Study Of Philanthropy.

We are getting all kinds of schools nova
days Education. like everything else, is
drifting into specialties. A school Of phil
ahthropy, for the education of persons who
desire to do charity work and otherwise en-
gage In the reformation Of their fellow-meu
and women. has recently been opened In
New York, in the United Charities building,
at the corner of 4th avenue and 22d street.
It was founded by John S. Kennedy, a we'll
known banker and philanthropist who has
observed the efforts Of many worthy peo-
pie who have been trying to do good and
have done harm instead. I have frequently
heard 1t asserted by practical charity
workers in our large cities that so per cent
or the money contributed to charity In the
United States is absolutely thrown away;
and some even go SO far as to assert that
more harm than good is done by individual
u organized benevolence. This you know
is the theory upon which associated chari-
ties and the concentration Of beneyolence
is based.
More than 10000 people in the city of
New York alone are devoting their time to
charitable work. Between 1900 and 5000
are salaried employees of various organiza-
ticns, and they are all persons Of expe-
rience. The remainder are volunteers, who
spend more or less of their time in the
slums and mission schools, and have had
every church in New York city
has bands of mission workers, some of
whom receive salaries, but the most of
whom are volunteers. To concentrate the
efforts Of these good people; to prevent the
misapplicatfoh Of their zeal; to avoid dupli-
cation and pgQmote economy in the use of
funds, has been the effort Of the United
Charities Association and other similar
bodies, with considerable success and now
school has been established al which peo-
pie who desire to do good may learn how
1t can be done in scientific and practical
manner.
The director of the school is Edward T.
Devine recently professor Of social econ
omy In Columbia University, and its board
OF trustees is composed of the presidents of
several prominent charity organizations and
others who have been long engaged in char
liable work.

RHODE ISLAND A SWIFT SHIP.
Made a New Speed Record for the
Navy.

A new speed record for American battle
ships was established by the Rhode Island
on her official standardization trial trip over
the measured mile course off Owls Head,
Me-, yesterday, during which she steamed
one mile at a rate of 1898 knots an hour
Another mile was made at the rate of 1927,
while the mean time for the twelve runs
over the course was 1898 knots an hour.
The contract of the builders, the Fore River
Shipbuilding Company, called for a speed
of 10 knots, and the showing made by the
vessel was most satisfactory, not only to
the trial board, but to her builders.
1t was demonstrated by the trial that
12575 revolutions would give the Rhode
Island her contract speed of 10 knots, and
126 revolutions were attained during the
runs today. 1t Is expected that in the
four-hour endurance test. which will be
made tomorrow In the run back to Bos-
ton. the contract speed will be reached
without difficulty. The trial yesterday was
made under fairly good conditions. The
sea was quite smooth, although a stiff
breeze from the northwest blew diagonal
ly across the course.
With her propellers making 120 revolu-
tions a minute. the big warship headed
for the course at about $50, and made
the first mile at the rate of 1872 The
speed was gradually increased until at the
fourth mile, at 126 revolutions, a speed
of 1888 knots an hour, the maximum, was
attained. Eight other runs followed, sew
eral of which were over 10 knots
There was very little vibration, and
denser, which bothered the engine room
gang during the past few days gave no
trouble today: in fact, everything worked
with great smoothness.

European Regulations,

The regulations for the protection Of pas
sengers in Europe, and particularly in the
continental countries, would not be toler-
ated by the people of the United States
They would be considered tyrannical. The
same is true of the regulations for city
street cars. In the European countries
when a street car is full 1t will not stop
for other passengers; and many an Ameri-
can has stood at a street corner in Ger
man city and ragged with fury as car after
car passed by him. Indifferent to his sig
nails. The construction and handling of
freight trains in Europe lessons the danger
to railway employees. The goods cars" as
they call freight cars over there, are COM
para atively light; the trains are smaller and
much more easily handled, and the number
of trainmen. switchmen, guards and other
employees is very much larger in compari-
son to the business handled than In the
United States.
During the last fiscal year an unusually
large number of passengers were killed or
injured In train accidents, as the following
fable will show.

This is a terrible record for the four years
since Congress, by law, required full re-
turn of all casualties TO be made to the
interstate commerce commission by each
railroad. At the same time, 1t should be
said. that, considering our vast railway
mileage 213.904 miles), the number of per-
sons engaged in the transportation business
1885, 121 employes), and the number of
passengers carried 715,4196SY, the ratio
of persons killed is not so large in the Unit
ed States as in Portugal. Russia, Spain,
Egypt. New Zealand and Canada, although
the ratio of persons injured is much larger
than in any other country.

The report OF the interstate commerce

the fiscal year ending June 80 last. Is ap-
palling 1t shows that 3,79S persons were
killed and 55. 466 were injured. This fs a
large increase over any previous year and
indicates that the precautions taken for
the protection of passengers are not effec-
tive, and that the legislation Of Congress
and the several states to save the lives
and limbs of railway employees has not ac-
complished its purpose.
The following table will show the casual

years named:

brakes were used on only portion Of the
cars. Several collisions occurred where
trainmen had worked over hours and were
too tired sleepy to perform their duties
intelligently. There were sixteen rear.end
collisions, due to "the inadequacy of the
time-interval rule which was the fault of
the train dispatcher in not holding the Sec
ond train long enough. In several cases
collisions were caused by mistakes In read
ing signals. telegraphic orders or time
tables. Two collisions, In which forty-four
persons were killed, were due to the negli-
gence of enginemen who failed to keep the
alrbrakes in order. One collision, resulting
in the death OF eighteen passengers, was
caused by the failure to identify a freight
train on a sidetrack at night. Two were
caused by snow and extreme cold weather.
Several derailments were due to acci-
dental and several to malicious Instructions
of the track. 1t is unfortunate that the
officials of the interstate commerce commits
sion have not made detailed analysis to
show the number of casualties due to the
carelessness OF employees; those for which
the railway management were to blame
and those for which the passengers them
selves should be held responsible The
nearest they come to that is shown by the
