Foreign Impression Of American Hospital
Social Service

realize what manifold factors hamper
the progress of returning health. The
social service worker Investigates the
conditions of living and employment,
the family relationships and responsi-
bilities of those who have succumbed
to severe illness. and by assuring
suitable care and protection to the
family, unirreerrupted maintenance for
a threatened home, or the continuance
of a wage-paying employment brings
comfort to the helpless. Patients
need to be entertained and encour-
aged, and to have occupation for the
long hours of convalescence. They
need, not infrequently, to be prepared
for new occupations sometimes made
necessary by injury or the ravages OF
disease. Their life after release from
the hospital must often be com
pletely altered to meet new condi-
tons. a
Mrs. Strauss points out that the
universal workingman's insurance
and compensation acts introduced by
the German government have rem
dered certain features of the hospital
social service of less immediate neces-
sity in Germany This entire field of
social and humanitarian endeavor
has only begun to be cultivated.
America has taken a leading part In
the beneficent work. Successful
methods have yet to be developed
tested, simplified to meet constantly
changing economic conditions and by
gienic innovations. The day must
come when every American hospital
will possess its social service depart
ment.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Mrs. Bridget Peixotto. whom Justice
Seabury ordered the Board of Edu-
cation to reinstate after she had been
dismissed by the board for being alb
sent without leave, suffered a reversal
recently by the Appellate Division.
This court holds that Mrs Peixotto
should have appealed to the State
commissioner of education instead of
to the courts. The question whether
the Board of Education had sufficient
cause to remove the teacher was not
touched upon by the Appellate Divis-
ion; on this point the court said
I'VE are of the opinion that the
question with respect to the right of
the board to remove a teacher for
necessary absence owing to such ILL
ness is not presented for decision and
1t would not be proper to express an
opinion on that question at this
time"
Commenting on the fact that when
Mrs. Peixotto reported her absence to
the board she said 1t was because she
had trouble with her ears and nose,
presenting a PHYSICIANS certificate to
that effect. although she afterward
declared that she had been dismissed
because she had become mother, the
court remarked:
1.-The fallacy of this argument lies
in the fact that even though she could
not be removed for giving birth to a
child it is possible that the length of
her absence for that purpose might
be such as to authorize her removal
for neglect of duty, notwithstanding
the fact that such neglect could not
be predicated merely upon the birth
of the child"
1t is said that Mrs. Peixotto is not
disposed to follow the suggestion of
the Appellate Division and appeal to
the State Commissioner of Education,
but rather will take her case to the
Court of Appeals. 1t is, of course,
desirable for the whole public that the
case should be decided as soon as
possible. If Mrs. PeiXotto disregards
the way to that end so plainly in
Dictated by the Appellate Division it
would seem that she is not doing all
she can TO expedite that final deeis
ion.

The late Judge Noah Davis, who
presided at the trial of William M.
Tweed and who after the latter's con-
viction sentenced him to imprison-
ment, told me a story which came to
him, he said, shortly after the trial
from one of Tweeds friends. 1t re-
lated to the manner in which Tweed
was finally captured after he escaped
by the commandant at the port of
Vigo, Spain.
There were many very dramatic
episodes associated with Tweed's ca
reer," said Judge Davis, but ] think
the story as it was told me and which
I am now going to tell you was the
strangest of all. You know, of course,
that Tweed escaped in a sailing ves-
sci and afterward. landing at Flor
ida was taken on board another yes
sci and landed somewhere on the
northern coast of Cuba. AS soon as
possible after he landed he engaged
passage from a vessel which was to
go to Spain, stopping first of all at
the Port of Vigo.
Tweed did not know that the sec
rotary of State at Washington had
been informed by the New York au-
thorities that a Spanish vessel had
taken him on board at a Cuban port.
Probably If Tweed had learned that
the secretary of state knew where he
was and intended to ask Spain to de-
liver him over to the United States
authorities, he would have attempted
to enter some one of the Central
American or South American coun-
tries, where he would have been able
to bride the officials to protect him.
HE chose Spain, however, because
he knew there was no extradition
treaty between the United States and
Spain.
".Tweed's friends told me that he
was lucky to have escaped with his
life when the vessel arrived at the
port of Vigo, for the people of that
town We're very much incensed on ac-
count of the crime of which the fugi-
tive had been guilty in the United
States.
Secretary Fish received word from
Spain by cable that the commandant
at Vigo would be instructed to arrest

ANY woman who halls from Tisho-
mingo, Okla, ought to be an Indian
princess, if she isn't. She ought to
have hair black as a ravens wing
and the swarthy complexion of her
race. She should be naughty, tacti-
turn and stoical by turns. And as

wear ropes of them. That is, IL

1t has become the habit of many
folks to speak contemptuously or
bitterly of the church-not of any
particular church or denomination or
doctrine, but of the church as 60
ing concern. Some say 1t has out
lived it's usefulness; that the spirit
of religion, once at home in 1t, has
found habitation elsewhere, in places
where it Is freer to act.
Is this true?
1t contains grains of truth, but we
do not think that it is wholly true:
on the contrary, isn't it a part truth
which is more untrue than q total
falsehood, because more misleading?
What are the grains of truth in it?
Well, in the first place, religion has
always been and must always be big
ger and broader than any church.
The best church can be only power
plant for the generation of religion
That which it generates may work in
many ways outside the church per-
haps to better advantage than if 1t
bore a church tag.
For example. the labor union is a.
religious institution and men in it
are religious, deeply and practically
religious, often without knowing it,

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Tweed's Hostile Reception in Spanish Port

and imprison Tweed until an Ameri-
can vessel arrived there to take him
back to the United States.
THE Spanish commandant at Vigo,
however, was very much disturbed by
his orders. He did not know how he
was going to recognize Tweed pro-
vided the latter was in disguise He
was told that if he sent to London he
could get picture of Tweed which
had been printed in an illustrated
periodical. He did send to London
and got the picture by return mail.
What do you suppose that picture
was? 1t was Nast's cartoon of
Tweed, which represented him as
Furnishing child, the child being
symbolic of American justice.
THE picture was shown to the
people of Vigo and they were told
that the commandant was to arrest a
man who would arrive on a vessel
because he had kidnapped an Ameri-
can child.
This report infiamed the population
and they made up their minds to deal
summary vengeance upon this kid
naper. 1t was an angry mob that
awaited the arrival Of the vessel at
Vigo. The commandant was COM
PEELED to plan some strategy by which

nized Tweed, although Tweed was
disguised as a sailor and was actually
engaged at some mental duty as a
sailor when the commandant went
aboard. That was fortunate for
Tweed The mob expected to see a
man in the garb of a gentleman
marching with the commandant.
Tweed was told that his only safety
was in preserving his disguise, so he
sauntered ashore as any sailor would
do and passed safely through the mob
until he was beyond its reach, when
he was locked up in prison.
when Tweed knew what the tenn

only too glad to go from the prison

a guard which protected him"

An English View of Ford.

An English View of Ford.
From the London Spectator.
1t remains to be seen whether under
the banner of the great American re-
public people will acquiesce in this
inqulsltion into their private lives
for the sake of so per cent. increase
in their salaries. For the credit of
England we hope that very few
would be found here, and that on this
ground alone the Ford Company will
not trouble to extend their scheme
to their employees in this country.
1t may be perhaps objected that the
sociological department is not
necessary feature of Mr.. Ford's
scheme. One answer is that, from
Mr.. Fords point of view, the two evil
IDENTIFY hang together. His wish is to
reform the world, and he sees quite
clearly that mere distribution of
profits among a particular group of
employees would do little to reform
the world unless their private charae-'
ters were simultaneously reformed.
Our criticism, however, goes deeper
than this. In effect, Mr.. Ford is Gre
ating a privileged body of employees,
and since the world began privilege
has had to be paid for in one way or
another, and will have to be as long
as the world lasts. If the employees
of this company accept a gratuitous
favor as a gift from their employer,
he obtains a power of control over
them which he did not possess be-
fore. The particular way in which
that control is exercised is, of course,
important, but in some way or an
other it will be exercised, for other
wise it. would be impossible for him
to preserve for his employees the
privilege which he now gives them.
