the time the child is veil into his teens, he usually
realizes it was for his own good. But the mind of a
youth is as yet undeveloped and sensitive. "Nagging"
and unexplained punishment may cause the child to
brood and sulk. It may even be carried to euch a degree
that the nervous system is affected and may even result
in the extreme case of the Kansas incident.
Such cases may be traced back to family training.
Obedience and understanding go hand in hand. And
both require time and patience. When parents no longer
neglect their duties and permit their children to "just
grow up", press accounts of family quarrels will be re-j
duced considerably.
The Cynic Sayst
. Yesterday the professor who always waits until
the bell rings before making the next assignment told
me I'd never amount to anything if I continued to let
everything go until the last minute.

it may not be as great as a few years later) of the

For the average graduate has already had a few
direct and several indirect contacts with the world now
lying before him. He has seen promising young men
drift into mediocre positions and stay there. He has
seen and perhaps tasted, the disillusions and disap
pointments of life. He knows that his pathway is not
covered with roses and he has aiscovereu t.

SCIENCE AS CULTURE
"Anyone who has not understood both the con
ception of matter as revealed in the physical group and
who has not studied the evolution of life revealed in
the biological group cannot be considered a liberally
educated person." Such is the stand taken by the Wel
lesley College News and reprinted in the New Student.
The story of science has ceased to be only prac
tical; it has come to be associated with culture, the
editorial states. The old and still common conception
of science is that it is something apart from cultural
studies something for pre-medics to learn.
But instead, science, when recognized in its fullest
sense, is something which is a prerequisite to nearly
every specific field of study," an din general to one's
ordering of life. The Wellesley college editorial has
hit the problem squarely. The day when science is
taken only as a requirement by students desiring a
liberal education and for practical knowledge by tech
nical students, is nearly past. Our everyday life has
become so involved with scientific problems, that some
knowledge of th ephysical or natural sciences is nec
essary.
An example of the common need of a scientific
education is shown by the growing popularity of the
evolutionary idea of organic matter and that atomic
theory of inorganic matter. The Wellesley editorial
advises knowledge of both biological and physical
sciences to evaluate these ideas.
Sociology, one of our newest social sciences, finds
itself dependant upon either physical or natural science
for its working materials. A philosophy course, offered
in our university, takes up the philosophy of life by
approaching it from the viewpoint of the sciences.
If students can get over the idea that science is
something that has to be taken but isn't going to be
worth anything to them, it will lose its isolated position
and become part of cultural training. Just a brief
examination will show how much our lives today have
been results of science in the past and how much future
developments can mean for them. The chance to study
science is something foreseeing students will "gobble
up" because it is coming to be essential to a liberal
education.

THESE FAMILY QUARRELS
Because his father refused to let him drive a car,
a 17-year-old Kansas boy shot and killed his parents
and his five brothers and sisters. He then set fire to
the farm house to destroy the evidence of his crime.
The youth confessed that he had had trouble with his
father for some time, and had decided to "end it all."
This is an extreme case of strained relations within
the family, but it is from extreme cases that leBsons
are to be gained.
It is the duty of parents to censure their children.
That i3 part of the work of bringing them up. But
extreme cat.es sometimes arise outof this censure. The
child is criticised for some act. If he later repeats it,
the admonishment is usually stronger. The parent is
busy and does not take the time to explain the mean
ing of the retribution and misunderstanding creeps in.
The parent begins to think the child incorrigible. The
child thinks the parent unreasc" ble in the punishment,
and the breach widens.

JAZZ
The early beginnings of jazz were overburdened
with crudities, yet the power of this music, and its ele
mental appeal, were such that it survived these handi
caps, gaining in popularity until it swept all of America
before it, and invaded Europe.
Jazz was born in negro cabarets, a primitive ex
pression of music depending upon single rhythm for
its existence, a rhythm as old as man. A negro organi
zation, the Dixieland jaxx band, was the first orchestra
to introduce this music to the public. Quickly the new
craze swept the country, and venturous white musicians
began to play jazz. It is typical of the early trend in
jazz that a drummer, Art Hickman, should have reigned
supreme in this field during the early days when blatant
noise was the essence of this music.
It was not long before jazz began to lose many of
its crudities. The simple instrumentation of the early
bands was expanded; a deluge of capable musicians
were drawn into jazz by the commercial possibilities
which it offered. The mechanics of jazz underwent a
change with the advent of trained men. Songs and or
chestrations were written by specialists in these fields,
and the principle of the survival of the fittest began
to operate.
Among those who cast their lot with jazz was Paul
Whiteman. He was a violinist with a classical back
ground; today his name is synonymous with jazz, for
he has placed himself on a pinnacle far above his com
petitors. The successful orchestra leader does not dare
to depend upon himself for his success; he conscripts
the best musicians that are available, and fuses them
into his organization. This is the reason for Paul White
man's phenomenal success. He did not stop at building
up an organization of instrumentalists, but fortified
himself further by employing his own arrangers, that
he might have exclusive orchestrations. Ferdie Grofe
and George Gershwin are the men who' make Paul
Whiteman's music different from that of his contem
poraries; these arrangers have been responsible for all
the innovations of consequence in the scoring and ar
ranging of jazz music.
Whiteman lifted jazz to a high level by giving a
recital at the Aeolian hall in New York, for the pur
pose of outlining its growth. This concert was a tri
umph; the intelligentzia discovered that jazz music had
its merits, and Whiteman was hailed as a genius. He
had not done more than explain, as one might to a
dull child, whence jazz came, its earliest forms, and its
present form; this simple procedure, and its results,
reveals in Whiteman an innate shrewdness and know
ledge of human nature.
Jazz to the European, and to the European musi
cian in particular, is a mysterious substance. The Euro
pean is fond of jazz, and recognizes it, but is unable
to play it properly. This would lead one to believe that
jazz is essentially American in texture. The European
orchestra, when playing the syncopated measures of
jazz, hopelessly fails to stress the proper beats. It is not
an unusual incident when an American tourist, vaguely
recognizing the strains of a number played by a hotel
orchestra, is told that it one of his favorites.
The European outdoes the American in the matter
of "playing a song to death." When a jazz number be
comes popular in Europe, it becomes a sensation, is
played everywhere, whistled everywhere, and hangs on
to life with a strange tenacity. In America, a song may
predominate for a short time, but it is soon forgotten.

PEACE WITHOUT WAR
Since the middle ages most peace treaties have been
written at the conclusion of a war, the victor usually
fiictating and the vanquished usually acceptine the
terms. Nowadays the essential difference lies in the
fact that the majority of those nations advocating the
mucn discussed world-wide peace, would have it avert,
rather than follow, wars and international strife.
Looking back over more recent facts in histnrv
we find that our own forefathers did not gain peaceable
possession of this country until they had successfully
queuea ine maian rebellions and forced the Indians to
accept peace terms; English history shows that the
so-called "Great Peace" was negotiated in 1360 only

It is highly significant, therefore, that in this day and

of international controversies, would have a tremen-

"The student should know that

"They should spend the time half in

they should do that during the school
year but some of the students play
too much while others work too
