New Haven, Conn. April 29.-It
will have cost the 261 men in the
Yale senior class S~1,079,111 to get
their diplomas next June. according
to statistics collected by the Yale

determined by reference to bank
books and expense accounts. some OF
which have been the subject of I'M
pleasant parental interviews in the
past.
The most spent in one year by any
one man was $4,000, and was in his
freshman year. Another got through
the same year on 5000. The average
for the class was s1,076.
In sophomore year expenses OF the
Weather men took a slump, the
largest amount spent in that year by
one man being $4,000, while the min

War and Democracy.

A number of thoughtful people in England, and
no doubt elsewhere, are employing their idle hours
in specializing whether the great war will put a
premium existing class distinctions merge
the dwindling aristocracies of Europe into the
great melting pot of democracy. 1t is pointed out
on the one hand that in the stress of the hour
England turned-as in the past she has always
turned-to her aristocracy for leadership for
sell and above all. for example, and that she did
not turn in vain. The records OF the aristocratic
families, of the great universities Of the profess
sions and the public schools show-and it is a
truly glorious showing-that the English gentle
man has fought and died. is fighting and dying, to
a man. He alone, it is pointed out with nothing
to gain of the false prosperity of war, has under
taken the enormous burden of taxation uncom-
plainngly while the workman and the shopkeeper
and the manufacturer reaping rich harvest,
and have not hesitated, by strikes and clamorings
and fraudulent practices to hazard the safety of
the nation to increase their gains.
All this is more less true, and it would be
an unfortunate day for Britain if her aristocracy
we're submerged beneath rising tide of plebeian
mediocrity. But that that day will be brought ap-
preciaby nearer by the one may doubt. Not
because the proetariat in the present crisis calls
out upon the aristocrats to lead them to victory
For that will not prevent them from seizing the
opportunity to bring about general levelling up
if post beum conditions justify it. Financially,
the war represents the turning of thousands
of millions of dollars from the rich to the poor. To
some of the rich, those who manufacture and sell,
this money will return. But to the majority of
England's aristocracy the landowners Of the coun-
try. there will be no return. And pathetically
enough there has been even popular ou,ery
against their raising rents to meet with the new
conditions of prosperity among their workmen
tenants.
On the other hand, it must be borne in mind
that the British workman is essentially thriftless
He never saves. II he is making good money it
simply means more beer and skittcs for self and
family. OF all the vast sums of money that are
being poured into the pockets of the working
classes as the result of the it is safe to say
that scarcely fraction will be found there on the
day peace is declared. Who. then. is the gamer
The gamers are the manufacturers and small shop
Keepers, who are described in England as the
lower middle class. And the farmers will gain, too.
But socially the English farmer is negligible
quantity. The small shopkeeper in England is
never gentleman, and the rich shopkeeper seldom
is, though his sons usually arc. and his grandsons

always are. These men have always been the
original source OF the English aristocracy. That
lis very important thing to remember and differ
estiatcs entirely the British from tho continental
which essentially aristocracies OF
blood while the British aristocracy is aristoe-
;racy of wealth plus education. Only very small
fraction OF British titles 60 back than few
generations and extraordinarily large number
of them have originated in trade or professional or
scientific achievement Nobody in England carcS
la snap who so-and-so's grandfather was, be he
peer or commoner, or who his father was (prc-
suming that person to be decently in the next
world). But any Britisher can tell at glance it
so-and-so is gentleman himself. That he is re-
quired to be, of course. Neither he himself nor
his father must be in trade. But it does not
matter bit if his father was in trade, once he is
dead.
The state of affairs then. far as Britain 10
concerned, really amounts to this: that if at the
end Of the there is left enough of the aristoe-
racy TO anpart the traditions Of the English gentle
man to the coming generations recruited with I'M
accustomed rapidity, though probably not in un-
usual numbers from the ranks of the lower middle
classes, that aristocracy will suffer no diminution
and little loss of prestige native ability Prob
ably it will be stronger. For history teaches US
that wars strengthen aristocracies. while peace and
prosperity usually bring amelioration OF eondi-
tions to the wage-earncrs. But is useless to try
and theorize about British institutions No one
has ever done it successfully. A failure to do 1t
successfully is costing Germany the war at the
present moment. Elasticity and adaptability IS
their strongest feature. rule. and this applies
equally to the British aristocracy as elsewhere

goes. One could mention hundreds OF cases The
