4 novel course has recently been
opened in a training school of kinder
garten teachers in an Eastern city. 1t
is called a course in hOme-making. Its
prospectus recognizes the fact that the
preparation for the most important in
dustry in which women can engage
has always been more or less haphaz-
ard. If Il girl could make Il loaf Of
bread and a cup of coffee, if she knew
that beefsteak is bought by the pound
and not by the yard, and that windows
should not be washed outside in freez-
ing weather, she was too often thought
to be equipped for housekeeping-at
least when the family was to consist
of Just herself and her husband" The
miseries of the first year of marriage,
with so meager a supply of knowledge
and experience, are written deep in the
memories of many a husband and wife.
1t is a good sign that a popular school
has had the sense and the courage to
establish a department where girls
over eighteen years old may study the
house intelligently-its construction,
its decoration and furnishing; house
keeping, with its expenses, its &C
counts, it's marketing, its cooking and
its laundry work; and finally the nur'
ture and training Of children, from the
care Of their physical needs to the SC
lection of their games and their books
We have acted too long upon the as
sumption that home-makers are born,
not made. 1t is high time that we
should at least make the experiment
Of teaching women expressly how tc
meet the varied demands of life in the
home.

TUNNElING THE HUDSON.

The Idea Is by No Means One of Re-

The idea Of tunneling the Hudson is
by no means of C birth. Several
attempts in this direction have been
made since 1874, when the first COM
pany to undertake the construction of
n subj Hudson tunnel came into being.
Little progress had been made, how
ever, when, through an accident to
the door Of an air-lock at a critical
moment, the tunnel was flooded and a
number Of laborers were drowned.
The water was pumped out and work
resumed, but a bad leak once more
caused a long delay. By this time

The most hopeful characteristic OF
the American colleges is the self-sup-
porting student. The boys who have
worked their way through have not
only conquered the adverse conditions
to which they were born but have also
always adorned all professions and
walks of life. 1t has been said that
any boy in this country who wants an
education may get it, if he wants it
bad enough. The truth Of this is being
demonstrated now more clearly than
ever before. There is common COM
plant that the poor boys chances to
get ahead in the world are not what
they used to be. This is not borne out
by the facts in any department of life.
More than eve before, character is the
prime capital for success, and never
before were a poor boys opportunities
for moulding his character as he sees
fit as good as they are now. There
was a time in the history Of American
colleges when the earning of money
by a student during vacation to help
pay his tuition bills was so exception
al a proceeding as to excite remark.
But there appears to have been a great
change. The growth Of the practice is
indicated by the report Of the secre-
tary of the Columbia College commit
tee on employment for students, from
which 1t appears that Columbia stu
dents during the past summer earned
$31,401, an increase of $4,000 over
their earnings for the year before. The
number of vacation workers this year
was nearly 10 per cent of the entire
university attendance. The occupa-
tons engaged in ranged in variety
from truck driving to the operation Of
a printing office, and the largest sun
earned was $1,000 by a law student.
Many, no doubt, also carry on wage
earning labor during the college term.
1t Is unfortunate that this should have
been the case, for no college course
can be what it ought to be when
broken into by the necessities of self
support, though it is, of course, far
better that a student should study
under the disadvantage than that he
should not be a student at all. Besides
it has its compensations. What the
wage-earning student loses from the
college course he makes up in practi-
cal application Of his talents to the
work of real life. He Is better PIE
pared, perhaps, to step into his chosen
occupation when college days are owe
than is the fellow student whose way
has been made easy and who knows
nothing Of the difficulties to be encoun-
tered. The boy who works for his ed
ucation learns what an education is
for and places 1t in its proper perspec-
tive in his view of life. And in max
ing for 1t he unconsclously builds up
within himself something of more
value even than education, and that is
character. No boy need despair be-
cause his father is not rich enough to
buy him III education. If he wants II
bad enough he IA get it. and by
working for it get something better
still along with II.

where the too much begins and ends it is not easy to say;
tastes differ, and what one man counts as dazzling may be
dull to another. Besides, brilliant men often find much
pleasure in the society of brilliant women; still, 1t is the
exception that even they demand a superior order of in
tellect as requisite for a wife. Clever and able men are
quite content not to ask overmuch wisdom upon the part
of the women whom they marry; it would seem as though
the man, being the head of the house, felt himself compe-
tent to furnish the family stock Of brains, even as he sup
plies the family eXchequer. There is an old-fashloned no
ton with which modern progress has by no means done
away to the effect that women, as compared with men,
have small need Of brains as an equipment for life. Also,
there is no denying the fact that folly in woman has a great
