The speculation IN Stocks which IN the begin

marked by dulness, without however such de-

subsequently recovered, amid lively dealings, to

1T HAS BEEN TRCTHFULLY OBSERVED
tnat there is at the present time nothing IKE the
opportunity that formerly ofYered to obtain pront
from rapid or wide fluctuations. The public have
become cautious, the operation OF pools is less
ambitious In character and results. and the gauge
OF real values is being more generally applied to
stocks OF ali kinds There are those who believe
that with the approaching Improvement In busi-
ness circles the lower priced securities viii take
fresh start because they look cheap, have
suffered from q large decline, have not yet re-
covered what they lost 10 the depression Of the
panic, and are regarded as o1erlng broad mar
gin for Improvement. II is, perhaps, for this
reason that there has been OF late good deal OF
investment IN this class OF securities by those

children. Or, to Illustrate this anomaly where its
significance - more pointed, but not whit less
influential, this TACT may be Niven:-In primary
school OF GOO pupils there can only be twelve
there can be seventeen teachers. In a primary
scnool Il 400 there can only pe eight DSs
eleven teachers. Miss Wright claims that
her experience Of thirty years in pubic
requisite that the teachers IN the primary schools
should teach small number OF pupils, anu that
fcattnn rhan IN the ora mmar scnoeis where tha
neiects OF teaching capaDlllty are supplemented
BY text books and by the awakened intelligence
Of tho pupils. Miss Wright urges the necessity OF
individual teaching In primary schools, and not
the simultaneous method which IL so much
honored IN modern educational methods. In thus
matter Miss Wright IS supported BY Lord
Brougham and by AL thinkers who nave made the
philosophy Ol education a study.
Lord Brougham has observed thar between the
Rges oil eighteen and thirty months child learns
