An investigation OF all phases OF the

and wealthy women under the auspices OF
the Womcn's Welfare Department OF inc
National Civic Federation. The committee
is headed by Mrs. Francis HisGhsoh
Cabot and Mrs. Frances Mcneil Bacon

mittec OF the women's department.
The campaign TO raise special fund 10

terday with benefit performance Of Miss
Rachel Crothers's play. ourselves d'
the Lyric Theatre. The theatre was
crowded with representative women from
philanthropic and social organizations.
Miss Katherine Bement Davis. head or
the State Reformatory for Women, At
Bedford, made an address between the
acts, and so did the Rev j. Howard Mel
lish. Both agreed that the faults in mod
ern society lay deeper than in economic or
industrial causes.
"This play is the truth" said Miss
Davis. but il is a truth that society VIII

suits. All through the centuries we have
kept this subject hidden. There is great
cause for rejoicing that we have no"

FOUR TALKED FOR TWO
Helen Keller and Signora Mon
tessori Needed Help.

II required four persons to carry on a
conversation between Signora Montessori
and Helen Keller yesterday afternoon.
The Italian educator speaks no English,
and Miss Keller, of course, is absolutely
dependent upon the ears OF Mrs. John
Macy, her teacher.
The process of conversation was as fol-
lows: Nine. Montessori spoke in Italian.
Miss Annie T.. George interpreted her
words into English for Mrs. Macy, who
i'm her turn. passed them on TO Miss
Keller by means of the sign language.
The meeting took place at the Hotel
Holland. Signora Montessori took the
blind girl in her arms and gave her a
motherly hug. Then she took her by the
hand and led her to a seat in the parlor'
where she sat by her side for an hour.
Miss Keller" she said, through Miss
George and Mrs. Macy, Il regard you
and your advancement as living symbol
of the fact that the soul OF man. il set
free, can reach unbelievable heights.
Taken with Mrs. Macy. you embody the
most perfect example Of what such
methods as those by which you were
taught may accomplish
The blind girl replied that she knew a
great deal of DR.. Montessoris method
and said that she herself was on the
revolutionary side in the field Of educa-
ton. that the spontaneity Of the child and
the giving of liberty to the child in the
formative years of its schooling must be-
come fundamental principles Of educa-
ton. Miss Keller said she realized that
she herself was taught by methods sim
liar to those which DR.. Montessori APP

DRAMA LEAGUE REPLIES
One of Playgoing Committee
Answers Comment on It's Work.

The comments on the work Of the Play
going Committee OF the local branch Of
the Drama League, published i'm last Sat
urday's Tribune, have drawn forth the
following reply:
TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS a member of the PIaygoing
Committee of the New York Centre OF
the Drama League / was naturally very
much interested in an article In your
issue OF December entitled What Is
the Drama League Driving ATT" and
signed a. r. / am not authorized by
the committee TO reply on its behalf but
/ feel sure that I voice its spirit In
thanking A. r. for his sincere and inter-
csted criticism. | wish. however, to cor
rect several misapprehensions to which
the article might give rise, for it seems
TO me there IS much less divergence OF
opinion between \. r. and the committee
than would at first sight appear
To begin with General John Regain
Whether or not the rule that farce is
form of entertainment that does not need
the support of the league and that has
not therefore been handled by the New
York committee be, as \. r. asserts
DELIGHTFULLY."- irrational" II has, ipso facto,
been tho rule of the committee so far
Nevertheless General John Regain
seemed to the committee so exceptionally
delightful that, without waiting for any
''shrieks Of protest" 1t at once decided to
append a note on it to the next bulletin
issued. that being its custom in regard to
plays that do not seem important enough
TO warrant a special bulletin.
Certainly the committee would unani-
mously and enthusiastically agree with
A. r. that between Shaw's Caesar and
Cleopatra" and Mr.. Carpenter Tongues
Of Men" no intelligent playgoer could
hesitate. But no such alternative was
presented to the committee, which deals
only with new plays. Not only is Cesar
and Cleopatra" not new. but Forbes-Rob-
ertson has not presented any new play
during his current engagement in New
York, so that the Drama League COM
mite could not do more than call atten-
ton to the fact that Forbes Robertson
was playing here i'm repertory, which II
did at the beginning of the season ana
has continued to do I'm successive bull
letins.
AS 10 Grumpy" a. r. admits that 1t is
we'll worth seeing and that Cyril Maude
IS a delightful comedian, so he apparently
does not object to the committee
recommendation OF this play
The actual issue then is reduced TO Miss
Crothers's ourselves" Here 4. RS
Wanted "diffdence' deserts him, for he
will admit OF no question as TO the
merit OF the play. The Drama League
committee, however. did not see ii with
\. RS eyes-and after all A. II. has
presumably but the customary two eyes,
two cars and one mind that are al
lotted even to the most competent and
sincere OF professional critics, while the
committee commands, all told, some forty
ewes and ears and twenty minds. with
differing convictions and prejudices, and
ideals. and points OF view, and while
