SCHURMAN
Cornell President Sees Good in
Big Philanthropy Scheme.
Believes Congress Should Grant Re-
quest for National Charter

Small Detail.

ithaca, n. Y. In an address
before the Council congress o7
Friday night President Jacob Gould
Schurman of Cornell commended the
scheme for the Rockefeller foundation
for which congress has been asked
for a national charter. President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
of several thousand words to this sub
1ect and in summing up he said:
Il recognize that-section No. 2 of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation. authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say, morals n religion, art
and science, and social inter
course, and all that concerns the po-
litical, economic, and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is a vast field for the exercise OF
philanthropy.

benefit of his fellow citizens and a
kind. His character, ability and or.

culable benefit and blessing to a
kind. 1t is in the interest of the ma
ton hat he be given a free hand in
the exercise of his colossal benef-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benefi-
cence. which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
The only change l would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might we'll be left a close
corporation, if Mr.. Rockefeller SO de-
SireS, for a generation. But after that
time | am confident that it would inure

trustees were appointed by the presi-
den of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, oil

be regarded as representing the peO-
pie of the United States, whose vel

Sleeping Hours of Great Men.

In spite of a popular contrary i'm
preston. the majority of great men re-
Quire as much sleep as the average in
d%ividual, n many Of them more.
Some of the greatest, so far from
taking three or -four hours sleep a
day, nave been able to work only two
or three hours out of the "a. Two sue
cessive hours of work was often a
days work for Darwin, four for
Spencer, and three hours a week for
Descartes. The last, like Doctor John
son, was a famous lie-abed, often not
rising till two or three in the after
noon; and his untimely death at fifty
four was attributed by his friends to
his being compelled to rise at five in
the morning, by the enthusiasm of his
royal pupil, Queen Christina, who
chose this hour for her lesson. But
enough great men have had this sin
gular quality of getting as much rest
in four or five hours as other men do
in eight, to enable the moralist and

The town of Dedham is under pro-

and the reply was:
ITO soak roots in it."
The order was filed, and the clerk,
after handing over the bottle and it's

MENACE TO NATION
DANGER IN GROWING cULTIVA-
TON OF THE OCCULT.
Form Of Chaf;atanism Is Spreading
Rapidly, and Seems to Appeal Most
ForcibIy to Women-Wherein
the Harm Lies.

It Is certainly not without appre~
hension and regret that the growing
craze for fortune telling, spiritualism
and the magic arts generally is to be
noted, writes Wellington Hope in the
Chicago American.
All these things have passed beyond
the boundary of pastimes. People
have long since begun to lake them
quite seriously, and it is a matter of
constant surprise to find how many
otherwise quite sensible, level-headed,
practical folk will suddenly declare
themselves believers in some one or
another of the multitudinOus ways of
which people are deceived into the be-
lief hat they can peep into the future
Or the past or find out the unknOWa-
BILE
It would seem as if there were no
means of trading upon the credulity
too ridiculous to be accepted by these
foolish persons, who, by the way, have
always existed since the world began
But in these days when nerves are
rampant, and we grow more and more
highly strung as time goes on, and we
are compelled to live at higher and
h46hCl 1COSu1S II 10 I'll grave I'LL
pOrtance that we should not recklessly
encourage a craze fraught with unde-
niable dangers.
This is an age of athleticism and in
dependence, but withal we fall reader
prey to every form of charlatanism
than our forbears, who made less show
Of physical and mental strength.
This specially applies to women
One finds bachelor" girls skilled in
basketball, ardent "~suffragists," excel

in short, women neither neurotic in
temperament nor weak in body or

you tell them of such a one-to some
new sO-called professor Of occult sci
ence.
This is not the place TO discuss how
far it is possible to use faculties,
which are undoubtedly possessed by
some few persons. There are more
things than are dreamed of in our
philosophy, and so many apparent
miracles are performed, so many won
ders happen every day in the world,
that it is hard to say that anything is
impossible.
But the harm lies in %dabbling with
that which we do not understand, and
encouraging a craze which may do
grave harm. The brain will not bear
to be played with, and whereas ninety
nine persons in a hundred might visit
a fortune teller and be none the worse
for it, the hundredth might receive ir-
~remediable hurt.
For this reason, surely, we should
be in less haste to let young "olks-
even in fun-dabble in the occult.
