To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We have just received at this office
the following telegram from our Wash
ington headquarters
Queen Elenora of Bulgaria cabled TO
the American Red Cross yesterday ask
ing for relief for thousands of refugees
left destitute by the Balkan war. The
Queens request, coupled with that or
many Americans there. says thousands
are homeless. shelterless, starving and
freezing in the unusually cold weather
that has swept Europe. Arrangements
have been made TO forward all contri-
buttons to Red Cross to Queen Elenora
for use under direction OF an American
and Bulgarian joint committee. Will you
please request your local papers 10 pub
lish this statement?
CHARLES l.. MAGEE,
Secretary American Red Cross"
We would much appreciate any pub
licity you mey give TO this statement. II
will be remembered that the American
Red Cross sent over donations during the
war last year. and it is because of the
devastation caused by the war and the
poverty among the refugees that further
funds are needed this year.
Contributions may be sent TO Jacob II.

A Common-Sense Feminist.

Miss Katharine Il. Davis is evidently not fem
mist Of the sexwarfare type. She has no notion of
mixing up suffrage with her work and is even
strangely unmoved by the thought of votes for
women" When asked about the plans for her work
she said
| am not going conduct this department as
woman's administration. It's going To he the same
kind of an administration a man would give
This is good talk and represents the real sense Of
the feminist movement. The only thing against
which wars is the notion that female Is SHY
and inferior animal, fit only for hresldeS. Its chief
tenet is that women are human beings, unalterably
unlike men yet aStonishngly competent TO work side
by side with them.
The new Commissioner of Correction is as dis
appointing to the wd-eyed feminists as she IS

Schools for Study or Recitation !?

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young's announced policy in the
Chicago schools Will be regarded by parents with
the proverbial mingled emotions. Some will be
glad to have their children freed from home study
because they want them to do other work out of
school hours or because they think they are over
tasked. Others will object to it, the ground that
the children will not he learning as much as they
should. or possibly that, with no studies to occupy
them. the children will get into mischief or be in the
way around the house
The chief issue involved is. however far more
general and more important than these. Ii is
whether schools chiefly To be used ms places OF
study and instruction places in which merely
TO recite the lessons which have been learned else
where The TO that is radical and affects
the entire scope and purpor of the teachers work.
IL recitation is the object. the teachers have little
TO do but To listen to and examine the work of the
children. But on the other hypothesis they must
actf~rly assist the children in their studies and i'm
part instruction TO them much more formidable
and exacting undertaking.
Educators will observe with much interest the
practical working out Of Mrs. Young's policy. with
cheerful confidence In her ability to make the
best that can he made of IT, They will note the

SUFFRAGE AND THE NATIVE VOTE
The Effect Would Be to Reduce the
Percentage of Foreign Born Voters.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring 10 the letter from Mr..
Holton in which the statistics given py
Mrs Brown were criticised, it would
seem immateria whether they were cor
rect or incorrect. since they have no
bearing on inc question originally
raised The question raised by Mr..
Wheeler was the composition of the
electorate of New York State If women
get the vote. while the figures given
by Mrs Brown referred to the whole
United States / have purposely de-
Iayed answering his letter until now
since il required good deal of study
to find out just what the electorate
would be.
Basing my figures on the census OF
1910. | obtained the male electorate OF
that year by adding together the native
born and the naturalized citizens and
the Colored of voting age, and deduct
ing the adult convicted felons, the IN
sane and the Mongolians. | obtained
the number of women that would nave
voted in 1910. if they mad had the right
by adding together the native born. the
foreign born women married TO Amerl-
can citizens and the colored. and then
deducting the convicted felons. the IN
sane. the Monaghan and also the prob
able percentage Chased on the Depart
ment of immigration statistics) or these
wives who have been in the country
less than five years. These would not
he allowed to vote. even though cltl-
zens owing to the clause in the New
York woman suffrage bill which reads
provided that a citizen by marriage
shall have been an inhabitant for five
years"
The unmarried foreign born women
are purposely omitted. as practically
none have taken out naturalization pa
pers. The only group among them VINO
could vote are those who came to
this country as minors and are the
daughters OF naturalized citizens. THIS
group in the male electorate is prob
ably largely included among the 1l2OOo
men who did not state whether they
were citizens or aliens AS these have
been omitted from the table I'm the case
Of the male electorate. the correspond
ing group will be omitted in the case OF
the female electorate.
The approximate nature Of the analy-
sis is caused by the indifference of the
United states census authorities when IL
comes 10 the citizenship OF women.
Even in the suffrage states the census
carefully tabulates the citizenship OF its
men and omits the same information in
regard 10 the women, so that it is i'm
possible to gain any accurate informa-
ton about the celebrates in these
states
The following table. therefore, gives
the approximate analysis of the male
electorate i'm 1910. the female electorate
assuming that women had been allowed
to vote I'm that year, and the combined
electorate:
