SEGREGATING COMMUTERS THE movement en behalf of a suburban union station, which has acquired some Impetus in New Yerk, represents an attempt te grapple with a problem that has become formidable in every great city throughout the glebe. Commuting has reached proportions uu lmaglned by the primitive real estate op erators wVe first announced "ensy terms" for city weriers with a taste for the bucolic. The huge traffic dc eloped, while It has been profitable te the rallwajs, has vastly aggravated the trnln-dispatchlng problem, especially in terminnls of through routes. The conscious effort te distinguish with regard te station facilities between the two kinds of trnvel has mine Inte, but encethe Innovation is established it is likely te be abundantly imitated. , The Gare St. Lnzarc. In Tarls, which handles the largest number of passengers of 7Bny station In the world, presents for cer tain hours of the day the aspect, in its crowds and confusion, of n popular uprising. The plan proposed In New Yerk as an offset te conditions enlj slightly less cmhnrrassing is the construction of a union fctatlen nt Fourth nvenye nnd Thirty-fourth street te' accommodate all tuc principal ltyies et sub urban traffic. It the project gees through, l'hiladel Jihlans, assuming n zest for instruction, may learn something of value for use when the railway terminal problems in this city nrc considered from the standpoints of realities and imperative needs. At present the sit uation, steadily growing worse, represents mere or less haphazard development. TO THE SEASIDE BY SEA J A NXOUJCCEMEXT of a through passcn jTx ger steamship service, te he initiated tuts summer, between New Yerk and Cape lay. focuses attention upon n leng-neglceted isslbi'ity iu transportation. Although pid and excellent railway communication s Riven almost a suburban character te Mpw Jersey seaside resorts within a radius cfv.fW miles from the great urban population ecincrs. the charm of leisurely voyaging by beat is by no means negligible. The once resplendent Republic formerly tuppHed nn nttrartlvc link between Phila delphia and the Atlantic Ocean, but even some tymc before the war river and coastal passenger transit suffered from n steady de cline, te which the test of onerntlen nnd ether conditions during the period of con flirt contributed a formidable blew. Evidences of revUnl are, however, nt last at hand. The Old Dominion Line has lately restored Its historic service from New Yerk te Norfolk. Fer the first time since the Avar the i:rkf.en Line, pl.xlng between Philadel phia and Baltimore in the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal, supplemented the night line lest season with u day beat. Thti Cape May icnturc should pin vide n plrasiirahle excursion, the delights of which nnny PhJlndelphlans will be inclined te s envj.

The men offi cially In charge of the enterprise cannot de everything. They can arrange for the necessnry ex hibition buildings and for the exhibits te be contained In, them. They can plan music festivnls, conven tions nnd conferences te he held within the fair grounds. And they enn suggest what must be done by the rest of us In order te provide for the adequate housing nnd feeding nnd general entertainment of the millions of visitors expected. When the rest of us co-operate with the fair directors we shall have the kind of teamwork that will make the fair one of the most brilliantly successful international ex hibitions ever held. Scores of persons have doubtless been thinking of what could be done outside of the fair grounds. They knew that the street -car system Is Inadequate le accom modate the prc&cut population of the clt. They knew that the railroad stations ere net cenenlcntly placed and that they arc net big enough new for the people who use them. And they nre aware that the city lins tee few hotels. it takes se many million dollars te build nnd furnish n large modern hotel that capital hesitates te invest itself in such enterprises. Hut splendid hotels nrc going up in ether cities where they arc needed no mere than they arc needed here. Experienced hotel men have persuaded themselves that their investment in the ether cities will be profit able. Philadelphia capital is invested in tome of these hotels. Why should net Philadelphia capital be invested in new hotels right here nt home, where It is evident thnt there will be an acute demand for hotel accommodations during the fair? The pressure en hotel accommodations will begin ii jenr or two before the fair opens, as there will he ft continual stream of visitors te (he city seen nfter work en the buildings for the fair begins. Prospective exhibitors will fcnjl their representatives here te learn what space can be allotted te them. Men seeking conce'sslens of larieus kinds will fleck te the ycity te make their arrangements. And when these arrangements have been made their agents.' wilt come te carry out their plans, Seme of them mny huvcj te he here ie long that they will bring their families with them nnd rent houses. ISut there will be a period during which they will have te Hc in a hotel. And this will make new business. As the existing hotel accommodation Is no mere than adequate for the present business. It seems ns If capitalists would seen see the opportunity for profitable investment. Of course, it would be unwise te build a Jet of expensive hotels te take care of oil the vis itors te the fair while it is in progress. A large part of them will have te be taken care of in private houses turned Inte lodging houses for the summer, But two or three large hotels could be put up with the pros pect of pcrmnnent business. If the capi talists arc timid they could Insist that the buildings could be se arranged thnt they could be transformed into office buildings or apartment houses nt nny future time. This course hns been followed in ether cities, where large club buildings have been erected for organizations the future of which was in some doubt. The men who have lent the money for the undertakings have insisted thnt the buildings he planned iu such n way that they could he put te com mercial use. Indeed, It has been suggested right here In Philadelphia that some of the new schoolhouses in districts from which jhe population mny be crowded by the expansion of business be planned in such ii way that they could be turned into factories or office buildings and sold when the city no longer needed them for schoolhouses. The demand for apartments nnd for offices in the central district is new largely in ex cess of the supply, and It is increasing every jenr. Even though there should nut he business enough for the new hotels after the fair lias closed, the buildings could be put te profitable use. But the chances nre that with the growth In population nnd business every hotel thut is likely te be erected would (entlnue te be used ns a hotel. There is no lack of sites for such structures that would be satisfactory for apartment houses or office buildings. Enterprising men arc doubtless studying the situation at the present moment, and we may hear almost nnj day of negotiations )p tween capitalists and hotel managers looking te the business that Is expected te he creutPil by thp fair. The problem of the railroad stations Is net se Mmple. There are ninny phlludclphlans who have been dreaming of a great union station Inte which the trains of the Rending, the Balti mere and Ohie nnd the Pennsylvania svh terns would come nnd through which all the north nnd south nnd east and west trains stepping at this city would pnss. They nre net thinking of nny such expen sive and menuinenlnl structure as the Penn sylvania terminal In New Yerk, but some thing mere like the I'nlen Station in Wash ington. But they nre aware that this Is only u dream, ns the corporations involved are net disposed te consider nny such con solidation of their Philadelphia stations. Yet it must be admitted that such a con solidation would b of Immense benefit te the city, while it would result In economies for the railroads. The street railway situation Is hound te be improved before 10110. One nw high-speed line the Frnnkferd "I." will he in opera tion before the end of the year. The City Council Is considering the authorization of ether lines. And without nny doubt Mr. Mitten, president of the Philadelphia Knpld Transit Company, has been giving much serious thought te the subject. If the city authorities and Mr. Mitten can ceme te a satisfactory agreement ns te routes and terms of operation, there Is every reason for ft. v believing thnt ample facilities for carrying the fair visitors will be provided In time. Hut n decision cannot be postponed long. It must be evident te every one thnt Jf the fair is te succeed the people of the city must mnke preparations for It nnd net leave everything te the fair directors. A REFORMER ABROAD A'LTHOUOH the wild tnle of the impo sition by n French military court In Syria of a twenty-year prison sentence upon Chnrles R. Crnne has been categorically denied by the Foreign Office In Paris, the delicacies of unofficial inquiry arc none the less worth heeding. Mr. Crane is obviously nn enthusiast en the subject of administering mandates ac cording te the original Smuts-Wilsen plan, nnd Is of the opinion thnt there have been abuses under th,e French regime In the Near East, He has already reported his find ings in Syria te the Mandate-Commission of the League of Nations sitting in Geneva, nnd hns admitted that even the French members treated him "with every considera tion." Whether Mr. 'Crane's activities In k sit sit untlen e'f ucknewiedged complexity will re sult In anything mere than respectful hear ings Is, however, somewhat doubtful. Re pudiation of the League of Nations by the United States has net smoothed the path of these apostles of self-determination who nre aggrieved et some of the after-war settle ments. It Is snld te be the belief of Mr. Crane thnt Upper Syria, of which Damascus is the chief city, hns been unwarrantably deprived of notional rights nnd that the country should cither be nccerded complete Inde pendence, in response te the wishes of the Moslem inhabitants, or liberal autonomy under nn American mnndnte. Despite his diplomatic experiences under the WiNen Administration, this itinerant critic without portfolio Is seemingly deficient in n ccrtnln sense of renlltlcs. Well Informed, perhaps, concerning the causes of Syrian discontent nnd sympathetic with the native resentment ever the ousting of King Felsal, new restricted te a modified nutherlty in Irak, Mr. Crane appears te have forgotten what was the consequence of the appeal for uu American mandate ever Armenia. It is fantastic te presume that the atti tude of the United States concerning ven tures nbrend has lately changed. Further more, It must be conceded thnt Europe hns reciprocated regarding American interests nnd exhibitions of suzerainty in the West ern Hemisphere. French nltrulsts nre net nt present nctlve In Haiti nor nrc European pretests forth coming when the United Stntes, as was the vase last week, squelches an incipient revo lution In Nlcnrugua. The way of the nrdent private reformer nowadays is fur from easy. There nrc doubtless wrongs te be righted in Syria, where the mixture of races perpetuates n problem tr.vlng even te Imperial Reme some two thousand years nge. But Mr. Crnne, even If he hns discovered the remedy, can scarcely afford te overlook the fact thnt American governmental in terest in whnt occurs ncress the sens is te some extent measurable by congressional performances. MUNICIPAL BEACH SERVICE SOMEWHAT unpretentiously innugurnted several years nge, the municipal bathing beach service has ulrcady reached propor tions warranting its consideration ns nn im im pertnnt attraction of urban life during the season -In which the city is supposedly the least appealing. Commendable Improvements in facilities have been mnde since Inst jenr. When the season opens in June. Pleasant Hill Park, en the Delaware near Torresdale, will be well equipped te accommodate Inrge crowds. The lake beaches nt League Island Park are ac counted the best municipal undertakings of their kind. Buttling nnd locker houses providing for C000 persons nt n time have recently been erected, nnd during the last fifteen months the strand has been virtunlly "rebuilt'' with 21!i),000 cubic jards of clean sand. Beth the enst and west lakes nrc te be open for bath ing this summer, and flood lights vvill make them available at night. As a "seaside" resort. Philadelphia has made a praiseworthy beginning. What is required new is an expansion of the idea te serve conveniently ether sections of the city save the extreme northeast and the extreme south. The possibilities of the Schuylkill for the West Philadelphia and central city district have net been exhausted. .. ... Dean Inge, of St. Paul's.

Ccrtnln idenls of conduct nnd endeavor nre held out before them, nnd n training In these impertnnt matters comes with the gemes they learn. "Xene of our work Is compulsory en the part of the children, nor. except In n general way, nre they under discipline while they nre using the receratien centers or the play grounds. Therefore they have nn independ ence of spirit which is net often seen in compulsory physical training or education. ''There nre very few serious brenches of conduct. Police officers nrc detailed te the plnygreunds duringthc summer, but there is net often nny reason for them te interfere. The disciplinary effect of the uniform is verv effective, even if silent. Of course, there nie many little disagreements, but few that the teacher In charge ennnet fix up in n few minutes. Infractions of) the rules nrc pun ished by banishment from the playgrounds for. periods of from half an hour te n half day or se, the teacher having the nutherlty te mete out these punishments.
