According to the Chicago Usrala
New Yori's Board OF Elucatioa is col
sidcring proposal to Danish the teach
ing Of French and German in the public
schools OF the city. At present French
md 0ermln are taught in five grades of
the schools to about 2J,s00 children,
100 minutes per week being devoted to
these languages. French and German
are optional at present with tho trustees
of the various schools, and the system
has heretofore given satisfaction. The
principle of giving instruction in branches
demanded by a majority of the parents
is, however," confesses the Herald, "oae
that needs to be carefully restricted.
Most of our public schools already st-
tempt far too much, and the result is that
instead of turning out graduates thor
ough]y well drilled in the rudiments of
English education in too many instances
they are contributions &c swell, The tide
of mediocrity by attempting to give in
Struction in too many branches. Thor
ough work in the essentials first and
after that the extras, IL there is time and
money for them, should be the aim Of

The big guns of molerh mcn of.war

mcnts, to do Iu,te rs much damag, to
friends, opincs the New Orleans Times
Democrat, rs enemies. A naval officer
has been describing the firing of a sixty.
seven ton gun on the new battle ship
Trafalgar, considered oae OF the three or
fa,,r -1ina..-.S
He says: "Thc gun was pointed directly
ahead and fired with n charge of 63O
pounds Of slow-burning powder and a
125O-poqnd p :;ectile. The blast pro-
ducedee the rnsh Of the i.cw;!.u. ga, ana
the shot was so tremendous that the plates
Of the forccaStlc were forced in and the
deck beams bent out Of shape, while al
most every round carried away some frag-
ment of the projecting portions of the
ship, even when the training was to the
right or the left. 1t is estimated that
the vessel would be reduced to something
very like wreck were twenty-five rounds
to be fired either directly ahead or direct
ly astern. This interferes with, or rem
ders impossible, firing when either in
flight or chase, aud has caused our naval
constructors to modify the plans for the
projected battlc-ships, as it is not deemed
desirable to have them sink from the dis
charge OF their OWE guns"
