. Speaking on the subject of "Broad

Tracks and Narrow Tracks," Dr. Elmer Bryan, president of Colgate College, asked the members of the Wayne County Teachers' institute: "In the light of the present Industrial and social situations -what should be the characer of he educational opportunities extended to our children?" in hia address Friday mornlner. V, 'The very recent differatlatlon of our social and industrial conditions makes this question a comparatively new one and an immensely important one, the speaker pointed out. "While forty years ago a man did so many different things in his daily tasks that he would have had to start early in the morning in order to get through telling you them by night, the average man today does specific things. "We live in a world of specialization, and in the light of the prosperity of our sons and daughters who some day will have to do something of this sort, we should consider the character of the educational opportunities which we are going to give them." Specialization is not only tremendously evident in the world of industry, but in colleges and universities, in every line of teaching, Dr. Bryan pointed out, the specialist is wanted now instead of the general teacher or instructor in a broad department. "I maintain that in this change Jhi our affairs we have gained," said Bryan. "Never has thero been a time even in the face of industrial distress when things have been so well done, nor when so large a percentage of people have said, 'This thing I do.' " "How long can we keep it up? Will we have to revert? I do not known, ' but I do not think so. I live in a house with all the modern inconveniences, and I feel that as it is best, for never was a time when so many people put their hands to the plow of life.

The foundations of human society aro intelligence and faith. I do not pay intelligence alone, for I have known some of the worse rakes and skinners to be intelligent; nor do I say faith, for there are a good many bull-headed faithful ones, but I say intelligent faithfulness. Until society docs rest on this basis, society goes to hell!" JUDGE IN FAVOR OF LAWS TO CURB PROFITEER RENT That, rents are a r:rt of the neccs-j eary living expenses and shou!d be in eluded in any legislative measure de- j bigned to prevent profiteering, wa-. ; the opinion expressed by Judge Bond. ! of the Wayne circuit court Friday morning, in discussing the resolution recently introduced in congress by j Ben Johnson, a representative from! Kentucky, Johnson's resolution pro- j vides a fine and imprisonment for violations of the proposed rent law. j ."There are three great, necessities ' of life," Judge Bond paid, "these are j food, clothing and shelter. Rents aro : necessary to provide shelter, and aro i

just essential to living as either of the other two. I am heartily in favor of any measure which would preveat j j. tho unfair charges for renta'.s."

It would be u comparatively easy: matter to make a rent adjustment, ac cording to the judge. "By determining the value of th' home, allowing a certain amount for upkeep and for a depreciation tur.d, and then fixing the rent so as to give the owners a rearonuble profit, exorbitant rents could be reduced," the Judge declared. , Strike Ties Up Street Car Service in Peoria TEORIA, 111., Aug. 28. A partial tieup of street car service through the heart of the ciiy attended the opening this morning of a three-day general strike, called for . o'clock a. m., by Insurgent l;:bor leaders. Refusal of th Federation of L e accredited American ! abor representatives to countenance tho strike kept the ma-, jority of workmen' on the job today, j The general strike committee sent flying squadrons to all the factories of the city early this morning and the i Avery Manufacturing company and other largo plants were reported to be j preparing to close down. j FRENCH HUCKSTERS JOIN ! ORGANIZED LABOR RANKS ! (By Assortnteil Prosfi j PARIS, Aug. 2S. The "camelots" or ; itinerant hucksters of France, have Joined the ranks of arganlzed labor. i Their union just organized will apply for affiliation with the Federation : ' of Labor. The members of this union! being their own bosses there is no ' danger of their going on strike. Feed Eyes, Not Stomach, Pay in H.C.L., Say Millers , (Py Associated Press CHICAGO, Aug. 2S. To a considerable extent, feeding the eyes of the j stomach is responsible for the high j cost of living, according to authorities , here in the milling and grain trade. They cite the fact that rye flour is -j $2.55 a barrel cheaper than white j flour although, except for looks, the rye flour is equally good or better as food. Unusual cheapness of rye flour at this time is ascribed to two causes ' the stoppage of whiskey distilling and j the substitution of white bread for ; rye bread by thousands of working-! men, who. until the era of high wages, j used rye bread as a rule. Steamship is Towed to Shore After Collision NEW YORK, Aug. 29. The steamer Munaires of the Munson steamship line, which was in collsion last n'ght with the steamer Hortensius In Am brose channel, was towed to an anch orage In Red Hook Flats early todays After picking up 2z or tne ;uunalres' crew the Hortensius proceeded to Quarantine.

(Horatio N. Drury, in New York Sun) Modern business has begun to awalien to the commercial importance of good English. It is pretty, generally conceded nowadays that advertisements, letters, pamphlets, bulletins and descriptive circulars which are expressed in correct, simple, clear-cut English make no small contribution to the maintenance and upbuilding of good will the greatest single asset that any kind of commercial enterprise can accumulate. dany progressive concerns are therefore taking steps to improve the quality of the English used in all writen communications bearing their imprint. In several organizations classes in -English are being held for selected groups of employes on company time at company cost. Other firms are trying to accomplish the same result by making co-operative arrangements with schools and colleges of established reputation. Still other concerns are relying on the controlling counsel of a supervisor of correspondence, whose function it is to point out errors, in the use of English and suggest better ways of expressing the same thought. And there is usually executive pressure, which finds expression in one way or another, to help the good work along. All this is a3 it should be, for the need of instruction in English is clearly very great, despite the effective teaching which is being done in most of our rchools and colleges. Psychology of " You." It follows that the pronouns "you" and "your" should be used oftener than the pronouns "I," "my," "me," "we," "our," and "us." The "you" point of view, if it sincerely pervades the written communication as a whole, helps to maintain a friendly interest in the problems and needs of tho reader. Another matter which now presents itself for comment is that of correctness, grammatical and rhetorical correctness the mechanics of expression. It is astonishing how widespread is the need for training in phases of English which we like to believe are adequately taught in grammar' school, to say nothing about high school and college. To recapitulate altogether a too large -proportion of business men and women (whatever their previous academic training) apparently have yet to learn that logical thinking,

! sound psychology. correctness of ex- ! pression and simplicity of style are j exceedingly important aspects ot . ' good English ; and good English is' j now and Avill continue to be good business. SENATORS ASK THAT LUDENDORFF STORY E SUPPRESSED (By Assocttited Press) WASHINGTON. Aug. 29 American newspapers were appealed to today by Senalor Chamberlain, Democrat, of Oregon, not to publish the story of the war written by General Ludendorff, quartermaster general of tho German army. Senator Chamberlain told the senate that several newspapers had announced that they would publish it. "I hope the newspapers," he said, "will without any act of congress dodine absolutely to print this story of the German general, largely responsible for tho kind of warfare conducted by Germany." "I, too, trust. It will not be done," interjected Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts. Longshoremen in Genoa, Italy, struck successfully for a day wage rate of $G.50. VSj S3
