An Open Letter to Parents:
 SIapping. spanking, and whipping children are very common In more barbarous times, these. practices were universal In our day, inquiry proves that most parents believe they have a right to strike children. especially small children When punishments are known to be extremely severe, neighbors and of1cers sometimes in terfere in behalf Of the victims For one such case which becomes public, there are hundreds where the parent is sole judge and witness. and there is no court of appeal
 There is a story and text in the paragraph which has been printed as d newspaper joke. It is not a joke. It is as follows:
 The parent was sure he had inflicted the right punishment upon the child. TO make the lesson completes he ask ed. fsDo you know why whipped you ?ss ssYes,s' answered the child, because you are bigger than am z
 Consider this difference in size be- tween a parent and a young child. If over man or woman and dealt out blows for miraculous of gdant- made rules, the parent might realize what he now does to children. He prob ably does not know either the pain, the physical injury the nervous shock. the n1SnES1I S11oCIS, 1OI L11e S44SClSE A&3- on the other children in the family. The effect upon the mother or father Is another subject.
 The pain is greater than a grown person realizes. The injury to the heart is sometimes permanent. Spank ing and whipping stimulate the or gans of sex The nervous effects are such that the same child frequently of lends again within an hoHr.- Feelings of bdtterh ess. hatred, and even revenge rank1e in the heart of the child The fear engendered in the mind of the vfctirn and of the other children is wholly bad. Parental control that is wise and good cs1ltfvates child's self respect, as well as respect of parents whipping is destructive of self-re- spect. In some ways, this is its worst result
 Children who have been asked how they felt after being spanked or whip ped. have said that it made them want to hit somebody, anybody. Since they didn't dare hit their fathers or mothers. they had a strong impulse to hit other children, or to kick the dog or the cat. One boy said cit made him feel ugly all day.

STOP WHIPPING CHILDREN

Grown persons would Justly resent corporal punishment visited upon them for ignorance, accident or an unknown point of view. Children try harder to fit themselves into a grown peoples world than parents try to make a world for children.
 How can any parent have the opin- ion that children may be taught not to hit or strike the others by being themselves hit How can any parent whip child for a fault which is plainly one Of inheritance How can parent or teacher who resorts to pI1y- sical yioIences hold up the common rule of our so-calIed civilized society. Never hit anybody smaller or weak CT than you are. nor any one who is defenseless.
 Spanking and whipping children diHfnishes at just the age when cl1il- dren are big enough to hit back. and end wlasn they can really defend themselves. Their later offenses are frequently more disobedient, more de- lfberate; more serious, and more az gravating, and large children are more responsible as individuals, but the pa- rents control themselves.
 Reasonable d0prfvations or punish ments take time and brains and self control They imply an Interruption in adult occupations and interests. and temporary devotion to the education of the child The parent who is pre- occupied or Ignorant. or selfish, or tired is not in a condition to be 8 judge over dependent, and therefore in no condition to inflict any punish ment whatever.
 To save time, or to sake thinking, or to cut the Interruption to the few est possible minutes. coward1y blows are struck
 Skipping spanking or whipping chil- dren cannot be defended They have been universal They are now com mon. They are seldom discussed. Possibly shame prevents parents from talking about this important subject. It is time the practice was discussed openly.
 Children cannot defend themselves. Teachers and parents who have a high standard of conduct, should speak and write in strong terms conforming the corporal punishment of children
 Parents and teachers who approve or condone the whipping of children. should study both physiology and psy- chology.

WILLING A RAILRoAp.
IE-eresting Facts Relating to the Pro-
 cess.

According to the report of W. J. Wilgus, consulting engineer, who re- gently appraised the Lehigh Valley railroad, the property is worth $S24s- 00O,O00, and of this amount only $241, 900, 900, or 75 per cent is made up of measurable items" which in the opinion of many who haves not studied the matter constituteS the whole value. The value of the main line per mile, exclusive of equipment, is shown to be SAYS, ,S96. This figure will arouse the ire of those who think all capitalization above $30,000 per mile is pure water; it is less, however, than the New York public service commission figured that the Buffalo, Rochester & Eastern. to which it some years ago denied a certificate of nec- essity, would cost. In other words, a governmental regulatory dbody-dis- interested beyond question=has made an estimate, for a proposed railroad of the same class, in similar terri tory, in excess of the unit cost MT. Wi1gus has found
 One of the most valuable parts of the report from the broad viewpoint, is the analysis of interest during the con struction period. It has been custo- mary to take the estimated cost at the adopted rate of interest, for one-half the assumed period of construction.
 This method applied separately to mainline construction, principal ter mina1s, equipment, etc, each group having an assumed minimum period of construction. yields in the aggregate result very much lower than would actually occur in reproduction of the system, for the reasons that CD the expenditures would not increase in constant ratio; (2) securing of cap ita1 on basis that will assure it's delivery exactly as needed for dis bursement during the progress of the work is not practicable, and 13) in- terest charges must be paid from the

Althonra Mir Duryea cannot be called a E.oston- ian. in the sense Of beinr a nsf-re or a permanent resident here. his ear- Her associations were BostonIan for e. time and his Boston wife broueht him an ample fortune
 One of his close friends here re calls the fact that when Hrr. Duryea first took to horse-raclne he l7~ad tr say JokingIy that his ambition in thia sphere of his activities would be sat- isfied when he had won the Blue Ftb- bon of the English turf And now his wild dream is fully realized. good fortune is not wholly unlike that of Lord Rosebery, though the latter ambition scared to more eomprehen- sive heights.
 As the familiar story goes. when Rosebery started out on his remark able career he named three hish achievements as the goals of his vault ing arnbition-one was to marry en hefress. the second was to win the Derby, and the third was to become premier of the British realm. l accomplished all three in his early manhood, marrying a RothachiId aui after having achieved the other two he retired from all strenuous actlviiee Co devote himseIf to the oecupations of scholar and a philosopher

The announcement that the univer- sity of PennsyIvania medical depart rnent will admit women. next autumn on an equality with the men, is an important concession. It means no table change in the spirit of this school, one of the foremost of it's kind for nearly a century and half.
 The move is commendabIe. Woman kind have come to be recognized as eminently fitted for many branches of medical work.

To debar them permanently from the opportunities of Knowledge to be had in center like the university, with it's splendid equipment and en- Iarged field for research and linvestf- gation. would scarcely be in accord with the usually broad spirit in which that institution has been governed.

A CHAUFF7EUR's DEFENSE.

It is a remarkable defense which is put forward in behalf of chauffeur who ran down and killed a. woman last Sunday. His employers say that they have noticed for some time that his sight and hearing were failing" !" Yet he was permitted to take the car into the streets of Manhattan and trust to luck.
 The case calls attention to the fact that there is no provision in the mo- tor vehicle law which prevents 9. deaf or half-bnnd driver from getting a license, although good eyes and ears are as important in a. chauffeur as they are in a locomotive engineer.
 The defect in the law probably will be remedied, but 1t has cost at least one life to have it discovered.-New York Press.
