NOTED EDUCATOR URGES COLLEGE GIRLS TO FIIRT.
Adds Spice Study Professor Palmer Harvard ThnkSyes Prone
knowledge Of Social ufe-WarnS Radcliffe STO0 Much Time
Given I'D to Books Must Be Made D by Hard HVtnq AerWaFd

Boston, Mass. - Professor George
Herbert Palmer, of Harvard, sixty
seven years old, twice wed and re-
ported to be contemplating third
venture in matrimony, his next bride
to be Wellesley professor, has come
forward with the statement that lit
tie flirting, properly conducted, OF
course, is not only advisable, but
even imperative, for the average col
lege boy and girl
Flirting is the surest road toward
the proper knowledge of social life,
says the professor, who has the dis
tinction of being the oldest member
of the Harvard faculty, and whose
second wife, Alice Freeman Palmer,
was president of Wellesley College
from 1881 to 1887.
81 think the girls of Radcliffe and
the boys of Harvard devote too much
of their time to study They actually
bury themselves in their books, and
the result is that when they get
through college they don't know a
thing about social life
They should mingle little frivol-
ity with their studies - in other
words, they should firt little. Were
I to advise the boys of Harvard or
the girls of Radcliffe, l would tell
them to go around and see things
more than they do.
II am always reminded of girl
graduate of Radcliffe, who studied so
hard that she got the reputation of
being over-studious. She never went
anywhere. While the other girls

New London, Conn.-Harvard car
ried every honor away with her from
the Thames when her three splendid
crews beat Yale's three in three as
clean-cut victories as has ever been
seen on this historic course.
Her varsity crew led from start to
finish and won by six lengths in
21:50. Yale's time was 22:10
By this victory Harvard won her
second consecutive boat race from
Yale in twenty-eight years.
The greatest crowd that has ever
assembled here on the Thames poured
into New London to witness this race
Harvard's growing confidence in her
boating system brought double and
quadruple the number that usually
follow the crimson to the Thames,
while Yale's determination to win
back her glory on the river brought a
notwithstanding Yale crowd. The
railroads could not furnish enough
cars to accommodate all the people
who fought and struggled for seats
on the observation trains. 1t was es-
timated that at least 10000 people
witnessed the spectacle from trains,
every kind of vehicle, and from a
hotilla of the grandest floating craft
that graces American waters.
Although Harvard won by hand
some margin and administered a
crushing defeat to Yale the race was
nevertheless a contest right up to the
last half mile. All the way up the
river the two Fights rowed with al
most equal precision, and a slip of
any kind in either shell would have
turned the victory into defeat within
a. few seconds. But there was no
break in the Harvard boat. Rowing
all the way two strokes and some
times three strokes to the minute
more than Yale, the Harvard eight
crept away from Yale little by little.
For two and a half miles Yale kept
within a scant boat length of her
Cambridge rival. Then Harvard put
on her power and increased her lead
to three lengths, then to four, and
finally to five and six lengths. Yale
spurted with her old-time determine
ton, but it was in vain.
The explanation of Yale's defeat is
not difficult. Harvard, with crew
that averaged almost six pounds to
the man heavier than Yale, was able
to row right through the race at a
gait that averaged two strokes to the
minute faster than Yale and still get
out of this stroke her maximum of
speed.
Any crew that can row in the form
that Harvard or Yale rowed in and
still row on an average two more
strokes a minute than its rival, and
not exhaust its men by SO doing, is
bound to win, and the margin at the
finish will only be measured by the
physical endurance of the men in the
winning boat.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Insulting re-
marks addressed to girl employed
in the Bell telephone exchange here
and a reprimand from the chief
operator when she told the man who
had insulted her by wire what she
thought of him, caused her to commit
suicide by drinking carbolic acid. She
was Miss Elizabeth Monk, seventeen
years old, of No. 1922 Passayunk
avenue. When the chief operator
reprimanded Miss Monk the chief did
not understand the situation, and
thought the girl was flirting. Miss
Monk, when called upon afterward to
explain her conduct, experienced no
difficulty in clearing herself of the
imputation which had been cast upon
her. Notwithstanding that, she went
home, determined to die rather than
face her comrades in the exchange,
Before she drank the acid she wrote
a note. In it she called attention to
the fact that she had been repri-
manded publicly by her chief for act
ing as any girl should do when in
suited by man.
Il am too ashamed to go back and
face the other girls" she wrote.
Rather than have the stigma of be-
ing a fiirt cast upon me, / shall kill
myself.
Miss Monk was almost dead when
she was discovered. In the hope of
saving her life she was hurried to the
Methodist Episcopal Hospital, where
she died an hour afterward without
regaining consciousness. Before the
trouble arose in the exchange she had
