■Children learn more from
chance remarks dropped by
their eiders than they do
from ail the lectures and ser-
mons they ever hear.
Nothing gives youngsters
such a wrong slant on life as to
hear their parents constantly
criticizing neighbors, acquaint-
ances and public men. One
who hears no good spoken of
anyone in his childhood is
likely to grow up believing
there is no good in anybody.
I am thankful that t was
reared in a home where no
careless criticisms or unfair
judgments of others were ever
heard, a tolerant home.

Sauce for the Goose
The teacher was telling her
class a long, highly embellish-
ed story of Santa Claus, and
the mirth of Willie eventual-
ly got entirely beyond his
control.
"Willie,” said the teacher
sternly, "what did 1 punish
you for yesterday?”
"For telling something that
wasn’t so,” promptly answer-
ed Willie. "And I was just
wondering who was going to
punish you.”—C h r 1 s t i a n

Brilliant Idea
“And believe me, mum,”
said the country postman, “I’ve
to walk over a mile to the
farm over there, just to deliv-
er this circular.”
"How annoying,” said the
sympathetic villager.
"Wouldn’t it be much simpler
to send it by post?"—Tit-Bits.
Short Tale
“Now, boys," said the school-
master, “the word novelette
means ‘a short tale/ You may
now write in your copybooks a
sentence containing the word.”
A few minutes latef he pick-
ed up Johnny Brown's effort,
and read aloud; “Yesterday I
saw a fox terrier running
down our street wit ha tin can

DIESEL .... fortune
For a good many years 1
have been making occasional
predictions in this column of
greater use of the Diesel type
engine for purposes for which
gasoline engines are general-
ly used. For years heavy
power plants have been using
Diesels, but the problem of
building them for use in places
where weight has to be con-
sidered is still not completely
solved.
One of the big automobile
makers, however, has come
out with a Diesel-engined
truck, and I am sure the rest
will follow suit A motorcar
maker produced a light-
weight Diesel some years ago,
which was put in an airplane
and flew the plane from De-
troit to Washington, but it was
still too heavy for high-speed
flying.
We are going to come,
some day, to Diesel engines
for flying and for everything
i else we use power for. They
j are simpler than gas engines,
j need no electric sparks, and
j run on heavy oil which is not
I inflammable and which gives
| much more power to the gal-
J ion than gasoline does, besides
costing very much less. Young
men of a mechanical turn of
mind ought to begin to learn
all about Diesel engines. They
will have plenty of chance to
use their knowledge. .
EDUCATION . . . Danes
The more I talk with young
men and young women who
are just getting through high
school or college, the more I
pity the victims of the mod-
em American system of educ-
ation.
For we have set up a
scheme of keeping children in
school until they are too old to
learn anything fundamental-
ly new about the ways of the
world and how things are
done. The education they get
is given them by professional'
educators, who do not know,
any trade or business but'
teaching, and
theories of business and gov-
ernment in which they have
no practical experience.
The best-governed and best-
educated nation in the world
is Denmark. There children
start to learn a trade at 14,
but they are taught In school
to read the best literature and
to think. The result is that
every Dane is educated, in the
real sense of understanding
how people act and think and
how the work of the world is
done. Danes huy and read
more books than any other
people.
the students get out of school
or college tends to make teach-
ers of them, in turn
CHILDREN . . . tolerance
As a I grow older I am more
strongly convinced that the
old preach too much to the
young. Most of us oldsters
are so sure that we know all
about the way of life and how
to live it that we think we owe
it to our children to lecture
them about things which do
not seem wrong to the childish
mind.
j Nothing is more pitiful, to
most of what; me, than to see a child or a
class of children wriggling
impatiently while a teacher or
a parent tries to impress them
There are too many school with truths which everyone
teachers trying to run public should know but for which
affairs, giving advice based on most children are not ready
INTOLERANCE . . growth
I The wide-spread anti-Jew-
ish feeling is a new thing since
my boyhood. I had Jewish
boys and girls as schoolmates,
and I cannot remember that
any of them were ever regard-
ed as being different from us
Christian youngsters.
My father was a Christian
minister. His truest friend in
every sense of the word was a
Jewish merchant I remember
my father saying once that
this old-clothes dealer was the
most honorable man he had
ever known. I think that had
something to do with keeping
me from ever sharing the ridi-
cule of Jews which I heard
later in life.
That tolerance of my father
for the beliefs, customs and
point of view of everybody
else, whether he shared it or
not, has made me all my life
impatient with people who go
about proclaiming their per-
sonal superiority to others
who happen to belong to a dif-
ferent religion. It also makes
me certain that the greatest
danger to the world is the
teaching cf racial superiority
as a rational doctrine.
CHARACTER . . . superiority
After all’s said and done,
nothing counts in this life but
personal character. No rase
and no religion has a mono-
poly on character.
I sat at a dinner not long
ago at which the host was a
Chinese, as were three of the
other guests. There was an
Irishman, an Italian and a
Dane at the table, besides my
own American-English self.
The talk ran, naturally, on
the Japanese invasion of
China. Several of us express-
ed a poor opinion of the Jap-
anese character. Then my
Chinese host spoke.
"We of China do not judge *
a man,by his race but by bis'
personal character,” he said.
“The great K’ung Fu-tse,
whom you call Confucius,
taught us that there are but
two kinds of people, the su-
perior men and the inferior
men, and that we should try to
be superior men. The
man is the man of character,
whether he is Japanese, Chi-
nese or European^ There are
superior and inferior men ev-
erywhere. Some day the su-
perior men of Japan will re- 1
gain control of their country
and we shall have no more
war.”

The Beat Place to Live
Compared with any other
country on the face of the
globe the United States is the
best place to live.
For instance, in the matter
of automobiles, France shows
one car to 25 persons, Eng-
land shows one to 25, Germany
one to 55, Italy one to 109, and
the United States one to every
five persons.
We in this country own 60
per cent of the telephones in
the world.
We own 44 per cent of the
radios.
We have twice as many
homes per thousand of popu-
lation as compared to the most
cultured countries in the
world.
The amount of insurance we
have in force in our country is
doable that of the rest of the
world.
With only 6 per cent of the
world's area and only 7 per
cent of its population we con-
sume 43 per cent of the world’s
coffee, 53 per cent of its tin, 56
per cent of its rubber, 21 per
cent of its sugar, 72 per cent of
its silk, 36 per cent of its coal,
42 per cent of its pig iron, 47
per cent of its copper and 70
per cent cf its petroleum.
These facts and figures
argue more strongly for the
American System than the elo-
quence of the most silver-ton-
gued Fourth-of-July orator!—
The Silver Lining.
