When be was asked if he were lecturing he confessed that he lind been "exchanging old stuff for new money" he replied thnt te lecture is "te intruit dogma tleall.i ." and that his statements en the public ros trum were neither lntrnctie nor dogmatic. His remarks must net be taken tee lit lit erall , for occasionally he has been dog matic He iuts his statement In such a pleasant form, however, that they de net offend.

Automobiles seek the reads of least re sistance and smoothest travel. Fer this reason the thoroughfares named, wide and paved with sheet asphalt, are popular above all ethers. As thii multiplicntie'i of meter vehicles progresses it will fellow that the smooth, durable pavement will take precedence ever ether types where traffic Is heaviest In large cities. New Yerk lui 1400 miles of street paved with some form of asphalt. Chicago has 1-00 miles of nsphaltlc type thoroughfares and Washington about -00 miles. WE.

He immediately proceeds te answer him self thus : "An asphalt surface provides net only n wearing course, but a cushion which alisiitbs the shock impact and reduces the shattering effect of ihe rigid main structure of the street."

MORRIS On Spread of Forum Idea piIILADFLPHIA is taking 11 conspicuous - part in the development of the Forum idea In the Fulled States, ueeerdlng te Keland S. Merris, former Ambassador te Japan and chairman of tlie Forum organ ization in this city. "The idea of a Forum," said Mr. Merris, "is really the coalition of several widely diversified feices, ull. however, looking te a common end, each of which has exerted a powerful influence upon the thought of the feuntrv for a long time pit. These forces have net all been coexistent, but have shaped themselves and their policies accord ing te the trend of thought of the people at the lime when they were respectively organized Seme of these oignniatiens did net nlvvaxs keep pat 0 wi'ii the changing manner of thought of the American people ami were, therefore, succeeded by etheis. Tiie I'nlverslty Kvtcnslen ' Fer :i ipiarter of a century the Society for the extension of Fuiversity Touching tleuiislied throughout the country, but es. peciallv was this the case in Philadelphia. The local organizations in many ether large fenteis of population appeared somewhat te lese their held upon the people, but this wns net the case et the Philadelphia or ganization, wheie the interest was sustained te an unusual degree. 'Anether form in which this tendency for the acquirement of greater knowledge was manifested wns the immense growth of in terest in public nffairs en tlie part of the women. This received 11 tremendous stim ulus with the passage et the Nineteenth Amendment, giving women the right of suf frage Naturally, every woman who had the interest, of her country. State and city at heart, as most of them have te as high a degree as men. felt Immediately the desire te leek mere eniefully into these matters in order that she might use her ballet in relligentlv and for the best lnteicsts of her 1 eiiiiiuniity. . ,1, Still nnether manifestation and cleselv allied with Ihe movement of the women was tlie series of lectures given nt the Civic Club under the auspices of the women's or ganization. These proved te be very popular and accomplished much geed. "A fourth form of the widespread nature of this inteiest was demonstrated by the pepularitv of the evening and noendav lec tures at the Citv Club. These were devoted largelv te timely subjects and matters n' loiitempnrnueoiih interest. "Vnienit all these sources nearly every brain h of Intellectual effort was covered, hut cspeciallv a wider knowledge of fine arts, uetublv music nnd literature, a better knowl edge of public nffairs, international and national, nnd n higher sense of citizenship. "Te nil of thebe was added another last vear when, after the reorganization of the fiidemy of Music, some lectures and Feiuii. discussion" were given independent of the ethers These various organizations were there fee working te exactly the same end the spread of Information en vital subjects, presented by the bebt authorities it wab possible te secure. The Forum Appears While nil these were doing weik of the highest Importance, It became apparent that theie was duplication of effort, together with conflict of dates nnd various ether conditions impossible te avoid. "Therefore, it was decided that if these almost identical interests could be con solidated into a single Increased course, which would comprehend th' best uf the I nlversity F.xtenslen work, deal with liter arv and scientific subjects and similarly take the best of the work of the ether movo mevo move nients, there could be offered te the members of all of these organizations, unci in a limited measure te persons who were mem bers of none of them, a consolidated Forum course, which we hope will be the center of mere widely dlsseminuted nnd accurate in formation en all important and pending (uobtleus of interest, Internatiena), jiatienui "With this object In view, the four or er or ennUatlens nnpelnted four representative.! each, thewe forming n joint beard, and this beard has completed a lourse for the coming winter months approximating seventy-five events, which collectively will cover prac tically every branch of art, science, litera ture and public nffulrs of every description.

The Idea of the Forum is net a new one It la simply that the expression of that Idea, or rather its form, has changed te suit the conditions brought about by the changing of civilisa civilisa teon. "Prier te the Civil War and subsequent te it the I'nlted States saw the development of the Lyceum. This continued te the closing years of the last century nnd the opening ycnis of the present one, when the University Extension took root and grew rapidly; new the old Lyceum and the later university Extension have been combined Inte the modern Forum. New Feature Explained "The Forum, however, will be a Forum in fact as well as In name. One feature of its meetings, which was net included, nt least in a comprehensive manner, in the organizations which il Is superseding, will be that the members of the audiences may take an netivj part in the proceeding'! by asking questions of the lectuiers or speak ers, which the latter will answer in se far as they lelate te the matter under discus sion. "This feature has obvious advantages. It will make Ilie events far mere interesting and intimate und it will clear up any points of doubt in the mind of the individual who has net dourly followed the lines of reason ing of the speaker and therefore has net leached the same conclusions from the premises an stated. "The Fei um will net confine itself te dis cursive events, for the nrts will lecdve tl: r full shnre.s of representation, and there will be symphonic and choral music, Shakespear ean recitals and dances for the young. Organizations Retain Identity ' Nene of the four organizations which have made the Forum possible xvlll lese IN identity. They have merely sunk their in dividuality te the extent of concentrating their combined elferts along educutlenal and nmusement lines in the new centrul body. Whatever small less there may be in in dividuality will be mere than compensated for by the unification of effort and the great saving in cxpense. "This experiment In Philadelphia Is being watched witli much interest by many of the ether large cities of the country, which hope, as we de. that the movement will meet thn need which America feels for a larger knowl edge of economic, political und intellectual problems.''
