DOING MUCH WITH LITTLE

HaHE resignation of DR.. J. Russell Smith
from the Wharton School of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania because of the
inadequate salaries paid to his assistants
recalls the resignato of Dean Roswell
McCrea not quite three years ago.
Doctor McCrea went to Columbia Uni
versity, where a better salary was
offered. Doctor Smith goes to Columbia,
where adequate pay is promised to his
staff of assistants.
At about the time Doctor McCrea's
resignation was announced Provost
Smith began to urge the need of an en-
dowment of $20,0OO,0OO for the Univer-
sity. He said that it would be impossi-
BILE to hold its professors unless it had
money enough to pay them salaries equal
to those offered in other universities of
the same grade. The war has DELAYED
the campaign for the endowment.
How do the productive funds and in
come of the university compare with
those of other institutions?
Pennsylvania, with 5000 students. has
an endowment of $6,00O,0OO and an in
come of $l,900,000. Harvard, with $500
students, has an endowment of $2S, ,5OO.-
900 and an income of $4,000, 900. and
Columbia, with $4,000 students, including
those in its summer schools, has S33, 800
600 of productive funds and an income
of $5,350000. Cornell, which corresponds
in its relation to the state with the local
university, has funds of $14,7OO,OOO and
an income of 1925, 900 to care for 1850
students.
y 1t is not necessary to quote any more
figures to show how heavily handicapped
the University is in its efforts to provide
education for 5000 students With more
than $1,000,000 smaller income than
Harvard has for educating $500 students.
The wonder is that it keeps its teaching
staff at all and that it is able to give the
students an education equal to that
which they can get anywhere else. 1t
could not do this but for the sacrifices of
a body Of devoted men.
How long will the men of large for
tunes permit the University to continue
this struggle?

DOUBTS SANCTUARY

"WE ARE still in doubt. said the
w representatives of the United
States district attorneys Office in this
city yesterday, about the course we
shall pursue"
The reference was, of course, to the
great hot drought that is feared, pre-
dicted, prophesied or anxiously awaited
as something that may or will or will not
be felt over the land on the first of July
and afterward, even unto the latter end
of time.
Doubt in this instance is everywhere.
1t weighs upon the "wets' and "drys,"
those who do and those who do not. 1t
is major affection in the seats of the
mighty at Washington. Saints and sin
ners, good folk and bad, lawyers and re-
formers, optimists and pessimists are all
doubling together.
This doubt will clear away. But it
will last longest in Philadelphia. so long
as Mr.. Kane administers the affairs of
the federal district attorneys office.
Indeed this city, because of Mr.. Kane's
genius for doubling, may yet prove to be
an oasis in the future-a place to which
the thirsty may look not without hope.
II the United States district attorney
is half so doubtful, half so hesitant, after
July as he was in the days of the draft
and in his dealing with dangerous aliens,
then, no matter what minds are made up
elsewhere, it will still be possible to get
a drink in Philadelphia.

FREE ROADS IN PENNSYLv LvANIA

COUNTY authorities who inherit the
responsibilities of the toll road COM
panies as the various highways are freed
for general use often appear to forget
that toll road in good repair is some
times more preferable than a free road
which actually impedes travel because of
. long-neglected surface.
In many parts of this and other states
there are stretches Of roadway that were
permitted to fall into virtual ruin when
the toll gates were abolished. The work
Of road maintenance on free highways is
more expensive than it is on toll roads
because of the increased travel. Thus
the county that jubilantly abolishes toll
systems assumes considerable response
bility which it often is unable or unwill-
ing to respect.
The commissioners of Montgomery
county have always set good example
IN road maintenance, and now that they
have agreed to free the toll roads in the
ppper Perkiomen Valley, they may be
depended upon to keep their record clean.
But they are fortunate representatives

the maximum number which any teacher
can instruct with profit to the children.
Then when all this information was
collated and set before the public with
an exhibit of the economies that could be
made in certain ways and the money
needed to bring the schools up to the
proper standard of efficiency in other
ways, we should know what we do not
know now, and that is just how much
money is needed to give us the kind Of
school system which we ought to have.
There has never been a survey in any
city which was not worth more than it
cost. Cleveland spent S4S, 900 for such
thing two or three years ago and the
business men of the city are agreed that
no sum of money was ever more prof
itably expended for public purpose.
II is too late to belittle the value of
survey. IL has been established beyond
question. The demand for it does not
necessarily involve hostile criticism of
the Board of Education. And it will not
involve that unless the members of the
board insist that they are so much wiser
than the members of similar boards in
other cities that survey can show them
nothing which they do not now know and
point out no defects which they could not
remove if they thought they were de-
fects or if they had the money. We do
not think the members of the board as a
whole are going to assume this attitude
permanently and subject themselves to
this sort of criticism.
And we do not think, either that when
the board authorizes a survey it will
make the mistake of selecting mex
perienced or interested men to make it.
There are experts available whose sole
desire would be the ascertainment of
the truth, and its impartial and fearless
disclosure. Their knowledge is sufficient
to enable them to point out the merits of
the schools and the eficiencies of the
administrative departments as well as
the defects and the inefficiencies. The
names of these men can be easily ascer-
tanned when the boards committee
makes its belated report recommending a
survey.

THE GREAT DELUSION

SEVENTY policemen who, having
~ worked all day, had every right to be
tucked in bed at home or off having a

guard at the Academy of Music looking
for Bolshevists while Madam Breshkovs-
kaya, conservative radical, told of the
old revolutionist aims in Russia. One lone
heckler in the gallery made one lone in
terruption.
There are a great many otherwise
leval-headed people in this country who
will look backward some time in the
future and blush for the nervousness
they displayed in the presence of spook
made out of paper and ink. For that is
all that Bolshevism has been, is or can

Where the brown reeds rock on the POOLS

She passed in elfn shoon.

When the thin wrack flies down gusty

And the sunset flames and fades and dies

At dawn down sun splashed alleys where

Setting leaves Al stir, soft wings a-whirr,
A quickening call is the voice of her
To tree and flower and vine.

Where the violet peeps from ambushed

Where the brown reeds rock on the gold
POOLS edge,

Why should I fret unwilling ears
With old things sung anew
While voices from the old dead years
Still go on singing, too?
A dead man singing of his maid
Makes all my rhymes in vain;

And mine shall kiss again.

To make my music true?

The live world dances to.
