Patriotism
and Prohibition
Nicholas Murray Butler. President
, of Columbia L'rlixcrsily, has brought.
i ‘ a swarm of verbal hornets about his
head through his expression. in a
speech in New York last week. of
‘ the opinion that Prohibition had
failed.
> Dr. Butler went much further
:7. “than to say that Prohibition had
‘ failed. but. for the purposes of dem-
onstrating a narrowness character-
. lstic of many today that statement
f. is sufficient,
‘ A wave of criticism and a. wave of
approval have followed his utter-
ances. but it is to the former that
attention is demanded. Had Dr.
Butler expressed a disbelief in Pro-
' hihltion as an institution the reac-
tion to his talk would be under-
standable. But his expression was
confined to a disbelief in the bene-
ficial effect. of Prohibition as it
now stands and to a. feeling that it
cannot be enforced. ‘
"Unpatriotic" is the term with
which many have branded the edu—
cator's view.
Unpatriotic in attempting to rem-
edy what he considers an evil by a
courageous statement of his views?
Unpatriotic in practicing the f e-
dom of thought of which Amer ca
boasts, and practicing it from the
chair of the President of one of the
~ greatest universities in the World?
If that is unpatriotic let its an-
tithesis, patriotism. be abolished.
Even those in violent disagreement
with the views of Dr. Butler should
entertain for him the highest re-
spect. feeling proud that in the face
of anticipated opposition so disting-
‘ uished an American should have the
. \fni'l' courage of his convictions.

If the number of their

Americans
. are taking care of their money this
year. and they are doing this 346.3
per cent.. better than in 1914.
If one American had all the
money it takes to make others'
pocketbooks. he would have a round
fifteen million dollars, or a sum suf-
ficient to pay the debt of the Bel-
gian Congo. or enough to buy all the
products annually imported into or
esportcd from the kingdom of Abys-
smla.
“'hile there. are no
statistics showing the amount of
money kept in American pocket-
books, it is known that this indus-
out wholesale
to the value of $3,350,552,
as com ared to $14,725,930 in 1919.
a. figure that has since materially in~
creased.
However. Americans could not
have pocketbooks but for imports of
raw materials. it is pointed “out by
the National Foreign Trade Coun-
cil. \Vithout respect to the nickel
for Clasps and other parts. from
Canada or other countries. or the tin
from the Straits Settlements and
Bolivia. the leather that goes into
pocketbooks is made in part of
goatskins from British India and
China. cattle hides from South Am~
erica. Canada and the Far East.
calfskins from France. the Nether-
lands and Canada. shecpklns from
New Zealand. and other hides and
skins from the uplands and jungles
of all the continents.
People for thousands of years
have counted their money and de-
n’iscd places to keep it. A man's

"There is every indication that a
new tendency. is gathering force in
those colleges. both for men and wo-
men. wherequestions of education
receive serious attention." says Dean
Hawkes. “in the days of.Paecal and
Laplace it. was possible for an in-
dividual to be a. profound scholar in
a wide field. .The sciences of astron-
Om’y. physics. chcmistr)‘. mathemat-
ics. geology; and biology were not so
highly developed that it was impos-
sible for 630 an to know all that
any one knew a out three or tour of
them and in haven fair knowledge
of the others. _ n \. _.
“But {the eighteenth and nine-
teenth centuries witnessed a wide
extension in every ficld’of knowledge
so that it has become impossible «to
acquire thorough scholarship in sev-
eral ileldsn Furthermore. these fields
themselves have become so enlarged
that a man is a. geometer. or organic
chemist ,or a paleontologist. rather
than a mathematicen. a. chemist, or
a geologist. With this’intenllfioation
of specialization it JV“ inevitable
that our system of higher education
should feel the influence of the;
tendency.
The Breeding of Specialists. ..

the people we love; the pure joys of
our maturity.
“Then it is that the word classic
takes its true “Islam. and is de-
fined for every man of taste by ir-
resistible choice.
“Then taste is formed. it is shaped
and definite: then good sense. if we
possess it at all. is perfected in us.
\Ve have neither more time for ex—
periments. nor a desire to go forth
in search of pastures new. we cling

"In fact. be it Horace or another
who is the author preferred. who
reflects our thoughts in all the
wealth of their maturity. of some
one of those excellent and antique
minds shall we request an'intervicw
at every moment; of some one of
them shall we ask a. friendship

iality. ‘
"One can see clearly e nough that
scholarship could not have progres-
sed to the point that it has reached‘
if the general consensus of scholars
of the nineteenth century had not
chosen dept at the expense of
breadth. But to assume that such a
program should dominate the admin

narrow field. Such minds are cer-
tainly very useful, and with human
nature as it is yve are not likely ever
to be without a large number of

exclusive or the main function of the
college to provide them.
"It may be that the production
