On the general results of tho experiments made tho writer says: "Such experience with defectives cannot but point to broader conclusions as to the cart and edu cation of children in general. That delicate and back ward children can accomplish In far loss, sometimes In half, tha time tho task of ordinary school children, raises tho question as to whether rimllar methods In ele mentary school Instruction might not bo adopted to tho benefit of all school children.

This actually happened In Mindanao, Tho story wns told to mo by tho army surgeon himself. Ho was seated In his tent one morn Ing when a number of the followers ol tho Button of Pantar camo hurrying to him, saying tho Sultan was dying of cholera. 'Aided by tho slight knowl edge he bad then had of their lan guage, tho surgeon diagnosed tho cast from .their reports as a well-nigh hope less onn. Still, anxious to show the skill and friendliness ot tho Ameri can for the Mora brothor, ho hastily made up six powders, each containing one-sixth of a grain ot morphine and thirty grains ot btamutb. These he gave to tho emissaries, telling them o giro the Sultan one of them In a glass ot boiled water every three hours and to report to him next morning how tho patient wns getting along, The next morning the surgeon was more than surprised to see the Sultan himself walk Into tho tent. Wan and weak as he was, he had come some eight miles to thnnk the surgeon per sonally for having saved his life, and had brought with him ono of his sub jects who spoke Spanish welt enough to servo as an Interpreter. It wns through this Interpreter that tho surgeon learned how his directions had been followed. First, they had given tho entire atx powders to tht Sultan nt one doae n full grain ot morphlno and 180 grains or bismuth nnd then had poured a tumhlorful ot bolting water Into him every throe hours afterward, scalding his mouth .nnd throat ao that he could hardly spwvk.
