j CHARGED BY WITMER
Head of Psychology De
partment Says Certain
Alumni Members Have
Conspired to Weaken the
Authority of Professors.
Professor Llglitnr Wltmer, chlf of thfr
tyclol6gy department at the University
of Pennsylvania nnd staunch supporter of
tr. Scott Ncarlwt, the recently dismissed
Assistant professor of economics nt that
Institution, mado public a. itatemcnt
today In which he asserts that certain
members of the alumni of the University
hriv, during tho past two yearn, plotted
to weaken the authority of professors nnd
to encourate trustees In summarily dis
missing audi Instructors nnd professors
nn did not meet with their approval.
"The edltorlnl and other utterances of
the Alumni Iteglsler during tho past two
years point to tho existence of a de
termined plot to Undermine tho position
and Influence of the faculty," Doclor'WIt
irler asserts, "nnd on tho other hand en
courage trustees to nsscrt tho right of
arbitrary dismissal of such members of
tho teaching staff as, In the language of
Thomas 8. Gates, 'arc not willing to sub
scribe to certain policies,1 "
Professor Wltmer nlso points out that
prior to tho dismissal of Doctor N'earlng
a member of tho reactionary clique of the
local alumni volunteered tho statement
that, "Wo were willing to give Scott Near
Ing a year's extra snlary," nnd that such
a pioposal was mado by ex-Attorney Gen
eral John C. Dell, a trustoo of tho t'nl
verelt, at tho trustees' meeting nl which
DOctor Seating was diopped from tho
teaching staff of the Institution. l'io
fessar Wltmer neks:
''Are the relations between certain
members of the board of directors of tho
General Alumni Society and certain mem
bers of the board of trustees of tho L'nl-
Verslty of Pennsylvania so Intimate that
alumni directors may nssumo to dictate,
or at least to predict, the future action
of the board of trustees?"
"It Is quite, clear from the pages of the
Alumni Ileglster that tho trouble threat
ened to conio to u head over tho ense of
Dr. William Draper Lewis, clean of the
Law School, who Is subjected to grossly
abusive editorial crltlclism In tho Decem
ber, 1914, number of the Alumni Ileglster.
"Falling to 'get' Dean Lewis, tho
Alumni Jteglstcr schemers were ready to
accept a victim from some other faculty."
Professor Wltmer brings his statement
to a closo by challenging tho nlumnl anil
trustees to answer nlno counts. They
arc in brief:
1. Has the Oeneral Alumni Society
board of directors the power to make
bylaws.?
Second. Did the board of directors of tho
society make a bylaw making seven
members tho legal quorum, which bylaw
was not to bo found among the minutes
of any previous meeting of tho board?
Third. Did I'rovost Smith recommend
tho appointment of a person other than
H M. Llpplncott for the ofllce of secre
tary? Fourth, Was this letter withheld from
the knowledge of tho members of tho
board and Mr. Llplncott elected secretary
nt a meeting Immediately following Pro
vost Smith's departure for Europe?
Fifth. Was tho IJrovost's Committee
discharged by the Board of Directors of
the General Alumni Society?
Sixth. Has the society, recently ap
pealed to tho Boardl of Trustees for
financial assistance?
Seventh. Why has tlio Board of Di
rectors of tho BOclety sought to contiol
the Publicity Bureau of tho University?
Eighth. How Is the editorial board nf
the Alumni Ileglster legally appointed?
Ninth. Has the small group of alumni
In question had the support and co-operation
of certain members of tho board of
trustees?

Woman's Second Blooming
tow English writers have succeeded
so Admirably as II. 0. Wells In giving the
touch of Slavic realism to their novels.
They ro willing enough Id treat Inti
mate, problematic subjects; but lh com
parison with tho Hueslnn novelists they
still lack tho very essence of the treat
ment. A promising hewer English author,
W. U. George, has ventured Into these
realms of reality In his "Second Bloom
ing" (Little, Brown & Co, Boston), and
we cannot deny that he has succeeded In
giving n very real picture of prevalent
upper class life with Its nmbitlons, fail
ures and enigmas.
Mr. Oeorge h'ad viewed the marriage t
three sisters from thtce angles. One sis
ter spends her nmbitlons on politics for
herself ahd her husband; the second one,
nppnrontly happy wllh children and hus
band, throws heiBolf into the aims of n
romantic loVer to satisfy her surplus en
ergy, while the last rontlnucs Indefinitely
to exercise tho Jos and duties of ma
ternity nnd wifehood. Kaeh one of these
faces her own problems, nnd each has her
second btoomlng, when, after ten years
of mnrried llfo, she fronts tho now temp
tntlons or sits back complacently on tho
old sentimentalities.
Such a picture of reality is fruitful, to
say the least. To women, as well as for
their husbands, fathers nnd biothers, Mr
George's presentation tins ll Importance,
for who can tell what shnpo the second
blooming of the most contented women
will tnko on7 There Is no solution n
tho general problem, but Mr. George
knows that It exists, and that It Is fur
more widely provnlcnt than many will
acknowledge. To the thinking person his
observations, presented In n very intelli
gent nnd readable stlc, nro more than
vitally Interesting: they are delicately
truthful.

tho author, Brlc Fisher Wood, has suc

of which he admits, nnd has wilttcn what
Impresses tho reader as n singularly fnlr
unit Impartial review of nil that he saw.
Mr Wood was first n volunteer nttncho

ho witnessed the so-called battles of tho
Marne nnd the Alsne from tho French
side, and still later he visited England,
Switzerland, Holland, Germany, Austria
and Hungary, viewing tho fnst-movliiB

His personal experiences have been ex
ceedingly iMtorestlng, nnd at times even
thrilling, and add very much to the.jjn

Passion's Table d'Hote
Detween his publisher's over so seriously
intended rhapsody about arcs and sm
phoncttc poems and the rovlewcrs' some
what too hasty attacks on James Oppcn
helm's tilpllcate full stops, there seems
very little choice. Mr. Hucbsch fancies
that "Tho Beloved," of which ho Is tho
publisher, Is a very beautiful work; re
viewers of that book have found It n
rather silly book unci havo said so. Pos
sibly If Mr. Iluobsch had restrained his
ei.thuslasm tho ravleweis would havo
found something moro pleasing In "The
Beloved."
But It Is lather hard to believe that
a great representation of a passlonnto
episode can bo made by an artist who
has but one, symbol to snow, otic note to
sound, one color on his palette. Mr. Op
penhelm wishes to wrlto about passion, to
conjure It up lu the sordid breasts of his
readers. And yet the only way he' can
manago even to Indlcnte its presence Is to
use the word. Bo "passion," like a weary,
wearying flea, hops laboriously from page,
to page. If page 213 misses the word, ou
will find It thrice on page 314. Its bat
ting average 'Is over .936.
(Similarly Mr. Oppenhelm wishes to sug
gest depths of tho soul. For that he ures
threo dots, so ... It Is a long time slnco
Mr. Hllalre Bclloo suggested that when
you hadn't nn thing to say you ought to
put In a row of nnterlsks, Indicating pro
fundity of unuttered thought. But not
until now has an nuthor wasted good typo
with tho prodigality of Mr. Oppenhelm.
There Is really only one thing against
Mr. Opperhelm. That Is that his story
Is wofully'old, which it ought never to
be. Inasmuch na It deals with eternities.
It Is hnrd to nrguo about such things, and
It happens that argument Is unnecessary
Three years ago, or so, n young English
man, who looked at life with the eyes of
love and not with the eyes of pity, wroto
a book about a young cad who foil in
love with a ballet dancer. Ills story par
alleled that of Mr. Oppenhelm, In which
a young fool falls In love with n movie
actress. That Englishman is Compton
Mackenzie; his, book, "Carnival." And
having mentioned Its breathless beauty
the reviewer can .only hope that somi
day Mr. Huebsch will find another like It
to print. It will not be from the hand of
Mr, Oppenhelm.

Futile as Fact,
Feeble as Fiction
In this day when descriptions of tho
sensitively and elnboratcly organized cs
plonagc system of tlio Kaiser nro so fre
mient and so terrifying very few persons
are wllllrg to tnko unto themselves tho
dubious distinction of being 11 Herman
spy or even to encourage further sus
picion by open confession of having been
a part of that subtlo nnd seemingly uni
versal Institution.
Not ho Armganrd Carl Graves, who
called himself "Doctor," though his lg
uornnro Is too Illimitable lo warrant the
rlalm for learning which tha title Implies,
llo hnH followed his "levelatlon" of tlio
secrets of the Ocrmnti spy sj.stem with
.1 new romance of "expose," the "Tho
Secrets nl the liohcnzollcrns" (McUUdc,
Nnst and Company, New York).
Many lofty names nro dragged through
these pages, ninny events In high plnccs
are touched on, many diplomatic secrets
are rent of their Veil, many times nio the
Itnllcs which denote foiclgn phrases used.
Doctor Oraves employs allusions as lib
erally ns James Huncker or George Jean
Nathan, but, unlike Huncker, does not
use. them accurately. His dates and data
don't syncluonlzo with his descriptions.
He seems to hnvo small Latin and less
Gei man. When a writer nourishes tho
foreign phrase and the recomllto allusion
tho Informed reader expects them to bo
used properly. When historical events
nio set forth In a causc-niid-cffect argu
ment, tho Informed reader expects chro
nological sciiucnco nnd plnulbIo logic.
Judge alt by examples. Mr. Graves
uses such I,atln ns "Inpsls mcntnlls," nnd
"tlmcos dnnaos"; ho refers both to
Frederick lit and Wllhclm II ns "Em
pel or of Germany": ho Is not auro of tho
plural of "fellah." which ho uses a num
ber of times In his Egyptlnn chapters,
but never ubcs tho proper plural "fellah
een"; ho persists In plurnllxlng "drago
man with "men," as If tho second cle
ment vcro a Teutonic root subject to
umlaut.
For romance the Graves book docs very
well; but at this time, when Its subject
nnd tMt nre so largely In the public
mnld, readers desire fnct. not fiction bo
masquerading .
The historicity of "The Secrets of the
liohcnzollcrns" is, of course, absolutely
negligible.

For and About Women
To tho real feminist tho so-called
"Woman's Movement" means much moio
than tho mcro question of voting. It
means tho whole mass of problems which
nro caused by the realization of new
potentialities within women. Florcnco
Tuttlo sums up these stirrings In "The
Awakening of Woman" (Abingdon Press,
N. Y.) She divides tho renascence Into
three parts the creative awakening, ex
pressed through tho recognition of her
Intellect as nn Important factor In the
world, tho social awakening, na shown in
her earnestness ns tho mother of tho
coming generation, nnd tho awakening of
her sense of race responsibility through
her relation to tho science of eugenics, as
well na to her male companion who owes
the raco duties of fatherhood. Florenco
Tuttlo only sketches the outline of her
belief, but they gvo food for much
thought and further study.
It Is n sad thought, but no less a 1c.1l
one, thnt deafness may como to a child
even after a normal start. For this rea
son John C. Wright's "What tho Mother
of a Deaf Child Ought to Know" (Stokes
& Co., N. Y.) might wisely havo a largor
appeal than merely to tho teacher of the
deaf. It Is another 0110 of tho specialized
books thnt have universal application for
safety s sake. If for no other reason.
Tho school teacher and tho social
worker nro both nsslsted In tho enter
tainment of children on all occasions by
such suggestive books us Anna Luetkcn
haus and Margaret Knox's "Plajs for
School Children" (Century Company,
N. Y ). Tho authors acknowledge the Im
portance of dramatic training for nil
youth, and glvo Illustrations of plnys,
pantomime, stories and pageants, which
contain tho elements of efficiency,
economy and self-discipline.
A little publication entitled, "Some
Women of tho Pre-Hnphacllte Movement,"
by Mrs. Matthew Woods (Drowning
Press, Philadelphia), gives Interesting
anecdotes out of tho lives of some of the
"Urotherhood." with spcclnl reference to
tho women who influenced or aided them.
These, Interesting Utile tales are the only
Justification for tho book, for It Is n bit
trlto to make a point of the women who
aid our men.
Tho barbers are getting' barbarous.
They are going to charge us 49 cents

you're to bo merely shnved nnd cut for

Such Is the decision of tho Master and
Journeymen Unrbors' Association, nnd It
caused much comment todty In stteot
cars and elevators. The organization
met Inst night nt 1402 oxford street.
The- attlttido of tho barbers toward thb
pnblle genorally may bo gleaned by thclf
nddressos. llollud down to a few words,
most bf tho patrons were classed as
"cheap skates" and "sUckors."
It wan lenrncd that n fellow who didn't
gel his hair cut every two weeks was a
sucker guy. Whether It needed cutting
or not wns nut taken Into consideration
Ami aa for the fellow who shaves him
self and then goes to the barbershop to J

tioned, thero was general hubbub nnd
tlio mclnhgu of nnmes could not bo dis
tinctly heard.
"Wo nil give away too much," said
one Indignant barber. "Wo don't charge
nothing for lilac nnd we shavo tho back
of their nocks for nothing.
"That's so," came the answering
chorus ns nil assumed a mnrtyr-llko ex
pression on realizing their own kindness,
"It's tlmo for tho barbers In Phllllo to

nickel on here nnd a nickel on there."
"Hlglit-o," was tho chorus And for a
few moments it looked ns though the
public would hnvo to get Its face shaved
Ijy the squnre Inch.
A. J Bowl declared mournfully that
tho barber had loHt his own dignity while

Is Our Progress Real?
Is the unexampled progress of the mod
ern world ndvnncement In tho right di
rection? This question Hint tho war has
inspired so many thoughtful men and
women to nsk Is answered In "Whither,"
an anonymous essay (Houghton Jllfdln
Company). Tho fulness and richness that
charatcrlzcd life In the past nre gone,
says the nuthor, nnd we havo substituted
laiBcncss, restlessness, desire for chance
nnd ficnzlcd motion. Nowndnys thought
Is out of fashion: wc observe instead.
Averring that tho only genuine prog
ress Is thnt In the Inner llfo, tho soul,
tho author again eloquently observes of
our modern life: "One Is nwnro of a
lessening life, a drying of the very
sources of vitality; tho old Benso of
Illimitable destiny, of gicatncss, of the
challenge of eternity, Is gone."
