It would be foolish to suppose that the babel of languages which now stafids in the way of easy communicaâ€" tion beiween the peoples of this tiny world will continue for very many years. More thin 3000 languages now exist. But the complicated. systems of intercommunication are bringing men all over the world closer together both matarially and spiritually. The difference in modes of Hving and thinking between the inbabitants of different countries is inevitably diminâ€" ishinsg. 1 do not believe that an artificial Innguage will come to be aduptedâ€" the principal thing against it is that absurd sensation felt by anyone who Ands himselft speaking a "manutac tured" language. I believe that a world language will be adopted, not by treaty or agreement, but as a reâ€" ault of natural forces. ‘Some langâ€" nages are steadily losing muld;l others are growing. Sooner or later ane of these latter wil gain such an advantage over the others that it will monopolize the field. * Already the potentialities of the varlous languages are clear ‘enough to enable us to name those which are Wkoly to be contenders in the coming atruggle. For one thing, all languages foreign to Oceldental culture are auto matically excluded, no matter how many people may be speaking them today; for Occidental culture is spreading irresistibly even into the Orient, and a civilization of Occidenâ€" tal origin cannot hope to find its exâ€" pression in an orlental language. . Turning to those lnra(es which aro truly Occidental, I fee no reason to expect ‘ny expansion of German, French, It1lian, Danisgh, and the other languages which are spoken by relaâ€" tively amaill areas, 1 therefore arrive at thr conclusion (as others have beâ€" fore ne) that only English and Spanâ€" ish save any likelihood ‘of evercoming the others in the struggle. ‘Both Engâ€" ash ard Spanish have the advantage over all others in that they are spoken over very large ard scattered terriâ€" tories which are not only well popuâ€" lated toâ€"day but give évidencs of rapid growth in populatfons. Only a blind man could fail to see the great progress that the English language and culture have made in the Ameritas., The English race has not only grown strong roots in North and South America, but, as is well known, it has spread over the world into more places than any other and has even rooted itself in places like Australia. _ And, unlike the abortive shoot which the French language sent out in Canada, English is continuing to spread. Even iw a country like Japan‘it is dificult to find a boy or girl who does not understand at least a little English and in the larger cities there are more coples of newspapers printed in English than in Japanese. 1 do not believe it possible that, in | the long run, Spanish can successfully compote againgt English,. It the Suni Jsh people had kept in the vanguard | of scientific activity, the SNnMg Ianguage would toâ€"day be in a far| stronger position. But & language of | mysticism, war, and imaginative literâ€"| ature cannot properly fulfill the needs | of the present day. Whema country | does not export the products of scienâ€"| tiflc, technical, and politieAl research, it cannot export the words with which | these things are expressed. A Span-l ishâ€"speaking person who wishes to inâ€" vestigate any field of knowledge must necessarily turn to a foreign language. Rarely do Spanish terms appear in sclentific or technical works. > Everything points to the ultimate prodominanee of English. ‘The moâ€" tion picture, for instance, was inventâ€" ed in France; but the Americans have gained a quas! Mondpoly of this powâ€" erful means of diffusing ideas. And now â€"the Americans bave invented talking motion pictures, & developâ€" ment â€" of tremendous _ importance. Sound pictures must be produced in a single language, and this language must be understood ‘by anyone who wishes to enjoy the pictures, These pletures are sent all over the world. It is in the Englishâ€"language countries that the most elaborate pictures can be made, and it is there that the bigâ€" gest audiences are found. Necesâ€" garily, talking flms produced in any other language will be less good. Thus an Argentine Peruvian, Freach, Gerâ€" man, or Spanish motionâ€"pletire fan who wishes to enjoy the best flms wust learn English. u Can a more pow=>irful weapon for the «pread of a language be imagined? And since the various pHases ot eul ture are interliaked, the more pbople there are who know English, the more books and periodicals printed in Epgâ€" lish will be read, the more opportuniâ€" ty there wil be for those who write Enc:lish, the more advertisements wili be written in English, the more proâ€" duots of the Englishâ€"speaking peoples will be bought â€" and son on.~â€"â€"Buenos Aire« Literar Monthly.> â€" .

"This is an addition to the labor market so greatly in excess of emigraâ€" tion to all parts of the world as to leave a constant increase in the indusâ€" trial population." Mr. Walker discussed the dole and declared that in his estimation, this unemployment insurance, as‘the dole is rightfully called, has blunted the edge of many a Briton‘s ambition. ° There was no great inclination to emigrate to Canada or anywhere else among. recipients of the dole, added the Director of Canadian Immigration. He said that the Dominion Governâ€" ment was concentrating its immigraâ€" tion efforts on the obtaining of agriâ€" cultural people and that it would make no effort to assist the movement of skilled labor to Canada, all organizaâ€" tions concerned with this work being so informed. s Three thousand trainees will be placed on the farms of the Dominion during the course of next year, for that number will go into training in England around Christmas and wil} fellow a threeâ€"month course, at the end of which time they will be sent out to Canada and placed on farms in one part or another of the Dominion. / BABY‘S OWN TABLETS A HELP TO MOTHERS There is no other medicine of as great" a Welp to young mothers as Baby‘s Own Tablets..

Is it to educate the peasâ€" ant or to improve the Universities and the High Schools? Primary schools involve an expenditure of 186 lakhs, secondary schools demand an expendiâ€" ture of 175 lakhs, ‘But when Arts Calâ€" leges, professional colleges, special schools and universities. are considerâ€" ed, it is found that far more is spent on secondary and higher education than on the primary schools.
