$500 YEARS AHEAD!

One of the comparatively recent devel-
opments of modern medicine is the discov-
cry that diseased teeth are the cause of ills
which affect the human body in many and
various ways.
i 1t is interesting to learaf that this theorH
was clearly apparent ip che diagnosis Of q

paragraph reads:
"The inflammation wherewith his
head, his hands, feet are inflamed is due
to his teeth. His teeth must be drawn; it is
on this account he is inflamed."
Whether the ancient medical man was
taking shot in the dark or not no one can
tell, but certainly his words indicate that he
associated the inflammatory condition of
the kings body with the condition of his
teeth. Thus the unknown Assyrian anitci-
pated modern medical theory by some 2. 900

EDUCATION MUsT~ BE ACCELERATED

Sweeping changes in methods of col
lege instruction, Mtefthe war, are suggest
ed blythe commissioner liberal education
Of the Association 81 American Colleges
The usual entrance requirements
should be discarded Or revised for return
ing members of, the armed forces and in
structional techniques should be revamped
to fitsthe developed mentalities of soldiers
and to give them an opportunity to con-
tribute to the courses they take.
This report, dealing with postwar
problems of the liberal colleges, takes cog
nizance of the difficulties that these institu-
tons face during war years, when the ma
ton takes the young men who would ordi-
narily make up their student bodies
The commission, it seems, accepts the
premise that the liberal colleges must rec
ognize the changed status of those in their
usualSage groups. It does not, apparently.
consider the alternative which presents it
self to these institutions
This alternative has been clearly stated
by Mortimer J. Adler, author of How to
Readsa Book, in expressing his opposition to
government subsidies to save liberal educa-
ton. What does Mf.iAdler suggest? Here
It is: pOTJ
The colleges of this country can save them
selves by doing now as matter of expediency
what they should have done before as prin-
cple. They can enYYlVys at the age of fiji
teen and give them truly liberal education in
the three years before the draft age is reached
In this way they will not only save themselves

Watch out! Don't slacken! Don't
let the dazzling rainbow of victor
les won blind us to the fact that the
storm is not yet over, that the
clouds are still dark above us. The
end is not yet. Now is not the
time to let down our efforts and
start scrabbling for the prizes of
peace. This war is going to last a
long time, nc matter when the hos
tilities may end. War is not just
the time of fighting, but also the
time it takes to struggle back to a
normal way of living.
The end is not yet. We cannot
win the war by over-confidence. We
cannot assume that the game is
over, just when the play begins to
run our way. The decision will
come at the end of the game when
the last play has been made and
the last battle fought. We cannot
leave the field until the final Sec
ond of the game.
We cannot win by wishing. We
have advanced this far by sacrifice.
How great a sacrifice we are learn
