There has been some talk of the announce

were consulted on the subject found great
many objections to the plan and said that
they we're reasonably sure it would not be

years for this course was established by
Speaker Reed, who on Dec 8, 1859, an

THE New York Correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger reports
an interesting discussion Of the
defects in the American public
school system at the meeting of the
Congregational Club in that City
on Tuesday evening. Prof. Felix
Adler, President Hall, of Clark Uni,
versity; Prof. Butler. of the Training
School for Teachers; President
Hunt, of the Board of Education,
and Superintendent Jasper and
Maxwell, of the New York and
Brooklyn public schools, took part in
the discussion. The three last de-
Tended the public schools under the
present system, and the three first
had more or less to say i'll criticism
of the prevailing methods of instruc
ton. "The most serious result of
our school SYSTEM" said President
Hall, "is the drain on the nervous
system of children by its wastetul
methods. Psychology teaches us
that progress is in bodily and men
tai activity, but the teacher says,
sit STILL He is drill master,
demanding regular movements, so
he can say at this hour SO many
children are doing this, so many in
unison are doing that. Our schools
cultivate stupidity; their methods
sterilize the mind. Every man with
fad foists it on the system; now 1t
is b bookkeeping, now it is Latin.
The school programme is collec
ton of fragments. What we must
do is to initiate the Germans, after
Jena, and realize that our success
among nations is to depend on our
schools, and to model them to that
end" MIR. Hunt, OF the Board of
Education, said that Sin all the
pages of history there was no tx-
ample OF such educational progress
as there had been in the United
States This country takos her
children and educates them; then
she says to the State, take them
and weave them into the web and
wool of citizenship, and they shall
be jewels in your crown of rejoicing.

bar participate, isthat Hon Louis E.
McComas, of Maryland, will on the
1st of March succeed Judge John
Blair Hoge. OF West Virginia. as

Mr.. McComas with District affairs
and the close of his congressional
term Seems to have pointed to him
as likely to receive the appointment
when the resignation of Judge Hoge

Mr.. McComas, and that his appoint

Black Grenadines. No, not
a word OF them. Some day,
shortly, you'll find in this col

concerning them and all other
blacks for Spring,
Emphasizing the thoughts
of we want to impress some
notions OF the Grenadine art
OF the season. They are the
zenith. The high Paris Nov
elites are in Grenadines.
What's your notion of Grena-
dine? Probably you think OF
a thin stuff, OF plain, almost
mourning, tone, without posi-
bilitles of style suggestive OF
a venerable Wayback.
Revise your notion; the
Grenadine is now the top
lottiest thing in dress goods.
Look at this one. You think
instantly Of a thistledown i'm
prisoned in a spiders web,
only the down is large, the
color blue, and the web black ;
but there is a family of colors.
Next is a Grenadine OF
black ground with graduated
pink silk stripes making an
ombre effect of color. 1t has
associated colorings, and there
are others here, and still 9TH
ers coming, only little OF
each, so that the risk of dupli-
eating a dress is very slight
and the chance of selection is
small; they are crclzfSlf here.
