which they had gathered to offer human

Dark Wallpaper
Wastes Much Light

"A great amount OF light Is wasted by
dark wall papers" said Professor Sill
vanus Thompson, principal of London
technical school. lie objected particular
" to the rich dark tones, the deep Grim
son. used so often for the dining room. on
the impression that 1t gives warmth"
and the various shades Of brown found
in dens and elsewhere.
'"rhe good lighting of a room depends
not only on the disposition of the lights
so as to produce an adequate illumina-
ton and on the proper shielding OF the
lamps so as to avoid needless glare, but
ON the nature OF the wall surface on
which the light falls" said Professor
Thompson. Even when the illumination
that is received by the walls is ample,
the room may be badly lit. II the walls
absorb too much OF that illumination In
stead OF giving It back by diffuse refiec-
ton. Few persons are aware how much
light is thus wasted and thrown away.
"The deep scarlet and crimson WALL
uapers now fashionable for dining rooms
waste from 20 to 20 per cent; brown paper
wastes about 81 TO IS per cent; even an
ordinary yellow or bun wall paper wastes
so to 80 per cent. On the other hand'
white cartridge paper absorbs and wastes
only about 20 per cent Of the light, while
a whitewashed wall absorbs from 80 TO
40 per cent"
He said ceilings should invariably be
white and the walls. II not white. should
at least be of the very palest colors.

MARRIAGE AND THE SEN fhob,,
Lecturer I'm Ethics and Psychology at
the University of Zurich. Translated
bv NeyTich Booth. Il. Sc, Phi. ID. PIP.
22J. The Frederick A. Stokes Company,
New York.
Writing from the standpoint OF the
psychologist and educator. the author
comes TO the conclusion that the Chris
tan marriage ideal best answers the
physical ethical and spiritual needs OF
humanity There is a section dealing
with the education OF boys and girls, and
some OF his views on this subject he sums
up concisely in the authors preface 10
the English Edition. from which we quote
as follows:
II. The foundation OF all sound educa-
ton in sex must consist in distracting
the mind from sexual matters, not In
directing It toward them.
"2 The problem OF moral preservation
I'm this sphere is a question OF power
far more than OF knowledge. Now, 1t is
upon these two fundamental facts that
the sexual education OF the traditional
Christian type has been built up And
again:
Education in sexual matters means
the education of nature by the spirit
and this is not possible without clear
and definite ethc OF sex, an ethic which
Is able, on behalf Of the spirit and It's
claims, 10 offer a perfectly firm front TO
the untutored natural impulses. No such
ethlc is possible upon the basis OF modern
materiaism or naturalism IL can come
from religion alone. The more deeply
the educator comprehnds his problem the
more rapidly lie will be led back TO re-
lIgious education; and, similarly, the more
realistically the ethicist grasps human
nature I'm his study OF the problem OF
sex. and the more thoroughly he consid-
ers the conditions under which the sex
nal impulses can be effectively disciplined
and socialized. the more he VIII be con-
strained 10 abandon the materialistic
standpoInt and to recognize the indispen-
eabIlity of the Christian ethic.'
In Chapter VII OF Part the author
Indicates how important he considers the
education OF the imagination. We quote
as follows:

WOMAN'S PLACE.

WOMAN, MARRIAGE AND MOTHER
HOOD BY Elizabeth Sloan Chesser,
b Pr 2S7, l2mo. The Funk & Wag-
nails Company. New York.
Or. Chesser was student OF Queen Mar
garet College, Glasgow. and was gradu-
ated in 1901. She was medallist in
gynecology and in medical Jurisprudence.
Among her opinions we quote the follow
ing from Chapter ". THE Legal Post
ton OF Wife and Mother:
The exclusion OF women from the ad-
mlnistration OF the law IS loss to the
community as well as an injustice TO
women. From policeman to judge, every
position in an English court OF law is
filed by "a man. There are many cases,
such as offences against morals or GRIM
inal assault. in which II is an outrage on
womanhood that the cross-eXaminaton
and the medical Investigations alike
should be conducted by men"
Again, she says in connection with
Parental Instinct:
Parental instinct an insufficient guide.
The number Of child deaths for which
the lack OF mother education Is RESPONSE
bic can never even pc approximately Co
tImated. The old idea that maternal in
stinct would teach the mother, like the
cat. to care for her young is difficult to
eradicate. II an unmarried woman

vantages the Stun mother Immediately
