Stadeker PROVINCIALIZED EDUCATION "A man who has not at least a reading knowledge of some language other than his native tongue is pro- vincial, no matter how many degrees he may have." Such is the contention of Professor Reeves. On first thought it seems almost startling. It is not the old argument for a broader edu- cation that Professor Reeves is ad- vancing, but rather a plea for the languages themselves and all that a knowledge of them makes possible. Yet even on this narrower ground it seems as though his assertion is maintainable. Americans are too prone to live within their own boundaries. There is no middle class between the let-the- eagle-scream type and the superficial Americans who affect European cus toms and look down upon American ideas as vulgar crudities. The hor- rible blunders of American diplomacy may be attributed in part to too large a dependence upon the good faith of interpreters. The secret of German commercial successes in South Amer- ica is found in the painstaking mastery of the language of the country whose trade they are endeavoring to capture. The world is becoming too interna- tionalized to permit of a successful disregard of matters of this sort. Especially will this be true in the immediately ensuing years, when America will assume a larger place in diplomatic affairs and when our for- eign commerce will compete with that of England and Germany. These are the circumstances that graduates will have to face and, ev- erything else being equal, the man who is prepared will be the man to step into the big job.

If a stranger should come into his house even as a guest, partake of his hospitality and then before leaving try to persuade him that the little fox terrier watch dog was a menace rather than a protec- tion and that he should not have bolts on his doors or locks on his windows, would the honest man fol- low the dictates of the stranger without a question, without a criti- .ism? Would he leave his wife, chil- dren and property unprotected? Most certainly not! And yet when this same condition occurs on a larger scale-when a nation is involved in- stead of an individual, so many peo- ple fail to recognize the analogue. Although several communications have condemned The Daily for its criticism of Norman Angell's lecture, I feel sure that such a spirit is limy ited to but a few and that the general sentiment of the student body is strongly in favor of The Daily's criti- cism and the argument as taken up oy Professor Van Tyne. It is certainly very narrow for one to look upon such an affair as a breach of hospitality. Mr. Angell, throughout his lecture deplored ex- isting conditions, yet he did not at- tempt- to offer any practicable remedy for such conditions. His lecture was certainly a splendid piece of oratory and we have no fault to find with his command of the English' language, except insofar as it empowered him o carry away into the realm of the fanciful, the unreal, and the impos- sible, a part of his audience. I dare say that not only the ma- jority of the student body, but also the majority of those attending the lecture, were very pleased to hear Professor Van Tyne and Professor Hobbs take issue with Mr. Angell as they did and especially so since an argument on the subject was solicited by Mr. Angell at the close of his lec- ture.

Thomas is ont of the leading Socialists in France .nd his statements carry great weight. He stated that Belgium and Serbia must be restored and German imperialism and Prussian militarism must be destroyed before France would consent to talk peace.
