"We are surely all agreed," he added, "that the term Aryan can only be applied to speech; and that Nordic indicates a breed' and can only be applied to race. But few folk realize that the term 'Jew' should only be used in connection with religion, We need a new term to express a group linked by purely cultural characters such as language or religion, For such groups T have been extending the use of the word cult' For instance, in Canada we have in reality no French race, since Frenchmen may belong to one of three distinct races, but only a French cult, linked by common language and religion, So also we should learn to speak of a Jewish cult since this large group is linked closely by religion and to a lesser degree by language. The Jews, like the Germans, are of two different races, If they come from Poland they belong to the Alpine race; if from Spain they are of Mediterfanean race, like all the original Jews of Palestine,"
The logical linguistic divisions 1m Europe Professor Taylor showed with the aid of diagrams, were undoubtedly Aryan and Altaic. The race divisions were Nordic, Alpine, and Mediterranean, The German nation, he said, was half Nordic and half Alpine, The Jew belonged to a "cult," but the dominant Jews in Europe, including about three-quarters of the whole body, were broad-headed Alpines lixe the rest of the mid-European peoples.
The most logical explanation was that the Polish Jews were the result [of the widespread conversions carried jon by the Jews in Eastern Europe, A year or two ago the German authorities were specifically excluding the German Jews as of "non-Aryan" race, Racially, of course, they were Alpines like the South Germans, and their language was best called Judeo-German, Later in his address Professor Taylor said he believed that Hamitic speech, akin to the language of the Pharaohs, was spoken in most parts of Britain while the Greeks were learning Homer, The Berbers, Tuaregs, and other still more marginal folk of North Africa were of the same race and still preserved their old speech without change, It was to be hoped that Berber would not be made compulsory for the unfortunate youngsters in the Irish Free State as the result of this address, For the training of the educated man today, if they omitted the specialized knowledge he needed for his profession, three things seemed to be vital, These were biology, which dealt with the evolution of man as an anime tory, which dealt largely with the growth of his ideals and institutions; and geography, which [dealt with his present, often varying, environment, He would like to see Wells's "Outline of History," or some similar generalized study of cultural evolution, made compulsory for all high schools. The aim of civilization, as he saw it, was not to prepare for a better world beyond this earth, but to prepare a better world on this earth, Our immediate objective should be a world of peace. This could only be attained by studying world problems, especially those involving other nations and cultures, Sailor "Tours" His Own Ship An able seaman on shore leave from Portsmouth and staying at Eastleigh, Hampshire, was attracted ty a sign "Mystery Tour" outside a coach station recently. He purchased a ticket. Soon after the coach started he went to sleep. When it stopped he awoke, and found himself outside Portsmouth Dockyard. He was expected to join a crowd of sightseers on a tour of the cruiser from which he had been granted leave—and he did.
