Prot. John NJ. Langston's admission
to the United States supreme court was
on motion of Gen. Garfield. in one Of
the most eloquent speeches ever made
by him. An interesting incident oc-
cured just after the professor was ad-
mitted. While Garfield was making
his address, Judge Jeremiah Black was
standing by. apparently well pleased
with what was taking place. Langston
got the idea that he was Thaddeus
Stevens, with whom Black was at en-
nifty. When he went to the clerk $
room to get his papers. Black came in
to get $40 bill changed. The clerk
was unable to accommodate the judge.
and Langston volunteered to do it. He
pulled out roll OF bills and advanced
toward Black, who had his bill in his
hand. saying: Have not the honor
OF addressing Thaddeus Stevens?" The
words were hardly out before Black be-
gan to back off saying: NO sir! BY
blank. no sir! No sir! By blank, no.
sir!" until he had backed out of the
door, Laugstor meanwhile advancing
and extending the small bills The
young man turned to the clerk in
astonishment. when the latter explained
the queer action, saying: Why. MIR.
Langston, that Is Jerry Black, and he
would rather have you spit in his face
than call him .Thad Stevens"

City ssd Country school ChlIdren,

At the recent annual meeting, at
Newport, X l.. of the American Insti-
tute of Instruction, Professor 5. K.
Thompson made an address in which
he said that in years of experience with
schools in town and country, of from
800 to 400 in number. he had noticed
differences between the pupils of coun-
try and city schools. which had been
subjects of much thought and discus
.ion. In the first place. the city-tred
in the same grade of study with Their
country cousins are usually younger
by from three to five years. vet the
latter show more energy. power. con-
centration. Independence. and more
rapid progress when taking their
proper grade in the city than the
in the college as well rs taking more
prominent'posItions in life. The city
schools. their apparatus and instruct
ors, are. Of course. far superior. and
the pupils cover in their ten months
study more studies an longer courses.
so that the result would seem 10 be
otherwise. But the difficulty lies in
their being carried beyond their capa.
city and comprehension. and constant
drilling, lncmorlZlng and the teachers
work being relied on to carry them to
this advanced stage. Tau, the pupils
activity is enfecUled by wrestling with
what he does not comprehend. his ell
ergv is relaxed. and he Is Weakened
instead OF strengthened.
Again, the country lad is trained to
work steadily at some manual LABOR.
giving him a moral bent toward faith
ful performance of intellectual tasks.
while the town-brcd pupil, with ms
ten months of schooling, has but little
opportunity for manual work. and
loses the valuable training II affords.
What person does has vastly more
