STUART PATON, of Princeton University, hes told the Tilinois Society of Mental Hygiene: “Everybody is afflicted with incipient insanity; that any ope may become insane because we are all more or less crazy.” The pertinence of this statement is not to be avoided by any deduction that if all men are more or less crazy, then Dr. Paton himself wae half crasy when he said it. His argument is that we tend to insanity with every loss of temper, but become sane again when we return to mental calmness and temperamental repose. He, of course, supposes he was enjoying thet wisdom born of peace when he propounded his dogma of general craziness, and therefore claims exemption from suspicion. ; Such reasoning lsys a flattering unction upon many « eore place in New York’s self-esteem. We are the calmest people on carth that live in a city. We have tempers that neither trouble, deception, dis- comfort, false promises, nor long weiting, nor hope postponed, has ever fretted into anger. With what patience and peace do we await the abatement of manifold abuses and abominations. At this vory time no less than seventeen investigating committeee—Federal, State and municipal—are revealing new forms of scandal and wrong. Yet we lose no temper. Dr. Paton says it is because we are sane. An- ether philosophy might teech that it is because we are mad. OE BROOKLYN WEATHER AND HOSPITALS. T" REPORT to the Department of Health that nearly every hospital in Brooklyn is overcrowded, and that in some in- stances patients have been forced to sleep on the floor, is a sad sort of sequel to follow recent reports on the diminished death rate and the decrease in nearly all kinds of disease. That the com- munity as « whole is much healthier than ever is a good thing in iteelf, but is no eufficient reason why it should be less careful of those that have the misfortune to be sick. The report is the more depressing because it is of Brooklyn the tale is told. That borough has long made a specialty of being better than other communities. Ita chrrches, clubs and papers have been ever earnest and eloquent in telling how love should be shown to every suffering creature. It is urged by those having authority thet blame for the evil rests not on Brooklyn but on the weather. The winter has been too mild, they say, and cases of pneumonia have become abnormally frequent. The facts explain, but do not excuse. Brooklyn is not responsible for her climate, but she is for her hospitals. a A WOMAN'S PLAN FOR POLICE REFORM. NEW PLAN and policy for police reform have been pre- sented to the Woman’s City Club of Chicago, and as the subject is one in which we are interested we may as well give heed to it. It has the merit of suggesting a change in the atti- tude of society to the police rather than in that of the police to society. The projector says: “We never speak to the police except to complain, we never invite them socially to our homes, we force them to associate mainly with people whom they wish to forget. We do not treat them well enough f.r the standards we demand of them.” ° The principle is not new, but in its new application promises new | results. Why should it be only our troubles we tell to the police’ Why not be sociable with them? Why not relieve them from the burden of associating with people they long to forget? Why not uplift them socially to the standards we demand of them profes- sionally? | These are questions to which the Women’s City Club has ad- | dressed itself. They forecast what is likely to happen when the club | gives a reception and invites the force to join the dance and forget | whom they wish. But whom will they forget? ne THE POSTPONED TERCENTENARY. HE DECISION of the Tercentenary Committee to fix the I celebration for 1914 instead of holding it this year is not eurprising. It follows the good old rule “When in doubt, don’t.” It is not certain that Dutch seamen laid here the founda- tions of # permanent settlement in 1613, but it is certain that in the following year a temporary charter was granted for @ trading post and that out of it grew the later charter for New Amsterdam. Moreover, by postponing the celebration for a year we may attain some things that will enable us to give our visitors and gueste a more hospitable welcome and a more generous treatment. We mey by that time get the subway vexation, if not off our hands, at least off our minds. We may aleo have a taxicab service that will seem more like a real service and less like a holdup. We may have a short season, at least, when some of our main thoroughfares will not be torn and disfigured. We may even have them clean, as the Dutch keep theirs. Finally, there is another reason for postponement: It is our way and habit. We postpone all things, some for a day, some for so long a time we forget when we started them, and others until we forgot what we started them for.
