Bert Haines, Dew head oos Strain of Pessimism in Modern Life C; .., stance Greatly to Be Deplored By HENRY J. G0LDING, New York Kthical Socie underlying strain of pessimism in modern lifA THE of its interrogation mark athwart our path. 1 well as in the Old world, it finds utterance in a si notable writers. Poe, Mark Twain, Henry Adams, Jacj Edgar Lee Masters, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, SherwooJ Bon and Eugene O'Neill express in varying degrees a somber spiritual frustration. " IHiring the last few weeks an epidemic of suicide among the your has redirected attention to this undercurrent of despair Disquieting evidence of widespread nervous instability is revealed by the statistics of mental disease. Insanity is growing at a rate greatly exceeding that of the increase of population. Symptomatic also is a prevalent cynicism, which flouts ideals, de-- rides marriage, decries those concerned for progress and is skeptical of the deeper emotions. The yearning of those distracted souls who seek refuge from themselves in Oriental mysticism evidences the malaise of our time. And is not the forced note of our very optimism revealing specially the religious optimism that seeks to blind the sufferers to their ills by denying the reality of pain and evil ? The present wave of pessimism can only be attributed to the current trend of philosophy and psychology, and to neglect of spiritual qualities in & quest for material things. ije"uo-vjeiit.!- J 'Son " " "Daddy, I have splendid news for you.

He should dp this rlfrrf.Tw.. m get his legs Into condition. The reason so many games are lost In the eighth or ninth innings Is be-cause the pitchers' legs are not In shape. Mitchell also says that pitchers waste too much energy. They work too slowly. The pitcher walks 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 is thrown, strolls half way to the catcher after each pitch, then back to the box. This useless walking tends to sap the energy of the pitcher and wastes time. College games are rarely played In less 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 tells the collegians that there are four kinds of batters. There Is the. kind that prefers the ball on the: outside and the. ktad that llkes-.t-o have the 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 deslg-- J nate each batter and how to pitch to his weakness. t" All of which is true. But why con-fine It to college pitchers? Many ma-jor league pitchers would well profit by the advice Mitchell gives, rites H. G. Salslnger In the Detroit 'Jew5. They, too, waste too muclf 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 the world, and can endure in the United States only if put on a scientific basis. The need of reorganizing the federal government is generally rec-ognized, and 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 the work of government, regardless of po-litical administration, is necessary. We would be blind if we did not recognize the fact that an assault is being made upon representative government all along the line. We as-sume that whatever may happen to other nations we are secure.

He puts a dime on the top of each hurdle he has to clear In practice, and then brushes them off with his foot as he goes over. He says this stunt aids him in getting Just the right height la clearing the hurdle without using, any unnecessary action of a hurdler who tuxows his legs too high. In a short tine the public may be agreed on at least one point: That "Babe" Ruth Is the greatest living American,- Max Malone, right-hande- d pitcher, formerly with Springfield of the Western association, has been signed by St. Joseph. The Fort Smith club of the Western association has signed Frank Babuse, husky young outfielder from the Kan-sas City semi-pr- o ranks. Spring Is well advanced, at least Tex Rlckard again has attempted to buy the Giants. Mr. Cohan is getting rather old for that task. Jimmy White, a Tampa high school athletic star, has signed with the Tampa team of the Florida State league. He Is an tnfielder. Russell Ford, whose "emery ball" used to puzzle batters In the Amer-ican league, Is now a prosperous g citizen of Rockingham, N. C. John McGraw Is depending on Jack Cummings and A!

The woman has no such past and therefore is unafraid. A New York woman is the only one of her sex in the world em-ployed as a steel window estimator. Another New York woman is a suc-cessful dealer in oil and oil products; and a woman has made a success of brokerage, a business that has broken many men. Feminine characteristics put to work in the business world have in a whole new field of opportunity. This goes under' the general name of "home economics in business." Big Business has found that the well-kno- "woman's viewpoint" is an invaluable asset to the promotion of what they have to sell. It is as a means of conserving and developing woman's own contri-bntio- n to business and helping her to discard those characteristics which stand in her own way and in the way of general progress that the Amer-ican Woman's association conceived nd is carrying through the building " of a great modern New York clubhouse.

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 boys and girls should not be sent 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 the child labor measure is a national bill they stick up for state rights. If it is a proposed state law they base their opposition on the contention that the 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 the boy and girl and the approach must be 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 group, 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 f.rjniliir bent, whether it be dramatics, music or drafting. After all, the rounded development is more or less mythical and everyons hag som particular aptitudes and aspirations. |
