ONLY ONE LEMON.
"The New Basis of Education," an
article in the Journal of Education,
gives a saggestive outline of the ad
justments which school training, must
$3-59 ! make to the changing needs of the
$7.00 . time. Emphasis is placed on the
change in our industrial system and
the change in our educational stand
ards which this makes necessary. .
Dimly we realise that something is
wrong. Children who are destined for j
the mill and the foundry are treated
as though they were going to college
Boys who will be mechanics and girls
who will be housewives are tossed into
the hopper with those destined to be
lawyers or doctors. Manual training is
an attempted answer to the problem of
the day the problem of training chil
dren for the life they are to lead. It,
however, is but half an answer.
The chautauqua management this
year drew but' one lemon in all the
talent used during the session. That
lemon was a man by the name of Wal
ter Holcomb, who lectured; no, not
lectured just talked at random on
"the Horse Race." Never have we
before witnessed a man who presumed
to go in chautauqua company have the
Serve of this man; never have we
heard a talk that was as poorly con
nected, that lacked foundation, that
reflected the inability of the speakei
more than this effort of Holcomb's.
How he ever got into the chautauqua
booking is a mystery; how he stays is
more of a mystery-
Holcomb's "horse race" talk could
be well described in horseman's lan
guage as follows: "Apparently non
registered for not being standard by
production, the speaker led off with
a 'single foot', hitting his boot be

as the cause of lupus is from impurities

method of cure is to get the blood sup

quite remarkable and has direct Influ

Xot one drop of minerals or drugs is

In this world there is enough for

do not equip everybody for the job
of getting their share. Some dav
! when we do give everybody iust as
much equipment as they can handle
we will take the fractional minority
that remains the hopelessly ineffi
cient and keep them in confinement
as today we keep lunatics. Before any
such penalty will be meted out, how
ever, we will give all those suspecterd
of inefficiency the benefit of a sen
tence to the nearest school.
TEACHING SEX HYGIENE.
It would be well for every city in
the country to follow the lead of the
Chicago board of education, which
plans to have sex hygiene taught in
the high schools beginning with the
j noxt term. Some will argue that home
! is trre proper place for children to
j learn the mysteries of nature and per
haps it is the best place but offsetting
thi trgument is the fact that it is
not being taught in the home. Much
of -the vice prevalent in the world is
the result of inexcusable ignorance
Certain knowledge comes to all young
people and when it comes from im
proper sources it is usually tainted
with, salacious and vicious suggestion
When there is no restraint upon the
street. ! j
It is possible that Martial exaggerat- ;
ed. but it is certain that Augustus, to jj
make less 'refluent the oct-urrence of '
disasters, limited the heicht of new
houses that opened upon the streets to
atKint sixty-eight feet. As this was a
remedial regulation and referred only
to now houses fronting on the street,
it follows that some houses must have
exceeded that height.
This, moreover, was Irrespective of
the breadth of the street. In Berlin the
medium width f the streets is twenty
two meters, mid in Paris the narrow
est streets are nearly eight meters
wide, while the streets of Rome ex
tended only five or six meters, aud on
these narrow streets the tall houses
were built. I.icht and air must have
had some difficulty in penetrating those
narrow, walled In passages.
