knowledge and the Gift of Teaching.

George Trumbul Laid, professor
emeritus of Yale, who has died at the
age of 10, had won an international
fame as philosopher and psychologist
which few American scholars have
equaled. But it is to be feared that he
was more reverently regarded when he
lectured in Japan, where he had a
special vogue, than was always the
case when he lectured at New Haven.
His retirment as an active professor
at Yale in 1906 was understood TO be
because the university authorities had
finally come to share the rather pro-
nounced undergraduate view of the un-
desirability of his course as fixed re-
quirement of senior year
On the occasion of a disrespectful
demonstration at one of Prof Ladd's
lectures years ago he haughtily an
nounced, Young gentlemen, My
reputation was made in Germany"
An early issue of the college funny
paper contained a thinly-veiled sa.
tire entitled Maid in Germany" which
some even of the faculty probably en-.
joyed. 1t is one of the frequent TRACE
dies of education that great learning
is not always accompanied by those
personal gifts which in the classroom,
stimulate it's pursuit in others. On the
printed page Ladd was somewhat more
fortunate; but even there he lacked
both the lucidity and humanity of Will

Improvement.

II was prophesied several months ago
by shrewd observers that business re.
vival would begin about the middle of
the summer. Recent events hear out
the prophecy.
There are many convincing signs,
chief among which is the increasing
wholesale demand for goods. Retailers
have bought as little as possible the
last year or two, in order not to be
caught on a falling market. Now their
shelves are rather bare, and they have
started filing them. The tendency has
been especially marked in textiles.
That is natural, for the readjustment
started first in the textile trade. 1t ex.
tends, however so many other trades,
and may soon reach all theimportant
lines.
The orders for goods that are ppour-
ing into every buying center win soon
be reflected in stimulated manufacture.
That means more employment, and in
turn, more buying power on the part of
the consuming public. Increased con-

Stocks and bonds have started up,

The placing of carvings, representing
present day types, personages, events
and dollar sign, on one of the larg-
est churches in the city of New York
opens somewhat startling avenue for
church decoration One of the archi-
tects declares the carving of the de-
signs on the church is by no means an
unusual feature of church construc-
tion and that it has been done in 9th
er cases. However, that form of dec
GRAFTON of church does not promise
to become very general throughout the
country even though the finding of
the strange figures IN st. Thomas
church may for the time being arouse
curiosity and interest. For instance,
the design showing prohibition, repre-
scented by a woman, tipping over a
chubby Bacchus is not, perhaps, the
highest type of architecture although
it may typify phase of current life.

not been behindhand in generous APP
probation.
Vermont, it will be remembered,
first appropriated one million dollars
for the National Guard, then made the
state pay law retroactive so that sol
diers and sailors of the war, those
engaged in military, naval and hos
pital service of all kinds were given
state pay regardless of whether they
served in the Guard, the national
army OF other branches of the service.
This does not seem much compared
with what Illinois has done, but it
was comparatively a large amount for
Vermont and is a proper thing TO re.
member when counting up what has
been done for the veterans of the
world war.
1t is not possible of course, TO pre-.
dict what individual states may do in
the future for their soldiers and sail
ors in the way OF bonus, but decidedly
the amouts run into respectable
aggregate and are worth considering
in relation to the merits of this great
question.
lncluenIdiy the pest thlhR lhab Ahe
federal government and Congress car
do at present is to make absolutely
sure that the measures for relief Of
disabled of otherwise needy soldiers
are humanized, simplfied and admin.
istered with regard to but one con-
sideration--the best thing for the sol
diers and sailors.
States may or may not follow Yer
mont's example,; the federal arm

been provided for--Rutland Herald.

PUBLIC WORKS FOR RELIEF
OF UNEMPLOYMENT.

Some indication of the stage of un-
employment in the larger cities of New
England is given by the announcement
that the city of Worcester, Mass, plans
to give work on municipal improve
ments to a thousand men, the time be-
ing divided into two-week periods with
$50 men to be employed on each shift.
Yet it is probable that this thousand
group thus taken care of for the time
being does not represent more than a
small fraction of the total number of
unemployed in a city no larger than
Worcester. In addition to the men.
there are, of course. thousands of
women who also have been thrown out
of work by the depression of industry
throughout the whole country. For
them there does not seem to be much
chance for some special job, such as
has been started at this time to give
employment to men. However, if there
is some form of municipal work which
can be done now, steps should be tax
en- in any community to get that work
under way and to employ such men
as are really in a position of great
need Road making is coming in handi-
ly as means of employment.

IL was a wise railroad which was
figuring on the possibility Of slump
in passenger traffic such as has devel-
oPed this summer. The railroads of
New England, as well as of other sec.
tons, are running trains with passen-
ger cars only partially filed, OF per
hsps even less occupied than that.
Those railroads which were counting
on the usual summer traffic were not
wise in their sizing up Of the business
situation and the growth of the auto
mobile tourist business. Possibly the
volume Of summer vacation business
has not been as great as usual thus
far. and the greater percentage Of that
has been travelling BY motor vehicle.

that rigid enforcement OF law in
Delaware serves as a danger signal
to criminals throughout the nation.
Crooks and other offenders says
the warden, know that once they
are caught here. they can not es-
cape punishment. "Our officers are
absolutely above suspicion and
'higher-ups' play no part here as in
other States" he declares
"Why, six reformed crooks who
served Jail terms in various States
In the Union told me the other day
that criminals have a dread for Del
aware law and consequently steer
shy of it's clutches" the warden
said in an interview last even

his opinion. As for myself I've

In many ways the highest point Of

line is fire prevention. The chief

now had an opportunity to learn the
most important things about fire
