THE chief reason why our lex has been 6 o strenuously th1usting itself
toward the front of the stage is that for the last fifty years O so.
because of rapid social and economic changes, we have been storing
up q great reservoir of unused feminine energy.
To enumerate briefly some of the reasons for this storing up Of sur
plus feminine energy: Fifty years ago the house a an industrial or
ganization which supplied enough work to absorb all it's feminine men,
bers in directing and laboring, in bearing and caring for children, in edu-
eating young girls who had no other mode of training save this home
apprenticeship.
THIS LABOR HAS BEEN DONE AWAY WITH BY THE
REMOVAL OF WORK FROM THE HOME TO THE FACTORY.
Even more important in releasing feminine energy has been the fall
of the death rate and the birth rate. There is no longer need for such
q high birth rate to keep population sufficiently numerous. In large
families Of former days many children did not survive infancy Who
that has ever known the tragedy Of one Of these brief lives an regret
that changing conditions have at least partially done away with the fear
full drain o womans vitality of bearing and losing children?
FAR BETTER Is IT THAT THEY SHOULD PERFORM THEIR VITAL
AND PRECIOUS SERVICE OF PENETRATING THE RACE THROUGH A
LOWER BIRTH RATE AND THE DEVOTION OF SOME OF THEIR
ENERGY TO THE REDUCTION OF THE PERCENTAGE OF INFANT NOR.

RABBI BERNSTEIN APPEALS
FOR ALTRUISTIc IDEALS
In Opening Sermon at National Jewish
Chautauqua Meetings.

ST. Louis, No, Dec. 24.-An appeal
20 the Jews of America to govern their
lives by altruistic ideals was voiced
by Rabbi Louis Bernstein of St Jo-
sePh, No, who preached the r-ening
sermon tonight at the natic meet
ing of the Jewish Chautauq- Iciety
which assembled here today for a six
day session.
If the non-Jewish world" he said.
has been ignorant of our dreams.
our hopes and our inspirations, Jews
are not altogether blameless.
Our young people no longer draw
10Y from the wells of our salvation.
Bridge whist has supplanted the Bible
and the twisting of the tortuous mod
ern dance have shattered the ethical
outlook Of an aee-old faith. Once we
staked our life upon the principles
which, to perpetuate our fathers agOn-
lied. Today we stake our health in
the smoke-infested room Of a club
house. where we watch the cards rs
they reveal TO US whether we have won
or lost.
IF Jewish history and Jewish Iitera-
ture stand for anything at all" they
both spell deep message Of soCia

which there were fumbleS and mis-
takes, all of them human mistakes,
which pulled down the efficiency of the
team and resulted in the Crimson's
defeat.
During the first five years that Coach
Haughton was in charge Harvard lost
to Yale once, was tied twice and won
twice. That is not exactly a wonder
full record, but when it is understood
that previous to this time Harvard
had very little glory on the gridiron as
compared to Yale. For the six years
previous to 1908, when P. D. Haughton
took charge, Yale had defeated Har-
ward without allowing the latter to
score. In the 20 games which had
been played Harvard had won but four
while Yale was victorious in 81. Three
had been ties, and was forfeited. Since
Haughton took charge Yale has won
than doubled her number of victories.
Complete and Efficient.
During the fve-year period Haugh-
ton was building up his system. So
complete and efficient is it that it could
not be complete until at least this
number of years had passed. 1t was
not merely a case of teaching the play
ers the game as he understood it, but
of teaching his coaches the game, and
having them impart the knowledge,
with the addition of such experience
that they had gained as players. Like
the teams which it produced team
work was required in the system. AS
there is no "one man" Harvard team,
there is no ''one man" system. Haugh-
ton is the head of the system, but he
neither demands nor is given credit
for everything which goes to make for
the success of the eleven. He has
the ability of knowing which men are
valuable, and which ideas are impor-
tant. He throws out the rubbish and
keeps the things which will count.
This is why it took at least five
years to build up the system, based as
it was on efficiency of not only the men
but the coaches. The record of the
team in the last year of the first five,
and then in the three-year period COW
cred by his last contract is we'll known.
Next year there are 81 men returning
to college who played on the varsity
squad during the season, but only five
of these are regulars. J. A. Gilman,
the captain of the team, is the only

BROWN WILL MEET
CHAMPIONS OF WEST.
More Interest to Eastern Football Fol-
lowers Than Recent Syracuse Tour.

Of far more interest to eastern
football followers than was the recent
western tour of the Syracuse football
eleven is that Of Browns football team
which got under way Wednesday and
will eliminate in the New Years day
game between Brown and Washington
State college at Pasadena. Cal.
Washington State is the acknow
lodged champion of the far west, and
scored victories over two of the elev
ems which We're later beaten by SYRIA
Cuse. The fact that the latter two
had been defeated before Syracuse
faced them took considerable of the
eGge from the post season games.
Washington Sta te's string of unbroken
victories and clear claim to the far
western title places that team in a
much better position than were SYRIA
cUse's opponents, and the outcome of
the game will really determine the
comparative strength of eastern and
western football.
Twenty-One players, together with
Coach Robinson and his squad of as
sistants and trainers. are already on
their westward way. and expect to ar
rive at Pasadena early next week and

Brown & Perkins,
YALE COMMITTEE PCsTPoNES
SELECTION OF COACH
Four Candidates Under Consideration
by Special Athletic Board.

The investigation Of YaIes football
troubles, which is now being made by
the committee composed of Vance Nc
Cormiok, John r. Fitzpatrick and S.
B. Thorne, is progressing slowly. 1t
had been hoped that the committee
would be able to make a report be-
fore college closed for the holiday re-
cess, but the failure of the committee
to reach any decision at its meetings
in New York last week will probably
postpone the slection of a head
coach until after the holidays.
Although the committee has been
very secretive about its deliberations
what little has leaked out is chang
ing the guessing as to who will fill
the important position in Yale foot
ball. Before the committee got down
TO business the sentiment of the grad
uates seemed to be strongly in favor
of DR.. ZAP Sharpe. Then Foster San
ford men became very active and
doomed Sanford persistently and in
fact are still booming him. When it
became known that DR.. Sharpe was
tied up for five years with Cornell
Sanfords chances became brighter.
