YANKEE RACE DYING OUT.
High Cost of Living One Cause, Says
Harvard Professor.

The Yankee race. which is the pure
English stock, is almost extinct, ac-
cording to the views Of Professor Al
bert Bushnell Hart Of the department
of history and government at Harvard
university. Moreover. he has Stats
tics to prove that his contention CON
tains some truth.
Among the conditions to which Pro
fessor Hart attributes the decadence
of the Fed blOoded American are the
increased cost of living. late mar
riages, expensive educations and other
social conditions of contributory ma
ture. The figures on which he bases
his positive assertion come from the
United States census and a perusaI of
the class histories of Harvard.
There have been great changes in
the ages of marriage and the per cap
ita number of children since colonial
times" says Professor Hart Some
of the changes are of startling ma

the financial editor of one of the lead
ing American daily newspapers. The
owner of the paper was recognizing

cial department, and, casting about
for a suitable man, he thought of
Hadley, whose writings on railroad
administrations and other economic
matters had gained him reputation.
Hadley's name, he felt. would be a

The newspaper owner Immediately

free hand in his work. agreeing to
such stipulation in the contract If
Hadley desired. Moreover. he was at

YORK UNIVERSITY.
greatest female astronomer of all ages
and lovingly called tthe mother of the
stars Emma Willard, who planned
the higher education Of her sex and
fought for 1t until it became an ac-
complished fact, and Mary Lyon, one
OF the most successful and progressive
educators of all time.
This year the names of two other
women have been chosen for the
Hall of Fame Harriet Beecher Stowe
and Frances e. Willard. The nine
men selected are Edgar Allan Poe,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Roger viii
Hams, James Fenimore Cooper, Phil
lips Brooks, William Cullen Bryant,
Andrew Jackson, George Bancroft and
John Lothrop Motley. The vote for
Mrs. Stowe is remarkable, inasmuch
as no one received such majority in
this election. On this occasion no
member of the soldier group or the
scientist or jurist group received fifty
one votes, which Is the number re-
Quired for ratification.
Eleven bronze tablets to bear the
names chosen will be designed. with
an appropriate quotation. Each tablet
viii have upon it quotation from the
ntterances of the person in whose
honor 1t win be dedicated. The formal
unwilling will take place in October,
1911.
When the new names have been add
ed the number in the authors corner
will far exceed the number in the
statesmen's corner and the soldiers
corner. which gives added weight to
the theory of the pen and the sword.
Curious incidents of this years bal
loting were that Chief Justice Melville
w. Fuller of the United States SUI
preme court died week after his bal
lot was received, and United States
Senator Jonathan r. DoIliver of Iowa
died exactly the same length of time
after his ballot came in. Senator DoIli-
yer had been an electer only since
March, when he was chosen to fill the
place of Edward Eggleston.
One Of the noteworthy facts of this
years election is that the historian
Motley gained four votes over the
1905 election, while the historian Park
man lost two votes. One of the notable
gains Is that of Phillips Brooks, whose
vote IN the five years increased from
20 to 60, although no competitor In fhe

"HE selection recently of eleven
new names for the Hall OF
Fame has naturally recalled
much of interest concerning
the building erected by the New York
university in 1900. In that year the
council of the university accepted a
gift of 100000, afterward Increased
to $2J0.000. for the erection on Uni
versity heights, New York city, of a
building to be called 1.-The Hall of
Fame For Great Americans" A struc
ture was accordingly built in the form
Of q semicircle SOC feet long, Is feet
wide and 10 feet high connecting the
university hall of philosophy with the
hall of languages. The object in erect
ing the Hall of Fame was to have a
structure which should stand for all
time as an incentive to the ambition
of youth the contents of which should
present to them the best examples of
all that was noblest, most helpful and
encouraging in American history.
Within the colonnade of the building
were placed $50 panels, each 2 by 8
feet, to bear the names of those who
are deemed the leaders in philosophy,
philanthropy, law, craftsmanship, lit
erature. art, education, invention and
public service. One hundred leading
men of the day were chosen to select
candidates for this Hall Of Fame. and
every five years they ballot upon

which are placed in the panels built
in the structure for that purpose.
In 1900 twenty-nine names were
chosen for the Hall Of Fame. eleven
names in 1905 and eleven this year,
making fifty-one names thus far select
ed. The first name selected was that
Of George Washington. He received
the unanimous vote of the college
electors. Others chosen in 1900 and
1905 include Lincoln, Webster, Clay,
Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and ia
