HApPY CLEVELAND.

We take this occasion to apologize to you'
Tom Johnson When we heard that you pro-
posed to inaugurate free streetcars In Cleve-
land we were tempted to argue with YOU but
on the same day we received word that nre
in a theatre of your town failed TO drive the
audience from their seats or the actors from
the stage. This last item threw a flood of light
upon a situation that has long been Velleo
to us.
The remarkable inability Of Cleveland theatre
goers to become panicstricken at the cry OF
fire their unwilngness to leave the Dulldlhg
even after the smoke had filled the audlto-
rum so densely that the stage was no longer
vsible-these facts, assert, justify you
Tom in your endeayorS as you have never be
fore been justified in our eyes We have coca
sionally said cruel things about You. Tom, little
sUspeCting the true state OF affairs at your
experiment station In our discussions of So
cialistic ventures one of our strongest argu-
ments has always been that socialism would
work only in world peopled by creatures
whose emotions and desires were radically DIFF
ferent from the ordinary run Of men.
We apologize, Tom. The theatre episode
proves that you are not dealing with human
beings. Ordinary emotions flourish not in the
nerves Of the newly discovered anthropoid
c'near-manD genus whose habitat is the fens
of the Cuyahoga. If theatre fires move them
not to pancky fear, but only arouse mirth in
their curious brains. are bound to infer
what you have doubtless long llnOwn-that lack
Of food does not make them hungry, poverty
fails 10 stir them to work and personal amDi-
tons and tastes are quite lacking in their
makeup; in brief, that they constitute an ideal
community for n successful sOCialistlc expert
ment
We await with eagerness the day when YOU,
Tom. begin running your free streetcars.
Among those 'near-men' Of Cleveland the ex-
pense of maintaining the system Will not be
thought worth botherng over. Tell us, is the
gist of the idea that free streetCars will induce
all the "nearmen" to walk-oT what? And tell
us, too, do you think that the "near-men
might be- safely transplanted to other regions
where socialism is epidemic?

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

With the gift Of nearly half million dollars
for the establishment of well equipped school
OF domestic science, Columbia University finds
itself enabled to make one more long stride
toward the goal set for it by its guiding spirits
and rs intensely modern. metropolitan environ
ment. This goal is the perfecting of an educa-
ti0nRl institution which shall give men and
women the special training, and also the
broader culture demanded by the novel, com
pick conditions of twentieth century life. No
other study breaks more violently with old ideas
Of what a university should teach than does the
study Of housekeeping But only a superficial
observer can jest ut this "friIl.' Every well
read American woman knows the poor showing
her sisters make as housek keepers when compared
with English. French and German women. She
recognizes too, that the old excuse Of higher
ideals" and superior culture will not exonerate
her. Not all the Browning clubs In the world

shift the work from one person TO another but
this only makes the problem one degree more
complicated by adding the double task Of getting
servants and supervising them. And the foolish
scorn of housekeeping displayed by many women
has helped nightly to make women of the work
ing classes avoid the despised occupation
The school Of domestic science on Morning
side Heights has several important duties to
perform. 1t must make housekeeping a fine art
