DR.. ELIOT FOR SEX TRUTH
Praises the Work of Dr.. Prince
A. Morrow at Meeting.
BELIEVES IN FRANKNESS
Medical Secret" Too Long
Observed by Parents and Ply
sicians, He Tells Hearers.

DR.. Charles w Eliot. president emeritus
Of Harvard University, said in an address
last night before a memorial meeting OF
the Society OF Sanitary and Moral Pro-
phylaxsis at the Academy Of Medicine
No. II West 43d street. to commemorate
the work Of the late Dr. Prince A. Nor
row, that DR.. Morrow was far ahead OF
the average sentiment OF the medical and
legal professions. as we'll as legislators.
I'm the remedies he advocated TO uplift
the social relations OF men and women
The ideals OF Or. Morrow. said Dr.
Eliot could be attained only after the
race had been educated through genera
tions Of experience In frankly and in
diligently treating the sex problem.
DR.. Eliot who is president emeritus OF
the American Federation for Sex Hy-
giene, of which DR.. Morrow was presi-
dent. spoke of the pioneer qualities OF
DIR. Morrow as social reformer. He
said that DR.. Morrow touched the ethics
of his profession in tender spot by OBJ
posing the universal observance Of the
medical secret" and also some Of the
religious sentiments usually taught
DR.. Morrow. said the speaker, believed
that the prolongation of human life on
earth to be a thing noble. sacred and
pure and that all its mysteries and pro-
cesses should be considered in similar
light. He attacked the custom OF par
ents' answering the natural questions Of
children falsely or absurdly. and said.
break the silence
Dr. Eliot argued that although the only
ultimate way to make society pure was 10
establish the same moral standards for
men as for women. yet the law could con-
tribute to the betterment of conditions He
said that some day society would demand
such q standard, and that II would do so
largely because DR.. Morrow attacked the
old standard and began a movement OF
sex Education and reform that has now
become popular and will become stronger
and stronger as the years advance.
Society is now taking off It's smoked
glasses" said DR.. T.. l.. Reyes in his ad-
dress on OR Morrow, the Educator.
He told how the membership OF the so
ciety of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis'
which in 1895 was founded by Dr. Morrow
with a membership Of only twenty-five
now had almost 1900 members, and that
the great movement which he started had
been famed by public approval until now
1t embraced ali parts of the civilized
world.

The New York Medical College anu
Hospital for Women, at No. 10 West
1Olst street. is more broad-minded and
tolerant than mems medical colleges are.
To be of the opposite sex is no barrier
there. Any male physician who proves
himself worthy has a chance to SHINE az
member OF the faculty OF this woman
institution.
And do YOU think" says DR.. Eliza
beth Jarrett, who was in charge or the
arrangements for the commencement eX-
ercises the college held at the Waldorf
Astoria last evening. do you think the
mems medical college, down below here
would allow any women professors on
the faculty? Not IL it knows itself.
The institution on 10lst street isn't
forced to resort to men through any lack
of good feminine timber. They have FIVE
women professors, and there are plenty
more they could have. But they be-
lieve, DR.. Jarrett says. in giving the
men a show.
Nine graduates they had last night
in the class Of 'l3-nine young women
all ready to practise And II they hold
10 their oath they will practise well and
faithfully. For every one of them last
night took the Hippocratic oath-to keep
to the traditions OF the profession. never
to give poisonous medicines. etc, etc. 1t
was a very effective oath 10 listen to. as
they took it all together.

John a Kngsbury. OF the Association for
Improving the Condition Of the Poor. and

ter of Mrs. Mary WoodAllen.
Colonel Roosevelt was unable 70 be pres

CRITICISM FOR BARNES
Republicans to Discuss Party
Affairs at To-night's Feast.

Between seventy and eighty accept
ances have been received for the Repub-
lican get-together dinner and conference
that is to be held at the Republican Club
tonight Some OF those who are to at
tend the conference arrived In the city
last night The general feeling seems TO
be that the "standpat' attitude OF Will
lam Barnes, jr.. the chairman OF the
state committee, has weakened the hold
Of the Republican organization upon the
people OF the state and that he ought TO
retire. II is an open question yet as TO
whether a fight should be started to force
Mr. Barnes out OF the craftsmanship.
That and other questions willsreceve
serious consideration tonight. The plan
is TO have the freest discussion on all
topics OF interest to the Republican party.
Among the matters considered will be
the movement for the holding OF an ex-
traordinary national convention this year
TO change the basis OF representation in
national conventions.
When the last campaign ended the
state committee was in debt to Chairman
Barnes for money advanced to the extent
OF about $4,000 Some OF this has been
paid back since and an effort is being
made TO raise the remainder. So long.
however. as the committee liz the debtor
OF Mr.. Barnes many members who sin
cerely believe that his leadership Is hurt
ing the organization would not join in
any movement to force him out.

LIFE TABLES SHOW
WE LIVE TOO FAST
Children's Expectancy In
creased in Last 80 Years, but
Old Folks Lives Shortened.

A table showing the mortality rate in
the city during the three years. 1909 to
1911. has been prepared by the Depart
ment of Health. The table shows the ex-
pectancy by individual years for males
and females In 1852 a similar life table
was prepared under the direction of the
late DR.. John S. Billings for the years
1879 TO 1881.
Thirty years ago the old table showed
a child under FIVE years old could ex-
pect to live forty-one years. while
child Of that age to-day, according to
the new table. may look forward to fifty
two years The life OF a child between
FIVE and ten years has been prolonged
from forty-six TO fifty-one years; per-
son of twenty-five TO thirty years had an
expectancy of life thirty years ago of
almost thirty-two and six-tenths years
at the present day the expectancy is
thirty-four and. three-tenths years.
The lives Of persons between forty and
forty-one years. on the other hand, has
shortened from twenty-three and nine
tenths years TO twenty-three and four
tenths years At all ages above forty
there is a constantly increasing diminu-
ton OF the expectancy of life. varying
from six months at forty years Of age 10
three years and three months at eighty
five years of age.
The expectancy of life to-day is greater
among females than males up 10 forty
years: above forty the reverse is true.
In view Of the diminished duration OF
life over forty years Of age. the question
naturally arises as to whether It is due
to a prolongation OF the lives OF persons
who might be termed weddings, and who
I'm consequence were unable TO withstand
the inroads OF organic diseases which be-
gin TO make their appearance at this age.
Too much drink and meat and the
strenuous life are also factors in this in
crease Of the death rate.
THE lesson TO he drawn from this
array OF figures is that the adult of the
present generation is travelling pace too
fast for his health; rapidity Of living cam
not but end in premature decay. Never
was there greater need from health
standpoint for the practice OF moderation
in all things by the inhabitants Of our
CITY,"
