R. Morris, British automobile manufacturer, who tells 4he reporters at old Oxford, where we send the brightest of our youths as Rhodes scholars, that a university educatioh is “ wasted time,’’ and of absolutely no benefit in the business world. LC u m P ñ * s w e u . i - m - 1/ “ The Romance of Ford Finance,” say other news dispatches, telling the story of the little band of faithful apostles who made millions out of sav ings accounts, and are now distinguished by being sued for several millions by a government which is better at tax collecting than at handling diplomatic affairs that involve the merely human rights of the people of neighbor nations. The coincidence of these two pronouncements pieces together a pretty hard case against the school men, and moves the lathes and the pig iron and the stithies and the stamping machines right np to the doors of the schools, while the books and the football coaches prepare for flight out the back ways. A university education is a flop when it comes to making automobiles, says one Ford in England, v and high romance is to be found only in creating ‘ fliverrf and figuring income tax, says the other. That settles the argument, of course, for Romance is what we are all after. Romance is Life, and Life’s the thing we have before ns.' Over a few thousand years we have been fiddling around^ quite aimlessly, trying to find our romance in zoology, in paleontology, in human history, in literature on the wings of soaring human imagination in human thought and its cnrious, half-serious, half-humerous complications. We have housed our romance in the holy of holies of the Fntnre, and sought to glimpse it by treading the labyrinths with a chart of the experience of the past) we have found pleas ant and romantic the charades and cross-word puz zles that Life presented, and sharponed out wits to enjoy them. We have laboriously acquired dream materials, by the sweat of x>ur brows, and with them we have built romantic castles ih Spain in Which we played and found some romance, too. Now, we discover, in this year of our Lord 1927, only, that we have been on the wrong track for thousands of years. We should .have been build ing automobiles instead of watching the stars, or beetles, or conning hooks, or trying to get a peek at Life itself. For what is life compared with a carburetor or a timing gear? I Fortunately all onr outlay is not wasted. Most university buildings would do very well to •make flivvers in, once the seats and blackboards were moved ont and the lathes moved in. We shall have to scrap only the machinery of education. Of course professors of Greek and anthropology, especially if they are past middle life and somewhat set in their ways, would probably not make much of a fist of plying monkey wrenches, but there will be sewers to be dug, and valets needed for tho new romanticists, too provide the proper sartoriql touches • when they journey to Washington to he sued* for a few millions extra taxes. About 85 per cent of the world’s oil is produced in the United States and Mexico, but our country owns less than one seventh of the world’s reserve of o il There is going to be a tremendous scramble for oil in the future, and all the countries are reaching out into the farthest corners of the earth to get their portions of this vital material of daily life. It will take skilful diplomacy to get oUr fair share of it. The more the United States cultivates international friendships, and deals fairly with the various nations, the easier it will he to obtuiu our share. NUMBER FIFTEEN Two hundred and twenty-on© years ago a good housewife of Boston leaned over the picket fence of her front yard and called over to a neighbor: “ The Franklins have a new baby.” “ Good Ix»rd, that’s thx.—” “ Fifteenth.” “ Boy or girl!” “ Boy.” “ What’ve they named hunt*’ “ Benjamin.” “ Poor thing, he won’t have much chance in this world—nurnber fifteen!” “ I Huppose not.

It Is nice to forget, sometimes. The alarm clock failed tq ring again this morning, and I got an hour or so more sleep than was coming to me. When I awoke the sky was all aglow with Streamers of deep crimson colored clouds The west rim of the Lake seemed to he bathed In blood, though the Waves on the water were running high, yet the deep blue of the deeps were turned to lavender. How easy it Is at such times, When Liao Is streaming with blood, for the mind to drift with that of our red brother, and pic ture a carnage of gods upon Its lofty heights, and as the waters grow crimson, one expects every moment to see it broken by the thrashing of huge claws. With the thundering of snow slides, the spiral puffs of whirling snow on the side of Glacier, the walling moan of the wind one Is almost tempted to climb to higher ground to view the battle of giants, that seems to be Just over the west rim. , ' - With qreaks and groans and rattle of links, the soft booming thud ns the snow white canvas took the wind, the towering masts the gleaming bows, manned with a crew of silent men; she gather ed a feather of white water under her bow and sailed like a chang ing shadow from under the blue haze of the cliffs of Dutton.
