THE WOMAN'S VIEW

Miss Elizabeth Marbury. resolutely ad E

view, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was
telling the representative of this news =
paper at Geneva that the enfranchised
women of Europe represent new and
rising force for conservatism in the
world at large.
~ This is true. Conservatism is a WORD
often badly misused. In the better
sense Il implies constructive and pro

Women do get little closer to life's

THE TENNIS TITLE

TUE first year in which interna-
= tiohal sport has recovered anything
Ike. its pre-war proportions finds a
young Philadelphian officially qualified
to compete for the British tennis cham
pionship. William 4. Tilden's recent
series of victories at Wimbledon have
been as brilliant as any achievements
in the history of the game. His defeat
yesterday of Shimidzu, the japanese
star; clears the way for a duel for the
supreme title with Gerald L. Patterson,
Of Australia.
Tennis is today one of the most deli .
cate of the athletic arts, in which tenn
perament plays almost as signal a rart
as technique. Tilden has thus far given
II splendid exhibition of GOODNESS and
nerve, which means that every factor
IN his remarkable skill has counted for
full value. Philadelphians, who natu
rally take a special interest in his cx
ploits, will be perfectly satisfied with
the best Tilden technique. 1t is hard to
see that this can mean anything else
than triumph in the contest today.

shall have to adjust our digestive ap-
and gas engines in order to live.
Neither Mr.. Ketcham nor Mr.. Lane
pointed the way out. The conditions
which they bewailed have long been
known. We have been told time after
time whittier they tended. But the
farms have been abandoned by the
youth, who hope to live an easier life
in the cities and to get larger financial
return. Some of them have found what
they sought and have won great for
tunes. But most of them are still
working for wages. They live in apart
ments or small houses and bring up
their children in surroundings much less
wholesome than the open country.
There is no immediate prospect Of a
shifting of the tide of migration from
the cities to the country. But IL the
country boys can be kept on the farms
and trained in the arts Of agriculture
the food situation will grow no worse
The ability which will bring success in
the city viii also bring success in the
country. The agricultural papers were
telling a few years ago of a Georgia
farm boy who had made 81 900, 900 in
farming. He started with nothing. but
when he had paid for his first farm he
bought another and rented it, and kept
on until he was devoting himself ex-
clusively to looking after his tenants
and seeing that they managed the farms
in such way as to make them profit
able for him and for them.
What this man did can be done by
others with equal business ability. The
prospect for financial success and indie
pendence is more brilliant for the boy
who stays on the farm than for the boy
who goes to the city. There is always
a market for what he produces, for
fashions in food do not change and COM
petition does not drive the food pro-
ducer out of business. II some one can
solve the marketing problem so that
the farmer can get a larger share of
the retail price of what he raises we
shall have gone a long way toward
stopping the depopulation of the farms.

WfHILE the postponement by the

fare schedule may only mean a tenn
porary respite for its patrons, the adop-
tion Of the Public Service COMMISSIONS s
suggestion promises thorough and
legal airing of vexed question. En-
forccment Of the proposed free
transfer plan today would have been an
expression of contempt for the agree
ment Of 1907 between the city and the
p. r. T. Changes in the rates are a
matter for discussion by both parties.
The originally designed procedure
was frankly high handed. If change
must come or is found to be unwar
ranted by facts, the decision will be
arrived at legally. This much, at least
the municipality and public has a clear
right to demand.

does not change.
To my mind the solution of the
problem will come when people realize
the significance Of the situation and
what it will mean to the future Of edu =
cation and the country itself. Then the
public will pay the professors what they
are worth and conditions will return to
normal.

common sense. When the public real

Give Salary Increases
Larger endowment in many Of the
institutions has resulted in increases in
salaries of from % to 80 per cent. This

the cost of living has gone up 100 per
cent, and then it doesn't seem so en-
tirely satisfactory"
The state institutions throughout the
country are better off than the pri-
vately supported ones, because their
support has been increased more nearly
in accord with the great rise in prices,
in the opinion Of this authority.
'The result of the present con
ditions is that the state colleges and
universities are growing in power

ward and our finest eastern universities.
''The eastern educators have beer
concerned for some years over the grow
ing strength of the state universities
and now economic conditions have more
or less brought about the realization OF
their anxiety. One result of this will be
that the privately supported institutions
will have to stress certain lines of de
velopment and offer distinct advantages
In educational training of distinct

'It would be calamity if the pri

disappear, but ] do not feel that the
balance Of power will even shift from
them to the public colleges and univer-
sites in this generation. The pii
vately endowed college is more needed
now than ever. Institutions of this
type are far better for the purposes
of educational experiment and they arr
far more free from all outside and DO
litical influence. They are more indie

THE GOWNSM4N
At the University

TN VIEW of the doubts as to policy
and the difference of outlook among
alumni, the faculties and trustees of the
University, il seems well that hasty ac-
ton has not been taken as to new
provost. With course clearly deter
mined, the type Of man to carry II out
follows as corollary. It would be a
pity to push things to an issue with
many of the true friends of the Uni
versity unconvinced as to the actual
changes in its position which have taken
place. 1t is bitter to any of us not to
have his own way; and the bitterness
seems the more intense when our af-
fections are enlisted and intertangled
with those virtuous sentiments which
have their roots in our prejudices. What
is needed at this juncture is further
program of education. With many of
us, education ceases upon graduation
from college; with some 1t ceases even
earlier. Might it not be an idea worth
consideration, that of a post graduate
school, Of course, compulsory at least
for collegians, especially such as have
never studied much anyhow? Let 1t be
called a course in the current of events
academic. The swirl and eddy Of actual
progress might be mitigated somewhat
for such as need it. The demonstration
of motion is the main thing. But this
is tangent the Gownsman must back
to his theme.
