Before crIticisinp the colleges and

get not merely eminent specialists as
instructors but any instructors.
Before criticising the colleges and
their teaching forces TOO caustically.
as Dean MCKENZIE seems to do, 1t
may be well to look In the other d.
rection and note one or two control
ling factors In the work of education.
In the first place, 1t Is clear that the
student or his guardian in choosing
his college knows or should take pains
to know what he is getting in the
particular channel Of development he
wishes to follow. Men generally pick
their colleges for some particular rea-
son. and they usually get what they
want at least In that respect.
But above everything, the matter
of the students own responsibility for
his college career and the success he
makes Of 1t depend upon himself. No
personal effort OF the teacher Will
compensate for indifference and neg
lect in the pupil. On the other hand,
industry, interest, will to learn will
always arouse the sympathy Of the
professor, and the bigger man he is
the more ready will he be to respond
to enthusiasm In the learner sitting
under him. Like everything else. the
universities to-day have new prob
lens Of new world to face. But
there is no evidence that they are
either fossilized in preconceived ideas
or callous as to the appeal Of the new
day. They are doing their best and
their need is not castigation but ma
terial aid and still more spiritual
appreciation.

to two changes regarding entrance re
quirements. The first was the accept
anoe Of certificates from recognized
high schools and colleges in lieu OF en-
trance examinations. The second was
the admission OF enlisted men who had
successfully completed a prescribed
preliminary course.
Last year nearly 100 enlisted men
passed the examination, being a much
larger number than ever before quail
fled. Reports from naval men who
are In charge OF this branch OF the
service are to the effect that at least
100 more will enter the Academy In
June.
The enrolment at Annapolis Is
now 2,250 midshipmen. three times
as large as it was ten years ago.
This and the fact that the Congress
men and other nominating officers
are now having little difficulty In
finding desirable candidates for mid
shipmen honors would indicate that
this famous old institution has lost
none of Its charm for the ambitious
youth Of the land.

Wool Freight Rates Prohibitive.

For railway wage-earners and ma
tional consumers alike there lis some
striking information as to the dire
consequences Of excessive freight
rates In memorial now before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from the Boston Wool Trade Associa-
ton and the National Wool Growers
Association. This document, which is
entitled "An Emergency Petition -
shows that the value of wool in the
West, where are the great sheep
ranches, Is back to the figures Of
1910, or between IA and 15 cents a
pound. But the traffic rates to Bos-
ton, the great wool market Of Amer
lea, running In some instances above
$4 hundred pounds, range on the
wool shipments from the Western
Pacific group and the Western group
OF States from 25 to 30 per cent. Of
the value of the wool.
There is no product being shipped
in considerable quantities, the me-
mortal reports, from the wool growing
territory. The traffic will not move"
In response to the economic laws the
value of wool has not only descended
from war imitation levels but has gone
on down to subnormal. But the pro-
hibitive transportation charges caused
by excessive railway labor costs kill
the wool business. kill the textile busi-
ness and prevent the consuming pub
lie from getting its clothes on a nor
NAL price basis.
Haul the excessive railway wages
down from war imitation heights
Haul the excessive railway traffic
ra as down from war imitation heights.
Ills country wants to go back to
work, but 1t cannot so long as war
labor costs and prohibitive transporta-
tion charges block the way.

interesting TO note that In this play O

her debut, as did the Mccoy sisters then

Broadway houses was Niblo's at Prince
street. its famous career nearly at an
end.
In that walk from Herald Square
down Broadway in 1893 one passed
many noted structures other than the
atres which have since disappeared.
The Broadway Tabernacle stood on the
northeast corner of Thirty-fourth street
and Sixth avenue. the Gilsey House at
Twenty-ninth street and Broadway; the
ST. James at Twenty-sixth street. Del
monicos on the opposite corner, the
Hoffman House at Twenty-hfth street,
where OF an evening in It's famous art
gallery bar the notables of the city
assembled
Adjoining was the Albemarle, Edwin
Booths hotel home. and on the next
block the Fifth Avenue Hotel. while
just across the square stood the Bruns-
wick on Fifth avenue. There was no
Flatiron Building then. but alorg the
great thoroughfare the leading dry goods
houses were located. and Tiffany's was
still at Fifteenth street. Facing Union
Square was the Everett House. and on
the Fourth avenue side the Clarendon
was as famous hostlery as in earlier
Gays. Not far distant in Irving place
the quiet and refined Westminster Hotel
maintained It's reputation.
Horse cars were running on Broad
way and In 1898 a car strike compelled
the residents Of the city TO walk while
the superannuated horses had a well
earned rest.
The passing OF the Herald Building

The Ches. Rivals.

JOSE CAPABLANcA was born the year
EMMANUEL LAsKER first achieved any
prominence as chess player. That
was thirty-two years ago. JOSE saw
his first game Of chess In 1898, the
year before LAsKER wrung the worlds
championship from STEINITz. So II
youth counted in chess as 1t does in
athletics there would be no wonder
Ing why the Cuban is ahead of the
German in the duel in Havana.
But chess is sport Of mind, not of
muscle. CAPABLANCA understood the
game, as 1t were by instinct, as a
baby. Not until he was s would his
father take him to the Chess Club of
Havana to play against the members,
although at 8 TAUBENHAUs could not
give him a queen and a beating.
LAsKER was not child prodigy. His
boyhood was devoted to mathematics,
with chess as side Issue. The Gu
ban. too. was good at figures as lad,
but his mathematical ability was not
as extraordinary as his memory. He
could recite seven pages of history
verbatim after two readings. But
memory, says CAPABLANcA, does not
make chess champions; 1t Is an aid.
but 1t is not indispensable. His men,
ory weakened as his play grew
stronger.
A few years ago, In Munsey's Mdga-
zine, CAPABLANcA wrote a piece about
himself. He told the things which did
not make him great player, but he
failed to make plain the factor that
did carry him to the top. Peculiar
functioning of the powers of the
brain" was as close as he could get to
the cause of his mastery.
LAsKER has fine chess mind. But
CAPABLANCA has chess genius, youth,
confidence and climate on his side.
These last two items are important.
He never doubts his superiority and
he Is playing ION the home grounds"

Richard Hale in Song Recital.

Richard Hale. barytone. who was heard
here in a concert with other artists re-
Gently. gave his first song recital yes
terday afternoon In Aeolian Hall. He
offered a comprehensive and well Sc
lected programme. His singing showed
voice Of good quality and sufficient
power, but OF bass rather than barry
tone range. He often forced his tones
beyond their upper limits with result
ant opaque and unsustained quality.
His knowledge OF styles was generally
praiseworthy. and so was his enuncia-
ton in several languages.
Some of his best work was done In the
"Credo,' from verdi's "Otello." His
musical intelligence served him well In
certain German and French songs.
though there might have been more deft-
ness in use OF voice and color. A manu-
script song by Robert Nathan, entitled
Last Invocation" words by Whitman,
was an interesting number, and espe-
cially well liked was q closing group of
negro spirituals. Miss Helen Chase

Mrs. Fanny White gave a song recital
yesterday In the Town Hall. This singer
Is known IN private life to many in New
York and has enjoyed social distinction
for years. She did not appear in public
asking any consideration on such
grounds. but bravely elected to invite
an audience TO listen to her as a profess
sionai artist. She presented a pro-
gramme demanding delicacy of style.
taste and sentiment. Fancy and humor
also found place in her entertainment;
but there was no attempt to burden a
light voice with the utterance Of tragic
emotions.
Mrs. White undoubtedly was nervous
at the outset. and probably some OF her
departures from the pitch we're attribu-
table to this. But her singing disclosed
merits Of substantial nature and dem
onstrated her right to enter the ranks
Of professional vocalists. The voice is a
light soprano OF very pleasing quality.
Some Of Its high tones were not entirely
agreeable yesterday. but generally 1t
was pleasant to the ear.
The singer showed understanding of
the art Of song delivery. She knew
how to enter into the spirit Of both
poems and music. and In some instances
was entirely successful in creating that
somewhat elusive thing called rather
vaguely atmosphere. In taste she was
admirable. and her diction in the nu
merous French lyrics was that Of A
cultivated student OF the language. She
was skilfully accompanied by Frank
Bibb. Her audience was of good size
and its applause was most cordial.
Mrs. White has been identified since
childhood with the summer life In New
port. where her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Lewis Quentin Jones. have long had a
villa Among her friends from New
York and Newport present at her recital
