The Penalized Professor

1t would seem as though the hard
ships of which American university
and college professors complain are
not peculiar product Of the Amer
lean climate. The glaring dscrep-
ancy between the ever-rising cost of
necessaries and a stationary remu-
neration for services recognized to
be of the highest Importance to tho
community is world phenomenon.
A writer in "L'Europe Nouvelle"
complains that mail carrier in
France is paid better than a public
school teacher. and two university
graduates, possessing equal qualifi-
cations, will in thirty years earn
salary Of $4,000 and 5000 francs
respectively if one enters the serv-
ice of the state as an engineer and
the other as college professor.
Still, according to the same testi-
mony, the French college teacher,
however ill-favored, Is fortunate
above his American colleague. Dur
ing the war. we are told, professors
New-York tribune., 1919-11-21

in French secondary and upper
schools were granted an increase Of
salary amounting to 105 per cent.
This may sound like Eldorado to
the American instructor; but the
gratitude of the French universi-
taire is impaired by his knowledge
that factory inspector serving un-
der the government has obtained an
advance Of 1870 per cent, and a
supervisor Of weights and meas
ures, another minor official, one of
180 per cent.
The same article remarks that the
European country where professors
enjoyed best treatment in the civil
service-and in all Continental
countries the teacher is almost in
variably state employee-was, Of
all nations, Czaristic Russia. Under
the '"Tchin," or semi-military hier-
archy instituted by Peter the Great
and in force up to the revolution, a
Russian college professor had the
rank and salary Of lieutenant
colonel. Even in Germany, where
similar, if less rigid, Standardization
Of officialdom prevailed. the profess
sor's rating was that Of major only.

Cause and Effect

Before sailing back to France last
March to complete the treaty presi-
dent Wilson said in speech at the
Metropolitan Opera House:
The Threat
When that treaty comes back gen.
tlemen on this side will find tho
covenant not only In 1t, but so many
threads of the treaty tied to the
covenant that you cannot dissect the
covenant from the treaty without
destroying the whole structure. The
structure of peace will not be vital
without the league Of nations, and
no man Is going to bring back a
cadaver with him.
The Consequence
The treaty was brought back en-
twined with covenant which
clashed with the constitutional pre-
negatives of Congress, and also
failed to safeguard American inter-
ests. On Wednesday the Senate
took three votes, with these results:
On the instrument, with safeguards
inserted and the intertwinings partly
severed
Yeas, 80; nays, IS. On a second
trial-Yeas, al; nays, 81.
On the draft as submitted by the
President
Yeas, 38; nays, SO.
What was brought back from
Paris Is a "cadaver." He made 1t a
"cadaver."

is the proud boast of these institu-
tlons that they have refused no one
on account of poverty; and this de-
spite war and postwar conditions
which have greatly increased the de-
mands made upon them. In the last
year 100000 free days of hospital
service have been thus given. The
suffering and loss of life that would
result if this service were curtailed
there is no point in conceiving, for
it will not be curtailed. The heart
of the city will not permit such q
calamity.
But the financial problem facing
these hospitals is urgent and grave.
The cost of caring for every patient
for each day has risen from $218 in
1918 to $3.50 in 1919. A total deficit
Of $3,000000 is facing these forty
six institutions. The directors have
assumed S2,00O,0OO of this deficit.
The remaining S1,00O,O0O is being
sought in the current drive, which
will come to an end next Monday
night, November "a. Only 100000
had been received yesterday. The
city has not yet awakened to the
seriousness Of the situation. It
should be added that the present
drive is to take the place of the Sat-
urday and Sunday collection which
has been taken in the churches of
the city at the end of each year. To
give now is, for many, to give what
it has been the custom to give in
ones church in previous years.
The Tribune asks it's readers to
respond to this great, humanitarian
call promptly and to the utmost Of
their ability. 1t is a large sum that
is needed. The time is short in which

Union Upkeep

Another feature brough. out in the
compilation of expenditures at these
mines was the cost Of upkeep of the
union with which the men are afiil-

sum collected in union dues from the
miners amounted to 81 per cent of
what the miner paid for house rent.

Giving Others a Chance

The Presidents original blunder,
out Of which his other blunders
have flowed, was in refusing to
name peace commission, broadly
representative Of himself, the Sem
ate and the country, to conduct the
negotiations
He was unsuited, by both position
and temperament, to carry on the
business at Paris. He falsely as-
sumed that he was all Of America
and was not only guilty of PARTISAN
ship, which was bad, but Of desire
to play personal autocrat, which
was worse. Not without reason
have other Presidents invariably
intrusted the minuti@ of treaty
making to other hands.
Having begun wrong, there is
now an opportunity to finish right.
A commission, commanding the con-
fidence Of the country, can even
now be named to clear up the mess
the President has made. Suppose
tomorrow it should be announced
that a commission or steering COM
mittee had been named to make
recommendations not only concern
ing the resolution Of the domestic
chaos, but to adjust matters to the
satisfaction Of ourselves and of our
friends abroad; suppose, further,
this commission should be consti-
tuted as follows,
William Howard Taft.
Elihu Root.
Henry Cabot Lodge.
Gilbert Hitchcock.
Robert Lansing.
Republicans and two Democrats and
our only living ex-President, whose
non-partisanship is admitted by all.
1t would include former Secretary
Of State and the present Secretary of
State; it would include the chait-
man Of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations and the minority
leader. Thus, it would be non-par-
tisan and doubtless command con-
fidence.
The President has lost the conf
dence of the country, Che Senate
and Of our allies. He has tried and
he has failed. Why not employ men
aOho mag succeed?
Such commission could be
counted on to hammer out an under
standing among themselves. All are
good Americans and all are free of
the delusion Of heavenly inspiration.
AS things are the Presidents
dwindling company of friends can
scarcely hope that supplementary
action by him will be deemed free of
an overmastering desire to save him
self. If it were necessary to consult
with our foreign friends concerning
the reservations is there belief he
would be fair to the reservationists {?
Having completed ly failed, the Presi-
dent should give other men chance
to succeed.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; II your correspondent, A Nom.
L., knew anything about keeping cows
he would not be worrying about the
extra two cents for his milk, but would
be thankful 1t was not ten. He asks
for advice as to how he is to get the
extra IA cents a week for his milk As
suggestion-he might earn adequate
wages instead OF an inadequate salary
or Mrs. A. Mem. l.. might do her own
housework instead of employing a
woman at 81 day, and spend the
money saved on S0-cent butter and first
quality eggs and bacon TO feed her man.
But A. Mem. l.. says they belong to
the educated classes, and implies that
this disqualifies them from labor Whv
should it? fear A. Mem. l.. shares
the general misapprehcnsion of the word
education. He cQnfounds it with literacy,
which Is something else. There are lit
crate and illiterate classes, but not edu
Gated classes. Eduction means bring
ing the perspective OF human experience
within the focus of ones own time. In
the nature of things this is not achieved
by classes--only by persons with the
grace of special gifts plus opportunity.
Henry Adams understood this. and il
was his tragedy to know that for all
his great traditions, intelligence and
learning, he and his time could never
meet. 1t was Theodore Roosevelt's
genius that he and his hour belonged
together.

The Forgotten Real League

Inc roEgotten Real League
in the excitement attendant upon
the attempt Of the President to pro-
claim the obsequies of the treaty
with Germany and its enclaved
covenant another treaty, in many
respects more important, slumbers
forgotten somewhere in a Washing
ton pigeonhole.
Reference is made to the treaty
Of the three, France, Great Britain
and the United States, whose rati-
fication the President agreed to
urge. How earnestly he has labored
to keep his pledge is suggested by
his omission to mention it since. He
went on his swing around the circle,
but was so busy as to have no time
to say he brought home from Paris
two treaties, not one, and that in
telligent friends Of organized peace
were aware that the unmentioned
one was as essential as the other.
Not by any form of words can
fact be repealed and made non-ex-
istent. If there is a league of peace
it must center in concert Of action
by these nations. They must stand
together or there will be no league.
We have heard much Of the heart
of the covenant, but the heart of
the league is in the proposed triple
entente.
All who have real desire for a
peace league have reason to feel
greater anxiety concerning the fate
Of the tripartite treaty than con-
cerning the fate Of the covenant.
The President is leisurely about re-
deeming his pledge. Hence, a great
er reason why others should become
active. Let the French treaty, cor
rected to meet the new conditions,
be reported and ratified, or let peace
leaguers desist from pretending to
care about world responsibilities.
