The untimely death of Dr. J. N. R.
Score brings to our minds the fact that a
great leader is gone. He belongs to a
group that is truly a chosen one in its ex-
ertion for the spread of Christianity.
The loss of Dr. Score can be expressed
**■$>>• this recent evdogy: "The Methodist
Church has lost a powerful preacher.
Southwestern University has lost a fine
educator arid president. The people of Fort
Worth and of Texas have lost a faithful
friend." s
To the Christian world Dr. Score devoted
his life. During his ministry in Houston,
he played a vital role in the erection of
St. Paul's Methodist Church. Under his
keen guidance the First Methodists of Fort
Worth also received sound religious teach-
ings. At Georgetown, Dr. Score made the
recognition of the university as an out-
standing school for the Instruction of young
men and women.
Dr. Spare's spiritual accomp'ftshihenft
have left his mark throughout the state of
Texas. His endless, untiring attitude and
devotion to the people have brought many
ne^v members into the Methodist church.
There can be little doubt in anybody's
mind that with the death of such a mag-
nificent leader a great loss occurred, not
only to education but to the church and to
the state as well.—J. E. S.

State ojj American Guttwie
When Adolpn Hitler stood at the head of
a strong Nazi empire, he delighted in be-
littling the American lack of culture. His
scorn was directed at our comics, our
"sensual" movies and our non-appreciation
of "classical" music.
Although he exaggerated for reasons of
propaganda, the little paper-hanger from
Berchtesgaden pointed out one of our fun-
damental national weaknesses—-materialism
set up at the expense of esthetic values,
without which Man becomes a machine, a
mere automaton performing the mechanics
of living.
Certainly Hitler's "Kultur" was hardly
enlightened, for tyranny and terrorism can-
not represent Mankind's best way of life.
This must be America's answer to her pres-
ent Red accusers. "People who live in
glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
But this curt reply, while making us feel
better, does not evaporate the unhappy
state of.. American culture. Who can deny
it could be Improved when he realizes that
less than one per cent of the national In-
come Is spent *m education?
And while baseball each year hauls in
millions of dollars, the Metropolitan Opera
Company has been in sorry straits for years.
While billions are spent in night clubs,
teachers have to accept other jobs on a
.part-time basis to get by. This series of
observations would hardly indicate a really
worthwhile culture.
At this point a solemn responsibility de-
volves upon our colleges and universities,
upon the faculty as well as the st.ude
They together form a nucleus
which a high intellectual level can-

tude. Without sincerity their efforts
wouldn't be worth a plugged penny. No,
our cultural leaders must" enjoy a Tenny-
son couplet or a passage from "Lohen-
grin" without feeling superior. Armed
with this zest for "the higher things," our
"patrons of the arts" will wish every one
to share their sentiments, but they won't
attempt the conversion in a condescending
manner.
Culture should certainly not be a,,,forced
sham. But certainly no one should be
afraid of it. After all what is culture but
an appreciation of God and Man and Man's
highest achievement in all fields?—N.T.B.

A scholarly disposition was shown by the
TWC students asked to aft their opinions
of the Russian A-bomb this week.
As to a coming war, the majority were
uncertain, and the remainder were divided
in opinion. Most of the 'interviewees felt,
however, that war, if impending, would be
a lohK way off.
The question asked was, "What is your
opinion of the Russian atom bomb?"
BYRON SMITH, Sophomore I would
say, generally, that it was a surprise. It
Should influence the ITi S. to stress our
support in the government and belief in
the Supreme Architect. I believe, since
they have one, it will do more to force
peace.
BURTON GATES, Senior—It is a politi-
cal mess. I believe the A-bomb will be a
peace-maker.
OZZIE DAVIS, Senior —I don't believe
their bomb is as well developed as ours.
In order for the U. S. to preserve world
peace, we will have to keep one step ahead
of them like we have been.
BILL HOSFELT, Junior I believe If
they have it perfected, they will try to use
It to conquer the world. If they don't
have it under control, I don't believe they
will try to start war. The atomic ev '
sion in Russia is known over the V"
believe that as soon as they belK
are prepared for it, we will ,b
war.
CLOVTS PROCTOR, Freshman— If they
really have an A-bomb, the allied powers
should be more careful how they use their
Atlantic Peace Pact. Some of the U. S.
arguments and discussions are more tq>'
antagonize Russia than to cement relatip*"-"
with members of the Atlantic Peace Pa

After leading the League for
149 games of the schedule the
Yanks were downed by the Bo-
sox and dumped in second place
on a squeeze play in the top of
the eighth inning last Tuesday.
The smallfry, Johnny Pesky,
streaked home and slid under
the catcher's tag according to
the umpire. All the Yanks
came storming around the ump
and nearly blew their tops.
The Cinderella manager,
Stengal, was slumped on a
couch, in his tiny office under
the Yankee Stadium after the
game listening to the clock
strike 12 and wondering if his
pumpkin coach would hold to-
gether. At the same time the
players were raving in their
dressing room because they
thought they had been robbed.
They were heartedfy assuring
each other that Grieve was "the
