And piesently Still Trustful. 0 A Boston clergyman publicly mourns that there are 'no more real children in the world" and that Mother Goose rhymes and Santa Claus are being banished because they are not suj i ported by scientific proof.

But he fails to take into account the. incurable trustfulness of human nature. When we contemplate the unquestioning faith of men and women in all manner of harmful as weJl as harmless fakes, it would seem nearer the truth to declare there are no grownups in the world all are children and that all assumption of wisdom is but playing at being grownup. Delusions, fancies and fads may change from 'time to time as to subject matter, and may even assume aspects more dangerous than the innocent belief in SanU or Mother Goose, but they are just as absurd as ever, and all the wonderful discoveries in the scientific world which have marked the past 50 years have apparently in no wise discouraged the faith of human nature in the supernatural. Abandoned Cars.

One often wonders what became of all the worn out automobiles in this country. The street commissioner of York City has answered the question in part. He says a good many are just abandoned on the streets. A recent statement from the functionary reveals the surprising information that as many as 70 or 80 cars are abandoned throat.

It is the students who have been the back bone of the Nationalist movement, so far as enthusiasm and propaganda are concerned. The students have supported vigor-' ously every effort toward progressive policies in the empire. But in their youthful zeal, these students are apt to go far.

They may cause harm where good was intended. The officials of the federation have notified the student bodies in Manchuria that they will only make trouble for their country if the; persist in an announced intention to protest against Japanese activities in the Northern provinces by resort to the boycott and other weapons of passive resistence at this moment. It is probable that the officials of the students' organization realize that the.y should leave matters of international in p.irtnnee to the duly constituted authorities of the new Nationalist regime in China now that the opposition to that element of the government has been removed. Such a decision reflects credit upon tne good sense of the students. While there was need of arousing the Chinese people to the necessity for a change, while the war lords, and petty tyrants of cities and provinces held the country in their grip and bartered Chinese rights for foreign cash, there was a t'-jrnpndous job for stud.nts.

were able to make a profound impression upon the ignorant masses of the nation, because of the fact that nowhere in the world is there greater respect for learning than in China. The peaple there will follow in- formed leaders as they will do in few other countries. Victory has been achieved by the Nationalist cause, however, i. and there is no longer the necessity for "direct action" by the students. They are wise in being willing to leave to more experi- enced statesmen and political leaders the actual handling of the i delicate situation left by the victory of the Nationalist cause, morrow and by Monday excava tion for the foundation of the 5 Aa she InnfcPrl intn that fH.an.
