even this would be too harsh
for q painting which is
cracked, old or brittle.
If your new painting has
never been vanished, you can
buy q small bottle of varnish
and q soft brush at an artists
supply store. After removing
all dirt and lint. apply one
thin coat of varnish. When
the varnish becomes dirty,
perhaps in 20 years, the
painting should be taken to a
professional restorer to have
the varnish replaced. Never

Attenuation And Education

States. except professionally.
Between" has reference to two
only, and there were many. He
thinks grammar requires that it
be War Among the States" But
that sounds like free-for-all.
His observation-disclosures probably
won't carry far enough to let him
accept "War of Northern Ag-
gression."
Civil War" suits me better
and better as the name. It was
war not between states but be-
tween ideologies about states. It
is still going on. It has become
the Battle of the World.
Il i y
It may transpire that for de-
mocracy-gone-maudlin we have
two present examples. We have
| only the spectacle of the Congo
and other African areas where
self-government is pretended for
peoples totally without self-con-
troll. experience. comprehension
or character. and where chaos is
accommodating in result.
The sin of this century -
whether any of us are left to de-
plore it or not-may turn out to
have been this loosing of UMPIRE
pared and incompetent Africans

world as self governors. Our
Southern states are to be pointed
with pride, not viewed with
alarm.
Another and far away from
Africa example of maudlin de-
mocracy may be presidential
press conference. Granted that
Mr.. Kennedy shows extraordi-
nary grasp and intelligence in
his off-the-cuff answers and that
the nation is impressed, neither
he nor anyone else is adequate
to what he is undertaking. It is
a reflection on the completely
and might of this country to
think its most delicate, difficult
and vital concerns can be ex-
posed to impromptu answers in
the presence of the wide world,
by the supremacy responsible in
dividual.
Why is it necessary? What
does it gain? It seems such a
piece of bravado and sentiment
tally.
Respectful as am of profess
sors and dazzled as am by sons
of riches, I often wonder why
both of those groups tend to mis-
take socialism for liberalism and
to presume that conservatism is
a cuss word. Perhaps it is be-
cause both, in spite of their
special advantages. are under
privileged. They have no direct
contact with the competitive. pri-
vate free terpris system
which makes America click.
