Senior Don Francisco Barca, the
Spanish Minister Plenipotentlary to
this country, committed suicide ut the
Albemarle hotel, New York city, short
" after two o'clock Sunday morning.
At that hour the night clerk of the
hotel heard Il report like pistol shot.
He thought, however, 1T was merely
the popping of a cork from Il soda
water bottle, and paid no attention to
it. Three hours later the minister's
acting private secretary arrived at the
hotel to attend mass with the minister,
and went to his room. He turned the
knob of the door and found that the
apartment was not locked. On enter
ing the room he found Senior Barca
dead, by the side of the bed, his hand
resting on the coverlet, on which also
was a large pool of blood, By his side
was large navy revolver, IL callbre,
with one chamber empty. 1t was evil
dent that the minister had shot himself
deliberately. 1t was found that the
bullet from the revolver had entered
the right temple and passed through
the brain. No motive other than tinan-
cial embarassments afforded is assigned
for the suicide. Senior Barca's domes-
tic relations are said to have been
happy. His pecuniary affairs were
not, however, in good shape, and he
was put to straits i'll maintaining an
extensive establishment in Washing
ton. Senior Barca arrived July 20, with
his wife and two daughters. One OF
the latter, named Nellie, made her de
but in Washington last winter, and
was considered one of the bellies of the
| city. Senior Barca came to this cOun-
try about eighteen months ago. Senior
Barca was Il very genial gentleman,
and he and his family were popular in
society at Washington. He appeared
almost daily in public, driving with his
wife and daughters. His reputation i'll
the diplomatic corps was that of very
marked ability.

the seaside and mountain hotels from

are usually filled by the middle of Ju-

ton. The athletic tournament, which
takes place this week, will doubtless
do much to fill the hotels and the peck

THE Journal of Education publishes
very interesting article on the estab-
lishment of what might be termed a
chair OF Pedagogy in the Michigan Uni
versity. The professor writes very frank
ly, clearly and hopefully. The success
which it is almost self evident has attend
ed the establishment of this branch OF
science, for SO pedagogy must be con
sidered before teaching becomes pro
fession, will, it is hoped, lead to such a
chair in all state universities.
Normal schools have been forced to
give too much elementary instruction
and thus have to a great extent been
compelled to abandon their highest type
of work, the creation of a public school
doctrine. The American characteristic
of haste in all things has unfortunately
led to disregard of broad fundamental
principles in teaching, and turned atten-
tiol to the little matters of detail in
school loom work, so that in majority
of cases our normal school graduates in
their work are copyists and not workers
in harmony with a doctrine based on
recognized principles. The method
has growth distinct from the eternal
laws of which it should be the fruit and
it leaves no seed for its reproduction.
Whether it Is wiser 10 have a chair of
Pedagogy in the State University, or
have a central Normal School where
teaching is taught as a science, is ques-
ton our leading educators should soon
determine. Teaching is not now pro.
fession and will not be until there is a
public school doctrine. Teaching is an
art and its underlying principles should
be collated so ii at they may be trans
fused and give life and purpose to the
work of schools.
