Tbs drill in schools is considered a mistaken policy from the standpoint o f the army itself. T o moke this si part o f our school system would but add to our already overcrowded curric ulum and to no pareóse. Such training leads to superficiality and promotes an unwholesome egotism and petty nation al spirit. Many plead that it disci plines to obedience, but its type o f obedience is that o f the slave. . A form er officer o f the British army, now a good citixen, and no fanatic, says: “ D rill mokes boys wooden.” T h etis, they lose their individuality and initiative. I f indeed it w ere o f the physical ben efit its advócales claim fo r it, it is op posed to the purpose o f our school sys tem, in that it excludes girls. Besides, it ir stated on good authority, the us ual experience o f m ilitary schools fo r boys is that the rigid discipline o f this part o f their training is acompanied by relaxed discipline in everything else. The kind o f discipline needed fo r boys is the discipline that comes from with in.

Here from time immemorial prayers have been ad dressed to the deities o f the Shinto pantheon, numbering nearly 14,000, and on certain occasions there ore ceremonial dances. The imperial Shinto temple of Yamada, in the province of Ise, is •aid to be nearly 3,000 years old. The present construction is mod ern, for the temple hss been re built many times. Ksshima shrine dates bock to 660 B. C. The ancient Shinto shrine was a simple affair, and the modem Shin to temples are all built in the same archaic style of architecture. The typical shrine is an oblong building, usually not of massive proportions. It is without windows and has a steep overhanging roof. There is lattice work above the door. The front is thy gable end, with a queer peaked facade and fantastic projec tions of beamwork above its gable angle. The structure is of unpaint ed wood, and its color soon turns to somber gray. As the years pass it gets a weird, ghostly appearance. Indeed, the Shinto snrine has been called a “ghost house,” haunt ed by the spirits of the ancestors of the pious worshipers. A t a solemn service held in their honor the souls of the departed are imagined to he present, and these unseen witnesses, though voiceless, are supposed to look on with approval and satisfac tion while rites are performed in their remembrance. Th e Japanese sanctuary is known as a miya or yashiro. It is some times guarded by stone lions and shadowed by a holy grove. Here and there shrines have been erected on the swelling crests o f the grand est mountains in Japan, and to these high places bands o f white robed pilgrims make religious ex cursions, traveling on foot.

BAIRD | In China there is a strong belief that spots in rivers, creeks and ponds where people have been drowned are haunted by specter* who spring out upon the unwarv and drown them. Should the hauntings become very frequent the spirits are exorcised. This ceremony* consists in the decapitation o f a white horse bv a specially selected executioner on the site o f the haunt ings. The head o f the slaughtered animal is placed in an earthenware jar and buried in the exact spot where it was killed, which spot is carefully marked by the erection of a stone tablet. Hot and Cold. Albert, very young, waa fascinat ed by the new piano. His older sis ter took lessons and was at present much concerned wHfr the intricacies o f the soft pedal and the loud pedal. A lbert had to content himself with drumming and personal investiga tions. One day his mother found him down on the floor underneath the keyboard fingering the pedals. “ What are you doing, Albert?” she asked, with natural curiosity. “ I couldn’ t reach these kettles, so I had to get down to feel which was hot and which was cold,” said A l bert.— New York Post.
