Writer Says That English Universities
Are Less Affected By
Outside Oldunlon
NEW YORK, Oct 26.-"If you can-
not liberalize the student there is no
hope for America," declared Bertrand
Russell, British philosopher and edu-
cator, who is now making an Ameri-
can tour, when interviewed here re-
cently. Russell intimated that this
was a challenge to the colleges in par- I
ticular, and he placed the growth of
American liberalism in the light of
the world's one great hope for pace.
"Liberals in the United States need
to realize," he continued, "that Ameri-
ca dominates the world. To liberalize
the United States is to libearlize the
world. Liberals elsewhere feel this
keenly and it explains- their intense
interest in the late Sacco-Vanzetti
case.
"There is too much tendency in this
country for liberals to thrive and grow
fat sitting around and talking, It is,
not good for a man of 20 to think alli
of the world's 'problems are solved.
That is all right at 70 when the brain
is decaying. The liberals have gone
on too long with shibboleths. It is
time for them to find out what part
of their program may e applied to
solutions ofg te world's problems.
American liberals are too unrealistic
and too unwilling to face facts. Peace,
not pacifism is the hope of the world,
and I mean peace by force. This idea
is expressed in the covenant of the
League of Nations. While the covenant
is not ideal the doctrine is all right."
Considers Universities
Concerning the dominating ideas in
American universities, the writer stat-
ed that in private institutions it was
the wishes of those who gave endow-
ments that were consulted, in state
universities, the wishes of the clergy-
He said that in England the colleges
were more self-governing, were so old;
that they no longer needed to be re-
sponsive to public opinion. Russell
has been barred from several English
universities because of his publica-
tions regar(Ang them.
Russian education does not find a
supporter in the Englishman. He ex-
pressed a dislike to it because of its
teniency toward orthodoxy, saying
that it was incredibly dogmatic despite
the late upheavals, and that every-
thing had the air of communism. The
strong Russian bent toward practical
training was especially mentioned.
"It is analogous to the growth of vo-
cational training in American col-
leges, and like America, there is too
much emphasis on work.
Leisure Inortant
"It is the leisure time that is im-
portant. Work serves no purpose.
Americans do not work to eat; they
eat to work."
To the suggestion that Russian vo-
cational training is to be preferred to
American because the former is com-
bined with a social outlook, Russell
replied that the narrow Communism
which Is taught by the Russians was
somewhat equivalent to the patriotism
taught in American schools.
"There is' a tendency for culture
to become dead," he concluded. "It.
becomes a study of the part and the
tradition, and is then worse than vo-
cational training. There is need for
the Enter-working of the cultural and
the vocational since credit and cur-
rency are the key to half of the poli-
tical problems of our time."
FEDERAL PA TENT
OFFICE HAS MANY
POSITIONS VACANTI
WASHINGTON, D. , Oct. 26-The
United States civil service commission
has stated that there is a shortage of
eligibles for . positions of junior ex-
aminers in the Patent office at Wash--
ington, and that applications for the
positions will be received until Nov.
12.
This examination is thought to of-
fer an excellent opportunity to stu-
dents who have completed at least
two- years of a technical or scientific
course in college, and whose fund of
general knowledge in the scientific,
technical, and industrial field is nor-
mally broad. Opportunities for con-
tinuing their education in Washington
without interference with their work
are unexcelled.
The entrance salary is $1860 a year,
and the prospect of advancement in
the patent office is exceedingly good.
