FOR ANTl-HAZING PROPAGANDA

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The announcement in a recent issue

culture had been appointed in Princeton
University calls for some suggestions ger

and intention TO care for the body" and
no doubt is convinced Of its Importance

to create a public sentiment against the
practice Of hazing?
I refer not 20 Princeton alone, but 70 all
our colleges and universities where this Is
allowed, notably in the city OF New York.
Let us hope that this new professor. in
addition to promoting the physical develop
ment Of the students, will inculcate such
disgust for the cruel practice called hazing
that IL may cease among our colleges and
universities, whose officials at present ig-
more and permit disgraceful atrocities.

more honorable, more manly, than this. for
the armed are fighting the armed and all
have an equal chance.
Let US hope that the new professor will
demonstrate the barbarity of hazing, and
as he teaches physical development will
impress on our youth the duty Of the sound
body as the temple OF the sound mind. and
the crime OF disfgurng or mutilating It.

KEEPING COOL.

The chairman of the House Committee
OH Appropriations, we are told. has tried
with signal success Or. Wiley's recipe
for keeping cool, the latest addition TO a
body Of summer advice already immeas-
urably long. The honorable gentleman

vANUFAoTURING IN TENEMENTS

uaNJFACTUPING IN TENEMEN7'S.
Assemblyman Chambers bill, which has
nossed the lower house and Is IN the
hands of tile Senate Finance Committee
nrovides fora much needed inquiry by
commission of legislators and private
citizens into the conditions under WHICH,
manufacturing is carried on in the tehe-
ments of this city. The state labor law
nrovides that the manufacturing OF GER
tain enumerated articles In homes call
not be conducted without a license. but
it mentions only forty-one articles ana
there are now over sixty articles not
named i'm the law which are maze III
tenements and for the home manuiact-
IRE of which no license is required.
Moreover il is notorious that even the
articles for whose manufacture a license
is required are often made in unlicensed
places.
INSPECTION is inadequate, and the con-
ditions are often indescribably bad, the
health Of the community being lmperilled
by the bad sanitary surroundings under
which articles of wearing apparel are
manufactured. Women work long hours
finishing clothing, curling feathers or
making artificial flowers. and children
are kept from school TO help at the in
dustry.
Some conception Of the evils Of tene-
ment manufacture in general is afforded
by the investigation Of home finishing
in the ready made clothing industry con-
Quoted by the federal government The
Investigators found solid blocks in New
York City where three-fourths of the
apartments were occupied by clothing
workers finishing garments at home. The
work was done in kitchens and bedrooms
chiefly. Women often worked from
in the morning till 10 or II o'clock at
night. "In the 800 households in New
York" says the report, lin which there
were 233 children between the ages of
eight and thirteen years inclusive,
there were thirty of this number,
"or more than Is per cent, who did not
attend any school. but were illegally
kept at home and assisted in the house
work or home finishing" The death
rate of children under five years old was
found in a block largely given up to the
making of clothing in tenementS TO be
almost twice that for children Of the
same age in the whole city. The CON
ditiOns under which the work was done
were found to be unsanitary in the high
est degree. contagious diseases often ex-
listing unreported in places where wear
ing apparel was being finished. The
United States government report upon
this one industry carried on in tenements
confirms the reports Of private investi-
gators regarding the conditions which
they have found TO exist generally, and
il affords sufficient reason for such a
thorough inquiry as Mr.. CHAMBERS bill
proposes.

PROGRESS IN CHINA.

Progress In China has hitherto DeeI
proverbially slow, when it has exis'eu
at all. and there have been many WIZ
have confidently disbelieved In the pos.
sibility Of the immemorial inertia OF tha'
strange people ever being so far over
come as to permit their taking theii
place among the advanced and enllght
ened nations of the West. That Judg'
ment will now, however, have to be re-
considered and reversed, and there VIII
be some danger Of going to the opposi'e
extreme and Of reckoning China 10 10
one Of the swiftest moving Of nations.
1t is not that, but 1t is certainly no
sluggard In reform. Ordered progress IS
in essential respects really the most ex-
peditious because it suffers the least
need Of hating and Of occasionally re-
tracing its steps. That is the sort OF
progress which China is making. In the
early part Of 1905 an imperial commits
sion studied the constitutional systems
Of other lands, and in the fall Of that
year the Emperor promised the Chinese
such a system as soon as they were
ready for It. In 1908, the date Of the
completion Of the transformation was
fixed at 1915, and a regular time table
Of steps leading thereto was arranged.
Since then there has been not n single
check nor reaction, but on the contrary
1t has been found possible to expedite
the process beyond the original expecta-
ton. so as to run ahead Of the schedule.
Thus far the whole educational sys-
TEN OF the empire has been transformed
and placed upon Western basis. the
binding Of wOmen's feet and the wear
ing OF the queue have been abolished,
the opium traffic and habit have been
enormously reduced and will be entirely
abolished within the next five years, the
army and navy have been recognized
on Western models. railroads and other
great public works have been under
taken by the Chinese themselves instead
of being intrusted to aliens. provincial
legislatures and the elements Of an i'm
perial parliament have been created
constitutional ministry after the Eu-
ropean model has been organized. the
currency is being reorganized and Sun
day has been officially adopted as a uni
versal day of rest.
These are Just few Of the salient
features Of one Of the most noteworthy
and most hopeful national awakenings
in history. They make it clear that
within the next few years the world will
be confronted with a new China. or
ganized and conducted in the most ad-
vanced Western fashion and endowed
with the marvellous adaptiveness. pa
thence. endurance and resolution which
have for ages been characteristic Of that
race. and backed with the force Of hum
dreds OF millions and with the untold
natural resources OF what Is still largely
virgin territory.
