RELIGIOUS UNITY.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It was with keen satisfaction that
| read in your edition Of yesterday Dr'
Siverman's splendid plea at the Temple
Emanuel for a moro tolerant attitude Oh
the different sects and religions toward each
other and more united attitude on the
vital question of how they can best benefit
humanity. Would that this note could be
struck oftener, so that men might see the
eternal likenesses instead Of the ephemeral
differences in varying creed3 and religions
Although Or. Silverman speaks only of
Judaism. Catholicism and Professionalism
many other religions and sects could be IN
cluded in this magnificent unity
Dr. Sllverman deprecates missionary
work as being analogous 10 wars OF con-
quest. and yet IL missionaries would en-
deayor to learn as well as 10 teach the
silver thread OF fundamental truth upon
which all religions are strung would be re-
ycaled and the common origin of faiths he
discerned 1t is the Interpreter that is
needed in the world to-day, not only in re-
ligions but in every branch of human ac-
tivity-one who would not only understand
both Sides but who would also contain in
his heart (as said DR.. Felix Adler in re-
cent address) "the flame Of conservation to
humanity"
May such a one come soon, and mean
while let us prepare the way. Such prepa-
ration cannot but be beneficial

New-York tribune., 1912-01-29
MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Irregular tendencies prevail In the
business world. The general volume of
day-to-day trade Is large in most lines,
but commitments for the future are less
in evidence than they recently were, and
extreme conservatism Is exercised by
producer and consumer in current op-
eratiOns. In the jobbing and retail
trade staple goods are In fair demand.
Improvement is under way in drygoods,
while the textile market as whole
presents much more satisfactory APP
pearance than has been noted in many
months Raw cotton Is frmer. owing 10
heavy buying by foreign and domestic
mills reflection OF this being found
I'm higher prices In the option market.
The amount Of cotton ginned since Sep
tember | exceeds the governments esti-
mate OF production, showing TO January
IL an excess Of 2S per cent over the
same time last year and 4S per cent
over the like period in 1@9-1O, with a
total of 14,5106T6 bales, which induces
expectation i'm the trade of final yield
of more than 1J,OO0,0OO bales. Although
commodity price movements are irregu-
lar. staples dealt in on the speculative
exchanges in most instances are higher
than the levels recorded week ago, the
cereals being uniformly stronger. while
quotations for hogs and general pro-
visions are somewhat easier.
Reports from the steel industry show
a falling off in the volume of new orders
for finished materials, development
wholly in line with expectations based
upon the tariff tinkering by the House
Democrats. who propose an average re-
duction of 80 per cent in iron and steel
duties. Actual orders for rails are under
recent estimates. and most consumers of
general steel products are conhning
their purchases in large part to immedi-
ate requirements their unwillingness to
place contracts for the future being
quite natural in view Of tariff uncertain-
ties and political activities against the
United States Steel Corporation. At the
moment the heaviest specifications are
for tin and sheet bars, for which, in
some instances, small premium Is paid
for prompt delivery. The official price
Of copper is 14h cents a pound. but lit
tie business is done at that figure, and no
special activity Is reported at conces-
sions the market being extremely quiet
both at home and abroad. Users Of the
metal appear to he well supplied.
Bank cearings show some improve
ment as compared with this period a
year ago, but considerable loss from
the corresponding time in 1910. Re-
turns received by the commercial agen-
cies from points outside of New York
make better exhibit than that reported
here, particularly I'm Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore Pittsburgh and San
Francisco the indifferent showing in
New York being chiefly due to a falling
off in stock market transactions from
those recorded at this time in 1911.
Railroad gross earnings for the first two
weeks in January show a decline of
New-York tribune., 1912-01-29
MORE TIME FOR SCHOOLING.

MORE TIME FOR SCHOOLING.
The conviction that more time ought
10 he given in each year TO attendance
at school is becoming widespread ana
positive. and in several states admins
trative or even legislative steps are be-
ing taken toward putting ii into erect.
In some 1t is purposed TO shorten the
long summer vacation and thus add sew
eral weeks To the length Of the school
wear. and In some to increase the number
of hours of school each day. The former
plan could surely in most cases be adopt
ed without hardship, while the latter is
of less certain practicabiity, though cur
failing of the vacation at one or both
ends might he objected 10 In the large
cities. where it would interfere with the
customary family arrangements for go
ing out of town for the summer.
Another plan for attaining the same
end is that of decreasing the number OF
holidays. In some states these have be-
come Il serious loss TO the time of school
ing The schools are closed outright for
five or six days during the year, while
part of each preceding day Is taken
from lessons for celebration. When
holiday occurs on Thursday the schools
are in some places kept closed on the fol
lowing day, Friday; and when It occurs
in midweek the break In the continuity
of study is seriously detrimental. To
deal with this evil some states, as, for
example. California and Michigan, have
now ordered by law that only five holi-
days shall be permitted, namely, New
Years. Memorial Day, Fourth Of July,
THANKSGIVING and Christmas and as
three of these occur when schools are
closed for vacations there are left only
two TO break the school calendar. In
this there will be material and percepu-
bic gain.
On holidays of such universal obsery-
ance as those mentioned 1t is doubtless
fitting that schools should be closed In
order that the children may unite with
the rest Of their families in celebrations.
But on such days as Washington'S Birth
day. LincOlns Birthday, Flag Day, Co
lumbus Day and the like there IS no such
excuse for closing the schools, and the
days or the events which they com
mcmorate will he more honOred by keep
ing them in session and devOtirg an hour
to suitable exercises.
