TROPICS FOR WHITE MEN,

Col. William C. Gorgas, having
first proved it, will find ready ac-
ceptance of his announcement that
white men, women, and children can
live in the tropics and enjoy health
and comfort just as well as in the
temperate zone. He observes that
people of the Canal Zone, once the
most unhealthy place in the world,
live in greater comfort and better
health now than those of like station
in other parts of the world.
Therefore, the great sanitary ex-
pert declares, the tropics will be set
tied by Anglo-Saxons, and their tre-
mendous productive capacity at last
organized to work for the world.
There, returns on a given expendi-
ture Of effort are vastly greater than
anywhere else. To annex. them to
civilizations territory available for
expansion of population and produc-
ton of necessaries means to solve
for generations yet uncounted the
problems of feeding and maintaining
the worlds population. Moreover,
il means added comforts and luxuries
for the people of the temperate ard
extreme zones, because of the huge
commerce that will develop, with
interchange of the products of diff
ferent latitudes.

END THE STRIKE WAR!

The dispatch Of Federal troops
into Colorado, invited by all the ele-
ments that now wage civil war in
that State, should not be delayed.
Governor Ammons, in his appeal to
the President, has confessed Colo
RADIOS impotence to deal with the
situation its policy has brought
about-an impotence, re it said. that
has been obvious for weeks to the
rest of the country.
Between the mine operators and
the strikers there is an impasse, not
to be bridged, it appears, by any
mediatory or cpnciliatory means.
The Rockefellers, principal owners
of the mines, have declared a fixed
determination neither to arbitrate
nor to ,etreat. The strikers are
equally determined.
1t is disgraccful to the whole coun-
try that Colorado should have per-
mitted matters tc reach this stage.
The State troops sent to the scene
of trouble have not been used to en-
force order, in any proper sense, but
have formed an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with the mine
guards. The perfectly logical result
has been. war and the destruction of
property and lives.

ing any of it; Mr.. Goddard insists
that in the main he does not swallow
anything-except the meals at the
training table and the theory that
his particular institution, athletically,
can wipe up the earth with any of
its rivals.
Mr.. Goddard insists that college
values are falsified through athletics
and the unwarranted emphasis given
by both faculty and student to these
activities. To remedy this defect, he
would eject the intellectually inert"
from the student body. On the other
hand, he concludes that 'broad cul-
ture" is menaced by the marrow
specialist" and this person also he
would Danish to the outer darkness.
Thus the college finds itself be-
tween two fires, approaching rapidly
from opposite directions and equally
mcnacing. Under the circumstances
its only apparent course is to dig a
mole, jump IN anu pun the mole IN
after it.
Despite all the handicaps, how
ever, men do manage to learn some
thing of value while they are at col
lege. Even Mr.. Steffens, we believe,
emerged from whatever classic
shades overhung his youth with some
helpful additions to his native en-
dowment. When one has acquired his
intellectual and sociological emf
nence it is a comforting thought,
doubtless, to take to oneself the sole
credit of the triumph, but we must
believe that Alma Mater cut at least
one foothold that aided Mr.. Steffens'
ascent of the mountain OF Fame.

COLLEGES IN A BAD WAY

Various hard knocks are being
dealt nowadays to the colleges and
other institutions that endeavor to
teach the young idea how to shoot.
The critics do not at all agree, but
they all admit, with ready gener-
osity, that something is wrong.
Lincoln Steffens, who laid out a
whole scheme of self-education in a
recent number of Harper's Weekly,
said college instruction was lacking
in inspiration, that it dealt merely
with what the faculty chose to re-
gard as established formulae; that
it limited knowledge to the assump-
tions Of the textbook and ignored,
if it did not anathematize, the whole
shadow-land of history, philosophy
ard science, into which the adven-
turous student might easily be
tempted.
Such ventures into unexplored
fields appeal to Mr.. Steffens as by
far the most worthwhile expendi.
lures of the college mans time and
energy. Temperamentally, he op-
roses the "crystallized" theory or
practice of education. He is against
the administration of learning in
capsule form.
The college graduate, as Mr.. Stef-
fens views him, is the necessary
product Of his environment. He has
never been urged or even encouraged
10 use his imagination and as a con-
sequence the faculty has become
atrophied. He is convinced that
Iretty nearly everything of value has
been discovered and that most of
these discoveries have been COM
municated to him. When he reasons
at all it is in a circle and he returns
inevitably to his starting point. He
is totally lacking in intellectual initi-
ative. When he gets off the narrow
teaten trail of his own experience
lie is lost and thereafter merely
founders.
Turning to Harold C. Goddard,
who fires his battery in a recent
article in the Century, we find that
The trouble is not as Mr.. Steffens
supposed it to be, but something
largely different. He finds the COL
lege attacked by two evil influences,
one of which, curiously enough, is
the identical spirit of speculation
and incitement to specialized re-
search against the absence of which
hr. Steffens inveighs. Mr.. Steffens
lays the college graduate swallows

In my visits to the segregated dis
yon red light bill, asked this ques-
tion of several women there: What
brings these girls here?" And almost
without exception the answer
came: Misery. always misery"
One Of them said: "I do not know
of one who came who was not
driven here by misery"
And then this woman talked to me
of the sanctity of the home and the
duty Of mothers.
Il am not excusing myself or my
girls" she said, but 1 am speaking
truly when / say that virtuous wo-
men crowd these girls down into
the neither world, utterly refusing
to believe any good of them. Re-
member that these girls are often
led astray through ignorance,
through betrayal, but nearly always
through the nobler side-their wom-
anly affections"
'Then," she added, trouble
comes. their friends turn the cold
shoulder to them, and they end in
pIdSSS uhe tnlS-
If you ever have the opportun-
ity, tell these good, but mistaken,
women-most of them mothers
that you women. are responsible
for the continuance of the double
standard of morality which has ex-
listed for so long. Tell them not to
foolishly pamper their children, and
so unfit them to protect themselves
when temptation comes. Tell them
that 1t Is better to send their chill
dren out into the world with knowl-
edge to conquer evil than to leave
them to the chances Of Ignorance.
And ask the men who are SO
careful about the morals of the wo-
men they marry. and whom they
expect to be the mothers of their
children, why they are not more
careful regarding the morals Of tho
men to whom they marry their
daughters?
And. another thing, how many
mothers do you know who listen
patiently to the questions Of their
children. trying to distinguish those
which are prompted by real curios-
ity from those which are merely
idle ones, and then set themselves
to work to answer them?"
And at this point, one of the young
women who sat near me remarked:
I have no wish To say anything
against my mother, but II she had
only answered my questions honest
ly. would not have gone for infor-
nation to other sources"
Yes" said my informant. there
are those in your kitchen, your
nurseries and schools who find 1t
easy to give the information which
you Withhold. Why don't you good
mothers have more tine for your
children, instead of less, and why
don't you give them honest answers
to sex questions Of life and birth:''
And 1 could but believe that we
have withheld these answers be-
cause we do not, Or have not, fully
realized that what goes into the
child's mind Is more important than
the food that 1t eats, and that the
way in which its thoughts are
clothed is more significant than the
way its body is clothed; that we do
not give honest answers to the ques-
tons which the children ask.
Well" said the woman, the
passing Of this Kenyon bill has not
come a minute too soon. 1t is time
We were forced to give up this busi-
ness and It is time. too. that mothers
realized the Importance of doing
fundamental work with their sons
and daughters and Of making this
