The Brussels Post, 1907-6-6, Page 6NOT'ES AND COMMENTS Great efforts are being made al UM 'carried as well as in. the 'eornmereial everld to bring about the perfection of ,an international auxiliary langtiage,. The advantages or email an idiom are appal,. era to all Intelligent persons, and the 1e0,e011 why one has not been interna- tionally adopted meet be that hitherto there had been none devised that would meet all vital inlernaltonal requirements, US erase of leernieg, economy, sim- plicity of constroollim, euphony, sympa- thetic: Lb the leading living languages, etc, Volapulc had ifs day, but was sup- planted ninny yertes ago by Eeperanto. The haler, eol, making headway enough, „ Di'. 11. eloleectar of Munich, Germarna has just come M the front with a necv International language that he appro- ately names "Universal," and which Is ealculated to supplant, what he calls "arbitrary and unseientific" resperanto. Dr. effilenear started out with the idea that it was not so much a question of "creating" a "new" Werld language as It W85 to collect, systematically and put to- gether scientifically the most used inter- national semis as a base upon. winch to build a successful world language. In this way he has now succeeded in creat- ing a composite international language that can be rend and understood at first sight by anyone above the average In- telligence knowing a language that is grounded in the Latin, such as most modern languages are. It is a marvel of simplicity, and, there- fore, can be learned easier by far by any ordinary person. Dr, aleleamar has Just issued his new grammar and vocab- ulary in "Universal," and, for the ease of Iniernatiormi learners, In five modern languages, with prose and poetry, all in one booklet. It Is a first-rate entertainer in leisure, and makes one passably ac- quainted with five different tongues. "Universal" is not less easily epoken than written, and is equally convenient for scientific, commercial or literary per- sons. All linguistic students wilt hail It with delight in preference to Esperanto. Or, possibly, as in stenogeriphy, we may have several systems for a while to com- pete with each other, the fittest "Una 'venal" surviving in the end. The latter is replacing Esperanto already in Eur- ope, and will do so m Anierica as soon 415 it .18 generally known, and though Esperanto has the advantage of years of undisturbed headway lis present adher- ents will desert it for the simpler, easier and more scientific "Universal." Several recent instances where chil- dren in public schools were &wed througli. the efficiency of the fire drill from possible panic because of the near- ness of a fire which threatened the school building, have served to call renewed attention to the value of this feature of school discipline. It cannot be too strongly commended. The drill has a Iwo -fold influence. It helps to give to the pupils that self-control whinh is one of the most important elements of any sort of training. It is a safeguard against possible tragedies bringing ser - Tow to many homes. Children are naturally excitable. They are not able to form the quick and cor- rect judgments which belong to more mature years. They are more dependent upon those who are in charge of them thtm older people are. They look for direction in times of difficulty and dan- ger. This is particularly true in the case of a threatening fire, where the tendency is for people to lose their heads. The vanity to calm fears, lo form the lines, end to march the pupils from a place of danger is a praiseworthy quality in a teacher. That so many of them are able lo do this reflects credit upon them and tells of the attention given to the fire drill itself. There is no reason Tor limiting the application of these words to educational institutions. They have bearing like - '81180 upon the big stores or manufac- turing etstablishments where there are large numbers of people collected at work.
