BEMIS.A prominent leader of organized labor in Illinoiswas recently deploring the ignorance and corruptionof many labor leaders. and the lack at present of suit­able material for wise leadership among our wage­earners. After criticising each of the so-called learnedprofessions in turn as hardly likely to supply what wasneeded, my friend thought a strong impulse in theright direction could be given by thoroughly trainedUniversity men, if they would only devote themselvesto some extent to the work. An Eastern clergyman,. in a letter just received, urges the same thing.Certainly nothing can be more broadening and hu­manizing than for the. graduate student to accompanyor finish his class-room work in economics, sociologyor political science, with some close personal contactwith the great problems of a city like Chicago. It isthe best city for such work to-day in America. Hereis, probably, the future storm-center of the country.Here great problems demand, wise, courageous solu­tions more than anywhere else. Yet where class an­tagonisms are so great, there is likelihood that thebroad-minded student will not very fully please eitheremployer or wage-earner.Last month a gentleman who had devoted overtwenty years to almost exclusive study of socialproblems in Europe and America, closed a two­months study of conditions in the city with the con­viction that the time thus spent by him had been byfar the most fruitful to him educationally of any simi­lar period of his life.Admitting the importance of the field and the callto us as students, owing a duty to our fellows to helpthem solve the problem as here presented, how are weto proceed? The student should seek to know personally asmany trade-union leaders as possible. He should tryto discover their points of view and learn from themhow their unions are actually managed, and how thecurrent objections of the rest of society to some oftheir methods are treated by them. To get thisacquaintance, it is well to appear, at least for the timebeing, to sympathize with these men. No. one canproperly study a movement without for the time beingputting himself in the attitude of mind of those thatare in the movement. "The heart lying dead the eyecannot see," was a very true remark of Carlyle's. Ofcourse, after such a period of affiliation with a specialschool of thought, one must take again a different stand­point before drawing final conclusions. No one, how­ever, can properly appreciate the influence of theCatholic church who cannot listen with pleasure to thegrand Gregorian chant and feel the mystery and aweof the cathedral service; nor can one study slaveryvery truly without some sojourn in the south, andsome appreciation of the point of view of some of thebest slave-owners of antebellum days. It would bewell for the student of social problems to attend meet­ings and conventions of.1abor organizations wheneverpracticable, not even refusing to address such bodies,and perhaps seeking such opportunities in a humbleway, when one has anything to say.One should read some of the best labor papers, suchas the American Federationist, the Cleveland Citizen,and the journals of some of the best single trade­unions, such as those published by the carpenters, theprinters, the cigarmakers, the locomotive engineersand firemen, and the American Railway Union. Itis exceedingly interesting and important to inquire of462 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.the most influential men among our wage-workerswhat books have most impressed them and are mostread by them. Such books, whether they be the writ­ings of Karl Marx, Professor Ely, Henry George orothers, should be carefully studied. Intimate ac­quaintance should also be sought with the factoryinspectors, and with business and professional men,in order that the subject may be studied from allsides.The confessions which the latter classes will oftenmake of their relations or those of their friends to theassessor, city council and state legislature, will ex­plain much of existing social discontent, and whymen like Rev. Washington Gladden are saying:"Well, Debs is in prison. Perhaps that is right.Why are not some of the Atchison -and other corpora­tion directors there, too? " From business men, too,we may learn the undoubted evils that go with thegood in the trade-unions of the city.The social settlement is of great interest in thiswork; for one of the best features, when properly di­rected, is in giving to the residents, even though theybe but temporarily at the settlement, an. opportunityfor studying the real life of the people and gaining anacquaintance with their leaders. One can get verylittle, or do very little good, however, if he connectshimself with one of these settlements for the sake ofhelping" those people." Rather one must considerthe settlement neighbors as his own neighbors andfriends with whom we are to co-operate in all usefulways. If one attempts to study social problems inthis way, he or she will find the intimate connectionbetween the labor question and the monopoly question,and the relation of both to corrupt municipal and stategovernment and to the lack of personal character.One may even agree with Justice Brown, of the UnitedStates Supreme. Court, when he recently told thegraduates at the Yale Law School commencement that"Universal suffrage, which it was confidently supposedwould inure to the benefits of the poor man, is soskilfully manipulated as to rivet his chains, and tosecure to the rich a predominance in politics never en­joyed under a restricted system. Probably in no coun­try in the world is the influence of wealth more potentthan in this, and in no period of our history has itbeen more powerful than now. So far as such influ­ence is based upon superior intelligence, and is ex­erted for the public good, it is doubtless legitimate;so far as it is used to secure to wealth exceptionalprivileges, to trample upon the rights of the public, tostifle free discussion or to purchase public opinion bya subsidy of the press, it invites measures of retalia­tion which can scarcely fail to be disastrous."One may find that though many economic changesare needed, the greatest need at present in most of ourwestern cities is an ethical revolution-less reverence for the dollar, more reverence for the man in bothhigh and low.We have to learn the element of truth in the recentremark of Percy Alden, of Mansfield House, London,when among us : "Through self-interest society cameinto existence, and through its annihilation it willcontinue." Probably we can never annihilate self­interest, nor would we want to; but if I mistake not,a sympathetic study of our social problems in the wayabove indicated will convince everyone that loss ofself-interest and more of altruism on the part of all ofus, joined with a revival of Puritan righteousness andcourage, are the need of the hour. .As a final observation let it be noted that the uni­versity man is easily fitted, from his supposedly broadfoundation of culture, to avoid being led away by anyone of the numerous panaceas which from time totime absorb the minds of narrow leaders and capturethe public ear. It is not alone small families, orgreater individual thrift, as the Malthusian hastaught, or even the Aladdin Cooker of our friendAtkinson, or the single tax, or the free coinage ofsilver, or prohibition, or free trade, or trade unionism,or socialism, that is needed, but probably something ofseveral of these and of other ideas will find place, to­gether with a higher ethical sense in the philosophyof social reform that may result from the practicalstudies above indicated.We shall be ready then to take the stand of theGerman Emperor William, when about to initiate thegreat system of government insurance now developingso wonderfully. After listening over and over againto the objections to any policy of aiding the masses,he ended the matter with the remark, "I have heardenough of this' I can't do anything." We will try."Sketch of Morgan Park Academy.The Morgan Park Academy, the preparatory schoolof the University, is situated eight miles southwest ofthe University in the pleasant village of Morgan Park.Morgan Park is about thirteen miles south of the cityhall, and is connected with the city by two railroads,the Rock Island and the Chicago Central. It ischiefly built on the only hill near Chicago and it ison the ridge of this hill that the Academy buildingsare located. The slopes of this hill are still coveredwith the native forest and elsewhere the streets arelined with cultivated trees which afford abundantshade.The Academy buildings are six in number: BlakeHall, Morgan Hall, Park Hall, the Library, theLaboratory and the Gymnasium. The Central build­ing is Blake Hall, which is used as the general recita­tion building. It contains seven large class-rooms, acommodious chapel, offices and a few students' r:ooms,UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.North of Blake Hall and across the street is MorganHall. a three-story building used as the boys' dormi­tory. These two buildings were built by the BaptistTheological Union for their seminary founded here in1877. They cost $30,000 and $35,000 respectively,and when the seminary became the Divinity school ofthe University and was removed to Chicago, thesebuildings passed into the hands of the University andwere put to their present use. Among the membersof the seminary faculty were many now professors atthe University, and in the room now used as theGreek recitation room of the Academy Professor JamesR. Boise taught Greek for fourteen years. Near Mor­gan Hall on the east is another building erected bythe Theological Union at a cost of $ I 5,000 and nowwell equipped as a physical and chemical laboratory.Across the street to the east is the Academy library.This building was originally presented to the villageof Morgan Park, by George C. Walker, now one of thetrustees of the University. The library has recentlybeen transferred to the University in consideration offive full and ten half scholarships available to stu­dents+resident in Morgan Park. It contains a care­fully selected collection of 35,000 volumes. Oneblock south of Blake Hall is Park Hall, the girls'dormitory. This building was formerly occupied bythe Illinois Military Academy, an institution estab­lished here in 1873, whose head was Col. S. S. Nor­ton. The cost of the building was $4°,000. NearPark Hall is the Gymnasium, the last of the six build­ings. Morgan and Blake Hall afford accommodationsfor about one hundred boys, and Park Hall for thirty society (also a boys' society) at present enjoys thedistinction of being the only one of the three possess­ing a society hall. The Stephanotis is a girls' society,well conducted and profitable. Besides the literarysocieties there has existed during the past year theAcademy Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Ward­ner Williams' of the University, and the AcademyOrchestra under the direction of Mrs. G. N. Carman.The attendance at the Academy has been good, thegrowth steady and the outlook for the coming year isflattering.Professor Curry's Lectures.Professor S. S. Curry, Ph.D., reached the Univer­sity Monday, and began his course of daily intro­ductory lectures. The announced list of subjects hasbeen somewhat changed, as will be seen by the follow­ing revised program:Tuesday, August 6, " Public Speaking; " Wednes­day, " The Voice in Teaching and Preaching;"Thursday, "Vocal Expression as a Means of Artisticand Literary Training; " Friday, " Principles of Ar­tistic Criticism."Mr. Curry is Dean of the School of Expression inBoston. He is much interested in all study of artand was one of the lecturers last winter at the Chi­cago Art Institute. His school in Boston received 'ascholarship, founded by Henry Irving and 'EllenTerry, who gave reading" at the school for that pur­pose. There are very few men in this country whoare better authorities on elocution than ML Curry,and fewer still who can equal him as an instructor inthis art. His classes during the second term promiseto be very large. 463young women.The Academy began its instruction in 1892 withProfessor 1. B. Burgess as acting dean. During theyear George Noble Carman was elected dean and en­tered upon his duties in 1893. He has filled the posi­tion most acceptably and has endeared himself to allthe students. He now leaves to become the principalof the Lewis Institute and will be succeeded by Pro­fessor Charles H. Thurber, formerly of Colgate Uni­versity. The other instructors of the Academy areIsaac B. Burgess, Associate Professor of Latin; RobertH. Cornish, Assistant Professor of Natural Scienceand Registrar; Frank M. Bronson, Assistant Professorof Greek; Luanna.

He said that it is the duty of the University toundertake the study of pedagogy, because, first, thesubject is so closely allied to philosophy and psychol­ogy; secondly, the problems of sociology and of ped­agogy are intimately connected; thirdly, the Univer­sity graduate student who expects to become a teachermust have special training for his future work, andthe University must offer this training for the highergrades of professional teaching.Lectures by rtr.

Many responses havealready been received and future issues will containmuch of literary interest. It is hoped, however, thatthe matter will not end here. There are many otherstudents capable of writing good articles, whose helpis' needed if the WEEKLY is to be made a paper ofliterary value.THE important position of the Divinity School asa department of the University is not alwaysfully. appreciated. The Divinity School washere long before the University proper was founded.It was stipulated in the terms of Mr. Rockefeller's sec- ond subscription that the theological seminary atMorgan Park be moved to the University site and be­come the Divinity School of the University. It is wellknown that some of our most prominent athletes areDivinity students. The second issue of the WEEKLYfor the fall quarter will be a fully illustrated Divinitynumber.NEARLY one hundred students are registeredthis quarter from schools south of Mason andDixon's line. The annual register just issuedshows that the membership of the University for theyear past has included representatives from eve�yState in the Union, from Alaska, and from thirteen for­eign countries. Four come from Germany, two fromMexico, five from Russia, five from Scandinavia, sevenfrom England and twenty-nine from Canada. Theseitems are evidence that the University, while alwaysknown as such in the fullest sense, is extending its in­fluence to every part of this country and to every nookwhere the word" knowledge U is known.MANAGER BAIRD, of the University of Michi­gan football eleven, has relinquished his planof beginning training with a large number ofrecruits in northern Michigan, before the universityopens in the fall. Stagg and Allen have been view­ing the situation and prospects here carefully. Theformer will return to Chicago this week from his sum­mer vacation, and it is expected that training will bebegun immediately. Statements about the compo­sition of the team are at this writing uncertain.Many changes will be made. New men are coming,many of them with flattering records, and it may atleast be asserted that the 'Varsity eleven of '95 will bestronger than we have ever before had.THE Midway Plaisance covered with gay float­ing crafts, and the University of Chicago boatcrew in victorious competition with the repre­sentative oarsmen of other schools, was a dream oncefondly cherished by the early members of the Univer­sity; but the dream has faded without realization.The park commissioners changed their plans in whichso many aspirations had had a source, and decidednot to construct a waterway from the lake to Wash­ington Park.

The lake is manifestly too uncertain inweather to permit any regular outside rowing, butit may be that, with what advantages there are inthe south basin of Jackson Park, a beginning couldbe made toward establishing. an University boat club.It is possible that some future time, after all landcompetitors of every degree are vanquished, the ma­roon. may seek other worlds to conquer upon thewatery deep.GOVERNOR ALTGELD is trying to raise atrust fund among the rich men of Illinois,for the benefit of needy and worthy studentsin the State University at Champaign. He states itas his belief that there are many young men in thestate, poor but ambitious, and endeavoring to supportthemselves, who have industry and strength of char­acter, and who may be counted upon to make suc­cessful men. It is the general impression that highereducation thrives best when farthest removed fromthe tender mercies of the government. Few stategovernors, fortunately, care to bother with universityaffairs. This action of the governor of Il linoisis of arare kind and worthy of all commendation.THE extended visit of Principal Fairbairn thisterm, and the large number of scholarly lect­ures which he has delivered, have given us avery fair glimpse of the style of thinking that prevailsin one of the great universities of Europe. Withoutquestion we are continually in contact with Europeansystems of thought, through our various professorsand instructors. Indeed, it may be said that to studywith an American who has studied in Europe hassome advantages over going to Europe to study.American habits of thought differ so greatly fromEuropean, that it is, in some respects, an improvementto have the results of Old World research conven­iently transferred into a form more easily apprehended.At the same time we cannot see or hear too much ofEuropean scholars. Mr. Fairbairn was accorded afull hearing, in the large numbers of people, bothwithin and without the University, who attended hislectures. N ext term two other distinguished menwill come among us, to impart their inspiration. Pro­fessor Alexander Balmain Bruce, D. D., professoriallecturer in Apologetics, has a world-wide reputationthrough his valuable contributions to theological lit­erature. He comes from the Free Church College, 465Glasgow, in which he holds the position of Professorof Apologetics and New Testament Exegesis. It iswell said of him that he "represents the best type ofmodern biblical scholarship." Dr. Casper Rene Greg­ory, of the University of Leipsic, is an American bybirth. He is a graduate of the University of Penn­sylvania and later of Princeton Theological Seminary.His capabilities in all departments of biblical litera­ture are very well known in this line of research.His special- study, however, has been with the oldestNew Testament manuscripts, and in the knowledgeof these, from actual observation, he has few equals.The University is exceedingly fortunate in havingthis opportunity of a personal acquaintance withthese men.A Letter From Colorado.I remember that I almost promised the very courte-,ous and modest editor of the WEEKLY that I wouldmake some report to him of what I should find hereduring my stay at the Summer School.First of all, as to the school itself. That has had asudden remarkable expansion in point of members inattendance. I was led to suppose that my own classmight perhaps number twenty or thirty; it does infact number some two hundred. The whole school issaid to have enrolled more than six hundred. Theinterest exhibited is, I judge, correspondingly great.The town with a population of 12,000 contains anunusually choice society. I have never anywhere en­countered more culture, social and intellectual, than Imeet here. The Summer School management enter­tain the members of their faculty in some of the mostelegant as well as most hospitable houses of the city.Nothing could be more delightful than the welcomewe enj oy in these cultured and charming households.The mountains, at morn, across a stretch of greenvalley to the west, are a constant refreshment to theeye and to the imagination. Pike's Peak is the onlysummit that shows white with snow; and that, lofty asit is, some 14,000 feet above sea level, has by nomeans the crystal glittering aspect which dazzles youin Alpine pinnacles of the same height. But thewhole great ridge presents very noble and satisfyingforms against the pure sky. As the sun sinks fromthe meridian to the west, the shadows fading into themighty gorges that corrugate the mountain sidessoften the bareness which frowns thence somewhatforbiddingly upon you in the morning, and shed a:finely idealizing atmosphere and tone over the wholemajestic display.The mornings here are almost invariably brilliantin the extreme.

The trees, how­ever, are mostly cottonwood and far from ideallybeautiful. 'I'he.recommendation of the species is thatit flourishes in this climate, being indigenous here,and that it is of quick growth. Tufts of their cottonare constantly sifting down through the air, and thelawns, close-matted and vivid turf as I ever saw, evenin England, are sometimes snowed almost white withthem.I� is interesting to see the irrigating conduits flow­ing flush with water from the mountains throughthe streets. Every week, I believe, the ground de-.voted to culture is overflowed, under the supervisionof the city authorittes. - Even now as I write this, Ihear the purling waters hurrying down CascadeAvenue to do their work of refreshment to growingthings wherever the hand of man shall direct them.I have made a few excursions-among these, one tothe summit of Pike's Peak and one to the" Garden ofthe Oods." The interest of this latter scene lies inthe singular and striking forms of rock left detachedand conspicuous where elemental forces have wornaway the substance of the strata round about them.These .curious rocks are, many of them, named accord­ing to the resemblances which, from certain points ofview, they are supposed to present to the human eye.The wit and humor of the names were often to mequite as interesting as the objects themselves. Visitorsto the spot lose more than half of what is there to beenjoyed, if they go without a guide able to give themthe names of the things they see, and that at exactlythe right point. I ventured myself to apply a nameto one rock surface which had not before been chris­tened. Our driver promised to do what he could toattach that name, which he flattered me by thinkingapt and descriptive, to the rock face in question. AskAllen Good to point out" Relief Map" to you. I.should Iike to know how faithful he will prove to hispromise.Do the WEEKLY readers realize that I am writingthese lines in an elegant wooden house standinghigher above sea level than the tops of Rigi Kulrn inSwitzerland-that such is the altitude. of ColoradoSprings?I ought to add a word as to the quality of thestudentship here. The students are mostly teachers.They come from all quarters of the West. I amstruck with the high average of culture and refine­ment observable among them. It augurs well for theeducational future of this vast new region of ourcountry. WILLIAM C. WILKINSON.Colorado Springs, July 30, I895. Communication From Mr. Lewis.EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY, Sir:_:_ Many of the re­ports of my recent Chautauqua lecture on " Our Eng­lish: Good and Bad," are so -inexact that I findmyself seriously misrepresented, and at the risk of in­curring a hateful notoriety I must refer again to thefacts in the matter. Your issue of July 25 containsan editorial based, apparently, on a false report.Your writer says that I have aroused much ire by mysevere criticisms of the English used by the dailypress, "and by arraigning the entire body of news­paper owners, as guilty of prostituting their columnsto sensation and gain."I wish categorically to deny that I said or in anyway implied" that the entire body of newspaper own­ers are guilty of prostituting their columns to sensa­tion and gain." What I did say amounted to this:That one tenth part of American newspaper ownersprostitute the sacred English tongue to the desire for" sensation." In ordinary conversation we shouldundersta�d one man out of ten as .meaning merely " a. very considerable number of men," but surely incon­siderable as regards the whole number. To accuse meof imputing to the entire body of owners such un­scrupulous motives, would, in an enemy', amount' toslander; in a friend like the WEEKLY, it is a mistakethat I'm sorry for, but will not in these days when it'sso hard to find really trustworthy reports of publiclectures-blame.My lecture touched on newspaper English, teachers'English, pulpit English, commercial English, and theEnglish of ed ucated people. Each of these types hasits merits and demerits. I praised in no equivocalterms the terseness and clearness of good newspaperEnglish. It should be taken as evidence of the im­partiality of my judgment, that I, a teacher, lamentedthe fact that the English of teachers is too often prig-gish. E. H.

The game was interestingfrom first to last and was closely watched by twelvehundred excited spectators. Oak Park society waswell represented, including a large number of thefairer sex.Murphy, who has resisted many tempting offersfrom Anson, shut the 'Varsity out for four innings,allowing them but three scattered hits. He was wellsupported by Field, who caught Priest at Cornell Uni­versity. In the fifth Sickles took his place and wasbatted for five runs in that inning and five more in the·ninth.Clarke, .for the 'Varsity, was in poor condition, andused his slow ball continually. Backed by good teamwork he kept the hits well scattered until the last twoinnings, when he was batted all over the field.The features of the game were the fielding of Bow­ers, Alward, Jones and Field, and the batting of Bow­ers, Connor and Barlow. Lowenstein at shortstopclearly had an off day. Philip Allen, of football fame,umpired the game in a very satisfactory manner.Following is the score:Univer. of Chi., R. B. P. A. E. Oak Parks, R. B. P.

Reinforced by these men the'Varsity will probably put up a different game. .Tennis.University tennis players have been in evidence forthe last few days both at home and abroad. While asuccessful tournament has been conducted on the'Varsity courts, Neel, Bond, McGillivray, Miss H. C.Rew and others have won laurels for themselves andthe University in various places.Carr Neel has had it' much his own way in thetournament at West Superior, meeting most all thecrack players of the Northwest, and coming out victorin every match played. Those who have fallen beforethe University champion in this tournament have beenBelden, Chase and the Wrenn brothers. SaturdayNeel and Chase defeated the two latter in doubles.At the Kenwood courts the interests of the Universityhave been well taken care of. Miss Rew, by defeat­ing Miss Wilmot, took first place in the tournament.At home all seems to have become devotees of thefascinating pastime. The courts are crowded everyafternoon with the knights of the racquet. On ac­count of the system of handicaps in vogue, surprisescome thick and fast. Players who have been rankedin the second class are continually turning down the" sharks." It is exceedingly hard to foretell whowill be found in the finals.

The lectures are delivered at I I : 30 A. M.General subject, "American Protestantism."Tuesday, Aug. 6, "American Protestantism inRelation to Denominationalism."Wednesday, Aug. 7, "American Protestantism inRelation to Education."Thursday, Aug. 8, "American Protestantism inRelation to Roman Catholicism."Friday, Aug. 9, "American Protestantism in Re­lation to Our Government."Saturday, Aug. 10, "American Protestantism inRelation to World Evangelization."In his lecture Tuesday Mr. Conley said that one ofthe characteristics of Protestantism is to break up intodenominationalism, a cause of some good and somebad results. Individual investigation is stimulated,but the division of forces is a source of weakness, afact readily seen in small communities. Church unionwould strengthen missionary effort. At present muchmisunderstanding and misrepresentation results fromdenominationalism. The last decade has witnessed aspirit of brotherhood. The next movement will bethat of federation. Yet church union can not beforced; it must come by slow growth. The seventeendifferent kinds of Methodists in America should unite;Baptists and Disciples should unite.As a basis for unity we can not rest on the historyof the church or on tradition, but implicitly on theword of God. Modern criticism and deep investiga­tion are but preparing the way for this.

All suffering serves, not as anevil, but as a good thing, provided by a wise Creator.One attractive feature of these services is the musicrendered by the University choir. Last Sunday Mr.W. P.
