But the boys are not receiving the ex- clusive attention -of the psychologists. As these words are being read, right.here in our town city, at the same time the boys' convention:is being held in Hart- ford, the older girls are holding a simi- lar conference. Even more of the really rich things of life have come to the older girls than to the older boys in the more recent years. = Fifty years, outside the city, it wds almost an unheard of thing tq send a girl to college. Why waste so much money on a girl? Even to give her a secondary education made her conscipu- ous. Mary Lyon, that splendid pioneer in the higher education, was looked upon in many quarters-as a fanatic. But today not only Mt Holyoke but Smith, Wellés- ley and all other fomiale colleges are a monument to her enlightened foresight and sagacity. Not alone are intellectual doors swinging wide open hefore her but <neans of physical betterment as seen in and last of all the polls. We must find a substitute for that old falsehood, “the weaker vessel The age in which we live is destructive as well as constructive, and while the former may not be such a pleasant task as the Iatter it is no less important. It is probably a far cry fromolder girls’ conferences and education to rats; pos- sibly jumping from the siblime to the ridiculous with little logical connection. However, even older girls are sometimes brought into juxtoposition with rats but usually not in harmonious relations. To educate a girl is construction; to kil a rat is destruction, and our wide awake reformers are insisting that we shall do both. There are_some men and women who ought to go {o heaven for the lives they have saved, and others for the things they have killed. Those who de- stroyed slavery and constructed the four- teenth amendment to the Constitution' are entitled to tlie supreme reward. More re- centl who knocked rum ‘ in _the head ought to have a place beside them. And now reformers are calling for a twen- tieth amendment that will settle for all time rat businéss. ‘When the call to arms shall come, nobody will have occa- sion to say that the writer of these lines was a_cowardly slacker.

The Riga peace Is an act pregnant with the possibility of fu- ture conflicts between Russia and Pml.nt\ and is, therefore, & menace, to Burope and to the entire world, wrltes A. J. Sack, di- rector of the Russian information bureau in the United States. In discussing the Russian-Polish rela- tions and the Riga conference, I wrote on-| October 2nd, tep days. before the arrange- ment between the bolsheviki - and the Poles was reached: “The main feature of the conference in Riga, the feature that may have import ant historfeal consequences, is that Rus- sia is not represented at this conference, in spite of the fact that its task is to settle the problem of Russian-Polish re- lations. “While Poland is represented by dele- gates of her constitutional - government, chosen and recognized = by - her people, Russia is represented at this conference by the bolsheviki, whose rule was never recognized by the Russian people. Since the very moment of the bolsheviki com- ing into power, and up till now, we wit- ness in Russia series of national move- ments. which will continue until the bol- the peacs arran t betweén the Boi- sheviki dhd the Poles, concluded on tober 12th.

It is clear that the Rusian people will never recognise this peace arrangement. The Polish statesmen have made a grave mistake in imposing ugon Russia, through the temporary x of her povern- ment, & peace that contradicts both Rus- sia’s dignity and her vital interests. The victory, on the basis of which Poland was able to dictate her demands to sheviki'at Riga, was made pospible through energetic aperations of ern anti-bolshevist army led eral Wrangel, on the one hand. and,. the other, through the'aetivity of the Rus- sian army, organized by Boris Savinkov, the army which fought the bolsheviki en the Polish front.

The- bolsheviki, alarmed by their defeat and by the continuing Polish offénsive, are ready to malke Rigd a second Brest-Li- tovek. They are réady to concede to Poland a borderline very tiuch more fav- orable to Poland than the borderline fixed by the peace conference. - They ave ready, ameong other things, to recognize, in the |name of Russia, the independence of Ukrane, thus meeting one of the main demands of the Polish imperialists, of those cireles of the Polish political opin- jon that not long ago influenced the Pol- ish government to conclude the well- known agreement with the so-called Gen- eral Petlura. “We consider it our duty to state plainly that, in_our opinion, the agree- ment that may be concluded at the Riga conference will prove fatal if the Poles have not learned sufficiently from the reecent lesson when, as a result of thefr imperialistic policy, the red army was anding before Warsaw. If Poland will not repudiate this poliey, and in. addition will not repudiate the policy aimving at dismemberment of Russia—the tendency to create ‘an independent Ukraine,’ etc.— no matter how far the bolsheviki will go in acknowledzinz their demands. a new sheviki and not agginst Russia.
