This college, richly endowed as it is, has not yet, however, succeeded to any considerable extent in environing its children-fatherless children, withdrawn for a long period from their homes, with the potent influences to be found usually at the natural fireside of the family. Perhaps such home influences, when at all the right sort, are more important than the conscious ethical and religious instruction given directly in the class or section room. It is naturally asked how far can the atmosphere of the home be reproduced in an institution in which the main features of the home are necessarily absent? The Board of Directors of City Trusts, with the ample endowment of the college, will, it is believed, provide as far as money can an organization based upon the principles of the home, in which the boys will feel constantly and unconsciously the influence of the intelligent and virtuous men and women placed over them, and using their influence in a natural environment at once healthy and beautiful. MR. RUDYARD KIPLING has had the happy luck to be born in the nick of time. In the later years of Tennyson the greatness of the colonial dependencies of Great Britain suddenly became a conscious factor in the minds of Englishmen, and the late laureate was the first to reflect the new consciousness of, to quote his lines: "Our ocean-empire with her boun less homes Tennyson's mantle in this one regard fell upon the sturdy shoulders of a man who, born in a city of the Greater Britain, could well speak forth its claims and its ideals. Tennyson recognized the kindred spirit of the younger poet by congratulating Mr. Kipling on his English Flag', while Mr. Kipling's reply is equally characteristic: "When the private in the ranks is praised by the general, he cannot presume to thank him, but he fights better the next day." The leading idea of Mr. Kipling's imperialism is decentralization. London no longer obscures Calcutta. Sydney, Quebec. His poetry greets the cities of the empire from Bombav to Auckland as a girdle of sister pearls encircling the world. He has sung the song of the native-born, and restated, beyond denial, the dignity of the imperial status of the men of protected republics like Australia and Canada, whose pride was sore at being called colonial. Hence his verse has crystallized opinion, given definiteness to political aspirations, made the common sympathies of all parts of the British empire intelligible. He has done this, too, without weakening the sentiment of blood and lessening the inheritance of tradition that bind that empire to "home" and Queen. Mr. Kipling is the Tyrtaeus of the British army and navy as it now is, under the most modern ideas and methods of warfare, and his poetry has as a powerful and distinct element the rough personal devotion of the British private soldier to the "Widow at Windsor", as the symbol of his country. Queen Victoria may have named Mr. Austin poet-laureate of England, but the British race throughout the world has crowned another as the laureate of the Greater Britain. Mr. Kipling's verse pointed the eloquence of the orators of the recent Jubilee that marked the national expansion; it rang through the Canadian parliament in the debate on the proBritish preferential tariff; it is everywhere awakening and binding together the men of "little England" and the men of colonial republics like Canada and Australia into a higher unity of race and destiny. Mr. Kipling has thus become a great political factor in the unification of the British race. THE discussion of the currency question at the Bourse in this city on February 25, was important for several reasons. The speakers represented different points of view. AssistantSecretary Vanderlip of the Treasury Department spoke with authority concerning the evils of the present Monetary System and the perils to which it is exposed. Mr. C. Stuart Patterson, member of the Monetary Commission of the Indianapolis Convention, clearly stated the reasons underlying the plan which that body has formulated. Professor Joseph French Johnson subjected the plans both of Secretary Gage and of the Monetary Commission to thorough analysis and criticism. Professor Johnson's objections to the plan of the Monetary Commission were that it would not accomplish the purposes for which it was designed, for it would not enlarge the gold base of our currency nor introduce the desired element of elasticity, and that it would involve a radical departure from our present system of banking, which business men would not have confidence in, since they would not thoroughly understand it. Secretary Gage's plan seemed to him better as a practical measure, because it proposes a few simple amendments to the present system. He thought that the Secretary's plan needs amendment. In order to render inflation impossible it is desirable that a definite maximum limit be placed upon the issue of bank notes permitted under the plan; and the repressive tax of 2 per cent. on the emergency circulation should be raised to 4 or 5 per cent., lest the banks should issue this circulation even in ordinary times. Mr. Vanderlin's address was a plea for unitv among the friends of sound money. The cause of sound money, he said, faces a party abso |
