It looks as if this world will eventually be forced to accept the program of Jesus?that program of universal brotherhood. World peace cannot come without itj democracy without it is but a mockery; social thinking is'the soul of it; amicable race relations are impossible without -it; a truce in the class-war must come through it, or not at^ll. The very things for which the world clamors today are things which are products of' brotherhood. Just why we are so slow to recognize this fact is~hard ta understand. -If more of the hard thinking on how to" uiereo~me our wonoT" ^'^'culties -were concentrated upon some program to foster -brotherhoodT we coutd~right goon emerge from the dense ehoas of a uisrraugnt economic order. Let us desist from attempts to soothe ourselves by the elusive delights 6f speculation on the whys and wherefores of our world predicament, and give ourselves more completely to the simple, task of fostering human brotherhood. We maybesgin next door and begin now! Brotherhood is bound to be one of the concomitants of these critical times.

DRAMA GRAMS ^ " ~7~By~t*T?te Vera Postles *- - ; ; ~J > Dialects The. feeling and thought are as important in speaking dialects as the pronouncition of the vowell" and eonsonant sounds. The form amounts to but litll,. if the spirit is Iaclung. One snourd know something of tTie native language of the person he is trying to imitate. If that^lSTtguage has many gutturals, certain habits in J the use of the organs of speech will \ havc "to be overcome before- the foreigner can master the English forms, so many of which are placed far Iront There will qlso TuT habits of inflection and accent avhich linger after one has laboriously worked out" the farms. One must also consider .national characteristics. Some- people are stolid and self contained, making few bodily movements. while speaking. Others ure vivacious, emotional and temperamental and express themselves with many gestures and marked rapidity of .speech. I ' v The forceful character of the Scot, bred for centuries to cope with the hard physical conditions of his coun j-r-Vn prnhahly-Ha*- a gnat chml tP do ? with the'manner of speech; while the poetic, romantic nature of the Irish helped to bring into their speech"Tthe * jf.etty rhythmic li|t which makes thtir dialect so musical. The native Celtic language spoken A by the Scott, has many gutturals caus- * J ing a general backward position of the .tongue.?"R"ia rolled vigorous- ? ly, but "the vibration is at the back and sides of the tongue instead of . *t the tip as in the English "R" of jur own day. There is much energy in all sounds, which distinguishedes die Scottish dialect from all others. The close set jaw helps to determine the pronunciation of the vowels. All Scottish XV are back sounds,? The real English dialect varies with A the locality. The Cockney is the most - ^ Familiar. It ranges from the speech of 'Tommy Atkins" in Kipling's poems to one almost intelligible to * Americans. The odd sounds noticeable in the cultured English speech are exaggerated to a very great degree*, besides many other marked changes. It is used or omitted in a way exactly opposite' to tht. manner we are~accustonTCd~to using it.?There is a general crudeness in the use of the lips?and-jaw th.a.t prevent clean cut articuition. ' ' ??L ? As to Negro dialect, the home_is ^ in Africa. There is a lovn for musie rhythm, and a very religious attitude sometimes to th-;. point of superstition. Before the Civil War is lite picturesque period of this dialect. 4 A" is.. always flat, We must re . member that out of the spHl1 common people arises a classical speech "R" is nmittral itnd th.? snf( Italian "A" is always substituted. .
