his relationship with the rest Of the
world
The whole history Of the college .edu-
cation is entirely opposed to snobbery
and seIfshness- The whole idea Of col
Iege training IS to give breadth to the
mind and cIearness to the perceptions.
and the whole essence of snobbery is
Rarrowness. The narrower a man
mind the more difficult it is for him TO
think Of anything beyond himself. In
the normal man mind and heart 90 to-
gether. a great mind naturally is as
ISOLATED with a large heart Intelligence
and character are logical partners
And aside from the mental enlarge
ment Of the college course, college life
IN America is soundly democratic. There
is no other country where each man
stands more squaTeIy on his own feet.
and where he is as sure 20 tumble if he
tries to stand on anything else There
/ is no other place where good fellow
gets such quick recognition and where
social acctdentals cut so little figure
This is as true Of the old Eastern uni
versities as it is OF the younger iRsti-
tutions in the West. The boy that
brought in the winning run at the Har-
vard-YaIe game on the Polo grounds last
July was a negro. He was on the team
because he could play bail. and the one
+ color question was the color OF his play
+ fng-which was very white.
This negro on the Harvard nine is a
good illustration Of the tendency Of col
lege ufe-to judge a man not By tbs
color Of his complexion. but by the color
of his work. A college education tends
/ 70 give a man wide enough outlook 50
/ that he can see over the narrow lines Of
! denarcation drawn by society and sect
and see things in their true proportions

If Il were true, as many people mag
me. that z college education tends to
make man think himself better than
The rest OF mankind and entitled TO su-
perior consideration-or, In other words,
to make a man a snob-the quicker all

wzuId be for the general welfare.
The most conspicuous college gradu-
ate in the United States today is Theo-
dore Roosevelt. At the Harvard alumni
dinner in June he gave expression, with
an emphasis that left 10 doubt IS &c his
sincerity, TO the following sentiment:
.sIf a college education means any
thing, it means fitting a man 10 do bet
Ter service than he could DO without l..
i il does rot mean that it means moth
irs. and If a man does not get that out
OF it he gets less than nothing out Of IL
Ne man has a right 70 arrogate 20 him
self one particle OF superiority or con
slderaton because he his had a college
education; but he is bound, if he is a
true man. to feel that the fact Of his
having had q college education imposes
Upon him a heavier burden Of response
biIity; that IL makes II doubly incumbent
upon him TO 90 well and nobly in his
life. private and public"
And the $500 graduates who sat al
the tables made Memorial Hall ring with
their approval
That is not only she view that a col
Iege man ought 10 take Of his college
education. but it IS the view that a ma
jority Of college men do take, and IL is
a view that increases in strength as the
college man gets out into the thick OF
life and finds his bearings and perceives

Is It TO be a dancing winter, asks the
Boston Transcript From various
signs Of the times the natural eoncIu-
sion is that things in the dance line VIII
look up as they have not done for se.-
eraI seasons. There are two or three
reasons which may be discovered Tor
this if one cares to Know them. but the
most interesting seems to be found in
the general favor that is bestowed upon
all exercises favorable to physical cul-
ture. That dancing, if INDUCED in tenn
perately. sers the blood to circulating
heaIthruuy there is no doubt. and since
every man. woman and child nowadays
does daily perform certain stunts recon-
mended for that purpose, as duty or
as a pleasure. it is quite TO be expected
that in the list of beneficial exercises
dancing viii have q place.
Looking at the recreation III this way
it is easy to see how men and women
who have hesitated TO join in dancing
bees use Of a certain maturity OF years
and Of figure will throw aside all fear of
what young persons may say Of their
attempts 20 renew their youth, and so
on with the dance on the plea that they
need the exercise. and forget those
troublesome reminders OF the passing Of
time called birthdays" This attitude,
then. coming to be generally accepted,
we shall expect TO see all kinds OF al

"AN AMERICAN HAUSSMANN"

Commenting upon the death of
former Governor Alexander R.

different sections of the country, re

change OF the city from village TO

this difference. however: Hauss-
mann carried on his work under the
direction and with the aid Of Napo-
leon III and with the approval of
! the people Of Paris and ali France,
while Shepherd had to encounter
opposition at every step, and was
loaded with vituperation and ohio

subsequently benefited the most.
1t may not be without profit To
quote briefly some Of the comments
on Shepherds work. One of the pa

Former President of San Domingo
Arrives In New York and
Talks of the Past.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE most notable
passenger on board the steamer City of
Washington, which arrived from Santiago
today was the deported former president of
the republic of San Domingo, Juan Jiminez.
After the assassination OF President Here
aux In 1899 .Jiminez obtained the presidency.
His partner in the government was Vice
President Horatio VaZquez. Late in April
WazqueE started a revolution, which re-
suited In two weeks in the overthrow OF
Jiminez, who took refuge at the French con-
sulate and a few days later sailed for San
Juan, P. r., by a French steamer. Friends
Of Vazques have declared that the revolu-
ton had its genesis in the belief that Jim
inez was preparing for the overthrow Of the
constitutional government and the estab-
liShment Of himself as an absolute dictator
The former president declared tonight
that his overthrow was all a mistake. Said
he, through his Interpreter:
Vazquez 1 always considered my friend.
On account of his position he had absolute
control of the army. When he started this
movement his first overt action was to cut
all the wires, both telegraph and telephone,
connecting the outlying districts and prov.
inces with the capital. After the army had
fought tor two days for his leadership. he
declared to them that I was in danger OF
not only being injured, but OF being killed,
and their steady advance to Puerto Plata
was made under the impression that they
were coming to my rescue. -
The condition is this: Constitu tional gov.
eminent is abolished, congress no Longer
dictator. Whatever the outcome OF thss
existing condition in the republic may be,
l Will not be "a party to either its future
affairs.
General Jimlnez will remain In New Yorl
about a month and will then join his chill.
dren In Paris.
