Lewis Maryellen Brown FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1924 Editor-FRED K. SPARROW think how alarmingly these destruc4 tive germs are likely to increase! Truly the thinker bears a terrible re-o sponsibility. Was it not Henry David Thoreau who wrote, "What we call knowledge is often our positive ignorance; ignor- an ce; ignorance our negative knowl- edge. By long years of patient in-. dustry and reading of the newspapers -for what are the libraries of science but the files of newspapers?-a man accumulates a myriad of facts, lays them up in his memory, and then when in some spring of his life he' saunters abroad into the Great Fields of thought, he, as ia were, goes to grass likea horse andleaves all his harness behind in the, stable." We are inclined to believe that "souls of red tape" are extremely use- ful; and a man is to be congratulated at times when he casts aside thought and starts the established routine working.. THE SICK AAN OF EUROPE "The Sick Man of Europe" lies back in his wheel chair, and launghs loud and long at the rest of the world and not withoue cause. For the man -who" dared predict ten years ago that Turkey, after having been virtually annihilated would still remain in Eu- rope in 1924 would have been relegat- ed to a nearby home for the feeble- minded; yet this is exactly what has, happened. For five centuries Europe has sought to ride herself of her un- welcome visitor, the Ottoman Turk, and for five centuries, she has been unsuccessful. Three times in the 19tl- century . Russia would have accom. plished this, but for the intervention of Bismark et als. In 1912-13 the Bal- kan Alliance crippled Turkey effec- tively, but again, through jealousy and fear, the Sublime Ottoman Porte graced the Hellespont, and "points north.'" Then followed four years, in'whicb Europe strove to reproduce a certain place that Dante surveyed long ago At the close of the war the "sick man looked very sick, indeed, but bolster- ed up by the tonic of Ismet Pasha and Mustapha Kemal he drove the Greeks from his capitol, and at London, Turk- ish diplomats made imbeciles out of the Allied, representatives. So the Turk still remains in Europe and -gives every evidence of his in- tention to remain there for some years edge of the conference of ambas- sadors. The only conclusion is that l some of the Allied powers are deliber ately conniving at it. Under our ver noses French finance is making Eu- rope into a powder magaaine. "If the Continent of Europe is to be savedsfrom another war," Morel con- cludes, "the people of Britain and oth- er countries must ceast to live in world of illusions. They must de mand the whole truth, and the con vocation, before it is too late, of an international conference on this pro blem."

At any moment some section of the community might apply the match that would plunge it into' all the horrors of another great war," declared Edmund D. Morel, Socialist Member of the British parliament, and authority on foreign affairs in a1 recent interview. He charges that the real danger point in powerful industrial and fin- ancial interests in France,' and calls for the convocation of an internation- al problem and the political and eco- nomic issues which have created it. "There is going on at the present moment," Morel declares, "a more ex- tensive output of war material than at any time since the peace. The chief centers of production are two- the Skoda works in Czecho-Slovakia and the Austrian State factories. French influence and French money are directing both. "In the Spring of this year the French owned shares in the Skoda" company worth $10,000,000; the man- aging director and the chief technical experts are Frenchmen. I go so far as to say that France new control4 practically the whole war mechanism of Czecho-Slovakia. "War material is being produced in enormous quantities at the Austrian State factories. During the past 15 months Jugo-Slavia has been supplied, by the Austrian factories with 1,000,. 000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 133 wagouloads of infantry machine guns, large quantities of field guns, and an immense amount of smaller mate- rial. "Roumania has placed large orders for shells, guns and ammunition which are now in process of execu- lion. Poland is also a large pur- chaser, among the items already de- livered to her being 35,000,000 piece- of 7.9 millimetre ammunition and 34 wagonloads of smaller ammunition. "Austria is being enabled to do all this manufacturing with the aid of the French taxpayers' money, by which I mean loans, that these small- er countries are able to purchase the material. "Under the treaty Austria is not 8 fie agent and is not allowed to man- ufacture war materials. The orders to the Austrian State factories could not even have been placed, let alone executed, without the direct knowl- EDITORIAL COMMENT SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS (Boston Evening Transcript) It used to be said in favor of taching as a profession that those who followed it were sure of three months' vacation each year. The arg- ument was never wholly sound inas- much as many teachers discovered that only by devoting the summer to remunerative labor were they able to make income equal expenditure. It is even less sound today. To be sure, salaries have risen substantially, but keeping pace with them in the up- ward movement have been the quali- fications demanded of candidates for positions in the schools. As a result most teachers are confronted with the desirability, if not necessity, of giving over the summer months to organ- ized study and further professional preparation. Hence the vogue of the summer schools, never so popular and populus-as now and never before in- cluding in their enrollmentsbso large a proportion of the teachers already in service. Reports which have come from, state superintendents of instruction indi- cate that between 40 and 50 percent of the public school teachers of the country are in attendance at summer schools, such as French and history, schools, where they are not only tak- iug courses in specifima ubjects, such as French and history, but are re- ceiving a professional training in methods that is resinged to make their own instruction the more effici- ent. . . . That -teachers in all parts of the United States have yielded to the urge for self-improvement is one of the most hopeful of signs. Import- ant as the steady revision of the course of study may prove to be, there is nothing more calculated to contri- bute to the eventual advance of the schools than this determination on the part of the teachers o keep fully abreast of the educational times. The pupils of the country, and of course the country itself, will be the ulti- mate gainers. The citizenery of the uf- ture promises to be more enlightened than the citizenry of the present. If the 748 newspapers and maga- zines 'of Michigan, with an average 'circulation of about 500, have usedthe word "flapper" only twice in the past three months, the term has appeared before the readers of the state 14,538 times. But could one of the three and one-half million readers form an accurate definition of the word? Webster, had he given it space, would have probably defined flapper as "one who flaps." But if as a piece of slang it in any way connects the girl with abbreviated tresses and ,dresses with the family of domestic fowls, there's some mistake, for peo- (ple have always thought of the rooster' superficial vanity and cocksureness. Prof. W. G. Bleyer, director of jour- nalism at the University of Wiscon- sin, held up a high ideal before the future newspapermen when he declar. ed the other day that "one of his mair duties would be to train a new gener- ation of readers to whom news, real news, would appeal as of more im- portance than the society column, the sporting page, or the funny strip." Whenever prohibition in any cou- try suffers a temporary setback, a" it recently did in western Canada, the news is invariably displayed under big headlines in the "liquor-friendly' press; but when it either makes a step forward or is reaffirmed, as it recent- ly was in Norway, the fact gets lit tle prominence.
