.YOUTI SH017S THE WAY
YOUNG Yale Kfiidi'iii iiis kicked up a iiiinius at the mii
versity. Iiy .writing- for.au luidcTjfrailiiiite publication an
article in which lie tells the university authorities that their art
taste is terrible. " .'
The stiirlent,. 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.

where the cancer -quack has an

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.

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.

"1'vo turned the .time. back, to a
summer day of last year. tho In't
tle Black Clock commenced!, 'and
wo re going to
'pig's birthday pJ
party. I hope you I
havo no objection 1
to visiting a pen'.'
"Not a bit," said 1
John. "I like pips ti
pretty well. I don't jj
like them the way
1 do dogs and I
horses anil .ele
phants and tigers i
I and camels and sea I
lions, but 1 like to
hear them grunt.
FX !
and .watch them move their fun
ny little tails.''
"I often take a. stick und rub
their backs," Peggy said. "They
like it so much."
"Ah! I've turned tho time back
now, and hero wo arc."
The children and tho Clock
stood near a big pen in which
were a number of dull white pigs.
One of the pigs was standing with
his front feet upon n stump.
"It's his birthday," said tho Lit
tle Ulnck Clock, "and ho has been
making n speech. Ho far his
speech hasn't helped and I believe
he is going to make another.'1
Sure enough, he began to niakc
another speech. The Clock's mugiu
made It possible for them to un
derstand all languages and they
could even understand tho pigs
speech. ,
"Crunt. grunt." lie said, "squeal,
squeal. I've been telling you for
sotno time that my birthday would
be today. Xot thut I wished to
hint, but I felt you would like to
know It so you could give mo pres
ents." ,
All the iiIkh began to grunt and
squeal.
"The trouble Is," they all said,
"we had presents for you, but on
our way to the celebration wc ate
up our presents. They were such
nice presents food presents."
The pig got down off his stump
and looked them over.
"Pigs! You're all pigs," he
squealed.
Of course, that was quite true, .
but John and Peggy rubbed his
hack with nn old stick: so he had
a birthday celebration nftcr all.
Tomorrow "Prog Hollow."
