THE PASSING OF THE SCHOLAR The number of students at Princeton who have elected Greek as a part of the college course is ten per cent. less than the num- ber enrolled in those classes last year. At Columbia college only seventy of the Freshman class have elected Greek. Furthermore the report is that the voluntary pursuit of the study of Latin is almost unheard of. The classics are not in the lists of the popular courses, and those who fear for the complete dying out of the old- fashioned scholar have very real reason to feel disturbed. Scholarship does not pay in this day and age. The only sort of learning that commands the re- spect of the community is that which makes a man or a woman an expert in the line of work which he or she has followed. Education that develops author- ity still commands a price. But the education that used to be the prized possession of the person who had enjoyed the advantage of four years of college is no longer worth the time that it | takes to acquire it. Communities] "do not look upon their scholars| The world of monev |" with pride. 3 has no place for them. Social dis- tinction no longer rewards them. There is no reason for the pursuit of Greek and Latin that can ap- peal to the imagination of the un- dergraduate. Education no longer leads out to wider fields. It leads up to a realm of particu- lar achievement in some particu- lar branch of science or some par- ticular profession. = Whatever does not add to the fullness of knowledge of the particular sub- ject is undesirable. It will be a pity to lose the scholar. It is a gain to have the expert and specialist. Who shall say whether the gain is greater than the loss? i 0-0 nae OH, FOR A JUDGE! In days long gone "God raised up judges to rule over Israel." From the most unlikely quarter came the leader who directed the fortunes of the people through the crisis. A faith in miracles alone can hearten the American people as they see their government obstructed and progress blocked, all because there is no great leader to guide the bodies which hold the welfare of the nation in their hands. The vision of a Congress slowly talking itself to death is not an in- spiring one for a great nation. The prospect of another following in the exact footsteps gives us no hope. The complacency of a people that permits its business to be so con- ducted inspires no trust that things will be better in the future. How long shall we be able to stand stalk- still ? o-o-& TELEPHONE FACTS Ten years ago the limits of tele- phone transmission were about 1,200 to 1,500 miles in open wires. Today, practically all parts of the United States may be placed in communica- tion with each other over distances THE WISDOM OF INEXPERIENCE Mussolini is a newcomer in the lists of the diplomats. That is per- haps the reason he dares to call a spade a spade and to say what he thinks, as well as to think what he says. He has not learned the ways of the Circumlocution office. He does not see the usefulness of red tape nor appreciate the love of the people of being fooled. He cares not for the popularity that cannot en- dure the truth. He is not a profes- sional statesman. He has not been trained in the courts of the world. Mussolini hopes "that the Turk will accept our Lausanne terms. If not, there will be war," he says. War is not a favorite word with the people of any European coun- try just now. They have had enough of it. They are not eager to put more into the business of killing than they have already done. They prefer their statesmen to talk as if war were a thing impossible, wheth- er it is or not. It is only because the new leader of the Italians is untrained in the ways of statescraft that he has the courage to say what he thinks. It is a very great asset to the Italian people and to the world in general to have such an example of honest expression of opinion on a subject of such importance. The world needs more men who are not afraid of facts nor of their own voices stating them. - 1 ARBUCKLE'S RETURN Arbuckle is to be reinstated in the movies. It is a Christmas gift from the director general of the mo- tion picture industry to the once favorite comedian. It is a gift of doubtful value to the general pub- lic. So much scandal was spoken dur- ing the trial of the actor that it is impossible to say how the public of 4,000 miles and upward. Telephone service in Japan costs $500 for the installation of the instru- ment and a government tax of $40. The government owns the system. The Attractive Woman is free from foot worry She radiates cheer, good nature, happiness. She trips down the street with freedom in every step. She may be a home-maker, a professional woman or a young business girl. She moves about her work in home or of- fice with ease. She knows from experience the con- nection between bodily comfort and mental freedom, hence she dresses with a view to securing both. She knows that her feet are an important part of her anatomy; that to be at her best physically, mentally--any- where, any time--she must be uncon- scious of them. The Cantilever Shee is made with a flexible shank which fits the arch of the foot, giving helpful support with. out hampering the play of muscles. It gives freedom to the toes and to the whole foot structure. It permits better circulation. Cantilever Shoes induce correct poise--so necessary to the proper functioning of every organ of the body, which, physicians say, means greater endurance, better health, glowing color, increased phy- sical charm. In these shoes you don't have to sacrifice appearance for comfort. In them you will find the neatly rounded toe and medium heel of fashion.

Perhaps it will de- velop that the prestige of the comedian has been increased by the advertising that he received during the progress of the trial. Perheos there has already been so much to fill the demand of the public for sensational reading that the inci- dents of the Arbuckle trial have been forgotten and the former screen favorite will be welcomed as if nothing had happened to cast a shadow over his fame. Just what will be the public re- ception of the new Arbuckle films Mr. Hays would perhaps give a good deal to know. He is banking on the short memory of the Ameri- can people and the general apathy towards such questions as the effect of the appearance of men and wo- men upon the stage concerning whose private life there is disap- preval, -- THE NEW CHAPTER IN HISTORY The history that is being made today in the financial policies of the United States will show a remark- able service that has been rendered the nation by one of her citizens who is possessed of an exceptional capacity for organization and a willingness to lend that capacity for a time to his country. The work that has been done by General Dawes in the development of the budget system for the national ex- penditure and his more recent con- tribution of the statement of the conditions that exist in the Post Office department will show in his- tory as the beginning of a new policy, a policy that has for its basis the expenditure of the money contributed by the public through taxes for purposes of the govern- ment, without a levy for the per- sonal political needs of the men who compose the government.
