Although the fact is not generally known, the greatest matrimonial agent in the country is no less a parsonage than Uncle Sam himself. Most of his activities in this field are carried on through the immigration officials at Ellis Island, where hundreds of mar riages occur every year, for which the old gentleman is primarily Yesponsi- ble. In the role of chaperon, he exer- cises careful supervision over the nor als. of the thousands of unattended young women who enter the country from foreign lands every year. Many of these women come here for 4he ex- press purpose of marrying sweethearts who have preceded them, and if they are without relatives or close friends here, the Federal authorities insist that the ceremony take place at the immigration station or upon receiving convincing assurances that it will be held immediately upon landing. Some times an officer is sent along to see to 1t that the wedding knot is tied prop erly. Not only does the Federal Gov ernment play the part of an official Cupid, but it frequently lends its ef- forts in hunting up prospective bride grooms who fail t6 appear on sched- ule time, and this week it acted as messenger boy to bring happiness to young Russian who was returning to Europe because his Pennsylvania sweetheart had refused to marry him. At the last moment, the young woman re1ented and telegraphed frantically to the authorities, Tell Joseph to come back and I will marry him." The message was duly delivered just be- fore the steamer sailed and Joseph sped down the gang plank presumably bound for Pennsylvania and happiness.
 While New York has stood for the sheath gown, the peach basket hat trimmed with real fruit, and other vagaries of feminine apparel without fiinching, murmurs of protest arose this week when the pantaloon gown was exhibited here for the first time. Most of these protests. 1t may be re- corded, came from the feminine mem- bers of the population, who asserted that they would never, never make spectacles of themselves" by donning this latest Parisian innovation. Ad- vocates of the new regalia assert. however, that from the viewpoint of modesty 1t is far superior to the sheath costume, the. principal object of which apparently was to reveal everything that it tried to conceal. The pantaloon gown is about what it's name implies. From the front it presents what the fashion writers might describe as mf-trouser effect" the skirt being divided to a point above the knees, From the rear it looks like an ordi- nary gown with a train. The trous- cred portions fit about the ankles in manner that gives no excuse for the display of hosiery and the costume is said to be extremely comfortable for walking or shopping, since it obviates the necessity of the wearer'sf holding up her skirts. Certain male critics have been mean enough to assert that these very facts will prevent its gen eral adoption.

The President has not apparently sought to Impress his views upon either branch of the legislative body as to what should be done in the form ulation of particular schedules. At least, he has not been sending in tar if messages to either branch. In his inaugupal address he indicated briefly. but in general terms, what he though should be sacc omplished in the matter of framing a new tariff. It may safely be assumed that he has not changed the opinions which he, expressed at the time of taking up the executive du- ties. The final adjustment of the charlottesville work of the joint con- ference-fs the occasion when an ex- pression of opinion from the Chief Ex- ecutive will be most httingly and ef-. Actively timed. An expression of views on the part of the. President would not ScoIie with lesser force from the fact of having been withheld until the final shaping of the measure. but with greater. It is, not likely that the Sestion which the President may make.

DUTY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The Wind-up Institution for Majority
 of Students.

OI
 Ohio State Journal.
 The high school should be made em- phatIcally a wind-up institution, since the great ma ajorty of the youth go no further. Its classic, it's science, its his tory, its philosophy should be so taught and generalized, as to give to each its appropriate influence upon the life of the pupil. These studies should be pursued not so much for their knowledge as for their influence, dis tinction that every educator ought to understand.
 For instance. to be able to analyze a flower, classify it. tell the function of each part, and so on, is knowledge to be learned. but one comes short of the real learning of the flower. if he does not feel in his heart it's beauty and harmony, and to see how close 1t is to the stars. the mountain, the river, and the sunset He can get this in the high school, and he doesn't have to go deep for it. Sometimes. they go as deep as to miss It. It depends upon the teacher and the school; and the school may be across the street from where he lives. We do not deprecate the broader opportunity: we exalt the one that is near at hand.

Another objection was that
would be impossible TO build mold
