Spiking the World Court

While Cuba the stubborn member in question,

issue there certainly is something very Salutary in

is dominated by the powers Too often that criticism
is true

opium control program has been put forward.
SO far as sabotage of the world court is concerned
would it not be less hypocritcal for Americans

No other nation has been so evasive and tricky on
this issue as the United States Succeeding Repuh-
ncan administrations have made strong pledges for
American adherence to the court, of which has
been carried out.
After years of delay and evasion on our part the
court members met more than half way by accept
ing the Root protocol covering the vital points raised
by the senate reservations. Although that protocol
was the state departments baby. it did not have
the courage to admit paternity until after other ma
tons had done SO.
Even then the administration prolonged the delay

IS no possible justification for this delay except the

roses loving cup for Sir Thomas Upton as great
snortsnan The happest part of the proposal is that
anvbodv can get in on it at dollar throw-or a
half dollar, for that matter, suggested by Mayor
walker of New York who will receive the contrl-
buttons.

Nervousness Often Handicaps Worker

I conditions he or she soon becomes
unable to continue. A typist who
has nervous symptoms, working in
a room alone, is rarely disturbed and
gets along satisfactorily.
The same typist who may fear too
much supervision, working in a
large room with many other typists
and a supervisor, develops an acute
mental discomfort, makes numerous
mistakes and as a result of her mis-
takes loses her position.
Laundry workers do not break
down easily, because the response
bility is less. A girl who has ironed
twenty shirts knows they are ironed
and worries little about the effect
of the iron on public life. A typist
who goes home worrying whether
she has sent a letter to Cleveland
when she meant Chicago can lose
an entire nights sleep because of
the fear of the result.
Nervous people on the average
tend to be away from work more
and to be less efficient and to de-
velop occupational disturbances
more than those who are not nerv-
Gus. Some people are unsuited
temperamentally for certain jobs
and it is desirable that they be di-
verified into those which are suitable
for them, if possible.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

When all tissues of the body
function well, the attitude toward
life is one of cheerfulness and con-
tent. With beginning of imperfec-
ton of function of any organ or
tissue or with the incidence of in
lection, the mental attitude toward
life may become exceedingly sour.
Fear is an emotion which destroys
happiness.
In an attempt to define nervous
temperament, Dr. May Smith has
studied it from every possible point
of view, and her results Recently
have been made available in the
British Journal of Medical Psyche
logy. She was concerned particu-
larly with the nervous temperament
as its affects the life of the worker
in industry.
The worker Of nervous tempera-
ment can not work in the midst
of noise and confusion. The nerv-
Gus person tends to be away more
because of sickness than those who
are less nervous. Nervous people
do not inevitably break down, so
that there is a distinction between
nervous symptoms and nervous dis
ability.
A nervous person working under
some conditions may go on for
many years, whereas under different

Snobs or Dubs?

In this season of the opening of schools more than
usual interest exists the perennial question OF the
relative superiority of private and public schools The
more important arguments for each are we'll expressed
in the debate conducted in the New York World by
District Superintendent William c. Grady of the New
York schools and Harry L. Messner principal Of the
Friends seminary. Do the private schools produce
snobs and the public schools dubs? This seems 10 be
the crux of the problem
Principal Messner presents completely the argu-
ment for private schools They provide quiet and
repose and train one in pose and serenity They
make possible small groups for intimate instruction,
thus promoting personal contacts and spontaneous
expression
plastic curriculum and flexible requirements are
possible in private school they not in public
institution Pupil interest rather than administrative
machinery comes first in the private school, Private
schools can get better teachers on the whole than
the public schools. They take better advantage
Of experimental methods.
They are free from the domination Of the mass
mind and parental censorship. Tests show that the
intellectual achievements of private school stuoents
slrpass those of public school graduates.
The private school authorities charge, moreovec,
that the public schools crystalline the curriculum,
standardize instruction and discipline, and aim at
the mythical average child while missing the needs
of the real superior and inferior children
Superintendent Grady comes back with the logical
defense of the public schools. The best pedagogy
and educational psychology at the disposal OF the
public schools 1t now is possible to classify and
differentiate pupils in the public schools according
to the best intelligence tests Behavior clinics are
being established for problem children.
The public school pupil is not taught snobbery
through exclusive association with restricted groups OF
socially superior children He meets society IN cross
section as he must in later life The public schools
are the only machinery for handling the mass OF our
children and they offer the best training in democratic
ways and associations.
Mr. Grady makes the conventional charge that
nrvste schools tend to generate snobs and that at
best thew only can do wonders with few exception
alIv gifted children They coddle and overprotect
their pupils They only increase the difficulty which
all must meet later in getting adjusted to the ooga-
tons of everyday life.
There is little doubt that the best private SchoolS
can do far more for the very gifted child than the
nublic schools There is no doubt that the private
schools provide better training in superficial culture
and social etiquet than the public schools
e At the same time it is obvious that the great
ma ioritv of our children always must go to puohc
schools A debate like the above is in practice
academic. The real issue in American education Is
the Improvement of our public schools

An ENCOURAGING Note

The September bulletin of the National AsSocia'
ton of Credit Men finds that the business outlook,
not exactly roseae is at least brighter than some OF
us have been led to suppose.
IF business had glass chin it would have been
down and out before this" remarks the bulletin Our
morale is not weakened On the contrary it has been
strengthened by sober thinking looking facts in the
face putting our house in order eliminating wastefu
expenditures and planning carefully for the future
For some months we have been under discipline. Be-
fore long we should begin to benefit by it,"
Just to prove that this is not an empty optimism
the bulletin points out that collections for August
in the belt hit by the drought-are better
than they were for the month preceding,
This improvement, rightly enough, it calls "decid-
edy encouraging" Evidently the turn in the road is
not great way off.

MITIGATION OF ITALY
September 20

0N Sept. 20, 1870, the unihca-
~ ton of Italy was effected when
the forces Of the king entered and
captured Rome, last of papal terri
tories.
That territory has been protected
by France. Napoleon III, from mo-
tiyes of policy, refused to allow the
Italians to annex the papal states
which they wanted in order to es-
tablish their government in the
Eternal City.
A group Of Italian patriots under
Garibaldi made a bid to capture the
sought-after territory, but were de-
feated by the French at Montana.
This event destroyed the good feel
ing which had prevailed between
France ana Italy since 1850.
AT last, in 1870, due to the out
break of the Franco-Prussian war,
Napoleon was forced to withdraw
his forces, a move of which the
Italians soon were to take advan-
tage.
The king of Italy at this juno
ture tried to induce the pope to alb
dicate his role of the papal ftates
and take a dignifed and indepen-
dent position in the Italian gov
eminent.
This he refused to do. Although
he tented a resistance, the royal
troops entered Rome and soon
hoisted the tricolor on the palace
of the capitol.
1t was not until June 2, 1871,
However. that the king made his
triunphal entry into the capital of
Italy.

MR. COOLIDGE should consult a nerve special

This counsel is about as timely if Mr.. Coolidge

Politics used to be hot tamale, but now IL Is
cold potato.
If Mr. Coolidge thinks this is hectic political
hour we wonder how he would have survived back in
the days when candidate had to have intestinal
fortitude instead of string OF predgested pattudes
In that heated period every county seat had two
partisan papers that operated their machine guns
day and night and every candidate was scaped every
day
In those days an editor spent time oiling
his six-shooter than he did polishing his rhetoric.
that time candidates walked out upon the

constantly, the abuse reaching its crest in McKin-

Ruth Gets His Due

DELATEDLY, but still in time,
~ comes official recognition for
George Herman Ruth. 1 am aware
the Babe has not ever been quite a
mute and inglorious Milton. The
fans have acclaimed him, and the
business Office of the New York
American League baseball club has
not been entirely unaware of his
existence and his deeds.
But the intellectuals have sighted
him. To me it always has been a
matter of indignation that Babe
Ruth is not included in who's Who
in America"
Of late I have not searched for
his name. Possibly the error has
been rectified. Or perhaps it should
not be scored as an error. Maybe
the Babe was too hot to handle"
When last I delved into the roster
OF famous Americans the nearest
name and biography I could find
was that of:-"Roth, Filbert, for

PROGRESS by Toll

GONE of the sacrifice has been
~ necessary, but more of it has
not.
Much as human progress may owe
to physical courage, it owes more
to higher kind.
Men who have proved their
capacity to stay with a dull, mono
tonous, and often disappointing task
for fifty years are not without
stamina.
BY and large, such men have con-
tributed more to human intelligence
than those who have thrown away
their lives in a blind rush against
spearheads or barbed-wire entangle-
ments.
BY and large, what we have and
what we are is due to the slow.
dreary grind of those who have had
the grit to overcome the limitations
of ignorance by patient toll
We can call them geniuses, chiefly
because it sounds thrilling and spec
tacular, but as general PROPOSE
ton, their success was not the re-
suit of happy accident, or daredevil
impulse, but of hard work.
1t is a popular notion that the
really great men and women Of
this world died young and violently,
but that is because We persist in
associating greatness with war.
AS a matter of fact, most of the
men and women who have wrought
real changes in human existence
have lived long and died naturally.

ErtenSiUe Research Is De-
signed to Make AirplaneS
Safer, More Comfortable,
and More Reliable.

A BLIND" landing system
"A whereby airplane pilots car
find their way to the ground at ar
airport through radio signals alone
is one Of the projects being studied
by the aeronautic development serv-
ice of the United States department
Of commerce.
This unit of the department is
carrying on an extensive research
program to make airplanes safer
more comfortable, more economical
and more reliable.
Systems for blind landings, in
general. include three elements, OF
their equivalent, to indicate to the
pilot the position of the aircraft in
three dimensions at it approaches
and reaches the instant Of landing, y
says Harry H. Blee, director Of the
service.
Three radio beams are used in
the system being developed by the
service.
In the present experiments" Blee
says, lateral position, that is, the
landing field runway direction, is
given by small directive beam OF
the same type as the beacon used
for guidance along the airTay, but
lower in power.
Longitudinal position, that is, ap-
proach, is given by marker beams.
Height is given by an inclined high
frequency radio beam.
This beam is directed on small
angle above the horizon and is used
in such a way as to provide a con-
venient gliding path for the land
ing airplane"

Airport Studies

TINE airport work of the aeronau-
a tics development service can
be classified under three head
ings, Blee says. They are:
First: Direction and coordination
Of the work Of the department re-
lated to assisting in the selection of
airport sites and fostering the de-
velopment Of airpOrts.
Second: PRONUNCIATION of air
port rating regulations and the rat
ing of airports.
Third: Planning and prepara-
ton of airport publications.
1.-THE activity embraces confer
ences with municipalities and civic
organization desiring assistance in
the selection of airport sites and
requesting information regarding
the requirements for the develop
ment Of suitable airports," he says.
"A small group of airport special
lists are available for this work.
These men are sent throughout the
United States on carefully planned
itineraries the usual procedure
calling for the inspection of num-
Der of sites, perhaps talk before a
civic organization, and conference
or a series of conferences with
officials interested in development
Of the airports and desiring infor-
nation regarding the requirements
Of the airport rating regulations of
the department of commerce.
These specialists urge the impor-
lance of having experienced
engineers make comprehensive
studies and prepare plans for COM
plete airport development, so every
dollar invested in the project may
be expended to the best possible adj
vantage"
