ESOR

CHANNING POLLOCK speaks of a man who admits “there are two sides to every question— his own side and the wrong side. Another author says there are always three sides to every question —your side, the other fellow’s side and the right side. He maintains it is only when you admit this as a solid fact that you really do straight thinking. Perfectly true: -.

» 2 a A GERMAN psychologist maintains that the universal desire

of every human being to create something by his own powers, is not

because the child is something given and the mother

NO IA mg shape out of formless material. She therefore craves other outside opportunities for making, creating and building and is discouraged with-

out them. The author thinks men |

and women must in the future work togéther with equal opportunities for creative achievements.

‘ » » 2 3 I HAVE discussed this question from many angles, but a new study is reported (new studies of this question will always be reported) by Prof. J. L. Gray, London economist, who says, “The theory (that the ‘upper’ classes have more

uracy,

‘lower’ | |

graded in intelligence according to social classes, and environment plays a more important part than heredity in fixing a man’s abilities.” The professor concludes, “Blood won’t tell, but class often will.” I think there are a few holes in the professor's argument but then he

‘| has a lot of evidence on his side.

Next—Are men as much afraid of what their neighbors say as. are women? !

COMMON ERRORS

Never say, “It says in the notice to punch the time-clock after putting on your overalls”; say, “The ‘notice says to punch the time-clock after putting on your overalls.” es

A teacher may call his pupils nincompoops, nit-wits, or dizzy-headed janes if the names are intended as a kindly reprimand. . . . However, a teacher ought to dignify the profession by the use of good English. —Dr, C. H. Elliott, New Jersey Education Commissioner.

Or if you have followed the fortunes of the Cincinnati Symphony Orche'stra in the last two-sgore years, it shouldn’t surprise: you to know

Mr. Kohlmann is 75 and Mz: Niles, his pupil, is abeut 20.

Won National Honor

Bien Niles came to the local music sctiool from Rushville in the fall of 19:4, after winning second place in

thr: national high school solo con- |

tesis on trombone and baritone hain for two syccessive years. He stiidied with Seth Cary, first trombo 12 of the Indianapolis Symphony. ard also a Kohlmann pupil. At the eri of .the year Mr. Cary fi

the time he was Mr. Niles’ age, was playing under. the direction of such noted figures as von: Buelow and Liszt. He cane to Cincinnati years ago, ‘joined . the Cincinnati Symphony. 10 years later and- has been on the roster ever since. Recovered From Injury Last winter he was struck down and seriously injured by a, hit-and-run driver, . But he’s back at his accustomed place again this season, good as ever. hee Meanwhile Mr. Niles is getting some symphonic experience himself.

| premiered last week will be heard"

for the second time tonight, each

premiere giving promise of good ‘ - -

things to come. Alexander Waolléott, after one stormy season on a spon-

sored network show, left the air =

“permanently,” but is back in a

casual new offering (WFBM at 6:30"

o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday),

which on opening night consisted chiefly of a review of the past year’s outstanding events. : To prove how little we know of

the future, Mr. Wollcott told in ‘his

"| best story of an editorial he found * - I'in the London Times of June 20,

1896, in which the editor wrote that

"| nothing had happened "the day | previous which might effect the em-

pire. But how, Woollcott asked,

was the editor to know that in the .

United States a baby. daugliter,

‘Wallis, had been botn to the War- =

fields of Baltimore? : # ® on - Preparation of the Woollcott sketches -is not as casual as listeners might believe after hearing the “Town Crier.”

Some 24 ©

hours of fretting and hard work’ ° go into the writing of each 15-" - °

‘minute script, his manager con-’ fides, and right up to broadcast °

time Woollcott continues to make °° changes, inserting words and re="" °

writing sentences or paragraphs.:. 7.

At the microphone, his hands: tremble and he apparently is very ~ nervous. Through the loudspeak-~ er, though, he .sounds informal

gang will include Arlene Harris, the

‘young harmonica -genius, and Vir=_ _°

“Human Chatterbox” - whose skit .

was best of the opening show’s acts;

Tizzie Lish, who returns after a brief illness, and Elmer Blurp, the

bewildered salesman (Al, himself, of course). ? Sa

Given time, Pearce et.al. may be

able to fill the rather large shoes willed him by Fred Waring. . ” = EJ
