CLASSES HINDER REFORM
American Says Social Cleavage
Impedes England's Progress.

London, Aug. 31-Professor Robert
+. Hieronymus. secretary 81 the
Illinois Educational Commission. who
has been in England for the last six
weeks studying industrial education.
is greatly IMPRESSED by the difficulties
which class distinctions In this coun-
try present IN solving the problem Of
lettering the condition Of the masses.
He saws II has come 10 be recog-
nlzed In the last ten or fifteen years
by all interested In the subject that
The great problem is Industrial educa-
ton for the masses. This problem. OF
course. is the outgrowth Of tho great
labor unrest which IL felt all over
the world. he says. and the proper
solution OF II VIII go far toward solv-
ing other and greater problems hav-
/, ing TO do with the general causes ot
unrest and the relief Of the burdens
of the masses Of the people
Comparing England with America,
Professor Hieronymus asserts that
the methods by which the two coun-
tries seek 10 solve the question are
practically the same, but in America
the nublic school system. which brings
children OF all classes together I'm n
common life. and the absence of hard
and fast lines of cleavage between
the varying classes of society make
the practical task Of putting into ef-
feet theories Of social economies far
easier than In England
, People in England are born into
classes, and class distinction is part
Of their education from earliest child
hood. Only with the greatest difficulty
do they combat the traditions of CEN
turies and escape from the groove In
which they are first set. In America.
on the other hand, there is no less
truly class distinction. but IL is the
natural order or social and economic
/, life for members OF one class to ANAL
gnmate and fuse with those OF the
next higher class. and IL is not an I'M
usual thing to see a man from the
lowest class in the course Of one
generation progress through the whole
series of the social order from the
lowest to the highest. This is what
makes England's problem so much
harder than that of America.
Ensland's technical schools are
wonderful examples of educational in
stitutions. The Royal Technical Col
lege at Glasgow. Professor Hiorony-
mus says, is the finest technical school

man in England who takes "A live in

conditions of class distinction offer
almost insuperable difficulties TO the

|TO PROTECT ST. PAUL'S
London's Cathedral to Have
Modern Fire Fighting Plant.
fBy Cable 10 The Tribune.

London. Aug. 31.-The dean and
CHAPTER Of st. Pauls Cathedral nave
been worrying recently over ;he TWO
fires that destroyed the famous catne-
dral In A. y. 1855 and 1866 and nave
decided that the structure FOR which
they are responsible must be protected
against any repetition of those dlsas-
tiers, and by means, too, OF a modern
FIRE lighting plant.
Experiments made recently By the
London Fire Brigade showed that the
present appliances are entirely hade-
ouate. Two of the motor engines OF
the brigade succeeded in throwing wa
ter over the dome on clear. stu day,
but with go little force as to be prac-
ticalIy useless, while with tho slightest
wind II would be impossible TO make
the water reach the top Of the dome.
Since then. under the direction OF
Mervyn Mccartney, the cathedral
architect, workmen have been busy
installing new apparatus, by which IL
will be possible 10 pour water on any
part OF the building from crypt to
dome. Four inch mains have been
run up outside the walls at each cor
ner of the cathedral to a cornice sixty
feet above the ground and similar pipes
lead into the crypt
The pipe in the northeast corner viii!
lie continued In the organ loft whilo
another branch will be taken up well
above the main roof TO a stone gallery.
whence il Will pass to the base OF the
dome and feed the hydrants In the
dome.
Still another main will be led up the
facade TO the golden gallery and con-
tinue TO the lantern. and there will be
q hydraulic accumulation to pump wa
ter up from the ground level. as well
as twenty-six new hydrants In addi-
ton to those already installed.
what is called a dry main" is TO
be run up the outer wall opposite the
staircase to tho top of the staircase
with hose connections. TO which firemen
can attach short lengths OF hose, while
engines connect with the ground level
and the main.
The work Is not expected 10 be
finished for several months
