and widespread evils. and morally, 1t is
vitiated by very considerable amount of dis

questionable. =
The Forum contains thirteen articles on live
topics. Very interesting is Mrs. Genthe's
Women at German Universities" (Mrs. g.
was born and educated in Germany and came
to this country last Year,, in which she
shows the larger design of the American
university and the limitations of the Ger
man university from which undergraduate
studies are excluded and only graduate
studies are included. In Germany, the higher
education Of women is chiefly provided by
private institutions and professors in the uni
versities deliver during every winter, series
Of lectures for women who can thus prepare
themselves f)r university work. and regular
gymnasia have been founded for women I'M
dergraduates. The universities of Heidelberg
and Freiburg have recently become co-educa-
tional and many women students attend the
lectures. In Professor Hanus' paper on "Our
SAASNSSAS
facts are stated, showing that, with all
the interest and enthusiasm on the subject Of
| education in this country, our educational
| doctrine has not been organized, nor have
| the fruits of experience been gathered as
we go along. There is interesting reading in
| Mr.. Vests paper on proposed amendments to
the constitution. He approves limitation of
! the presidents term to single period of six
years, authority given the president to veto
specific items in the appropriation bills and
the making of provision in the constitution
for an acting president. The states can give
women the right to vote and constitutional
amendment is not necessary. Mr.. West would
| have a new congress and the president sworn
in on the first day Of january after the No
| vember election. Other noticeable papers are
Farley Wilcox's preservation of Large
| Came; Edward Roses 1.-The Boer in Battle;
Major Parker's Promotion in the Army
\ and Mr.. Robertson's paper on the interstate
| commerce law, in which he advocates giving
the roads right of contract and the same
/; liberty to arbitrate disputes which individuals
have and to depend on publicity rather than
ON penalties, requiring direct application to
/ the courts, after an investigation by the COM
mission sufficient to show that the shipper
has meritorious case. This will work bet
ter than the present tedious process, resulting
in orders of no force effect, after which
the whole process must be recommended in a
court OF equity.
Gunton's contains a further expression Of
DIR. j. G. Schurman's views on the subject Of
the Philippines entitled Philippine Funda
mentals, in which he contents for gran
of Independence by our government to thu
four score tribes of the archipelago when the!
;. are in a position to relieve us of the lnterna
tional obligations we assumed for them by tn
terms Of the treaty of Paris. Professor Gun
ton discusses 1.-THE Sugar Pandemoniun,
declaring that the 20 per cent concession give
the sugar Industry staggering, if not
fatal blow, and for this the administrator
party is alone responsible. Rev. j. N. Bald
: win discloses the evils of southern factor
, , life, notably the impressment of little chill
, dren in factory labor, and there is a goo
. paper on some radical defects of our bankin
= system.
