shade of blue (ultramarine), we see
white when the spinning is in full

When we mix paints, the results
are different In most cases than

What Are Longest Rivers?
Another reader asks:
What are the longest rivers ON
earth? What are the longest rivers
of North American"
The four longest rivers of the
earth are the Mississippi Missouri
Of this continent, the Amazon of
South America, the Nile of Africa,
and the Oh Of Russia. The next
four are so close to being the same
length that they may be called tied
for fifth place. These are the
Amur and Lena of Russia, the
Congo Of Africa, and the Yangtze
Kiang of China.
The four longest rivers of North
America are the Mississippi Mis-
souri, of the United States, and the
Mackenzie, the st. Lawrence and
the Nelson of Canada. The Colo
RADIO River of the United States and
the Rio Grande, between the United
States of America and Mexico, have
just about the same length. They
may be classed as tied for fifth
place.
Fish Of the Ray Families.
There are many kinds Of fish in
the ray families. One Is called the
torpedo" and there are some 20
varieties. A large one can shock
man sufficiently to knock him
down. Naturally, the larger fish
learn to avoid these portable bat
teries.
Other k1hds of rays are without
the power of making electricity. A
ray four feet wide is only two inches
thick. The sting ray of the At
lantic has a long, thin tail with a
barb at the end, and when this tail
whips against a person it can cause
wound that will result in blood
poisoning. Another ray-the eagle
ray-may be IS feet wide and it is
occasionally harpooned by sports
men who enjoy a fight.
The largest member of the ray
family is called the "manta ray
1t may weigh more than half q
ton.
One day manta ray was shot
with rife bullets and harpooned by
sportsmen. More than three hours
passed before they landed it. A
dozen men joined to haul it on the
beach.

naturally presumed it to be good

about 1000 closely printed pages,

1t is likely that much more will

clear to anyone that the world is
divided by a vast war of ideOlOgies

of the state over the individual

done about textbooks and teaching
are not bOOk-burners. They are as
much concerned with academic free

aware of the dangers of censorship
of letting any group dominate what
is taught in our schools. But they
are much disturbed over that pro
portion of American teaching which
seems to be based on the theory thai
the American tradition no longer
has validity and should be thrown
overheard for a sOcialistic, tOtalitar

contrary to all the ideals of a free

During the last few years, there
has been an increasing amount Of
discussion Of some of the textbooks
used in high schools and universi-
ties, along with the character of the
teaching. The textbooks in question,
for the most part, are used in
teaching economics, history, sOciOl-
ogy and kindred subjects. And the
critisim has been based on the fact
that in a great many instances they
prOduce-either by direction or in
6irection-the impression that the
capitalist system of economics is all
wrong, that we have a great deal to
learn from communism, socialism,
and the other ideaOlOgies, that the
American economy has about reach
ed maturity and is becoming static,
and that, as a consequence, more
and more of the primary economic
functions of our society must be di-
rected, controlled, andIO owned by
the government.
.TEis criticism would be unim-
pOrtant if it came only from those
with a particular axe to grind, who
are unwilling to see anything
taught or printed which is not in
cOnsOnahce with their ideas. How
ever, it has appeared in many lead
ing magazines, including the Sat-
urday Evening Post, many news
papers, and it has been voiced by
distinguished educators, public OIL
cials and others. Young people, they
say, are being given a highly errOne-
Gus idea of what has happened and
is happening. The shortcomings OF
capitalism are being played up, and
the vices of communism are being
played down.
This is, obviously, a very tOuchy
subject. 1t has a direct bearing or
academic freedom, which is GER
tainly as important as any of the
other freedoms. The American peO-
Dle don't want their offspring to be
given instruction which is heavily
weighted in favor of industry, labor
agriculture, or any other specia
group. It is certainly necessary tina
students be given a clear and Objec
tive understanding of the principle!
upon which all the economic ant
social systems from the farthest lef
to the farthest right are based. Th'
problem is to keep the truth, wheth
er or not it is distasteful to an!
group, andtO win now the prejudi
ces and the subtly wOrded inferen
ces.
