New Counting
Method Planned
By Norwegians

Top Norwegian educators and
school officials met in Oslo last
week to decide whether Norweg-
ians may have to learn how to
count all over again. Under the
established system of counting, the
figure 90, for example, Is express
sed "three and twenty" instead of
"twenty-three."
Among those actively backing
the system where figures would
be pronounced in the order they
are written, is the Norwegian Tele-
phone and legrap System
whose proposal brought about the
recent meeting. Teachers, too,
point out that it is difficult to
teach youngsters that the digit
which is pronounced first is actu-
ally written last. Too many first
graders find it more reasonable to
write three and twenty" 80 in
stead of %. The Netherlands.
which is presently considering a
similar problem, is watching the
outcome of the Oslo meeting.

Introducing Scandinavia
Denmark

A Chapter proving con-
clusively that We are Demo-
cratic, though our manner of
showing it may on occasions
seem curious.
The Danes are democratic. In
deed, some people have asserted
that we are more democratic than
others. But comparisons are out
of place here
The facts, so far as they con-
Germ the majority of visitors, are
simple. Nobody looks down on
man who is a millionaire. We know
that the taxation system will not
allow him to go on being one for
very hong and anyway he is not
happier than the rest of us. SINH
larry, it is accepted that a man
can be just as good as his neigh
Dor even if he happens to be a
count or a prince or "un bourgeois
de bourgeoisie bourgeoisante".
Naturally there are snobs in
Denmark. So there are in the
Philippines, the Isle of Man, Skye,
and the Tyrol. But it is probably
true to say that the Danes are
more snobbish about success than
about money, more about ability
than about titles.
Certain distinctions must be ad-
mitted, but nobody has yet dis
covered where to put the distin-
ton. It is an indubitable fact that
many a taxi-driver reads Huxley
in the original while many a gen.
eral manager finds it difficult to
read a thriller in Danish. But
thanks to an excellent school sys-
tenn, the Universities and, not at
least, the Danish High Schools, al
most anybody who is mentally
equipped for study can do so. The
resulting high standard of educa-
ton brings professors and ditch
diggers alike to a cultural level
on which they can converse with
ease. What is more, they do. Vir-
tually the only difference between
them seems to be that the ditch
diggers earns more than the pro-
fessor who consequently may feel
himself at a slight disadvantage,
though not quite inferior if he re-
members that there are lots of
but not very many
professors.
Many of our artists began as
many of them end up
that way.
Men and women have equal and
common franchise, but they are
good friends for all that.
