In this manner, it is hoped to iron out many difficulties seen to exist in the bill, before it is brought to a vote in the House and passed, on to the Senate for adoption by that body.

EDUCATION 45 AID TOLITERARY TASTE Prol. Moseley Explains How Liking Can Be Developed Professor Nicholas Moseley, pro- vost of Albertus Magnus college in New Haven, spoke at the regular meeting of the New Britain council of Catholic Women in the Knights of Columbus hall, last evening, on *The Development of Literary Taste Through Education.” He said in part: “All education has three functions; first, to teach people why they are alive; second, to teach them how to Nive; and third, to teach them to en- joy life, The first of these consists in instilling a sound philosophy of life upon which men and women of all ages may base their religion, and the recognition and fulfillment of Catholic colleges have for Catholics. The second might be described as vo- cational training, in which one should include the general develop- ment of mind and body so as to produce material success. The last can be described as the development of resources for rest and recreation. 1t is the last with which we are con- cerned tonight. “The great recreation open to the added protection for necticut's foremost industries. Congressman Glynn will urge an increased tarift on upholstery nails, drills, other edged and other hardware, vitally affecte competitive country of foreign hardware, Metal buttons for uniforms and other purposes, which have flodded the United States from Czechoslovakia, also will be brought forcefully to the attention of the committee by the Connect- chisels, by the icut congreasman. Congressman Merritt upon the retemtion of wire netting in the “basket clause” .of the new bill, which provides for an increasc of 100 per cent over the present tariff. Under the bill”s provisions, the tariff of 50 per cent ad valorem one of Con- sale in in recent years will insist provided. may be increased by the president to as much as 75 per cent. Some importers, however, have brought suit to take the wire net- ting out of the basket clause and make it dutikble at 25 per cent ad valorem, and the president's power to iacrease ‘would be limited to at 37 1.8 per cent ad valorem, or less than provided by the bill.

Whether what one reads is a help in life, or a hin- drance, depends almost entirely upon the development of one's literary taste. Education can develop lit- erary taste in several ways; first of all, the content of school and college course is 50 designed as to put be- fore young people in their plastic age examples of the very best, with the knowledge that people are in- clined to like that which they know. In the second place, by analysis, a teacher can train his students in the elements which go to make up beauty and in the technique of style. Knowledge of these forms adds a real interest to reading. This can perhaps be made clearer by taking a figure from another fleld. Most peo- ple like a football game. They see in it a spectacle of a great crowd, and the keen rivalry for victoyy te- tween two teams. A person, how- ever, who has a technical knewledge of football not only sees the &p ctacle with all of its color, and shares in the excitement, but he likewise gets a definite pleasure from watching the maneuvers of each player, and the greater his knowledge the greater his pleasure. In tWe same way, the great majority of people like to read » novel.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY RAL!J the story, he has’an intellectual ap- preciation of development in the plot and of the beauty of the language.” “The cultivation of taste becomes more important when one leaves the field of fiction and enters those of poetry and the estay. The un- trained person usually has little lik- ing for poetry and does not read poems unless they are very emotion- al or very funny, and does not read essays unless they are simply funny. Yet, once a person has been.taughi to realize the pleasure which comes from a contemplation of beauty either in poems or essays, and the more subtle but keener pleasure which comes from the stimulus to intelligence of good descriptive writ- ing, he is inclined to find all but the best fiction tame. “One further advantage of educa- tion in relation to literature, is that the mind by exercise is trained to grasp abstragt thought and profit from it. This is in itself one of the great goals of study, and it brings with it many re moral and material. It allows o to profit quickly and pleasantly from he work others have done in his be- | half, and in his turn to work for the benefit of others. “Finally, education, both on ac- count of the fact that it cultivates taste and because it gives the stu- dent & knowledge of what has been done, opens up the great storehouse of knowledge and beauty contained in the books of the past. This allows one to share the pleasures of the greatest minds of all tim most as important, to use knowledge for building for future.” Boston Woman Divorced From Court in Paris Paris May 16 (#)—A divorce de- cree has been granted to the Coun- tess Pierre De Jumilhae, the former Constance Coolidge, Boston heiress, Infidelity was alleged, but no corres. pondent named.

It is to be developed as quickly as na- tional conditions permit, taking perhaps five to 10 years for realiza- tion. Expenses are to be borne by the government, The first step in the campaign will be the formation next Monday of a national committee on temper- ance. It is to be headed by the sec- retary of public health and contain- ing representatives of all classes in- terested in public welfare, This national committee will have charge of the government's tempel ance activities, having as its even- tual object prohibition of all alco- holic beverages except beer and wine, and public sale of th even to be denied to women and children. A probable first step of the commit- tee will. be promulgation of regula- tions permitting sale of hard liquors only in sealed bottles to be consumed other than where purchased. Listed as *“hard” liquors are whis- key, gin and absinthe. Pulque, the drink most popular among Mexico's poor, was not mentioned in the president’s announcement. The government will make every eftort to aid in the adaptation of breweries and distilleries to other pursuits. Other phases of the cam- paign include compulsory classes in Mexican achools in which the al- leged evils of the drink habit will be taught, & system of reducing in number dance halls and cabarets, and providing sports activities to develop healthy physiques less like- ly, it is claimed, to demand alcohol as a stimulant. 4y | l l It is the president’s contention that prohibition will be best achieved in Mexico by accustoming the Mexi- can people to it little by little. While his views on liquor have been made known- heretofore they have had the aspect of temperance, rather than prohibition. For this reason his an- nouncement late yesterday of’'a pol- icy contemplating prohibition caused considerable surprise. Pope Denies That State Should Give Education Vatican City, May 16 (®—Educa- tion of the young is the responsi- bility of the church, and not of the state, Pope Pius declared in a speech to the pupils of Mondragone college, which the Osservatore Romano pub- lished last evening. This pronouncement from the pontiff is seemingly at variance with the doctrine of fascism at hitherto expressed. All the state has to do in the line of education is to complete the in- fluence of parents, said the pope. He affirmed that he did not intend to relinquish the church’s *precious charge held for centuries” of juve- nile upbringing. Mondragone college is a religious institution near Frascati in the en- virons of Rome. His holiness expressed the same sentiments in another audience to- day with the pupils of the Tavania school of Venice. ‘WROTE YALE SONG New York, May 16 (UP)—Dr. Henry Strong Durand, Rochester, Y., physician, and author of le university's famous song, right College Years,” died in Paris on May 8, according to word received here, Concrete streets pay dividends Every dollar spent for concrete street pavements is a sound investment in Freedom from traffic congestion Enhancement of property values Permanent civic beauty Ridi P Safety This_investment continues ® pay dividends long after the first cost is forgotten PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION 347 NEW Y oA Avenue CITY ration to Improve and Extend the Uses of Concrate OFFICES IN 32 CITIRS PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE FOR PERMANENCE SPORTSMEN!
