction of the Carnegie Foundation
for International Peace.
IF we can instill q feeling Of COM
radeship and love in the children for
their friends in foreign lands we have
laid the best basis of understanding
when these children are grown" Miss
Jones said.

We have been willing, 20 far, to let
men practice individuality In pronunci-
alton. Very soon we are going to put
stop to that. The process Of banning
it is just getting under way So far,
we are tolerant of sectional or individ-
ual pronunciation When former Presi-
dent Coolidge dakcribes his hilly Ver-
mont birthplace u the "mount-ins," we
still think it rather agreeable and
charming. If, however, Mr.. Coolidge
had practiced the same variation In
spelling, If he had spelled it mount
ms" we would have said he was not
1T to be President.
Mr.. Coolidge will turn out to be about
the last President who was permitted
to exercise free-will In pronunciation
We are just beginning to put the ban
on individual differentiation. One
could see the coming tyranny in an cpl
sode Of the 1928 campaign. When Gov
Smith of New York said 'raddio," he
was nearer to correct, nearer to the
derivation of the word, then "raydio "
But the latter had become the standard
pronunciation, and when Gov. Smith
varied from 1t he was jeered at.
Ten years from now sectional, OF
individual, variation Of pronunciation
will be an unforgivable solecism, polit-
ically, socially, educationally. If Car
nounce his first name Quarter" he
will be barred from the Senate. If any
Senator from Missouri, or elsewhere
continues to use an extra "a" that
helped to make william Jennings
Bryan's speeches agreeable, such Sena-
tor will be impeached. Nobody will be
allowed to say I'm a-going'' or II went
a-swimniing."
Standardization Growing.
The unhappy thing, of course, is that
10 years from now nobody will want
! to. Nobody will attempt a pronuncia-
! ton different from the common one
We will ell have become as standard
lied in our pronunciation as we already
are in our spelling-and, for that mat
ter, in our clothes and our manners
crime. All the agreeable individual OF
geographical distinction in pronouncins
will have been ironed out.

or in Des Moines, Iowa, or In Atlanta

Standardization is hard to resist

But how many elderly people are

The Baltimore Sun asked, How will he

fact and spell it Butt.in-sky?" Henry
Watterson Of the Louisville Courier Jour-
nal. wrote It "Rucevelt," adding with q
sly wink, "the FIRST silabel rirning with

At the time Roosevelt sent his order e
the Public Printer, Congress and the
Supreme Court were on vacation. The
court was the first to resume sittings

It was Congress. however, that really

Congress was too anxious to wait fol

Japan to Strengthen
Automotive Systems

Departments Of the japanese govern
ment concerned with transportation
have decided on q new policy to be en-.
forced with the fiscal year beginning
April. 1880. This will be the improve
rnent Of motor highways and the aiding
of the manufacturing and importing Of
automobiles into the empire.
Japan Is covered with a network Of
railways connecting all of the irnpors
tant cities, 1t is pointed out, and the
time has come to start building up
widespread systems Of motor transpor.
tation as popularity used In the United
States.
The ministry Of commerce and indus
try, which is behind the program, ex-
poets to spend some S20000,000 over Q
period Of 10 years in building roads and
awarding subsidies to various industries
connected with automobile production.
The perfectural governments will be
asked to help the government In the
voad-building projects. There is now
one automobile in Japan for every 1925
persons. Automobiles and parts were
imported during 1928 for q total value
Of $4,000, 900, Of which $14,S 900 rep
resents the value Of American products.
Japanese manufacturers do not expect
to be able to turn out passenger auto
mobiles, but viii build trucks and
buses.

Word ''Taffy'' Traced
To Javanese ''Tape''

The American word taffy and the
British word toffee. for candy made Of
molasses, originate from the Javanese
word for rum, tape, or tate, distilled
from molasses. Very often the home
bound cargoes of the old-tine sailing
ships trading in the South Seas were
nnolasses from Java.
The word came to the Philippines
with the Indonesian COLONIES from Asia
that had long inhabited the mountains
of Northern Luzon; these people, how
ever, do not make rum, but ferment
wine from rice and give it the Javanese
name for rum. Some tribes call the
wine tapuy, some tapei, both obvious
variations from the original tape.
Another variation is the name of the
wine from sugar cane juice, hasi. When
the British freebooter, Capt. Arson.
conveyed a prize he had taken. the
silver-laden Spanish galleon Cabadonga,
round Luzon toward Macao, he sent
ashore for water and the islanders gave
his men copious drinks of bashi that
had lightning effect.
Returning to ship, the mems tongues
were thick, and In explaining their con-
dition to Arson they said they had been
enjoying o few cups of bashi; Capt. An
son charted his channel and named ii
Bashi Channel, and the islands, really
the Babuyan group, he called Bashi Is
lands. So goes. round the world of
commerce, bit Of taffy on the tongue.
