PRES. NICHOLS AND DARTMOUTH
COLLEGE.

ADl4Lf.hB.
Quite frequently it is the case that the
retirement Of college presidents Is occa'
stoned by reason Of the advanced age OF
the officials or by reason OF the passing
of their usefulness TO the institutions.
So it comes with great surprise to the
general public when a college president
sees III to resign when still young man
and apparently in the height Of success
in his position. Such case Is furnished
by DIR. Ernest Fox Nichols, head OF Dart
mouth college, who has just rendered his
resignation. DR.. Nichols is still young in
years; moreover, IL is certain that the
institution At Hanover has been making
marked gains in student registration dur
ing the period Of his presidency and, we
presume, along other lines not 50 open
10 the casual notice Of the public. Hence
another compelling reason must be sought
for in accounting for the resignation Of
President Nichols. Undoubtedly the rea.
.on lies in the fact that his natural In
elination il toward laboratory research
along the line Of physics rather than to-
ward administration work which de-
nands 80 much time that he cannot de-

cago woman. For instance, the fact that
Helen Kellar developed blindness some
wears after her birth did not make her
out to be a defective at birth; nor Is
blindness alone considered such handi-
cap on human being as to make that
human being wholly helpless and bur-
den to itself and to the human race. An.
other selection by Miss Adams OF de-
fective was person who, many years
after birth, developed traces of tuberculo-
sis. The well known social reformer
might have gone a little further and in
cluded all babes born into the world as
detectives, for each and every one OF
them has the possibility of becoming i'll,
blind, deaf. MANNED or otherwise rendered
sub-normal If Miss Adams had studied
the individual case in Chicago a little
more closely she perhaps would not have
made such poor selections for comparison
and for support of her position that all
babies, however terribly handicapped,
should be conserved to the last individ-
ual. A human being deprived of several
of the most important functions of the
normal life is defective, but Helen KEEL
lar was not defective, nor is the human
being born with tendency toward tuber-
culosis. As to the right to refuse medi-
cal and surgical science to a real defee'
tive, that is still an open question which,
unfortunately, Miss Adams tried to be-
fog by bringing in list of famous per-
sons who were not quite normal.

OConnel, president of the Metal Trades
Division. tonight, 'and also are work
ing out plans for shorter hours and i'm

PARIS, August 23.-Baron dEstour-

every officer has an orderly, who blacks
his boots. brushes his clothes and does

officers wear spotless linen and are
freshly shaven. They observe among
themselves most correct discipline.
Baron 'Estourneiles said the SOL
