VITAMIN c LACK
CAUSED ScURvY

Scurvy is one of many diseases
Hong known to man which was found
to be caused by the lack of a vitamin
-ascorbic acid or vitamin G. In the
thirteenth century, scurvy took a
heavy toll among the crusaders. The
voyages of the great explorers-Co
lumbus, Magellan, Vasco da CANA
were plagued by it. OF the $50 men
who sailed with da Cana around the
Cape of Good Hope, 100 died from
scurvy. In 1900, four ships left Eng
land for India Three of them served
the usual diet and had many victims
of the scurvy, the fourth had bottles
of fruit juices on board, which were
served every morning before eating.
That ship suffered no casualties Yet
it was almost 200 years later before
the British Admiralty finally ordered
each ship to carry fresh lemon juice,
mix it with sugar, and issue one ounce
daily Finally, science discovered the
cause of scurvy to be lack of ascorb-
ic acid or Vitamin c.
Vitamin G is found in fruits, espe-
cially citrus fruits; in tomatoes and
other vegetables such as cabbage and
peppers. 1t is lost by prolonged cook
ing or by long exposure to air. Vita
min G is essential for the development
of healthy teeth and other tissues
The sunshine vitamin, vitamin D,
is formed in the skin by sunlight, and
occurs in fish, liver oil, liver, effs,

ting wire past inspection, by winding
1000 feet of good wire on a reel con-
cealing about 1000 feet of defective
material.
A number of samples were intro
duced as evidence in the trial last
week by Cyrus M. Ship, field super
visor of wire and cable for the U. S.
Signal Corps in the Chicago area.
Ship stated that these samples were
taken from reels of wire at the San
Bernardino general supply depot, the
California shipping point for supplies
to the u S. forces in the South Pa
cific. OF 70 reels of wire examined
there during November, "a were found
to have been spliced at one or more
points although the inspection tags at
tached to them stated that the half
mile reels contained no spices.
It was not pleasant for the Paw
tucket officials to hear Shipp testify
that he had spark tested Sc other
reels made by Anaconda in its Mar
ion, Indiana plant. The officials of
that plant, indicted on charges similar
to those against the Pawtucket plant,
escaped with the small fines of $751;
900 in the federal court there.

Respondents were asked their rea-

those favoring federal aid, most en-
phasized the need for equalizing edu-

A Baltimore housewife put it this

many suggested that there are too

specifically mention educational segre-

white and negro children being edu-

Most of those who qualified their

The Stockholm newspaper Alton

Meyer, brigade leader of the Nazi
Elite Guard and one of Adolf Hitler's
so-called iron men," had been rushed
to Munich to cope with falling Ba-
varian agricultural production, wide
spread crime wave and the failure of
Bavarians to provide adequate accom-

other parts of Germany.
"The insecurity in the streets and
the criminality in Bavaria is so great

CHRISTMAS ABOLISHED" FOR
NORWEGIAN NAILS

Mai Vidkun Quisling's storm troop
ers-the Hirdmen-and members Of
the Nazi S. S. elite Guard) in oc-
cupied Norway will not celebrate
Christmas this year, according to the
Stockholm Tidningen. The paper
said the Christmas celebration has
been abolished" for these Norwegian
Nazi groups, being replaced by the
pagan celebration of the solstice."
The winter solstice, which occurs
Dec. 81 or Dec. %, is the shortest day
of the year in places north of the
earth's equator, when the sun is farth-
est south of the equator
1.-THE nti-Christianity of the Nor
wegian Nazis is becoming more pro-
nounced ever day and heather Gus

Tidningen said.
Besides the solstice celebration, the
newspaper said the Norwegian Nazis
have adopted pagan rituals for the
solemnification of weddings and fun
erals. In place of Biblical texts, the
paper added the Nazis have substi-
.tuted texts from ancient German pa
gan mythology and from the "Hava-
NAL" Norways Wotan saga.

REPRISALS USED BY FASCISTS
TO "RECRUIT" ARMY

The puppet Fascist government has
started a campaign of reprisals to
speed recruiting" of an army in
Northern Italy to fight with the Ger
mans, it was disclosed by the Stock

Provincial Fascist officials, the
paper said, have been ordered to ar
rest Immediately the parents of any
conscripted Italian youth failing to
report for military duty on conscrip-
ton According to the Swedish dis
patch, the property of those arrested
in such cases has been made subject
to confiscation.
The Svenska Dagbladet said the
Fascist press has already begun pub
fishing the names of arrested parents.
The report said that where delin-
quents had no family, their finances
and, in some instances, their friends
were seized.

"AToNEMENT MEASURE"

Sabotage to a golf club during an
air raid caused Nazi occupation au-
thorities to assess a. fine of $1,000
florins as an "atonement measure" on
The Hague, capital of the Neither
lands, and five surrounding commun-
tiles, the German-language Dutch
newspaper Deutsche Zeitung in den
Niederlanden reported recently.
The paper said the fine, amounting
to $4,000 at the pre-war exchange
rate, was levied following the destruc-
ton of the Scheveningen Golf Club
at the time of an air raid on Dec O..
According to the paper, police investi-
cation revealed that the club was
destroyed not by Allied bombs, but
by sabotage.
In addition to the fine, the occupa-
ton authorities were reported to have
fixed a 9 pm. curfew for the towns
held collectively responsible for the
destruction of the golf club.

Ruskin Remembered

1t is good to think that John
Ruskin is not being forgotten. The
most recent number of the American
Society Legion of Honor Magazine
contains an unsigned appreciation of
him which is stimulating reading.
His Importance in the history of
modern civilization, the author sum-
marizeS in the words: "To beauty,
wherever and however it existed, he
gave his heart. To sell to others
that fine rapture which filled him
as he looked at an exquisite painting,
a stately palace on an ancient Vene-
tian canal, quiet lake in the English
countryside; to arouse others to the
unchanglng values of truth and
fidelity and sincerity; to shake men
free from the stale grasp of ortho-
doXy these were (his) mission, in
the fulfillment of which he tainted
not, neither was he dismayed."
Ruskin himself would have been
grateful for such a tribute. His
labors entitled him to it, and he was
not ignorant of his achievement. 1t
happened that he was at once a most
notably egocentric person and the
least meanly selfish individual of his
time and place. The fortune he
Inherited from his father he freely
gave to a number of good causes"
in which he glimpsed the vision of a
happier England. More significant,
however, was his immolation of his
own genius to social purposes No
other artist ever dedicated mind or
heart or hand more completely to
the benefit of humanity at large. He
wrote, he taught, he performed all
manner Of hard physical toll to the
end that people-all of them-might
have the experience of Joy "There
is no wealth but life" he preached.
That country is the richest which
nourishes the greatest number of
noble and happy human beings"
Perhaps it was because his own
career was so consistently sorrowfuI
that he wanted happiness so much
for mankind. His capacity for pure
and glorious rapture was superla-
lively great, yet it may be doubted
that even one single moment of such
exhilaration came to him in all his
81 years of striving. The record of
his life is sad reading. Those whom
he loved with the rarest devotion did
not understand him. He was Knocked
by the public for which he sacrificed
all that he had.
But Ruskn must not be regarded

to learn to spell. He must learn to read
before he can understand arithmetic
problems. This he does not always do in
his first six grades. Our elementary
schools have been following a course of
study, including the activity unified
program, for several years. This type
of curriculum had its beginning in Co.
lumbia University Teachers College, and
has included no phonics, very little drill
and mastery of the fundamental skills
and generally has left the pupil with
thmly spread knowledge of many things,
and little knowledge of the most impor-
tant skills. There has been an attempt
to "sugar-coat' learning and to leave
the problems to the pupils, as to what
they want to study"
This is not meant as a criticism of the
elementary teacher, but of the course of
teaching she is obliged to follow.
The teacher knows a great deal and If
she were allowed to teach without so
much interference, results would be diff
ferent from what they are.
Mrs. G. B. w.

as failure. His influence is every
where; it is felt by millions who
never heard his name; it runs
through architecture, domestic deco
ration, costume designing, printing,
the making of books, such thinking
as Barrie's and Chesterton's, even
Bernard Shaw's. He was a great
ethical crusader as well as an apostle
Of creative beauty. The writer of the
Legion essay declares: ITO the world
he offered purity and integrity in
art, honesty and justice in govern
ment, dignity in labor, and truth in
daily living as the ideals which are
the power and the glory of life upon
earth"
Perhaps John Ruskin may be the
prophet of the new world which
now is being born. No worthier
mentor could be found for it,
certainly.

Teaching Courses Blamed
For Faults in Education.
To the Editor of The Star.

10 the Edltor OF The Star:
read with surprise Dorothy Thomp-
sons series of articles lamenting the
inadequacy of the education of present.
day teachers. She declares that they
know only the textbooks which they
teach. This is not true of Washington
teachers who graduate from universities
in the District of Columbia.
In one history course alone at Wilson
Teachers College the students must
read, not skim, 50 different books dealing
with United States history. Among these
required books are Adams Epic of
America" and Charles and Mary Beard S
"Rise of Civilization,'' which Miss
Thompson declares, are an education in
themselves. There is not a course in any
subject, either major or a minor, which
does not require wide reading in order
that the subject may be completed.
I would suggest that Miss Thompson
explore the courses of study, bibliog-
raphies of required reading, ETC., of some
teachers colleges, other than that of
Columbia University. If she really wants
to know the reason for children coming
from elementary schools with insufficient
knowledge of fundamental skills, be-
ieve she can judge from the following:
A survey test in Skills and study habits
was given to IA pupils in junior high
schools vast year, revealing the fact that
graduates from the elementary schools
of the District of Columbia generally
were from two to three semesters behind
the national norm in these achieve
ments. A pupil must have constant drill
in phonics and word recognition in order
