"Business men who knew the works only by hearsay used to deplore the time wasted (as they thought) by youth who grappled with The Republic of Plato and the Politics of Aristotle, which were presumed to be more than 2,000 years behind the times. LAMENTS LACK OK VISION" "It never occurred to them that the brightest youths, who had grappled with the greatest minds of the most intellectual people that have existed on our earth, might develop thereby a mentality capable of grappling with the gravest contemporary problems. "We are far from contending that the old classical education conferred Infallibility upon those who pursued it, but we maintain that it made for an immensely higher grade of mentality than is coming out of the schools today, or that has been coming out for a loni; period of time, and that it did, and can still, produce the expansion of mind SAN FRANCISCO U.R) Old Ideals of teaching must be restored if -America is to escape the brutalizing effects of business go-getterlam," in the opinion of William Wallace Chapin, San Francisco editor.

All America, including business Itself, Chapin believes, already is suffering "from the dire consequences of the dearth ot the higher mentalities which it is the aim of classical education jto develop." Writing in his weekly Argonaut, Chapin said the nation's higher welfare was dealt a fatal bldw when "at instigation of big business, higher institutions of learning commercialized themselves by providing training In- I stead of education. "Tnis raised up, Chapin added, "for the benefit of commercialism a monstrous regiment of clerks In place of scholars, and go-getters in place of philosophers.

I'r( Stnff rnrrFHpnnilcnt) WASHINGTON (U.W Improved demand and Slightly higher price probably will boost farm prosperity considerably In 1940, the Agriculture Department pre-diets. Total Income, Including In government benefit payments, may equal or surpass 1937, which now ranks as the best year since 1930. A gross farm income of close to $10,000,000,000 does not appear improbable, officials said. Farm prosperity usually lags behind industrial recovery.

Rising industrial activity the last half of this year along with increased factory employment and general business improvement will be reflected next year on the farms. PURCHASING POWER UP Consumer purchasing power will be greater next year, economists predicted. Prices of most farm products have been rising Steadily, although not sensation- ally, since mid-summer. European war demands for wheat, cotton and meats are expected to continue an upward trend. The bureau of agricultural ecoroiul summarized the 1940 farm outlook by commodities as follows: Wheat The acreage seeded to wheat may be about the same as for 1939 05,000,000 acres but yields Per acre may be smaller because of the fall drouth.

This may result in a crop below do- requirements and a consequent reduction In present surpluses. Cotton This year's crop of 11,845,000 bales Will be approximately 2,000,000 bales below domestic consumption and export demand. Exports nifty be double last year and domestic consumption at least 1,000,000 bales larger. Price trend is upward. Feed grains The supply of feed grains, Including corn, oats, hay and sorghums, is larger than last year.

Due to an Increase in livestock, the supply Per animal is less. The corn supply is at a near -record of 3,100,000,000 bushels. Corn prices will be higher this winter and spring than a year aao.
