state fair days, as specialists in the cure
Of chronic diseases of all kinds, we've re-
Gently arrested in Brattleboro, and
brought before the medical examining
committee of that place in accordance
with the law passed at the last session
Of the legislature. The elder one was
first examined. II was very speedily
asccrtaincd that his knowledge of med
icinc was next to nothing. Then he
confessed, saving that he depended
wholly upon his son for that matter He
had no money. and il was decided, in
stead of sending him to Jail. TO dismiss
him after he had promised to leave the
state without delay.
The Younger one was next brought
up. After stating that he did not pro-
fcss TO understand all branches of med
ical science, he was told that he might
select the departments in which he
would be examined. His specially, he
said, was chronic diseases. lie was cx-
amined for upwards of two hours as TO
his knowledge of these diseases. and
both the questions and answers were
taken in writing. On examination of
the papers it was found that he had an
swcred correctly only three ont of
twenty-four of the questions. lie had
therefore violated the law, the least pen
atty for which was a fine of fifty dollars.
But he also being out of funds, it was
thought best to allow him TO quietly
leave the statc.- Messenger.

To- Secretary Evarts has written Il
letter to the chairman Of the committee
on foreign affairs, relative TO the APP
preparation required for our representa-
ton at the Paris Exposition next year.
He thinks more will be required than
was necessary for the Vienna EXPOSE
ton, because the example of our own
centennial exhibition has aroused the
attention of our people to the interest
and practical importance of such COM
petitive displays in open avenues of
trade to our productions. He says, af-
ter careful estimate of the probable ex-
pense there ought to be provided at
least 1926, 900 above the actual salaries
of commissioners and employees.

~" The subject of industrial and
technical education is not receiving the
attention in this state that we ought to
give to it. AS society advances the ne
cessity for skilled industry increases
and the scope of school education ought

education is greater year by year, be-
cause of our improvements i'll machin-

formerly was done to considerable

Massachusetts, which is considered a
sort of educational paradise, is lacking
in opportunities for education in the
practical and ornamental branches of
industry as compared with the Europe
an states. II appears from recent re-
ports of the commissioner of education,
that Austria maintains 1897 schools for
technical instruction, 1906 teachers,
and 67,7i3 pupils. Besides which there
are schools of forestry, mining and ag-
riculture. Bavaria shows 1871 indus
trial schools for girls, with 1887 teach
ers and II ,6S5 pupils; also, polytech-
mic school at Munich, Sc chronological
schools, four of agriculture, with many
courses of lectures on practical subjects.
In Germany there are "a schools of
architecture, rs of mining, II of for

ture, 10 veterinary and 50 other techni-
cal schools. Denmark has Farmer

In Holland there are IL navigation

President Bartlett, of Dartmouth Col
lego, in n letter TO the Boston school
committee. says: IL believe in giving
our daughters the best and highest cdu-
cation, and therefore believe firmly in
giving them a separate and special edu-
cation. Co-education may answer dur
ing the years ofchidhood and the earlier
stages of instruction; ii may be ncccs-
sarily and safely continued TO later
period in the limited circumstances and
watchfnl guardianship of a country vii
lage; and under exceptional conditions
may proceed perhaps, in the higher
range of study. But so soon and so far
as the distinctive traits of manhood and
womanhood begin strongly TO develope
and assert themselves. the physical, IN
tellectual and moral necessities of the
case seem to me to demand difference
of method and separateness of daily
study, recitation and Intercourse

~ Secretary Sherman has presented
his views of the national financial stu
alton, and especially lis hearing upon
resumption, in mn elaborate paper in
the North American Review, and his
views are accepted as especially impor-
tant and interesting from the fact. In
the first place, that for many years he
was chairman OF the Senate finance
committee and had unusually good OPP
Iortunities TO learn of every project
suggested upon these most fertile of
subjects, and gave his attention to the
matter as no one whose duties and la
bors did not compel such consideration
.wonld do. Secondly, because of his
present official position as head of the
treasury department the government.
And finally, .because he may be fairly
presumed 10 be familiar with the opin-
ions OF the president. In this article he
shows that the distress which the inf1a-
tionists complain OF is "the direct, GER
policy Of imitation which they favor"
He declares that the resumption net
instead Of being mere electioneering
device, as lis enemies have sometimes
ssserted-was deliberately adopted as
tise remedy for the evils the country
was then suffering under, and IL was
also adopted in response TO the popular
demand Of the day. The whole ques-
ton had been thoroughly considered IN
and out of Congress. The act is not so
perfect, especially in defining the meth
dds to be used by the secretary Of the
treasury in carrying II ont, as il ought
to have beer. But Il Is the method
adopted, and il answers the purpose

by the trembling and oscillation of the

of the guests opened their room doors
and shouted; some ran out into the
