Slaves of the Piano.

Wherever her story Is read thou
sands of reminiscent souls will ex-
tend sympathy to the Pelham girl
who ran away from home and went
to work as servant to escape piano
lessons.
1t Is wrong, we need scarcely say,
for children to run away from home.
But it is worse for parents to tie
pianos around the necks Of children
who have no bent toward music and
to whom piano practice is the most
terrible form of slavery.
The custom Of compelling children
to take piano lessons whether they
like them or not is one of the out
growths of that vanity which comes
with American prosperity. For gen.
erations the piano has been the badge
of the well to do domicile. Crossing
the bar between poverty and mod
crate circumstances was the signal
to buy piano.
Once the piano was in the house
could 1t stand there silent? Not
while one, two or three ablebodied
children were there, potential Pad
erewskis! Usually the mildest and
most obedient child was picked oul
for the sacrifice. The neighborhood
piano teacher was called in and the
ordeal began. Ordeal for child, or
deal for teacher, ordeal for the reigh-
bors. Tinkle, tink, tinkle tink! No
galley slave straining at an oar in
the top tier went at his task with
less heart. VI
And what good ever came Of 1t?
None, except that after untold agony
on the part the child its parent
could one DAY say to callers, "Ill
have Susie come in and play Smiths
March for you; her teacher says she
is getting along wonderfully with her
music"
There are societies for keeping
children from want, evil and the
ancient forms of cruelty. But where

Cermany's Middle Class.

In its news columns to-day THE
New YORK HERALD publishes some
intensely human documents furnished
by its Berlin bureau. They present a
vivid picture of the conditions with
which that great body of Germans
who represent what Europe calls the
middle classes struggles to live be-
meath a heavy weight of taxes and
the added burden imposed by the de-
probation of the German mark. To
the general reader and to the student
of. sociology alike these conditions
present the same interesting pgob-
lens: How does the middle class
of Germany really live? WHY it not
through the loss of ability/'to main
tain it's standards and traditions be-
come submerged or die out?
Before the war Germany was a
land where caste was recognized and
thus the expression middle class had
as clearly defiKed and as distinct a
meaning az anywhere else in the
world. Those who constituted 1t had
a class pride. They were proud of
the fact that they were the real lead
,ers in financial and industrial Ger
many, that they developed the ma
tion's wealth of natural resources
and its riches Of man power. The
imperial and royal houses. the no
bility and the military classes may
have /despised the German middle
class and looked upon its successful
members as upstarts and newly rich,
yet they willingly and gladly made
use OF the power and influence of it's
distinguished chemists and industrial
engineers, of its Krupps, Stinneses
and Rathenaus.
But with the establishment Of the
new Germany royalty. nobility and
the army officer passed as distinct
castles. In their place came the Ger
mans who either had retained some
OF their pre.war wealth or had grown
rich since the war began. There re-
mained the laboring class, as clearly
defined now as before tie world war.
Between these two groups is the
present German middle class. In
his recent remarks upon the outlook
in Germany an English observer.
WILLIAM II. DAWSON, said that he
sympathised less keenly with the
great body of wage earners, who
have not won back everything that
they enjoyed before the war" than
with the middle class, "the pension
ers, annuitants and renters. tl pro-

Discolored City Statues.
Park Department Efforts to Protect
Public Monuments.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
editorial article In regard to the effects
Of atmospheric conditions In this city
on outdoor statues has raised again the
very Interesting question as to the
merits Of marble and bronze for statuary
and their suitability for exterior use.
When It comes to lasting qualities II
seems that, without considering pre-
servative treatments. the bronze statues
have the hest of the argument, although
even bronze becomes pitted through oxi-
dation or faulty casting and requires
rather frequent applications of preserva-
tive coatings to prevent uneven coloring
after exposure to the elements.
Marble is of course easily dissolved
in the acidulated rain water and unless
preserved the surface disintegration in
creases in geometric proportion. gather
ing dirt on the rough service.
The d!scoloration you mention In re-
gard to the Verdi monument is not due
to the preservative treatment but is
caused by the oxidation Of iron parti-
cles in the dust carried into the marble
by water. In many cases marble is
discolored through oxidation of the iron
which is native to stone. The preserva-
tive which we are using is colorless and
Is chemically inert. so that there Is no
chemical action resulting from the treat
ment. 1t has the effect. however. of
showing up the yellow color of the
oxidized iron for the first few months
after II Is treated.
The only way to remove this entirely
would be to cut Off a considerable part
OF the surface. and this of course would
ruin the sculpture. The proper method
marble monuments Immediately upon
erection. If this Is done the marble will
require less care than bronze and no
yellow discoloration will take place.
The Park Department is doing its best
now to make UP for these past omissions
and Is trying to prevent further disin-
tegration and discoloration.
In 1855. when the Obelisk was fast
losing its hieroglyphs. the Park Depart
ment had this preservative treatment
applied. No change has taken place
since them, and an eminent geologist
called in, by the city recently reported
that the wax preservative Is still filling
the pores.
Delicate stone work in Central Park
the carving of which cost many hundred
thousand dollars has been allowed to
decay and is at present In an alarming
condition. and 1t will be a matter of
great regret IL funds cannot be secured
to preserve these priceless carvings to
future generations.

Central Park West.
A Plan to Make It a Two Way Street
and Increase Its Usefulness.

To THE NEW YORK Herald: In his
recent recommendation that certain
street car lines. including those on Coz
lumbus avenue south from 10th street.
be abolished Daniel l. Turner, consults
ing engineer for the transit commission
has taken a step In the right direction.
The removal Of the Columbus avenue
surface tracks would Of necessity throw
a large amount Of traffic to tho cars
which now travel up and down Central
Park West. and that avenue would be
made to serve the city as 1t should and
as 1t never has DONE There Is no good
reason why Central Park West should
be one way thoroughfare.
In 1917 the Ottinger bill passed the
Legislature. 1t provided for the trans
fer of the easterly street car tracks
on Central Park West to the western
side of the avenue. This can now be
done. The Central Park West cars can
be made to relieve the ever present
traffic congestion of the West Side.
To accomplish this will of course
mean cutting down of the sidewalk
on the west side Of Central Park West,
but that Is a matter which should have
received attention long ago. With the
avenue widened and again made two
way street the entire city will be BEN
Gifted and time will be saved to thou
sands going to or from business. 1t
seems to me that this Is matter which
should receive prompt attention at the
hands of the transit commission.

Lands Does the Right Thing.

TAIN LANDS from the Federal bench
is proper and welcome document
Everybody. whether he be interested
in the judiciary or baseball, will ap-
prove the Judges decision.
Long ago THE New YoRK HERALD

ing to the grave and important du-
ties, of United States District Judge
there was the matter of the dignity
of the bench. True, the pay of our
Federal Judges is poor: but greater
men than LANDS have been willing to
take the sacrifice with the honor.
The very fact that the baseball
owners were willing to pay Judge
LANDS salary nearly six times as
large as the $500 he received as a
Federal Judge aggravated the case.
The Lands Of baseball overshadowed
the Lands of the Illinois District
Court. The judicial office. even II
it's incumbent administered it per.
fectly, was belittled by his occupa-
tion on/the side.
We ARE glad to see Judge Lands
in az single field. His keen intellect,
hiS interest in and knowledge Of the
national game, his evident desire to
make baseball clean, all promise a
career of usefulness. The incident
of his attempt to hold the two places
at once may have good results. 1t
has called the public's attention to
the fact that this Government pays
its Judges miserably.

Subway Speech Reform.

1t has been one Of the profound
convictions of most New Workers for
many years that no human agency
could improve the speech of the con.
ductors and guards of elevated and
subway railroads. Neither solemn
pleading nor humorous criticism had
any effect on the guards, who pur-
sued the even tenor and bass of their
linguistic ways. deaf to all sugges-
tions of reform. In conversation
with passengers they talked Manhat-
tanese as fluently as the worst of us.
But when it came to announcing sta
tions they lapsed into a tongue mo-
body could understand.
But now the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit subway management has worked
marvel. In some cars Of this sys-
tenn passengers hear voice clearly
announcing the name of the station
at which the stop is made and the
name of the next station at which
the train Is to stop. The announce
ment comes from voices projected
from the roofs, megaphones carry the
sound through the cars and the pas;
sengers know exactly where they
are at.
Many wonderful things have been
accomplished by the telephone. There
are New Workers who are firmly con-
vinced the most remarkable Of all
these feats is the bettering of the
speech of subway guards brought
about by the telephone attachments
by means of which the stations are
announced in these subway cars.
Perhaps in time all conductors and
guards will do as well as some
now do.

fessional classes and large section

In the statements furnished by the
Berlin bureau of THE NEW YORK
HERALD a school director says: MY

His pay thus is 135 marks a day

fantry Guards places his total income
at $500 marks-$17.50--a month.
On this his wife and two children

economy"
A pastor with family Of six says
that the property he had before the
war has all been spent, that his sal
ary in 1913 was 1900 marks. or
s1.770, and is now $4,000. or $175:
and that where he paid 5.2 per cent.
on his income in 1913 he now pays 10
per cent. A physician with large
practice before the war says that the
property be inherited is worth only
one-fifteenth of its earlier value. that
his entire income is used up for
meals and upkeep. When his income
Is gone, he says, II shall have moth
ing left so far as I can see but to
put bullet through my head" There
is in all these economic biographies
pessimistic outlook, an apparent
inability to improve present condi-
tions or to find gleam of hope IN
the future.
But this does not mean, AS has
been said, that the German middle
class is dying out" That to-day this
is, the weakest element in the Ger
man population is perhaps true. That
in the present struggle wealth and
labor as the two fittest elements have
survived Is evident. But the sur
vival Of the fittest does not imply
the extinction Of the weaker. The
promising features of many of these
economic statements are the willing
ness to make sacrifices that the chill
dren may be educated, the unquehch-
able desire for books and good Head
ing, the willingness to work and the
determination to stick it out. What
those countries where castles are rec
ognized call the middle class is the
class which forms the bone and binew
Of nations. Germany herself aid the
remainder of the world will find 1t
an element Of the German popula-
tion worth preserving.

The Bible in School.
Its Influence in Education Both Spir-
itual and Literary.

To THE NEW York HERALD: I indorse
sincerely Charles r. Skinner's letter en-
titled ''The Bible In School"
In sounding the praises and honoring
the name Of our God fearing statesman
Abraham Lincolp let us not lose sight
of the fact that as a child and all
through his career the Bible was his
constant guide and close friend. It was
truth fostered in youth which later
breathed the spirit of freedom for the
nation. 1t was always Abraham Lin
coins greatest concern that he be found
on the side OF God.
To-day this nation leads the world in
spirituality. Think. IL this is true at
the present time. what the future holds
for the people Of our nation IL the holy
influence of prophets, Apostles. Christ
Jesus. Paul and others were inculcated
upon the thoughts of the youth Of to-
day through the Word of God. 1t would
revolutionize the world and advance tho
kingdom of Christ on earth.
Even from a literary viewpoint the
Bible Is indorsed by eminent critics as
masterpiece in literature. Viewed in
the light Of scientific right thinking
there is a golden woof of truth which
can be traced throughout the Bible from
Genesis to Revelation. and which, when
understood, can only tend to elevate.
educate and spiritualize thought and
lead to loftier ideals.
Let us hopefully pray that the time
Is not far distant when this Book of
Books shall hold an important place In
every school curriculum in America as
a spiritual guide to higher thinking and
living, as we'll as for It's literary merit
and beauty Of style and expression.

The Tbeater.

The scene Is set--a sylvan way:
The suIlen sun Gets cold
As through the clouds that veil the day
II pours It's tarnished gold.
No bird fits through the bare gray
boughs
Along the darkcning dell.
And sad the rising night wind soughs.
And sad the evening bell.
The snow is sodden on the ground,
Tho whistling wind grows keen.
But we a talisman have found
That warns US to the scene.
For spring waits in the dressing room.
SO runs the rumor free.
And soon shall make the dull play bloom
While we applaud in glee.
