The Sound from the Sack.

DIR. c. Stanley Hall, the president of
Clark university, thinks that the higher
education of women is one of the causes
of race suicide.
In discussion of his theory DIR. Hall
said recently in Worcester;
Il hear many arguments to the effect
that higher education has an opposite
effect to that which | claim for it, but
look around you, consider the college
women you know, and then tell me if
you don't find all these arguments futile.
They are futile arguments because
the actual truth confounds them. Before
the truth they have the same sound
DR.. Hall smiled.
Before the truth" he went on, 'they
have the same absurd sound as came
from the sack.
You must know that there was once,
here in Worcester, a kind and charitable
man, a grocer. The grocer did not be-

that he was not averse to shielding GRIM

950-a falling off of nearly 122,000 from

been confined to weekday visits, as it
was in the previous year. The 57,73S
visits on Sundays were less by 1859
than those in 1905. We must go back

The prediction from the headquarters
of the forestry service at Washington
that there is likely to be dearth Of
hardwood lumber after another decade Of
cutting sounds like prediction that was
reiterated constantly while the pine was
being cut from northwestern lands
There will eventually be scarcity of
hardwood for lumber, and if the proph-
cts of dearth persist they will eventually
be sustained. However, it is not too
early for economy in the cutting of logs
and in the manufacture and use of hard
wood lumber. The wasteful methods of
the early days of pine numbering should
not be followed.

In adopting the rules in vogue at Hen
ley, which define amateurism so rigidly
that American amateurs are largely
barred, the managers of the Olympic
games which are to occur in Great Brit
ain next summer have practically shut
out all American scullers of prominence.
This regrettable fact is in strong contrast
with the actions of American yachtsmen
in making repeated concessions to chal-
lengers for the Americas cup during the
past twenty-five years.
