College Influences.
BY those who have watched the
rapid growth of the colleges and uni
versities fears are often expressed
that personal contact between presi-
dent and students, between professors
and pupils, will be lost, If it has not
been lost already; and that so the
best part of a college education will
be forfeited. The definite charge, by
a writer in a recent number Of the
Outlook, that in one college at least
this condition has already come to
pass, brought out some interesting
correspondence. One woman mentions
a professor who not only knew all
his boys" while they we're under his
instruction and helped them by per
sonal advice and friendly social inter
course, but has kept in touch with
every one of them since they were
graduated. Once a year he sends
them all a letter, and nearly all of
them reply. The atmosphere is al
most like that Of one great family.
The misfortune of one is the concern
of all, and all help to repair it. The
correspondents cite other colleges
and other men to show that inter
course between faculty and students
is growing more intimate instead of
more remote; and no n has consid-
erred It necessary to cite-for every
one knows-the definite system which
most of the colleges have for bringing
all the students under the direct per
Isonal influence of some of the pro
fessors of other instructors. Candid
graduates of 40 or so years ago, If
they are familiar with present college
conditions, nearly always admit that
the relations to-day are simpler and
more familiar. The old-time professor,
however benefcent his influence, was
too often a man of austere dignity,
(which made him unapproachable. His
modern representative may be regard
ed with less awe, but not with less
affection. One thing must be remem-
lbered, remarks Youths Companion, it
takes two to form > friendship as we'll
VS. to make a quarrel. The student
must meet advances halfway. If he
does, there is little danger in any col
lege, large or small, that he will go
Through the course %friendless or with
out the helpful influence of close con-
tact and acquaintance with ~'praeses

The Little Tin Soldier.

Vance Thompson, in the Christmas
Everybody's, writing of Where the
Toys Come FROM" describes the Muir
emberg home of the toy soldier.
THE soldiers are sold by the hun.
dredweight," he says, "and last year
nearly $4,000 quintals were sent into
the United States. A pound box, which
contains about $50 pieces-infantry,
cavalry, artillery, with such accessor-
les as trees, bastions, camps, the
wounded soldiers and the dead-you
may buy yonder in the Troedel market
for 60 cents. AS every one knows,
there are two kinds of toy soldiers
those stamped out of fiat metal, and
the finer kind made in molds. Mod
ern machinery-as you may see in the
great factories outside the city walls
has stripped the process of romance.
The only hand-work is the painting of
the little figures, which is done by wo-
men and girls"

Automobile Expert.

will come through good roads for commercial automobile transportation
are bound to make the road question one that will have to be considered by
legislatures.
A state commission with an appropriation sufficient to interlace the
roads of New York state and Jersey with freight auto roads would be one
of the most commendable of all the commissions that we could have at pres
emf. Long Island has only one road that leads to Long Island City that is
worth the name.
That should not be.
The freight hauling of Long Island could even now be done by auto
mobiles with great saving to the consumer il there were roads that admitted
oft.
France, Germany and Switzerland have been using the freight auto
mobile for years, and yet we think we are a progressive nation.
The Measure "a must give way as a factor Of manufacture to the
commercial car, and as soon as the men who control the big output of cars
realize that then the movement toward th9 kind Of roads we must have
must begin to take shape, and it is coming IN the very near future.
Just as soon as the big controllers in the manufacturing market see
that their future and big profit lies in the go actor car and that they
need good roads for the same, the get the newspapers to
start an agitation sufficiently yet the kind OF legsla-
ton they heed for the same

Heroines.

From the earliest times 1t has been
demanded of men that they shall be
strong and brave; as civilization ad-
i%vances. it begins to be required that
they shall be gentle as well-be gem
tlemen, No less is it tue, although
less often recognized, that as the
standard of mans g%entleness has been
raised, so has that of woman's cour-
age. In the old romances, when
danger threatened. the imperiled
heroine tainted, and the ever-ready
hero happened along and rescued her,
ia bundle of inert loneliness. When
trouble lowered, she did not brace
herself to meet II; she poured forth
floods of feeble tears and pages OF
lamentations. Nothing more was ex-
,pected of her. The modern woman,
III she does not always keep cool in
times of peril-and how often she
idoes!-and if we still forgive much
of her nerves, and her lesser training
to encounter danger, has learned at
least not to pride herself upon weak
ness. Swooning and Mysteries are
things to be ashamed of nowadays,
Moreover, we have come to perceive
that there are circumstances in which
Ia woman is bound to show courage
bound in honor, as a man is bound
and is disgraced if she prove a cow
lard. Even In the days of f~ainting
LONELINESS some forms of heroism in
women were admitted and praised
that of the mother protecting her
children, that of the daughter cour-
I~ageously standing by her parent, that
of the girl defending her lover. But
to-day, says Youths Companion, wom'
zen recognize other and wider obliga.
ltions; those Of the nurse to her pa
,tients, the teacher to her pupils, the
college girl to her chum, the fore
woman to her girls, the girl who can
swim or ride or run or shoot to any
I~person In danger whom her skill may
save. Whoever reads the daily pa
lpers for what Is fine in them, rather
than for what is sordid or horrible
may recall a of recent incidents
illustrating the ready courage of WON
an on behalf of others. And the rec
ord, already nobly ample, grows daily
IT is a record of deeds as gracious ant
womanly as they are heroic. Bayar(
Taylor's lines-written of ightinl
men abroad-are no less true today
of peaceful women at home who dc
brave deeds.

II AGE OF CLAY.
Rapidly s%upplantIns Iron and steel for
Many Uses.

Rapidly S~upplantinS iron and steel tor
Many Uses.
In spite Of the fact that the largest
corporation in the world is devoted to
the exploitation of iron and steel the
people VINO like to look ahead are al
ready prophesying the end of the iron
age. It Is pointed out that we can al
ready compute the amount of iron ore
still in sight, and the number of years
which 1t will require to exhause these
deposits.
The question which arises is what is
to be the substitute for IRON. The ex-
perts have an answer ready. We will
return to the age of clay.
Iron, according to the late Professor
Shaler, is first to go out of use for re-
tanning vessels. After a while there
will be no more iron buckets and bath
tubs and boilers. The retaining YES
sells of the future, like those of our saw
age forbears, will be made of clay. AL
ready a new spirit is entering the pot
terry Of the world, and the ceramic in
dustry is recovering the lost glories
of its antiquity. Sheet iron will be-
come too expensive for roofs, and tiles
will be more used. Even now they
are regafning a vogue in American
country houses.
Iron for structural purposes will fol
low the way of iron for retaining YES
sells. For all its shell of brick and
stone, New York is a steel city, a
masked dream of the iron age, a metal
skeleton, incased. Sometime it's steel
skyscrapers and it's stec' bridges will
be curiosities. The houses and bridges
of the future, many of them, will be
built of cement. Many of them are be-
ing built of cement.
The cement house is a modified YER
sion of the adobe dwelling of the In
dams of the Southwest. 1t is the clay
age reasserting itself in a novel form.
In this form indeed that age IS al
ready on the scene, s%houldering out
the iron age in a thousand places.
America produced only about a mil
lion and a half barrels of cement in
1897. Last year the output was IS,
600, 900 barrels. The supply is practi-
cally ineXhaustable. 1t is claimed for
the cement house that it can be
erected in half the time of another
house and at much less expense.

BUILDER OF BIG TUNNEL

William Gibbs McAdoo, president of the New
York & Jersey Railroad company, is about to real
ize the dream Of his life in the completion of his
gigantic system of railroad tunnels under the
Hudson river. The work was begun II years ago.
More than 5000 900 has been expended on the
