EndOwing HOuseHOrE.
( Waterbury Democrat

l About a hundred thousand dollars
 was turned over to the Chicago School ! of Domestic Arts and Sciences the 1 other day as an endowment fund to l help in the education of girls and 1 women who have homes of their own, 1 or who expect to take up some line of domestic service for a living. This fund has a rather interesting history. Many of the exhibits in the Woman s building at the worlds fair held in Chicago in 1893 were gathered by the personal efforts of Mrs. Potter Palmer and women associated with her on the
 board Of lady managers. These exhib- it's, many of them most rare and beau- tiful, did not of course, belong to the
 exposition, and at the close, the exposi- ton board gave the lady managers permission to sell the exhibits and
 keep the money. They were sold, all
 except a few Isabella quarters which
 are still for sale, and the proceeds amounted to about s36, ,0OO. This Mrs
 Palmer invested, and in the twenty years following it was more than
 doubled. Two years ago committee
 was appointed to arrange about it's ft-
 nal disposal, and while they were in
 vestigating the subject, for two years
 the interest was paid over to the In
 fant's Welfare fund. The decision
 was finally made in favor of the School of Domestic Arts and Sciences,
 which seems most wise and apprOpri
 ate. The work of the lady managers
 at the, Worlds Columbian exposition marked a milestone in wOman's prog
 ress. People were astounded at the successful team work displayed by the women and at it's great results. Help ing this school to educate girls for the intelligent accomplishment of home
 duties fittingly perpetuates the work
 of the board.

A CORPORATION ROLL OF
HONOR"

Ever and anon there has been the cry of disapproval against the "heart, less corporation." And young men about to embark upon careers have been warned against signing up with those firms who look more to mone- tary value than to personal merit. But what must be said about such great concerns as the Pennsylvania railroad that recognize services rem dered by employees in such fashion as adding their names to the 'roll of honor" and taking care of them in their old age? Those are the things we rarely hear of, and it is worth while to know that on the first day of this year there were added to the "Pennsys' honor roll the names of ffty-fOur employees, five of whom had served the system for more than fifty years. Altogether there are now some four thousand names inscribed on this roll and in the sixteen years that the plan has been in operation more than twelve million dollars have been sr,Ant in pensions Here then is a fine piece of work. It is representative of real American honor. It ins )ires the men to give their very best be- cause they know that when their use~ fulness has departed they will not be unmercifully cast upon the scrap heap. Many other corporations could easily profit by emulatinG such good example.

since the beginning of the war than it has had before.
 It is not merely the sentiment for national defence that is strengthened by the presidents speeches. but the American people as a whole have been brought a little nearer together, the gaps have been closed, and everybody has a clearer understanding of the policies that the president has en- deavored to carry out in maintaining both the neutrality and the rights of the United States. Public opinion is not only better informed but it~is steadied and made more cohesive.
 The speeches themselves, in tone and in substance, have been models of political oratory, with no appeal To passion, no appeal to fear, but plain simple statements of the difficulties and dangers that have confronted the executive in the endeavor to keep Ehe country out of war and at the same time maintain the honor of the nation. Nothing could be more effective than the manner in which the president has explained to his audiences that the menace lies not in what we will do but in what somebody else may do, and over that we have no control.
 Hardly less significant than tpe speeches has been the manner Of their reception. The tens of thousands who heard MT. Wilson speak knew in- stinctively that here was president of the United States who was think ing neither of partisanship nor of poli- tics. but was bearing a message to which no patriotic citizen had right +o close his ears. Tn republic there can be no higher form of leadership than that. If the voice of the nation has spoken through the president, then so much the better for the 1ia- ton.
