W' can happen to an organization given over to the tender | mercy of a certain type of efficiency expert is set forth by Prof. H. C.

For more than a year the efficiency sharps have been at work on the Wisconsin institution, questioning atudenta as to the inoapectty | of their teachers, encouraging professors to criticise their colleagues, | Probing, cutting, diemembering—with what resulta? | If we may believe Dr. Bumpus: | ‘Tired of turmoil, come of the faculty ate escking employ- ment elsewhere; the overthrow of the entire administration fe threatened; the Legislature is hostile and plens to out the appropriations; new construction has ceased end we witness the sad eight of an institution made desolate by an unneces sary and inexcusable reality that under the name of “construe | tional work” has wrought destruction, and under the name of “eMficiency” has wrought havoc, Real efficiency, we note, has another method of procedure— quite different. Take the Grand Central Terminal, with its vast and intricate improvements. Its maze of tracks was rearranged and enlarged, new levels added, an enormous station evolved from a comparatively emall one. Yet all the while thousands of commuters were taking their regular trains each day, tens of thousands of travellers arriving and departing as usual. Go down any day just now to lower Third Avenue. Yon will see the old steel elevated structure sprouting new girders and tracks while you wait. A new section for expreas trains, with new platforms and new stations, is being rushed to completion. Yet meanwhile from the old stations hundreds of people take trains every minute er two as usual. Who says efficiency cannot build without dterupting? nansuetGuemmashabammetmiiaaa BACKYARD GARDENS. F EVERY backyard in every large city in the country could be made to produce fruit and garden vegetables for the home, the cost of living would receive the moat depressing shovk of all its ruthless career. For the National Bureau of Education the idea is not a dream. The Burean believes that school children backed by competent teach- ere of gardening employed by the public schools can make the home garden an immensely important factor in domestic economy. “Bxperiments already made by the Bureau of Education,” | declares Commissioner Claxton, “show that with proper direo- tion ap average chiki between the ages of six and twenty can produce on an eighth of an acre from $60 to $100 worth of vegetables. A third of the children in the city suhools might easily produce $300,000,000 worth a year.” An agent of the Bureau has returned from a tour of the South, West and East. Out of thirty-two cities visited, fourteen have adopted the home garden along lines suggested by the Bureau of Education. Nine others are planning home gardens under the direc tion of women’s clubs and playground associations, The idea thus makes a substantial start this year, Why shouldn’t it find its way to the outlying districts of this city to cheapen the cost of living and relieve the grime and dreariness of backyard areas ? “God firet planted w garden,” seyx Racon, “and indeed it is the purest of all human pleasures.” Hits From Sharp Wits You can never tell how successful fate sort of day, why, that's a eign : @ man has been by the advice that be a good deal of seif-cont gives. | Telegraph. id ° When ‘a man protests loudly that| Lote of strange things are done in he wants justice, he usually wants | the name of preced The Day DAN J 1 << \ By Roy L.

VERY day the Magistrates’ courte report the cases of women E who are molested by mashers. More of these cases ought to come to court. If every woman would appeal to a policeman the minute e man showed signs of intruding himself upon her, these public nuissmeus would soon be diminished in no small degree. The great trouble with the average woman is that she fears the publicity attached @ such a course. This is false modesty. Every woman should realize that when she seeks such | guardianship that she is doing it not only to defend herself but her sex, In fact, it is a civic duty, ‘There could be no possible otigme attached to such an action on the part of a woman, even if her name should by chance get into print on account of it. On the o the general feeling is WI'TH the women who invokes the law in. gudh @ case. { Many a woman, who must ride to and from business or otherwise travel alone, daily sufers the advances of these flirtatious fellows and remains silent, getting away from them as quickly as posite, ) They then make similar advances to others and go on without | punishment.
