The daughter Of the secretary of

Young Grant is quiet, unassuming

~ ers. This conclusion is reached
after a careful round of the libraries
of the city. Out of 500 readers of
modern fiction not more than one is
a man. What little fiction reading the
men do is of books written more than
a quarter of century ago.
From the LAT public libraries in
New York city about 100000 vol.
umes are drawn for home reading
each year, the very large majority of
them being fiction, of which 80 per
cent. are taken out by women. Dur
ing the same time about 100000 ref
erence volumes are consulted and 80
per cent. of their readers are men.
On late morning visit to the Astor
library recently ia readers were

six were reading history, 81 science,

fore, briefly consider both questions,
writes DR.. Rouse, headmaster Of Perse
school, Cambridge, in the National Re-
view. What is meant by useless?
Some persons mean that which cannot
be turned to direct account in wage
earning. That view is the common
view of the parents of our boys, and 1t
underlies most of the criticisms Of ed
ucation which we read in the press.
Take the ideal, which seems to be
dearest to the heart of the public, to
sit on an office stool for 40 years and
then have a pension; for such life

accepted sense. OF what use to the

To be consistent boy ought to spend
all his time on the three Rs, precis,
and tots, and his parents would expect
him to save five years and be ready at
II years of age for the civil service.
But l need say no more. In it's ex-
IRENE, this wage earning fallacy is
ridiculous; it is, however, the hardest
of our tasks to convince the people at
large that this is so.

ROOT-GRANT WEDDING TO
BE MOST SIMPLE AFFAIR

inclination to go the rounds see1ns to
prove the point.
1t is understood that young Grant
has no money beyond his pay. He is
a first lieutenant of engineers and his
wage is about $125 month. He gets
an allowance for quarters, however,
provided he is on detached duty where
there are no army quarters. The gov
eminent will give him and his wife
three rooms to live in, or If he is away
from an army post it will give him the
equivalent of the rent of three rooms.
1t is said that Edith Root, although
the daughter of rich man, is per-
fectly capable of keeping house in
three rooms, and keeping house there
contentedly.
Lieut.. Grant has an enormously
wealthy aunt, who lives part of the
time in Chicago, but he has no expec-
tations from her, and he is too much
of Grant to take anything if it were
Offered. Elihu Roots father was
college professor, who was earning
about $500 year, perhaps less, when
Elihu was a boy.
1t isn't at all probable that he will
contribute largely to the household
funds of his future son-in-law. He
doubtless would prefer to let the
young couple go it alone for some time
to come. This wedding promises to be
entirely satisfactory from every in
trinsically valuable American view
point.

This annual fire loss has grown to

San Francisco is dealing in the right
way with the present outbreak of the
bubonic plague. Five years ago, when
cases of this terrible disease occurred
In San Francisco, there was, for time
at least, disposition to conceal and
minimize the epidemic; but experience
soon showed, as has been proven en-
phatically in yellow fever visitations
In the south, that the way to fight dis
ease is to fight it openly, and that the
way to avoid panic is to publish hon
est and complete reports, says the
Outlook. DR.. Rupert Blue, of the
United States public health service,
is in charge of the present fight with
the plague, and is vigorously enforcing
modern, scientific methods. While the
ratio Of deaths to cases is absolutely
large, it is less than has been noted
in epidemics elsewhere, and the sys-
tenn of serum injection is regarded as
of value. The terrible mortality usu-
ally attendant upon bubonic plague is
offset in some measure by the fact
that it's spread is slow. It is believed
that infection is largely caused by
rats, and that from them it is spread
in many cases by fleas, which carry
the germs of the disease. Every effort
is being made to extirpate the plague
bearing vermin. Twelve government
surgeons, IL San Francisco physicians,
Az sanitary inspectors, and a large
force OF laborers are working with sci
entitic intelligence and skill to conquer

The British youth Of the present
generation is not in quite so bad a
way as the recent discussions of physi-
cal deterioration would indicate. At
tention was lately called to the inter-
esting condition revealed by a study
of the measurements of the schoolboys
at Marlborough for the past 20 years.
The l4-year-old boys of 1906 are five

inches taller than boys of the same
age in 1886, and the 16-year-old boys
are eight pounds heavier and three.

lists made out and the length of time
men have held Office noted. The
house members are not as exacting
and little moro license is permitted

form is necessary to steer clear of the
breakers of social political life
Diplomats are exempt to certain

requires discriminating foreigner or
one who has employed a secretary
from the very innermost fold of the

diplomatic corps.
Washington is an especially easy
city for outsiders, as they have the
right of way and must call first on all
those who hold an official position.
These visits are returned and thus the
thin edge of the wedge is inserted that
