The question rf restoring corporal punish
ment in the public schools of Greater New
Tork has been put up to the Board of
Kducatlon by a favorable report of a com
mittee of the. board.
turlng the greater part of the last year
Nsw Tork teachers have been discussing
th advisability of applying the rod or
ruler to refractory pupils. Mora recently
th views of school superintendents were
ought and 470 superintendents of local
aehools registered their approval. On the
strength of this the committee reported
favorably to the board. A special meeting
for final action has been called for March
i. Part of the report follows:
"This committee Is of the opinion that
corporal punishment should be permitted In
our schools In extreme rases only under
atrtct regulations, and that ft should be
administered by the principal with the
written consent of the parents or else by
a parent In the presence of the principal.
Where parents refuse to give their consent
. or refuao to punish a child themselves In
the presence of the principal wa bWleve
that the principal should at once report
nch child to the city superintendent for
suspension, and when suspended the child
eh on Id ba sent to a truant school or a
scr.ool for Incorrigible.
"This committee believes that tho knowl
edge on the part of the pupils that there ts
punishment provided for persistent dis
orderly conduct will to a great degree pre
vent the necessity for Its use. This com
mittee also recommends that the board
of superintendents bo requested to recom
mend at once to the Board of Education
a revision of the course of study in ethics
so as to place more emphasis on the re
spect due from children to parents, teach
ers and others In authority."
The framing of suitable rulea and regula
tions for the administering of corporal
punishment Is to be left to the committee
on bylaws and legislation and the com
mittee on elementary schools Jointly. The
special committee which was appointed last
September comprised Nathan B. Jones, l'ir.
Dennis J. McDonald and George A. Vanden
hoff. Corporal punishment was abolished
In the Manhattan schools thirty years ago.
Smith's College Students in Platter.
A Vlea for less strom'.! entrance re
quirements, on the ground that they de
ter, or at least cause, postponement of
marriages on the part of. college women,
was a radical and unexpected feature of
the annual report of President L. Clark
Neelye of 8m)th college, Issued recently.
President See) ye says:
"The present requirements induce hur
ried and superficial work In preparation,
they protract unduly the period of pu
pilage and they have tntide .a higher edu
cation more expensive and thereby lest
accessible except to the wealthier classes,
who do not always possess the greatest
Intellectual ability.
"As most of the able men cotno from
the poorer . classes, it would be both a
public and a private calamity If It should
become harder for poor boys and glr'a
of ability to gain the mental culture they
desire. It would be a still greater loss
If by postponing the time of graduation
family life'"ridtil(l ' be" impaired. The
longer marriage la delayed the less likely
men are to marry. A college education
should not contribute to the modern ten
dency to celibacy. An Inferior quality of
scholarship Is produced Where the pupil
Is hurried over so much ground that one
study soon obliterates the Impression
made by another. Physicians complain
that entrance requirements seriously In
terfere with normal physical development.
Not enough time is left for rest and out
door exercise.'.'
President Seelye admits that Smith has
erred In the respect In which he advocates
reform and In explanation says that when
the college was opened In 1876 It adopted

The lecture on srt windows given on
February 7 by Miss Sheldon, doan of
women in Iowa college, was both Inter
esting and instructive. The stereoptlcon
views of cathedrals and cathedral win
dows were unusually beautiful, some of
them being In color, making one long to
see the originals. Miss Sheldon traced
the development of window making from
the earliest days In the orient to the
work of American artists at the present
time and gave a clear explanation of the
different processes used In preparing
stained glass and painted glass windows.
A great pleasure Is In store for Iowa
college In the prospective visit of Dr.
Lyman Abbott, who will spend several
days here toward the last of the month
and will address the students several
times. Dr. Abbott has long been Inter

visited It and now takes occasion to stop
here on his way to the University of Kan
sas. Rrhool Playgroande.
Philadelphia has begun a movement to in
crease and better Its playgrounds for chil
dren. The Philadelphia Playgrounds asso
ciation has collected facts which show that
the town is far behind other places in this
particular. It discovered that $11,000,000 has
been spent In Chicago during the last three
years in this work; in Boston 3,0CO,0CO hss
been invested, and In Pittsburg $3,000,000.
It la pointed out that the large area of
Fall mount park is denied (except In re
stricted spots) to the children, and that
Philadelphia, with facilities equal to almost
any other large city, is behind even many
small municipalities in this respect.
The Board of Education of that city last
summer spent $30,650 on the sixty school
yards reserved for play. New York spent
$456,000 on summer playgrounds, and Chi
cago $360,000.
In speaking of the necessity of such play
grounds, William A. Btecher, director of
physical education In the public schools and
secretary of the Playgrounds association,
said that unless there Is supervision the lo
calities are monopolised by the older and
stronger children, who hinder and in many
cases totally prevent the younger ones from
taking the necessary exercise.
"It is of the utmost necessity," he aatd,
"that there should be supervision and a
well organised system of play developed,
where there will be a fair field and no
favor. WJiere such games sre played there
is developed a faculty of restraint and self
control which la an Important factor In
the makeup of the future citizen."
In connection with the scheme for more
playgrounds for the children. Superintend
ent Brumbaugh has prepared statistics In
regard to the cost of playgrounds similar
to Watervlew park, Germantown. He esti
mates that it costs 1 cents to supply two
children with a playground for a day, while
10 cents wll pay for supervision and equ'p
ment for two children for one week. Dr.
Brumbaugh says that school education fails
to affect 809,000' children of the city, who are
on the streets and subject to physical and
moral dangers.

A Model School Janitor.
According to all accounts from Cleveland,
Joseph Kissick Is a model Janitor. He has
charge of a school building, and he goes
to his dally work In his own automobile.
He has obtained shower baths and other
civilising Improvements for the school chil
dren. The former Christmas girt to the
Janitor Is now turned Into shoes and stock
ings for the children who need them.
"Many of the boys here sell papers down
town." Mr. Kissick told a main Dealer
reporter, "and are at work from before
daylight up to a few minutes before school
time. They have no place downtown where
they can wash their hands and faces, and,
indeed. In the old days they seldom washed
at all. But now every boy goes to his room
with face and hands clean and hair
brushed. And the teachers tell me It has
made a great difference In their deport
ment. They feel refreshed, rested, well
disposed such Is the effect ot soap and
water and In a mood to apply themselves
to their books."
Edacatlonal Notes.
In the schools of Boston there are ap
proximately a.uX) women teachera, who have
about U0u0 "little women" In their charge.
In addition to the teachers there are thirty
nurses, skilled and experienced, to look
after the physical condition of the girls.

BALANCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE
President and Treasurer Make Their
Reporta for rh? Year, Which
9how Encouraging; State
of Affaire.
At the recent annual meeting of the
Omaha Creche the report of the president,
Mrs. T. L. Kimball, and the treasurer,
Mrs. Arthur D. Brandels, were submitted
for the year, 1907. The report of the treas
urer shows a substantial balance on the
right side of the lodger for the year snd
both reports Indicate the Creche to be oo
a most substantial and encouraging basis
and that It Is constantly growing in useful
ness. Mrs. Kimball, in her report as president,
says:
A happy New Year to you all. my dear
friends. I give you merely a summary of
events as I recall them from the exce.lont
monthly reports of our secretary, Mrs. Mc
Manon. Our expenses for the Creche are twice
what they were a few years ago and the
number of children cared for Is nearly the
same, but this Is not surprising. In view
of the fact that labor and the necessities of
life have Ihcreased In proportion. Economy
Is still the watchword of the Institution
and as practiced by our matron can almoBt
be considered a fine art.
Discouragement met us. as usual, at th
very threshold of the year; our funds wtiTo
low. As cards parties seem to afford the
greatest pleasure to the public, with the
least exhaustion to the promoters, we ac
cepted Mrs. Lemlst's offer to manage one
for us. We all sold tickets. Mrs. Lemist
not only did heroic work herself, but Inter
ested Mrs. Warren Rogers, who gave us
most substantial aid. We gratefully ac
cepted the free use of Mr. Chambers' hall
for February 13 and our receipts were
about $i. At our May meeting our treas
urer reported $SS0" collected. 'Hie call for
nightgowns and waists for the children
brounht generous responses from all the
members. At the June meeting Mr. Turner
waa recommended to rebuild the piazza.
We accepted his plans and terms. When
finished this proved of great value to the
little ones; they can now enjoy the sun
shine. We hoped to got the use of the
old playground for the summer, but failed.
. The extension of our lease from the city
was frequently before the board. The
matter was finally put Into the hands of
Mrs. Cudahy for adjustment. She reported
later that we were advised by members
of the city council that as our lease was
good for several years to let the matter
rest until a time when they could help us
to better advantage. This waa satisfac
tory. Our annual bridge party next claimed
our attention. The charming Country club
was put at our disposal for the 13th of
June. Where ao many labored , to make
this party memorable for beauty and ele
gance It ia perhaps unwise to try to men
tion individuals. Flowers were fairly
showered upon us; they filled evey nook
and corner. Our need of chairs and tables
waa no sooner known than they were sup
plied. Our refreshments were served by
willing hands. Suffice it to say the affair
was as enjoyable as a glorious day and
lovely assembly of women could make it.
All faces wreathed In smiles told of deep
admiration for the Creche or was it for
that fine collection of prizes? The receipts
paid for our new piazza.
The fall collections have gono on In spite
of "hard times" and the success of several
of our members la unprecedented. We are
constantly seeking to sdd to our board
workers who can collect their quota,
thereby lightening the labor of all.
We remember with pleasure the picnic
given for the children and thnlr care
lakers by our treasurer, Mrs. Brandels, at
her country place near Florence. Mrs.
Brandeia' automobile, though making sev
eral trips, was unaoie to carry them all.
Mr. T. R. Kimball and Mrs. T. L. Kimball
giadly loaned their autoa and from the
time the happy little dears left their home
until, weary, they returned to Its sheltering
arms their pleasure was unalloyed. Few
of us understand ao well as Mrs. Brandeia
the secret of making restless childhood
nappy tnrouguout a long summer s dav.

Mayor Jim Dahlman is editor of the cur
rent issue of Laurie J. Qulnby's magazine,
the Chancellor. In his salutatory the
mayor says:
The editor of the Chancellor, Laurie J.
Qulnljy, made a bluff at me to edit this
edition. I Btudled awhile, knowing that 1
had as much business to tackle hia game as
some people will have t).hg to land in
heaven. But I hud never played at this,
fo I called him. All 1 ask la that you
read a little of it before you throw It into
the furnace. I will promiue I will never
try again. You can see Qulnby Is to bl.imo
for the whole thing. The next edition, I
hope, he will get out himself, because I am
convinced that Judge Sutton and myself
are both failures as editors. 1 guess we
are all right to run for office.
Mayor Jim has no need to apologize for
the contents ot his number, for. If the
edition does not mark a literary epoch. It

DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MEETING
Slna; Pralsea ot Their Alma Mater
and Booat for Ita Fotnre
Welfare.
Come fellows, let us sing a song.
And sing It loud and clear;
Our Alma Mater is the theme.
Old Dartmouth, loved and dear.
Wah who wah!
Wall who wah!
Dar-da-da Dartmouth!
Wah who wah!
The Dartmouth Alumni Association of the
Plain held Its annual reunion and banquet
at the Henshaw Saturday and a right royal
good time was had revelling In reminiscence
of college days of the old and new time.
Though not as many as usual were present,
Dartmouth enthusiasm made up for lack of
numbers. After the banquet President A.
K. Dame of Fremont opened with a clever
introduction, and the speechmaking which
followed displayed much eloquence of tho
sort which college men enjoy.
Among the many good speeches it Is
difficult to single out a few, but N. P.
Dodge, Jr., Harvard '95, gave an excellent
talk In which he spoke of the good feeling
existing between his own alma mater and
the sons of the "Green and White." He
also urged the college men to use their In
fluence to send others to college and spoke
of the Influence of popular magazines, etc.,
In moulding public opinion and show further
that college men ought to have and prob
ably would make more potent Impression in
the future than they had In the past.
Allusion was made to the coming of the
Dartmouth Dramatic club early in March.
This promises to be quite a society event
and already much interest is being taken In
it by those prominent socially. The play
probably will be glien at Boyd's, and though
only a one night performance ia planned at
present, It ia probable that a matinee will
have to be given to accommodate all who
will want to attend.
The dinner wound up with a business meet
ing at which Nathan Merrlam waa chosen
president, S. II. liurham of Lincoln, vice
president, and Dr. C. W. Pollard, secretary.
Among these present were: Dr. S. R.
Towne. Jlarry Kelly, N. Loch of Columbus,
A. K. Dame of Fremont, Rev. W. K. Adams,
N. Merrlam. Henry Plerpont, Nathan
Bernstein, N. P. Dodge, Jr., Dr. C. W.
Pollard.

If anything were wanting to fully sup
pcrt the assertion that stock company act
ing Is popular In Omaha, the tl-.rong that
assembled at the Burwood last nUlil
to witness the opening performance
by the new company surpMcd tile
verification. Many were turned away be
fore the curtain went up. and every scat
in tl.e house was filled when the first act
began. Many of the former 'regulars"
were In their old sats, and It lmrdly
seemed nine months since the curtain had
gone up- to disclose the members of a
popular stock company, ciiRagcd In the
presentation of a clean American piny. It
may be that some memories of former
companies were aroused, but tho greeting
given the newcomers was cordial enough
and the efforts of the company to please
were soon rewarded by the establishment
of that sympathy between player and
auditor that Is so necessary to success.
"Young Mrs. Wlnthrop" Is one of Bron
son Howard's best comedies. It tells tho
story of a husband and wife- who drifted
'apart, and reached a point where separa
tion seemed certain, but who came to see
things In their true light, and through the
effect of a great sorrow were again brought
together. Around this couple are grouped
several people, all more or less pleasant In
their way. and each essential to the telling
of the tale. Mr. Howard lacked nothing
of skill In stagecraft, and his plays are
all well put tngether. Stage Director Bacon
has provided the piece with an appropriate
setting, and has well cast and rehearsed
his companv, hastily assembled, for the
first performance. As a result the opening
play was given without a hitch or slip.
Miss Emllle Lesslng, the leading woman,
has a pleasing voice, attractive presence
and graceful carriage. She Is experienced
In stock work, and shows by her actions
her familiarity with tho art of expression,
especially the strong emotional passages.
The other women of tho company are well
chosen for their work. Miss Jeffrey Is a
perfect foil for Miss Lesslng, and Miss
Emmons Is good in the Ale of the elder
Mr. Wlnthrop, while Miss De Trace la a
charming Ingenue.
