ABBOTT, for thirty-two years PresiIdent of The Outlook Company, has resigned that office to take over a position which he himself created when, in the autumn of 1908, he invited Theodore Roosevelt to become Contributing Editor of The Outlook. office of Contributing Editor has been vacant on The Outlook staff since Mr. Roosevelt withdrew in 1914. By a vote of the Directors of The Outlook Company, Mr. Lawrence F. Abbott will now assume this office. The change has been made in order to relieve Mr. Abbott from executive duties which have prevented him from devoting as much time as he has desired to literary pursuits. In Mr. Abbott's place the Directors of The Outlook Company have elected as President Harold T. Pulsifer, formerly Vice-President. Mr. Pulsifer was also chosen to serve as Managing Editor of The Outlook. Mr. Pulsifer became associated with The Outlook soon after his graduation from Harvard in 1911. He has been Literary Editor since the retirement of Hamilton W. Mabie, and a regular contributor to The Outlook both in the form of signed and unsigned articles. He is the author of a volume of poems entitled "Mothers and Men." His articles on angling with a barbless hook have been widely published and republished both in England and in this country. He is a member of the Council of the Authors Club of New York City, founded forty years ago by Stedman, Howells, Gilder, and men of that group. It is interesting to note that Mr. Pulsifer is a grandson of Lawson Valentine, who was from 1881 to 1891 President of the "Christian Union" (which became The Outlook in 1893) and a close associate and friend of Lyman Abbott, who was for forty-six years Editor-in-Chief of The Outlook. Ernest Hamlin Abbott, a son of Dr. Lyman Abbott, who has been for many years associated with The Outlook, has been elected by the Directors to fill the office of Editor-inChief. Mr. Abbott, who retains his position as Secretary of the Company, has served as a special editorial representative of The Outlook on many occasions of international import. The last two occasions of such character were the Peace Conference at Paris and the Arms Conference at Washington. He is the author of "Religious Life in America," "On the Training of Parents," "What They Did with Themselves," and numerous articles. He graduated from Harvard in 1893 and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1896. The election of Mr. Ernest Abbott implies no change in the editorial policy of The Outlook, for he has for twenty years been associated with his father and his brother in its editorial management. OUTLOOK Century Expanded," can be graphically illustrated by the insertion of a "slug" from our former type: This is the type in which The Outlook was formerly printed. Something of The Outlook's spirit and method in the past and of our plans for its future may be learned from an editorial from the pen of the new Editor-in-Chief, which appears elsewhere in this issue. THE EDITORS. INTERNATIONAL GOLF REAT BRITAIN, the mother of golf, still holds the amateur championship of that extraordinary popular sport. Perhaps some purists who insist that the primitive origin of the game was in Holland might p prefer to call Great Britain the stepmother of golf. However that may be, the game, its nomenclature, its rules, and its final arbiters, are almost wholly Scotch. Golf has been played in Scotland for nearly five hundred years. It naturally spread into England, where, however, it has become really popular only during the last fifty years. Thirty-five years ago it was literally unknown in the United States. But to-day there are probably two or three times as many golf clubs and golf players in the United States as in all of the rest of the world combined. Nevertheless the amateur golf champion of Great Britain is universally regarded as the amateur golf champion of the world. The honor, although more than once contended for by Americans, has been held only once by an American, Walter J. Travis. This spring a team of American amateurs, including Sweetser, our present amateur champion, and Ouimet, a former champion, visited England with the determination of repeating Travis's victory. In the team were included a Californian and a Texan. The contest took place.at Deal, on the southeast coast of England, near the historic cathedral city of Canterbury. The American golfers raised great hopes among their followers by capturing the St. George's Vase, a famous golf trophy, at Sandwich, a week before the championship games. Sandwich has terrors for the golfer which cannot be paralleled even at St. Andrews or Prestwick, and if America could win at Sandwich a good many enthusiasts were optimists enough to believe that Deal would be "easy fruit." But that did not prove to be the case by a good deal. Sweetser fell early in the fray. Ouimet lasted until the semi-finals, where he was put out by Roger Wethered, a young Oxonian, who ultimately won the championship. J UDGE BEN B. LINDSEY, head of Denver's famous Juvenile Court, has won his long fight for child legislation and secured for the State of Colorado what its advocates consider the most advanced children's code in the world. The story of the long fight of the famous "Children's Judge❞ to secure adequate laws for the judicial handling of the problems of childhood as they relate to the State is one of the most remarkable in the annals of American reform. It began over twenty years ago, and has been an unending battle until the present hour. Woven into that fight is the personality and career of Theodore Roosevelt, always the stanch friend of the Denver Judge and a profound sympathizer with his purpose. Year after year saw Judge Lindsey thwarted in his attempt to get through the laws he desired. One Legislature after another defeated them or killed them in committee. When the last General Assembly met, both political parties had at last indorsed his laws in their platforms. The Legislature was Republican, and in Governor Sweet Colorado has a progressive Democrat of broad, humanitarian ideas. The Legislature of 1923 adopted four bills drawn by Judge Lindsey. Two of these bills raise the age of delinquency and dependency from sixteen to eighteen-in other words, extend the right of the State in its Chancery Court capacity to help children up to eighteen instead of to sixteen, as originally permitted by the law in 1899. Of the other two bills one is known as the Maternity Law. It is an amendment to the bill relating to the dependency of children and extends the provisions of the former act, popularly known as the Mothers' Compensation Law, to unborn children; that is to say, some friend of the child may apply to the Chancellor as if saying: Since a child is about to come into the world, you, Mr. State, may use it as a soldier, if a boy, or as a nurse, if a girl, in case you are imperiled by war, and, since that child's mother is poor or otherwise handicapped, we ask you, Mr. State, to provide the funds necessary to take care of the mother and to provide doctor and other expenses to give that child a decent chance to be born, lest it be imperiled by the danger of death or the death of its mother through her poverty, her sinfulness, or her ignorance. This is, so far as we know, the first law of this kind passed in any State, and credit must go to Colorado for leading in the fight for this principle. The other bill amends the present act creating the Juvenile Court of Denver so as to restore the jurisdiction given it when it was originally established as a separate court. Judge Lindsey's purpose was that an ideal Children's Court should be one that not only specialized in correcting children as to physical and moral defects, but also protected children against all persons-parents or others. This bill gives the special court in Denver, over which Judge Lindsey presides, exclusive jurisdiction in all cases which concern children proper, and COordinate jurisdiction with other courts in criminal cases against adults who violate laws for the protection of children. Thus it is that Judge Lindsey's ideals are now to be positively and finally achieved, after twenty-five years of service, through a tribunal that specializes in the correction, care, and protection of children. The Legislature provided under this new law that the Court should be called a Family Court, since it embraces practically everything relating to children and to the family and adults who have any relation to children. It becomes, its supporters believe, the first ideal family court in this Union. ELIOT, TEACHER T HE gold medal bestowed on May 7 by the Civic Forum at New York City's Town Hall on Charles W. Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard University, bore on its reverse the single word."Teacher." These medals are awarded for distinguished public service, and the use of the one word is a significant tribute to the breadth of Dr. Eliot's service to the country through education in the broadest sense of the word; it is not as a specialist, or as an instructor, or as the head of one great university, but as an educational leader of National usefulness that Dr. Eliot receives this token of recognition. The presentation of the medal was made by Dr. John H. Finley. The recipient was not able to be present in person, but was represented by his grandson, Charles W. Eliot, 2d, who accepted the medal and read a gracious letter of acknowledgment from Dr. Eliot. Mr. Jerome D. Greene, a close personal friend and associate of the educator, brought a message from him, reiterating his "ineradicable faith in democracy, and faith in the efficacy of the education of the entire people." Mr. James Byrne eulogized the man and educator, Eliot, and quoted his famous watchword of humanity: that "an intelligent public opinion is the one indispensable condition for social progress." Mr. Edward S. Martin, a member of the first class of Harvard University to graduate under Dr. Eliot's presidency, read a poem.. Elihu Root said that if there were a peerage of democracy the scholar Eliot would receive therein a high title from the sincere gratitude of a great people. Mr. Root referred to Dr. Eliot as a profound thinker and discerner of the facts of public life, and consequently as one equipped to be a leader of opinion at a time when the facts of life have become increasingly difficult to learn and the task of progress vastly more arduous of fulfillment. on National expenditures alone. That might be an oversight, but Secretary of War Weeks declares that the figures put out by what he calls pacifist organizations are not at all in line with the true figures, and he warns patriotic persons who aid this kind of propaganda that they are likely to find themselves aligned with the enemies of the Republic. "These people," says Secretary Weeks, referring to those responsible for widespread circulation of misleading statistics, "include those forces in America who are preaching revolution and Communistic government, and also those who seem to believe that any Army and Navy is unnecessary." Unfortunately, he continues, these elements, which constitute a very small minority of the people, are supported by considerable bodies of patriotic citizens. Good men and women, he says, lacking information of the true situation and apparently unwilling to be governed by the experiences of the past, are lending themselves to an effort to reduce, if not to destroy, the military safeguards of the Nation. One of the things to which the Secretary directs attention is a bulletin recently put out by the so-called National Council for the Prevention of War. It contains a chart, purporting to have been "officially prepared," undertaking to show that eighty-five per cent of the National Budget for 1924 will go "for past and future wars. As a fact, says the Secretary, only 13.5 per cent of the Budget for 1924 will be used for National defense. If there were included as military expense all of the interest on the public debt, all money paid for retirement of the public debt, and all money paid for military pensions, retirement pay, and life insurance, the total would constitute only sixty-seven per cent of the Budget for 1924 instead of eighty-five per cent, as the so-called "official" statement claims. It is obviously an injustice, as Secretary Weeks points out, to include all of these items under the head of mili tary expense. It is unjust even to consider as military expense all of the money appropriated for the maintenance of the Army and Navy. The Army performs many duties not military in character. Out of the money appropriated to the Army nearly $43,000,000 goes to improvement of rivers and harbors and more than $4,000,000 to the maintenance of the Panama Canal. In the latter case, as in several others, returns greatly ex Their comparative figures are based ceed outlay. 1 One of the gravest and most insidious among the unjust features of the statement exposed by Secretary Weeks is the declaration that, while the National Government spends eighty-five per cent of its Budget for war, it spends only two per cent for research, education, and development. Under our system of government, it is neither necessary nor desirable that the National Government spend tremendous sums for education. States, counties, and municipalities paid most of the money for education, but they paid nothing at all for the Army and Navy. The latest available figures, those for 1919, show that the expenditures for education in the United States were more than twice as large as those for the Army and Navy. A similar showing could be made for most other civil functions. The framers of our dual system of government thought it wise and the judgment of the present generation coinIcides with theirs-that the National Government be exclusively charged with National defense, and that the great bulk of civil functions remain in the State governments. That arrangement furnishes the best system of government, but it offers opportunity for the propagandist who seeks to mislead. AND THE PUBLIC PAYS TO KEEP COAL MINES IDLE TH HE unions are curtailing coal production, says the General Policies Committee of the anthracite, operators, by fixing an arbitrary limit on the number of cars any miner may load in a day. This, says the Committee in a brief filed with the United States Coal Commission, is in direct violation of the formal agreement between anthracite operators and miners, a general clause of which recites that there shall be no limitation of production. The miners' side of the case has not been stated. They will probably counter by saying that the real violation of the formal agreement came from the operators and that their arbitrary restriction of daily loadings is in selfdefense. The third interested party, the consumer, will remain in doubt while he is crushed between the upper and the nether plates of the breaker at the anthracite mine. A normal day's output before the suspension of 1922, the Committee says, ran from eight to twelve cars. The union limit now runs, it is said, from four to six cars for the various veins, with the result that the highest output of any man is only half what |
