Meaning of "Layman"

The first part of the word "layman"
Is derived from the Greek ''laikos, +"
meaning "of or from the people," and
"layman" is most generally applied to
the people in general who are not
members of the clergy; in other words,
to members of the laity. Thus in va
rious churches we have lay deacons,
lay preachers, lay elders, lay readers.
ETC., persons who perform such church
duties and continue with their outside
occupations. In religious orders lay
brothers and lay sisters are occupied
chiefly with domestic or manual work.
Apart from church usage, the term
"layman" is applied to outsiders or
non-experts in relation to some pro-
fessiOn, art or branch of knowledge,
especially with reference to law or.
medicine.

Pine Tree Is Chased as
Favorite of the Forests

There is something knightly about
pine tree. 1t raises itself on sturdy
trunk into the atmosphere, great arms
sweeping the air, and shoulders its
istalwart bulk against the elements. It
can be among the most quiet of trees,
producing an utter forest stiffness, a
breathless hush, or, when reused,
among the most tempetuous. It 10
communal tree, observes a writer in
the Rural New-Yorker, pitched In en-
campments, marching In mighty armies,
but is also to be seen riding along some
barren wind-whipped hillside or lonely
lake shore. 1t Is somber, dignified,
with protective strength about It.
1t is one Of those trees that have
personality, not graceful like the
white birch, nor domestic like the
maple, but a thing of the wild, little
aloof, serene, fearless, with a certain
majesty, but the majesty of a strong
man Of the people rather than of court
ly places.
That the pine is a favorite among
trees is small cause for wonderment.
1t can be gentle, as a true knight
should be, murmuring low words Of con-
ISOLATION and comfort, 1t has about 1t
something OF gloomy romance and mys-
terry, the spirit of moat and castle, In
battle Its war song rises high on the
blast and Its great body, assembling all
it's forces struggles nightly with the
enemy, the grim conflict showing wild
against the storm clouds of the cky.

Young Teachers Found
TO Lead in Efficiency

Bloomington, lnd.-The young in
structOr. fresh and vigorous in his pur-
suits, holds an advantage over the
more experienced professors in institu-
tons of higher learning. according to
Dean Fernandus Payne, Of the Univer-
sity of Indiana.
The opinion is contained in a new
book, "An Open Letter to College Teach
ers,' which Dean Payne co-authored
with Evelyn Spieth wilkinson, of City
college, New York.
He cites, experiments to show that
any differences 10 efficiency between
the young and old Instructor are In
favor of the former.
In one critical analysis, the instruc-
tors scored 54.74; assistant professors,
54.26; associate professors, 54.l5, aud
professors, 50.13.
The same study also compared
teachers who had taught from one
to II years with those who had taught
more than IL years. The efficiency
score for the first group was 55.68.
and for the second 1882.
From whatever angle the approach
was made, the difference in favor of
the young instructor persisted" said
Dean Payne. ''As you would expect,
there was a wide range of variation in
each group. The poorest and also the
best teachers among those studied
were young instructors with two years
experience"

WEST PLANS CHEAP
INNS FOR TOURISTS
Chain Would Link Up With
Those Now in East.

San Francisco, Calif.-A campaign
Tor simple, inexpensive inns, where
young people can stop while travelling
in the west, has been launched by
Miss Josephine d. Ranrall, director
of the San Francisco recreation de-
partment.
The chain of inns in the west would
link up with those already in exist
ence in the east where 35 have been
constructed since the idea was brought
from Europe.
The youth hotels, Miss Randall ex-
plains, already have been established
IN Is different European countries.
There it is possible for young people
to travel widely by bicycle, foot and
canoe for six weeks at a total cost
OF $40. These inns had their inception
in Germany, but have now spread to
nearly all European countries.
The idea was introduced into the
United States by Monroe and Isabel
Smith and has proved success in the
east. Miss Randall hopes to complete
the system throughout the western
states.
The general plan will always be the
same-separate dormitories for boys
and girls, with community kitchens
and recreation halls.
The hostels provide beds, mattresses
blankets and cooking utensils. The
charge is rs cents for a nights lodg
ing, with cents to 10 cents added
occasionally for fuel.
Miss Randall hopes as the first step
In her program to have the national
park commission construct "loop' of
such hostels over a suitable area that
will enable young travellers to make
the entire tour by foot in Is days.
With this as a demonstration, she
expects to be able to link up not only
complete western but national sys-
tenn of such inns.

Coconut Tree of Ceylon
Mainstay of the Natives

In Ceylon, we claim that the coconuc
tree is the most useful tree in the
world, states correspondent in Pear
sons Weekly. The coconut palm has
been established in the island for hun
dreds of years. Each palm yields from
40 to 100 nuts year for 20 or so years.
Copra comes from the dried kernel, and
is exported in large quantities for the
manufacture of margarine and soap,
ETC., and desiccated coconut coconut
oil, and coir-fiber, made from the husks
of the nuts, are also exported.
But to the Ceylon villager, his coco

Even In the Stone age, some 1000
years ago, Britons suffered from rheu-
matism. This was shown by the skele-
ton Of Stone age man dug up at
Notgrove long barrow, in the Cotswold
hills, in the west Of England. This
Stone age veteran showed extensive
signs OF Osteoarthritis, Indicating that
when alive he was crippled with rheu-
matism. Experts take this as a sign
that the climate Of these isles was
chillsome in winter.

 The closing ceremony was attend ed by President Adolf Hitler.
 The United States took the top spots in track. swimming and eight cared rowing.
 The atmosphere of the closing of the great games was darkened by the AAU suspension of Jesse Ow- ems for not going to Sweden on a transforming trip Larry Snyder, Owens coach, charged the AAU is shipping Olympic athletes around, prompted by greed in drive for money.
 Down with Owens, the AAU says, because he refuses to swell their coffers,' said Snyder. There is no need for this suspension, except to save the face of the AAU but instead it's face will have to be en- tirely rebuilt
 Snyder further said that it is a cinch Owens will never run for the AAU again. There is some monkey business somewhere"
