SITE OF THE HARPER MEMORIAL LIBRARYThe Library will face the Midway Plaisance on the south and Haskell Oriental Museum and the Law School (shown in theillustration) on the northThe University of ChicagoMagazineVOLUME I MAY, 1909 NUMBER 7THE HARPER MEMORIAL LIBRARYBY ANDREW CUNNINGHAM McLAUGHLINHead of the Department of HistoryTHE plans of the new Harper Memorial Library have not, as Iwrite these lines, been fully drawn or accepted. What fol­lows therefore must be read with the understanding that minorchanges will be made and that the trustees have not as yet officiallyacted in ratification of the architect's work. It is possible, however,without exercising powers of divination unduly, to describe withsome precision the new library as it will appear. It is to' form thecenter of the row of buildings forming a connected line from EllisAvenue to Lexington Avenue along the Midway. On the west endof the line, filling out the corner and covering the bare brick wallon the end of South Divinity Hall, which has so long shown itshomely features to the sun, will be at no distant day the ClassicalBuilding; next toward the east, and facing the campus on the onehand and the Midway on the other, the Modern Language Buildingwill be built; the library is to occupy the center of the group, itseastern end abutting on the building of the history group. Thoughthese buildings form a continuous line and are 'Of the same generalarchitectural style, each has an individuality of its own, and thelibrary in the center stands out with distinctness and with a certaindistinction which it deserves.The library building is 248 feet long from east to west along theMidway; its width north and south is 60 feet. At either end is atower 60 feet by 50,- rising above the main roof of the building, itshighest turret 128 feet from the ground. The eastern end of thelibrary extends some 20 feet beyond the west face of the Law28r282 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEBuilding; the west tower is a like distance beyond the east face ofHaskell. It is thus possible to connect the two older buildings withthe new one; and the connection is made by handsome stone bridges,running from the reading-room floor, the third story of the library,to the corresponding floors of Haskel1 and the Law Building. Inthis way communication is given between the three buildings andit will be possible for attendants to have easy access to the volumesin the three collections. From the north, or campus side, the librarymay be entered by three doorways, the first floor being but slightlyabove the level of the walks. On the south there is but one entrance,a central east and west corridor forming a passage from the Mid­way to. the quadrangles.In the west tower, on the ground floor, in addition to a com­modious entrance hall, are the offices for the President and hissecretaries. A central corridor running east and west through themain building gives access to the rooms on either side which forthe time being are to be used as classrooms for the departments ofthe history gmup. On this floor on the south side is the HarperAssembly Room, which is sixty feet by thirty-five, about the size ofthe assembly room in Haskell. This floor also contains nine class­moms and one of the small stackroorns that are to be used for thebooks of the history group.The second floor is largely taken up with offices for libraryadministration, with offices for the instructors in the history group,with seminary rooms, and with editorial offices. On the south sideare the librarian's office, the assistant librarian's office, stenog­rapher's room, and order department. On the north side are the restand conversation rooms for women, and offices and seminary rooms.The east tower, containing in part stacks for the history-grouplibrary, furnishes. space also for a seminary room and small studies.The third floor contains the general reading-room, a magnificenthall, 140 feet long and 50 feet wide, with a high vaulted ceilingrising some 50 feet above the floor. In general appearance it willresemble the reading-room of the Law Building, although it is notquite so long as the Law reading-room. The arched entrances ofdecorated stone, the high windows with elaborate tracery, thevaulted ceiling with molded ribs, relieve the plain stone finish ofthe room and add beauty to the effect of simplicity, space, andstrength. In the west tower is a large room for the public cata­logues. In the east tower is a manuscript or seminary room andHARPER MEMORIAL LIBRARYthe history-group graduate reading-room. The bridges from theLaw Building and Haskell are entered from the tower corridors onthis floor.The fourth and fifth floors 'Of the towers are accessible and areto be used for various purposes. In the main part of the building,between the towers, there are no floors, as has been said, above thefloor of the main reading-room, In the west tower on the fourthfloor are the bindery, library administration rooms, the telephoneswitchboard, and conversation and rest rooms for men. On thefifth floor are offices and small rooms for the Department of Phi­losophy. The fourth and fifth floors of the east tower containstudies and some other rooms for general library purposes.The reader who has had the patience to follow the details thusfar may naturally inquire where, with all these rooms for Univer­sity purposes, the books are to be stored, if this is really a library.The main book stacks are in the basement, a high apartment whichin itself will hold a large collection. The stacks under the mainpart will hold 322,560 volumes; the tower basements will hold72,000 more. Including the stacks provided for the first and secondstories of the east tower, and the shelving in the reading-rooms andseminar rooms, there is now provision for half a million books.When the President's offices are moved to an administration build­ing and the history group moves into its permanent quarters, therewill be room in the building for over a million volumes, and,rapidly as the University may grow, it is not likely that for somedecades to come we shall have over a million volumes exclusive ofthose housed in the departmental buildings. At the present timethere is accommodation for the general library, nearly 300,000volumes, for the libraries of the history group 50,000 volumes, andfor the seminar rooms, classrooms, and studies which are now insuch demand.The plans appear to provide ample space in the general reading­mom for the readers that will need to use it. It must be remem­bered that all .of the departments, save those of the history group,will have, as they do now, their own libraries and reading-rooms;and yet, if all students should use the general library rO'01p, as iscustomary at universities that do not have the departmental librarysystem, the space would not be ungenerous. The main reading­room floor will seat two hundred and eighty-eight readers; afterdeducting the space which is to be assigned to the senior college284 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEand graduate students of the history group, there still remainsspace for one hundred and sixty-eight readers. The present momin the Press Building contains one hundred seats. The Library ofCongress furnishes in its general reading-room seats for two hun­dred and fifty readers. The Columbia University library has smallspecial rooms, similar to the seminar rooms provided for our build­ing, but its general room has seats for only one hundred and thirty­five. The Cornell library accommodates two hundred and twenty;Wisconsin, in its two rooms, one for the university and one for thereaders of the State Historical Society, furnishes seats for twohundred and seventy-five. It is thus seen that the general reading­room will hold thirty-eight more than the one in the Library ofCongress; one hundred and fifty-three more than the one at Colum­bia; sixty-eight more than the one at Cornell, and thirteen morethan the two at Wisconsin. It should be remembered also thatthere is apt to be other provision for readers in addition to thatfurnished by the departmental libraries; reading- or study-roomswill probably be contained in the Junior College quadrangles thatwill some time be built for women and men respectively, east andwest of the main campus.The writer of these paragraphs is the most untechnical and un­skilled admirer of architectural effect and dares not venture far intothe realm of general description. He must content himself, there­fore, with only a word of appreciation of the magnificent ildingwhich is to occupy the central position in the stately line long theMidway front. The library of any university should be centerof its intellectual life ; the building that contains books,<� productof ages of scholarly toil, should typify the lofty purpose of univer­sity scholarship and the hope of university scholars. Noone canlook upon the Harper Memorial Library without feeling that in itsgraceful lines and noble dimensions it represents Ideals of learningand culture and is a worthy memorial of the man who wrought alife of devotion into the structure of the University and to itbequeathed his spirit,SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS OF ATEACHER OF ENGLISHBY JAMES WEBER LINN, '97Assistant Professor of EnglishTHE study of English at the present time-and by "English" Imean both literature and composition-occupies a peculiarplace in our school and college curricula. Speaking broadly, it hastaken the place of the classics as the fundamental requirement ofan education. It is insisted upon everywhere, even, for example, atHarvard where everything else is elective; here at Chicago the onlycourses required for every kind of degree are the courses in theme­writing known as English I and III. In the secondary schools, too,the department of English is the largest and commonly the mostadvertised, and the teachers of English are the most hard worked.Is this state of affairs permanent or transitory? Is it only a stepin the transition from the old supremacy of the classics to a futurereign of the sciences? Many believe SO'; and a few I fear considerthe time ripe for the next step.If they are right or wrong, I doubt whether many teachers ofEnglish who have given much thought to' the matter, and I doubtstill more whether many high-school principals would. deny that forall the present power of English in the educational kingdom, its holdis weakening. The army is marching on with loud cries and amagnificent spread of banner, but a strong party at home are asking,"What trophies have been sent back? What has been done to com­pensate for the cost?" They do not mean the cost in money, theseprotestants, but the cost in time. For with our crowded curricula,every study is pursued only at the expense of some other studywhich has valiant adherents; and as English must be pursued byevery student, all these small bands are constantly beset by thetemptation to write against it. The teacher of Greek, the teacherof German, and the teacher of geology may have little else in corn­mon, and yet stand together against the domination of English. Ido not say they do so stand; I say they are constantly tempted to.One hears talk of the English fetish, now, just as twenty years agotalk was heard of the fetish of the classics. There is no more of285286 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthat talk today, and the position of the classicists is so sad as tosuggest the probability of a reaction. One wonders whether historywill repeat itself.What gives the situation a certain claim to attention is the pres­ence of malcontents actually in the marching columns. There areno English teachers, so far as my experience goes, who do notbelieve in the teaching 'Of English, but there are many who do notbelieve in the system by which English is taught. The faculties ofour colleges assert that all high schools teach English very badly,and point to the vast numbers of ill-trained speakers and writerswho infest their freshman classes=-the students who write (somecannot write at all) : "the reason is because," "I was not to schoolyesterday since I received an accident while running," "I was im­pressed by the size of the buildings, this is very large;" who spell(many cannot spell at all) business buisness, athletics atheletics,together to geather, and hopeless hapless; and who declare theirliterary preferences (most have no. preferences whatever) to lie with"Geo. Elliot and Thackery. I like Elliot because of his many re­ligious notions which are calculated to do so much good." Otherscomplain of college-educated civil engineers who. cannot write aletter or produce a report, of doctors unable to distinguish in anyway except practically between disease and decease, of ministers whoknow neither how to begin nor how to end their sermons. And now,to complete the case, enters a professor of romance languages ofHarvard University, Mr. Irving Babbitt, and in a skilful and bitterfashion charges even the graduate 'schools of English with somethingthat touches stupidity and comes not far short of silliness.' Thecircle thus becomes complete. Unwisely trained teachers send up tocollege untrained pupils, who are there either left untrained 'Or,like their predecessors, trained unwisely, go forth to send up moreuntrained pupils.That high-school students are still in a great many cases badlytrained in English is unfortunately true. Our experience at theUniversity of Chicago, if it may not be regarded as typical, is atleast interesting. English I is a course in composition, required ofevery freshman in his first quarter. Its standards are by no meanswhat we could wish; it is even doubtful whether they would satisfythe 'Ordinary man of large affairs who complains that teaching Eng­lish is a waste of time. Yet at the beginning of each year, after a1 Babbitt, Literature and the American Colleqe, 1908.RANDOM THOUGHTS OF A TEACHER OF ENGLISH 287fair trial of every student's ability to carry the course, we send backfor further study in the lower schools from 17 to 20 per cent.­almost a fifth; and at the end of each quarter, of the students wehave alloioed to remain) a larger percentage are either conditionedor failed outright than, I think, in any other course in the University.So much for composition. Concerning the study 'Of literature inthe high schools I cannot speak so definitely. But a few questionsasked of the ordinary freshman class will reveal some startlingthings. In a recent class of which I had charge, of thirty-five fresh­men, none hopelessly dull and some extremely interesting, onlyseven had read anything of Thackeray, 'Only fourteen anything ofDickens, 'Only seventeen of Scott; nobody had read anything ofKingsley 'Or Charles Reade; one boy had read one book of MissAusten's; nobody had heard of Meredith, Hardy, or CharlotteBronte-; two were hazy upon the contemporaneity of Shakspereand Wordsworth, but were pretty sure Milton came before either;less than half knew the story of the good Samaritan, four the storyof Samson's death, three (all but one, vaguely) the story of thedeath of Absalom; and when one youth declared that Daniel "wasthe man who was put into the den of lions, and then into the bellyof a whale," fully half the class were not sure, whether to laugh.Indeed, I was not sure myself, but mine was a different reason. Ifthese things are not literature for the twentieth-century boy, whatis? If a knowledge, definite if slight, and an interest in our greatprose present and our great poetic past is not the sine qua: non of astudy of English literature, what is? But these young men hadthem not.On the other hand, any member of the English department whohas to do with composition will say without hesitation that mattersare constantly improving. The standards of English I which ex­clude a fifth of the entering students nGW would have excluded athird five years ago, and two-fifths or a half when the Universitywas in its infancy. Even the instructors of English 40, the firstcollege course in English literature, report a more definite knowl­edge on the part of the pupils.It is in the teaching of literature in the secondary schools, never­theless, that the greatest change must be demanded and madepossible. Part of the trouble is the fault of the colleges. I shouldnot go so far as to say, in agreement with Professor Phelps of Yale,that the college-entrance requirements in literature, with their em-288 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAoINEphasis upon so-called "intensive reading," are particularly calculatedto discourage in the student any interest in literature. I should noteven suggest that these requirements are a bugbear and a handicapto the high-school teachers, who must spend so much time with thedetails of each work that may be asked about in the entrance exami­nations, that they have little left for any consideration of the beauty,the structure, or the message of the work as a whole. If this bug­bear and hardship ever" existed, the certificate system of collegeentrance, so widespread in the West, should have effectively got ridof it. But I do believe that, since for the weak teacher this "intensivereading" is of all things the easiest to pass away the hours in teach­ing, and is, therefore, the most likely to be made the staple of theclass work, and since it is precisely this kind of reading that leadsa student to believe that "literature" is a dull philological problem(not that he ever heard of philology) and that a play of Shakspereis only a bag of singularly hard nuts for intellectual milk-teeth tocrack-that because of all this, "intensive reading" in the highschools ought to be discouraged instead of encouraged by our col­leges. "Explain the italicized words," runs the first question in thefirst entrance examination I pick up, "in the following passages:(I) The merciless Macdonwald from the western islesOf kerns and gallowglasses is supplied.(.2) I' the name of truthAre ye fantastical} or that indeedWhich outwardly ye show?Now it is certainly well that as a student reads, he should' not sup­pose "kerns and gallowglasses were the names 'Of a kind of 'Officersin the army." But the teacher may inform him in passing; and itis far more desirable surely that he should allow kerns and galIow­glasses and their like to drop out of his memory altogether than thathe should, by being made to "look them up for himself," be led tothe conclusion that Shakspere's magnificent rattling melodrama ofMacbeth is merely a disciplinary exercise in strange words anddifficult constructions. How English literature should be taught maybe found stated concisely in the preface to Professor Manly's col­lection of English poetry. That it may soon be universally taughtin the fashion there suggested, let us hope.The second charge against the teaching of English concernsitself with the college. College graduates, we are told, cannotexpress themselves simply and clearly in writing; and as for litera-RANDOM THOUGHTS OF A TEACHER OF ENGLISH 289ture, classes in it are the haven of rapturous women and the scornof sensible men. The first allegation is brought, however, far lessfrequently than it used to be. Doubtless it is still too often true.Training in English composition in many colleges is still an unsys­tematized thing. It is, in spite of its universality, comparativelynew business, and not solidly organized. A of one year is succeededby B the next, with a fresh set of theories which he desires to tryout. Ostensibly the same class will be given one year as a class inpunctuation and spelling, the next as a class in the study of transi­tions, the third as a class in "interpretative and presentative andinterpretative-presentative exposition." More often, the collegestandards in English are necessarily low. Colleges must take theirstudents by the certificate system, as they come, and often they comeastonishingly crude. If they are to be allowed to enter at all, someconsiderable sacrifice of ideal must be made by the department ofEnglish, and is made. Finally, a small but appreciable number ofstudents. even in our most careful institutions get through theirEnglish composition really untrained, and for two reasons. Somecheat their way through. The practice of buying themes is notuncommon, and very difficult to detect; having a friend do them isperhaps still commoner. Every student understands that such meth­ods are the bitterest dishonor, but the sense of honor still developslate in some. And some are passed through by virtue of the peculiarrelation which exists between the instructor in English compositionand the student, a relation in the nature of the case closer than existsin most courses. One reads the student's productions, finding inthem an unconscious or sometimes conscious self-revealment weekby week, one talks to him personally in consultation half a dozentimes. The student is, let us say, poor, hard working, not stupidbut ill prepared. The honest question arises, shall he be failed orconditioned? or, perhaps, more subtle still, shall he be conditionedor barely passed? The temptation to give him the benefit of thedoubt is strong and frequent, and, I fear, not infrequently yielded to.As for the charge that literature is a study for women, that cer­tainly expresses a widespread view, but it means nothing. A queershrill cry is heard everywhere nowadays that "education shouldbe practical" and as the study of literature is not "practical," i. e.,will assist few except the teacher of it in earning his living, yourhard-headed young student who has his living to earn rejects it infavor of chemistry, criminology, and civil government. This is no290 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEplace to discuss that matter. Without pausing to' inquire whether a"practical general education" is not a contradiction in terms, or todeny that the chief end of man is to make as much money or getas much power as he can as soon as possible-admitting indeed thatas English literature is often taught, it is of no value to a practicalperson-I pass on to the most recent attack upon the teaching ofEnglish, Professor Babbitt's.His assertion, or at least the assertion that concerns us, is thatthe teaching of English in our colleges is in a great measure eitherdilettante or rigidly philological; that it consists too much either inwhat Professor Paul Shorey recently described as "pouring a thinstream of lukewarm rhetoric over the class" or in what might becalled the "intensive reading" of our high schools raised to the nthpower-the study of literature as if it were a problem instead of amessage and a symbol of life. He argues eloquently if defiantlyagainst both methods, and would deduce from their prevalence theexplanation of the present doubtful condition of English in ourcolleges. He even proposes, in order to remedy them, a new gradu­ate degree in literature, an equivalent of the doctorate, which shallbe granted not so much on a basis of unique knowledge of one smallthing, as for a sound and wide-ranging knowledge of many things­Germanic and Romance literature as well as English, and their rela­tions ; a degree which shall be truly a degree in comparative litera­ture, not in comparative philology. The instructor, possessed of· such a degree, and his natural vigor not abated by excessive devotionto the sentence-form of some one unimportant mediaeval author,will be able to stir up his students to a greater understanding, a morecertain appreciation, of what various works mean in their totality,and indeed of what literature itself really means. Such a "doctor ofliterature" will not invite his class to count the number of times theDromios are beaten in the Comedy of Errors; nor, on the otherhand, will he ask them to' make a list of the beauties to be found inthe Epipsychidion. If he teaches English composition he will notbe so set upon the spinning by his pupils of airy webs of fancy, asupon forcing them to clear thinking and a decently wide acquaintancewith the best writers, past and especially present, of English prose.SO', at least, in substance we may infer from Professor Babbitt.To which remains to be answered, in substance, only Bravo!I fancy few could be found to disagree with Professor Babbitt inhis essential contention-that a teacher of English literature andRANDOM THOUGHTS OF A TEACHER OF ENGLISH 29Icomposition should be a widely read man, a soundly judging man,a man capable of sustained thought, and of the nicest taste and dis­crimination. Personally I am not even sure that I differ from theauthor of this thesis in minor matters; perhaps it is only that the(apparently) somewhat defiant tone, the (apparently) somewhatsuperior and almost scornful temper of his phraseology distressesme into opposition. My opposition, such as it is, leads me only tothe remark that Professor Babbitt's experiences with doctors ofEnglish must have been unfortunate, when it leads him to say thatour institutions of high learning today have their faces turned fromthe education which will produce strong men. Perhaps two-thirdsof the candidates for the doctorate in English in America todaycome under the pretty direct influence of either Professor Kit­tredge or Professor Carpenter,' or Professor Lounsbury, or Pro­fessor Manly, or Professor Gayley. I know of no one of thefive who does not stand pretty clearly for the necessity of a"literary." as well as a "scientific" training. Professor Babbitt isstriving toward an ideal; so are they; I am reasonably certain thattheir ideals and the ideal of Professor Babbitt are one and thesame.The great matter is to realize that English literature, and otherliteratures, are chiefly important not for themselves, but in theirrelation to life. What the writing of any man and any time means,and how it interprets its own author and his time to us, we firstdemand to know. But why this demand should be expected toexclude the interest of the philologist or why it should become insome fashion a matter of reproach to' the teacher of compositionbecause he is teaching composition and not literature, one hardlyknows. That a different kind of degree for the advanced student ofliterature who expects to teach, might keep this demand as principalmore clearly before him, may very well be true; but that collegeteachers of literature, of English literature at least, have in anyconsiderable numbers lost sight of this principal demand, I do notfor a moment believe. It is easier, far easier, to test knowledge thanto test power to discriminate and to present facts; but that thedoctorate in English at the present time ignores this latter power,is a statement not borne out by any survey of the present heads ofour university departments of English and a statement which (sofar as I can see) Professor Babbitt neglects to bring any evidenceto prove.1 This was written some time before Professor Carpenter's death.THE SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP ATTHE UNIVERSITY SETTLEMENTBY WILLIAM SCOTT BOND, '97ONE of the most importanrt agencies in the making of capable,intelligent citizens out of Chicago's foreign population liv­ing south and west of the Stock Yards is the School of Citizenshipof the University of Chicago Settlement. Many alumni of theUniversity do not know the extent and character of the work doneat the Settlement; few have heard of this important division of itsactivities, which is at work on a problem 'Of wide interest and deeppractical significance. Its efforts. are directed toward making goodcitizens of the aliens in the Settlement community, men who arealien in thought, language, and mode of life. The University Set­tlement at 4630 Gross A venue is located in a neighborhood wherework of this kind may be particularly effective. The school is thedirect result of a need for some effort to guide these foreignerstoward decent and intelligent citizenship.Whether or not we accept the mission assigned to us by Mr.Zangwill, who regards America as the world's school of manhoodand citizenship, we naturally question the benefits received on ourside of this process of alien education. The practice of wholesalealtruism, however commendable in theory, will in no degree oom­p.ensate for any lowering of our civic standards. When a largeproportion of our immigrants' came from the United Kingdom,Germany, and the Scandinavian countries, we received and absorbedinto our national life people with whom we had a common stock ofancestry, and the benefit was mutual. Now, however, the countriesof southern and eastern Europe send us by far the greater numberof immigrants. The proportion of arrivals from Austro-Hungary,Russia, Italy, Greece, and the Balkan .countries is yearly increasing.While many of these people will make good citizens, they are bynature and occupation very different from our own countrymen,and generally of a lower type than the immigrants. from the north­ern countries. The Germans who settled in Illinois and Wisconsin,and the Scandinavians of Minnesota form one of the most stableelements 'Of the community, and the same may be said of a greatpart of the Bohemian settlement in Chicago. The problem of292THE SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP 293taking care of the Poles, Lithuanians, Russian Jews, Greeks, Bul­garians, and kindred nationalities, however, is harder to solve.A few figures will serve for emphasis. \ The Commissioner ofImmigration gives the net immigration, that is, the plurality ofimmigration over emigration, for the years since 1899 as more thanfive millions. The federal census of 1900 gives the number ofpeopleof foreign birth in Chicago as nearly 600,000. Our Chicagoschool census for 1908 gives the number of foreign-born Austrians,Bohemians, Italians, Poles, Russians, and natives of the Balkanstates as more than 240,000, and while it is not difficult to find grossinaccuracies in this census in its separation by nationalities, withoutdoubt the number of persons of foreign birth, in its enumeration,is not overstated.These thousands of foreigners are a part of our community.Many can neither read nor write their own language. Nearly allare poor and in many cases have made great sacrifices to reachwhat steamship agents have pictured as a land of financial inde­pendence. Their housing conditions and food are usually of theworst. Many of them are fit only for the most unskilled labor andfor that 'Only when they can work in gangs under a foreman whounderstands their language. The lowest type of foreign saloon isoften their only meeting-place. Working all day in the companyof men who speak no English and under a foreman who speaksno English to them, and returning at night to their homes in aforeign colony, as a great many of them do, their opportunitiesto get out 'Of the rut of unskilled labor to a more advanced con­dition of intelligence and employment are very few.Notwithstanding this they have capacity for good citizenshipwhich the community, if only for self-protection, must develop.Here self-protection and altruism walk hand in hand. The childrenof these people are native-born American citizens, whose parentsprobably cannot speak English and who, under present conditions,grow up in a foreign colony, How much of such foreign coloniza­tion can our cities endure without considerably lowering the socialand educational standards of our citizenship?The seriousness of the problem is recognized by the UnitedStates Commissioner of Immigration. On page 65 of his report for1907 he makes the following statement, which is reaffirmed in thereport for 1908:The Bureau's belief has been that the most important factor in thesolution of the immigrant problem consists of a remedy for the congestion294 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof foreign elements in our great cities, which congestion results in thepractical isolation of the aliens from the influences that ought to be exertedtoward their Americanization, beginning with the very moment they enterour gates. The "colonies" formed in such large cities as New York, Chicago,Boston, and Philadelphia are today the chief menace that grows out of theheavy influx of foreigners. To make Americans of the many aliens nowcoming to us, even in the second and third generation, they must be broughtinto contact with our own people and our own customs and methods ofliving. The physical, mental, and moral welfare of the aliens themselves, aswell as the interests of the communities, demand that they shall not bebrought from the small towns, the villages, hamlets, and even the farmsof Europe, and crowded into the tenements of our cities, where they meetconditions of life to which they are not accustomed, and where such diseasesand vices as exist among them are given every encouragement to developand spread.The federal government has taken one step to meet this prob­lem by 'Organizing the Division of Information and Distributionin the Bureau of Immigration. For a number of years the statisticsof immigration have shown that the vast majority of aliens havebeen destined to a few of our large centers of population. It isthe work of the Division to direct the stream of immigration asmuch as possible toward places where unskilled labor is needed,or districts where settlers 'are wanted. This is much needed workand undoubtedly will increase rapidly in scope and effectiveness.Our large cities, however, are facing the great task of absorb­ing their colonies 'Of foreigners into the community. No, socialagency is S'0 well-fitted to take up this work as the social settle­ment in the midst of a foreign population. Possessing in a largedegree the confidence of the people, won by years of fair dealingand helpful work, the settlement may begin such an undertakingwith some assuranoe of sympathy and understanding. Nowhereelse is the need for such work so fully appreciated. The residentsknow how foreign these aliens are, and how helpless in the hands ofsome political boss who delivers their votes to his own interests.Many are enfranchised before they know the difference betweenthe offices of alderman and governor.When the organization of this movement was planned in thefall of 1907, notices were sent particularly to the Poles and Lithu­anians. The first school of citizenship was started with aboutfifty members. As it became apparent that a working knowledgeof English was prerequisite to useful citizenship, the men wereTHE SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP 295divided into groups according to their previous education in theirown language, and their knowledge of English. These groupswere provided with teachers and met on two evenings of eachweek, The ages 'Of the men ranged from sixteen to' forty. It wassoon found that many of these were anxious to be naturalized andpreparation for that step was made a part of the regul:ar work,In their own language the men were given instructions in the ele­mentary principles and divisions of our government, and when theyshowed an understanding of naturalization they were taken to thenaturalization office and helped to obtain their first papers. Thiswork was carried on until the summer of 1908 with such assuranceof its practical value that in the fall of 1908 the school was re­organized on a larger plan.This year the total registration has been 18S, and the averageattendance about 90. There are six classes, ranging from a classfor those who know no English, to one in which the reading is notnecessarily confined to primers for adult foreigners. In the schoolare Lithuanians, Poles, Bohemians, Slavonians, Servians, Danes andGermans. The classes meet on three nights a week and the largerpart of the time is given to the study of English. The teachers arevolunteers' who are nearly all graduates of the University ofChicago. Joseph Varkala, '08, the Lithuanian resident of the Set­tlement, who speaks both Polish and Russian, has been indefatig­able in the management of the school.Twice a week the members of the school are given a short talkin their own language on the elementary principles of our civilgovernment, as applicable to themselves when they become voters.Once a month an entertainment is given, usually an illustratedlecture in Polish or Lithuanian on some question of particularinterest to these people. Five of these meetings have been heldthis year. On October 9, Chicago Day, a lecture was, given on thehistory of Chicago, its parks, and public buildings to' an audienceof about two hundred and fifty. On November 14 about threehundred attended a lecture on the beauty of America. On January16 a lecture on the use of public parks, playgrounds, and buildingscalled out an attendance of five hundred. A lecture on AbrahamLincoln was given on February 13 to three hundred people. OnMarch 13 the discovery of America, Washington and the Revolu­tion, were the subjects for the address.Since the organization of the school forty-one men have taken296 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEout their naturalization papers with its help. The school has acouncil composed of three representatives from each of the nation­alities represented. Altogether it is one of the most effective effortsof the Settlement to interpret its community and help them get thebest out of themselves, work which undoubtedly will be developedon a much larger scale in the future in many localities.The public night schools would be a most efficient agency in thiswork if they could be kept open longer and could teach elementarycivics as well as English. At present they do a great deal of good,but are overcrowded, open too short a time, and do not have a wideenough range of studies.It is significant of the capacity of these people for orderly, con­siderate behavior, that since the opening of the small park at DavisSquare, west of the Stock Yards, the hall and gymnasium and thepark have been used in a most careful manner, and nothing hasbeen broken or stolen. This park is used largely by the families ofthe non-English -speaking foreigners employed in the Yards. Theireagerness to become Americans is also shown in a typical incident.Several years ago the Polish National Alliance induced an ablePolish scholar to come to Chicago to lecture to' one of the Polishcolonies. The subjects of the lectures were chosen by vote of thePolish people and that chosen for the first lecture was "AmericanHistory," and for the second, "Constitutional History."The issue of the alien in our city life cannot be avoided andmust be met. It seems a problem important enough to engage theattention of a much larger part of the community than that whichat present considers it seriously. Certainly this part of settlementwork is good politics in the best sense of the word. It is only bysuch beginnings that larger agencies such as the public nightschools may be brought to' widen their teaching to a course whichis commensurate with the needs of the situation.INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE IN THEUNITED STATESUNDER the title given above the University of Chicago Presshas recently issued a volume of four hundred and thirtypages, the author being Professor Charles Richmond Henderson,Head of the Department of Ecclesiastical Sociology. It is in sub­stance an English version of Die Arbeiter-Versicherung in denVereinigten Staaten von N ord-America, published in Berlin in1907, although considerable new material has been added.The book is opened with a summary of European laws on indus­trial insurance. Chapter I discusses "The Extent and Nature ofthe Demand for a Social Policy of Industrial Insurance in theUnited States." In the following chapters some of the subjectsdiscussed are: "Local Relief Societies," "Benefit Features of theTrade Unions," "The Insurance of the Fraternal Societies," "TheEmployers' Liability Law," "Insurance Plans of Railway Corpo­rations," "Municipal Pension Systems and Pensions for Teachers."A hundred pages of important appendices inc:1ude a bibli­ography, the common carriers' law (federal), the f.ederal compensa­tion law, the Illinois bill, the Swift & Company plan, the Inter­national Harvester Company plan, plan of the Scottdale Iron andSteel Workers' Association, plan of the Studebaker Bros. Mfg.Company, and the plan of The University of Chicago Press MutualBenefit Association,In the final chapter the author discusses the economic possibilityof universal insurance and says:A few things may be suggested. The profit fund could carry a verylarge share of the burden, as shown by the fact that employers are marve­lously prosperous, and by the fact that even now, though in a very uncer­tain way, they set apart a vast sum for helping workmen in times ofdisability in the form of contributions to sickness funds, hospitals, phy­sicians, and gifts to families in distress, not to speak of taxes for publicrelief and enormous costs for casualty insurance and litigation, which isnow waste. The wages fund could bear a much heavier drain for insuranceif we can judge from the immense sums spent by workmen for objectswhich are destructive to health and morals. It is true that the unskilledworkmen have no margin for adequate insurance, and those who cannotsupply even the immediate necessities of existence can hardly be expectedto provide for the future without help from the profit fund and from con­sumers.297THE UNIVERSITY RECORDOn Tuesday evening, April 6, thethird of a series of informal dinnerswas held by members of the facul­ties of the University, for the pur­pose of discussing questions ofimprovement in undergraduate teach­ing. On this occasion about ninetymembers gathered in the Hutchinsoncafe to hear an address by Mr.Abraham Flexner on "College Peda­gogy." Mr. Flexn�r is a repr:esenta­tive of the Carnegie Foundation forthe Improvement of. Teaching and. isjust now engaged In a critical 111-vestigation of professional sc?o?ls,having previously made a slmt1�rinvestization of colleges as a basisfor . h� well-known book entitledThe American College.In his address Mr. Flexner setforth the remarkable changes whichhave taken place with respect to thefunctions of the college and thedemands upon the college teacheralive to the increased significanceof the sciences and the great broad­eninz of the curriculum in otherresp�cts, the wide adoption of theelective system, the spread of theresearch spirit, and the developmentof the real American university.While he in no wise depreciated re­search he maintained that its presentinflue�ce upon college teaching isoften bad. For example, the in­structor who realizes that his onlyor chief hope of promotion is condi­tioned upon the amount of spacewhich he can fill in the researchjournals, has little ti�-e to' give tothe improvement of hIS teaching an.dis far too likely to look upon hISclasswork as a necessary evil.

Long before that timehe should join the great trek Chi­cagoward. June IS will be one ofthe biggest days in the Universityyear, marking both Convocation Dayand Alumni Day, which this year arecombined into one great festival.In December, 1908, the ExecutiveCommittee decided to celebrateAlumni Day on Convocation Day.Many business men urged thechange, finding it impracticable toleave their work for Alumm Day onSaturday, and again for the Convo­cation on the following Tuesday.This year's plan is an experimentwhich calls for the hearty supportof every alumnus to make the re­union the best in the history of theAssociation.The Convocation 'exercises are setfor II o'clock. The Universityluncheon wi11last till about 2 o'clock.From that time on the day will begiven over to the alumni. The gen­eral schedule already completed in­cludes the following events:3 P. M.-Alumni track meet andbaseball game on Marshall Field.4 P. M.-Class reunions on thecampus.5 P. M.-Band concert at the CBench.6 P. M.-The alumni dinner inHutchinson Hall, including the annualbusiness meeting, the welcoming ofthe class of 1909 and ten-minute talks.9 P. M.-Alumni dance in the Rey­nolds Club.Theodore B. Hinckley, '04, ischairman of the day and the class of1904 will have general charge of theprogramme. Assisted by a committeecomposed of Arthur Leroy Young,Leo Wormser, Oliver Wyman, Ar­thur Lord, and Edward Ferris, hehas been interesting alumni in theforthcoming events. Subsidiary com­mittees from the different classes will work this month on arrange­ments for the day.A group of loyal Chicago alumniwho have their offices in the loopdistrict of Chicago met at luncheonon Saturday, April 17, in the Unionrestaurant and started the ball roll­ing for a series of alumni luncheons,to be held every Saturday from12 : 30 to 2 o'clock in the grill roo.msof the city clubs. The first meetingbrought out an enthusiastic numberof Chicago men. The sentiment �asunanimous that the forthcommgshould be the best and most suc­cessful ever held on the campus.Alumni in Chicago are urged toattend the weekly luncheons, the placeof which can be found out by com­municating with any member of theExecutive Committee or by telephon­ing the secretary. The "get-together"meetings will do much to arouseinterest among a large alumni bodywhich otherwise cannot keep in touchwith the work of the committee.The slogan of the meetings is "Bringyour classmates." This process ofpersonal communication reaches alarge number not so 'easily interestedby letter.The alumnae of the iTniversitycan do much work along the samelines as' that being done by the men.The chief results are expected fromthe Chicago Alumnae Club, whichnow is a strong organization ofwomen graduates resident in Chi­cago. Special meetings a re to beheld to develop plans for the day.The women's movement, however,will not be limited to a group but allwho can be ccmmunicated with willbe enlisted.I t is most important of all thatthe alumni respond promptly to thenotices announcing the annual dinner.This year it will be held in the Uni­versity Commons at 6: 30 o'clock andwill include the annual business meet­ing. The secretary must know a weekbefore exactly how many to pre­pare for, in order to avoid a deficit.308 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAlumni who do not respond to theannouncements and then expect toattend the dinner probably will notfind a place reserved for them. Itis absolutely necessary that Mr. T. L.Barrel, manager of the Commons,know a good while before the dinnerhow many people he is to serve, andthe Association 'cannot incur the riskof running into debt by making anestimate from appearances. Thenotices must be responded to with­out delay. On account of the in­creased interest in this year's ar­rangements it is expected that thecrowd will be very large.According to the new plan theaddresses at the dinner will not par­take of the formal nature of thelast few years but will be interestingsketches, five to ten minutes long,taking up a short time after theannual business meeting, which isto follow directly on the dinner. Itis believed that a reunion partakingof no formalities will please moreuniformly than a dinner with setspeeches.Alumni also should signify as earlyas possible their intention to attendon Alumni Day to Mr. Hinckley, inorder that the names may be takeninto account in arranging for thenumberless attractions the Committeehas up its composite sleeve. Empha­sis is being laid upon the unique andunusual. The athletic meet will bereplete with sensations. The longdistance Marathon, the Olympicgames, the Hippodrome and thefeats of skill are only a part of themany good things that will be an­nounced from time to time. Sothorough will be the arrangementsof the committee that even the spec­tators will be numbered, and thecheerleaders of former years willhave their places before the grand­stand to lead the cheering as in daysof old.Alumni will be accorded everycourtesy on the part of the Uni­versity. Applications for tickets tothe Convocation have always beenhonored and it is probable thatarrangements will be made foraccommodating a larger body ofalumni than heretofore. The Uni­versity luncheon will not interfere in any way with the alumni dinner-both are important Universityfunctions that will serve to empha­size the scope of the University'Sactivities.Convocation Day and Alumni Daymean one big Chicago Day foralumni, the graduating class, theundergraduates, and all departmentsof the University. It will be amatter of pride to every alumnus thathis share in the festivities has con­tributed effectively to the generalsuccess.THE ALICE FREEMAN PALMERBELLSIn the near future the Universitycommunity will enjoy the threeforms of bell ringing planned forthe A lice Freeman Palmer bells. Aswas explained at the time of theirdedication the bells will be rung inthree ways: A clock made by theboys of the Chicago Manual Train­ing School, now a part of the U ni­versity High School, will ring the\1\1 estminster quarters; by means ofchiming apparatus one person is en­abled to ring tunes, and Englishchange-ringing will be maintained assoon as a suitable ringing band hasbeen organized. The developmentof these forms has been long delayedbecause of the condition of theringing-room in the tower. Thisroom has now been finished in keep­ing with the rest of the TowerGroup. An exhibition case cleverlyequipped with devices for maintain­ing an equable temperature for theclock works has been installed; thechiming apparatus has been fixed;and the ringing ropes are in position.From this time forward it is likelythat the University community willenj oy all three forms of ringing.The cIock, because of the inabilityof the architects to include a dial inthe face of the Mitchell Tower, willsound the time, instead of indicatingits passage on a clock face. Theclock has been ready for some time;and its case is now completed. TheUniversity awaits therefore its in­stallation by Mr. Earl B. Ferson, ofthe University High School, who hasDISCUSSION AND COMMENTsupervised the making of the clocksince its inception.At 10: 30 each chapel morning thebells are chimed for five minutes;on Sundays tunes are played from10 :30 to 10 :45. From 5: 55 to. 6 :05in the afternoon the bells are chimedto mark the completion of the Uni­versity working day. Each holidaywill be marked by chiming at noon.Alice Freeman Palmer's birthday,February 21, will be regularlymarked by the chiming, at mid-day, ofthe hymn composed by Mrs. Palmer.Considerable difficulty has beenmet with in finding melodies suitedto the ten bells. Those interestedin the subj ect will contribute muchto the happiness of all within thesound of the bells by composing ortranscribing suitable melodies forten notes-from E-flat to G abovethe octave in the scale of E-flat.Genuine bell ringers, such as arefound in every hamlet in England,regard change-ringing as the onlylegitimate exercise upon bells. Inchange-ringing there must he a manat each bell rope; each man mustbe thoroughly trained; not only tohandle his bell, but to keep his placein the sequence as the bells are rung.When one considers that upon eightbells 40,320 changes can be rung;upon nine bells 362,880, and upon tenbells 3,628,800, one can very wellsee that accuracy in method is essen­tial in every ringer.When it became known that a pealof bells would be hung in MitchellTower, some twenty-two expertringers of England expressed theirdesire to come to this 'Country toring the Chicago bells. Three menactually did seek employment inChicago, so that for their recreationthey might engage in ringing.Three other ringers were found inthe city. These men made up thefirst band to practice upon the bells.Every Saturday evening from 7: 30to 8: 30 these men practiced, untilthe ringing-room had to be sur­rendered to the decorators and car­penters. The first record of a pealupon the bells was made Saturday,November 21, 1908, when upon sixbells a peal of Plain Bob Minor, con­stituting 720 changes, was rung in twenty-six minutes. The ringerswere: Ben Read, treble; Bert Cowl­ing, second; Norman Wakefield,third; Fred Barraclough, fourth; F.Rumens, fifth; George Barraclough,tenor. The peal was conducted byGeorge Barraclough. It is to behoped that members of the Uni­versity may soon have an opportunityto learn the management of the bellsand to practice change-ringing, sothat on great occasions the bells mayspeak our joy.THE UNIVERSITY CLUBThe organization and successfulmanagement of university clubs inthe leading cities of the ·United.States, is a credit to any communityof college men, but the recent estab­lishment of the University Club ofChicago in its new home on Michi­gan A venue is an achievement thatstands out as a strong endorse­ment of the college spirit of westernmen. It should be a matter of prideto the University public to knowthat University of Chicago. alumnihave. had no small part in makingpossible the new building, thebeautiful twelve-story home of col­legiate Gothic, so well known throughits use in the buildings of the Uni­versity.The cost of the new clubhousewas over one million dollars. I t isregarded by architects as a triumphin that pleasing Byzantine Gothicwhich only in rare instances has beendeveloped in buildings rising higherthan the fifth story. I t is built ofgray Bedford stone, which gives ita distinction on the lake front, andeffectively sets it off from the brickand dark stone of the adj oiningbuildings. Even when its gray shallhave become darkened by the sootand dust of a great city, its softlines will stand out in wonderfulcontrast to the inharmonious archi­tecture of adj oining office structures.The architects 'for the buildingwere Holabird & Roche, and thedecorators were Frederick Clay Bart­lett and Otto Heinigke. I t will beremembered that Mr. Bartlett paintedthe beautiful mural decorations inBartlett Gymnasium.310 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Gothic style has been carriedout to the smallest detail. One ofthe most interesting rooms in thebuilding is the dining-room on theninth floor, planned in sever e Gothic,with a length of 86� feet by 43 feet.The distance from the floor to thecrest of the arch and groined ceil­ing is 36 feet, 7 inches. The designis copied from Crosby Hall, London,but the room is larger than the Hall.There are five pendants from thegroined roof. The walls, to theheight of 2I feet, where thebases of the groined arches arereached, are of Bedford stone. Theroom is lighted from three sidesthrough great mullioned windows.The lower panes are of clear glass,and the upper ones leaded, the colorsgrowing darker toward the top ofthe windows, thus giving a dim, mel­low light in the upper part of thehall. College Hall on the eighthfloor will be used for dinners, smok­ers, and meetings of alumni associa­tions. I t is paneled to the ceiling,which is plastered and divided intopanels by heavy beams of oak. Thelibrary is also located on the eighthfloor, and is Elizabethan in style.Here, also, the Gothic influence hasbeen maintained. The beautifulmantels remind one of similar man­tels in the Reynolds Club.At present about seventy-fivegraduates of the University of Chi­cago are joined with the graduatesof all the great universities of thecountry in building up the Univer­sity Club.STUDENT APPRECIATION OF ARTCommenting on the fact that everyseat was not taken at the concertgiven by the Theodore ThomasOrchestra in the Leon MandelAssembly Hall on the afternoon ofApril I3, Georgie Pullen Jackson,'04, writes in the Maroon:In Chicago, where our progressivegait is elastic on account of ourabounding energy and our emancipa­tion from the hampering bonds of tra­dition, we dare and do many thingswhich are impossible in older andmore rigid surroundings. For in- stance we bid a symphony orchestra,of a standing which is recognized inthe musical world as being of the high­est, to come for a series of concerts,at a time, place, and price peculiarlysuited to our circumstances as stu­dents,It comes, and-strange to relate-isconfronted with large areas of emptyseats. Our students are not there.••.• Perhaps these magnificent con­certs are so near our doors in such anideal theater, and at such availableprices, that we have ceased to prizethem.Mr. Jackson's comment brings upthe reason for the difference betweenthe patronage at a concert at theUniversity of Chicago, and at anyother university in the middle West,where halls are overcrowded onevery occasion of this kind. On theface of it, it would seem impossibleto conceive anything more astound­ing than the spectacle of one of thegreatest orchestras playing at a uni­versity to a house three-quarters full.It might argue a woeful lack ofunderstanding on the part of thestudents-a strange indifference toculture in its highest form. Yetsuch a criticism would be harsh andunjust.If statistics could be prepared, theyprobably would show Chicago stu­dents spending a large sum of moneyfor good music. The grand operaseason calls out the inter€St of alarge body of music lovers. TheOrchestra concerts, the recitals byeminent musicians, the concerts ofChicago musical organizations-allreceive their share of Universitypatronage throughout the year.'When one considers the plethora ofopportunities that surround Chicagostudents, the criticism must be cen­tered on their lack of discrimination.It is undoubtedly true that here,as elsewhere, students spend much oftheir time in pleasures which leaveno lasting good. They attend playsthat are ephemeral and without virtueeven as entertainment. In order toappreciate some of them, the col­lege-bred man has to stoop down.The lesson he has to learn is thatof proper discrimination; of findingOtU that he can educate himself upto his pleasures.CORRESPONDENCE[The University of Chicago Magazine welcomes letters from graduates, faculty, and studentson University topics. Correspondence should beat the signature of the writer. The Magazineis not responsible for opinions expressed in contributions.]A MOTTO FROM THE "AENEID"Editor of the Magazine:Sir: How would the followingadaptation of Virgil's Aeneid, BookII, lines 604-6 do for a motto forthe new University of Chicago seal?"N ubem, quae mortales habetal visus,eripiam."MARY H. CURTISS, '05Crown Point, Ind.A MOTTO SUGGESTION FROMBERLINEditor of the Magazine:Sir: In selecting a motto anddesign for our University let uschoose something distinctly Ameri­can. My Americanism is no doubtintensified by my being abroad, butlet us not go back to the classics, norborrow pots and pans from ourneighbors as Stanford has done bychoosing a German motto; we haveenough of our own, our language andliterature being the richest of alltime. If we take, "The truth shallmake us free," let us make it moreemphatic by shortening it to "Truthmakes us free," or "Truth is free­dom." American pluck is well ex­pressed in Browning's "Home­Thoughts from the Sea" by thewords, "We fall to rise." How would"Higher, Higher, Higher!" do, morestrongly punctuated if desired?Let us depend upon our own re­sources, and have nothing that wasever used before.If we must have something notEnglish and puzzling let 11S still beAmericans and take something fromthe Indians. We appreciate most ineach nation the characteristic thingspertaining to it; beyond our Ameri­can spirit and ideals the Indian isthe most original thing we have topresent to the world. Indian ideasare crude, but poetical and mythical,and their rude dress, tents, canoes, and war implements are most pictur­esque. To have the seal designedwith Indian setting, and our mottoin picture writing, I think, would beunique and interesting; in that event,perhaps, we would be obliged to putthe translation under the motto. TheIndian word Chicago might be in­corporated in the design.The Mazamar, a mountain climb­ing club of the West, has an Indianmotto, the literal translation of whichis "vVe go away high up."I cannot urge too strongly mydesire that our seal shall be first ofall American, not classical, notforeign. Let us match our strengthin this matter with ages past, thepresent age, and ages to come.NETTIE SPENCER, '99.Berlin, Kleist Str. IICHICAGO INFLUENCE IN CHINAEditor The Magazine:Sir: I want to tell you brieflyof Hangchow and of the work herein educating the women and girls.Hangchow, a coast city a littlesouth of Shanghai, is described byMarco Polo as one of the mostbeautiful and prosperous cities ofhis time. Some of the things hedescribes are still here for us toenj oy and admire, but others havevanished or undergone greatchanges. _The old city wall fortyor fifty feet wide, with turrets andwatch towers, gates and moats,makes the ancient and mediaevalwar tales vivid, indeed. WestLake just outside the city wall isas beautiful as ever while many ofits interesting- features still survivethe ages, notably an old pagoda onethousand years old, and the im­perial palace (as this was formerlythe southern capital) now used asa library by the officials of the city.Inside the city, the Great Street, thebusiness center, is as gay as for-3II312 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmerly with variegated banners andsigns, while within the stores, openon one side to the street, the mer­chants are as busy and as polite aswhen Marco Polo called attentionto it as a prosperous business place.At present the old ancient city israpidly passing away as one west­ern innovation after another is in­troduced-railroads, telephones, andstores with foreign goods. Butmost noticeable and ludicrous in thistransition period is the adoption ofarticles of western dress with noreference whatever to the eternalfitness of things. And so we maysee a man coming down the streetwith a pair of farmer's cowhideboots protruding from beneath anankle-length, sky-blue silk gown; ora girl coming to school with boys'heavy shoes over her white socksand beneath her gaily flowered,ankle-length trousers.The education of men has beenchanged within the last few years,by imperial decrees, from the oldexamination system to one of west­ern type. But great as this changeis, a greater has come and is comingin regard to the education of womenand girls. The girls until recentlyhave had no education whatever,and even now it is astonishing tosee the women in official houseswho cannot even read. I heard one,the wife of an official widelytraveled in America and Europe,say mournfully, "It's impossible tolearn to read Chinese charactersafter one is thirty." This is thewail of the high-class women ofChina, and in consequence of sucha realization of their lack we havehad many of these young marriedwomen ask if they might not be ad­mitted to our girls' school. Thedesire for education of women isnow being pressed from all sides,not only by the women and girlswho desire it so much, but by thegovernment, and by the youths whoare demanding educated wives. Inour school there are some girlsw hose expenses are being paid bytheir future fathers-in-law, theirown families not seeing the neces­sity of thus equipping their daugh­ters.In Hangchow, a city of a mil- lion or more. inhabitants, there arebesides the American and Englishschools (six in number), severalgovernment schools. These areprivate schools and accommodateonly a limited number of pupils.There is evidently money being putinto it, for buildings and equipment,maps, charts, gymnasiums, and thelike are good but courses of studyand teaching are inferior accordingto our standards. But they havetaken a long step and we hope to beable to help them by supplying someof these schools with trained com­petent teachers, Chinese graduatesfrom our school. The governmenthas just issued another edict re­questing the governors of provincesto advance education of women intheir respective districts.MARY A. NOURSE '05Wayland Academy,Hangchow, ChinaPENNSYLVANIA'S NEW HYMNA feature of the celebration ofWashington's birthday at the Uni­versity of Pennsylvania, when Presi­dent-elect Taft addressed thestudents, was the singing of thenew Pennsylvania hymn, "Ave Penn­sylvania," recently composed by Dr.S.

The FaithHealer reminds one of Ibsen and Maeter­linck; evidently Mr. Moody has profited by aclose study of the continental masters. Thestory is simply and strongly told in four 'actsthat take place in the same room. UlrichMichaelis, a mysterious man from the south­western mesas has joined the household ofMatthew Beeler, a New Englander whoseantipathy to healing by faith is marked.Michaelis is there to heal Mrs. Beeler, whois in sympathy with his work. He falls inlove with Mrs. Beeler's niece and finds hispower for healing weakened by his love. Thecrisis of the play depicts his attempt to healthe sick who come to him when his power hasgone. Only the knowledge that the girl her­self has erred and needs his help brings backhis power and in the last act he triumphs,restoring to life the child of a young motherwho had come to him in her distress.The play is remarkable for the concise,- direct dialogue, which eliminates all non­essentials. The first act has many speechesof from two to four words in length, and thewhole act is less than 1,200 words long. Themysterious air that envelopes the faith heareris accentuated by the· presence of a negrowho brings forward the superstitions of hispeople, and by the aversion of a little child,the servants and Beeler himself to Michaelis'personality. The attitude of the medical worldand the clergy to the new faith movementis. pictured in the good-natured banter of Dr.George Littlefield and the antipathy shown bythe Rev. John Culpepper. The Faith Healerwas given its first production this season.The book is published by Houghton, Mifflin& Co.Continued on �dver�isi�g pag� 14Say "UNIVERSITY OP CHICAGO MAGAZINE" to the advertisers-12-Organ recital duringdining hours Fine view of cityand lake�t+ �ub£rt<!eng1t�l) <5rtll taoom22 Quincy Street, ChicagoTop floor Hotel Majestic Tel.
