TECHNICAL CRITICISM.

The mistakes made by artists. novel
lists and poets in matters Of detail, due
to carelessness or inaccuracy OF Observa-
ton, have long been causes Of amuse-
ment and wonder. Hitherto the poets
and nOveists have been considered the
greatest offenders, particularly in their
treatment of the young moon, which. like
all young things, goes TO bed early, and
never yet. rs they would have us believe,
stayed up till midnight to bless the first
kiss Of the lovers with IT'S pure. tender
radiance This Is sheer ignorance. Of
course. Such a slip as DickeDs's in
Nicholas Nickleby," where Squeers sets
one of his victims at Dotheboys Hall to
weed. the garden, although the reader
has just been Informed that the pump Is
frozen, is, on the other hand. simply
carelessness.
Now the moon is making trouble for
the painters rs we'll According to
writer in the current number of q sclen.
tlfic periodical, experts have computed
from the size Of the moon I'm various
pictures that the painted hills on which
II is made to shine vary from forty-three
TO seventy miles in height. Another
artist Of the brush Is accused of having
painted the rainbow inside ont, and OF
having grumblcd when invited TO be true
TO nature. When Turner had finished
one Of his most fiamboyant pictures he
showed 1t with conscious pride to his
housckeeper. who evidently had eyes Of
her own. II have never seen sunset
like that" she said firmly. NO. but
don't you wish you had?" snarled the
Infatuated painter.
There IL no end TO the scope of this
kind Of criticism. A London sartorial
journal published for several years
critique Of the painted clothes at the
National Academy exhibitions. and may
do so yet. A picture " Mr.. Bafour led
It, one season, to complain more In sad
ness than in anger OF that statesman's
habit of graspins the lapel of his coat
when addressing the House, and thereby
spelling the lit Of the collar. Turning to

25 cent rate, production fell to 1884,
OOO.OOO bushels. and in 1893 1t was only
92.OOO.OOO. The Agricultural Depart
ment's crop tables show cOnclusively that
the Price a bushel IN this country has
varied according to the size Of the crop
produced and that changes IL the tariIf
duties had nothing to do with those
variations. During the four years In
which the Mckinley law was In force
our importations were about 100000
bushels. During the three years In
which the Wilson German law was in
force the importations were less than
100000 bushels.
The notion that the domestic potato
industry was affected by the lowering
of the duty between 1894 and 1897 is
altogether fantastic. Almost equally so
is the notion that the free entry OF Ca
madam potatoes under the reciprocity
agreement will injure the potato grower
here 1t may slightly enlarge the sources
of our supply and tend to moderate
excessive fluctuations in prices due to
Irregularities in production. But, ms
Representative Hill, Of Connecticut,
pointed out in his speech in the House
last week. Canada's production Of pota-
toes Is only 100000 bushels year.
while thnt Of the United States in 1909
was 376OO0.0OO and averages about 1885,
100000. Labor conditions are practically
the same In the great potato belt along
the northern border, and freight rates TO
the American markets give an advantage
to home growers. Canada may have a
surplus Of 20,0O0.OOO bushels to send
here, but that contribution would be only
one-ffteenth Of the American crop and
could not control In the adjustment OF
the American market price.
Europe is the great potato producer,
raising fourteen times as large n crop as
North America does. If the American
potato farmer is protected from Euro
pean competition he has nothing to fear
from any rival on the Western CONT
nent.

CHANCELLOR BROWN.

The choice Of new chancellor Of New
York University Is matter Of much
more public interest than 1t would have
been except for the work Of the chan
cellor who last year retired from the
Office. Before DR.. MacCracken's time
the University of the City Of New York.
as 1t was then called, despite the ex-
ceptional proportion Of distinguished
men who had been associated with 1t,
had scarcely begun to realize the pur-
pose of Its founders and was nothing but
"A small Undergraduate college, with
certain nominal connection with a large
proprietary law school and medical
school, Now 1t is q true university in
organization, scope and work, ranking
among the dozen or so largest in
America and enjoying potential oppor-
tunities for future expansion and utility
scarcely second TO any. In such an in
stitution the city Of its home has a deep
interest, which extends in some measure
to the state, and even to the nation.
The selection Of Dr. Elmer Ellsworth
Brown as the new chancellor will be
generally regarded with approval and
with confidence as well suited to assure
the continued growth Of the university
along the lines which In recent years
have proved so useful and so success
full. Hitherto the institution has had
six chancellors, Of whom one was
statesman and the other five were clergy
men. Not one was primarily a profess
sional educator, though Dr. MacCracken
became that for the greater part OF his
active career. The intensely practical
development of the university I'm the
last twenty years has made 1t not only
appropriate bat substantially necessary
that henceforth the chancellor shall be
a man specially trained to the work Of
an educator, and of an educator on the
lines Of modern university work. who,
while infexibly maintaining the prin-
ciples of true culture as fundamental,
appreciates the need of building upon
that foundation structure adapted to
the mulHfariOus requirements Of q COM
pick civilization.
This conception Of university head
appears to be well realized I'm DR.. Brown.
whose life has been given to educational
work, from common school principal
ship to university chair, and whose
five years service at Washington as
United States Commissioner Of Educa-
ton have doubtless given him a compre-
hensive and appreciative view Of the en-.
tire scope Of the American educational
field. The selection will. we believe,
prove suspicious for the university and
II will present to Chancellor Brown op-
pOrtunities Of useful achievement sur
passing those Of the important places
which he has already filed New York
is in practically all respects the metropo.
lis of the Union In educational mat
ters It's primacy is attested Mt least by
the number Of its institutions Of learn
ing and by their multtudinous enrol.
ment. and It will be DR.. Browns work.
at the head Of one OF the greatest Of
those institutions, to confirm that pri-
macy in quality as well as In quantity.

nation as Ambassador 10 Germany.
