an official communication setting forth
to the committee that, with the prevail
ing modes, the young women students
at the school had found the school
lockers too small. In many cases, he
said, the girls could not get their hats
in at all and had to carry them down
corridors and into recitation rooms.
Some of the young women, the
architect added, could get their hats
in by standing them Up sidewise, but
this was unsatisfactory. The thing to
be done, he concluded, was to knock
out the partitions between each pair
of the old lockers, making one out of
two, and then build on a new set, the
cost of the whole proceeding being
estimated at $1,400.

the increase in the value of his farm;
AS to that, he is in precisely the same
relation to the community as the other
land owner.
There has not been much advance
OF the Henry George idea in this couu-
try, (Which was tc take for public
all the uncarncd increment on land,
but it is being very seriously consid-
cred In Great Britain. In Germany. too,
1T has taken firm hold Of the imagina.
tons of the statesmen. who see in it
great possibilities for public revenue.
The tclegraphic dispatches few days
ago recited the consideration of this
question as an Imperial proposition for
Germany, by the Kaiser and his cabl-
net The tentative conclusion was that
there arc too many difficulties III the
way Of applying the principle to I'M
perial financicring; but the subject was
commended TO the different states
forming the Empire as proper method
OF raising revenues for themselves.
We have our doubts, however, sur
missing that under conditions which
would take this "unearned increment -
for public uses, that increment would
vanish as rosy dream. For, If the
seller was not going TO get the price,
he wouldn t ask it.; if the excess over
what he paid for his land would not
be paid 10 him, he would have no in
terest IN fixing high figures upon it;
while of course the buyer would want
to get the land at as a low price as
possible. We can easily see how the
proposed taking of the ''unearned in
crement' for public uses could keep
down the price of land; but not how
it would yield enormous public reve-
nues.
