The Quinn Question.

a marked divergence is still noticeable
between the nature OF press dispatches
from Cuba and those which it is asserted
are being received by the Administration
from confidential sources in the island.
our own Havana news yesterday was to
the effect that the Constitutional Conven-
ton would probably return the Platt reso-
luton to General Wood with the state
ment that its terms We're impossible of
acceptance. From Administration quar-
ters, on the other hand, we hear that the
Cubans within few days are likely to
realize the futility Of resistance and bow
TO the inevitable.
What they will do remains to be seen.
There is no doubt that the faction almost
alone represented in the convention is
turbulent. and ignorant either Of the good
intentions of the American people or Of
the reasons which compel this Govern
ment to insist upon exercising suzerainty
over Cuba. The conservative and business
elements do not appear in the convention
to any extent worth mentioning AS
rule, they refrained from voting for dele
gates and allowed the body to be made
up Of leaders of the radical mostly negro,
population. Intelligent Cubans generally
are believed TO prefer an American siize-
rainty, protectorate. or even annexation
TO the reign Of anarchy. which complete
independence and sovereignty would
bring. under the auspices OF the native
party now IN control OF local politics.
Whatever the convention may do. there
is no apparent occasion for uneasiness.
The Cuban problem appears to be rather
a simple one. If the Cubans choose to
reject our terms now, there is no special
hurry as far as this country is concerned.
Perhaps. next year they may be in more
biddable frame of mind. If they should
not only reject, but start Tioting and dis
order of a serious nature, then in so doing
they would relieve themselves Of any
necessity to bother with constitution max
ing. because they would be annexed too

In connection with the appearance OF

that the Federal authorities should hesi-
tate to resort to drastic measures until

the rate of progress of twenty-five to City
people, marching two by two, is so slow
as to be devoid Of all interest, and the
only vestige of amusement which was af-
forded b: this proceeding-the compan-
ionship Of chosen friends-was rendered
nil by the fact that whatever was said
could be overheard by at least half a
dozen persons Rambles through the fields

with books or games, were things un-
known to the conventual system of the
old-fashioned boarding school and a
more unhealthy mode Of life was posi-
bly, never devised.
The girls of the modern college not only
take long walks when and as they like.
but they play basketball. run races, climb
trees play hare and hounds with as much
zest as the Rugby boys did in Tom
Brown and do practically anything else
they like, as freely as if they were chill
dren. There is no question that this ex-
ercise will be- if anything, Of more bene-
Int to them than their studies, since one
may study as long as one lives. but
strength sapped in early manhood or wo-
manhood is hard to regain in the midst
maturity. Two-thirds of the educated
men and women of the last generation.
especially the women. began their life
work handicapped by physical weakness.
This was inevitable. Those who had
charge of the upbuilding of American
educational systems were anxious to
make our colleges equal to those of the
Old World. They forgot that we begin
our work under conditions almost entire
~ different from those of Germany or
England. Perhaps half the educated peo-
pie of this country have either earned the
money for their education, or been en-
gagged in some outside business of society
or other pleasure during their school life
This was all wrong, of course. but to
certain extent it had to be. One does not
find the German student working his
way through" college, staying out year
and teaching, and coming back to do two
years work in one; and the German
student also comes to college far better
prepared, through his excellent public
schools, than the American student is.
Nine-tenths OF the students of any Ameri-
can college are absolutely ignorant of the
laws of their physical being, and some
Of them overwork themselves recklessly,
while others are content with mere super
nciality. The consequence is that we
nave had no thoroughness in education.
and that a little knowledge has been
gained at the expense of a great drain
Of vitality. Vassar gymnastics, and the
Eymnastic systems of other sensibly man
aged colleges where athletics do not de-
generate into a public show, will at any
rate remove the danger of wrecked health
among college graduates, and the young
man or woman who comes out OF school
we'll can make up most OF the
of education later in life.
