money in trust. Both are old subjects
and have been discussed by many
philosophers and economic writer's.
The views Of DIR. Pritchett are inter-
esting in that they are those of a man
who is in part charge Of one of these
great trust funds. He discusses the
making Of rich gifts to colleges. and
his observations fit in with much Of
the current criticism aimed at col
leges, generally that they are becom-
ing somewhat more Of the nature OF
social centers than seats OF that kind
of schooling which aims at education.
But for every critic Of the big colleges
there are many defenders. Opinion is
divided. Colleges and universities
grow, and the student bodies multiply.
DR.. Pritchett says that Cooking
back over the last two decades it
seems clear that college giving on the
part Of the great foundations created
by Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Rockefeller
has acted as a great stimulus in the
upbuilding Of our colleges, but has at
the same time been partly responsible
for by-products that were not antici-
pated, and that can scarcely be re-
garded as benefits" He says that one
result has been an overemphasis on
going to college. 80 greatly has the
college idea been stimulated" he says.
''and so continually has the college
opportunity been held up before the
youth of the country that no door Of
opportunity seems open to the young
man or young woman except that OF
the college" He believes that many
of these young men and women would
find their greatest usefulness and their
greatest happiness in other vocations
than those to be sought through col
lege attendance DIR. Pritchett be.
lieves that it is questionable whether
science or even an art of public CIV
ing can ever be developed.

Redistribution in Prospect.

Prospect that the reclaSsificatior

session is now frightened by the an

upon passage in the Senate. A con
ference between the President ano
Senator's Smoot and Sterling held
yesterday developed the fact that there
are no insuperable obstacles to agree
ment from the different points OF view
regarding this measure, and tina,
changes can readily be effected in the
pending bill. which has passed the
House and awaits action by the Sen

ment workers fair compensation
suited TO their needs in these times OF
high cost of living. II puts the gov
crnment's administrative organization
upon a business basis.
The urge to enact this bill comes as
strongly from the advocates Of greater
economy in the governments conduct
of it's affairs as from the workers who
are necessarily directly affected. Nc
matter how much reclassif1cation may
incidentally benefit the Departmental
force, however, the measure is to bt
regarded particularly as one for the
benefit of the public service. From
that point of view promptness ir
enactment is highly desirable. Every
year that passes without action adds
to the difficulties of readjustment.
1t required many years to effect
adoption of the department retirement
system. Now that it has been put into
effect and is working out admirably
with some changes in detail still to
be made to insure perfect equity
wonder is felt that so long a time was
necessary to produce the result. Re
classification is later proposition
and there is prospect that it will have
been adopted and put into effect ir
much shorter time than the other
great reform, which has already yield

Officially speaking, the mayor OF

Hence the assistant mayor plan,
which Is regarded as a part Of a prof.
ect to present Mayor Hylan to the
people as presidential possibility. If
that is the plan it Is rather an am
bilious one. Up at Albany is a man
who Is already well known and who,
it is believed, will, despite certain
handicaps, be New York's democratic
Offering in 1924. But Hylan has a
powerful friend who has helped him
before, and who has no particular use
for the present occupant of the state
house at Albany, and who. though
perennially possibility himself. is
willing to share chances with the
mayor. Hence the new move, which
will be watched with interest, though
perhaps with no concern, by those
who regard themselves as more def
initely entitled to consideration at the
hands Of the democracy.

Frequent attempts have been made
to popularize the wearing OF knicker-

At a recent convention of clothiers
it was prophesied that the fad for

and that the girls would wear them
with silk stockings. For several years
they have been seen quite often In
some of the Connecticut towns, and
occasionally New York girls wear
them for tennis or golf, but they are

Pennsylvania Avenue.

pennsylvania avenue, under the plea
of public necessity. These attempts
We're always stoutly resisted In The
Star of February s, 1873. is the fol-
| lowing editorial regarding the latest
move in this direction:
AN effort is now being made in
Congress by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad to get permission to replace
their tracks on 1st street, in front
of the Capitol. under a plea Of tenn
porary use. We trust that Congress
will promptly reject the proposition.
Everybody here understands that the
pretext that the privilege is wanted
only temporarily is shreWd device
to disarm opposition, and that if they
once get their tracks replaced they
! will keep them there. 1t is idle for
them to profess that they only wish
to occupy the street for short time,
until they can tunnel their way
!, through the city or find another pas
sage. What that means we know by
the length of time they have been al
work on the Metropolitan road, which
has been going TO be built since the
i memory of the oldest inhabitants.
"If members of Congress will re
fleet for moment on the dangerous
nature of the nuisance inflicted upon
the Avenue by allowing locomotives
to cross it at one of it's most crowded
points at the junction of half dozen
streets. and directly at the foot of the
Capitol grounds, they will not for
moment tolerate the idea of restoring
an evil from which that locality is
now happily relieved. Those who re-
IN ember the almost daily accidents
occurring while that nuisance exist
ed from horses taking fright at sight
of the locomotives with long trains
| of cars. will join us in denouncing the
scheme for relayinS these tracks as
an outrage upon the public. We can

ty of having the locomotives, with

bells, crossing and recrossing Penn
