Father of Photography.

Photography is in it's seventy-second
year. In that time 1t has progressed
from an obscure scientific experiment
to a general pastime and vast lnous-
try The period Of its speediest ana
widest spread development has been IN
the past twenty years. The practice
Of the art has been so simplified that
any one who can press bulb or but
ton operating the shutter can take
picture, or at least can make pho
Geographic record This is day when
every camera fend and every one in
terested in photography should pause
and think back a century, for today is
the centenary Of the birth OF the man
generally, perhaps universally, credited
with making the first photograph. He
was John William Draper, author and
man of science. Born at st. Helens.
near Liverpool. May 5. 1911. he emf
grated to Virginia in 1888: in 1889 be-
came professor of chemistry in the Uni
versity of New York. from 1850 to 1873
was president of the medical depart
ment Of that university, and in 1882 he
died. His literary works on scientific
subjects were numerous and important.
In 1899 he made a likeness Of his
daughter, Dorothy Catherine Draper,
by means which came to be called
photography. He set up a gallery" on
the roof of the building occupied by
the New York University in Washing
ton square. He used a cigar box as his
camera and a glass out of spectacles
as the lens.
The hundredth birthday of DR.. Draper
is being celebrated by the University
Of New York today and by numerous
persons familiar with the history Of
photography. The daguerreotype proc
ess had been known for thirteen years
when DR.. Draper began the develop
ment OF photography. The achievement
OF Daguerre was probably his inspi-
ration.
1t is curious that many amateur pho
tographers who read this will perhaps
see for the first time the name Of DIR.
Draper mentioned in connection with
photography. Fame is often unsubstan-
tial, and the world frequently forgets
those who have done much for its ben
eft and pleasure.

A Subsidized Press.

Nobody acquainted with the facts will
challenge the statement of Assistant Sec
rotary Wilson of the State Department,
made to the National Peace Congress,
mat the United States has been injured
in the eyes of the people of Latin Amer
lea and of the far east by sensational
yarns OF sensational newspapers purport
ing to- treat Of our national aims and
TO interpret our national performances.
Abuses of that kind have been nu-
merous and fiagrant. and now and then
miSchievous. Putting an end to them
would be a great public service, and
welcomed here at home and elsewhere.
But the remedy proposed by Mr.. Wilson
would be futile What influence would
few subsidized newspapers have? Who
would accept them as newspapers? What
part of the real power of the press
would they exercise" Suppose they were
conducted with an eye single to the end
proclaimed-the fostering of good feeling
between this country and our neighbors
to the south and the countries of the
far east Who would accept them ex-
cept as special pleaders? How could
they escape the charge of suppressing
all that did not fall in with their pur-
poses. though at times disagreeabie
exist?
Now and then some ambitious polti-
clan condemns the everyday press agen-
cies as inadequate or corrupt, or both,
and for his campaign purposes starts a
dodSer of his own He is going TO give
the people the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, if the heavens
fall. Voters, he declares, have been too
Lon, IS oI-a
it business 10 distort or suppress facts
of Importance III their entirety to the
public. He will give the country SAM
pie of what it needs in the newspaper
line. and trust to fortune to raise up
imitators.
But what does he give the country?
Certainly not a newspaper. but only
sheet carrying all that he thinks the
country should receive. and in the form
most serviceable to himself. He dis
tributes nothing but what in his judg-
ment is calculated to advance one or
two projects of Importance in his own
eyes. News is not his object. His read
ers. few or many. must look elsewhere
for what they should have in the way
OF information about the general drift OF
things and the reasons. While con-
both distorting and suppressing facts
while proclaiming virtue in black-face
type.
But il the yellow press-which often
defeats itself-could be reached, what
about yellow politicians and hysterical
agitators whose types are their tongues?
How are they to be suppressed? They
are fruitful agencies OF harm. Their
at
newspaper yarns. They see yellow, and
talk yellow, and. whether Intentionally
or not, forward yellow ends. Part OF our
embarrassment in Latin America and
the orient is chargeable directly to the
Nominations of American politicians af
fecting to see slaughter in foreign pur-
poses toward US, and advocating slaugh-
ter on our part against those they have
picked out as the nations enemies. Their
silence could not be secured by subsi-
died press.

all-the-year school urge that as the school
! day is short it ought not to interfere
with the children getting the necessary
| amount of exercise and outdoor, pleasure
That school plants are not worked to
| the limit of their capacity is criticism
that is frequently made. Impetus was
| given to this discussion by the Carnegie
! Foundation report late last winter. the
| writer of that report observing that
factory running on half time while the
demand for its product remained unsat-
| isfied would not be considered efficient.
\ writer in the Engineering Record says
that in the average college there are
only liz days in each year upon which
college exercises are held. These 172
days constitute - per cent of the avail
able working time during the school year
and only ~ per cent of the total work
ing time of the calendar year. 1t can
hardly be said that an institution Is eff
ficiently managed when it utilities only
Z. per cent OF its available working pc
rioJ and certainly the equipment and
plant cannot he used to the greatest ad-
vantage if the students are present only
~ per cent OF the available working days
in the calendar yeay." To reach this
conclusion the days OF the summer vaca-
ton and the Thanksgiving. Christmas.
Easter and other holidays are subtractcd
from the calendar year The argument
is that educational plants representing
SO many millions of dollars of capital
should run full time, with relays of
scholars and teachers. The effectiveness
of this system may be tried some time,
but the time is not now.
On the whole, school plants in this
country are utilizing more of their time
than formerly. There is a trend toward
fuller time At first there were no
schools. Then there were few with
short terms. The terms gradually length
ened and schools and scholars multiplied.
Among the larger educational institutions
the summer school has come into exist
ence, and In the cities public school sys-
TENS adopting the night school and
the vacation school idea. There are
night schools In one-third of the cities
of the United States having population
of or in excess of 5000. and Of the cities
of and above $4,000 one-half have night
schools and one-thrd of them vacation
schools
The very fact that there is SO much
discussion of the loss in having buildings
and plants in which much capital is
invested remain idle about half the year
shows that an increas sing number of peo-
pie are thinking Of this as waste
The idea is also taking root that the
school shall be social center. Rochester
three years ago put into operation the
plan of making each schoolhouse neigh
borhood social center, and the plan has
worked we'll. The University Of Wiscon-
sin is arranging to have similar plan
put into execution by the public schools
Of that state. The schoolhouse lecture
course and literary entertainments are
becoming feature of the winter term
The experiment in Cleveland will be
watched by the school authorities in
other cities. and it may have a marked
bearing on the public school systems of
the country.

Length Of the Session.

Again there is discussion about the
probable length OF the session. The Sen
ate is accused OF being slow, and the
delay is taken in some quarters as evil
dence that the late summer will find
Congress still at work. In other quarters
the opinion is held that after the House
majority has wrangled little over tariff
schedules about which il is divided. and
the Senate has shown its hand TOWARD
the reciprocity pact and the farmers free
list. both sides will profess contentment
with the record, and agree to put up the
shutters and go home. At this stage
OF the game one guess is as good as
another.
The certain things are these: Congress
is at work. the country is Interested, re-
suits are expected. and now is the ac-
Cepted time for the consideration OF mat
tiers about which the public Is keyed up.
Slurring work by haste would be a
blunder.
This is a good time for work. The
stage is set for it. The President is will
ing to stay in town as long as duty calls.
Beverly is a snug resort, and his cottage
there Will soon be ready for occupancy,
but Washington is snug too, and the

Change in China.

That China is waking up seems to be
no dream The Chinese-or consider
able proportion of them-are going in for
change. Some of this change may be in
the direction of progress and reform
One notable thing is that the Chinese
are taking up athletics. A late report OF
the physical director of the Y. NJ c. A.
in Shanghai has it that ball games and
track athletics have become a common
spectacle In China, though no such games
or contests were held in that country up
to ten years ago. The movement toward
athletics indicates a remarkable reversal
of the Chinese mind or Chinese mental
attitude. A few years ago it was consid-
cred undignifed by Chinese to participate
In any game requiring physical exertion.
The Chinese mind could not grasp the
idea of men working so hard merely for
fun. and the Chinaman could not see any
fun in II. Athletic contests nave now
become general in the kingdom
change IS coming over China The
nature and the portent of this are not
understood by western nations There
Is some talk of the progress of republ-
canism, but this should not be taken seri-
ously.' China may become a republic, but
the possibility Of that event is too remote
to be interesting at tnis time. There is
certain breaking away from old
fashioned conceptions. a cutting off of
queues, and drilling Of armies under Eu-
ropean administers. The hatred by the
Chinese for the Manchus and the Manchu
dynasty, always intense, is now active in
some quarters. By some this is inter
preted as warming for greater freedom
and taken as indicative of the growth OF
republican sentiment. By others the
movement is given contrary interpreta-
ton, in that they believe that the pres
ent government of China stands for mod
crate progressivencss and compa ratively
fair treatment for foreign nations, while
the so-called reform or revolutionary
movement stands for anarchy and the
destruction OF the lives and property Of
foreigners.
If there is any republican sentiment in
China 1t is not very well developed The
ferment that Is now agitating that land
may lead to a change Of dynasty, but not
TO a change of the form of government
China is nearer anarchy, to be, followed
by a new despotic dynasty, than repub-
licanism.
