"Some Moral Problems of a tire it City" was the subject of an address Friday afternoon by Dr Tufts of the University of Chicago. The occa eiou was the meeting of the North western Philosophical Society. According to the speaker, until re cently men's efforts have been din-et ed toward symptoms rather than causes. One of the moral problem- is in determining who shall be born There are two currents in the citj one from the country and the othei the displacemenT of one race by an other. Three facts remain.

Miss Kel- ler was led on the stage and spoke for about twenty minutes. . Answered Questions. AfLer her talk she answored--ques- tions asked by the audience. Miss Keller made a favorable impression from the moment of her appearance, limes. ynn is a beautiful woman though her girlish figure and young face would give the impression that she was un- der twenty-five instead of being nearly thirty-four. The great audience had come to see a marvel, to see a woman who had from her nineteenth month been deaf and blind and who had been dumb until the genius of her teachers had penetrated the darkness of her life and taught her to talk. One who was from a little child helpless and forlorn, unseeing, un- speaking and unhealing, had become an educated, refined, talented woman, though still enveloped by the stone wall of these awful physical defects. Ii is true that her articulation iB im- perfect, that her intonations are not always pleasant but when one remem- bers that she has never heard the hu- man voice nor even seen the move-! ment of the human lips, it is wonder- ful that she has progressed so far and • there is hope that she may be able _ still further to modulate her voice. Q_ A Story Never Forgotten. The story Mrs. Macy had to tell will probably never be forgotten by anyone TThn treurd Tt. Helen Keller"was Trvtrrg a' Tiisciiinhia. Ala., with tier parents on a farm and when she was ti years of' i\y.< they .sent to Poston to the school . of 11*. Mind th.-ie for a teacher for the Mule ^iil Mis Macy, who was then Mi.-m \iine Mansileld Sullivan, was the only available person to si nd. She herself had bin recently been graduat- ed from the school but .an operation Iw.l restored sight to her. She left for; ; the Keller home at once and the first ; time she saw Helen was as she ap-' . proached the house where she lived.! Helen was standing in the doorway as j if waiting for someone. The father] i said "that sin- had been in that attitude! all day. As the teacher entered the i gate, the little six-year-old child, i though unhealing and unseeing, seemed1 to know of her arrival and she j rushed down the path and threw her-1 self with such violence upon Mrs.' Macy that she would have been thrown from her feet if the father had not! Iwen back of her. She immediately! felt her features and clothing and then j took the little hand satchel Mrs Macy carried. bored in this way and at the end of thirty days Helen had learned eigh- teen words. But she was confused i about some of them. She would get the meaning of "mug." "milk" and "drink" confused and did not under- stand the difference. One day when Helen was taking her bath, she splashed the water with her hands and the teacher immediately spelled water into her palm. That af- ternoon, the afternoon of the thirtieth day, Helen was with Mrs. Macy in the pump house. As the water flowed from the pump Mrs. Macy placed the child's hand in it and then spelled water. For the first time, it dawned! upon the child that water was the name of this fluid and that everything had a name. She pointed to the ground and that word was spelled into her hand. That day she learned thirty words and that night when she crept into Mrs."Mary's arms she for the first time kissed her of her own initiative. A Fine Career. As we have already suggested it is too long a story to tell of the advance of the little girl from this time of her education, of her going to college and winning a degree and of her tine career as a writer and thinker. In answering questions Miss Keller was at her best. Mrs. Macy would either spell them into her hands or Miss Keller would read them with her lingers to Mrs. Macy's mouth and throat as she talked. She was bright and trappy arrri at rimes--re-spoTrdetf- with a merry humor. When she was asked if flic played any musical in- strument, she replied.
