able of him to attempt to say in the now-famous interview published in the London Telegraph that he was really trying to lend a hand to Great Britain in the late Roer war when really, as is well known, his open sympathies were at that time with the Dutchmen in South Africa, And when this interview was carelessly allowed to slip through the hands of the chancellor and into print the blame for its indiscretions falls equally upon the latter's shoulders with those of the kaiser.
 Further results of the interview will be awaited by the world powers with interest. The Boston Herald has summed up the effect of the interview thus: "It has weakened the emperor's hold on his peoples respect and re- grrd, 1t has stffened rather than re- faxed British dstrust of Germany; it has emhttered French and Russian feeling toward Germany and, as we said a fow days ago, it has added to Japan and Chlnas mistrust of the power that has a ruler who perpetual ly endeavors 10 rally the Occident to united action, lest the alleged Vel low Peril becomes a reality"

mark in America arc not appreciated in the full until such n time as they have passed beyond or untl for one reason or another, they resign their posts, In President Eliot Harvard has had a rare administration. For certain reasons principally because of his pro- nounced and determined attitude toward certain branches of athletics which are especially popular at tho present day. President Eliot may not have been granted that superiority which was really his by undergrad uates generally These latter will now undoubtedly at once realize how mar row-minded they have been and hasten to give tribute where it is deserved
 Without exception, it may be stated that President Eliot has done the most of any man living for the cause of collegiate education in America, He has been president of our largest uni. versity for nearly forty years and during that time he has seen such changes made at Cambridge as had not been dreamed of when he first took office. During that time, as he stated In his letter of resignation which has just been made public but ! which was presented to the board of overseers on October 26 last, many of his most intimate associates of the last half century have died
 It will not be an easy task for Har- ward to find another man capable of measuring up to the tasks which Charles w Eliot has faced for the major part of half century His activities and the subjects in which his fertile mind has been interested have been without number As President Hadley has said the full effect of his llfe-work cannot be properly measured for years to come. At one time Presi- dent Roosevelt was spoken of as a pos sible future president of Harvard. Such thing may happen, yet 1t can not be said that he who will step out of the White House on March 4th next is quite the stamp of man we recognize at once as being best fitted for a unl- versity president Certainly Mir. Roosevelt is not of Pesident Ellors type and certainly were he Harvard's president, Harvard's athletics would take on a very different aspect from what they now have.
 As for Charles Eliot, the man, he will be with us and for that we may re- jolce, There will be none in the wide world of education, none, indeed, who have known anything of his manifold worldly activities but will hope his most active and effective years are stil ahead.

EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The coming season in this city prom iscs to be one of exceptional oprortuni- lies in the field Of education and cul- turc The evening schools have for some time been under way The Pub lie Lecture course and the symphony concerts have begun their programs and the oratoro societies have settled down to hard work,
 vnc cannot fully appreciate these public means of culture in the finer things of life unless he uses these op- portunities with some degree of regu- arity and then observes how largely they have gently possessed him hy their influence and have made him man of finer mould If these means, at such little cost were withdrawn from the life of the city, it would prove 9 sad loss, II is possible that the very ones who do not usually avail thcm- selves of these lectures and concerts, as though they were indifferent to them would he tho first to proclaim their value to the community were they withdrawn. II would then be seen how cssoftal a part of the llro of tho city they have become
 A man has vital needs vastly greater than the round Of national necessities for which hc struggles Man is himself an expanding spirit with capacity for development far beyond thc national environment, however much otiea- lively ho may be conscious of it These letters, and the masterpieces in symphony and oratorio, which it is the privilege of those who will go to hear are provided for tho development ano elevation of tho spirit and to induce . vision of much more in life that makes it worth while than material ao. cumulation, needlul as this may ho. ! Without tho stimulating help of what lg good in literature, music, art and ] the drama, life would be dreary grind.
 Few cities have the enterprise and facilities for providing such cultural opportunities as this city does in her public lectures and programs in music, not to speak of the many and varied general educational courses of Yale university Some of these advantages are to be enjoyed freely, and others at only minimum cost To reach out nftcr that which gives the highest pleasure of enduring quality, and rich profit costs no more indeed not as much, as for pleasures of questionable sort that are only neetinR and profit less and devoid of anything that en- dures.

THE BoER WAR AFTrRM ,Tn.

II ia surprising upon what wholly trivial foundations the antagonisms of the powers of Europe arc really built up. We of the United States may well be glad that we are Feographl- cally SO situated as to he largely i'm mune from it Instances of where international friendships of long standing in Europe are in danger of being shattered by comparatively in- significant happenings might be point cd out without number The Balkan dilemma, arising over tho Treaty of Berlin, was a recent one; the highly questionable interview just given out by the German emperor relative 10 his part in bringing the Boer war to a speedy close, is another It ls the same old story in Europe, now that Caesar wrote about long centuries ago when he made mention of the two natural boundaries In Gaul-the mountains and mutual dread. Al- though there is really little reason for the English and the Germans, or any other European nations to he contin- ually at swords--poi with each other still the fact remains that they are thus situated and proof of 1t is not difficult to find.
 Men of high position find them selves in a peculiar situation these days as regards interviews and the press If they show their perfect willingness to be interviewed on any and all subjects, they soon find them selves facing two grave difficulties They have to give s considerable amount of their time to answering the endless and often inane questions of the gentlemen of the press, and they run the risk of appearing 10 make grave errors of judgment either through being misquoted or by speaking prematurely or ill-advsedly On the other hand if men in high position nowadays decide to grant in. tervIews but rarely, then when they do speak their every word is given double meaning and is criticised unmercifully. The German kaiser seems rather to be of the former the more loquacious class, The present mx-up, which go Ttally concerns his chancellor, Prince von Bulow, is but | an evidence of lt, As the Boston Transcript says. 'The Germans by this time have become so accustomed to the exercise of the kalser's talent for indiscretIon that the outburst ot popular indignation over his message has peculiar significance whether w consider it a tardy realization of tht | possible consequence of imperia loquacity, or az marking an organized purpose to establish the principle ot ministerial responsibility to the legis lature." This ls not the first time tha the German kaiser has put himself and his country in a bad light by talk, ing too much upon delicate subjects o diplomatic Import
