THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE HAS SURVIVED COLONEL HARVEY In Spite of One Blunder, the Harding Administration Has Broken All Rec ords In the Appointment of Well Trained Envoys UNSOLICITED praise from an unex pected quarter Is contained In an ex plicit tribute paid by the National I'iWc Re form League te the character and quality of the diplomatic and consular services under the Ilnrding Administration, Doubtless the State Department is aware of Its own geed conduct and lias mere than once been pained by the preponderance of public attention directed toward the ap pointment nf CJeerge Harvey te the Court of St .James's. Colonel Harvey and the tense of propor tion have seldom been en terms of inti macy, nor have their dhergencles from it common meeting ground been fully under stood by a public In search of etilivr anient. Thnt article the present Ambassador te . (Ircat Itrltaln almost Invariably supplies. Hlunders, moreover, are familiarly intirrst w betting. Success and this Is one of its superficial drawbacks is often unsensa unsensa tletial Peise and restraint are manifested hv the National Civic Reform League In its ie fi.sal, implied In the findings, te regard Colonel Ilatvey ns Ambassador Extraordi nary te the multifarious lievernments of lliN planet. That he Is extraordinary will be gen i rally admitted. That he is net typical of the tjpe of envoy which has prevai'ed In the appointments of the Administration since March 4. IOL'1. is n fact less gen erally known, a fact Licking that notoriety which, according te some temperaments, lends zest te advertisement. A private organization with a public spirit, the National Civic Reform I-eague makes se bold as te apportion credit where it is due. This inquisitive body does net suggest that the diplomatic and tensillar M'nlces are ideallj administered. It is coiuageetis enough, however, te apply the principle of discrimination te its inquiry and It has pronounced the record as a whole te be indicative of "an earnest effort " te retain the services of men of experience nnd te appoint te diplomatic pe-ts persons with qualifications In di plomacy." This conclusion flees net coincide at all with the stpreetj pod conception of minis terial pests as political plums consumed by ignorant nnd hungry etlice seekers, intel lectually declasse In foreign chancelleries. At the risk of affronting nn age zealously devoted te frightening it-elf with its own alleged shertr timings, the I'erelgn Commit tee of the League lias dared te be good geed tempered ami te support this amazing h miur with the evidence of realities. Americans who find it difficult te forget Colonel Harvey are none the less notified that of tl.e nine Ambassadors appointed by President Harding since his accession te office six are men who had previous valuable experience In the diplomatic service These wrll-trained envoys are Jehn W. Riddle, former Ambassador te Russia, new at Hiicnes Aires: Henry P. I'letcher, for mer Ambas-adnr te Mexico, new at Ilru-i-sets- William M.

Partial analogies te his cue mny be found in the records of a cen-nli i utile- num ber fif legates who have retained their po sitions in spue of overturns In domestic pe'ltics Heffman Philip, an admirable representative, and. by the way. a Demo crat, is aguiii in Hogeta, tilling the pest of Minister te Colombia te which he was ap pointed by Mr Wilsen In li'K. Four Ambassnders, eighteen Ministers, two ngi tits and Consuls tjeneral and one Mltiistir Resident and Censul (ieneral named bj President Harding have had im pre vious diplomatic experience. The Idea! is no etuejs whatever In this categeij , bur, considering the great number of appointees and r" a pii.nfeef. the proportion of what m.i be ieuiid tb part ires from the cur re r pre"di.re Is small.

Save for occasional festival issues, Vnlted States stamps, though authoritative In np peiirancc, have scarcely been beautiful. Philatelists In senrch of art have looked elsewhere than this country. Seme of the miner Central American republics, (Juate mala and Salvader for example, have ex felled In tasteful stamps.

Huslness and nrt that Infrequent combination will betli bf served by the impending change. PROGRESSIVE CO-OPERATION THE speed with which the Mitten plan for co-operative ownership nnd man agement of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company Is moving almost takes the breath nway. Every one was surprised last spring when It wns announced that the empleyes of the company had bought 10,00(1 shares of Its stock. Hut In less thnn six months a new announcement tomes that the men have bought fiO.000 mere shures, making their total holdings IN), 000 shares, or one. tenth of the entlie amount outstanding. These new shares have been bought with the Intention of paying for them out of the wage bonus of 10 per cent which they nre te receive this year, fir tlie co-operative wage dividend, as Mr. Mitten calls it. The shares cost $1, 500,000 nnd have n par value of SL'.riOU.OUO. a market value which they are likely te reach after the present (1 per cent dividend has been paid n few times. The plan of the men and their advisers seems te be te buy ns many shares as pos sible while the market price Is low. for In this waj they can mere quickly nciulre a majerltv of the stock and control the com pan. That this Is their purpose has net been announced, but it Is net necessary for any one te de mere than consider what is happening in order te reach the conclu sion that control Is the goal toward which the men nte working. Then we shall have n street railroad system in which labor troubles will have l.e plaee, fr the ciuplejes will . tlclr own emplejers. Th" experiment making before our eves ha., tremendous possibilities If It can be made te work successfully. The experiment of te -operation has been made in the past, but for one reason or another it has failed! If a way has been found te make It suc cessful Mr. Mitten will rank as one of the great business, statesmen of his time. SHORT CUTS As Senater Walsh sees It, the dutv en hides is a skin game.

GENERAL WOOD, ORGANIZER What the New Head of the Univer sity Accomplished In Cuba Its Educational System Completely Changed Havana University By GEORGE NOX McCAIN ' GENERAL LEO In the Plil'Ippir :ONARI) WOOD is still ines. The University of Pennsylvania autheri ties are still In a state of mental perturba tion as a result. ' It is possible the fnet has been overlooked that the general is something of nn educa tional reorganize which was demonstrated while lie was Governer General of Cuba, twenty-three years age. Ills work In the Philippines In 1022 is equally ns Important ns, if net mere se than, wns his work In the "Penrl of the Antilles." After the lapse of nearly n quarter of a century the Philippines arc getting a much needed Inspection, net te say heusc-clenn-lng, nt the general's hands. Cuba in 11)00 had just emerged from the smoke of battle nnd centuries of Spnnlsh mismanagement, and his task was mere arduous. And .vet In the brief time of his command he perfected one of the most complete trans formations possible te conceive In the history of anj people. It Is net much wonder thnt President Harding is loath te release liim from his job in the Fur Eust. UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA trustees and faculty will read with In terest. In view of the general's connection with that great Institution of learning, the following statement. It Is a summnry of the condition of nffelra in Cuba toward the c!es0 of the jenr 1000, prepareil by the general at thnt time and the work he accomplished. He says: "The greatest ndvunce in Cuba' hns, per haps, been In public Instruction. "The old system consisted of a univer sity located lu Hnvann under the direct con trol of the State and supported largely by Stnte funds. "There was nle nn Institute or school for higher instruction in ench province, nlse under the control of the Stale. "These, with the public schools, which were under Spnnlsh rule and were limited in number and very Inefficiently conducted, constituted the machinery of public Instruc tion. "erTUIE university hns been thoroughly J- reergitnired. "Many of the old professors hove been retired and placed en a moderate pension. "The Institutes nlse have been reorgan ized nnd in many instances re-equlpped with material and apparatus. "The changes in these Institutions, how ever, are insignificant in comparison with the work done in tlie public schools. "Here an entire reorganization has been made. "Over .1100 schools have been established, .1000 teachers employed and 150,000 chil dren ate in school. "The number of pupils will be Increased te 'JOO.OOO and probably 1250.C00 during the next six months. "The expenditures for public education for tlie present school v ear will net be less than $ 1,000,00(1. "During tlie last six months school ma terial, books, desks, etc., for 100,0(10 have been purchased, brought te Cuba and put In tlie schools. A NEW V gate. law school has been promul premul und Is becoming daily mere efficient, "The whole lslnnd has been divided Inte school districts, and the law provides in the greatest detail for the proper conduct and efficiency of the schools. "The tnlnrles paid In the public schools nre higher than these paid teat-htra in any portion of the I'nlted States. "That is for teachers of corresponding grades', with tlie exception of three or four large cities." Frem the above It would nppenr thnt (ienernl I.eennrd Weed Is a reerganlzer with a capital "R." A. E. HIVE, of Highland, Cnllf.. wns for two je-ars, during the governor gen eralship of Leenard Weed, superintendent of public Instruction en the Island. It was reported tirst that Prof. Frye find resigned under pressure, and luter that he had resigned fif ills own volition. Alse that he resented the military super vision of his work. There were hints of mismanagement, and even fraud, which Prof. Fr.ve en his return in January, 1!M. declared te be untrue. In an interview upon his work, his rela tions with General Weed and the conditions in Cuba of the schools, pref. Frye said: "There has been a great improvement in tlie schools nnd higher Institutions of leurn ing in Cuba. "Willie there were net mere than 10,000 pupils In 11)7, there were HL'.OOO in May, l'.IOO. "Tlie highest number ever registered be fore ihe war utixjt 1,000, and the attendance never exceeded 17,000. , rTtHERE were no public schools in re- J- nlity under Spanish rule, and the school property hail little value," said Prof. Frye. "Recently General Weed get the Idea that many of tlie schools reported by me, nnd for which money was being drawn, did net exist. "He gathered this by information submit ted lij his subordinates. "lii my reports I reported tlie number of school rooms, while the military officers counted only the school houses. "Tills confounded mutters, hut I seen ex plained tlie facts with huiisfneiieii tu Gen. ernl W 1 " Prof. Fr.ve then Imparted this remarkable bit of informal Ien : "I'lidcr the old sjstem there were ninety four professors under pay in the L'niversl'ty of Havana, where there were only ,1,')5 stu dents." TH tc IHl. lint'st nieniimeni ever te be erected the memory of Gcnerul Weed will he hie work as Governer General of Cuba. The magnitude of the task cannot be fully npprciliivd at this distance of time. General Weed, like all of his assistants, was called upon te adapt himself te novel and difficult elrcumst.ini es when he under, took the work. The soldiers had te de usually falls te experts, the work which Miecinllsts and 1 1 alius civilians. Hut tbe.v ilCtsimpliNliei the task. Thev showed the igneiaiice of ,,qp wne predicted that we must fall In the reorgani zation work beeuuse we were without trained administrators. i ine ff the greatest achievement of the Weed regime was the eradication of vellevv fever as the result of the discovery hv the medical department of mir niuiy tJmt ,1 eer tain t.vpe of mesquite was the trniiuiiiiiunaj ngeiiev of th's plague. i ic tuber and Nevemls-r, prier te the American invasion, for scores of y,.uril ,ul(, been the months ill which jellnvv feyer was at its worst During li"' eleven j ears prier te 180S the annual aveinge number of deaths from all causes In llnvumi hail been UO.il. In 11)00, after two jeers of American oc ec oc cupatien. there were hut -HI deaths from all muses. ANOTHER phase of work undertaken by General Weed was Ihe rehabilitation of Ibe public works eif Ihe Island. In his report te Washington en this Niib j,.ct he say.t: Tinier public works of a sanitary char acter an enormous amount of work lias been done In all the larger cities mid towns "Water systems costing hundreds of thousands eif dnllais hnve been constructed for the supplj of towns hitherto dependent upon an impure water supp!. Ever energy and nil available manor possible have been devoted te public works,'1 All of which proves that General Lismard Weed is n man with ii capacity for an enonneiiM amount nf work, particularly as nn executive anu erganuer.
