KEATS NECESSARY
IN THE KITCHEN
Lawrence Abbott Tells College
Women Poetry Is as Neces-
sary as Cooking.

The question of vocational training
versus purely cultural education was
authoritatively discussed by Lawrence
Abbott. editor of the Outlook, before
the Southern Association of College
Women at the session in the Y. NJ. c..
y. building yesterday morning. Mr..
Abbott called his address Keats in
the Kitchen" and as suggested by tho
title. emphasized the part which cul
ture plays in the affairs OF every day
life.
Mr.. Abbott read his address, fire.
quently pausing to explain his own
meaning or to interjcct mild acade-
mical Joke, to the great delight of his
large feminine audience.
Imagination, he asserted. is absolute
ly essential TO success in any occupa-
ton, and this valuable quality can only
be developed and stimulated by n study
of the fine arts, which are thus just as
essential TO a real education as is prac-
tical training He said that the cul-
tural, or humanitarian studies. should
bear somewhat the same relation TO
vocational teaching, as the plowing
and seeding OF field does to the reap
ing of the crop.
Mr.. Abbott stated that he is n strong
advocate OF vocational training; but
that he should regret to sec an ideal
of education obtain, so narrow as to
exclude the cultural side altogether. He
said that education required broad
definition, and accordingly defined 1t
as the requirement of such knowledge
and experience as will enable men and
women to live In right relations to
one another"
The success OF cultural education
has been prevented. he said, by the
ethods employed by teachers. Instead
of teaching poetry and the fine arts
with view to bringing out the imagi-
native value OF them, they are studied
from a technical and formal point Of
view. He said that the pupil is too
often taught Horace in order that
he may learn Latin grammar, rather
than Latin grammar in order that he
may learn Horace.
Mr.. Abbott then proceeded to read
sonnet from Shakespeare in very
feeling manner, bringing out the
followed this with an extract from
a technical criticism OF sonnet, show
ing how little of human interest the
latter had.
Reverting to his original subject OF
Keats. he read that poets ode to IL
Grecian Urn" and deduced therefrom
a moral on tho poetry of simple and
everyday things.
The remainder OF the session was
occupied by the presentation Of a re
port on The Standards of High
schools" by Miss Carrie Mae Probst,
OF Goucher College, and one on The
Improvement OF Standards in Southern
Colleges Since 1900" by Miss Eliza
beth Avery Cotton.

Queer Judicial Reasoning

The Supreme Court Of New Jersey
has invalidated as unconstitutionaI
the New Jersey statute authorizing
the sterilization of feeble-minded cpl.
lepics. certain types of criminals, and
other detectives. The act is held to
be contrary to the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution of the Unit
ed States, which guarantees equal
protection of laws. The court argues
that if legislature may authorize
the performance of a surgical opera
ton on the feeble-minded to prevent
the birth of new broods of the feeble.
minded, legislature may by a major
ity vote mark other classes or types
as undesirable and take measures
against their propagation. In few

In the textile world the tariff

ious sessions of Congress. In
deed "The American Wool and

for woolens are coming forward
so freely that mills will be unable

Not Socialism But Social Reform Is
Society's Need

Socialist criticism of present-day
society exaggerates its evils and de
fects. The socialist lacks historical
perspective and scientific grasp of the
nature of man. He considers the So
cial ailments without reference to the
origins of society and the possibilities
of social evolution. To the forces
and the processes of society he as
cribes simplicity that does not ex-
ist. He attributes a capacity to hui
man nature for the attainment of per.
lection that men do not possess. He
is sciolist instead of a scientist and
philosopoh instead of philosopher
and psychologist.
1t is a figure of speech to assert
that this nation is helpless before
the trusts, for the people have only
recently begun to measure their pow
er against that of monopoly, and the
enforcement of the antitrust laws
has by no means exhausted the re-
sources of government and the state.
1t is a metaphor to allege that la
Dor receives but little more. than is
needed to maintain it and to enable
it to have families. The term labor
is so largely and loosely employed
by socialists as to require restric.
ton and definition. Passing over this
socialist question-begging, records
and observation prove that the vast
majority of wage.earners marry and
have homes and children. Practically
all skilled workers and not few un
skilled laborers receive wages that
provide for some leisure and recrea.
ton, some reading or education, some
social benefits, some religious advan-
tages.
The wastes and Embellishments in
the existing economic world, under
the sway of competition and capital
ism, do not prove this system a fail
ure. They only demonstrate it's i'm
projections and the advisability of So
cial reform and industrial betterment.
The economic condition of the mass
es is less uncomfortable today than
ever before. With the possible ex.
ception of Submerged tenth" labor
is better clothed, fed, housed and
provided for than in any era before
last century and this. The gains
achieved in material well-being by la
Dor these 125 years since capitalism
arose are commonplace of econo-
mics. To the masses of men earthly
existence is more favorable now than
in any past.
Until present evils are proved
| worse than previous ones and our
economic order shown to be incapable
of improvement, the SYSTEM of CAPT
talism can not be considered a bank
rupt.-Spokane Spokesman-Review

lenses or that the legislature might
enact a law providing for hanging
men who wear whiskers. Yet there
is the same logical basis for an eX-
IRENE supposition with respect to the
abuse of the power of punishment
for minor offenses as there is in the
Jersey court'e fear of abuse of the
power to prevent the reproduction of
life. If society has the right to re-
move criminal from the world, it
has the right to take steps to pro.
tect itself from the multiplication of
criminals.
The trouble appears to be that the
New Jersey court is following too
common example of trying to make
laws instead of attending to it's duty
of interpreting laws.-Tacoma Trib-
