Pick Of Barnard
Students to Take
Special Courses
Thirteen Are Designated to
Enter the New Honors
Glass as an Expert
mcnt in Higher Education

A deviation from ordinary honors
courses is being conducted at Barnard
College, Dean Virginia C. Gildersleeve
announced yesterday. BY the new plan
the thirteen picked women students
who have been chosen for the expert
ment will be able to specialize on one
subject and will be relieved from much
of the ordinary routine of college work.
This new special honors course, based
to some extent on the English system
of education, is designed only for stu
dents of unusual educational develop
ment. and will be open only as gen.
eral rule to sophomores and juniors.
Dean Gi1dersleevc said. however, that
sit might be possible for very ex-
traordinary student Of unusual ma
turity to be admitted at the beginning
of her freshman year"
eve have felt for some years." Dean
Gildersleeve said, that we spend too
much time on our mediocre and poor
students and not enough on the really
good ones. And we nave been inclined
to think that the system in our Ameri-
can colleges does not ordinarily get the
greatest possible amount of work out Of
an able girl and develop her scholar
ship to the utmost of which she is
capable. The distinction between pass
students and honors students in the
English universities seemed to hold out
a suggestion of possible usefulness. In
a way our new honors course is little
like the English arrangement, but we
are trying to adapt it to American con-
ditions.
eve intend this special honors
course only for students who know
their own minds and who definitely
wish to become scholars in a certain
field. They will be allowed much
greater chance for specialization than
the ordinary student, but we do not
think that they will develop into narrow
minded specialists. We expect to ad-
nit into the course only students with

Japanese Honor Roosevelt

A delegation representing the Japa-
nese industrial commission now in this
country yesterday visited the grave of
former President Theodore Roosevelt
Plaza at 10 o'clock and made the
trip to Oyster Bay by automobile. A
large wreath was 1aid at the simple
stone that marks the grave.
Following the visit to the grave the
delegates visited Sycamore Hill, where
they were received by the former Pres
ident's widow. The Japanese showed
particular interest in the sword, which
still hangs in the reception hall, pre-
sented to Colonel Roosevelt by the late
Emperor of Japan, and full suit OF
armor presented by Admiral Togo, VIC
tor in the decisive battle against the
Russians ut Tsushima Strata.

such intellectual ability and interasts
that they can absorb enough knowledge
of philosophy and economics. for ex-
ample, to make them intelligent citi-
zeus, without taking definite pre-
scrihed courses in these subjects. !.
"Of course, we do not think that all
students ought to be Of this type. We
most decidedly think the opposite. The
American college, with its aim of de-
veloping not primarily specialists, but
beings and citizens, trained intel
lectually, physically and socially,
should continue this excellent work.
We shall always expect to have a great
majority of our students of this type,
but we want also few first-rate
scholars and specialists

Bachal1s Heard in

Orchestra Plays
Great Pianist Shows Musi-

Program; Philharmonic
i'm 3 Beethoven Numbers
By II. E. Krehbiel

Were Mr.. William Bachaus an un-
known figure in the large world Of
music, or even in that Of New York
one might have gone to his pianoforte
recital in Town Hall yesterday after
noon with some trepidation, for his
program was a formidable and even
awc-inspiring one. But Mr.. Bachaus is
recognized as one Of the great pian-
lists Of the day in the capitals Of
Europe and is no stranger to New
York. He visited US first in January,
1912, played at concert of the SYM
phony Society and elsewhere, won quick
and warm recognition, and two years
later came again and in orchestra
concerts and recitals was heard with
delight by all Of our really musical
folk. 1t was somewhat discomfiting
to observe yesterday that his audi
had the appearance Of a gathering
drummed up to make such welcome
as is accorded to ambitious fedglings
essaying their first metropolitan
flight, or any errant bird of passage.
It did not speak we'll for the much
vaunted culture Of our public.
But the character Of the audience is
petty theme when an artist Of Mr..
Bachaus's caliber presents himself
for consideration. His program was
formidable and awe-inspiring, but with
it ne did honor to himself and the in
telligent element among his hearers
It consisted Of Schumann's Fantasia
op. IT; Brahms's Variations on a
Theme by Paganini and Liszt's Sonata
in B minor--three colossi in the liter
ature of the pianoforte. The first and
third of these compositions appear not
infrequently on the programs Of vir-
tuosi, but are seldom played as Mr.
mand Of their technical as we'll as

to us that none. of them frightens the
soul of Mr.. Eachnuss on the contrary,
he conquered them nll and marched
them past in stately and splendid re-

formances within little more than u
fortnight. Mr.. Kochanski was the solo
violinist, and his performance, which
was all on lofty plane and at times
scared into the higher ether, aroused
great enthusiasm-in the orchestra as
we'll as in the audience. 1t was admir-
ably accompanied, too, though the
string band, as if rejoicing in the
music in which the solo player was one
Of their folk, occasionally indulged
in so much sorority as to efface the
melodic line when it was intrusted to
the wood-wind choir. The overture was
generally marked by finely sustained
eloquence, which faltered only few
times because of what seemed to us
undue retardations of tempo.

Tentative MOVIE RULES
PLEASING TO CHURCHES

With two suggested additions, the
fve tentative rules prepared by Cor
poration Counsel Stephens to regulate
motion pictures are acceptable to the
church representatives who conferred
with tho Commissioners on tho sub
jeot.
In a joint letter to Mr., Stephens,
Rev. Lueius Clark of the Washing
ington Federation of Churches and
Charles A. Mcmahon Of the National
Catholic Welfare Council, ask that
an additional rule be drafted forbid
ding comedy soenee which ridicule
the clergy or characters in the uni
form Of the Army or Navy,
The letter also asks that the fifth
of the tentative rules be made ap-
plicable to the Legitimate theaters as
we'll as the movies. This rule would
forbid the use of saiacieus titles, ad-
veftising matter, photographs or 'lith-
ogPaphs in connection with motion
picture shows.
Ia asking that this rule, If adopted,
be extended to all thsaters, Dr. Clark
and Mr.. Mcmahon point out that the
rule might be held aH discriminatory
IL applied only to movie theateFs.
The final suggestion in the letter is
that when new rules have heen adopt
ed governing motion pictures that the
police department make regular visits
to all theaters, dance halls and other
places of amusement and report to
the superintendent On the character
of entertainment furnished the pub
lie.
The FIVE tentative rules drafted By
Mr.. Stephens have not yet been adopt
ed by the Commissioners. The city
heads will take them up at their ear
liest convenience and will determine
at that time. what to do with the sug-
gestions of DIR. Clark and mfr. MeMa-
hon contained in their letter.
