CHILD LABOR LAW

Greek Letter Societies.

The Chicago board of education
has acted wisely in putting the ban
ON Greek letter societies in the pub
Tic schools. There is a limit Of
youthful immaturity below which
IT Is foolish to go in such matters.
Everyday children of everyday
schools are not benefited in the
slightest degree by aping the man
ners and customs of colleges. In
deed it has always seemed not a
little absurd to speak of high
school freshmen" 'sophomores,' 80
commandments" and 'baccal-
aureates," as is very often done.
How much more out Of place are the
fraternities that were for so many
years the sole property Of the most
advanced institutions.
IN the colleges themselves, the
case is far different. There the
Greek letter societies are often not
only beneficial TO the students but
TO the institution. They contribute
buildings of beauty and value often
times and help college expansion in
no small degree. Speaking of this
very point, a writer in a recent
number Of the Outlook says:
Within thtrty-hve years Amherst "a
good typical case) has Increased its
student body so per cent, but reduced
its dOrmitOTy space 20 ReT cent. In 1870.
49, t53 per cent? of its 255 students room
ed in the dormitCries and the remainder
555 students, 100 ga per cent? lodged in
the dOrmitOTes. and Z05 t43 per cent? iu
The twelve fraternity buildings Am
herst could not house those POS students
without hundreds OF thousands OF add
U0Uzi endowment Thus the forbidden
secret societies have finally become
students clubs representing part of
tie college endOWmeu), in which their
members eat and room and are largely
relieved from all direct faculty control.
Few colleges would today desire
the abolition ot these organizations
that furnish so mucn genuine hap
piness and good 10 the students. As
"a matter of fact, a large proportion
of the members of every college
faculty were themselves Greek let
ter men when in course. They real
ize that no amount of jeering by the
outside world can alter the plain
facts as 10 the fraternities' useful
ness.

The Nude in Art Again.

The New York Times does well TO
counsel Il little common sense in
considering Mr. Comstock's latest
eruption. AS all who read the papers
know by this time, the ever active
superintendent Of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice has seized
the whole issue of "The American
Art Student" a magazine issued to-
gether with the catalogue Of the
American Art Students League and
Endorsed by the American Society
of Fine Arts. The offense to the
eyes of the sensitive ComstOck con-
sisted IN the reproduction of GER
tain studies of the nude. Wherefore
he seizes about 1000 copies of the
catalogue and magazine combined
and places the caFetaker of the
school under arrest.
Unnecessarily harsh, rude" and
considering who was his immediate
victim, cruel" these are phrases
which our New York namesal<e uses

ton of the subject-matter of the

U. S. STEEL'S TREMENDOUS
OUTLAY FOR CONSTRUCTION

Since its organization 10 December 81,
1905. the United States Steel Corporation
spent for actual new construction and
acquisition OF properties nearly S07-
900, 600. The appropriations made over
the last six months for the same pur-
pose bring the grand total up TO $3.50,
+o9, S91 All this has been accomplished
without an increase in bonded Indebted
ness.
notwithstanding these heavy expendi-
lures. which have materially increased
the earning poEer and production OF the
corporation, the surplus has been in
creased from $50 $50, 249 to more than
s95 500, 600

choose the illustrations. The first
suggestion of a desire on her part
10 edit the league publications
would have cost her the extremely
inartistic job she now holds. Yet
she alone is hailed into court and
when all the proceedings are ended
it will be her name alone which has
been entered on the books. Surely
Mr. Comstock could have done bet
ter than this.
So much for one common sense
view of the matter. The other is
similarly uncomplimentary.
Study of the nude is an essential
to the development of artists, Many
of those who declaim against it
would be greatly surprised TO learn
that the mOdestly, abundantly,
fashionably CARRIED figures they ad-
mire so much in the magazines
could never be made if the illustra-
tor were not taught carefully to
draw from the naked model.
But the drawings SO made need
not be hung ~ the window. They
belong rather in the portfolio of
the student OF on the walls of the
class room. 1t is preposterous to
think that the work of the art
Students League could not have
been adequately illustrated without
the use of some of the pictures
which were included in the cata-
logue. To tell the truth, they made
old art students start little, and
in reproducing them publicly the
Art Students League invited the
very action by which they are now
so much embarrassed. 50 far, the
editors were 10 blame.
