candidates can pass examinations.

PROFESSOR TALKS 4
AT SERVICES
)eclares That Tragedy Of Our
Civilization Comes From Boast
ing By Races
"One of the tragedies of our p:"seut
:ivilization", according to Dr. Mor., at
he Vesper services Sunday night, - is the
,olly of whole races bragging and boast
ng like little cl+ildren of their racial su
>eriority".
Doctor Morse submitted three propo
;itions: The first i? that there is no such
hing as a pure race.- Hitler screams to
he high Heaven about the Nortic purity
>f the Germans while he himself is evi
lence of the fact that there is no such
:hing, as is shown by his black hair and t
warthy skin. Through long generations,
nigrations of tribes, wars and peaceful
penetrations for commercial purposes
have brought about conditions where at
he present time all people are an inter- t
mingling of numerous racial strains.
Doctor Morse's second proposition
was: that no race or people have a mo
nopoly of ability or vice. Every race and
ation have men of talent and morons,
genii and idiots. Each race, yellow, white
and black have men of honesty, character
and decency and run the whole range of
intellectual and spiritual race.
In spite of this fact, through;;ut human
iistory, we find whole nations shamelessly
bragging about themselves. sayilig that
they themselves are God's chosen people
while all other races are barbarians, cat
tle, and riff raff. This is the universal
attitude. The Greeks thought 'all others
were barbarians and even made it unlaw
ful to marry with other Grecian tribes;
the Jews were a people who walked and
talked with God more than any other
people. Yet in their conceit, they called
all other people Gentiles. Their racial
aloofness was so intense that they would
not even break bread with members of
another race.
This racial habit is the characteristic
of a childish mind which covers up its
own inferiority by boastfulness. We
laugh at this in children, but it is intol
erable in adults. How much more so in
races. The tragedy of the situation is
that this folly leads nations to destroy
themselves and their civilization. Nations
ought to be helping, instead of dispising
each other.
The solution of the problem, according
to Doctor Morse is for men and nations
to adopt the Christian attitude toward
each other, the attitude of brotherhood.
Jesus taught the brotherhood of men not
a figurative thing but literally. He meant
exactly what he said. The human race
should realize that they are in the same
situation as the human hand. Each finger
is different and has a different function
but all belong to the hand and have to
cooperate in order to grasp any object.
The human race should cooperate to bring
about the kingdom of God on earth.

Students Show
Little Concern
Over Social Problems
Campus Radicalism Laughed At
By Dean Of Midland
College
Chicago (ACP)-Frequent charges of
campus radicalism made throughout the
country are strikingly belied by the av
erage college student's titter unconcern
about social and economic matters, ac
cording to Dean William F. Zimmcrman
of Midland College, Fremont, Nebraska.
"The students of today are incapable of
entertaining radical ideas because of their
utter disinterest in the problems which
Communists and Socialists do all the
shouting about," Dean Zimmerman told a
group of educators here recently, adding
that it was his opinion college students
cannot even understand these problems.
Dean Zimmerman gathered data on
"spontaneous student conversations from
many campuses derived not by question
naire, but by listening in when young per
sons were unaware of being studied."
The college girl's first interest, as in
ferred from the frequency with which she
chats about it, is in the doings of her col
lege friends, while the male student gives
first place to his studies. Public affairs
attracted only seven-tenths of one per
cent of the concern of men and two-tenths
of one per cent of the girls' remarks, ac
cording to conclusions drawn by Dean
Zimmerman's survey.
-U. A. .
"Browvnie" can bark the answer to any
problem, whether it calls for addition or
subtract ion, multiplication or division, so
long as it's between one and nine. This,
if asked the result of 35 dlividled by 5,
she wvill bark seven times. Skeptics may
write their problems on a blackboard as
well as offer it orally, say the Jordan
sisters.
And that isn't all. "Brownie"' can bal
ance a ball on the end of her nose for
iv'e minutes or longer.
