Free BuiIdine L,o,s.

A novel plan to promote building is proposed by the village of Euclid, Ohio. There are hundreds of vacant building lots that have been forfeited to the state through inability of the owners to meet taxes and aSSessnnents.s The improve ments on most of them are worth more than the lots could be sold for. They have sewer, pavement, sidewalks, water and so on, requiring nothing but houses to make them ready for use.
 So the city wants the state, which has many thousand such lots on it's hands, and cannot sell them or get any revenue from them as they are, to give them away on condition that the recipients build and live on them. Then the prop erty would produce revenue again for the city, county and state.
 Such action would be strange modern revival of an almost forgotten institution. The state would be giving away home Steads again, this time to urban settlers. Absurd as the idea may sound at first mention, there seems to be growing sup port for 1t. A bill for this purpose is being introduced in the Ohio legislature. It may be sensible thing for the state to do, and would obviously help the building industry. What it would do to the real estate market is another question.

Philosophy For Americans

Philosophers, too, have started holding conventions. At such highbrow gath ering the other day, a speaker undertook to explain this little-understood class Of citizens. Ut is a curious thing" he said, "that so many people distrust philoso- pherS. Some philosophers, of course, are too apologetic and too far removed from the world of everyday life. They are too technical and their language is too unin- telligible. Philosophy, too, is something personal and private. and, therefore, nara to explain to the public. It aims to give a reasonable account or explanation of the whole of reality. Other branches of learning deal with particular phases and specific aspects of life and the world"
 The sort of person popularly termed "philosopher" is one with a superficial batter about life and experience and human nature what used to be called "moral philosophy" The real philoso- pher has to know life deeply and also has to know what men have taught and thought and done in all ages. He is above the scientist, for science is divided sinto many branches dealing with limited spe- cific fields of knowledge. Philosophy is the science of sciences; it takes all the different natural and human sciences, uses them as raw material and tries to figure out true, workable system of life and thought.
 Philosophizing, therefore, is big job the biggest of all mental jobs Yet it can be done, and the results can be made intelligible enough to Americans with a reasonable amount of intelligence and education. William James did very well at explaining things philosophically. Jonh Dewey has done and still does it quite simply. In Will Durant, who has attained more popularity than either of these others, we have sort of American Plato, who philosophizes with rare grace and charm.
