Professor Discusses
American Intelligence

Americans are individually intel
ligent but collectively dumb, Prof
Harry A. Overstreet, head of the
department of philosophy of the Col
lege of the City of New York. assert
ed last night at the Social Hygiene
Society's annual dinner at the Y. w
G. A.
The great problem of America and
the world today, according to the
speaker, is to determine how in
dividual intelligence may be ex-
panded into social intelligence. AS
a partial solution, he recommended
studies in propaganda analysis and
cooperative techniques.
The society elected the following
to its board of directors: Reelection

men who are successful In business
and who are the leading men in
your community, whose opinions are
looked up to and whose Judgment is
respected, you will be astonished to
ind out how many of them got their
education in the School of Hard
Knocks instead of a high-priced
university.
The fact that your boy friend Is
willing to take correction makes me
rate him highly. Anybody who can
do that will learn. And especially
is it a hopeful sign when a man is
willing to learn from his wife who
has had better advantages than he
has had. I know a man who is
polished in his manners, we'll In
formed, fine speaker who uses
excellent English, who had to 20 to
work when he was a mere child and
who had virtually no advantages OF
education. But he married a school
teacher and he was big enough to
let her help him. She corrected his
grammar and his pronunciation
and taught him the proper phrases
with which to express himself. She
read to him at night when he was
too tired to read himself. She con.
densed the news of world happen
ings and they spent their evenings
in studying them together. She
polished up his manners and fitted
him for the big career that he has
had.
So there is hope for any man who
will take criticism and who is will
ing to learn from those who can
teach him. Most men are too vain,
too anxious to be thought the head
of the house not to resent their
wives telling them of their mistakes.
But don't marry your young man If
you are going to look down on him
and be ashamed of him. That is
fatal to any marriage.

Spanish refugees now in France.

avenue NV. Tomorrow, he is to
attend a luncheon given by the
Central Spanish Committee and
will be guest at a reception at the
National Press Club at 8:15 pm.
During an interview here yester-
day, Mr. Del Vayo declared that the
United States would find itself
faced with a serious problem be-
fore long because of Fascist propa-
ganda which will be disseminated
in Latin America through the
Franco government in Spain.
Totalitarian ideas could not be
spread effectively in Latin America
by German and Italians, he said,
but can be disseminated through
Frances agents.
Charging that the democracies
did not appreciate the Importance
OF Spain as thoroughly as did the
relationships. the exiled politician
warned nov you will see more
Nazi and Fascist propaganda in
Latin America. They will try to
get hold of Latin American coun-
tries through the Snanjsh inf1,1ence
on the basis of both business and
political influence against the in
terests of the United States"
He denied that the failure of the
Loyalist government in Spain was
due to Communist influence and
denied any political engagement
with Moscow. Mr.. Del Vayo, de-
scribing himself as a Socialist, said
that he appointed some Communists
to key posts because they were
able men.

Dorothy Dix Says
Don't Marry Man If You Are
Going to Be Ashamed of Him

Dear Miss Dix: 1 have been going
with young man for about four
years. We are very much in love
and planning to marry some time
IN the near future, but I am high
school graduate and he is not. He
is neither coarse nor crude. He
knows exactly how to dress and act
both in public and private and is
always gentleman, but his English
isn't as correct as it should be. He
is willing to learn and encourages
me to correct him. However. every
one advises me against marrying
this boy, saying I would never be
happy marrying below my level.
This has made me very critical of
him and caused me to wonder if
they are right. Am I making
mountain out of a molehill, or do
you think I would be happier giving
him up? WI.
Answer: You can be just as snob-
bish about education as you can over
having blue blood or money, and
that is what you are being, it seems
to me. You are looking down on
this boy because he isn't a high
school graduate and feeling your
self superior to him, just as a COL
lege graduate would gaze conde-
scendingly on you, and a high
broWed member of the real intelli-
gentsia would regard you as little
more than an ignoramus.
So you have no real reason to be
snooty about the lads lack of for
NAL education. That is a deficiency
he can always make up. If he has
a good native intelligence and is
eager to learn and improve him
self, you will be foolish to turn him
down because he didn't complete a
school course and you did.
He may, in reality, know a great
deal more about the things that
matter than you do. Furthermore,
If you will look around among the

sent several thousand dollars on

den, early death-but there's no use
in binding ourselves to ,he fact
that il happens, and that no one is
magically immune. Nor is there any
use in disregarding the fact that the

are without adequate Independent

buffer against the economic effects
that often follow.
