NEEDS OF POPULAR EDUCATION IN AMERICA. j
By William Da Wilt Hyde. President ot Bowdoln College.
Education aims to train me iutu iu u i
thlngs-to earn a living, to support the Institu
tion of society, and to enjoy the products of art
and civilization by the cultivation of the mind
and taste. This standard requires of the elemen
tary school, first of all. to preserve the child in
vigorous health. It calls for power of hand and
eye to appreciate and make beautiful objects.
Heading should teach not only how to read, but
also the reading habit. Arithmetic should De restricted 10
limits of probable utility for the average person, ueogra
phy should start with actual observation of phenomena.
History should grow out of myth and biography into the
story of national life, and should teach the way liberties
were won. Mere memory should noiu an mciuemui uuu
subordinate place.
The power to tell a connected story ana to trace me
sequence of cause and effect should be the chief aim of
recitation. Science should be training In observation, rea
soning and aroused curiosity.
Promotion should be frequent and Irregular, with en
couragement and opportunity to bright scholars to skip the
lower grades. Examinations should be a test or power
Instead of mere acquisition. Discipline should rest on
freedom, assuming right Intentions and appealing to reason
and good will. This new curriculum Is at length theoret
ically accepted. The difficulty is to get the teachers, for
the new spirit requires knowledge and character years
In advance of the pupil. A good teacher with a poor course
Is better than a poor teacher with a good course. As it Is
to-day, the public school Is vastly better than the elongated
private kindergartens which cater to the children of the
rich. The American public high school emancipated from
narrow college domination in the substance, yet inspired
by college examinations In the quality of its courses, Is
destined to play a leading part In ranking America the land
of Intelligent workmen, loyal citizens, and happy people.
A system which gives to the child the keys to the treas
ure house of the whole world, which opens the mystery
of plant and animal, and ca and star; which watches fSr
the bent of each child; which seeks for highly trained worn
en and men s teachers; which goes behind the lorms of
words and grasps details In their larger significances; which
seeks to Inspire love of beauty and goodness lu each mem
ber of a class. Is a magnificent improvement over the old
order of things.
Is that women are overanxious for results. Time la a great
tax upon their patience. Tbey are, as a rule, In too great
a hurry to begin making money, and therefore prefer to
make a little quickly rather than wait for the larger re
sults which come more slowly.
Still another reason for the lower wages of women is
that most of them are not compelled as the men are to go
to work. It is for this reason, too, that they do not save
any considerable portion of their earnings for they look
upon their weekly wages as spending money and are there
fore quite free with It. Then their presence In the shop
or the factory calls for better accommodations, which nec
essarily increases the expense of conducting, a business.
Still we are of the opinion that It will not be long before
women will become thoroughly acclimated In the world of
outdoor work and not only command higher wages for
themselves but also by their presence make the struggle
for existence a little less fierce.
Ivy Poisoning. A simple and effec
tual remedy for ivy poisoning Is said
to be sweet spirits of nitre. Bathe the
affected parts two or three times dur
ing the day and the next morning
scarcely any trace of the poison will
remain.
Taking Salts. The best way to take
salts is to use Just enough water to
dissolve them completely. Have a sec
ond glass full of water. Drink two
large swallows of water, then take the
salts quickly, drink the remainder of
the water In the other glass and the
salts will not be tasted.
Pulmonary Complaints. Iehthyol
has frequently been employed in the
treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis
with gratifying results. Administer It
diluted with an equal quantity of wa
ter In doses of five to twenty drops
thrice dally In wine or black coffee as
a vehicle after moals. Iehthyol Is per
fectly non-toxic and Is not injurious to
the digestive organs. The appetite Is
likely Improved under the use of this
remedy. Annoying night-sweats are re
lieved, tho cough quieted and fever re
duced. Iehthyol mny be recommend
ed os an efficient substitute for creo
sote and Its derivatives In tho treat

WORE RINGS ON HER TOES.
SEES PERIL TO LABOR.
By Bishop Henry C. rotter, ot New York.
The conditions which confront the
people of America to-day are lurgely
of their own making. I believe the
folly of the labor organizations In sev
eral Instances has alienated a great
deal of the sympathy that would other
wise have gone to them. One thing we
must realize Is that the community is
not made up of either laborers or cap
italists, but rather of those between
ivho are very lurgely affected by these
differences.
The time may come when organized
labor may make Itself so unpleasant
that It may not be able to stay in New
York. The great stumbling block in organized labor is that
the freedom of the Individual Is invaded and that has got
to be corrected.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PERSON TO MARRY.
By Helen Oldtle'd.
Love matches, rather than marriages of con
venience, are the rule In tne Laud of Freedom.
Men seek women because they feel n sincere
affection for them; women marry men for the all
sufficing reason that life seems to them better
and richer if it may be lived together. And un
doubtedly love U the first requisite to a happy
marriage. Nevertheless, the ancients were not
without reason when they painted Cupid with a
bandage around his eyes. Love matches are sometimes less
happy thnn others where the affection between man and
wife has for its foundation calm esteem and cordial respect.
The best way Is to be wise In time and not to allow the
heart to plunge In too deeply until the head has approved,
Mercenary marriages are a mistake. When money is the
solo attrnctlpn the person who is bought and sold has no
right to complain later.
It Is safe to distrust persons who, even among their
own kindred, take all they can get and give as little as
possible In return. The girl who Is an affectionate and
dutiful daughter, who Is beloved of her small brothers and
sisters, and the confidant of all their troubles jind triumphs,
may be safely counted upon as a true helpmeet to her hus-
band; the man who la always thoughtful of his mother
and attentive to his sisters can be reckoned upon to duly
cherish his wife. According to Scripture It Is difficult for
two to walk together except they be agreed. Similarity of
tastes and Inclination go far to foster happiness In married
life. Whosoever marries a man of Indubitably bad habits,
hoping to reform him, makes a woeful mistake. The man
who will not forsake his evil ways for love of his sweetheart
will never do so for love of his wife. The old saying.
Marry in haste and repent at leisure," Is wise, as are most
old saws. Time brlngeth counsel, .and hasty Judgments are
rarely worthy the name. Much of the unhapplness which
exists In married life might be avoided If persons intend
ing to enter Into the holy estate of motrlmony were wise
enough to wait to become well acquainted with each other
before going baud in hand through Its gate.
BISHOP POTTER.
WHY WOMEN GET LOWER WAGES THAN MEN.
By H. M. Mangasarlan, Lecturer Chicago ethical Society,
There are psychological reasons for the lower
wages of women. In the world of outdoor labor
woman Is, comparatively speaking, still a novice,
having but recently Joined the ranks of the
bread winners. Women do not take kindly to
learning a trade thoroughly before seeking em
ployment. Lacking business judgment, they hes
itate to Invest either the time or the money re
quired to master details. In fact, most women
undertake a trade or a profession with no idea of making
It their life work, but as only a temporary occupation
until something better turns up. This "something better"
for the majority of women Is marriage, Again, woman's
nervous temperameut stands In the way of her success as
eoloborer with or a competitor of man. To do prosaic
work steadily day In and day out requires stronger nerves
than the average woman Is favored with. Another reason

MORE ARE GOING TO CHURCH.
By Rer. Dr. Donald S. Hackay. ot New York.
More thoughtful. Intellectual men are going to
church in New York to-day than there were ten
years ago. On the other hand, proportionately
fewer women are attending church than former
ly. That is especially so among women of leisure
and the so-called society woman, for whom the
Sabbath Is crowded with social engagements. It
Is 'also true largely of the wage-earning woman
Succeaa and Failure,
Unless we are color-blind, we nil can
dee the seven colors lu the rainbow.
That Is ordinary eyesight; and out of
even ordinary eyesight we get a great
deal of pleasure. But perhaps we
all do not realize how the power of
eyesight may be enlarged by careful
training. The tapestry workers of
France, for Instance, by continued
practice, loam to distinguish different
shades of the same color In a truly
marvelous way. Someof these men
and women, by actual experiment, can
perceive 1,500 different shades of a
single color, and combine them In won
derful harmonies. Their eyes are or
dinary human eyes, like those of other
people; but they have trained their
sight until it becomes almost unbe
lievably perfect. Their work Is price
less, because they have raised an or
dinary possession into an extraordi
nary endowment.
There lies the secret of success and
failure In human lives. We fail, not
because our qualities are ordinary, but
because we let them remain so. . Suc
cess means "to do the ordinary thing
extraordinarily well," as some one has
put It. The more we train our minds,
the more valuable we become to God
and to man. Training takes time, takes
thought, takes drudgery, takes sacri
fice; but It Is worth them all,-because
It enlarges our powers day by day.
Where the untrained worker can see
and weave but a dozen shades, the
trained one rises from a score to a
hundred, a hundred to a thousand
and rises In value, too, all the while.
Extraordinary power In ordinary
things means sure and stable success,
If we are working toward this, we are
working wisely. If not, we are more
likely to fall than to succeed. For
ward.
eyes except those of heaven are upon
it
Not education, but character. Is
man's greatest safeguard.
He who always complains of the
clouds receives little of life's sunshine,
and deserves less.
Good actions crown themselves with
lnstlng days; who deserves well, needs
not another's praise.
Whatever we are that Is good we
owe In great measure to the opinion of
those with whom we associate.
There Is no power on earth should
Induce a woman to accomplish any-,
thing whatsoever, except In so doing
she con cling to her best womanhood.
It takes expert skill and faithful
pains to keep rose bushes and good
motives free from ruinous vermin, but
the flow-ers and character that reward
success do it gloriously.
If we keep ourselves quite where our
lot has been cast, and .do the duties
appointed us, we shall find that things
seek us In a wonderful manner. It is
when we go out of our way to seek
them that we miss what we most de
sire to find, or finding the letter of
our hopes, we miss the spirit.
The only conclusive evidence of a
man's sincerity Is that he gives him
self for a principle. Words, money,
all things else are comparatively easy
to give away; but when a man makes
a gift of his dally life and practice
It Is plain that the truth, whatever It
may be, has taken possession of him.

Queer Appellations Heetowed on tha

According to Modern Mexico, the
street names of Mexico are something
really appalling to the newcomer. Bor
Instance, there Is the Heart of Jesus
street and the Street of the Holy
Ghost; Ave Maria street and the Ave
nue of the Love of God. Others are
the Street of the Saint of the True
Cross, the Arches of Bethlehem and
the Graves of Saint Sunday street; the
Bridge of Saint Peter and Saint Paul,
and the Street of the Crosses of Sor-
row.
Not only are the names of the
streets unusual but they are often la
the most Incongruous locations. For
instance, If you walk down Jesus
street nnd continue In the second block
you will be startled to find that you
are then on the Street of the New
Slaughter House. The Alley of the
Egg and Potato street are Just as like
ly to be the prolongation of the Back
of Saint Teresa street as any other.
The Street of the Seven Princes may
no longer be Inhabited by royalty, but
the Avenue of Illustrious Men was
named for real persons. The Street of
the Lost Child derived Its name from
a popular tradition, but the Avenue
of the Fifth of May was named for a
famous battle with the French.
There are the Street of the Little
Bird. Street of the Fish. Bull street
and Goat street and streets of tho
Fleas, Rats arid Roosters. Then there
are the streets named for various
tradesmen, as the streets of the Hat
ters, Tobacconists, Coachmen, Milk
men, etc. One short block glories In
the name of the Street of the False
Entrance of St. Andrew. The Alley
of the Little Candle Shop, the Street of
