DOROTHY T.--My hus-
band and ! have nothing 10
talk about.
HENRY Ts-There Is too
much useless bla-bla going
on.
THE DETAILS
Dorothy Thy husband
and ! are IN our late COS
with grown and married chill
dren. We see our children
over the week ends but are
alone nearly every evening Of
the week.
Recently our Iv set was on
the blink and I made 9 start
ling discovery. NY husband
and I didn't have q word 70
say 10 one another. The house
was so quiet all evening
Il was unbearahle. NY hus-
band dozed In his chair and
/ had the fidgets.
To me Il "a q terrible thing
that we should have lived to-
eether for nearly 20 years and
have nothing 10 say TO each
other.
Henry TT don't see why
anyone should have TO make
conversation with his own
wife. It's bad enough you
have to so around with your
tongue wagging In company.
My parents were very quiet
people. They used to sit to-
gether ell evening - Nom
knitting or sewing and Dad
smoking his pipe. Just think
ing or reading the papers
never saying one word to each
other. They didn't see any
thing wrong with 1t. ] think
they probably really enjoyed
themselves that way.
In my opinion there is too
much useless hla-hla going on
in the world today. People
are afraid of q little quiet
they might have to think or
something.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We agree with Henry that
people are afraid OF q little
quiet" and feel called upon to
I'LL the silence with senseless
talk.

contributed to our lack Of
independent resources and TO
the feeling Of anxiety we ex-
perience In the midst Of quiet.
but they are by no means the
only factors.
One additional factor Is the
lack Of respect In today's
world for individual thinking
and craftsmanship. Henry's
mother found great satisfac-
ton In her quiet concentra-
ton upon the creation Of ar
ticles Of dress or ornament,
and his father had enough
respect for his own opinion to
want quiet in which to null
over the world situation or
personal and moral problems
In his own head.
Today we don't know what
TO do with q quiet moment
because we can 50 easily buy
our material necessities and
our ideas ready-made.
Another source Of the fear
Of silence is connected with
the idea of death. Silence
often suggests the ultimate
silence and this makes many
Of US feet quite uneasy.
Strong religious faith, which
involves q deep acceptance
Of natural order and a be-
lief In intangible values. is
an antidote to this fear.
Dorothy should not feel
she and her husband are out
of touch with one another be-
cause they do not make con-
versation. Only those who
have very little In common
must cling to talk as to a
Misunderstanding on to the
conversation even when
there is nothing TO say.

Dorothy. she should. how

THE CENTURY VOICE
Is Colleges Now
On Accredited List

President Samuel C.. Kinche-
loe of Tougaloo Southern Chris
tian College has recently made
an Interpretation of the fact
that the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools
at it's meeting in Richmond,
Va, Dec. S, invited into full
membership Is senior colleges
and three junior colleges. There
are over go colleges on its list
of accredited schools. Some of
these have not complied com
pletely with all Of the standards
set down by the Southern Asso-
citation. DR.. Kincheloe points out
that this is very significant
move in the direction of more
basic relationship of all the edu
cational institutions in the AS
ISOLATION. For 10 schools to be
admitted to full membership
has greater significance than a
mere token of three or four. On
the other hand, even though
parge proportion of the SO col
leges was not admitted, a de-
finite program for such admis-
sion is underway. By 1861 all
these colleges will either be adj
mitted to full membership,
which means generalization, or
else they will not be carried as
a separate list by the Southern
Association. Any college which
is not accepted by 1861 may in
the future improve its standards
and apply for membership. This
program is one of reasonable
procedure and bids fair to be
of great service to all the uni
versities and colleges in the
South. 1t is clear that in the
future the examinations of the
work of these colleges will need
to be qualitative as well as
cumulative. 1t is much simpler
to have objective measurements
such as the number of teachers
with Ph.D's or the number of
volumes in library or the

DIR. NORRIS FISHBIEN'S
VIEWS ON CLEANLINESS

says: mo other single article

and death prevented by its use.

AS chief health officer for her
family, the American housewife
would do well to copy the words

of her soap supply cupboard.

the quality Of teaching. The
South is moving rapidly to put
its work in education on high

False Report Loid
To Waitress, Is

A waitress who told police
she was wounded in the ankle
by an unidentified assailant
early yesterday has forfeited
$100 on a false report charge.
Mrs. Edna Mae Mooza, IS. of
the 1900 block of Biltmore
street NV, first told police she
received the injury as she walked
across Thirteenth street at
New York avenue NV. and
that the shot was fired by one
of four motorcycle riders who
were parked near the intersec-
tion.
Later, investigating the re-
port. police gained an admis-
sion from her that the injury
resulted from a flrecracker
which someone had tossed in
the tavern where she works.
She said she made the first
report because she was advised
that the f1recracker incident
might cause trouble for the
tavern owner.
