The Words of a Child ITS VOCABULARY TESTED A study of the vocabulary of the child of five, in an attempt to work out a basic word list for primers, shows the word “I” to be by far the most frequently used. This is announced in a survey by the National Kindergarten and Elementary College of Chicago. A record of the conversations in thirty kindergartens in the United States and Canada during a period of four weeks, and tabulation of the results, show that the word “I” was used 1044 times, while “the,” which comes second, was used only 616 times in the list of 1,000 most commonly used words. “Me” and “my” occur among the first twenty of the most frequently used words, while “teacher” comes eighth, perhaps because the tests were taken at school. “Mother,” is the twenty-fourth word on the list in relative frequency, while “father” is way down at eightieth. “Papa” seems to be entirely obsolete in America. The child’s “what” ranks thirteenth in frequency, but “please” and “thank you” were conspicuously absent. The effect of environment on vocabulary was strikingly shown, the list from the crowded city schools showing many words relating to fighting, with considerable slang, while the mining district schools showed terms that were unknown in farm kindergartens. Ease in Learning A child can learn to pronounce his own or a foreign language best at the age of about three years, according to Dr. J. McKeen Cattell, a noted American psychologist. “There is then a drop,” Dr. Cattell continues, “and after about twelve years he cannot learn corn, etc. enunciation. Perhaps a boy can learn to ride a bicycle best at the average age of ten, to drive a motor car at the age of sixteen. Our most original ideas probably come in the early twenties.” Judicial Wit REPROVED IN DENMARK Judges in Denmark are to be discouraged from perpetrating tactless witticisms and other “asides” likely to be prejudicial to the interests of persons on trial, or even witnesses.

The present Act of Parliament which governs all legal procedure in Denmark is to be amended in many respects, and a Bill for this purpose is now before a Parliamentary Committee, which has suggested the curbing of certain judges prone to “playing to the gallery.” Another practice which it is intended to stop is that of judges and other officials expressing opinions to the press while the cases are sub judice. BRIX: UP-TO-DATE Uneasy lies the head with the permanent wave. A stitch in time saves embarrassment. A new broom sweeps the pocketbook clean. A penny saved is subject to taxation. A green apple a day will keep the doctor busy. Where there’s a will there’s an attempt to break it. A thing of beauty is a candidate for the movies. The butcher, the baker and the electric light company. Where there is smoking there is an anti-tobacco league. A miss is as good as her smile, Beauty is only rouge deep. What goes up must come down, with the exception of the cost of living. "CONSIDER" Behold, O man, that toilsome pains dost take, The flowers, the fields, and all that pleasant grows, How they themselves do thine ensample make, While nothing-jealous nature them forth throws Out

THE REPORTER'S LAST ACT James A. Doherty, aged forty-eight, a veteran New York district reporter, who died on January 29 in New York, was credited with having obtained one of the most important murder stories of the time, the murder in New York of Paul Leicester Ford, the novelist, by his brother, Malcolm Webster Ford, champion all-round American athlete. That was in 1902, and Doherty was then on the New York Sun. Policemen had been called to the Ford home. Reporters were outside. None was admitted. A uniformed messenger boy approached. "Hey, kid, where are you going with that telegram?" Jimmy shouted. "To Mr. Ford’s house." "No, you aren't. Come here,"

"Hey, kid, where are you going with that telegram?" Jimmy shouted. "To Mr. Ford’s house." "No, you aren't. Come here," Jimmy said. In the hallway, Jimmy gave him $1, exchanged caps and coat with the boy and went up to the door of the Ford mansion. "I'll sign for it," volunteered the butler, who answered the bell. "No, you won’t. Mr. Ford’ll have to sign for it himself." And it was not until the butler had volunteered the information that Ford had just been murdered by his brother who had himself committed suicide, that Jimmy relinquished the message. FROST SONG Here where the bee slept and the orchid lifted Her leaning pipes of pearl, her velvet lip, Only the swart leaves of the oak lay Drifted In sombre fellowship. Here where the flame weed set the lands alight, Lies the bleat upland, weeded and crowned with white. Build high the logs, O love, and in thine eyes Let me believe the summer lingers late: We shall not miss her passive pageantries, We are not desolate, When on the sill, across the window bars, Kind winter flings her flowers and her stars. —Marjorie Pickthall.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS Charles Dana promulgated the journalistic axiom that when it is the man who bites the dog it’s news. And yet a French dog bit a tax collector and that was news. A Justice of the Peace ruled that the dog was quite right. That makes it good news. The judgment was rendered at Lorient (Morbihan) in connection with charges made against M. Grégoire. M. Grégoire was the dog’s friend, guide and philosopher. The dog was M. Grégoire’s friend, and guard—and perhaps also, a philosopher. It takes a philosopher to bite a tax collector. It seems that the tax collector entered M. Gregoire’s home without knocking. But he didn’t go out the same way. He went out with M. Grégoire’s dog’s teeth clenched in his... well, behind him. He called for help and a policeman responded. When the policeman arrived, the dog wagged his tail. A philosophical dog never bites a policeman. When the case was tried, the justice of the peace decided that the dog had only done his duty as he had seen it. The tax collector was a stranger. He had intruded without ceremony. And every dog is expected to bite intruding strangers. The tax collector was told thereafter to knock before entering a citizen’s home. POPULAR ART The finest works of art can never be popular...

Popular art, even the best of its kind, owes its popularity to the fact that it deals with something apparent to the man in the street; art, however sublime, which goes beyond the apparent can never be popular. There is no reason, however, why the circle of appreciators should be so restricted as at present. —Percy Moore Turner. BOOKS, SCHOOLS.

PARIS THE PARIS TIMES—No. 62 THE MORNING PAPER OF THE CONTINENT.—3 PEOPLE IN THE NEWS Mr. Lloyd George is suffering from another attack of influenza and his physicians have ordered him to remain in bed. Duchesse de Guise and five members of her family are taking treatment at the Pasteur-Rabies Institute at Rabat (Morocco). They all were bitten by a mad dog. American business men in Paris received a first-hand report of the financial conditions in America when Dr. George E. Roberts, Vice-President of the National City Bank of New York and former Director of the Mint, spoke at the American Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. Mr. Roberts denies that the United States was greatly enriched by the war. He says that the paper profits were large but that they were wiped out by depressions of 1920 and 1921. As a result, the United States has shown no increase in wealth in the past few years than in any other period since official calculations have been made. War debt settlements must be made, says Mr. Roberts, even if the United States actually receives little in payments and can expect little except from Great Britain. He insists on the flow of private capital from America to Europe on the ground that capital goes where it can produce the largest economic returns and that if Europe uses this capital wisely it will profit. Mr. Roberts dismisses the fear that the increase in the gold reserve of the United States is excessive. The aggregate reserve in 1914 was 7 percent of the outstanding currency and bank deposit liabilities. Last July 1, it was 7 percent, a negligible increase in view of the fact that the United States is now the banker of the world. The Rev. William Emmett Landels, who died last week in Rome of influenza at the age of seventy-one, had carried on work in Italy for the British and also recently the American, Baptist community since 1875.

The son of Dr. Landells, of Edinburgh, and born in Birmingham, he worked for some time as a civil engineer in the sulfur mines of Sicily, but later devoted himself to religious work in Rome, Naples, and Turin. In 1912 he took the general control of Baptist mission work in Italy. Mr. T. H. Powell, of Los Angeles, is at the Hôtel Bristol, Paris.

THE WOMAN OF THE DAY OVER THE RIVER MRS. MINNIE W. MILLER. Among other things people learned during the war was that as far as farmers women were not to be despised. At a moment of crisis the city “flapper” and the village maiden came forward, donned overalls and demonstrated that they could manipulate a hoe quite as dexterously as the man. It is not surprising, therefore, to learn that, encouraged by such success, women have since gone a step or two further. Mrs. Minnie W. Miller, for instance, is owner of Thousand Springs Farm at Wendell, Idaho, and she makes a specialty of breeding Hampshire sheep,—not just one or two pets but thousands of them. In fact, with Mrs. Miller, raising sheep is what is commonly referred to as a money-making proposition. She is said to have produced the best sheep of the Hampshire breed in America, and she has numerous trophies won at many exhibitions to prove it. People of her profession have demonstrated their recognition in her ability by electing her vice-president of the American Hampshire Sheep Association. Furthermore, the Governor of Idaho recently appointed her a member of the Board of Regents of Utah Agricultural College. A particular example of women in agriculture is Miss Evelyn Smith, who is president of the Amawalk Nursery situated in the hills of Westchester some thirty miles from New York. This is the largest tree nursery in the world. The very latest wrinkle in art galleries has been inaugurated in the Boulevard du Montparnasse, close by the Jockey. It is called appropriately, “Masques et Travestis”; the first gallery, at least on this side of the Seine, devoted exclusively to that phase of modern decorative art that stems directly from the craftswork of the African negroes. Here are the masks and character dolls of Marie Vassilieff; theatre masks and accessories by Goncharova, Larionov, Foujita, Léger; the grotesque false faces designed by Jean Hugo for “Les

Why all this fuss over the discrepancy of birth dates in the case of Chopin? That’s nothing in the realm of Bohemia. For example, the birth dates of Henri Murger, the first Bohemian, are given as 1821, 2, 3, 4, and 5, by the various authorities. It has been suggested that perhaps just these differences of opinion make them authorities. The Indépendants are certainly the busy little bees. Their Rétrospective Exhibition at the Grand Palais will be followed by their regular animal Salon; and, at the end of Mardi, they will stage a big costume hall at the old Moulin de la Galette.
