CIRARD THEN AND NOW TIIH wmlc of building piers en the le'n nare is progressing se quietly that few persons fully realize the greatness of the enterprise that is en feet there. It will be news te many that ?4.0!)0,000 wis spent by the city last year along the waterfront Arrangements are making te fpend $4,000,000 mere in building the new Oirard piers north of Market street, the l contracts for which will be let in the near future. These piers will be of great historic inter est, for they will be en the waterfront where Stephen CJirard landed his ships In the early part of the last century, bringing te this pert riches from all parts of the world. The city has grown nleng with the size of tiie ships, and the wealth that comes here new is as much greater than came in the days of (iirard as the ships of today are bigger than tlie ships of the famous sea merchant. A big freighter such as Is fre quently decked en the Delaware will carry as much as a whole fleet of (lirnrd's little ailing vessels. IndeeiJ, Oirard thought that $30,000 was tee much te pay for a new hip.

Dr. Jehn Hnnch Straten. Dr. Stralen Ib perhaps the most deter mined of modern upllftcr.

Is, of course, desirable. If It Isn't as popular as It ought te be. some of the blame may rest en people who labor zealously te make It seem hopelessly unattractive. The devil, unlike the mere clamorous moralists, has a geed ear for geed tunes, a sharp eye for artistic values, n disposition te advertise ,s cnue with lights and laughter, gayrfy and cheerfulness. Ilelng "id and wise, the devil knows that a hunger for beauty Is inherent In every man and woman, and that even a clever imitation of that rare quality will draw "u crowd. Many of the music shows at which Dr. Straten rages arc deplorable enough. Why de peo ple go te them In droves' Is It because the crowd is wicked at heart? Hardly. Mere likely it Is because the dweller In cities llnds few places te which lie ma leek for beauty, for relief from a grim, 'gray routine of sights and sounds, that the pictorial quality of the stage and the tinkle and blare of musical comedy attiact him ns water attracts a thirsty marf in a desert. If the mere energetic stage reformers were practiced In the methods of psychoanalysis they would have nnlv te glance at any of the modern music shows te see that the producer usually has n dual personality. The artist In him is warring eternally with the business man who has te count costs and pay expenses. That is why streaks of dirt are se often laid across stage scenes ns bright r.nd beautiful end Innocent of wrong Impulse ns the pictures In n chilli's fairy book. "We have te sllnj that in for the goops." soy the producers when some one moves out a gorgeous scene te sing a grimy song. The goops are a minority, but they are pietty numerous. They arc the people who will have te be dealt with by the reformers. Fer the frequent failures in the theatrical business show plninly that producers actually prefer te present clean and charm ing plays. Actors and actresses prefer te appear In such plnjs. Stage people them selvps have always taken the fend for stage reform, and often they have been financially ruined for their pains. O.-car Hamiuersteiu was broke half the time. Many ether managers have lest for tunes evernlsht because the public was net read) for them. Hul the public as a whole is right-minded. The rnent prefiable inu-le show of the last j ear didn't have an ob jectionable line, nu objectionable gesture or an objectionable costume in it. If jeu dig behind the scenes you be able tn turn up scandals, nut scandals are net unknown in ether professions and ether businesses Fer that reason blunket indict -menffl of the stage or of imj particular group which works upon it are net only uncharitable but wholly unjust. There are two ways te leek at any stage company. Yeu may regard It as a collection of rather reckless folk engaged In a doubt ful occupation. Or veu may leave n theatre with a sense of something liUe admiration and gratitude for clever, whimsical and charming people who worked rxtteniely hard te give you an hour or two of llluien. and who proved te your delight that there still is some benuty left, still some smiling and un conquered grace jn the world ami n few peep'e who can sing and dance nnd he beautiful te see Between these (we points of wrw one cheeses jicrnidlng le one's temperament. But the generous view Is itl all probability the unspoken view of the majority, which gees te the theatre for relief from t10 memory of drab occupations and fnr a glimpse of the sort of light ami color which modern existence denies them. If the devil occasionally walks en the stage te de his works nnd wraps evil sug sug gestlvenes, i Bitteiing lisht inl weaves spells te the sound of cheerful music, lie is merely proving nsain that he lneie astute than his enemies and a Irt'cr s-udent of human nature The devil knows betier than te suppose that all dull things nie nece.ssnrilj Bend nnd all brl;iii things necessarily cwi.

"I'M ALL RIGHT" THE statement of Charles A. Snyder In Hnrrlshurg yesterday before the com mission which is Inquiring into the neces sity for a reorganization of the State Gov ernment was In effect that if only Mr. Snyder had been continued as Auditor Ocn Ocn eral there would have been money enough te pay all the bills due. Tint because Audi tor General Lewja ins net been diligent In his business the State ewes 1.000,000 without any money In the Treasury. In anticipation of his appearance before the commission Mr. Snyder sent broadcast ever the Commonwealth a defene nnd glorification of his own administration in the Auditor General's eflicc. This state ment contains no alluvien, however, ie the cstimnt" of the receipts against which ap propriations could be made that he submit ted le the Legislature last year, the esti mate that was used te justify mere gener ous appropriations than usual. N'e one has ever denied tluit Mr. Snyder collected the public revenues. The charges that have been mode against him are that he used the public money te pay lawyers whom he had no authority te hire. As a matter of fact, net only he but the head of every ether department was expressly for bidden by law te hire any lawyers save through the office of the Attorney General. I'ut when Mr. Snyder wanted n lawyer he snt for one of his friends, paid him n gen erous fee out of the public funds and had him de the work which the Attorney Gen eral should have done. And he is boasting new t lint he was se moderate In Ills expenditures that he did net exhaust the appropriation for his depart ment, but left office with nil unexpended balance of $ll'fl.one. It luust be niUnitted that his boasting lias some justification, for his self-control under the circumstances is astounding. Perhaps it was Ids recollec tion of this unexpended balance that led him te say t lint If he had It te de ever again lie would have paid Lieutenant Gov Gov ereor Ileldlemnn 510,000 Instead of $.000 for legal services. This would hnvc made It twice as difficult for Mr. Iteidlemnn te say that he did net get anything and per haps would net have been kind te the hulla hulla hulla bnlloe ntntcsman of Hnrrlslmrg. Hut te come back te the lack of funds in the State Treasury. Mr. Snyder glibly sins that mere than 51,s.t)00.0il0 is due te the State hi uncollected Inxes which the Audi tor General could collect if lie were properly diligent, as diligent, in fact, ns Mr. Snyder himself was In the same office. Hut se far as appears, these tuxes arc in litigation and are likely te be in lit teat Ien for a long time. The State enn realize nothing en them until the courts hnvc passed en the ljjgnl ques tions involved. The present deplorable condition of I he business of the Mete cannot lie disposed of quite se glibly. It has come about through neglect and Inefficiency, if net through de liberate disiegard of the law. And the trisis was precipitated by mi inllated esti mate of revenues prepared last year by Mr. Snyder himself and used as a basis fur ap propriations. -1 DAYLIGHT SAVING w NDEIt the plan for which Council's 'emmlttee en l.aw voted favorably yes terday, daylight saving will be in force during May, June, July.

LOWRIE I AM always amazed at the way specialists nveld their specialty in" the presence of tiie uninitiated. Amateurs are just the op posite. They wrench the conversation out of guar in order that It may jerk In nnd out of their chosen topic. Tills week 1 happened te he lunching up In Princeton, where most of the guests were "fresh and het off the griddle" from Hie first meeting of the Harrow-Princeton Fine Arts Club, n perfectly new combination in the wertd of art and letters, and very In teresting te itseif and doubtless of Interest te ethers, nnd from their talk nt lunch one would net have guessed It. The fine arts departments of the I we universities. It nnnenrs. decided tir meet and informally discuss n variety of cotrHnen lntersts or perhaps I should say uncom mon interests which thi?v held In common. Theoretically, these discussions were te be confined te the two representative art de partments, but somewhat Informally one or nnether was haled In, with the result that the Metropolitan Museum of New Yerk and Columbia College had men there, and even Rutgers College was allowed "n leek In." Se that whnt was only Intended for an informal visit of the representatives of two schools became In the end quite a partVi considerably te the surprise of the origina tors. 1 was told. In fact, like most liess whose Informal evening grows te n regular party, they regretted that since se msny came inore were net asked; especially as the discussions proved immensely worth while. I HAD nil this from Prof. Geerge Chase, head of ihe Harvard line arts depart ment, lie was ilellahted te tnlk of the news of the day. but neither be nor Wlnship. of the Wldener Harvard Library, who sat en my left, ever strayed te their real subjects And en comparing notes with the ether women afterward. I found my exprrlcnce had net been singular. There was, for In stance. Mr. William Dinsmore, director of the Avery Architectural Library of Colum bia : there was A. Kingsley Perter, once of Yale and new of Harvard, whose specialty is medieval art: there was Prof. Alan Mnr quand, of Princeton, the authority in the world en Delia Rnbbias and learned in mat ters tnuchlns Italian Renaissance, as well as much else; there was Chnse. who, T believe. Is an authority en vases, Greek, Hvr.Antlni, Htriiscnn, etc.; there was Mrs. Nye. who Is collecting material for a book en the fignu of the Zodiac in art from the Egyptian nnd Chinese and the Incns down te the present but although the conversa tion was amusing and even sparkling, the laughter ami sparkle concerned present things and passing events, nnd these of us who were net wise en archeology when we came were none tiie' wiser when we went away. Possibly 'the public discussions en the previous evening had sated these learned authorities for the time beln; and it was a relief te tnlk of "cabbages nud kings" with merely women. I found n crumpled piegratn of that eve ning session of the new club, and these are seuv.' of tiie subjects they discussed when thev were down te business : "New Acquisitions, nt the Metropolitan," Mr. Hreck. "Criteria for Distinguishing Hyg'antlnc nud ltnle-Hyz.intinc Works of Art." Prof. Frothingham. "Ameilcan Decorative Art." Mr. Cor nelius. "A Romanesque Ivery Hex." Prof. Smith. "Miscellanea in Italian Painting," Mr. Piatt. DFKING Ihe session of tiie club en the previous morning they had discussed, among ether things, line arts, bibliegruphy, the Index of iconography, tenching drawing ami painting in colleges, the master of line nits decree und graduate fellowships. Seeing that these topics were at least en their minds if net. during luncheon, en their tmigues, I Wildcij them severally On their light passing ever of Philadelphia, ns nt le.ist ns interested ns New erk nnd Hestnn in architecture and in the teaching of art. The ones 1 spoke te knew Langdnn Warner, knew linger Elliet, and valued both; knew the Wldener collection nnd the John John Jehn eon I'ellictlnn, nud invcled both ; knew our Scheel of Architcctute, and deilred te get n breast of it nnd eventually ahead of it. They did m.t knew of our Scheel of Graphic Ar!-- or of Air. Flcischuinn's Ivories and percclnins, nml they were vague about the cellei liens at Memerial Hall or the di versity Museum, nnd none of them knew about the "Cret plan" for the Centennial. Hut the point is. even In an Informal gathering of art connoisseurs at a nearby university, nothing that Philadelphia pos sesses or is about te poetess intrigues the learned mind te the point of lulling her In te ask her n question or te listen te her opinion. And I de net think it Is the fnillt of the hosts who made up that informal little party, which thei call n club, I think it Is the fault of Philadelphia, which is ("mi lent socially and Wvicully te Ignore her Uni versity, te treat her great ait schools us though they were scml-phllauthrnpicH, te ibde mil driblets of mencv toward the build ing which is te house Ihe art treasure the town pessetscs, and, le remain scarcely aware that in the Graphic Aits Club nnd ihe Scheel et Archil" t"ie the Wf.

We lifts i" allowed the Pennsylvania Rail mad te jrlve ns all her smoke and New S'nrk the finest station in the world. We build the ships for the (eiintrv and let them sail from every pert but from ours. We manufacture most of the goods ether cllies sell ever their counters, nud go tn New Yolk tn simp when wc are out te spend. We have the most beautifully kept up country places en this side of ihe Atlantic, nnd net one of them is really open for ordi nary visitors te see and enjoy, We have the greatest orchestra in the country, prob ably In the world, jet for opera or for sum mer music we have te depend en outsiders. We are the Mecca ter all patriots of any laud, nnd the joke of every seeend-vnle vaudeville nml circus pattercr Most of the benevolent and philanthropic and civic pro gressive ideas, from the treatment of the insane te nationalization ccremonles, have had their beginnings here, but they lmve te be born again in some oilier town before tiie world hears of them. What happened last week in Princeton is happening all ever the country, nnd It is our fault. WE HAVE h great chance te get together in tlie Sesqiil-Centennlul and te make our house beautiful ami te prnetlce hospi tality en a great American scale. Rut nnlv by vnlulns what we have that Is beautiful niiil worthy crm we keep it ourselves or biare v,lth ethers, Philadelphia hud better tnke her talents out of the napkin nud put them out te buying pleasure for herself, and for her neighbors.

PROHASKA On Health Education A RADICAL change In Unpopular nnd the educational view of the proper reln reln tlen of athletics mid scholastics has come about In the Inst fifteen years, nccerdlng te Dr. Charles J. Prehnska. physical director ut Temple University. "Health education." said Dr. Probesko, "is Ihe term which has been applied te tins new view of the value of physical exercise, mid It is an excellent phrase, because that is exactly what It K "The change in the attitude of tire public and the educators began about fifteen years age. At thai time the Instructor in physical exercises was looked upon mere lis a lender than anything else; that is. one able te per form feats of physical prowess that Ins class was unable te de and nil they ceultt de, or desired te de, was te imitate him. "Then (lie Heards of Education began te realize tlie real importance of phjslcal training or rather physical education was in its relation te general education. They found out that what they needed was net neccsstnllv a gymnast or n trained athlete, but a man capable of Instructing n class from the educational point of view. "At that tlme there were fcr mere men In this field than there were women. New this situation has been just reversed. Hie whole piegiess of the movement was gradual and was evolutionary rutlier than icvolu icvelu icvolu liennry. "Then came n gradual investigation of the physical side of exercises. It was found speedily that It was net necessary for a person te have great muscular development or ie he a gymnast or n highly trained athlete in order te be healthy. Se far as the public and the overage person are con cerned, permanent health Is the aim of exer cises, net tiie ability te perfurm lemarkable feats of strength or agility. This conclusion bes revolutionized the system of physical training and out of it lias grown the only sensible and practical thing a program te lit the needs and leqiilrcmcnts et every part of t lie body. Physical Education General "Health educntlen is today mere geneiiil than it haR ever been before in the history of the country as far as scholastic work Is concerned. Te cover the general Held thor oughly, the pupils must knew something of anatomy, hygiene, physiotherapy, Includ ing corrective gymnastics ami massage. This work is all beside the gymnasium ami athletic instruction, nnd the work is se ar ranged that nt the close the pupil Is net only prepnrcd le conduct classes tn calis thenics or te take n class en the ntliletlc Held, but Is also prepared tn assist In med ical cases where exercises and uuis-agc. are required. "A foundation has been laid in this cnurre of education se that the pupil is nblc net only le luke gymnasium classes, but can specliilie in any physical held he desires. In n two years' com se U, (.ull only leueli the high spots, lis Micro is n tieineiiduus mneunt of weik Involved, but In that time the foundations, can be laid and it is then up te the pupil te speciulira when the time comes. "The muln idea of physical training in Ihe sense of which T speak Is le gel a thoroughly sound body nnd the work should lie correlated witli the educational side all through. I believe that u young person who has followed hygienic principles care fully, plus systemetic training. Is much betier prepared te carry en educational work than one who hes net had these advantages. Weak Hedy Always Handicap "I knew that thein have been n number of cases of men who have achieved great things mentally who were crippled, deformed or suffering from long Illness, but the gen eral thought even in these ceses l.s that had they been possessed of full strength physi callv they would have attained evim greater heights than they did. They succeeded In spite of their physical liaiidlenpn, net be cause of them. "Physical education Is no longer thought of ns simply a means of making se much in hulk or muscle or even giving the ability le de unusual feats, but mere as a menus bv which wc can reach the vllul elements of the body, such as respiration, Wivulntlen nnd heart nellen, and reuse them te function te their best legltlmt6 ability.

The point Js tn teach him te knew just what lie needs along these lines, mid when he has acquired this be can de the rest for himself, lie Is given nn outline se that he knows what the aims are of exercises, what each one is designed te cor rect, (his knowledge being based en physiol ogy, nnntemy nnd allied subjects, and he Is shown what should happen In each case. "Physical exercises vary with tlie ages of iliese taking them. It Is evident that the child, whose vital organs are developing, can stand mere vigorous exercise, relatively speaking, with benefit thnn n man of thirty live years, who linn long since ntteined his full physical development. It is merp likely te de him harm rather than geed te get badly out of breath, as his lungs arc entirely devWepeflflinil extra demands put upon thein without cause de no geed, "The chief aim of physical education Is te build up and maintain the vital organs through the action of the muscles.
