The colleges which hnvo agreed to ft

Vnssnr nud ywnrthmore. Thcro la a
niovement on foot to unify tho admis

The annual report of tho Commis
sioner of Education furnishes food for
reflection, showing as It docs that over
120 per cent of tho cntlro population is
enrolled In the elementary and second
ary schools, numbering lDl(Vt8,715, with
1U,733,:1G2 In nil the public schools.
This grand total Is satisfactory to tho
frlciuls of education and ought to con
fuse those who arc pessimistic about
the work the public schools arc doing.
Tho teachers of tho wholo country
have been watching with deep Interest
tho light of thu Chicago teachers for
an Increase of taxes through tho as
sessment of property not hitherto as
sessed, amounting to some millions. It
has been n game of win and lose, nnd
Just when It was thought they were
doomed to defeat something would
make success seem likelier, but at pres
ent It seems luuvltnblc that they hnvo
lost the fight Put after all, they have
fought for a principle, and have won In
a way, and there nro better times com
ing, nil because of tho heroic struggle
which they have made.
Congress does not approve of homo
study for growing children, nnd lu ac
cordance with Its recommendation tho
Hoard of Kducatlon of tho City of
Washington has decided thnt there
must be no home study In grades be
low the sixth. Commenting on this
action, the Missouri School Journal
says that "in thu opinion of 'many
thoughtful men muru children nro hurt
from thu lack of study than from too
much of It. If the children had fewer
things to study and gavu these more
thought both In school and nt homo tho
result would ho stronger nud mora sat
isfactory mental development." Thcro
Is also n movement on foot to rcduco
the minimum of outside work required
In thu seventh nud eighth grades. It
Is the dreary routine work thnt lessens
thu vitality of thu child, nud not tho
good, healthy Intellectual effort. Judg
ment on tho pnrt of tho teacher Is nil
thnt Is necessary to make homo study
a delight and an ntd to mental develop
ment Instead of n hindrance.
Tho public schools lu tho Philippines
will during tho yenr receive otllclal ns
Hletnnco' thnt must provo quite an Im
petus to their advancement. Tho Phil
ippine commission has under considera
tion a bill establishing n system of pub
lic education and appropriating il,
050,000 for tho maintenance during tho
year 1001. Tho general superintendent,
Dr. W. P. Atkinson, has had chnrgo
slnco Sept. 1, nud hns used his utmost
endeavor to systematlzo tho schools.
Gen. McArthur Indorsed tho bill, as
did, also, Gen. Otis. Through tho dis
trict commanders, theso Gcncrnls hnvo
reopened schools, furnished text books,
nnd supplied teachers, tunny of tho
hitter being soldiers. In localities
where money could bo raised by taxa
tion or local subscription It hns been
done. Tho bill empowers tho super
intendent to appoint, subject to tho
military Governor's approvnl, superin
tendents In each of tho eighteen 'dis
tricts, at salaries of from $2,000 to ?-.
r00. Local advisory boards nro to bo
orgnnlzcd lu tho municipalities ns civil
government becomes established. Eng
lish Is to be tho basis of all tho studies
and 300 teachers nro to bo secured
from tho United States, nt salaries of
from ?75 to ?100 per month. No ro
llglous denomination will bo nllowed
to tench Its particular faith lu schools,
partly or wholly, supported by tho pub
lie fund. Whero thero Is poverty, tho
necessary aid will bo furnished by tho
government, and ?:00,000 will bo ex

tonio Uarezzl, whose daughter he sub
sequently married, he was sent to Mllnu
to enter the conservatory there, ho was
refused admission on tho grouud that
ho "had no untural aptitude for mu
sic." Ho plnccd himself under the di
rection of u composer nnd In 18.TJ, nf tcr
yenrs of study, produced his first work,
which met with considerable success.
Ills second work wits n failure and for
a year Verdi retired to private life. In
1842 ho produced Nnbuco, which Im
mediately established his fame. ' In
1851 came the llrst of his masterpieces,

tho fame of Verdi will bo known to
posterity.
Verdi figured In politics for several
years. Ho was n deputy to tho llrst
Parliament of united Italy nnd lu 187C
was appointed a senator by Victor Em
manuel. Prom 1850 to 1800 his nnina
wns tho rallying cry In tho Itnllnn
struggle for freedom. It wns then
treason to shout "Vim Victor Emman
nolo, lto d' Italia" ("Llvo Victor Em
manuel, King of Itnly"), nnd when n
phrase was sought ns n sort of pass
word the people discovered that by
crying Viva Verdi they gnve utterance
to the Initial letters of tho forbidden
sentence.
VerdPs works nro numerous nnd
through them he acquired n handsome
fortune. To the Houso 'of Host for
Aged nud Indigent Musicians, which ho
founded, he gnve $200,000. He owned
a mngnlflccnt cstnto on the Bny of
Naples nnd another homo In Genoa.
Innumerable marks of royal favor were
bestowed upon him at nil tho great
courts of Europe.
