"New York," he writes, 'has giver® more encouragement to ceberets and qnusical comedies than to those pro- ductions to which even its own eritics have accorded the highest praise." What is more--there have been ap- peals to the public censor in order that vicious plays may be suppressed. Popular opinion has been strongly evoked or exercised in behali of ques- tionable performances. New York, says Mr. Benson, has become "a show town." And mot a cultured city in which there is a very decided demand for Shakespearean productions.

ES - 'SOME NOTABLE EXPERIMENTS. _ Joseph Rowntree has established in Kagland, at New FEarswick, on the re Ross, a model village, and it hould be suggestive of a model life. | Many have been the social experi: u the process of time the pro of them were disappointed. ! of palace car frme, was \ plicated in England. The Earswick village school, "we are told," reprisents the last word in educational machinery, and is one of the best equipped and most attractive public elementary schpols in England. With accommodation for 352 children, thi Building vas designed to provide an open-air school without duplicat- ing the class-rooms by verandahs. 'Fhis end has been secured by an in- genious construction of large windows, which in less than a minute can be completely folded back against the wall and the room exposed to the air. The children have got so used to work- ing under these conditions that during last winter the windows were rarely closed. Each child has fiftden square feet of floor area, compared with the ten square feet required by the Board of Education. ; : How gratifying it is that the selfish- ness which so generally prevails does not possess every one, and that. a Rowntree can be found who will give up of his means and time to experi- ments. of a high-minded and useful character. Perhaps he will be more successful than some others who have beén similarly moved. 1i not, he will have the consciousness of knowing that he made a noble efiort in a wor: thy cause. Land issue of Britain in a nutshell. The liberal plan--to regalate the land transactions so as to protect the ten- ants and restrain the landlords. The tory plan--to suggest that the ten- ants buy the ls=d, but under such con- ditions as must place them in the con- trol of the landlords. A TALK ABOUT QUEEN'S. The rushes are over--the college rushes which are antifipated with so much anxiety. The young man who begins his college career realizes quite enrly that there is something afoot which convemns him. It is his im- itiation into the mysteries of stu- dent society. His first impulse is to scent danger and to flee from it. His second is to meet the conilngencies of the hbur stolodlly and hergically, to accept whatever comes his 'way as an inevitable experience; and to begln at once his plans for an early adjust ment of the account. The public exhibition of the fresh. men, fully subdued, and decorated with all the colours that an inapt or inexperienced artist may supply, seems like an unnecessary humiliation. It is, however, quickly forgotten, and many a youth in after ydars discourses up: on it. iid "Silly," some one suggests. Yes, the rush is not intended #0 be serious or solemn. "Undignified,'"" adds an- other. Perhaps," but the larks, the episodes, the diversions of the aver- age student are mot meant to be im- pressive. "Educational ?"' = To some extent. It marks the crudemess of that social scale which typifies the beginning of a certain period com- pared with the culture of its days.- After all the Jue of the Queen's men is a mild affair, and no one is hurt. The "freshies" are made to understand that they are the inferiors of those who have gone efore, and with the initiation lesson over they are bound to lw good. The pity is that, though the students are hurried to the city in order to register within a cariain time, they are redlly unable to do anything for half a wionth, and even then the work of the wession has hardly begum. . Theré is unother feature of college life that needs attention. Some of the students want to!specialize. Some of them are graduates apd desire to' take the classes that will help them in their professions. And there is no one in the college to advise them. One of Columbia's professors passed through the city recently on his way to Yew York. He said he was due to line up with the other professors at a certain date, and to remain on duty for several days for the guidance of incoming students.

Meanwhile the woods will echo the shouts of the victors. The Montreal Gazette attributes de fent in the Chateauguay election to the liberals' tactics in the last session of parliament. Nonsense. 'There was #8 much connection between what was done in parliament last year and what was done in Chateauguay. last Saturday as there is generally between Hon. Bob Rogers and the angelic hosts... +=» Pegoud, 'the, airman, and a man of rare narve and conduct, is said to have attempted the most difficult feats with the biplane in order to dem- onatnate what could be done in emes- gencies.

As expected, the money of the gov- eroment, collected from the usual sources and in abundance, was lavish- ly spent in Chateauguay. It was even forced: in handfulls on many who did not want it, who have not been accus- tomed to sell their votes, and has been collected, with affidavits as to the manner in which it was institut- ed, for use in an election trial. F The whole of $50,000 is said to have been made out of land sold some years ago to a syndicate of which liberal officials were members. It is possible. But the item is small com pared with the $100,000 odd 'which ond man, a friend of the conservative min- ister of the interior, made out of one piece of land which he got at a bar- gain in Prince Albert. The special commission will tell all about it. [PUBLIC OPINION Rare Experience. Hamilton Herald.
