Some hlghlj interesting statistics relative to the inefllclenry of the pub lic schools of the United States are lurnished In an article contributedto the North American Review by Charles W. Larned of the West Point .jnllitary academy. Candidates for ihe academy are drawn from every congressional district In the country and largely from the class of citizens "who send their children to the prim- r ary and high schools supported by vtbe states. "Ab tiow established the standard for entrance requires of all candi dates, besides the physical examina tion, A written examination In the following subjects: Elementary al gebra, plane geometry, English Tjrammar, English literature and composition of elementary character, United States history, general history ..and geography. Xone of the require--nients are 'beyond those of the com - mon and 'high schools. Reforrlng to the first application of . thU standard, which took place in March of the present year, Mr. Larn ijil says the result"? show a "pathetie 'commentary on the public school methods." There were 314 candi dates examined. The examinations are written, and it is asserted abun dant time is given for their comple tion. Yet out of the 314 who took the examination 2G5 failed In one xr more subjects that Is, made a mark below the normal minimum of 'CC. Fifty-six failed in one subject 'only, 01 In two, 50 in three, 42 in .lour, 27 in IHe and 20 failed In all ".subjects. " Examining the failures by subjects, dt appears from Mr. Larned's figures (that 151 failed in algebra, 237 in geometry, 129 in grammar, 144 In composition and literature, 73 in -geography and o 1 in history. It is 'further shown that the weakness of -the eCicoI system, bo far as demon- tri "(1 by these results, is not a iiinttnr Of localitj. Deficiencies are shovu !.i candidates from all parts jj the country. Twenty-two were vramlncd from Massachusetts and 10 ..failed; 12 from Illinois and 10 failed; .' 9 from Alabama and C failed. So nn, all through the list of states. TJio si owing Is a sorry one from -viiatevcr standpoint viewed. Of the -.1 4. examined 295 had been educated in pub!!" schools, the average num . hor r-r jonra of attendance being uerry 10 yean: Tor crch. The avor Tji&e jittondnm in high schooli was three yc-.d three months, and la h'rum'.ar -cheols six year's eight -rpjuts Yet, with all th's schooling, -tlie examinations at West Point show ed 81 icr cent of t'.io candidates "failed in at least one subject, a fetato of affairs Justifying tho remark that: our educators "should sit up and take motlco."

S., Xo. 33, proved to be one of the most unique and novel enter tainments of the season. Originally a satirical comedy based on the Sprinster's ambitions in the mascu line direction It developed Into an amateur vaudeville skit in which each of the characters contributed a turn. From the opening srene, a Marshfleld street on a busy day, In which the part of Marshal Carter was successfully portrajed by himself, until tile closing hypnotic act, the audience gave abundant evidence of appreciation by generous ap plause. The varied characters of the features scarcely permits Individual analysis of the entertainment which pleased the audience and added to the laurels of the ladies of Doric Chapter. Tlie following is the cast of char acters: Josephine Jane Green Solforno, pres- ident Mrs. Kate Lando Priscilla Abigal Dodge, secretary.
