UNDERGRADUATE PHILOSOPHY.
An Evolution Which Usually Develops
Constructive Action.

Undergraduate philosophy of life is an
evolution. 1t consists of three stages !:
the first is characterized by sense of
calamity or fear as the student leaves
behind the observances and conventional
creeds of childhood, held with umques-
tioning and often unthinking assent. He
begins to think for himself. He enters
an atmosphere of questioning and scien-
tifc discovery an environment in which
facts come before opinions His first
alarm is because he thinks he is losing
his religion. He says. like the prophet
Micah, when the hostile Danites took
away his images. aye have taken away
my gods what have | morep
His next step is often toward over
liberality. His god is breadth of mind.
He reyels in his impartial view of men
and the universe. BY turns he calls him
self a pantheist, a pragmatist, or an ag-
nostic. His religious position is at times
summed up in the description of young
college curate by bishop who said the
young man arose in his pulpit with
self-coniidence begotten of fancied wis
dom, SAYING to his expectant hearers:
Dearly beloved, you must repent-as it
were; and be eonverted-in a measure, or
be damned Ito a certain extent!'
The third stage of the undergraduate
is usually in line with constructive ac-
ton He begins to be interested in doing
something and practice for him, as for
men generally helps to solve the riddle
OF the universe. The best test of college
theology, or college philosophy is its
serviceableness, its power to attach the
student to something which needs to b.
done, and which he can do, Many an
undergraduate whose college course has
seemed an intellectually unsettling pc
Rod has found himself upon solid ground
as soon as he has begun seriously to en-
gage in the worlds work.From Clayton
Sedgwiek Cooper's "The American I'm

engineers are accepted, the only aim in
connection with river and lake pollution
is to avoid nuisance, leaving the mat
ter of eliminating the pathogenic bac-
terra to be accomplished by filtration of
the water supplies derived from those
streams or lakes
On the other side are many, if not
most, of the state boards of health, which
would secure as high degree of purif-
cation as practicable with view to
maintaining our streams in condition
as nearly approaching that of their orig
inal purity as possible 1t seems prob
able that the Pittsbuig case may be
taken to the courts. In fact, it is to be
hoped that this viii be done, and prompt
ly, and that all of the leading sanitarians
of the country be called upon to testify
as experts. since this is at present the
most important and fundamental prn-
ciple of all sewage disposal problems.

Ida M. Tarbell Says Girls Do Not Real
ize the Importance of Marriage

IN the March American Magazine, Ida
NJ Tarbell, who is beginning series
of articles on women writes Of "The
Business of Being a Woman She says
tl;at the ordinary girl is entirely uneon-
scious OF the supreme Importance OF her
mate-to-be. Following is an extract:
''The direst result Of ignorance or of
distorted ideas of this tremendous mat
ter of carrying on human life is that it
leaves the girl unconscious of the. SUI
preme Importance of her mate. So heed
lessly and ignorantly is our mating done
to day that the huge machinery OF
church and state and the tremendous
power of public opinion have been in
sufficient to preserve to the insttu-
ton of marriage anything like the sta
bility it once had or that it is desir-
able that it should have, if its full
possibilities are to be realized. The
immortality and inhumanity of compel
ling the obviously nis-mated to live to-
gether, grows on society. Divorce and
separation are more and more tolerated.
Yet little is done to prevent the hasty
and ill-considered mating which is at
the source of the trouble.

her companion. The corollary of this
tad proposition is that she has no suf
flcient idea of the seriousness of her
undertaking. She starts out as if on
lifelong joyous holiday, primarily de-
vised for her personal happiness. And
what is happiness in her mind? Too
often it is that of the modern uneasy
women-the attainment of something
outside of herself. She visualizes it.
as possessions, as ease, good time,
opportunities for self culture, the ex-
elusive devotion of the mate to her.
Rarely does she understand that hap
pliess in her undertaking depends upon
the wisdom and sense with which she
conquers succession OF hard places
calling for readiustment of her ideas
and sacrifice of her desires. All this
she must discover for herself. She is

STOPS PHONE 'RUBBERING'
AND GETS $4,000
Webster Boy Sells Invention to the New
England Telephone Com


Webster, Mass, March S.-Philip Law
cry, 81 years old, has sold to the New
England Telephone company his rights
to an invention now being patented that
viii probably revolutionize the telephone
systems of the country. The Webster
boy, employed in the Stevens linen
works, signed the agreement, whereby
he gets $1,000 for his invention.
The invention covers a detail of the
telephone that has been worked on for
years, and it remained for him to pro-
duce the goods. It is intended to pre-
vent any person from overhearing con-
versation between two parties on tele
phone system. It not only cuts off all
chance of another subscriber overhearing
conversation, but also the operators
in the central exchange.
That the invention was considered Of
sterling Importance was shown Wednes-
day, when young Lavery, at the request
of telephone officials from Boston, Wor-
cester and Springfield, gave demonstra-
ton on the eompany's lines in Webster.
Tests were made on four different kinds
OF telephones, and each test was a com
plete success.
The invention of young Lavery is the
work of nearly two years, and the
young inventor said the idea is so SIM
pie it was u mystery nobody thought
OF it before. The continuance is about
two inches wide and fits into each in
dividual instrument. There are two
working parts, of mica and steel
Mrs. Lavery told OF the studious hab-
its of her son, and said that out Of
spending money of 81 a week allowed
him, he spent So a month in paying for
course in electrical engineering in a
correspondence school.
Young Lavery said: 1T was nearly
two years ago that took up this course,
and shortly after | began | became in
terested in a circular sent out by the
school, calling attention to the need
Of certain inventions in the electrical
world. Among others was one that con
cerned the telephone, and was in effect
that contriyanCe or system that would
prevent rubbering ON the wire was one
of those needed
81 went right at work on the idea,
and worked nights, after coming from
work and after / had studied on the
school matters. Not until Feb. % did
apply for patent.
Laverv SAYS Walter Bandlow. who has
been associated in the work for some
time, will get share of the $1,000
in the invention, though the patent will
be in Lavery's name.
Lavery will finish out the week in
the mill, but will quit Saturday night
lie intends to devote all his time to
electrical work.
Layery is experimenting TO apply his
principle to the telegraph systems, and
said he has it practically completed.

A Rational Holiday Schedule.

= writer in The Survey observes that
the irregular distribution of the holidays
throughout the year and their changing
coincidence with the days of the week
often entail hardship on the workaday
world For instance, where a holiday
falls on Tuesday or Friday many bust
ness concerns seize the opportunity in
dull times to cut their payroll by clos
ing down on the Monday preceding or
Saturday following, thus enforcing a
tWo-day holiday with corresponding loss
10 the employe; then, again. when such
holidays fall in midweek, the holiday
spirit on the days preceding and follow
ing seriously intcrferes with the efiicien-
cy of HE worker and thus involves Il
hardship on the employer" The remedy
proposed is the transposition Of most
holidays te Monday and their more even
DISTRIBUTE ion throughout the year; thus,
Washington day would be observed or
the Monday following February>22, Lin
coin dav on the first Monday in April,
and SO on. This order would secure
for our industrial army a two and one
half days respite from toll, with loss OF
only one DAYS pay. and would insure for
the employer better weeks product
