chart Of CHM Brothers, Boston, in
of all the grades in the progressive
steps OF music was TO me, charming
exercise of great utility. Music ele-
Yates, purifies and makes sweet and
delightful the atmosphere of home.
And it is happy thought to contem-
plate the salutary influences which
will flow out from the school room in-
to the homes of the masses of large
city. When | took charge of a school
at Knoxville | at once felt the need of
musical chart, the teaching of which
il anything but difficult. 1t may be in
use in the Knoxville schoos-hope il
is. Also, the manner in which nota-
ton and the first rules of arithmetic
are taught is not in universal use so far
as have observed.
In matters of government, no assist
ant Is permitted to use the rod. The
performance of such an unpleasant
duty is delegated only to the princl-
pals of the schools.
Having ever been strongly in favor
of the co.education of the sexes, | was
sorry to learn that this was not permit
ted, with the exception of the first
school / visited, Upon inquiry how
the place succeeded, this lady replied
that the results were perfectly charm
ing, while she and her assistants were
strongly in favor of the coseducation
of the sexes through all the grades and
hoped il would soon be universally
adopted. The results of an opposite
plan can not be otherwise than of
great injury to society even in one
generation. One of the happiest fea-
lures of this school was displayed in
the graceful, courteous and refined
manners Of the children in their every
movement. Thousands of homes are
destitute of refinement and training ;
and, instead of being ungodly schools
| las the Catholics term them), the pub
| lie schools, in the hands of conscien-
tious, Christian teachers, may become
| the conservation of society. The pol
ish given to a child's life by the grace
full and courteous carriage of its person
in the happy relations of social COM
mingling of teachers and scholars is a
result obtained, far surprising in i'm
portance the mere fact of pushing a
scholar rapidly through one textbook
to another.
Passing on to Washington / visited
the Franklin School building, costing
one hundred and eighty thousand
dollars, the rooms of which overlook
the beautiful Franklin Park. l was
directed to the school of highly-cul.
tured lady teacher from Boston, where
l was delighted for hours in matters OF
discipline, modes of teaching, draw
ing, Kindergarten and musical gym
nastics.
In contemplating the extensive
culture given to even the poorest child
of the city when they will have passed
up through the grades and out from
tile high school, | could not refrain
from breathing a silent petition tc
God to preserve unto us, till the --latest
generation, the public schools Of oul
beloved country.

FJNkNUE AND TRADE.

FINANCIAL BUSINESS is too quiet in
Memphis 10 furnish incidents for repeti-
ton, and elsewhere there appears to be
nothing more lively than we are supply
ing al home. The New York Bulletin
concludes an article upon our foreign
trade with the following: sin the past
and present year there has been an eA-
cess Of exports, the surplus for the eleven
months Ci 1915 being $40, DOC, 600 and
for the same months Of 1884, $50, 300
OD. Such 8 large excess of exports is
unusual, and may be regarded as due
principally 10 the fact that in addition
To our trade obligations we have large
interest account with foreign bondhold-
ers, and that we have not been able to
export securities to the usual extent,
owing TO the depreciation OF our cOrpO-
rate credit since the panic, and the ad.
vance in good securities caused by the
unhealthy ease in the money market"
Exchange quotes as before; on NewYork
and the east, buying at par, selling at I
premium; on New Orleans buying at
discount, selling at par. Gold made an
