Dead or dying wood should be re-

in the dead wood lying on the

Is THE war eating into the
l. nerves and brains of the
children? If so, that is the sad
dest thing that can be said
about this conflict.
In New Brunswick, y. j., re-
Gently thousands of children be-

Previous TO that, 100 chill
dren went almost daft at

there were signs Of these hys-
terical explosions when General
MacArthur's name was men
toned and at the singing OF the
National Anthem.
Educators are at a loss to ac-
count for these outburstS. Are
those scenes taking place in
other towns?
Is it necessary TO jam the
heads of our children full of
this war? Why are they per-
mitted at rallies and places
where hySterical patriotic out
bursts $50 healthful for adults
are going on?
Motion pictures and the radio,
together with mass high school
meetings are crowding the heads
of young children with images,
words and ideas that their
nerves and their emotional sys-
stems cannot digest.
Let us put some reason in our
patriotism when it comes TO
children. We are dealing with
the most inflammable and deli
cate organisms on earth. 1t is
easy to ruin their nervous
systems. And what crime is
comparable TO the psychological
mutilation of a child?

challenge Of young Jerome to
the youth of America, especially
to the winners:
what Is the trouble with
most OF us? Year after year
the majority of young men go
out into the world without a
very deep faith and conviction
in the democratic way of life.
ut is time for us to catch the
true spirit of America, the spirit
of its past and of its destiny, to-
gether with the spirit of its
culture. its psychology and its
philosophy.
1--WE can renew faith only by
going beyond the transitory
trappings of the American epic
to the very heart and soul of
our country.
"Our way of life. with all its
shortcomings, seems pretty
sound to me, and 1 believe 1t Is
time for all of us to begin to
get self-consciOus about its posi-
tive values"
THIS is the gist Of what
Il Jerome caused the nine pro-
feSSors at Colgate to say:
Freedom Is not a gift, but an
achievement cOnsta ntly won
anew.
I'VE in America speak of our
heritage of freedom and sing
songs Of gratitude and praise
TO those who forged our liberties.
But neither gratitude nor praise
nor ardent hope can save that
heritage unless we ourselves
fight the same battles our
fathers fought.
"The fronts of battle shift
and change, new problems ever
requiring new techniques; but
only the same indomitable spirit
and jealous care that first Sc
cured our liberties to us can
make our liberties secure"
In the following two points
Of view we are beginning to get
a more realistic grip on our
AmericaniSm:
Ito the youth OF America:
There is no greater vision for
the future than the vision of our
past, and 2-The battle for lib
erty goes on everlastingly. Those
who would he free must them
selves strike the blows for it
and must never relax their
vigilance or drop their weapons.
This war, rightly conceived, is
the rebirth Of America, let us
hope. And any young man, in
college or not, who prefers the
ball-and-chain of RECOMMENDATION
during peaCetimc TO liberty
simply does not belong here.

Ire m e n d Gus Demand

BY DOCTOR CLENDENING

lust as the present emergency
" is putting a tax upon the
supply of doctors and nurses,
so is there naturally ire
mendous demand for dentists
and pharmacists.
DR.. Harry B. Pinney, secre-
tary of the American Dental
Association, has said:
Last years graduating class
from the nations 80 dental
schools was 1.568-the smallest

note, is furnishing an intensive
course in order TO train pharma-
ciStS.
These courses are 10 be given
at six general army hospitals
and last for a period OF 80 days
or II weeks.
Previous civilian occupations
are not very important factors
in determining who shall be as
signed TO take the pharmacy
technician course.
Consequently, army men hav-
ing all types of experience now
are taking these courses.
THE pharmacy course seems
l. 10 me TO be quite complete
in spite of the short time re-
quired TO take il.
II consists in course in
pharmacy mathematics which
reviews the fundamentals of
arithmetic, the metric and
apothecary systems of weights
and measures, study of per
centagcS and percentage solu-
tons. calculation Of dosage and
so forth.
An equal period OF time is
given TO chemistry.
Another part OF the course Is
given TO general pharmacy with
study Of the compromising of
preparations and also a study of
prescriptions.
Another subject Is materia
medica, or the action of drugs
and other preparations.
Finally there is a course in
pharmacy administration, which
includes the filling and filing of
prescriptions, conduct in the
pharmacy and so forth
Some pharmacists have ex-
pressed a fear that after the
war is over the people taking
these courses will infringe upon
their professional prerogativeS,
but / cannot feel that this is a
very pressing danger.

that he had resigned or suggested
his resignation as assistant director

but adding that for the time being
he lis obliged to give all his time to

However. an Owl spokesman ad-

demands on his time resulting from
holding two jobs. he might better
withdraw from the policy -determin-

tention of letting Mr. MacLeish go.
The statement from Mr.. Mac
Leish's Office, prompted by a pub

resigned or suggested his resigna-
ton, said:
Mr.. MacLeish has not resigned as
assistant director of Owl. For some
time he has been forced to divide his
time between the ONCE of War In
formation and the Library of Con-
gress. He has made no statement as
to his future plans"
The Owl spokesman said Mr..
MacLeish felt he had been neglect

an arrangement probably would be
worked out under which Mr.. Mac
Leish would spend more time at the
