The mass meeting OF tenement house re-
formers, held at the Cooper Union on Friday
evening, ended just where, as it seems TO us,
the whole movement ought TO have begun
in appointing q committee to investigate
the subject and TO devise measures for at
tanning the end proposed. The meeting, and
all the agitation which preceded it, was not
needed 10 inform the public Of the facts of
the case It has been notorious now, for n
long while, that many OF the tencmeIN
houses OF this city are hotbeds OF disease
and vice, and that the accommodations they
furnish for human beings are no better than
the dens OF beasts. The evil has been de-
scrlbed and denounced over and over again,
until il Is familiar to every one, and the SEN
timent in favor Of It's abatement requires no
additional stimulus. The difficulty has been.
rs IL Is yet, TO find the means Of accom-
plishing result which all agree in desiring.
1.-THE gentlemen who have now been charged
with the task will present any feasible plan
Of tenement house reform, there need be no
fear that it will not be warmly taken up and
acted upon.
Pending the deliberations Of the commit
tee it may DO as we'll to suggest 10 those
most Jealous in procuring its appointment,
that some OF the worst features Of the tone
mcnt house system require for their removal
only vigorous enforcement Of existing
laws. For example, II is in the province OF
the Board of Health to remedy bad drain
age and ventilation and TO purify foul sinks
and closets. The Department OF Buildings
might cause dark Railways to be made light
by carrying out the provisions of the statute
IN regard to outside widows And as to
the illegal tippling a'ad gaming places
which are the moral pl Ague breeders in ten
emehl houses the POI Ace have the power to
suppress these ais, The trouble is not in
the lack of la us, but in the lack
OF energy IN executing the laws VIC

are now 80 Auch Interested In the matter

| The experience gained, too in reforming

lngs which infect the city, might be valua'
BILE as a guide TO further efforts in the SAME
direction, and perhaps suggest measures
not now thought OF.
After all, the knotty point is that OF sccur
| ing clean, comfortable homes for the poor

at a rent which they can afford, and which
shall at the same time remunerate their
landlords. This is an economic problem
which has rs yet been only partially solved.
Experience has shown that the comforts OF
tenomonts cannot be increased without in
creasing tho rent which must be paid for
thom; or, II by charitable contributions the
rent IL kept down, the tenements are filed
by better class Of tenants than those
whom IL was intended TO benefit. This has
been VIGOROUSLY the case with the PEABODY
buildings in London, and SO it would, very
likely turn out elsewhere. People who are
paying $25 month for cleanliness and
decent company would DO delighted to get
the Same thing for $40, and would imme-
diatoly occupy any building where IL was
offered them. On the other hand, as one OF
the speakers at the Cooper Union on Friday
evening remarked, it is difficult to persuade
q man who is confronted with the squalid
lodgings he now gets at n cheap rate, TO ex-
change them for others, even though they
are better, which cost more money. And
then, behind all, comes the fearful fact that
population is always pressing close upon
the limits OF possible existence, and that the
scourgcs OF disease and vice. whose ravages
benevolent minded people deplore, are the
apparently inseparable adjuncts OF scanty
wages and insufficient means OF livelihood.
The whole fabric OF human suffering Is so
curiously intcrtwlned and knit together with

Harvard Instruction Offered to Women.

Tho friends Of female education will be
gratilied to learn that the educational facli-
ties Of our Oldest university are to be vir-
tually thrown open to women. This Is I'M
doubtedly long step beyond any conces-
sons heretofore vouchsafed by Harvard
College or by any OF our more conservative
institutions. Let us see just how much had
previously been done, and what it is pro-
posed TO do
Since 1874 the faculty Of Harvard College
have undertaken TO raise the standard OF
female education throughout the country
by local examinations confined at first TO
Cambridge, but afterward extended to New
York, Philadelphia. and Cincinnati. The
design was rather TO increase the accuracy
than the breadth Of requirement. by these
tests, which were substantially identical
with the examinations for admission TO the
freshman class. 1t appears that in five
years the whole number Of candidates will
