Knowing Nothing.

There is an Eastern fable which tells
that a great Sultan once demanded of
his counselors: What is the sum of all
wisdom?" and they, unable to agree upon
an answer, consulted child, who solved
the problem by saying, "I do not know"
Frank admission of ignorance. it seems,
is the distinguishing characteristic of in
dividualS who have attained spiritual
maturity. Socrates, for example, told his
fellow Athenians: "He is wisest among
you, o citizens, who, like myself, has
come to know that he is in truth worth
nothing as regards wisdom" The only
difference between a wise man and a
fool, the philosopher believed, is that
the former at least knows that he knows
nothing.
And his conviction has been echoed
down the ages. Xenophanes is recorded
to have declared: mo man knows dis
tinctly anything, and no man ever will"
and Democritus is represented to have
taught: "We know nothing really, for
truth lies deep down" In the judgment
of Publius Syrus the doctrine had hope
ful aspect when it was phrased as: He
bids fair to grow wise who has discovered
that he is not So"
Shakespeare In turn considered the
difaculty and decided: "The fool doth

done before the existence of animal

vertebrateS must be studied and elm
mated. one by one. There are certain
facts which argue for the identity of
the viruSeS of the urban and jungle
yellow fever. and it may be that the
difference between the two diseases lies
more in the mode of transmission than
in the manner in which the virus is kept
alive
Some means must be devised whereby
rural populations and persons who go
into the jungle can be protected against
the type of yellow fever to which they
are exposed Not much. however, can
be done for the prevention of jungle
yellow fever until a great deal more is
known concerning the distribution of
the disease and the factors involved in
its distribution. Preliminary basic
studies are now in progress"
r
Possibility that mosquitoes-or some
similar kind of inSect-are responsible
for the sporadic outbursts of encephalitis
in the United States is advanced through
experiments just described by the Rookie
feller Foundation.
The theory has been held for some
time. due to the fact that there is a
decided seasonal incidence of these out
breaks during August and September
Mosquitoes were allowed to feed on mice
which had been innoculated with the
virus of the type of encephalitis which
attacked st. Louis two years ago. 1t was
found that the insects not only took up
the virus, but retained it to the end of
their lives. 1t remained at its original
level, and, presumably, at its original
potency.
The situation is complicated, however,
by the fact that the viruS-c containing
mosquitoes did not infect monkeys nor
mice by biting.
~ X
Still another accomplishment cited
during the year was the determination
of the size of the virus organism re-
sponsible for infantile paralysis. It's
diameter was estimated as between IL
and II millimicronS, micron being a
millionth of a millimeter.
The Rockefeller experimenterS also
found a type of spontaneous poliomy-
elitis, very similar in its effects to the
human infantile paralysis, among lab
oratory mice. The virus of this disease.
however, did not affect monkeys, and
presumably would not affect human
beings.
This led to the prospect that it might
form the basis of immuniZation against
the human disease, but up to date no
evidence has been obtained to support
this hope.

No Text Book Communism.

The Board of Education's special Com
mittee on Text Books relating to the
subject of history having unanimously
reported that none of the books in use
in .sthe public schools is subject to the
criticism that communism is advocated
or presented in favorable light for the
instruction of students, it may be expect
ed that the board itself will decide to
make no changes in the list of approved
works. This. however, does not assure
cessation of the controversy on this sub
ject so long as the law enacted in the
form of rider on an appropriation bill
remains unchanged. 1t now prohibits
the teaching or advocating of commun-
ism. The corporation counsel has in
terpreted this law as differentiating be-
tween teaching in the sense of state
ment and advocating in the sense Of
proselyting, which means that it is per-
missible to present the subject as his
torical fact without Endorsement of the
principle or practice of government in
lines of MARKHAM philosophy. The con-
troller general has required teachers
in the public schools to make affi-
davit to the effect that they are not
violating this law as condition to re-
ceiving salary. Thus the case stands at
present.
1t is contended by some that the rider
in the current District appropriation law
is permanent legislation, and that it will
stand until repealed specifically. Others
hold that it is applicable only to the
present fiscal year. In any event the
matter is certain to be discussed at the
coming session of Congress. From that
discussion should come at least clearer
definition of the word teaching" so that
the curriculum of the public schools can
be established upon a more certain foun-
dation than an administrative interpre-
tation.
There is no desire and no warrant
for any teaching which directly or in
ferentially tends to subvert the estab-
lished principles of American Govern
ment. There should be no desire and
certainly no effort to prevent the presen-
tation of the facts of history to instruct
pupils in the course of events in the world
as respects experimental undertakings in
government, however they may differ
from the American system of democracy.
Refusal or failure to acquaint students
with conditions in other lands is worse
than ineffective, for it leads to a defeat
of the very purpose of the prohibition
against advocacy, which is the essence
OF the present statutory ban. For the
proponents of communism are thereby
given an avenue of approach to students
by Surreptitious means to corrupt the
judgment of the young people through
their own partisanship without the cor
rection of sound teaching in sound
principles.

FactiOnaI Logic.

Doubtless it is natural for political
leaders to claim all the virtues for them
selves and for their loyal friends. That
1t would seem, is human. But when
Postmaster General Farley in his capacity
of chairman of the Democratic National
Committee speaks of former President
Hoover as having been responsible for
the depression certain violation of his
torical fact is involved. No individual,
not even Mr. Roosevelt, could have pre-
vented the slump in 1929. And whatever
mistakes were made between that date
and 1888 were errors for which the Dem
ocratic majority in Congress, Stubbornly
refusing to cooperate with Republican
Chief Executive, also was to blame.
Moreover, it is useless for Mr.. Farley
to argue that the rapid decline which
began with Mfr. Rooseveltis election and
eliminated at his Inauguration was of
Mr.. Hoovers making. The record for
Evening star., 1935-12-19

that period shows that business was dis
turbed at the prospect of the change in
administration, and the fear was justified
by statements made by Mr.. Roosevelt in
his inaugural address which at that mo-
ment no longer were of any political
utility except in their negative aspect as
factors to arouse opposition and to con-
firm apprehension.
But Mr.. Farleys factional logic signi-
f1es far more thar partisanship. The
causes of economic dislocation, it is eV!-
dent, are not clearly understood by any
man who thinks of them as being exclu-
sively political in character. To illustrate
the point the case of the copper industry
may be cited. 1t was the development of
mines in Africa and in South America
rather than any wilful sin on the part
of either Republicans or Democrats that
rendered the operation of mines in Ari-
zona Improbable. Hence, in the ensuing
tariff effort both parties co-operated.
The principle, for once, was more impor-
tant than any group interest.
And something along that line is what
the country wants. 1t is exceedingly
unlikely that next years campaign will
result in complete victory for either Dem
ocrats or Republicans, but the President
chosen will need the help of the defeated
opposition almost as much as he will that
of his victorious allies. Theoretically, he
will be the leader of the whole people,
and it will be part of his obligation to
deserve their confidence. Mr.. Farley in
his anxiety to re-elect his chief should
not forget that elemental truth.
