10 3&?o(Y)er) Should Husbands Pay Divorced Wives Alimony By ELLA W HEELER WILCOX r*otest against giving divorced wives urge alimonies. It is time some fltronge voice was raised in protest against this reflection upon dignified ■womanhood. This subject of alimony should have been taken up by the suffragettes long ago, and an antialimony organization should have been formed by them. "When a woman separates from her husband it is usually because she has ceased to care for lilm, ceased to re spect him and ceased to feel confi dence In his honor. How any woman • an permit a man of whom she enter tains such an opinion to pay her money is a question for ''the emanci pated'' to answer. When such a husband has Reft a child to be supported it is reasonable «nd right, that he should do his part toward the maintenance of that child: but the majority of women receiving Rliinony to-day seem to be' childless women, and Judge Guy makes many pertinent comments regarding these women, as follows: "In fixing permanent alimony it should be borne in mind that the liusband, although guilty of grave misconduct, is still a human being. 3f he is to be made the producing machinery for the support of the woman who is no longer his wife nnd who gives nothing in return, he must not lie assessed so heavily as to deprive him of all incentive to go on living and producing. He must be recorded the means not ony to go on living, but to find some enjoyment end compensation in life. "If he has not this opportunity, if the burden placed upon him is too grievous to be borne, all the incentive to labor is gone. When alimony is excessive it is likely to defeat its own object. It is better for the divorced wife to be granted moderate alimony which will be paid than excessive ali mony which probably will be avoided. "Any adult person who receives I benefits from another without wish ing and trying to return a full equiva lent, is grafting, whether such person he wife, child, husband, friend or stranger. Grafting is taking, without giving an honest equivalent. The women and grown children of our NEW v. M. c. A. BUILDING , Gettysburg, Pa., Jan. 29. —The ! TToung Men's Christian Association of!

A. in Higher Institutions of Learning to Be Co-ordinated (By Tlic Religious Rambler.) DEVELOPMENTS that re-ally count in the religious life of America arc not usually the ones th:it juake most noise upon their appear ance. Quietly, and without public notice, there assembled in Chicago a few days ago four conferences having to do with higher education and reli gion; and the actions taken are in tended to affect deeply and widely the educational and religious life of the nation. Vive definite results of these re lated gatherings may be stated. The first is a nation-wide campaign by the leading denominations to arouse the churches to the present critical con dition of the cause of Christian edu cation. The second is an agreement between the international Young Men's Christian Association and the denominational leaders that will co ordinate these two agencies in work for students at State universities. The third is the standardization of Chris tian colleges, so that no institution can claim public support as a college unless it meets certain uniform re quirements. The fourth is the launch ing of a new campaign, on an educa tional basis, for the introduction of the Hible into the public schools, and the adoption of a book of Hible se lections for this purpose. The fifth is the organization of a union of Presbyterian college presidents. The simultaneous presence in the one place of so many leaders in var ious forms of Christian education visualized the many agencies that are always quietly at work creating and strengthening the moral and religious life of the land. Some of the most fundamental of national questions never get into the newspapers. Thirteen of the greatest denomina tions were represented in the meeting of the council of the church boards of education, the most important of the Chicago meetings. Most of the State universities were represented in the conference of church workers in State universities. These comprised both Young Men's Christian Association officials and stu dent pastors. College presidents to the number of nearly two hundred formed an Association of American Colleges. The Presbyterian College Union was organized at the same time by the heads of institutions belonging to that denomination. They signalized their entrance into the educational world by advocating the consolidation of the college board and the board of edu cation of their church; and also by making a classification of their de nominational institutions that re quired scholarly courage. Uniting Work For sttidcnls If there lias not been friction of late years between intercollegiate Young Men's Christian Association secretaries and the "student pastors'' established at many State universities by the denominations, there has at least been a lack of cohesion and ad justment. There has not always been "team work" in the religious activi ties maintained for the students. Now the denominations and the Young Men's Christian Association are getting together on the ba sis of making the Young Men's Christian Association ii clearing house for all the religious activities of a university—ltoman Catholic and Jewish, as well as Prot estant. The association will give up it.! participation in athletics, leaving these to the students and to the uni versity authorities, and concentrating Its attention upon the strictly religious aspect of student needs. Only those in touch with American student life know what a great ad vance this action registers. It means that all Christian forces will present a united front In attacking the grave problem of the moral and religious life of the American students. A fur ther conference between the associa tion and denominational leaders is to be held in Cleveland on March 10. A Crusade For Christian Education I>ess immediate and concrete in In terest, but possibly of even greater magnitude is the campaign formu lated at the Chicago meeting for a nation-wide campaign in behalf of Christian education. These men are not theorists. They already are in possession of the machinery for mov ing all the churches in the land. They have access to practically every pul pit in America, and their recommen dations are followed by most pastors. The religious press stands squarely behind them. This involves a presentation of the case of the distinctively Christian col lege, but also of the necessity for Hible study and a religious atmos phere in all schools. Tt calls for a standardizing of all colleges of a distinctively Christian purpose, and from even this step the men in conference in Chicago did not shrink. Out of the rather chaotic conditions In American educational life, wherein inadequately staffed, in adequately equipped and inadequately financed institutions in great varietj are calling themselves colleges, an ef fort is being made to establish order and regularity. The new college as sociation requires fourteen hours' credits for entrance examinations, and one hundred and twenty hours' cred its for graduation. In tliis movement for standardiza tion the denominational institutions are following the example of the Car negie Foundation The latter, with its teachers' pensions, which are denied to colleges under church control, is a serious factor in the situation con fronting these distinctively Christian institutions. The Presbyterians at Chicago re ported a rigid classification for their colleges, which, while a severe indict ment of some Is a stimulus to all, be sides being an index to the Institu tion's character for prospective givers and students. Under the new order of things inaugurated at Chicago one will have something more than an in stitution's own advertisements and catalog to judge it by. Colleges, Schools and the Bible Considerable time was devoted by the council of church boards of edu cation to the consideration of an elaborate report upon the Bible in colleges, made by Dr. Joseph AV. Cochran, of Philadelphia. He stated that out of one hundred and fifty in stitutions of distinctively Christian foundation, fifteen did not teach the Bible at all, while only eighty main tained full professorships in Bible. In addition to stressing its convic tion of the need for teaching the Bible in public schools, and giving regular credits for work in it,- as in other subjects, these educators had before them a volume, prepared at their own direction, designed to meet the objections to the use of the Bible in public schools. It is called "Bible Stories and Poems" and is made up exclusively of Old Testament selec tion*. with appropriate psalms follow ing historical episodes. THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER. UUIMNGTON. WARRIOR-AUTHOR Now \clcno\vlcdged to Re One of Authors of "I.ondon Times Wnr History" There was a revelation the other day of the long-hidden identity of the "eyewitness" who has been sending authentic and exceedingly readable dispatches from the headquarters of General French, commander of the British forces in France. "Eye-wit ness" turned out to be a distinguished member of General French's personal staff, Col. E. D. Swinton. Now comes trickling through the censorship dike the news that one of the aggregation of experts who are contributing to the great "London Times History of the War" is no less a personage than that authority on military and political affairs. Lieut.- Col. Charles A'Court - Repington, ('. 11. G., commander of the < iriler of Leopold and officer of the Legion of Honor.

That Lieut.-Col. Reglngton is by no means exclusively a literary soldier, is proved by the facts that in the Af ghanistan campaign he won a service medal with three clasps each, indicat ing his having taken part in a separate and perilous expedition; that he was in the Burma campaign: that be was brevetted Ijteutenant-Colonel in the Soudan, mentioned twice in dispatches and won both British and Khedive's medals with three clasps, and that he was mentioned twice again in dis i patches in the Boer War, won another !three-clasp medal and became a Com panion of the Order of St. Michael and St. (ieorge.
