LET'S NOT ALL GO CRAZY

Unless something happens pretty
soon to put mankind back on the
road to sanity and morality, former
President Herbert Hoover told a
Canadian audience, the world faces
an early smashup.
To see just how right Mr.. Hoover
was and is, one has but to look
around at what's going on in the
world. He himself enumerated some
Of the evidences Of the intolerant
ldeologies which "have joined the
four horsemen....to hold the world
taut with fear"
In Germany, he pointed out, 1.-The
most hideous exhibition of perse-
cution since the Middle Ages is now
in full swing. In Russia, political
opponents by the thousands are be-
ing executed, while in her efforts TO
force state ndustrialization, mil.
lions of her own people were left to
die of starvation despite the fact
that she had the gold with which to
buy them food. IA military au-
tocracy in control of Japan is max
ing war of aggression upon China
as horrible as that of Genghis
Khan" while "a bitter class war in
Spain ruthlessly executes civilians
en- both Sides
Here are but few samples of
the terror and intolerance now
sweeping the earth. Nevertheless,
the former President added hope
fully, prhaps the world may have
gained something from it, after all,
namely, a desire to keep out of
war. The old war fever, he said,
mo longer sweeps the common peo-
ple."
And there, again, we believe he
spoke the truth. France, just now,
is case in point. Not so long ago
it was the fashion to speak of the
French as warlike and aggressive.
That, Of course, was not quite true,
even then, but today they are par
ticularly attached to peace So much
SO, in fact, that when Premier Dali
adler recently returned from Mum
ich he was given herO's welcome
by the masses. And so was Brit
aims Prime Minister Chamberlain,
now on visit to Paris.
That is to say they were welcom-
ed by almost everybody except the
French Communists and fellow trav-
elers of the extreme left. These
take their cue from Moscow, and
Moscow does not want peace-at
least not between Germany, Italy
and Japan, on the one side, and
Britain, France and America on the
other. War between these six
major powers would clear the field
for Communism. 1t probably would
destroy the three Dictatorship
which, of course, Moscow wishes
above all else-but in the process
the capitalistic, bourgeois democra.
cies, as she would call us, would be
likely to collapse as we'll.
Whereupon the earth would drop
like ripe fruit into the waiting lap
Of Communism, and without Russia
having had to strike q single open
blow.
Many excellent people in this
country are being misled into lend
Ing their support to groups whose
real purposes are not always what
they seem, and not always what
their liberal and democratic sound
ing names imply. Some OF these
groupe tend to lead US into entan-
clements abroad, hence In the d.

the democracies out Of war. Let US

WHAT MAKES A STABILIZED
CHRISTIAN FAMILY?

Religious leaders who have made
a study of this question have agreed
that well-united family possesses
the following characteristics: CD
The subordination of it's members
to common objective, economic,
educational, civil, religious, or for a
family status. CD The conscious
cooperation Of it's members to real
ize this objective. CD A recipro-
city of personal service, by which
each is dependent upon all, in an in
Independence of activities of an in
innate and mutual character. ca
A coordination of personal roles in
terms of mutual obligations and
privileges, giving each status de-
ftning both duties and personal sat-
isfaction of wishes. (5) Participa-
tion of the family in communal
world by which it secures a status
CT prestige in reference to other
families. And CO. a consensus of
emotional attitudes in which each
member harmoniously relates his
life to that Of every other member
and to the group. These attitudes
are affection, sympathy, and re-
spect for each, and loyalty, pride
and responsibility toward all.

SINGING THE LESSONS

Some of us can remember when,
if we did not do it ourselves, our
older brothers and sisters came
home from school singing MAINE,
Maine, Augusta, on the Kennebec
River" and SO on through the
states and all their capitals and to
Lisbon The theory evidently was
that by adding rhyme and melody
Of sort to their geography lessons,
they'd get those lesson better
There also was a long recital to
the fact that Gin 1892 Columbus
sailed the ocean blue" and so on
down to "in 1868 Abe Lincoln set
the Negroes free" all this used as
an aid to remembering dates. The
multiplication tables did not lend
themselves, at least above the "12
times 10 is 120," to much meter.
But these tables were learned and
recited by rote and memory and it is
hardly to be supposed that the stu
dents of the tables gathered much
of the real meaning. One remem-
bers, too, the old rhyme which his
parents learned about zone, two,
buckle my shoe, three, four, latch
the door," though the extremely
syncopated music, heard about this
ditty, which, as we remember, clos
ed with the badly mated lines of
thirteen, fourteen, maids are court
ing"
DR.. r. l.. Morton of Ohio Univer-
sity told the National Council of
Mathematics that "clogging little
Johnnys brain with multiplication
tables is waste Of time" and with
sing-song repetition. He cOntended
that it is not worth while to study
mathematics unless one understands
what he is studying. We fear that
too often when a child learns that
12x12 is IA, he hasn't any real
conception of what it is all about.
DR.. Morton would have children
study such practical things as COM
putation Of the gas bill and how to
figure out three pounds of meat at
39 cents pound.
There is wisdom in bringing arith-
metical problems to bear on home
subjects, the farmer boy, for in
stance, learning through practical
experience how to figure out what a
steer will bring at the prevailing
market price, the grocer's son find
ing out how to add up the bill, and
the girls learning how many yards
of goods their garments need, and
how much they'll cost at SO much a
yard.-O. S. Journal.
We do not agree with DR.. Morton,
that it is waste Of time clogging lit
tie Johnny's brain with the null
tiplicatiOn tables. We believe that
II is better to "Clog his Brain" with
multiplication tables, than with some
of the things Of the present time.
We have reason to believe that the
average Little Johnnies" of some
years ago who learned the multiple
cation tables, developed into better
mathematicians, and could figure up
bill Of goods, ETC.. quicker, and
more accurately than the average
boys OF the present AGED.
