The subject OF limiting the student
body has long been considered by the
university authorities. Now that a
decision has been reached it seems to
find favor among graduates and un-
dergraduates alike. The Daily Prince

great university" The new pro-

pose Of intensive rather than exten-
sive education. II plans to combine
the advantages Of the ''small college"
with those of the big institutions of
learning. Perhaps some graduates
of the popular universities, where
classmen not only do not become
acquainted with all their fellows
but scarcely see them, may agree
with Princeton that 1t is making no
mistake.

Nine. Olga Samaroff started on a
long journey yesterday at Aeolian Hall.
She purposes to play all the thirty-two
sonatas Of Beethoven for the pianoforte.
She disposed OF four and VIII occupy
seven more recitals In passing the re-
mainder in review. 1t transpired that
the project had fingered In the minds
of the pianist and her husband. Leopold
Stokowski. conductor Of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra. for three years
After the second Of the group of four
sonatas Mr.. Stokowski addressed the
audience and made the confession. He
also spoke of Beethovens place in
piano art. his relations to his prede-
cessors and his contemporaries and his
achievements In the development of the
sonata form. The number Of auditors
following the performance with printed
copies OF the sonatas indicated that
teachers and pupils had gone In the
hope of learning something, and, al
though there was no news In Mr.. Sto-
kowski's address, II may b~ that some
hearers acquired needed information.
The sonatas played were the three
composing opus 2--namely, No. l In F
minor. No. Q in A major and No. in G
major. Between the second and third
was interposed the E fiat sonata, opus
z. That these early and rarely heard
creations OF the young master could be
heard with unmarried pleasure and In
terest when well presented was delights
fully demonstrated.
No other pianist now before the pub

nificant progress than Nine. Samaroff.

seen homes built by industry and dill
gence. He has watched the growth
of sound business from small begin
nings to prosperity greater, it may be,
than their founders ever dreamed
they could attain. Undoubtedly Presi-
dent NEARPAss has had opportunity
to give good advice. 1t would be in
terestlng to get his opinion as to the
benefit derived by its recipient from
friendly counsel. He should know,
after his long experience, whether 1t
helps most men to listen to wisdom.
But If only one fool In hundred Is
turned from his folly by the words Of
sage, humanity has benefited.
Mr. NEARPAss serves his community
in another role. He Is the Police
Judge of Port Jervis. As a judicial
officer he sees his fellows in their
least attractive aspects. Just as men
of self-respect and rectitude appear
before him as a banker to insure their
future, there pass in front Of him as
judge the wastrels and the simple
tons who lack self-restraint and the
short sighted who have convinced
themselves that dishonesty pays. In
this sad procession, too, are some
times victims of misfortune. A judge
accustomed as banker to assisting
the ambitious ought to be able to
identify those who deserve sympathy
in the court room.
If Judge NEARpAss told a boy or
girl in danger of taking the wrong
road to call on President NEARpAss
for little talk, these two functiona-
ries should be able between them to
keep the imperilled one on the right
path, which leads through the savings
and loan association.

Bolshevists Spread Rinderpest.

Our Department Of Agriculture
believes the Bolshevists are respon-
slble for the spread through large
area of Europe of rinderpest, one of
the most dreaded of the diseases of
cattle.
Its dissemination Is thought to be n
part Of their general programme of
destruction and terror, and the man.
ner in which the scourge is being
propagated is characteristic. They
drive infected herds before them into
territory they wish to subdue. This
was the method pursued ip Poland.
They first inoculated cattle and tf.en
accomplished the almost total ami
hilation Of the milk and beef supply
Of the Polish people.
Rinderpest, which has long been a
menace to the herds of parts Of
Europe, Is happily unknown in the
United States, and now that its raw
ages have become more widespread
no doubt additional precautions will
be taken by our Department Of Agri-
culture to prevent its reaching our
shores. While the ordinary method
of infection Is through the medium of
live cattle, 1t has been found that
sheep, goats, deer and camels are sus-
ceptibe to it, and that it can be
spread through the raw products Of
infected animals.
There are at the present time joint
regulations of the Department Of Ag-
riculture and the Treasury Depart
ment forbidding the Importation into
the United States Of any by-products
Of animals affected by rlnderpest,
anthrax or foot and mouth disease.
All hides OF meat cattle, calf skins.
buffalo hides, sheep skins, goat skins
and deer skins offered for entry into
this country are subject to disinfec-
tlon in an approved manner unless II
can be shown that they come from re-
glons where rinderpest does not exist.
1t would seem the part of precau-
tion under existing conditions to have
all European hides subject to n thor
ough disinfection until the epidemic
of rinderpest has passed. The bulk of
the so-called patent feathers from
which dress shoes are made are
tanned from the hides OF young horses
or colts which formerly ran wild on
the Russian steppes. Dealers In colt
skins from all over the world for
merly gathered semi-annually Mt the
great fair at Mini Novgorod, where
millions Of the pelts were offered.
Most of them found their way to this
country, where they were tanned and
enamelled.
Perhaps the Bo,slevists have eaten
or destroyed wantonly, as they did the
American trottiug stock imported into
Russia, the parent stock which sup
piled this patent colt, as the leather
Is known In the trade, but II the
skins are being boarded and will al.
timately come on the market the
necessity Of taking every precaution
Is apparent.

Two Dead Pigeons.

Two European boys-their ages and
nationality are not given in the news
provoked a riot in Bombay on Mon
day by killing pair OF pigeons In
the street. The birds are sacred to
many Indians, and I'm the disturb
ance which, followed their killing the
police found It necessary to take the
European boys and several Hindus
in charge. On Tuesday the Stock
Exchange and the cotton and bullion
markets were closed because of popu-
lar excitement, and there is talk of
general strike to give evidence of
the deep feeling the killing of the
pigeons has aroused.
This occurrence is referred 10 in
the news from Bombay as a grave
incident" and all who are familiar
with Indian history will recognize
Immediately wherein it is exceedingly
dangerous. There Is serious unrest
throughout because of many fac
tors, and anything which infiames
the religious feeling of consldera-
bic portion of the people may have
a highly disturbing effect.
One Of the causes contributing to
the mutiny In 1857 was the issue to
the Sepoys Of cartridges creased
with tallow and lard. To the Hindu
the cow was sacred. and he would
lose caste by tasting anything pre-
pared from Its meat, while the Mo.
hammedan was not permitted by his
religion TO touch pork. 1t was neces-
sary to bite the cartridge cases In or
der to prepare them for explosion.
Thus Hlndys and Mohammedans were
deeply affronted by what was a piece
OF administrative oversight. 1t took
the British year to recover all the
important positions the mutlneers
succeeded In seizing.
From this the gravity of the sltua-
ton created In Bombay by two boys
may be understood. The killing Of
the pigeons has significance among
great numbers Of the natives beyond
the understanding Of men and women
of Occidental training. 1t is on the
plane of wilful and malicious defile-
ment of venerated religious shrlnes.
wanton destruction of altar vessels
and religious images In our churches
would arouse In our devout anger no
fiercer than that which consumes the
offended Indians Mt this offence to
their belief Consequently what may
have begun as a piece OF Needless
sport" on the part OF two boys Las
already produced serious results and
will engage the deep attention Of
British administrators and statesmen.

A Rapid Transit Showdown.

~ When 1t came to discussing with
the members of the Board OF Estimate
the statute provisions and the inher-
ent powers of the State to carry out
his rapid transit programme Gov
ernor MILLER did not leave the Hylan
party leg to stand on. He made
it clear to those loose thinkers and
loose takers, as he phrased 1t, that
the State can and does permit munici-
palities to exercise certain rights and
functions belonging solely to the State,
but that the State thus delegating
such rights and functions does not
thereby surrender the indefeasible
possession of those powers.
But after all. the sorriest side of
those loose thinkers and loose takers
is not their ignorance and iniscon-
ception as to the delegated functions
permitted to the city and the Inherent
powers vested in the State. The worst
OF their political performances Is the
way they misapprehend or misrepre-
sent what it is that Governor MILLER
wants the State Government to do in
this matter. If the Hylan claques
have any conception Of the Governor
programme they know that 1t is the
only way this long suffering city can
get adequate, safe, decent and rea-
sonably cheap rapid transit They
know that they themselves, II they
had the power, the brains and the
honesty to do it, could not do a bet
ter thing for the people Of this city
than exactly what Governor MILLER
wants to do. Let them squarely ask
themselves and squarely answer these
questions:
Is IL to the disadvantage OF the
people of New York city or is 1t TO
their advantage to have all the trac-
tion companies, above ground, under
ground and on the surface, thrown
into and operated as one unified sys-
ten? That is what Governor MILLER
wants to do through the regulatory
powers Of the State.
Is it to the disadvantage Of the peo-
PIE of New York city or is it to their
advantage to have a single fare from
any point of the town to any other
point? That is what Governor Mil
IER wants to do.
Is II to the disadvantage OF the peo-
pie of New York city or Is 1T to their
advantage to have the unifcation Of
oil the lines accomplished on the basis
Of an inventory Of the true value of
the properties-with, as he expresses
II. all the water squeezed out? That
IS what Governor MILLER wants to
do.
II the political ranters don't want
the same thing done then they don't
want the people of New York city
20 get the right service at the right
price. for there is no other way they
can get the right service Mt the right
price. This is the rapid transit
showdown Governor MILLER calls for

A Series Of Cold Jolts to the Weather
Coming In February.

TO THE NEW YoRK HERALD. The
weather comes in jolts. Every time the
moon or planet passes between the
earth and another planet or fixed star

sun and causes a cooler effect upon the
weather by the next day or two. ex-

other positions Of orbs. These lunar
and stellar conjunctions will cause colder
spells of weather than usual this Febru-
ary, because they will AID to the four
cool influences caused by Jupiter, Sat-
urn. Venus and Mercury.
The most important cold jolts given
to February weather will be caused by
Venus about February 10 or IL. being a
day or two after that planet begins fore
ing the earth out from the sun. and

Kipling's Seven Seas.
His Own Selection Made to Explain
the Title of His Book.

To THE NEW YORK, HERALD: AS to
the origin of "the seven seas" an ex-
preston used by Mr.. Kipling and which
serves also as title of one of his
books. I thought IT would not be amiss
to send you what ran across in my
readings at the Public Library the
other night on this very subject 1t Is
taken from a book entitled "Rudyard
Kipling, Literary Appreciation" by
r.. Thurston Hopkins, published by F.
A. Stokes & Co, 1915. The extract In
as follows and appears on pages 2o3
and 204:
when THE Seven Seas was pub
lished people were somewhat puzzled as
TO the meaning OF this title. The in
spration for II has been discovered In
Omar. The phrase occurs in Fitz-Ger-
AIDS translation, the third edition. forty
seventh quatrain
when you and l behind the veil are passed.
Oh. but the long. long while the world shall
lasti
which OF our coming and departing heeds
As the seven seas should heed a pebble cast.
"Kipling in answer to an EDITORIAL re-
quest in T. P.'s Weekly has put the
question of the meaning of the name
Of his book to rest once and for all. He
has given his verdict as follows:
The seven seas are North Atlantic.
South Atlantic. North Pacific, South Pa
cinc, Arctic Ocean. Antarctic Ocean. In
dian Ocean, which seven seas include all
the lesser ones"
