Dixie" and Yankee Doodle~

Writing in Arts and Decoration, the scholarly Daniel Gregory Mason ex- plains why Yankee Doodle, seems flat and stale compared with Dixie" He says:
 AnaIogies between the arts are pro- verbally dangerous, apt to mislead; but they also fascinate by their fre- quent illumination of dark places from unexpected angles. Why, for example is tho even division of a space, as in a landscape where the horizon line comes exactly midway between the top and bottom of a picture, inferior to the uneven division obtained by put ting it either higher or lower?
 Why, in a melody like Yankee Doo- die," is the precisely even subdivision of the time into equal notes felt to be so flat and stale in comparison with an uneven division into long and short notes as in Dixie"
 Have the two phenomena. apparently so desperate, any hidden psychological connecticut It> is at least worthy of note that in both cases we find diff ficulty in holding together the pre- cisely equal elements: the picture tends to brake into two pictures. the tune falls apart into notes. On the other hand, the unequal elements more easily cohere. The unevenness of the spaces in the picture helps the mind to pick out one as the more important (not necessarily the 1arger-apparently it is always &he lower portion that is so chosen) and to treat the other as pen dant to it. so to speak.

Poland's Women

OnaIiolte Aellogg, Tn the North American
 Review
 The future is work'.-that is indeed the slogan of Polish women today. Eyery- where in the thousands of children's din ing rooms, in the hospitals in the CO., operative shops and homes for working women, in the trades classes. and as they were drilling on the street, in all thetr varied undertakings, felt them courage ously repeating these words
 And then after I returned to Warsaw and was, in fact, just about to leave for America, l went to a big meeting of the Professional and Business Women's Club, where ono recognized the same thought breathing through every utterance This meeting was, in way. more interesting than any other I attended in Poland.
 The Warsaw group is part of a na- tionai professional and business women 8 organization, similar to the one recently formed in our country. And they had gathered to honor and to exchange views with Miss Lathrop of our children's bi1- reau, who had come across the border from Czecho-Slovakia, where she had : been studying the new republics under- takings for. it's women and children. The tall, very handsome and brilliant minded Madame Sktodowska, a sister Of the famous scientist, Madame Curie, whom mary of us forget is a Pole, was tho charit n of the evening, and she had about hert ae five women members of the . National l 5et, the seven women of the Warsaw municipal council, jurists, physi- clans. prof ssors of political economy and women froin nearly all branches of indus 2 try. It would be difficult to meet a more distin guished company.
 The comi aon note in the speeches was ' gratitude t,ward and faith in their sis ter republit, the United States. They did not try to minimize the terrific task be- fore them. but they faced it with hearts high.
 Any climax of interest, indicated by clapping, was also stressed by the orches-' tra, which played some brief, lovely song or interlude--any many times we rose to the Star Spangled Banner and the Polish hymn. Emotion seemed to fail to reach necessary expression until music had car ried on the paragraph. And I could un- , derstand how. after years of repression 2 in speech. these women rely on music more than we do.

Sixty Classes Of 2,50O Children
 On Half Time

E1fty of the leading citizens of Bridgeport met yesterday afternoon with the committee on public schools 1 of the Chamber of Commerce in the new and commodious quarters of the chamber at State and Court streets, I and for more than an hour discussed : the grave questions arising from the present condition of Bridgeport schools. The citizens present had as- : sisted the committee in an exhaustive survey of the school situation There were two distinct branches to the in .veStigatiOn. One phase was the aS- scertainment of the exact condition of the present schoofhouses. the char acter and extent of the grounds sur engagements for the pupils. The sec- ond phase was the determination of the question whether the structures now used as schools were sufficient to take care of the children. The directors of the chamber had already gone on record as of the be- lief that provision for the needs of fthe schools should be given priority { over any additional public improve ments, while at the same time as- tserting that the city's finances de- .manded maximum use of the exist { Ing plant
 The committee on survey reported the deplorable fact that twentyfour basement rooms were still in use as ischoolrooms in Bridgeport, and that :twenty-seven makeshift structures
 
 housing Bridgeport children during their school hours Another startling fact found by the committee as a
 result of its survey was that 2500 chil- sdren in sixty classes are forced by the niggardliness of the school ac- icommodations provided to be content with half-time. This condition was l described by a caustic critic in an-
 other city by the phrase "A half
 time school make half-bred child"
 It was clear from the emphatic ex-
 pressions of opinion registered at yes- terday afternoons meeting that the Chamber of Commerce is not going 1! to rest until this menace is removed 1 from the horizon for Bridgeport school children.
 Superintendent of Schools Samuel { J. Slawson led a discussion of the 1 Gary system. A report on the oper- ations of the system from observa-
 tions at Gary, Ind, where the sys- tenn originated. was made by Lynn w. Wilson. Superintendent Slawson expressed himself f1atly as of the ] opinion that the Gary system was
 the best system yet devised for bring ing the schools back to contact with
 actual life.

(. Of (. Against
 Broad St. Project

The question of the proposed Broad street extension, like Banquo's ghost, will not down. Yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, when 4 survey committee of leading cftizens met with the public school committee of the chamber. the pet scheme of Mayor Wilson obtruded it. self prominently into the discussion. Before the gathering was a report of the directors of the chamber. who expressly disciaimed any intention of presuminG to speak for the member ship, emphatica1iy condemnfng the placing of the project before school needs. and present were several prom anent business men who are thorough Believers in the extension plan.
 The first gun fired at the Broad street ghost was motion that the school committee of the chamber sup port the board of directors in their stand, This was unanimously pass ed, Secretary Seward Price. the of ficial Solomon of tho chamber, then announced that the question of supp porting the board of directors in their opposition to Broad street extension until the needs of the schools had been taken care of would be made the subject of referendum of the entire membership commencing to- day and ending December 6.

 The people most perturbed are the church leaders. In the light of the -esu1ts they are asking if the churches nave the influence in national life which they usually claim.
 It will be three years before an other pool can be taken. Although Glasgow, where the battle ragged most Tiercely, remains wet, prohibitionists derive encouragement from the large number of individual votes in that city on their side.
