An Encouraging Action.

The New York Times is authority
for the assertion that the British
Medical Association at it's recent an
nual meeting has recognized psyche
analytic and psychotherapeutic meth
DDS as legitimate in the treatment of
certain mental and nervous diseases.
That implies. we infer. that English
physicians are no longer expected to
renounce Freud and all his works.
The change in attitude will be for
the benefit of the physicians as we'll
as for that Of their patients. 1t will
be for their honor that they frankly
recognize the value of the theories
advanced by Freud and it will be to
the welfare of those whom they treat
that psychoanalysis may now be prac-
ticed by reputable doctors. Hitherto
It has been open to persons who were
sufficiently Intelligent to make use
of it. but not always to the best in
terests Of those whom they treated. In
England, at least, this state of things
may now end.
Freud, let US admit, was a pioneer
in his field. Later investigators feel
that some Of the conclusions which he
reached were erroneous. but this.
does not detract from the immense
value of his work for the field which
he opened is great enough to engage
the efforts Of many scholars for years
to come. That the British physicians

Her agriculture and her educational

In natural resources, Mexico is very

undeveloped. Capital from the outside

Constitution Day"

September II is called Constitution
day." and it may be that this day will
come into wide acceptance as the birth.
day Of the Constitution. History" is
often unhistoric. The Constitution did
not become operative or effective on
this date 134 years ago. At that time
the Constitution was but 1.-The pro.
posed Constitution" September II was
but one OF many important dates along
the course by which the Constitution
OF 1889 superseded the Articles of Con.
federation of 177S.
Congress. after much agitation and
discussion within itself and pressure
from without, adopted a resolution in
favor Of constitutional convention to
which the states should send delegates.
The date of the adoption Of that reso
luton was February 21. 1887. The date
Of the assembly of the convention was
May 25, representatives of seven of the
states being present. The considera-
tion of "a proposed Constitution" was
begun. The instrument. as agreed to
by a passing number Of delegates. was
signed by a sufficient number of those
delegates to give it authority as the
product of the convention. These
signatures were attached September
II. 1887. 1t is from that fact that we
get CONSTITUTION day."
The convention transmitted the pro.
posed Constitution to Congress with
a resolution stating how the proposed
federal government should be put into
operation, and an explanatory letter.
1t was on September %, 1887, that Con.
gress directed that the proposed Con.
stitution, the resolution and explana,
tory letter of the constitutional con.
vention "be transmitted to the several
legislatures in order to be submitted
to a convention of delegates chosen in
each state by the people thereof, in
convention"
The debate on the proposed Consti-
tuition in the constitutional conven-
tions of the states is one of the many
interesting incidents in the history of
our nation. Delaware. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachu-
setts. Maryland. South Carolina and
New Hampshire ratified the proposed
Constitution in the order named. and
it was considered as adopted by the
required number of states. New Hamp-
shire's ratification was June 21. 1888.
Virginia's ratification followed five
days later and New York's one month
later. The government Of the United
States began its existence. under the
nsW Constitution, March 4. 1889.

monest observation that in such cir
cumstance3 pedestrians use the streets

Everybody is for himself. Machines
negotiate the crossing at their first
opportunity, and there is no regular
impulse to permit safe crossing by
those who walk.
pedestrians at the street intersections
except at those points where the traf-
f1c moves by impulses. Such conditions
for regulation can be maintained only
through traffic onicers. A very large
force would be required to station one
Of these men at every congested point
in the city during the rush hours.
Progress along certain streets in the
business section afoot has become
very slow between 4 and o'clock ow-
ing to the time required to cross the
streets. Thus to 60 from 9th to 18th
streets on F at such a time takes about
twice as long as a few years ago. And
at every one Of the crossings there is
peril.
Most drivers are careful, few are
really reckless or thoughtless. But
many Of them forget that the pedes-
trian at the street crossing has GER
tain right in the law. Much Of the
trouble arises from turning corners
without warning. A person afoot at
one Of these points must. to be quite
safe, look in at least three directions
almost simultaneously. Unless some
better method Of regulation at the
crossing is devised and enforced it
may be necessary to bar machines OF

the congested area during the hours
Of greatest street use.
