[The Iron Puddler by James J. Davis]@TWC D-Link bookThe Iron Puddler PREFACE 5/13
The brain worker who talks to the hand worker in a special jargon the latter can not understand has built an iron wall between the worker's mind and his mind.
To tear down that wall and make America one nation with one language is one of the tasks of the new education. If big words cause misunderstandings, why not let them go? When the stork in the fable invited the fox to supper he served the bean soup in a long-necked vase.
The stork had a beak that reached down the neck of the vase and drank the soup with ease.
The fox had a short muzzle and couldn't get it.
The trick made him mad and he bit the stork's head off. Why should the brain worker invite the manual worker to a confab and then serve the feast in such long-necked language that the laborer can't get it? "Let's spill the beans," the agitator tells him, "then we'll all get some of the gravy." This long-necked jargon must go.
