"WHAT AILS YALE!"

Query OF what ais Yale?" that is
going the rounds Of the press is simply
the hysterical unreasoning exclamation
Of the partisan who thinks the blue
must always prove victorious because it
has enjoyed such a large measure Of
success in the past.
1t is not that anything "ails" Yale; it
is that Harvard, with equally good and
often better initial material has ut last
adopted consistent policies, instead Of,
as Of old, spending her energies in short,
uncertain bursts after many and fire..
quently changing systems. That is all
there is of "ailment." Yale has been a
leader; she has long had established
policies in her various athletic depart
ments, and by reason Of them. and be.
cause Harvard had no determined
policy and could not learn by experience,
enjoyed continued success in her con.
tests with the crimson.
II anything tails" Yale it is that the
under graduates need the restraining
influence and better-balanceJ judgment
Of their alumni. At present they have
too much to say, and say it with too
much gusto and too little thought.
They would better implicitly trust in
DR.. Gallsudet's judgment next year,
and permit the coaches to teach the
stroke their experience and knowledge
suggests. The determination OF Yale's
rowing policy may safely be left to

A WOMAN'S WORK.

The remarkable success Of the late
Mrs. Ellen G. johnson, the head Of the
Massachusetts Reformatory for Women.
and the methods by which she attained
her success, are illustrated Ivy an in.
stance mentioned in Harper's Bazaar,
where, by appealing to her higher feel.
ings, she was able to win the affection Of
a girl who had been sentenced to the
reformatory, and who, even there, had
proved incorrigible. Mrs. johnson sent
for her, and, all other means failing,
gave her book OF Whittier's poems
opened at THE Eternal Goodness" and
told her to 60 to her room and read it.
The girl was struck with the beauty Of
the verse, and memorized the entire
poem. Her character changed from
that time, and when che left the reform.
atory she told Mrs. johnson that Whit.
tiers poem had been her salvation.
Later. Mrs. johnson told the poet Of the
jnstance. "Thy heart must have been
filled with love Tor that poor woman"
he said, with moist eyes. At time
wher the Anticipated and often inhuman
methods employed in many State in
stitutions are being brought to light,
the remarkable success OF the Massa-
chusetts Reformatory, and the story Of
such steps BY which reform was accom-.
plishe6, can scarcely fail to convince the
most sceptical that little kindliness
and humanity 60 further than any
amount Of corporal punishment even in
the most desperate cases.

THE PLOT OF THE SIXTH SENSE.

The plot Of The Sixth Sense Harper
& Rrothers), the story which gives the
title to Margaret Sutton Briscoe's re-
cent volume OF short stories, is strange
10 more than one respect. 1t has been
said by some one that to be married was
to be at once az it we're initiated into a
secret society which is composed only Of
married folks. men and women.
The question which naturally arises
after reading Miss Briscoe's story is. can
any one by fraudulent means become a
member OF this society, sharing it's
privileges of developing sympathy and
familiar intercourse without being mar.
ried? Annita Andrews's fraudulent en-
trance into this fraternity and her sue
successful enjoyment Of the sympathy
of a married world OF men and women
was certainly unique subject for a
story, and Miss Briscoe has developed it
with great artistic power. 30 that one is
quite compelled to believe that a girl
could pretend that she had been engag-
ed to a man who wac, as she thought,
killed at Gettysburg, and therefore en-.
JOY the confidence and sympathy Of his
mother and sister. 1t is when he re-
turns unexpectedly and finds that he is
supposed to be engaged to the girl that
Miss Briscoe shows her best art. The
scene between the two when she con.
fesses what she has done is hardly to
DO equalled in any recent American
short story.
