University now asks to have It's en-
dowment raised to the modest sum
of $8,500,O00. 1t is on the ground
Of it's practical usefulness at the
present day, with thousands of stu
dents Of financial and commercial
science in the first university school
for that purpose ever founded in
America; hundreds Of potential
teachers in the first university
school Of pedagogy, its guardian
ship Of public health in it's School
Of Medicine and the first university
school Of veterinary surgery, and, In
brief, its expert service to the pub
lie in almost every line.
The appeal is made to the public
because the university is backed by
no ecclesiastical or other organiza-
ton and receives no official aid from
city or state. It is the educational
servant Of the people. II should be
unthinkable' for New York to fail to
oversubscribe the moderate $6,450,.
600 which the university asks, not
as reward for work already done, but
to enable it to enlarge it's service.

The Pwitan's Tree

lean Especially il any hint Of Yam
kee ancestry turks in ones veins) in
these days Of unrepressed desires
and free souls and wide-open BIOS
soming generally. And rs this hor-
rible faint Of Puritanism has spread
practically across the continent, it
is only a few newcomers, fresh
from steppes or vineyards or some
such rich soil, that really know how
to live by the latest standards.
The only consolation discoverable
is the apple tree; and in this hour
Of that marvellous trees glory it
seems fitting to speak such defense
as can be made in its name. It is
essentially a rock-bound tree-at
least here in the East, where we like
to think it yields its loveliest out
line against the sky and its most
elysian flavor. It takes its best life
from q sturdy granite soil, and in
the shape Of its branches it ex-
presses something of the stern stuff
upon which it is builded.
No free-growing, upshooting shrub
is here, but q stalwart being,
gnarled and repressed, with solid
trunk and tensely turned branches.
Yet even it's shape, its showers of
tender branches upon it's solder
framework, is beautiful. And to-
day when its blossoms are out we
get exactly the most beautiful mo-
ment in the whole year Of tree and
bud and flower. Out Of the stern
old granite grow buds the loveliest
of the year, as rapturous and lavish
as the most moist and extravagant
blossom Of the South.
DR.. Freud has not applied his the
cries to the tree world as yet, so we
cannot speak with confidence of the
psychology Of the apple tree, its his
tory of repression and its gorgeous
spring Of living. We submit the
apple tree only as a symbol of what
Puritanism can produce when the
sun calls and the hour is ripe. What
other cline or soil can equal it?

Harsh Words for the White
Collar BRIGADE

TO tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Any efforts to organize the
white collar aggregation Of Office
workers are doomed in advance. They're
tho most cynical. conceited. hypocriti-
cal bunch of individuals extant.
Ever watch a pompous, swell-headed
clerk shrink up and try to pass the
buck to the Office boy when. the boss
Is searching for the perpetrator Of a
blunder? Ever witness tho sniro.r.
and uncomfortable joy Of the white
collar boys when one Of their number
is on the carpet?
And when one Of them is canned!
Wowl That's the time the rest let
loose. Means a step higher and a
dollar raise.
There's no fellowship, no esprit De
corps among Office clerks. There isn't
one OF them wouldn't give his soul TO
be called into private conference with
the boss to squeal on the rest.
Organize them? It's q Joke.

the story is sad, because II relates
to no isolated incident. but il the
symptom of a disease of worldwide
range, but acutest In the defeated
countries. In Vienna. moro than
anywhere else, strikes have ceased
to be economic or political: they are
simply psycho-pathological. Almost
everybody ia Vienna has been on
strike against everybody else--
teachers, clerks In law courts, and
dentists. merchants and doctors,
janitors and lawyers, railway men
and midwives. The Volkswehr, or
militia, haa struck against tho po-
lice; the Gentle students in the
university against their Jewish. col
leagues and vios verso. A treatise
from the pen Of that great viennese
reforner Of psychological science,
Professor Freud, might shed inter-
esting light on the self-conscious
roots Of the strikoid fever; his
chances to effect q cure would be
less than slight.

The Needs Of N. Y. u.
The current "drive" for q lar,

The current "drive" for q larger
endowment Of New York University
attracts attention to a state Of af-
fairs which is, we believe, unique in
the field Of higher education in
America, and which-for the sake Of
this city, and, indeed, Of a much
larger constituency than merely this
city-ought to be generously correct
ed. 1t is, in brief, that Of ono of the
largest, most active and most useful
Of universities struggling along with
one Of the smallest of endowments.
New York University has an en-
rollment Of more than 10000 STU
dents and a productive endowment
Of less than $2,000,000. Another
university. with approximately the
same number of students has an
endowment Of more than sixteen
times as great. Another, with the
same enrolment, has twelve times
the endowment. A third, with half
the enrolment, has fourteen times
the endowment. One of the "small
colleges" has practically as large an
endowment as this university, with
only 8 per cent Of its enrolment.
A group Of fifteen representative
universities and colleges in all parts
OF the country shows an average en-
dowment Of $2,926 for each student,
while New York University has only
S195. The fifteen have an average
income from endowment of $1S1.6a
for each student, while New York
University has only ss.77. Obviously
either the other institutions are
greatly over-endowed or else New
York University is disgracefully
under-endowed.
Time was when large endowments
were not greatly needed. It was
said that Mark Hopkins on one end
Of a log and a young man on the
other made university. But the
cost of education has enormously
increased, especially in an institu
ton which does not confine itself to
academic "book learning" but aims
to keep in the forefront of the an
Piled sciences Of engineering, sani-
tation, electricity, industrial chem
istry and the like. The cost of
equipment and maintenance Of .
single laboratory is greater than the
cost Of an entire university Of the
older type.

tinguished record that New York

Railroad Truth

Whence Comes the Present Shortage
Of Cars and Inadequate Scrpiccp
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In what way are tho railroads
welded together differently to-day than
they were the day before yesterday?
Why was it Necessary for the Inter
state Commerce Commission to be ap-
pcaled to to re-route freight.
The answer IS that the law gives only
the Interstate Commerce Commission
the authority to do this. The shippers
routing cannot be changed by the rail-
road-that is covered by law.
Why is the Interstate Commerce
Commission appealed to to divert cars
from one part Of tho country to an
other? The anwer 10 because, by
law, they are the only ones permitted
to take car from one shipper, who
needs 1t, and gives it to another You
will find that thousands of cars are
now being taken away from where peo-
pie want to load them to other locali-
ties, where the people are supposed to
require them more. This is discrimi-
nation against certain people and COM
munities.
The railroads are short Of equip
ment largely because while the United
States government had control Of the
railroads it failed to replace cars to
the extent Of more than 100000 and
about 1000 engines, which should have
been done. Why don't you tell your
readers this?
In 1917 the railroads Of this coun.
try furnished the greatest amount Of
transportation they had ever handled;
the Allies could not have survived
even until the United States entered
the war If it had not been for the
American railroads moving to them
food and munitions. And in 1913 thew
carried the United States through the
war, notwithstanding the government
furnished practically no cars or
engines during the time we were
actually In the fight; all the equipment
and facilities that were used were
provided by the private investors and
turned over to the government by the
privately owned railroads.
About every activity in this country
that functioned during the war, and
was needed in connection with it, was
financed largely by the United States
government; but so far as the railroads
were concerned the government did not
finance them at all. They merely took
them and promised to pay so much rent
and return them in as good condition.
including equipment, as they were
when they took them-and they have
not done either. They loaded them
down with indebtedness and then called
upon the private corporations to finance
the indebtedness or pay for it out Of
the rent. In other words, they built
up the activity Of the country, Great
Ing additional demands upon the rail-
roads, and did not build up the rail-
roads to take care Of this increased
activity On the contrary, they per-
mitted the railroads TO deteriorate dur
ing the time they had them.
