RACE SUICIDE LAID
TO GIRLS COLLEGES
Coeducation Is Urged as the
More Desirable Course.

Pittsburgh. 49, Separate colleges for
women in the United States should be
abolished and coeducation substituted,
according to Professors Roswell John
son and Bertha J. Stutzmann Of the
University of Pittsburgh. ....E
This conclusion Is based on the
charge that women's colleges contrib
ute largely to race suicide among the
best elements of the American popula-
ton. .-g
In support Of this contention the rec
ords Of Wellesley college have been
Analysed and the results published in
the Journal Of Heredity, the organ of
the American Genetic association of
this city.

years after graduation fewer than one.

ute less than one child each to the
race-that is, they do not even repro
duce their own number. And the hon
or students, who from a eugenic point
Of view are assumed to be the pick of
the lot, do only about third as well
as this. ..u
To maintain a stationary population
the writer's say that every married wo-
man should bear four children. From
this point of view they believe that the
women's colleges are fastening the ex.
tnction Of the old American stock.
The colleges are blamed for failure
to give girls an opportunity to meet
young men and for failure to make
them DESTROYS or competent to be wives
and mothers. It is shown statistically
that the marriage rate Of Goods" is
considerably better, and it is remarked
that at Wellesley the students are for.
hidden to receive men callers even on
Sunday, their only free day.
Viewed as to marriageabili the in.
vestigators consider woman most at.
tractive during her college years, and
they declare 1t Of vital Importance that
young men should be allowed to meet
her in that period. ..

having been begun in modern style in
1873, when the Russians threatened to
take possession of Constantinople. The
work Of strengthening this port has
been carried on at irregular intervals
since. When the Bulgarians were at

ToDAY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.
BY o. Terence.
Lord Leven, 20 Today, Escaped in Dis
suise from German Prison.

Among the scores of young British
noblemen who have answered the call
of king and country" in the present
war, few If any, have had more thrill
ling experiences than the sandy
haired, sandywhiskered Scotchman,
who answers to the name and titles
OF John David Leslie-Melville, twelfth
earl of Leven and Melville, Baron Mel
vile, Baron Balgonie and Viscount
Kirkcaldie. The young earl was born
29 years ago today, April 5, 1886, and
inherited the titles and estates of his
father in 1906. He is numbered among
the wealthiest of Scottish peers. He
was Gin trade" before the war, enter
ing the office OF firm OF merchants
in London in order to gain experience
I that would enable him to look after
his big financial interests. He Is the
principal partner in two big banking
firms, and has visited America to look
after his interests in the United States
and Canada. In the early stages of
the war the earl went to the front
with his regiment, the Royal Scots
Grays, in which he Is a lieutenant.
He was wounded in August and was
left behind in the general retreat of
the British forces. After lying on the
field with bullet in his thigh for
many painful hours, the young Scotch
man was picked up by the Germans.
After spending long and weary
period in box car with other wound
ed men he reached a German hospital,
where his wounds were dressed. In
December last he contrived to escape
from the hospital. and, playing the
role OF Belgian refugee. he travelled
across Belgium in a northerly direc-
ton. His disguise was good enough
to deceive the Germans and he passed
through their lines and crossed the
Dutch frontier without a passport.
From Holland he made his way to
England, where his friends had long
since given him up as dead. Lord
Leven and Melville had many friends
in Germany, as his aunt, the Hon.
Miss Portman, had long spent most
of her time in her Berlin home. and
it is quite possible that some of these
aided the young Scotchman to effect
his escape. Lord Leven's titles date
back to the seventeenth century, the
first earl of Leven having been a
very distinguished soldier, serving in
Holland and in the parliamentary
forces In the civil war. and later work
ing for the restoration.

FIRST THINGS.
! unitarianlsm.

The first National Unitarian con-
yention was opened in New York just
half q century ago today, April s,
1855. for the purpose of strengthen
ing the churches. This meeting, the
hrst Of Its kind. was very successful
IN healing the MISUNDERSTANDING
which had long existed in the ranks
OF the religious liberals. Unitarian
Ism in America had it's beginning in
1888, when the Rev. James Freeman
induced the congregation of Kings
chapel 10 accept Unitarian doctrines.
III 1856 a Unitarian congregation was
formed In Philadelphia. For some
years. however, the Unitarians were
commonly known as Liberal Congre-
gafionalisfs, and It was not until the
days OF William Ellery Claiming that
UIlitarianism became a distinct de-
nomination. For many years there
was L heated controversy between the
liberal and the conservative Unitar-
inns. Emerson and Theodore Parker
were the chief defenders OF the liberal
school. and were practically driven
into Isolation and denounced as free
thinkers and unbelieyers. The ma
ffona1 convention of Unitarians half
a century ago have the demonina-
tion greater fomogeneity and resulted
In a larger liberation which now per-
nnits Unitarians to entertain a wide
divergence OF opinion.
