PROGRAM

Noun. An official bulletin; ra-
dio performance.
No word in common use is so
widely mispronounced Do not say
"pro-grum" or 'pro-gr'm. No die
tionary published sanctions the
smothering of the second syllable of
program or the third syllable of tele-
gram. si3(
The gram in these words is the
Identical gram of monogram, dia-
gram, epigram, cablegram, and an
agram.
To say "pro-gr'm" and "tele-
grim" is as absurd as it would be to
say "mono-gr m, dia-gr'm, cpl
grim, cable-gr'm, ana-gr'm," or to
speak of something as being several
"gr'ms" in weight.
We cannot emphasize too strongly
that the gram of program and teIe-
gram must rhyme with ham, not
with hum.
Correct pronunciation: Program.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented)

Society of Friends

George Fox was 19 when he felt
the call to preach which resulted in
his arrest for disturbing the peace
and his establishment Of the Soci-
ETY. of Friends (Quakers). Priests,
lawyers and soldiers were all OBJ
noxious to him." says biographer
Consequently, every type of perse-
cution was practiced on the sect in
England and the American colonies ;
for long time it was a worse crime
to be a Quaker than thief. Will
liam Penn was jailed because he
was a Quaker; this induced him to
come to America. Numbers of Quak-
er men were put to death in Massa-
chusetts; In New Hampshire Quaker
women were stripped and whipped
from one town TO another, for Quak-
ers were the first to acknowledge
the equality of men and women in
religion and allow women to preach.

Present-Day Vocabulary
Exceeds Shakespeare

The vocabulary of an educated
,rosent-day adult is about four
times as large as the vocabulary
used by Shakespeare in his writ
NOS according to DR.. Robert H.
Seashore. associate professor of psy-
cbolosv at Northwestern university,
of Evanston, Ill.
DIR. Seashore and his colabor ator,
Miss Lois D. Eckerson, who have
lust completed seven years work on
the Standardization of their new vo-
cabulary test, announced that per-
sons taking the test had an average
vocabulary of about $4,000 words,
exclusive of derivatives, while
Shakespeare used only about $4,000
such words in his plays.
ut should be remembered" DR..
Seashore pointed out, that older
writers had a much smaller Eng
lish language to draw from, and
that we know nothing about the num-
Der of additional words which they
could have used if necessary, or at
least understood.
The psychologists selected for
their test the third word given on
each of the 1873 pages of the Funk
and Wagnalls' unabridged diction-
airy. After dropping prefxes, suf-
fixes, and authorizations, they had
a list containing 1920 words. These
were made into four equivalent lists,
any one of which could be used for
testing. A multiple choice Of def
milton is offered the person taking
the test, and he is asked to select
the correct one.
More than 500 college students
have been given the test, and re-
suits show that the average per-
son has in his vocabulary about Co.
900 common words, 1900 rare words
and about 95, 900 words derived from
common words in forming other
parts of speech, compound words,
and so on. This means that the
average person wOuld know about
l56, 1000 of the 100000 items listed in
an unabridged dictionary.
1--WE found that knowledge Of q
word is ordinarily all or none, 4"
Dr.. Seashore reported, that is, if
a person can recognize the word at
all, there is good chance that he
can also use it. We also found cor
relations between this test and other
educational tests, indicating that vo-
cabulary is closely related to or an
essential part of the complex abili-
ties known as general intelligence
and reading comprehension"
Individual Vocabularies were
found to range from $4,000 to 1922
500 words, he said.

Child Meningitis Deaths
Are Cut by New Drugs

Deaths caused by meningitis re-
sulting from common influenza have
been reduced 20 per cent since the
use of sulfanilamide and sulfapyri-
dine for treatment.
"Sulfapyridine promises to reduce
this figure to a still lower level, 4"
according to DR.. Javier W. Lindsay
and DR.. Clarence Rice, of Children S
hospital, Washington, D. c.
These doctors point out that men
nights resulting from common in
f1uenza was the most common dis
ease-excepting tuberculosis-found
in children under two.
DR.. Sara E. Branham, senior bac-
teriologist of the National Institute
of Health, reports that the two drugs
had been valuable also in treating
meningococcus meningitis-common
spinal meningitis-in mice.

Cellar Stairs Safety Hint

Cellar stairs deserve more consid-
GRAFTON than they have been receiv-
ing. Despite the fact that cellar
stairs bear more heavy loads than
other stairs in the house, they are
frequently constructed in a careless
manner. While cellar stairs need
not be finished as we'll as the main
stairs, they should be given as much
consideration as far as safety and
use are concerned. A railing and
adequate head room are the two
main factors to remember.

Storing Green Vegetables

Moisture and quiet cold air keeps
green vegetables most nutritious, it
is reported to the American Chem
ical Society. When so stored, vege-
tables are much better protected
against drying and willing. Fresh
vegetables are living organisms,
and as they wilt they sicken and
die. and their cell walls tend to
break. Under such conditions the
vegetables are less able to retard
the destruction of their vitamips.

Mothers should remember that

they do not, it may be supplied in
the form of custards, or with choco-
late added for a chocolate-milk
drink.
