parative and critical. There is at
present no such institution in the Unit
ed States, all the law schools being
wholly vocational or professional in
character.
"a department of preventive medi-
cine is also planned as an adjunct Of
the medical school. More and more
attention is being given to the public
health. The need of properly trained
men and women to carry on the work
of prevention is urgent. That the mat
ter is more and more engaging the
public attention is shown by many
recent suggestions that there be es-
tablished secretaryship Of the pub

Great Teachers School.
"Then training school for teachers
is to be established 1t was formerly
held that no particular training was
necessary for teachers in the lower
grades Of the public schools, but to-
day ideas have changed. People are
beginning to realize that the educa-
tional training of boys and girls must
be placed in the most competent hands.
Another phase Of the university's
activity upon which the move to
Homewood will have particular bear
ing is its collegiate department.. This
department will increase quickly with
the erection of dormitories and closer
association of the men in quiet re-
treat like Homewood, where all the in
struments Of student activities are at
hand. The group system Of under
graduate studies, which has been used
at Johns Hopkins from the start, is
being rapidly adopted by other col
leges.
with the strong incentive to work
which comes from surroundings Of
great intellectual activity such as exist
in the university it is predicted that
the collegiate department after it's re-
moval to Homewood will appeal to
many young men who now turn to the
other colleges on account Of the more
fascinating undergraduate life exist
Ing there. A special endowment for
the college is one of the particular
aims Of the committee. Here will be
firmly established college Of a some
what distinct type. in which without
neglecting athletic and social interests
the subordination Of these forms OF
activity to the intellectual ends for
which institutions Of learning exist
will be recognized"
One of the largest athletic fields in
the country is planned, and botanical
gardens will be laid out.
Alumni throughout the United States
have been asked to assist in the work,
and the prediction is made that the
entire amount will be in hand by the
close Of the year.

del, Milwaukee's newly elected Social
ist mayor, the other night when asked
what the program Of the Socialists
would be.
"There will be no Utopia. no millen-
mum, none of the wild antics that our
opponents have charged to us. There
will be no party bosses, no one man
policy. When we decide upon course
to pursue there will be conferences
with the other Socialists elected, and
the best lines will be followed. We
shall give every one In the party a
chance to be heard and to voice his
sentiment.
Socialism has been given a chance
to show its merit We can do this by
insistent and consistent conservatism.
In a way we are on trial and will
show the people of what metal we are

seems to trouble business men is what

"We propose to have cleaner cars, no
overcrowding, streets sprinkled be-
tween the tracks, and we hope for a
three cent fare, cheaper gas, municipal
Ice and light plants and cheaper bread.
We will do nothing, however, that is
not for the best interest Of the whole
city, and when any matter relating
directly to the people Of the city comes
up which the Social-Democratic Off
Gals believe should not be decided by
themselves there will be referendum
to the people.
Business men need have no fears.
We shall do nothing contrary to good
government to ALLEVIATE the splendid

crat party will be to reassure the peo-
pie and relieve their minds of any fear
that our victory means an entire over
turning of present business conditions.
The talk Of war on the business inter-
ests Of the city is like the other wild
tales that the old party leaders have
told the people would result from our
success.
1--WE are not planning to do anything
to injure the best interests Of the city.
1t is true that we have many plans for
the improvement of conditions. We
shall make the corporations pay their
share Of the taxes and shall improve
the condition of the laboring men of
the city. But we will not do anything
revolutionary. That would turn senti-
ment so strongly against us that we
would not even accomplish the good
that we can by being conservative.
To Give Good Government.
1.-THE election was not the result of
one campaign. 1t is the victory that
comes to cause after twenty-six years
Of the hardest kind of work. We have
flooded this town with literature and
have had men on the stump in and out
of campaign times educating the work
ingmen to the opportunities that lay
before them. We have not promised
the workingmen or the city at large an
immediate panacea for ills. We have
promised the best government that we
can give. and we are going to live up
to that promise"
Victor l.. Berger, whose reputation
as a Socialist leader extends through
out the United States, had this to say
about the election:
This victory marks a new epoch in
American history, and any man or
woman who has helped to bring ft
about will naturally feel proud. This
Is nobody's personal victory. 1t is not
Seiders; it is not Berger's victory. It
Is victory for principle, victory
for progress, a little step toward
higher phase Of civilization"
The completed returns Of the cleo
ton show that the Social Democrats
have practically complete power in the
city for the next two years. SeideI,
for mayor got 100 plurality. Seiders
plurality is thus the largest in the his
tory of Milwaukee's municipal cleo
tons with the exception Of the election
Of 1893, when David S. Rose, Demo
crat, had 1910.
The total vote was as follows:
Seidel, 27,G22; V. j. Schoenecker, Jr.,
Democrat, 20,513. and DR.. John M.
Beffel, Republican, 1892.
The new council consists Of twenty
one Social-Democrats, ten Democrats
and four Republicans. In the new
board Of supervisors there are eleven,
Social-Democrats, three Republicans {
and two Democrats. The Social Dem
ocrats also elected two out of seven
civil judges, while ten bond questions
providing for various city improve
ments carried
An analysis of the vote shows that;
many Republicans and Democrats sup
ported the Socialists.
