Professor ALBERT Il. HART of Har-
ward University laments his Sunday
evening appearance on the stage In
this town with SCoTT NEARING, and
protests that had he known in al
vance the character Of the diatribe
NEARING intended to deliver their
misnamed Joint debate" would never
have occurred.
We have no sympathy with the
Cambridge historian in the unsavory
mess in which he finds himself.
Anybody mentally equipped to pro.
mote the progress Of n wheelbarrow
who has had opportunity to watch the
antics of notoriety seekers In this
country during the last half dozen
years ought to know exactly what
NEARING's sentiments are and pre-
cisely what his methods OF making
them known are. A professor Of Gov
eminent in a leading American uni
versity who on April q, 1919, did not
have NEARING's measure must have
led O truly clustered life.
What Professor HART did on Sun
day evening was to furnish much
desired gloss Of academic respectable
ity for the PRONUNCIATION Of Scor7
MEANINGS highly unoriginal and
highly unimportant utterances, which
without the presence of the represen
tative of Harvard University would
never have attracted attention. Pro
fessor HART should have know
enough to keep out Of such society
and as he did not few people will
regret that he got the treatment he
has received.

A Pathetic Instance Where College
Education Fails,

A matter of education that appears
so far to have been neglected by the
vigilant and active Federal Bureau of
Education is called to the serious at
tention Of this country by despatch
from Boston where in the past so
many important educational ideas
have been developed and so many re-
forms undertaken.
Apparently trivial as tho matter
may seem to the innocent bystander
in comparison with the League of Ma.
tons or the spread of Bolshevism 1t Is
declared to be "the subject Of heated
controversy among New England col
lege girls" The question Is thus
briefly stated by the Boston CORE.
spondent: Have shop girls better taste
in dress than college girlsf"
THE SUN has always held to a
strictly Neutral and impartial course
upon all these controversies. 1t was
never drawn into a discussion regard
ing the merits or dement's of tight
skirts, loose skirts or hobble skirts
1t remained Indifferent as TO whether
the hoop skirts Of the SOS or the
bustles Of the sos were to return, AND
It was discreetly noncommittal upon
all questions Of the shape or degree OF
decollete costumes for afternoon OF
evening wear.
It is. perhaps, not meet to ask Il
Boston would be the appropriate place
to make a satisfactory test of such
n matter. We can quote, however
the interesting observations Of, Mrs
MARY S. WooLMAN Of the Woman's
City Club Of Boston. who in discuss
ing the subject Of dress a short tim.
ago frankly said, -You know Dostor

The Beautiful City.

There stands a distant city
That has a golden pave,
A City that Is builded
Beside the Jasper wave
A Pearly Gate gives entrance
To all Ns treasures dear.
And II has long been promised
To saints who psrssvsrs
The pledge was made ere Woodrow
Had knowledge OF the fact,
Before his lofty ethics
Had any chance to act.
No doubt the City trembles
From rumors Il has heard,
And fears lest he should give II
To saints by him preferred.
