Patriotism School Urged
As Roosevelt Memorial
Professor Albert Bushnell Hart
Suggests Institution for Teach

A training school of patriotism and
citizenship, with q system of inter
national travel fellowships, as a me-
mortal to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
is suggestion made by Professor
Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard, to
the Roosevelt Permanent Memorial
National Committee. In letter given
out by the committee yesterday Pro-
fessor Hart says he has no doubt Col
onel Roosevelt would have preferred
a memorial appealing to the mind
rather than to the eye. and adds:
ON that direction | make the follow
ing specific suggestions:
"First-A Roosevelt Training School

be established in or near some central
city, north of the hot belt of Wash

the axis is Alhany-that ia In the best

professors.
=, "second-The second suggestion is
that q system of Roosevelt Inter
national Fellowships be founded. This
requires little in the way of overhead
expense, and almost nothing for prem
ises. The purpose should be to give
promising young men and women the
opportunity of a year POSSIBLY two
years. to spend in an educational
journey around the world, with a sti-
pend sufficient for the necessary ex-
pense (say $1,000 to $1,000 year;

Josef Hofmann Plays
At Philharmonic Concert

The solo performer at the Philhar-
monic concert in Carnegie Hall yester-
day was Mr.. Josef Hofmann, who
played Chopin's first concerto. A fact
which may be recorded because it was
the occasion Of comment was that the
audience was smaller than has been
the rule at Philharmonic concerts this
season, perhaps two thirds as large as
it would have been in all likelihood if
Mr.. Holman had given recital.
The phenomenon is not unparalleled
On the contrary, it may be said to be
the rule with the pianists of greatest
popularity. 1t recalls the story which

at would be a wanton crime to turn
these women out now to face poverty
and 10 swell the army Of the unem-
ployed," said DR.. George ". Kirchwey.
director Of the service, yesterday. "Wc
are urging all employers to keep the
women who so valiantly stepped for
ward to I'll the gap in industry caused
by the war, even if every household
has to go without female servants"
DR.. Kirchwey's remarks were called
forth by q suggestion of DR.. William
II Horuaday that women workers
should give up their jobs to returning
soldiers. In a letter published in The
Tribune yesterday Dr. Hornaday said:
turn back the women into their own
lines of work. Give the returned SOL
dier a square DEAL He further said:
"At present every American home is
penalized and handicapped by the en-
ployment Of female houseworkers in
mems places at mems pay"
Two Jobs to Every Woman
Dr. Kirchwey. in opposing this view,
said that for the most part women are
filing only such jobs as returning sol
diers no longer care for. He said in
stances were rare where employers
were refusing to take back soldiers
simply because the service Of women
was satisfactory. He ascribed The lack
q domestic servants in this country
TO the stopping Of immigration.
Figures produced by Mr. Kirchway
show that the employment service has
two jobs open for every woman who
applies for job The average number
OF Jobs Is 3,45o, as against 1896 women
applicants. Some of the jobs reported
Ppen every week are: Stenographers.
fi9; office clerks. 237; clothing work
frs, 1855; hotel Mattresses, los; sales
women, 123, and domestics, GS6. The
supply Of help in each instance is just
alf OF the demand, except in the case
q domestics, where there are always
three jobs open to every applicant.
Prominent employers declare that
they were not releasing the women
taken on during the war The Wool

women elevator operators who took the
places of men about year ago.

2 American Women
10 Join ParIey as
Labor Delegates
Misses Rose Schneidern,an
and Mary Anderson to
Seek Political and Indus
trial Justice for Sex

We are going to Paris with the
hope that women will be given politi
Cal and Industrial justice by the states
men framing the treaty of peace. This
IS our message to the working women
OF America" yesterday declared Miss
Rose Schneiderman, who with Miss
Mary Anderson. of Chicago, sails Mon
day to join the American peace mis-
sion. To the diminutive president of
the New York Women's Trade Union
League will fall the task of obtaining
1ull suffrage and humane working con-
dlAons for the women Of the world.
Miss Schneiderman and Miss Ander-
son join the peace conference com
mission on international labor legis-
latlon as aids to Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and Americas only other of
hclal representative on that body. The
two women, appointed by Mrs. RAY
mond Robins, president of the National
W omen's Trade Union League Of Amer
lea, from a committee approved by
President Wilson, now take their place
on the commission with authority even
greater than Mr.. Gompers, for they
will represent the women Of the world
No other nation has admitted women
representatives to the peace parleys.
Stand for Labor Rights
mot only will we speak for the
women of America and the world" said
Miss Schneiderman yesterday. "but we
will stand for the rights of labor
everywhere
"To-day it is the soldiers Of indus
try who must carry forward the banner
of democracyy' Miss Schneiderman
said. "and the nations of the world
must unite all their resources to train
and to equip their citizens so they
may use the full powers Of their minds
and spirits to defend the democracy so
dearly won.
President Wilson, in permitting us
to attend the peace conference, is
merely giving practical expression to
his declaration in Boston and at the
Metropolitan Opera House that it is
not the statesmen of the world who
are awaiting the treaty of peace, but
the people-the common people, the
workers.
Miss Anderson and I will 60 first
to London to exchange ideas with Miss

Mary Bondwinz, of the General Fed
Grafton of Women Workers. Then we
will go to Paris. We expect to be
gone about two months"

the demands Of the Women's Trade
Union League of America asks "that
the following labor standards be in
