MASS., Dee. 15 Dr Charles \\ Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, holds that unless a remedy is found speedily for the evils of thej factory system a terrible phys: -il and moral degen eracy will result. “We have come through the period of immigration pretty safe. ’ said he “The American republic has the pe culiar function of lifting up the peo ple of the Old World. "But city life and the factory sys tem. which keeps the Immigrant boy and girl and man in the cities, is do ing untold harm lo the newcomers physically and morally. The factory system is one of the greatest curses of civilization in this respect. The mill industries and city life combine to promote, propagate and preserve con ditions that unfavorably affect the vitality of our modern population. "If men of public spirit, of fore- gilt and intelligence do not find the remedy, I foresee a terrible physical and moral degeneracy, already visi ble within the next hundred years, similar to that, existing in the Eng lish factory centers to-day. We must struggle against it. "The family life and family dis cipline have greatly changed. When I was a boy I went to the Boston Eat in School to prepare for Harvard, as did many other boys of my time who intended to go to college. To day the children of the rich do not. attend the public schools. They ary educated in boarding and private schools.” Mrs, F, J, Shepherd Bars Out Hunters New Yale Laboratory Gift of Mrs. Osborn NEW HAVEN, Dec. 16 The donor of Yale’s new half-milllon-dollar zo ological and botanlcai laboratory on the Hlllhouse estate 1s announced as the late Mrs. Miriam A.

For my husband’s Christ mas present I am going to give him an overcoat. T. J. U. Atlanta, Ga. STOVE OR FURNITURE. Miss Mary Lea Davis: I suggest that a very nice and useful present for a husband would be a nice suite of furniture or a. good cook stove, as either one could well be appreciated and seen every day the year round.

Miss Mary Lea Davis: Christmas is the time of all times to show, by your gifts to husband, that you are ever thoughtful of his wishes and de sires. Now, 1 intend to earn by my own efforts the price of the gift I shall give him, which, I think, would be more appropriate than if he had to pay for his own gift. As my husband is a great lover of a certain breed of chick ens and has several nice hens, but is unfortunate in not having the male bird that he wants (and I believe we should let circum stances guide us in the selection of gifts). 1 am going to give him a fine male bird that will be "a thing of beauty and a joy for ever." and at the same time It will be a source of great pleas ure and profit to him every day in the year. MRS. B. J. Atlanta, Ga. MAKE HER YOUR “PAL.” Miss Mary Lea Davis: The best present a husband can present hts wife is to let her share equally in the joys and sor rows of her husband.
