EDITORIAL NOTES
Dr. H. A. Sprague's . . . .
proposal for the foundation of a national association for
the improvemen t and advancement of teaching, made at
the recent New Orlean's convention , may be the first step
in a leveling-off process urgently needed In the profession
of teaching.

While the New Jersey

....

educator 's suggestion has already been turned over to a
national committee for another year of study and development, It has stimulated worth-while thinking by educators and prospecti ve teachers throughout the East and
may well become the principal subject of conversation by
local groups.

The Policies Committee

....

of which the Montclalr Teachers College president is
chairman, recommended the establishment of the association along the lines of the national associations which
now oxlst In such professions as law and medicine, and
thoy further suggested that the association should not
continue primarily as an association of teachers colleges
but rather as an association of schools and colleges organized for tho education of teachers.

Toyohiko Kagawa *
"A Gain of Wheat" by Toyohiko
Kagawa, the Japanese missionary to
the world, and thought by many to be
the greatest missionary since St. Paul,
has proved to bo not only a prolifla
writing, but an entertaining and gripping one as well.
The story of the man Kagawa is an
unusual one. The son of a wealthy
man , he threw aside all the wealth and
position ho might have had as a Jap- ¦
anese nobleman after being converted
to Christianity by an American missionary. iFor years he has lived in the
slums of the big cities of Japan, mingling with all types of peopl e who are
physically anil mentally ill. Several
years ago he attended Princeton.
That was during the World War. Last
year he made a tour of America and
millions of people from all parts of '
]
the country heard him speak.
"A Grain of Wheat" proved nothing
short of sensational in Japan , both as
a book and a motion picture. The storycenters about a boy, Kakichi, -working
as a lumberman across the mountains
from home. Growing lonesome, he returns to his family to find that bis sitters have both left home, one being
sold into slavery, and his brother has
become a bolshevist. Troubled and
worried, he seeks surease from his
problems at the home of a neighboring
Christian.
Much of the book Is devoted to a
presentation of cooperatives, in which
Kagawa is a firm believer. He presents this system- in a very forceful
and realistic way. In general "the book
is an attack on all existing conditions
of Japan and other parts of the world."
A touch of the romantic is added in
the person o'f a hermit who plays an
important part in the early life of
Kakichi. Yoshie, Kakichi's sweetheart, proves the value of Christian
religion when she gives her life that
others might live.
For a book that provokes thought in
an entertaining: ana worth-while way,
there are few better.

over Indiana and Slippery Rock two
weeks ago. The Pucillo players averaged more 'than a point a minute,
scoring 732 points to their rivals' 455.
Scoring honors went to George Ehemann, lanky center around whom, the
offensive was built. The former Lancaster High School star tallied 63 field
goals and '56 free tosses for a total of
182 of his team 's points.
Bloomsburg and Kutztown were the
only rivals able to break Into the Millersville winning streak this year, both

Bloomsburg won their first encounter
by a score of 32 to 21 but lost the second, on the Millersville floor , 44 to 25.
Kutztown, claimant to the mythical
crown lost year, lost three games during the season to throw them out of
the picture. West Chester and East
iStroudsburg, because of a light teachers college schedule, were not considered for honors, though both turned
out better-than-average teams.
