GOLDINO, New York Ethical Socle I FTnl11 underlying atraln of pessimism in modern lift II ihadow of its interrogation mark athwart our path. I II ai well aa in the Old world, it finds utterance in a au notable writers. Poe, Mark Twain, Henry Adams, Jacl Edgar Lee Masters, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis--, Sherwood rem and Eugene O'Neill express in varying degreea a somber JL spiritual frustration. ' V. During the last few weeks an epidemic of suicide among the youV bis redirected attention to thia undercurrent of despair Disquieting evidence of widespread nervous instability is revealed by the statistics of mental disease. Insanity is growing at t rats greatly I exceeding that of the increase of population. 1 Symptomatic also, is a prevalent cynicism, 'which flouts ideals, de-- 1 rides marriage, decries those concerned for progress and is skeptical of J tb deeper emotions. The yearning of those distracted souls who seek I refuge from themselves in Oriental mysticism evidences the malaise of I I ear time. And is not the forced not of our very optimism revealing I I specially the religious optimism that seeks to blind the sufferers to their 1 1 ills by denying the reality of pain and evil ? , , It The present wave of pessimism can only be attributed to the current I trend of philosophy and psychology, and to neglect of spiritual qualities J ja a quest or material things.

Bert Haloes, new bd com oaalonT--v He shoulvW all the running be-- actual! pitching pitch. He should do thia Vtt,. get till leg Inte condition. The reaaon ao many games are tost In the eighth or ninth Innlnga Is be-cause the pitchers' legs are not In shape. Mitchell also says that pitcher waste too much energy. They work too slowly. The pitcher walka out of the box, goes behind the box, takes the catch-er's signal, then returns to the box. He walks over the Infield, following the ball where It la thrown, strolla half way to the catcher after each pitch, then back to the box. This useless walking tends to sap the eaergy of the pitcher and waste time. College games are rarely played In leas than three hours. One hour or more Is used In wasting energy. College pitchers, says Mitchell, waste too many balls. They pitch too many to each batter. This Is due to Inexperience and their failure to study the batters. They do not know what to pitch ; they, try-- all kinds. - Mitchell then telle the collegians that there are four kinds of batters. There- - the kind that prefer the-ba-ll on th outside- - and the. kind that likes-t-o bare the ball-pitch- on the Inside. Then there Is the class that goes after low balls-an- d the type that always chops. He tells the collegians how to destgJ nate each batter and bow to pitch toj his weakness. - AH of which Is true. But why cofi. fine It to college pitchers? Many Jo-J- ot league pitchers would well fftetlt by the advice Mitchell gives, Frlte H. O. Salslnger Jn the DetnUuSfews. They, too, waste too much energy ; at least many of them do. Also, there are numbers In the big league who fall to study the batter properly and who waste balls trying to find out what he might Ignore, always hoping to pitch the ball past the man at bat .'

Representative government is on the defensive throughout ths world, and can endure in the United States only if put on a scientific basis. ' ' , " The need of reorganising the federal government is generally rec-ognized, ard the last five Presidents have recommended such reorganiz-ation. As the first step, creation of permanent undersecretaries in all de--' partments, who would carry on ths work of government, regardless of po-litical administration, ia necessary. We would be blind if we did not recognize the fact that an assault is being msde upon representative government all along the line. We as-sume that whatever may happen to other nations we are secure.

Propaganda of Proponents of Child Labor By MISS GRACE ABBOTT, U. S. Department of Labor. When manufacturers' associations and other big business organiza-tions could not find another reason for opposing child labor laws they spread the idea that poor boya and girls should not be cent to school past the lower grades. ' This propaganda has convinced many parents that they are their children. Back of this opposition is the desire of the manufacturers and big business men to get poor boys and girls into their kitchens and factories. They always evade the issue. They never plead 'industry's cause. If th$ child labor measure is a national bill they stick up for state rights. If it is a proposed state law they base their opposition J on the contention that-th- rights of communities would be outraged.

Personal Interest and Good Example Best Aid for the Future Generation By DR. EDWARD FITZPATRICK, Dean Marquette University No progress has ever been made in any field nor can it be made in work with boys and girls until there is "somebody who cares." Personal interest must be taken in ths boy and girl and the approach must be sjg skillfully made. It is also well to remember the imitativeness of boys and girls and hence the necessity of good examples. Great value lies in studying the child as an individual, not as a member of a gronp, in order that the true child may be properly nnder-- stood. The greatest thing that can be done for the child is to discover his particular bent, whether it be dramatics, music or drafting. After all, the rounded development is mors or less mythical and everyone has tome particular aptitudes and aspirations. |
