Nearing and Nell;s NJ. 9. Nearing Ths Mac
million Company. New Yost City.
Mr.. Neering has taken the American
woman as his subject. possibly because
the American woman has become better
known in the last century. But his IDEAL,
I should say, fits any country. He has
traced the Industrial revolution that haa
taken so much Of the duties of the old
time woman out of her hands and put
them into the charge Of men. This has
left her more time for leisure and thus
she has had a chance to study and open
her mind, until finally she has asked:
Why Is man the master?
The women in Rome were once in the
same position, Prof. Nearing says. but
they used their idleness for frivolity and
incorporate living, and Rome fell. The
choice Of the American woman Is differ
ent. When the home no longer kept her
every minute filled. she went out and
sought work and development In clubs
and outside interests The result some
day will be the superman-or super
woman.
In the book are included chapters on
eugenics. training for the boy and the
girl. domestic science. and the servant
problem. most probably contributed by
Mrs. Nearing.
Prof. Nearing handles his statistics
in an excellent way. and has a short.
clear-cut method OF reasoning down from
the fact to its inevitable conclusions and
then pointing out the remedy. He touches
on woman suffrage from the viewpoint
CT its effect on woman herself. and its
ultimate effect on the nation mothered
by clear-seeing. sound-reasoning women,
rather than from the view that equal
suffrage Is the immediate cure for all
political evils.
The handicap under which woman has
been working in the past and the ad-
vantages that are opening up to her in the
future are exhaustively discussed in the
book. Prof. Nearing is an instructor at
the University of Pennsylvania and a
known writer on sociological questions.

in a half-hearted way TO the church, but
they do not think of religion as the most
vital thing in life, for which they are TO

NEW ITALIAN SOCIETY URGES
RATIONAL CHRISTIANITY

Rev Gaetano Conte. for some years a
missionary worker among Italians in
New England, is founder of the Asso-
ciszione Italiana di Liberi Credenti Qtal-
ian Association of Free Believers) whose
center is in Florence, and branch COM
rlfttees in Venice. Milan, Rome. and
Palermo and members IN many other
communities. Mr. Conte has no quarrel
with any of the existing churches in
Italy, and is thankful for whatever good
they may accomplish. He is nobly sec
orded in his endeavors by his wife and
children. To his own large family he
has added the education and care of
several little homeless girls.
The purpose of the new association is
to promote the scientific study of religion
and ethics: to provide for the widest
liberty of conscience, to increase sympa-
thy between religious believers of every
shade of opinion; and to diffuse a ra-
ticnaI conception of Christianity. II does
not seek to found another church or
sect, but to prepare the way for such
a worship as may hereafter justify it
self to free and believing minds. Its
committee is composed entirely of Ital-
ians. and its appeal is to men and wom-
en- of that race. Mr.. Conte serves with
cut a salary.
He aims to lay especial stress on So
cial work, and has engaged from the
first in a crusade against certain no.
torious evils, the vending of lottery tick
cts. the dishonesty of current trade
methods. the prevalence of begging. in
humanity toward animals. the vice of
intemperance, the want of personal
cleanliness and sanitation, the widespread
illiteracy, bad housing, and the debasing
consequences of giving tips. and the alb

Religious Forces in Navy.

Referring again to Rear Admiral
Stockton's recent article on THE Re-
ligious Forces in the Navy" reproduced
in The Washington Herald two weeks
ago, a New York layman has looked
the question up and offers this comment
in letter to The Churchman:
That there should have been no in
crease in the number of chaplains in
the service in sixty years was a fact
that struck me as amazing. 1 went at
once to look up figures and 1 am now
of the opinion that the author might
have made his case even more impress
sive- Not only is there but one chaplain
for $500 men. but there is only one chap
lain for about seventeen boats. There
are at present about 400 boats of one
kind or another in the United States
navy. Many of these of course are
smaller ships, submarines, and supply
boats. but even then their number
makes the distribution of twenty-four
chaplains among them and the marine
hospitals a very difficult feat Under
such conditions nothing in the way of
religious services can be done for the
seamen.~ There are four more first-class
battleships than there are chaplains, so
even some of these cannot have relig-
ious services. With Admiral Stockton
should not all churchmen ask, Is II
not time for Congress to act?'"
