Now, contemplation, there is found uch frankness in the afore- ned bit or morsel. In fact, it Hs with. wisdom, especially the hrt of it. So much so do we the veracity of the assertion ‘‘he beaks the truth must have wings h of feet” that there are very f us given to expressing our- as we really feel we should.

Given such subjects to treat as ‘‘Safety First,” “The Protec- ticn of Life and Limb,” ““How to Keep Safe on the Streets and Roads,” the young minds of children cannot help but profit by dwelling on such thoughts. = Parents should see that their children take an interest in this contest if for no other reason than that the little ones learn to take care of themselves while on the way to home in the afternoon. The prizes set up, we understand, are worthy of effort and, while every one cannot win a prize, they will have gotten more than material value out of this great lesson in personal safety if they learn the ingredients of behavior on the public thoroughfares. HOOPER UP, With Hooper up in the ninth here- after it will be a signal to “Whoop her up.” For, when Hooper clutches his mighty war club and steps forth to do battle as did the warriors of old there is bound to be bloodshed, sure to be worlds sent topsy-turvyv- ing throughout the firmaments, sure to be championships decided. Whoop- er her up then for Hooper upon whose brow hangs the laurel wreath. For, if Duffy Lewis, that gallant young slugger, will but step aside for a moment, there is no one in the United States today but will affirm it was Hooper’s home run in the ninth inning of that fateful and fitful strug- gle yesterday which brought home the bacon and beans to Boston and left poor old Philadelphia in the van with only the hope that in 1916 with Bryan and the others it might still have another chance at the polls, or poles. Because of that terrific wal- lop in the ninth, that clash of bat and ball, that winging of an immacu- late spheroid through the etherial re- gions to parts unknown, we are left today without the joy and thrill that comes to those who dangle on the end of a wire to await the returns. It is all over. A spirit of depression hangs over those who pinned their faith on the stalwart athletes led by the old Roman, Patricius Moran, a smile of joy permeates the very at- mosphere that surrounds those who lent their moral support to the Clan Carrigan. There is joy in the land governed by “Honey Fitz,” there is gloom in the camp of that staid old warrior Blankenberg. Yet, withal, it was a gallant defeat, an admirable victory. Harking back to the days of poor old Ed. Delehanty and the other masters of swat no one could have joyed in more home runs than marked the close of the series of 1915. The games were all decided by such slen- der margins, the teams proved so well matched, the pitching so even, it in- deed took home runs to decide the championship. And foreseeing that home runs and such were needed to defeat the warriors from Father Penn’s city, the Honorable Mr. Car- rigan had his heavy artillery well pre- pared. Thus do we see the value of looking ahead. Emotion And Disease, (Waterbury Democrat.) Dr. Crile, a distinguished Cleveland surgeon who has been spending sev- eral months in the French army hos- pitals, reports to the New York Aca- demy of Medicine that the mere emo- tional strain of war is found to be responsible not merely for nervous disorders, but for great numbers of cases of neurasthenia, Bright's dis- ease and diabetes. It is something new to be told categorically that dis- agreeable emotions may cause or- ganic diseases. The new thought teachers, not to mention the Chris- tian Scientists, have been teaching this very thing for years, but the medical profession has heretofore gives little sanction to the doctrine. The general public has long had more or less definitely this same no- tion that a patient’s feelings have a great deal to do with his health. And as a matter of fact, the doctors have, too, even when they repudiated the idea. The wise and successful practitioner has usually been a man who studied his patients’ psychology as well as their physique, and saw to it that conditions causing mental unrest were removed as far as pos- sible. They have practiced, too, in their own persons, the ‘mental heal- ing” that they have felt obliged to repudiate professionally. If the frank admissions of some of them are to be trusted, they have worked far more cures by dispensing cheerfulness and confidence than by administering drugs or prescribing dietetd® rules. From Dr. Crile's assertion that men- tal states cause serious ailments, it seems to be only a step to the con- clusion that opposing mental states may cure them. At least the infer- ence is unavoidable that pleasant emotions are just as wholesome in their physical effects as horrible emotions are injurious. Perhaps if the drug-dispensers and the mental healers could meet each other half way and agree on a compromise sys- tem for treating disease, it would be better for everybody concerned.

The Corn and the Canner. (Bridgeport Standard.) We consider the corn crop as some- thing peculiar to and ated with the agricultural West, although New England has repeatedly taken prizes at fairs where quality and quantity to the acre have been among the elements of the competition But there is a kind of corn that New England continues to raise and in which she is able to hold her own against all comers. That is the sweet corn that is used in canning, great quantities of which are con- sumed annually all over the country. Maine is one of the states that can corn to a great extent; and that, like her potato raising is something on which she prides herself greatly. The Maine Corn Packer's association han- dles very large amounts of canned corn and great care is taken in the work. The raising of fine qualities is encouraged by prizes and this year the association gives $2,525 for the best sweet corn raised in the season of 1916. Many of the competitors are boys who are very skilful in the business, preserving the best seed and getting the finest qualities of corn. The field corn of the West, and corn of commerce, is not fit for canning, and it is not fit for the table at any stage of its development; although some of the marketmen who supply city people sometimes seem to think that their customers do not know | the aifrerence. asso!

What Is a Professor? (Springfield Republican.) in the indictment which White draws up against Dr. Scott is that he permitted himself to be “Prof. the editor of the Ladies’ which published of his articles. Dr. responsible One charge Dr. A. William Nearing called Nearing' by Journal, a Home seri Nearing denies that he was tor the breach of academic etiquette, and attributes the mistake of the Ladies’ Home Journal to the generous distri- Lution, outside demic circles, of the title “professor’” to members of the teaching profession Dr. Nearing was an instructor, not o professor or assistant professor. This is quite plain. If the question asked why he is “Dr.” Nearing, the answer I8 that he earned by his work « a graduate student the degree of Ph. D.” and chooses to avail him- self of the title which, according to German and American usage, this de- gree bestows upon a man. With the main question go several perplexing side questions. For in- stance, if Dr. Nearing had an as- sistant or associatc profcssor, would he have been entitled to the “Prof"? When the historian, Freeman, visited thie country in 1882, and wrote a very cntertaining book ahout us, he re- marked the fondness for titles that prevailed in our democratic com- riunities. The fondness eoxtends to those academic circles, where, a cording to Dr. Nearing, usage is ve strict (Certain established professor- <hips exist in all the older institutions and many of the younger ones, and universities and colleges now create professorships in all the important subjects, so that the leading teacher of zoology or versification becomeés en- titled to the coveted designation even if there is no foundation Obviously professors are very numerous In Great Britain, where there is great fondness for titles in the social world, there is a different attitude toward professorships.

Mr. Stim- #on is entitled to be known as “Prof.” Stimson. Yet, outside “academie circles,” is he ever so designated? In the older British universities oracular professional teaching of the German sort has never been in favor, and many of the ablest scholars haye only held positions in their respective colleges as tutors or fellows. A man ie appointed to a professorship for a term of years, but an elevation to that position does not him to be called “Prof. So-and- In the, modern English universities, where they wear learning somewhat less lightly than in the ancient institutions, the practice would seem to be mere akin to that of America At all events, few subjects are without thely professorships. owadays the diss tinction between “Prof.” and plaid “Mr."” is rather acute in our school§ and colleges.
