The Christian Register observes
that a trolley car furnishes parable
OF lfc and in little offers model for
the organization OF human society. So
long as passengers are few, each one
sits at his ease. and ample space is, by
tacit consent, allotted to each one. The
rules Of modesty and delicate behav-
iOr are strictly observed. AS the crowd
increases in the car. the unwrittcn
rules Of this travellers club come int O
force. That which would before have
been insulting or indclicatr or even
immOdcst changes its character. The
| contacts OF the crowd may be unplcas
ant, but men and women are squeezed
together without protest and without
consciousness Of hmpropricty. But.
the moment The car IS half cmpticd
the original individualism rcasscrts it,

allowed by common consent would be
punished by the conductor or a police
man, the public opinion of the passcn-

Cumstanccs. and the ideal right is that
which under the circumstances is best.
