William Harlan Hale, a seninr, dei'lares that Yale's huikliiiK fund of more than 0,000,000 has been ntro- eiuuslv handled. Hi; talks abuut lb" building authorities, anil accuses incut that is sure to spoil the to eome. . : ' His article, originally published in the Ilarkness Hoot, at - ti'itcli'd the ut lent ion' of Charles liutler, chairman on education of the American Institute of jrchitccts, who tliiuight the stu dent's ideas were so sound that he asked the Aiucrwau .Architect lo.reprint the vii-ce in order that architects throughout the nu tion might read it. ' ALE wastes no kindliness on the university authorities. The principal campus buildings,, he declares, we slavish copies of. older structures, having no relation to the purpose they are supposed to serve. Take, for instance, his confluent on tho $7,000,000 Sterling Memorial Library of liiVlessncss and decadentje, none mail surpass it in extrava gance and falsity." Tho Ilarkness Memorial (uudranle, lie declares, is dark and mediaeval; he spoofs the new gymnasium because it has heen constructed so as to permit Yale students to play squash in a Oofliie cathedral tower. "No life, no vision, no sympathy with what live and breathes, no understanding of . iinylhiiig that is not in books this is the condemnation which wepronounee upon the builders of the new Yale," says the student critic, "Immense sums of money and surpassing opportunities have been given. thejn, and the future of art at Yaleplaced in their custody. They have defrauded the trust, they, have deceived the generations that lire to follow. (Jaunt, lifeless,, untruthfully antique, their vast structures arc doomed to press .their dead weight upon the tens of thousands who must inhabit them." THE UNEMPLOYED '"I TK HE are two classes of unemployed, those whose minds are idle and those whose hands are idle. The first outfit is more or less responsible for the second. Idle minds are one of the things wrong with this country, idle minds in every stratum of political, social and economic life. f wo would think about our problems seriously as a nation, if we didn't have so many idle minds we would not have so many idle, hands. TpIIIOU-K is food enough on this continent for everyone. There is shelter fpr all., We have plenty of heat, light, and power, to keep everyone at work. Yet' amid this glut, millions stand ittle because tens of millions. of others do not think seriously how to readjust th? social and economic machinery of this country to bring the hungry and the cold ami illclad inlo comfort and to bring .to the, hungry, :cold anil illclad food ami find and shelter and clothes from out of tin abundance. 1 ' A Nl) the sad part of it is that when anyone tries to think, when anyone would use'his mind to consider the problem of the bodies as a unit, the voice of the idle minded is raised in protest, crying "hel it, alone. It, will solve itself. Hands off. The past is good enough." ' ' -, J$ut the past i, not good enough. The past has failed. New conditions will not fit Hie old machines. The ship of state(l1he proud ship of state is listing politically we have devised a gov ernment so rigid that it will not out of adjustment that it loses most of its motion. Jn economics and industry, wo are centering too much of the gross income of our commerce in too few hands, paying too much for ownership and superintendence and too, little to those who man tho ma chines and fill the difficult places. ' ( A NM) while this lists, thousands of passengers mid crevs are turning on the radio to listen to the noise, going to the! movies for tho mere thrill of seeing the idle minds that have stepped masters are dancing like idiots on (Emporia, nu) tJa.ctte.

The honest doctor cannot promise or pretend to guarantee a cure, Thc failure of tho home doctor to give the patient positive assurance of a euro convinces tho piitlciit, if he nr she is Very Ignor ant and credulous, that the homo doctor Is Incompetent, no good ; especially If some plausible can cer charlatan sends u long dis tance promise of cure.

U'illlmn Brady hi caro it JIl'.MAN XATl'llK Williams, Grand Rapids, on the radium treatment of akin cancer, which has given D.I per cent of successful results, In cases care fully followed up. I find this sig nificant observation: "In following up the results of ratfium treatment, wo may be quite sure of seeing tho patient while tho lesion is re acting ho is worried, ' and thinks himself worse; but it is hard to get him to coma back for observation after tho lesion Is apparently cured. Wo find, however, that on re quest almost tiny patient will mail a stamped return letter of Inquiry o planned as to re quire only n word or two of response." That's human nature for you! Dr. Williams says that superfic ial skin cancer (epithelioma ) gave UK per cent of cures by surlgal excision 15 yeiirs ago. Tho addi tion of X-ruy t real men t brought the percentage of cures up to about 70 ten yearn ago. Five years ago the combination nf surgical ex cision, X-ray in mass dosage and electro-coagulation still further in creased tho percentage of cures. Hut from experience with M0 cases treated with radium, soine- times combined with elcctro-coag- ulatlon (diathermy), !r. Williams leols that (his form of cancer may now bo. practica My a I ways en rod. In another part of his report the author refers to the fear of surg clean surgical operation. Perhaps w 1 1 h the more effective use of X-ray and radium today this grave pitfall will not catch so many victims. It is good to think that science is winning over even human nature.

It sounds good. ; 1 V parents P11A1SK Hy Alice Jiidson Pculo Praise Is ono of tho most ef fective menus of directing tuid controlling children's behavior. liven a tiny baby responds to tho smile of parental approval by trying to repeat tho action which evoked It. We should therefore bo careful to praise, tho right thing, and to do it In such a man ner as to encourago only tho de sirable part of tho child's behav ior. Because wo are pleased witlr tho child when ho has done some thins wo like, It Is natural for us to exclaim in such a way ns to draw his attention to himself, in stead of to tho thing ho has done. If Mary has conscientiously picked up the scraps of paper with which sho has littered tho floor, we are apt to exclaim, "What a dear good ch,lld you are-" It is much better to say, "That's fine. Just see how nice tho floor looks now. That makes it so much easier for mother." Put In this way, tho pralso cen ters tlie child's attention on her achievement, inspiring her to re peat the act unother tlinu to win the sanio warm praise. Tho distinction is not unlm purtant, for in tho development of the child character It makes a great deal of difference whether or not his interest is Increasingly drawn away from himself toward satisfaction in his good behavior and achievement for Its own sake. It is also bad to pralso a child Indiscriminately. Unless pralso Is earned through effort and success, it loses all proper significance. Unearned pralso leads the child to expect It as u mutter of course, and discourages the effort neces sary to win it anywhere but ut home. 'Mothers should thereforo make dally opportunities for thc child to achieve thoso little successes for which he may justly bo praised, and which stimulate him to furth er effort and furtlfer achievement.
