| ideas held i'm common, close specializa-
| ton will prevail. The value further
more OF continual association Of stu
dents Of the same kind is likely to be
recognized through The creation Of dor
nlitories for special classes of workers.
Such a tendency has already received
approval from the experience Of teach
ers at the Conservatory of Music who
| say that the girls living in the school
dOrmitoriecs make on the average at
least one-third more rapid progress
than others living outside. The reasons
| for this discovery are probably near to
seek In the dormtorIes which the
Conservatory has erected in the Fen
way, known as Dana, Frost and Gardi-
ner Halls, everything has been specially
accommodated to the needs of young
women whose parents are spending
money for musical education rather
than for training in amateur house
keeping The effort is made to keep
the girl students mind free and open
| TO the influences about her. The sur
| iCundings, with an outlook over the
stretch of the Fenway dotted with the
other schools already built or now ris-
| ing to the ,iusky blue hills of Brook
| line beyond are thoroughly pleasant.
Principles of suitability and good taste
have been applied in the furnishing of
the rooms. The rules and regulations
are so shaped that 10 interference shall
be made with any legitimate work cow
nected with music.
Washington and other cities are also
building UP educational Centers destin-
ell to attract thousands of American
students. Yet education grows by
what il feeds upon. The success Of
courses in household economies at
Pratt and Chicago is an incentive
rather than Il encouragement to Sim
mons. The Harvard Medican school
with its accumulated experience is not
likely 10 be affected adversely by the
upbuilding Of the medical schools Of
other communities. Rather all Of the
schools will get students from every
part Of the world, attracted by the dis
coveries Of American investigators and
the opportunities here for specialized
STUDY. Similarly the New England
Conservatory with its more than 1908
students has not been affected i'm its
ambitious designs for the future by the
grandiose scheme HOW on foot for
starting n big musical school in New
York. The management realizes that
whatever Increases interest in music
generally in the United States will not
only insure Il greater supply of talented
students for an institution that has
been pioneer in musical education
and has never ceased 10 advance but |
will bring added financial support.
So the springing up Of Z very great |
university in connection with the Bos- |
ton park system is likely to be one of |
the remarkable educational achieve |
ments of this century. IL may never |

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Making Farming Pay.
(Biddeford .Journal.)


In an autobiogra phical sketch of
George AIDE, the author and playwright,
the writer. after telling us how Mr.
Aoe mas retired to a farm which he
runs not for pleasure but for profit,
says: A residence has been
built, ana there is always a house par
ty, large or small in session. The di-
versions of the owner are baseball,
tennis, automobiling and almost daily
trips 10 his parental home thirteen
miles away Recently the breeding OF
Boston terriers has been added to the
activities of Hazelden." And we are
assured that Mr. AIDE is realizing eight
per cent on his farm investment.
Maine farmers who complain that
farming does not pay can now see
that they have been barking up the
wrong tree. They should devote more
time to baseball, tennis and automo-
billing and breed Boston terriers as q
side issue.

Literary Men and the Treaty,

which the president has played therein.

Howells, declaring that Japan has
never yet shown that instinct for hu-
manity which characteriZes the great,
and in the greatest things. the incom-
narable literature OF Russia" ard that
"the altruism of Tolstoi is of more hope
for the race than all the things Japan
tas done for herself" Here, also, is
Mark Twain. forgetting for the time
being that he is a humorist and playing
the role of moralist and diplomat, as
sorting that Russian liberty has lost
its last chance by NJ. Whites accept
ance of Japan's peace terms. adding
that nothing has been gained by the
peace that is remotely comparable to
what has been sacrificed by it,"
Mr.. Howells' utterances have led the
Boston Transcript to remark that they
must inevitably suggest to himself, as
we'll as to his countrymen, the necessity
of appraisal Of his position as a hui
.nanist and sound social philosopher
Il is odd that the novelist whose claim
TO fame is as a realistic portrayer OF

ne. their emotions and sentiments
should align himself so squarely

lincoIn's Birthplace Saved.

a public spirited New Yorker, Robert
J. Collier, has done the country a SER
vice by purchasing the cid farm in
Kentucky upon which Abraham Lin
coin was born and which was sold at
auction. He announces that he will
turn il over intact either 10 the govern
rsnt or TO some patriotic society which
will maintain 1t as national park.
Despite the fact that the entire farm
WAS sold for $4,000, or s32.72 an acre, it
appeared for a time as though it would
PASS into the possession of PARTIES who
would use the land merely for aSricui-
tnral purposes. Second in interest
only to the birthplace OF George Wash
ington, the public supinely gave no at
tention to the disposition Of the farm.
Had Mr.. Collier not stepped in the land
ana the Lincoln cottage would undoubt-
cGly have been lost to the people.
The land is 70 better than it was q
hundred years ago, the farm itself is
not more attractive than II was forty
years ago" truthfully declares one
commentator, but the fact that in a
humble log cabin on this lard the great
..mancipatOr and president who held
two warning nations in his heart" was
born gives TO the land AMI cabin a value
which cannot be computed by dollars.
Abraham Lincoln was born on this
farm,-on Nolin creek. about three
miles from Hodgensville, Kentucky,
which his father had bought in 1903
n 1893 ana lived there until he was fou.
years old. when the Family moved to Il
larger and better farm fifteen miles
away. Three years later the family
moved again. this time to a farm n
Spencer county, Indiana.
There is some dispute as to whether
the cabin in which President Lincoln
Was born has been Included i'm the Col
Iicr purchase. A dispatch announcing
tn" sale states that the logs of the cab
la in which the great emancipation wa:
bonn were found after his assassination
and the structure was restored" The
New York Tribune has this to say OF
the matter:
Mr. Collier. however we believe TO b.
IN error H. supposing that the log farm
house now standing on the farm Is thu
original log cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born. Ii does not ever
stand upon the exact site of the origi-
nal house. which-so .isitOrs. at least
arr. usually informed-stood nearer thu
fine spring of water that flows out from
under "A rock al the head of what is now
q thlcket Perhaps the exact site can bt
determined, and If SO, il ought to be
marked by a monument commemorate
ing tina, fact. as, doubtless. i'm time il
VIII be.
There Is no doubt as to the farm it
self, however, and the exact location %
the original cabin can probably he de
ci'led. The farm SHOULD he made into :
national park, the cabin into a Lincoln
museum. Mr.. Collier deserves the NJ,
tons thanks for his act. but he ha
only started the work.
