The talk upon the subject, how ever, has not lessened the hold that the old established custom lias upon the schools, for the study- of those languages is made the prom inent feature of the college course just as much as it ever was. One positive writer goes after the custom in the following strong' language : "The fact is that the studv of the classics is a tradition handed down from-one generation ot conservative school men to sinother. It is outworn, superflu ous and useless. All that is good in the classic writings that have come down to us, and much that is not, was translated Ions: ago, and there is neither wisdom nor wit in forcing a youth to spend me most important part oi ins i student career in learning thaj which will be of no use to him in after life. "On the other hand, there are plenty of modern languages for which he will have use during all his life, and which he will study with zest because he knows that lie can use them. The young man who has a knowledge of French or German is worth more in almost any business than one who knows only English far more than one who has spent his time in gaining the smattering of Greek and Latin, which is all that he will get of those languages at college. One who knows Spanish is ready to do business in the new-old country to the south of us, which is just be ninnniir to open its doors to Amer ican enterprise. If he has learned Japanese, even, there is a field ready for him across the Pacific. Not a modern language but can be urned to account by its possessor. Not an ancient one that .will fit him ' for anything but a professorship in j some school, where be will have to work excessively hard to train either competence or renown.'' "Let the dead past bury its dead languages and lef the education of ; modern youth be such as to fit them for the times in which they must live." The inferences of this writer perhaps are too strongly taken, but they mav awaken thought and action upon the subject and lead to more practical rtsults. The strong claim for the old course. is that it gives the best and surest mental discipline that can be had. But a thorough analysis of the subject might, perhaps, suggest some other and more practical course of study that would give just as thorough a mental dis cipline as does the dead language course. The tendency of the times is to utilize every educa tional advantage and make it effective for practical every day life. AVe are apt to stii k too close to the old ruts into which our early training has led us. There is a kind of savings banks for girls in Germany which mhiht well he imitated in other countries. "We mean the so-called "Spark assen," closely akin, in the United States, for instance, to what is known as the endowment plan in American life insurance companies. On the birth of a girl, parents in moderate circumstances can insure her in one of these savings banks for a sum that will give the child, on the completion of her eighteenth year, a smaM capital to start in life with, i. e., to follow a profession or finish her sftidies, or, a the case may be, to serve as a dower in the event of her marriage. Of course the parents pay a fixed an nual premium to the company, j which invests the stipulated sum j in securities, real estate, etc., and see to it that, investments yield a fair interest, which is compounded, or that the real estate increases in value, so thai by the time the girl arrives at years of discretion, she j may find herself mistress of a snug little fund to enable her to get on without calling for assist ance upon her parents, to whom the comparatively light annual premium has scarcely proved a burden. One of the best of these model institutions, well managed, thoroughly safe, and under excel lent surveillance, is the well known Wilhelms Casse, named thus after its imperial patron, the Emperor William. Lamab received his confirmation, as justice of the supreme court, 'by the senate from Stanford, of California. Stewart, of Nevada, and Riddleberger, of Virginia, voting with the democrats for him. The Washington territory legis lature passed the woman suffrage bill in the lower house, as it was adopted in the upper house, by a vote of fourteen to nine. Now for Sem pie's veto. Ix the United States there is one divorce to about every twenty-five marriages, while in France there is only one to every one hundred and fifty marriages. Discoveries, inventions and compounds patented each year in the United States and never Amounting to anything, cost $3, X0,000. There are now 2:,000 less Trisii soldiers in the British army than there were twenty years ago. Englishmen have taken their places. The American missionary asso ciation recently in session at Prrt land, Me., was addressed by an Apa(,he Indian. A century ago there was a i native iopulation of 400,000 in the llawxiian islands; now there are only 40,000. Kepokts continue to swell the number of death from freezing in the states east of the Uockies. It is said England expends nearly $5,000,000 yearly to main tain her spy system in America.
