The disclosures attending the inves-
igation of the white slave traffic have
resulted in plans for the protection
of young girls in the larger cities of
the country which promise to be of the
greatest practical benefit. The thous-
ands of inexperienced and friendless
young women who are annually drawn
to the cities by promises of lucrative
employment held out to them by the
employment bureaus are no longer to
be left to make their way utterly
alone, but are to be watched over and
if need be assisted by two very power
full organizations in Chicago and by
organizations along similar lines in
every large city in the country, The
Illinois Vigilance Association and the
Law and Order League are the two
organizations which have taken up the
work of protecting young women in
Chicago and it is hoped and believed
that the work of these two bodies will
be the means of keeping hundreds of
women and young girls out of the
hands of the procurers and make the
work Of recruiting for the white slave
traffic not only difficult, but extreme
lY dangerous. All that the associa-
tion asks is that the parents or guar
dams of young women and girls who
propose to come to Chicago inform the
officials Of the association of whatever
arrangements for employment have
been made and the association will
make it its business to ascertain the
character of the employment bureau
offering the position and by what in
tluence they viii be surrounded after
reaching the city Morec, err the as.
ISOLATION is ready to go much farther
and investigate the manner of living
of any woman who is sending home dis
eouraging reports of the progress she
IS making. In other words the asso-
citation proposes to act as guardian for
all the friendless and helpless young
women who come to the city to make a
living or to attend any of the educa-
tional institutions where they are left
to their own devices after school hours
and the high character and standing
of the membership of the organization
is a guarantee that the young woman
who may be placed in its care will
have a protector strong enough to in.
sure their safety. These organiza,
tions do not propose to work with a
flourish of trumpets and parents and
guardians can confde in them with the
absolute assurance that their girls will
be protected and, if need be, rescued
from lives of shame without any pub
Lefty 1t is a great and noble work
that these organizations have taken ur
and the pity of it is that the necessity
for powerful protection for young girl:
was not more apparent years ago. The
men and the money were there ready
and willing ali the time to fight the
vultures of the white slave trade, bu-
it was beyond the belief of most mer
that the regularly organized forces Of

UtlIlty in Studies.

President Schurman's questioning
of the utility OF teaching modern Ian.
guages in colleges is somewhat sur
prising While it may be true. as he
claims, that not one in 500 outside of
teachers will use them, this is not a
valid reason for disseminating them as
studies Such a test could be made
to sweep the college curricula Of near
ly every study now considered essen
tial. What would become of the high
er mathematics If this test were ap-
piled? Who uses comic sections of
trigonometry In his business? What
business man has actual recourse to
what he learned Of chemistry OF min
eralogy? The utilitarian test can be
applied too rigidly to college studies
with the result of greatly narrowing
the college curriculum. The cultural
studies ought to have chance.-Min-
