Oh, Pioneers!

In his New Year address to the
Grand Street Association, composed
of former boys of the ever glorious
East Side. Secretary Davis sang the
song Of America-told once again
the story which as long as it can be
told means no one need fear for the
Republic.
The boy who is not lowered by
fortune has no longer. say some, the
chance such as youth once possessed
Don't believe it. TIE refutation is
on every hand. Call the roll whcr-
ever leaders Of America are assem-
blcd. ask for the company to indulge
in autobiogra ply and to tell Of per
sonal origins. and whether it be cabi-
ret. OF directing board. or faculty. or
institution of learning the result is
ABOUT the same. Instead Of the poor
10y having no chance, it would still
seem the rich boy has none. His
parents think to arrange that he
shall have, but their most careful
provision finds it difficult to provide
an education equal to that fur
,ished when opportunities are free
and sponsibilities must be carried
early.

Rehabilitating the Port

The Port Authority has sent to
the governors of New York and New
Jersey It's plan for the comprchcn-
sive development of the Port of
New York The port district has
a population OF 100000. 1t en-
braces 105 organized municipalities,
some in New York, some in New
Jersey. Seventy-tive million tons of
freight are carried annually into or
out OF tho district by its twelve
trunk~linc railroads. Eight thousand
steamships bring IN or take out 45,-
100000 tons of freight each year
-Four million tons of foodstuhs arc
required annually to feed the people
within the port area.
Our present port facilities arc no.
toriously unequal TO handling this
enormous business economically.
Delays. waste motion and archaic
methods Of distribution harshly pc
nahze the local merchant. manufac-
turer and consumer. A barrel or
bag of potatoes, for instance, can be
carried by rail from the Mississippi
Valley to the breakup terminal here
for less than the cost Of getting it
from that terminal to the retailer in
New York City. Newark or Paterson.
The Port Authority offers a plan
to cut out excess local delivery
costs. 1t is matured project,
sound in engineering and in
financing. It treats the port area
as an economic unit, overlapping
state lines, whose Development on
the broadest lines is to be secured
under q bl-state treaty, approved by
the national government The port
IS TO be modornized for the benefit
Of all the Inhabitants of the two
sea,es within whose boundaries it
les and of the nation for which it
is the chief commercial inlet and
cutiet.
The Port Authority's plan aims
at connecting up the railroads
With the piers aud with the cen
tCrs OF local distribution. 1t is
even more than port scheme. 1t
s a scheme Tor the coordination Of
practically all inbound and outbound
freight traffic. 1t overcomes the
river barriers which have isolated
New York City and put an extra
toll On its commerce. The whole
thing is to be financed without re-
course 10 the state or the city
treasury.
Here is definite, workable prof.
&C. for the relief of the entire port
area. 1t is within the Logislaturc's
province to approve it. The city au-
thoritIes arc talking about present
ing rival plan, caring for this
city only. New Workers are not in
terested in the political and separat-
ist features of port reconstruction.
They are for larger measure of
improvement rather than a smaller
one. They don't want to sae hope
deferred by Wrar9les among Off
cials. The Board Of Estimates sub
st!tute project mus- show marked
superiority over the Port Authority's
scheme if it is to obtain serious
hearing 1t can hardly do this. and
cooperation with New jersey under
the bi-state treaty has gone too far
to be interrupted by purely surface
local onpositions and jealousies.

pamphlets arc not intended so much
for the sophisticated city dwellers as
for tho more sensible who still live
on the land. In the present case the
good Manhattanites who have been
lucky enough to live elsewhere will
look with mixed feelings at such a
pamphlet. a smoky fireplace has
many disadvantages. But many of
those who now use steam heat would
gladly accept the smoke and all if
they could only have the old open
hearth. What perfume, after all, is
so satisfactory as the smell of fire

Neighborhood Croups

After few months the women from,
these home and neighborhood groups
are very easily led 70 attend the
classes in larger centers, libraries
and schools. One full-time teacher is
able to reach from sixty to 100 women
weekly in these home and neighbor-
hood classes from three to four hours
week.
Since tho last meeting of the Leg,s~
lature the state has changed its policy
OF paying for the work Of IMMIGRANT
education. Instead of the direct nav
ment of persons engaged in this work
'nc state now places the responsible
lty Tor all expenditures directly on
the local school boards and reimbursss
them to the extent of SO per cent
or all money spent on immigrant edu-
cation. In many cities in the state
this policy has encouraged local school
boards to engage whole-tine and part
time teachers Of women in the homes
In New York City the mothers,
classes IN home and ncighborhood
rooms nave been seriously hurt by the
change. The city docs not employ full
tIme special teachers FOR IMMIGRANT
work and will not permit the payment
OF any teacher for class smaller
than twenty in number. The most DIFF
hcuit groups to reach arc thus cut
OH and the women most needing the
stimulus of English lessons for Amer
'eanizatlon arc the first to suffer.
In this emergency it appears that
immediate private support offers the
only hope for keeping faith with those
women whose interest in learning
English has been aroused and who
are threatened with losing all thew
have so laboriously gained. A plan is
row being devised for an emergency
committee Of women which shall con-
tinue the work on the broad basis
maintained by the state, fitting it into
the work conducted by the citv in rub-
Tic schools. Such committee would

New York State has more non-Eng-
l;sh speaking and illiterate women than
any other state in the Union. The evil
dence Of the 1920 census indicates tha,
there are, conservatively speaking. over
two hundred thousand confessed illit-

from twenty-one to fifty years old. II

women undoubtedly would be doubled
These figures do not include those be-
tween seventeen and twenty -one-a
very important group from the stand
point OF recent immigration, which has
included large proportion Of women
and children.
Immigrant education is a city prob
lem, and probably four-fifths OF the
state work is found In greater New
York. The day classes for women are
the newest feature of the work, both in
New York City and State. In the en-
tire state during the last year over six
thousand women have been registered
in the day classes. Half Of this num-
bcr enrolled in New York City. The
state department has paid for teachers
for onc-half of the mothers reached in
the home, school and neighborhood
classes, and the city has paid directly
for tho session teachers who have
reached tho other half. But, counting

Of tho problem is now being solved in

Seldom end without mention be-
ing made of Joe Walcott. The
Giant Killer" was probably one of
the greatest colored boxers who
have appeared in the game. His
battles against the leading white
fighters or his Gay were historic
exhibitions and won him great
popularity.
Walcott's greatest battle. prob
ably, was his meeting with Kid
Lavigne at Mespath, l.. l., under
the auspices of the Empire A. C.
in 1895. The gruelling battle end
ed in a victory for. Lavigne be-
cause, under the articles of agree
ment. he was to receive the de-
cision if Walcott failed to stop
him.
Lavigne was then the light
weight champ. Walcott agreed to
make 1913 pounds. Writers of that
time say that Walcott made ham
burg steak of 14avigne early in
the fight. Lavigne's recuperative
powers amazed ringsiders. Later
in the fight he even seemed to
improve and, boring into Walcott,
almost stopped the negro.
Walcott won the title Giant
Killer" when he fought Joe
Choynski. Wafcott stood feet
IL inches and weighed 14S
pounds. Choynski stood 5 feet
10 IL inches and weighed over
thirty pounds more than Walcott.
The negro stopped Choynski in
the seventh round. Walcott bat
tered Choynski into a weakened
state with body blows and then
dropped the bigger man with
leaping right to the jaw.
Walcott was born in the West
Indies and started fighting in
1890. His early victims includ-
ed Tom Tracey, Mike Harris,
the other noted men he fought
Gibbons and Dick O'Brien. Among
were Philadelphia lack O'Brien,
Honey Melody, Mysterious Billy
Smith, Kid Carter and Rube
Ferns, from whom Walcott won
the welterweight championship.
