EHIND the Haskell candidacy, which has been thrust now definitely into the campaign for the Mayoralty, there is the urge of an imtemperat+ desire for notoriety. Haskell does not belong. The question of “wet” Or “dry” does not belong. here is one issue in New York's local campaign. It is the issue of Hylanism versus a return to good Gily governmeni. Mr. Curran and his associates on the Fusion ticket represent amply the desires and the faith of those who seek sincerely New York's municipal re- demption. In the ince of the facts and the conditions the Haskell move should not be worth the powder to thow the judge's hat out of the ring. z THE GREAT DIVIDE. BIT of real Prohibition nmnor with sometning A more ihan a half of 4 per cent. kick comes in a report from a village in the Pittsburgh neigh- borhood. , The Lav and Order Committee of the churches ia the village, in attempting to regulate Sunday sing blue-law style, resolved that it should be legal to sell sodas and ice cream, but not cigars or Clearettes. 2 Later this resolution was amended to allow the storekeeper to seli one cigar—bul not more than qne—to a customer. “If any prohibitory vagary could be more amusing, we would like to hear of it. Certainly no one with a. sense of humor ‘vould attempt to separate the sheep from the goats with a single cigar. But then, any one with a sense of humor would not try to regulate morals by law and resotution. THE AGE LIMIT IN THE RING. CURIOUS addition to the documents in the case of Age versus the Man, always a case in dispute, is furnished in the decision of the State Rthletic Commission to grant no license to boxers | Of over thirty-eight years. No less an authority than William Muldoon is Benind this decision. # Mr. Mulioon has trained men of sixty and over for the compsiition of the daily job.

If in Syracuse, then also in New York City. Corporation*Counsel O'Brien is probably correct in saying: “The residents of New York City will be called on to carry the bag for the citizens of Arcade, Painted Post, Cortland and Seneca Falls.” But anyhow it is comimendable that the New York member of the telephone family, whether big or little, always thinks of the parent and wants to be able to give her all the comforts of a secure and well ordered existence—no matter how large the family. NATIONALITY PRESERVED? HIS is a day of menace to this Nation. Take that from Republican spellbinders of 1920. To-day the “preserved nationality” of, the United States is in danger of spoiling in the jar, “What have we to do with abroad?” asked the foes of the League of Nations, including George Harvey. To-day the same George Harvey is meei- ing with “abroad” as a sort of “super-observer.” We have something to do with Europe, and all the “little Americanism” of the stump cannot prevent. True, it is the Supreme Council and not the League of Nations which is meeting. But the fact that it is the Council and not the League is un- doubtedly due to the failure of the United States to follow through and join up. The Council will consider the same sort of ques- tions which the League would have consideréd had the United States become a mémber. The decision to leave the Silesiar boundary question to the Su- preme Council instead of the League was not taken until after it was seen that the United States would not join the League at the moment. The United States cannot get along in splendid isolation any more than Europe can settle its oon- tinental disputes without our intervention. The Silesian boundary is only in degree less important to the United States than the Mexican and Canadian boundaries. President Harding may continue to stress the importance of preserving nationality if he wishes. But it doesn’t mean anything one way or the other. Of course our nationality will be preserved, as will the nationafities of the members of the League. But we have sométhing to do with “4broad,” Some sort of league or association is inevitable. The difference between,George Harvey as an “observing” member of the Supreme Council and George Harvey as representative in the League is that in the League he would have had power of absolute veto on any proposal the United States could not approve. In the Supreme Council his powers are indefinite. But the United States is “involved.” George Harvey is involved. Our “nationality” is in danger to-day if it was a year ago when League mem- bersitip was in prospect. Our “nationality” is in danger to the same degree that it was then—which is precisely no danger at all. “PITCHING OUT.” T is a matter of national concern that Babe Ruth in the ast week fell behind his 1920 record of home-run busting: This year the national game is divided into two pennant races and Babe Ruth’s contest with himself. There is hope for the Ruth fans, because August, 1920, was a slunp time for the slugger. Last year there were frequent suggestions that the game wouid be bettered and made more intzrest- ing for the fans if the pitchers were penalized with a heavier penalfy for deliberate “pitching out.” The batiing statistics show how much Ruth has suffered from this practice. He has played in ninety- five games and is credited with having been ‘‘at bat” oniy 332 times. Pipp has also played in ninety-five games and, in spite of his lower position on the haiting list, has been “at bat? 370 times. Meuse! in ninety-two games has been “at bat” 373 times. | Ruth is not a sacrifice hitter. ° The statistics back up the common knowledge that pitchers “pitch out” and “pass’’ the batter when the batter happens to be Ruth. Heavier penalization of “pitching out” would favor Ruth, but it would make the game more interesting for every teain. No fan likes to see batters “walk” because they are too good to have a chance Nev York infant io the Public Service Commission, the child’s nursing staff never seem to have the sams | TWICE OVERS. idee twice CUP HE men (of the United States) are charming, « At one time the lawyer nurses of tine local com- | but it's just because they are so charming (pany picture it as the child whose allowance from a | that the women aren't so nice.” — Princess Antoine rich estate must be increased in dive in the style to which its order to allow it to mother has accus- tomed it.

Teachers College is a part of Co- lumbla University, but like Barnard and the College of Physicians and Surgeons, it was originally an inde- pendent institution. In many ways it is still independent. It has its own buildings and endowment funds, and lis under the government of its own Board of Trustees. But its diploms ‘is that of Columbia University, its professors are members of the uni- versity faculty, and President Butler ‘of Columbia is also President of ‘Teachers College. ‘The college was founded in 1888 as normal school, and existed sepa- rately for ten years before it became a part of Columbia, It early took a leading place among the teacher- \vaining schools of the country, and {in recent years has attracted studenis from many parts of the world. Teach- jers College embraces a school of education and a school of practical |arts. Its equipment includes, in addi- |tion to the usual lecture halls and extensive labora- |tories and work rooms and a lange pedagogical library, | Significant features of its equip- ment are its experimental schools—the Horace Mann schools, including a Kindergarten and an elementary | school for boys and girls, and a high | school for girls; the Horace Mann | School for Boys; the Speyer School, an academic junior high school estab- lished in connection with Public School No, 43; and the Lincoln School, re- cently organized in co-operation with the General Education Hoard. In the Lincoln Schoo! classes are limited te | twenty pupils, and an interesting ex- periment is being made in linking up. {school work directly to home and [community interests. ) The Horace Mann School House ad- ‘joins the Teachers College buildings. Tt was erected in 1901, the gift of V. Everitt Macy, a trustee of Teachers College, and Mrs. Macy. It is one of the most completely equipped school buildings in the country, a model of jits kind. The Horace Mann Schoat for Boys is situated at 246th Strect, near Van Cortlandt Park, and is operated as a country day school. The Speyer School is in a building on nearby Lawrence Street near Amster- dam Avenue; it is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. James Speyer. The Lincoln School occupies a building at No. 646 Park Avenue with an annex on East 64th Street. These four schools have accommodations for more than 2,000 ‘ pupils. | There are five buildings ‘in the |Teachers College group—the Main Building, Milbank Hall, Macy Manual Arts Building, Frederick Ferris Thompson Memorial Building and the Grace Dodge Building. These are connected by corridors so that they make what is practically one great building, running along 120th Street, facing the Columbia campus. In ad- dition Columbia has turned over | Whittier Hall as a dormitory for the women gtudents of Teachers College, and the ‘college itself has recently ac- quired Bancroft Hall and Seth Low Hall for residential purposes, ‘The administrative head of Teach- ers College is the Dean, Dr. James Farl Russell, who is also professor of education. ‘The faculty includes mor than eighty professors, and in addition many of the professors and instructors in other schools of Co- |!umbia give courses there. Men and women are admitted to Teachers Col- {lege on equal terms. | WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WORD? 61—WELKIN, | Did you ever hear the “walkin \ting”?
