According to this exhibit the higher
education of women is hardly a paying
game. Culture, like virtue, is apparently
fits own reward, The discrepancy in this
case between the salary offered for the
laundress and that demanded by the gov
erness is not at all exceptional. The same
difference in pay is observable everywhere
in comparing the teaching profession with
other cal,ings. Teachers are VIGOROUSLY
Ill paid; the only professional class that
fares worse is the clergy. The causes of
the low remuneration in the two cases
are to n great extent the same. Both
professions have been pauperized by free
scholarships and feliowships. which make
IL possible for any young person of or
binary intelligence to train himself for
these callings at very slight expense. AS
a result an eIcassise supply Of mediocre
talent has been attracted toward them,
and the rate Of pay has been correspond
ingly depressed. If education IN law and
medicine were to be had gratuitously, the
same condition would exist in these pro-
fossions us in teaching and preaching.
The economic law of supply and demand Is
memorable. The natural attractions Of

OF A NATIONAL CON-
SERVATORY OF MUSIC AND ART


Learning music properly is not side issue; it is
hard task that requires devotion than any other
| condition of learning, matter what else you can
mention. The ardent student practices on his instrt-
ment from five to eight hours daily. Of course. he
love his work. the physical condition, If not
sustained by the high sentiment and ambition of the
artistic nature, would succumb and break under the
great strain.
The plan proposed for national conservatory of
music suggested by those interested in it is to es
tabish conservatory in the city of Washington or
in its immediate vicinity which is 10 be building
containing forty studios sufficiently large for classes
of fifty students of music and twenty studios for
painting. and large assembly concert hall for
semble. 1t is to be known and called the American
National Conservatory of Music and Art. The second
of similar character is to be established al New York
another Chicago and fourth in the Ticini-
ty of San Francisco, Cal.
1t is proposed to apporion certain States to each
conservatory. The latter will be known district
conscrvatories and will be attended by pupils from the
respective groups of States.
The purpose is to reach the respective parts of the
Union. making the New York conservatory meet the
demands of the East, Washington the South, Chicago
the middle West and San Francisco the extreme West
Only advanced pupils in music and art will be adj
mitted after passing examination
The Washington times., 1902-05-17

II is important to have the Conservatives local in
stitutions it were, the promoters state. that pater
nal control may be exercised over the student.
Students must be within convenient distance OF
their homes, that the parents can have an oppor-
tunity of. observing the progress of the pupils
1t is estimated that there Mt present 10000
American students abroad scattered in different cities
of Europe. The minimum for which they can be
maintained the promoters of the National Conserva-
tory say equivalent to So per day. which means $780,
600 per day of American money paid to foreigners
S2,i00,000 per month. This money, it is claimed
could be equally proftably spent in the United
States.
The effect of a national conservatory would be to
give a boom to music all the United States 1t
would doubtless hundreds of preparatory 1nst-
tutions to be established, because only pupils who
have attained sufficiently high standard would be ac-
cepted by the national conservatory. But from the
National Conservatory will go forth what will be re-
quired of the respective pupils and the preparatory
schools will educate UP to this standard so their pupils
can take the examination successfully
No private institution create standard that
would or could be accepted by the nations of the
world But what America does nation Will be re-
spected and honored by the world without question
Thus would the American boy of little means have an
opportunity of securing higher artistic education
than is offered him.

Shortening the College Course.

There is n movement just at pres
ent toward shortening the college
and university terms so that grad
yates can get out into the world at an
earlier age than they do now. AS it
is, the youth who aspires to profess
sional life frequently does not finish
his course of training until he is be-
tween twenty-five and thirty years
old, and the collegian who goes into
business is scarcely better off. This
| condition of affairs makes it neces-
sary for the graduate to spend sew
eral years of his maturity in estab-
fishing his position. and defer his
marriage until he is middle-aged
man, which is not good for the COM
munity, because trained and educated
men and women are the very persons
who may be expected to make The
best and most intelligent parents,
and under the present system there
are too many of them who are re-
manning unmarried. Moreover, it is
not fair to the man himself, leaving
posterity out of the question, to make
him spend five or six of the best years
of his life getting training which he
can get earlier. Hence the plan of
shortening the college course. The
problem of public education is one of
the most difficult which intelligent
Americans have at present to solve.
We have different conditions from
those of European nations, and our
young men need different training;
and to strike out new path in col
legiate instruction is anything but
simple matter. 1t will not do to make
American colleges superficial and in
effective in their training; and yet
there is much reason in the conten-
ton that our civilization does not at
present require the solid discipline
of the English and German UNIVERSE
ties, cannot use it, and may lose by it.
However, the men who have educa-
tional matters in charge are alive to
the needs of the situation, and there
is reasonable hope that they will find
a way out of the difficulty in time.

Mr.. Rhea Breaks Long Silence.

For the first time this Congress Rep
resentative William F. Rhea. OF the Ninth
district of Virginia, last Wednesday
took occasion to make a speech. The
House was engaged in general debate on
the naval appropriation bill. and the de-
bate had taken wide range when Mr..
Rhea was recognized.
He did not discuss the navy, but con-
fined his remarks to severe criticism Of
the Administration policy in the Philip
pines. which ne denounced as IAN inhu-
man policy Of crime. torture. and exploita-
ton" His statement that "the Amer
lean people will see to it that no black
star Of colonial despotism will ever stain
flag was greeted with great applause.
Judge Rhea is one Of the most eloquent
speakers in the House. but. owing to the
