DEATH ENDS KED TAPE.
A man who bocamo so sadly tangled
in federal rod tapo that there was, for
two years, no land where he could
abide, tas reached the end of his
wanderings.
Nathan Cohen, after business and
domestic misfortunes, suffered a
mental breakdown, and tho United
States immigiation authorities com
pelled a steamship company to re
turn him to Braz.il, whore he had re
aided before coming to this country.
Brazil would not permit him to go
ashore and o a stonmer cabin be
came his home. Charitable organiza
tions intert'stod thomsclvos and ho
was placed in a sanitarium pending
tho close of war, when an effort
would have been made to dppon-t him
to RuH.tia, the place of his birth.
Not only was Cohen in the grip
of circumstance 'which he could
not influence, but tho officials who
ordtred the strange- life he was fated
to livo for two yours Imd no mure
power over his destiny, Fi'id miles
and regulations took their course with
him.
Prolialily he did not suffer exces
sively and a continuous ocean voyage
is not a hardship for a mental Invalid.
When he at last escaped from the
weary complications It rwaa through
tho offices of that kindly liberator,
death,
Man struggles to control the forces
affecting his personal course; most
seem freer than Nathan Cohen, but
for all existence (remains a pressing
problem until it is solved in tho same
manner his was.
THE SENSES.
Tt is a vary sago criticism which
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president
of Kn-rord University, passes upon
modern educational systems when he
says, in a pamphlet, that cultivation
of the perceptive- powers of children
is neglected, the senses permitted to
go untrained, while an attempt is
made to upholster the kind.with super
ficial culture. We hnve been taught
to know rather than to do; to make
use of the observations of othars
rather than to see for ourselves.
Whether a child is to be a painter
or a lath operator, he needs training
in the effective contact betweon him
self and the world of outwai-d things,
which is mads possible only by skill
of eye and hand.
Dr. Eliot, intimates that every
school should be a laboratory, a plr.ee
of doing experimentation, research.
The primary education of animals is
accomplished through tho play in
H"nct. A kitten learns to catch mice
b;' pursuing a pool; a boy learns to
make a living and to enjoy the riches
of the 'universe by memorizing
algebraic formulas. .. Dr. Eliot, and
other wise in human nature, plead
for a return to the fundamentals, plus
the profits and benefits of science.
MUST AGREE OR STAY OUT
The New Youk legislature is con
sidering a measure to end the strug
gle, now become, monotonous, between
theatre ownots and critics who write
nnfaiora-ble reviews. Certain of
theso gentlemen have been refused
admittance to piny houses whose of
ferings they have condemned.
The touchiness of the managers is
understandable, however puerile their
preventive m ensures may seem. They
object to exposing their plays to the
Masts or sophisticated loumalula
whose utterances will warn the public
to keep off.
This touchiness is shared i.iy most
members of tho human family. We
do not welcome our nritic
place wherein our real selves are ex- -
m.oaed. We are cordial to tho flat
terer when he aDnears at t.Vin Tmr
fice, and hand him a perpetual pass
to our friendship, but the one who, by
spoKen word or manner, manifests
disapproval of our performance, we
frown upon.
If . tho improvement of the stage
were desired by these sensitive man
agers, they would throw open their
doors to all kinds of comment. The-
man Who actunllv Would ltTimir Kim..
self and combat his faults will hear,
with gratitude if not with cheerful
ness, exposure of his failures in nnv
terns, from anyone.
