SIMPLIFED SPELLING The effort is being made to enlist the hews- papers. in the campaign fvr simplified _ spelling promoted by the Simplified Spelling board of the Men’s Faculty club of Columbia university. It is argued that newspapers would save two per cent of their space if they would adopt the spelling favored by this board, About 600 American newspapers and maga- zines have accepted a certain number of spellings advocated by this board, and the total number of words which according to these people should be spelled, in a simpler way is 30,000. This calls for ® rather radical change in our spelling habits. Peo- ple cling to the old spellings they learned in youth, but most of these changes will no doubt be gradual- ly adopted. “THE CRIMINAL TWO PER CENT (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) Associated criminologists, after 40,000 tests, have arrived at the generalization that 2 per cent of the people commit 90 per cent of the crimes. Such « conclusion carries the corollary that it is possible to ascertain within reasonable limits wheth- er or qot an individual belongs to the criminal 2 per cert without waiting for him to show it by committing a crime. We are not yet ready for it, but some day so- cial knowledge will make it a rule to isolate poten- tial criminals befure they become actual criminals. produce criminality, eventually: will dispose of the problem. nesses, and more are expectéd to follow. | There is no doubt whatever as to his } in all the antics of their legal sports; | court would dispose of that case quic AMERICA AT THE POLE There is still a good deal left of the old spirit | of adventure and discovery that opened up our wonderful country. In 1909 Robert E. Peary, ter repeated explorations in the Arctic region, in af- which he encountered great hardships and suffer- | ing, succeeded in reaching the North Pole, and | now again this spirit of adventure is repeated in Lieut. Commander Byrd and Pilot Lloyd Bennett, who have flown at great hazard over these wild and desolate territories, finally reaching the Pole, where storm and perilawait the daring explorer. It is man’s determination that not one square mile of the earth’s surface shall be left uncon- | quered and unexplored. Even if nature has estab- | lished the most frightful obstacles in the way, it is man’s purpose to subdue it all, and obtain what- ever benefits and resources can be had from all | It is too early to | portions of the earth’s surface. say that all this territory is a worthless desert waste of ice. ‘There may be secrets there which will be of benefit to the race. Meanwhile such an exploit teaches young men that there are great honors and possibly large re- | wards offered to those who endeavor to extend hu- man knowledge. Not many of them will go in for polar exploration, but in many little known coun- tries and in scientific investigation, there is abund- ant field as yet for the exploring spirit. great secrets of incalculable value to be discover- ed. Many of these seekers will money reward out of their labors, but they have the honor of the world as pioneers in the great search for truth. The same spirit that has carried not get much these daring aviators to the top of the world, will | carry many of our American boys into the utmost wilds of the earth’s surface, and into the most per- plexng mysteries and baffling enigmas of the scientific and spiritual world. INTEREST IN CURRENT EVENTS The American people are solemnly told that they must fit themselves for citizenship by study- ing current events, but frequently no practical plan is offered by which young people can be in- duced to form the habit of acquiring this essential kind of information. The Brooklyn Eagle has developed a plan for inspiring school pupils with 4 desire for such in- telligence, ‘through a current events bee, not un- like the spelling bees that made the old timers such correct spellers. has provided for such competitions among the school pupils of its own city, in which the contest- ants are asked questions regarding events and per- sonalities of the present time. Those who fail to answer correctly have to retire from the contest, after the old spelling match plan. At the finals of the last bee a few nights ago, 1600 people crowded into the auditorium, and showed the same enthusiasm you would expect at a football game. Winning a contest in such an atmosphere might seem as desirable fo those young- sters as making a home run or carrying the ball over the goal line. The contestants answered up so well, that for the first time the long list of 350 questions gave out, and they were not easier than former]; Here are a few typical queries from this list, which would floor some of our wise men: four nations that hold Council of the League of Nations?”, “Who recently resigned as president of the Irish’ Republican party?”, “How many years. have the nations owing “Name temporary seats in the us money been given to pay off?”, “Why was the Painleve government defeated?”, “Name. the, two members of the Little Entente whd funded \heir debts to the United States last year.” Some of our wise men could not answer ques- tions like these, and young people thus trained for rewspaper reading should make real voters in a few years.
