AMERICAN SCHOOLS
SAYS TRANSLATION
TOO MUCH STRESSED
Ability to Read Rather Than Under-
standing of Text, of Major
Importance
H. E. Moore, senior modern lang-
uage master of the Isleworth County
School, London, began his talk on
the"Psychology of Translation" yes-
terday afternoon, by giving a short
description of the new method of
teaching pupils proper pronouncia-
tion of modern languages.
English Youth Begins Study Early
He stated that this method which
has been agred upon is difficult to
apply in the limited space of time
given over to the teaching of modern
languages in the American schools.
Moore said that in England pupils
from the age of eleven on into the
'niversities were taught and develop-
ed in the correct manner.
1°e said that the first requisite in
teaching of pronounciation was the
correct position of the tongue, which
ha much more to do with the pro-
pounciation of French vowels than in
English. Muscular consciousness must
be developed in the pupils. English
vowels are all dipthongs and one of
the practical devices used to overcome
the difficulty of pronounciation in an-
other language is to sing the vowels,
as this aids in showing how wrong
theyjare by the viciousnessof their
sounds.
Mr. Moore continued by saying that
too much translation was required of
pupils in school, that it was stressed
too much in examinations, and that it1
was the most difficult part of a for-
eign language to master.
He stated that the ultimate aim of]
teaching a modern language is to
impart the ability to read, not in the
American sense, but the power of
grasping the subject matter of thei
text. "Translation," quoted Mr.,
Moore, from an, eminent authority ont
the subject, "is an obstacle to the1
ability to read," .
Mr. Moore quoted many noted writ-
ers who are agreed on the fact that
too much translation is taught int
the schools, He gave a personal ex-
perience as an ex.ample. Translation,
he said, was not required in business,e
but only ' the ability to grasp the
meaniing of important matters imme-
diately.

WELLS TO PLA
"CHICK" EVANS
Amateur Golf Champon, University
Instrnctor, Accepts Bid to
Exhibition Match
WILL MEET VETERAN OPPONENT
ON COURSE NEAR KALAMAZOO
Carleton Wells, amateur golf cham-
pion of Michigan yesterday accepted
an invitation from the Gull Lake
Country Cub, near Kalamazoo, to
play in an exhibition match next
Tesday afternoon with Chick Evans,
who has won more golf medals and
championships than any other golfer
in the game. Wells, who only last
week won the state championship for
the second time, said that this would
be merely an exhibition mpatch and
would perhaps be a foursome.
A curious coincidence of this match
is that Wells caddied for Evans when
the latter was just starting on his
championship career, ten or twelve
years ago', and the outcome is watch-
ed with interest, although there are
no titles at stake,
Old Instruments
Best, Says Wier
By Margaret Geddes
"Old instruments are the only good
instruments," asserted Prof. M. C.
Wier in his lecture-recital in Univer-

ae no good." The Italians claim to
have made the finest cellos and the
first ones. The Germans, however,
are believed to have been the earliest
manufacturers of the instruments. The
oldest cello is dated 1493 and the last
great one is dated 1770.

MOVIE INFLUENCED BY'
DRAMA KIRKLAND SYS
David Kirkland, a well known mo-
tion picture director of Los Angeles
spoke on "The Art of the Photo-Play"
before Prof. John R. Brumm's @las'
in written criticism yesterday mor-
'the principal "theme of Mr. Kirk-
land's_ leture was his definition of
the photo play from a purely physi-
cal sandpontI He defined it as
"a number of strips of motion picture
film spliced together which, when
flashed on the screen tell a story that
is entertaining." .
"The photo play is, at the present
time, influenced by the dramamore
than anything else", he explained,
"and although the photo play has not
the possibilities of the speaking stage,
still pictorial art can be developed
more than the legitimate stage. When
a mechanical medium is interposed in
art, the difficulties are multiplied,
but the motion picture has many
compensations, such as the close-up,
and greater variety."
The historical development of mo-
tion pictures was also discussed by
Mr. Kirkland, beginning with the
first picture by Edward Muybridge in
1878, up to the invention by Edison
and the recent development of the
photo play.

Cortege of Sorrow
Washington, Aug. 8.-(By A.P.) -
Tens of thousands of his silent coun-
trymen paid solemn honor to the
memory of their dead leader today as
the body of Warren G. Harding lay in
state in the rotunda of the national
capitol from whence it will be remov-
ed tonight for burial at Marion, O,
Friday afternoon.
With Gen. John J. Pershing riding
ahead, the marching thousands of the
escort led the way to the capitol build-
ing, the steel of their bayonets glit-
tering above them. Soldiers, sailors,
marines and citizen soldiers-all were
there and behind them came the new
President, still bowed in grief that his
high office came at such a price.
Crowds Silent
Came also two men who before him
had held that office, one to be strick-
en and so crippled in illness that he
might not give himself as he would
to the sorrowful duty of the day. Be-
hind these, in endless array, marched
the great body of American citizenry
and the men who keep the wheels of
a great government going in the huge
silent buildings about.
Military bands interspersed in the;
columns played old, old hymns withe
stir and comfort. The hush and dimY
mystery of last night, 'when the flag-
draped casket came to its brief space I
of quiet in the White House was lack-
ing, but there was no sound or move-a
ment in the great crowds which lined
the way until that fateful burden un-
der its colorful glorious bunting hadt
been carried by on silent wheels to beI
lifted to the catafalque in the greatv
stone chamber of the capitol rotunda.f
There, in keeping with the simplicity
of the man who lay dead, the funeral
services were of brief, impressive na
ture. Afterward, In its place of hoi-
or beneath the dome, the body was tof
lie until night fall, while thousands -,
upon thousands filed past the bier 7
with bent, uncovered head to bid
farewell to the upright, kindly man
so soon to leave Washington forever.a
