Mrs. Langtry believes that the play
should be made for the dress, and not
the dress for the play. She has excused
Charles Coghlan from his post as lead
ing man for time, that he may re-
write her two new plays to correspond
with her Worth costumes. The Lily
didn't bring those dresses over from
Paris to waste their sweetness Oh desert
air. Buchanan's plays are reminis-
cences of the olden time, and as WOrth's
patterns are the latest out, the plays
must be mOderniZed somewhat.

More stories of Mary Anderson's
lunatic lovers are coming to light.
About six years ago the son of New
York clergyman fell madly in love with
her, followed her from one continent to
another, and spent all his substance in
buying her flowers. His successor is
James M. Dougherty, who has kept nn
the tagging" until the police inter-
fered. DOugherty firmly believed that
Mary returned his affection, and when
she tried to disabuse his mind of the
illusion he was inconsolable. He is
supposed to be insane, and his case will
be looked after by the doctors.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

We are gratified to observe that the
GLOBES advocacy of the Adjustment
of school examinations has attracted the
press, and the subject is now being dis
cussed with warmth and earneStness
in proportion with its merits. While the
GLOBES views are pretty unanimously
Endorsed by our Eastern contemporaries,
vet there are q few Of our exchanges
who StrenuouSly oppose any change that
would look to the elimination Of feat
ture in our educational system of such
venerable antiquity. The examination
system is invested with the Sacredness
of age. 1t is supposed to be akin to sac
rilege to discuss itnow. Those who take
this view Of the subject seem to be ig-
norant of the fact that Oh both sides of
the Atlantic educational methods are
in processes of change. Educators
realize that the tests OF progress have
been applied OUT of ali proportion to
the progress made. The tendency has
been to oyer-organiZe and oyer-regulate;
therefore, it was rot a matter of sur
prise when the Nineteenth Century,
magazine that is always in the van CT
the best thought, some time ago de-
claimed against the injury that was
being inflicted upon the cause Of edu-
cation by a perpetuation CT the eXami-
nation system. Prof. MAX MULLER,
once himself q strenuous advocate
of examinations, is to-day opposed
to them, and says IF the examination
maintains its, present advantage it will
poison the best blood Of England, if it
has not done SO already" He is now
satisfied that the tendency Of the ex-
animation system is to destroy the best
men by hindering them from working
freely and with proper individuality.
If the reasons for eliminating exam
nations from the school system of
England are substantial, they surely
have a stronger application in this
country OF free institutions. where so
much depends Oh the development of
individuality. AS has been well
said by a distinguished educator,
the great aim in education is
the reaching of certain results
through the diversity of means that
follows the diyersities of temperament
and endowment. Where examinations
are too frequent and stress is laid upon
them, it is the examination and not the
mastery Of the study i'll hand that rules
the thought OF the more ambitious stu
dents, and this both narrows and de-
! feats the ends Of education.
The one great defect in our public
school system is that there is too much
| mechanism about it. In the first place,
the individuality Of the teacher is re-
pressed by the automatic requirements
of the school law and the cast-iron rules
adopted by the school boards. In
the second place, the teacher hav-
ing been made an automaton, it
| naturally follows that the pupil
| is squeezed down to the same con-
