PROPER REVERENCE FOR LAW Situation in the United States as Sec- retary of Pennsylvania's Board- of Education Sees It As a boy he attended a little gray school in the country. Then he taught a country school at the age of sixteen. | Afterward he was superintendent of ! all the country schools of Lycoming French Writer After Visit to America | { head of the State Normal school at .

He says: “There exists in New York today a thriving, powerful Jewish community. Will it remain purely Jewish, and as such increase and prosper, or will it become merged in the great hodge- “the Jewish | county. And still later he was at the he is secretary of the state board of education, alert, active on the job 23 hours and 60 minutes every day. Hence, when I get a school opinion from Dr. J. George Becht I know it is not a shoemaker’s-theory of building a cathedral, a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger observes. Listen to him: “The school must be taught a reverence for | the law. What must be the effects upon . the children of the alien when in high i schools they note the pupils strike be- podge of America? Who can tell? But | at least it is certain that the millions of Jews who have settled there are leading a free, healthy life. Their children have not the downtrodden as- pect of their parents. They speak their own language and read their Yid- dish papers openly. They dare to own that they are Jews and to show that they are proud of their Jewish birth. They know that no one dare reproach them with their religion or their race. They know that not only in New York but in the great northern states, in Idaho, in Montana, and in North Dakota, there is room and work for millions of Jews who would be welcome there. And I wonder if it may not be in this new world that the resting place of this old, wandering race is to be found; if it is not there that they can build up this new Jeru- salem, the dream of this persecuted race.” Harvard Students Who Work. Statistics show that more Harvard students have sought work while study- ing this year, and fewer of the appli- cants have found it than previously. Earnings also have totaled a smaller amount. Such facts tell their own story of the effect of the war on the non- belligerents of a comparatively pros- perous region of country. The list of callings to which the lads turn shows how versatile is the American youth, and how he puts pride behind him if he foresees profit that spells tuition bills paid. There is no such word as “degrading” in the lexicon of youth, save in a moral sense. Many a Har- vard man will take any job where either muscle or intelligence counts, If the work is not intrinsically base. So will American college youth gen- erally; and the course is made the easier for them because so imvariably. sanctioned by college and by public opinion. George's Love. Frances Starr, the popular actress, said at a June wedding in ‘Washing. ton: ’ : “The highest, purest love is unselfish —or, at least, it tries to be unselfish. “But the average love is like George's. “‘George loves you devotedly, doesn’t he? said one girl to another. “Yes, quite too devotedly,’ the other girl answered. ‘He’d rather sit in the parlor with me every evening than take me to a show.” ” cause someone has been punished or ' because a teacher has been promoted or a holiday refused? Respect for the law? Not respect for part of the law that applies to some- body in Kansas. but respect for all the law that applies to each boy and girl in Pennsylvania. “But this is a free country,” you say. Let Doctor Becht answer that: “No word is so misunderstood as liberty. A man swinging his arms violently in a crowd struck the nose of a passer- by. The injured man objected, but the other retorted, “This is a free country.’ “So it is’ was the answer, ‘but your liberty ends where my nose be- gins.’ ” They Live in Pickle Salt. Just west of promontory Point Sta- tion, Utah, is a pond cut off from the Great Salt lake by the railroad em- bankment. At times of high water in the lake this reservoir fills by percola- tion through the embankment, but dur- ing the summer thts water is concen- trated to a brine by evaporation. The deep pink color of the brine is a phe- nomenon that appears in salt ponds generally when a certain concentra- tion is reached. In the salt ponds of San Francisco bay this color is due to a certain bacillus which lives in saturated brines and also in the heaps of salt as it is piled for drainage and shipment. Prohibitive to life as such an environment might be considered, strong natural brines are, in fact, in- habited by a number of minute organ- isms—animals as well as plants. The pink color disappears in winter or when fresh water is introduced into the pond. The Southern Pacific com- pany has done some experimental work on preserving piles and railroad ties by soaking them in the pond. Just Self-Confidence. It is a varity of a sort that enables men and women to push to the front. They believe that they can do about what they please and their very faith is an aid. The devotees of new thought claim that confidence in one- self is a sure ticket to any place. “Don’t say that,” pleaded a woman who had just heard another declare her inability to talk on a subject with which she was thoroughly familiar. “Say you can talk and prove it to this club. And come to see me tomorrow and I will tell you how to increase your self-confidence.” = She kept her word with the result that the timid woman blossomed into a briiHant speaker, At present !
