Evolution in Schools.
Its Teaching Opposed on the Ground
That II Is Only n Theory.

To THE New YORK HERALD notice
that Professor Selgman OF Columbia
and Professor Petrunkevitch OF Yale
have issued rather drastic statements
against those who disagree with them
as to the teaching OF evolution in the
schools. The first OF these gentlemen
says that II evolution Is eliminated from
the public school curricula we will have
left no science at all in the schools.
The second denounces his opponents
as enemies OF the public good. Why
is II that men OF otherwise good minds
and satisfactory education seem TO take
leave OF their logic when they approach
the theory OF evolution?
Evolution is simply an interesting

facts tending to prove X. The entire

Mythical Tax Reduction.

tax rate to fiat figure of 1914 on

property owners 1t would be great
good news, because II would mean

the tax rates for 1921, which were
the highest in the history OF the
city. II would he the first definite
sign that New York city had aban

But unfortunately the reduction in
the tax rate does not mean a reduc-

There is no indication in the city

reduced. The 1922 budget is $3.50,

Lower Telephone Rates.

Telephone rates can now be re-
Guced ) per cent. in New York city
and per cent. in other parts Of the
State, as ordered by the Public Ser
vice Commission, without endanger-
ing either the efficiency of the tele-
phone service or the financial posi-
ton of the companies. This is all TO
the good. So far as it takes into ac-
count the lower costs of material and
the somewhat lower level of wages
the commissions order cutting rates
is another indication that conditions
are returning to normal.
However, the criticism that the
New York Telephone Company has
set aside too much for depreciation
and has accumulated enough undi-
vided profits to warrant reduction
in rates cannot have figured i'm
portantly in the considerations which
led to the Public Service Commits
sion's order, even il the criticism did
come from the commission itself.
During the war the problem OF tele-
phone service was physical one. 1t
was a question of supplying suffi-
cient number OF telephones with ad-
equate service to meet the necessities
OF the Government, OF manufacturing
plants and Of Offices engaged in war
work. All non-official individuals and
businesses not contributing to the
nations war effort had to wait for
installation Of telephones until after
the war emergency.
But after the war ended no other
public utility in the State or nation
restored normal service more quickly
than did the telephone company. The

League for Filipino Women.
Education Through the Home Is
Object OF New Movement.
From the Monilo Times.


A number or prominent women in
Manila are starting movement to
organize a civic league to be called the
Filipino Women's Independent League.
the purpose OF which is to disseminate
education among the people OF the
islands through the home to help the
men in their struggles for Independence
and to inculcate into the minds or
women love of country and patriotic
interest in anything which concerns the
country's welfare.
The leaders of the movement are
women who may be said to be OF the
most intelligent and highly educated
class. including Mrs. Pura Vlllanueva de
kalaw, wife OF Secretary OF the Interior
Teodoro Kalaw; Mrs. Francisco Ben
itcz, wife OF Dean Benitez OF the college
Of education, University OF the philip
pines, and herself an instructor in the
university; Mrs. Rosa Sevilla de AL
vero, director OF the Institute de Mu-
jeres. and Miss I.ibrada Avellno, di-
rector OF the Centre Escolar dc Scfior-
itas
Education through the home will be
the principal concern OF the league. The
Intention Is TO educate the mothers to
proper appreciation of the high mis-
sion of motherhood. to a realization OF
what their duties arc toward an cnlght-
cred community. toward their families
and children The leaders Of the move
ment believe that proper education OF
children can be attained only by n

Lloyd Georges Crucial Year.

Political observers in England note
that DAVID LLoYD GEORGE, the British
Prime Minister. has come bang up
against the onerous job of preventing
history from repeating itself to his
disadvantage. OF DENosTHENEs IL
is written that his influence in the
councils of his countrymen reached
its climax in the eight years between
the peace of Philocrates in SAG b. c..
and the battle OF Cheronea in 33S
3. c." Moreover, it was just eight
years after JULIUs CESAR formed his
alliance with PoMPEY and CRAssUs
in so 3. c. that this coalition was
wrecked and CESAR elected to pro-
ceed thenceforward on his own ac-
count. The eighth year has def
nitely established reputation as a
crucial one in politics.
The star of LLOYD GEORGE has
dominated the political armament OF
Britain for seven years. During all
this time he has been necessarily
tackled and heckled by Liberals, Con
servatives, Laborites, Unionists and
Independents, and never has he SO
much as batted an eyelash. When
his opponents wanted battle he gave
it to them. good and plenty. When in
1918 a general election seemed de-
sirabe he gave them that too. When
his opponents condemned the Yer.
sailles treaty he championed IL and
then modified 1t.
His political foes accused him OF
shaking hands with murder by open
ing up trade with Russia, but he
replied that the welfare OF Europe
demanded the resuscitation OF Rus
sia, and the English people were deaf
to his critics and ignored the fact
that no trade with Russia developed.
The opposition wanted recently to
make an issue OF economy. LLOYD
GroRGE grabbed its thunder by ap-
pointing the Geddes economy com
mittee, whose report. II adopted,
would save millions where the oppo-
sition's proposals would have saved
only thousands.
In addition to all this, the oppo.
sition has been practically leader
lcss. The names OF GRry, BALToUE
and CECIL have been mentioned as
possible candidates for the Premier
ship, but until now there has been
only negligible response from the
electors. But the eighth year OF the
reign OF the smiling Welshman is
nigh besides, the fifth year since his
election will expire in 1928, and Brit
ish political tradition says that no
Premier shall 60 longer than FIVE
years without vote Of confidence
from the electorate.
u seems therefore that general
election in the not distant future is
likely. What will happen TO the
coalition which has backed up the
Premier all these years Is pres
ent concern OF Englishmen. There
has been talk Of new Nationalist
party to be headed by the Prime Min
ister; his letter to AUSTEN CHAMBER
LAIN telling the Chancellor of the
Excheauer that unionist backbiting
and suiping would have to stop lends

The Most Vicious Soldier Bonus
Measure Yet.

The latest bonus device OF FoIpNEY
and his faithfuls OF the Ways and
Means Committee for gouging five
thousand millions Of dollars out of
the American people would degrade
the American dollar and wreck the
Republican party. No party can raid
the Treasury for five billions of dol
lars for it's own political advantage
and retain the confidence Of the folks
back home.
Checking out five billions Of the
peoples money for the bonus doesn't
seem to mean anything to Congress.
All Congress has to do is to commit
the country to the debt and then let
the people find the money to pay the
debt And finding the money to pay
the debt means more and more taxes.
The Treasury can't pay out money
until it gets the money in, and the
only way it gets the money in is by
squeezing it out OF the people.
III Congress were conscientiously
for the bonus its frenzy to jam
bonus measure through wouldn't be
so offensive. A conscientious act is
an honest act. A conscientious act
may be stupid. but IL is not vicious.
A conscientious act, whatever its
measure OF intelligence. is not born
of seliishncss. The bonus raid on the
Treasury by Congress Is born OF self
ishness.
In working up the latest scheme for
chiseling out the bonus money Chair
man FoRDNEY excluded all Democratic
members OF the Ways and Means
Committee from the secret conclaye.
The Democratic members may well
congratulate themselves that they
had no part in this latest Ways and
Means monstrosity. 1t is 100 per
cent. Republican, TO the shame Of the
Republican party. AS an example OF
economic wisdom it is a blight.
The original plan of this measure
gave the pawnbroker and the usurer
n chance at these bonus notes. The
present draft makes 1t impossible
for n soldier TO borrow money on his
bonus certificate from these sources,
hut in eliminating the pawnbroker
and the usurer the measure puts q
demand on the banks Of the country
that would prove calamity. 1t de-
mands that they loan to soldiers So
por cent OF the face value OF their
bonus notes.
But to meet these bonus loan de-
mands the banks would have to call
in the money now loaned out 20 bust
ness. to agriculture. 10 industries, TO
transportation. including the money
loaned on farm mortgages. on home
building mortgages and on other
items. RI this were done it would
precipitatc a nationwide disaster,
strewing the land with bankruptcy
and wrecksgc.
Either this, or the Government
would he compelled to furnish the
money TO tho banks for these loans
And In view OF the fact that the Gov
ernmeut hasn't surplus dollar on
hand It would be forced to start up
its printing presses and turn out end
less millions OF fiat money to meet
tho requirements OF the banks And
tits fiat money becoming part Of
the entire currency OF the country
would depreciate the value OF all our
money deDreciate the value Of your
money, Mr.. Citizen. lessen the pur-
chasing power OF your money, Mr..
Citizen.

Tie House OF Representatives has
once more cut from the Agricultural
Department appropriation bill the
item providing 100000 TO pay for the
distribution Of free flower and vege-
table seeds through members OF Con-
gress. When this gesture of economy
has been made in the past the Senate
has always replaced the item in the
bill. This year it's suppression may be
sustained in the final draft OF the bill,
for economy Is the watchword in the

seed Is useless waste of taxpayers

Gatti- -Casazxa's New Term.


The extension for three years from
1928 OF Mr.. GATTrCAsAzzA's engage
ment as managing director OF the
Metropolitan Opera Company, an
neunced to-day by the officers Of that
organization, will be received by the
operagoing public as suitable rec
ognition OF his accomplishments dur
ing the fourteen years OF his ruler
ship and an assurance that the pol
icy he has followed to the satisfac-
tion Of the patrons OF the institution
viii be maintained in the future.
The Metropolitan is now the most i'm
rortant lyric thcatcr in the world.
To GArTI-CAsAzzA this prominence
Of the Metropolitan Opera House in
the musical world is in large meas
ure due. No other operate theater
now equals the Metropolitan in its
breadth Of enterprise or in the eX:
cellence with which its plans are
carried out. It may be said that no
other similar undertaking has the
material support on which the New
York opera may draw. but it woald
not reflect particular credit on any
impresario to win unique fame at
the cost of reckless and improbable
expenditures. IL is one OF the char.
actcristics OF the administration OF
Mr.. GATTf-CAsAzzA that operate pre-
eminence and business methods have
been united. The highest artistic
standards have hcen reached, but
obedience has been given 70 conserva
tive business principles. on which
every great enterprise in its final
analysis must be based IL it is to
endure.
I. Mr.. GArn-CAsAzzA's term Of man
agement has not been marked by the
anywhere in the operate world. He
has obtained the services OF the best
when they were to be reasonably OBJ
tanned. The business OF producing
opera is not one that can be made to
run parable, with other commercial
undertakings. Mr.. GArri-CAsAzzA has
done more than any of his predeces-
sors, however, to instill business
methods into the conduct OF an opera
house.
Possibly the most important result
of Mr.. GATTI-CAsAzzA's fourteen
years Of management at the Metro
politan is the recognition OF the
opera house as an institution of New
York. To-day less than ever before
is the public led to attend its per-
formances because Of the appearance
of this or that individual singer.
New Workers now go to the opera.
They 90 not GO on account of this
or that artist. as their predecessors
in large numbers did. or course
such an attitude OF mind could be
brought about only by raising every
detail OF each production to a uni.
formly high plane Of merit. In spite
OF most discouraging labor condi-
tions In recent years the orchestra
has been made an organization OF
splendid excellence. The chorus has
been trained to an equally high de-
gree or skill. The scenery surpasses
in beauty and appropriateness the
settings used in any other opera
house in the world.
These reasons would be sufficient
to explain the wise course OF the
directors in renewing Mr.. GATTI-
CAsAzzA's term Of management. TO
them must be added liberal but
conservative business policy which
has made his administration unprece-
dcnted in its prosperity.
