Name The Streets Uniformly

Under explicit authority from Con-
gress, the District Commissioners
have announced certain changes in
the names OF streets which lie or
are to lie west of Rock Creek Most
CT these changes affect highways not
yet opened, but many of them concern
streets which are opened, and one Of
them in particular, the thoroughfare
tscw known indifferently as Thirty
second street" High street" Ten
leytown road" and "Tennallytown
road is one of the most important
highways in Georgetown. Under such
circumstances it is well to know that
the Commissioners have ordered only
such changes as are needed to make
those streets conform with the Con-
gress- approved plans of highway ex-
tension, and that the street names
have been altered as little as possible.
What of late years has been called
'Tenleytown road" for example, is
INV " NC AiiONH DIS y-SSCOHU
street." IS far out into the country
as Cleveland Park. None Of the old
maps give this highway the name of
the Tenleytown road, its designation
by that name dating back only to the
laying of tracks for the Tenleytown
cars. There is no other "Thirty-sec-
ond street" So the Commissioners
have accomplished three good results
by this change of name-they have
restored the name Of "Tenleytown
road" where it belongs; they have
done away with the incessant con-
fusion between "Tenleytown road
Wisconsin avenue" and Thirty
second street." and they have given
the most used outlet to the country
from Georgetown a name which must
be perfectly clear to everyone who
has business in Washington 1t is
most unfortunate, in this view OF
these facts, that their action should
have been confused in the first news
announcement of it.

The Bent Back.

It is within the power of many to
use phrases which astonish because
of the verbal pyrotechnics or vocal
gymnastics they involve, but to i'm
press deep meanings and generous
philosophy upon an old expression
requires kinship to genius. DR.. Luth-
er. Of Trinity College, Hartford, at
the University Club last night said:
The escape from the bent backs
of the world is education which will
fit men to enjoy what God has given
them
1.-The bent back" is a phrase that
is brilliantly universal in it's descrip-
ton Of humanity 1t has been recog-
nized ever since men began tc think,
it has always been the mark of in
sufficiency of strength to support the
burden imposed, it is one of the COM
mon heritages of the race; we had
it, we knew it, but it remained for
Or. Luther to say it.
When Millet painted the AN
gelus" and the Reaper" he painted
The Bent Back of the laborer; when
Shakespeare wrote Hamlet he de-
scribed the crushing weight of
thought upon mind brilliant and
clear to understand the problems OF
existence. but not strong enough to
use or control them; when Jesus
preached in Galilee His call was
Come unto me, all we that labor and
are heavy laden, and l will give you
rest" and that call has kept ringing
through the ages, until today it's vol
u:ne is louder than ever. and now ii
is echoed from every heart.
The recognition of mans bent
back is the one essential to trans
cendent genius; without it the most
beautiful work of the artist, the poet
the philosopher is mere arabesque
tinkling of cymbals or a sound o.
brass: with it Cervantes rose in dor
Quixote" above the mere boiling
of his other works, and Shakespeare
evolved from a mere playwright te
be the greatest of all poets.
But Dr. Luther did more than use {
catching phrase, his address was
meaty With wise thought, He said
Work and self-sacrifice, instead o
REINFORCEMENT and self-culture, il
coming to be the aim of education
Truly, splendid generalization o
the advance in modern education
over the old ideals, This marks tn,
trend of development since the day
of Goethe; this is illustrated in tn
lives OF such men as Theodore Roose
welt; this is the modern spirit in &C
tion.
1t would be well to quote NOR
from such speech, it would be pleas
ant to enlarge upon it further. BIZ
DR.. Luther's thoughts are sef-lu
minous and it must suffice to adj
this:
The people are demanding more worl
in the colleges for the training of TIL
man. The time is coming when ever,
man is going to college. There is n
form of labor that is not digniffed b.
training. The escape from the ben
