How to Spell Shakespeare.

There Was great latitude taken in spelling
Shakespeare, says W. T. M. Bull in the Boston
Globe. Thus in extant documents, bearing
date from l45O to 1850 the name is variousy
spelt: Schakespeire. Schakespere. Schaks-
pere, Chacsper. Shakespeare. Shakespeyr,
Shakspere Shakespere.
From 1850 to 1850, during the lapse of which
100 years the poet was born Q56f, and died
(l616). there was great freedom taken in SPELL
ing the name. as the following table clearly
shows.

Color Blindness and Mine Inspection.

Color Blindness and Mine Inspection.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The suggestion of Mr.. Keighley in THE DIS
PATCH of February % will cause those dealing
with the miners old enemy &c H ~ TO do some
new thinking. The writer cannot see why color
blindness would prevent a person examining for
G II from detecting the smallest or largest per-
centage discernible on the flame of lamp. In
the first condition mentioned, with low flame,
the observer depends entirely "on colors." The
intensity of color and length and width of cap.
it is true, determines the percentage of H 4.
And this color will vary from a lavender blue
to a bright Prussian blue according to the
amount of G II contained in the air. As these
are colors which persons afflicted with color
blindness cannot confound, they must appear
to the color-blind examiner as they do to the
normal-eyed- Or, again, if that cap or cone
could assume any other color to the color blind
it would not prevent its being seen excepting
In case where the examiner was TOO weak
eyed to see. Color blindness is not caused by
physically weak eyes.
Second-If the presence of c H IS being de-
tected by the elongated flame. and the exam
lner cannot see 1t moving or spring upward,
why he must be partially blind and would be
incompetent to det ect e fl 4 because of physical
eye weakness or partial blindness.
A new gauZe cylinder, or one that is highly
polished, will refract from its cylindrical sides

Tor cap, cone or halo above the flame. AS
this is an allusiOn, the fame of the lamp is
never disturbed by it, as when Z II comes into
contact with it. Four per cent of the male
population are said to be color blind, while the
same condition does not exist with females,
they being totally free from this class of de-
lusions. 1t is well known that persons who do
not see a color as it is, see some other that SO
strongly contrasts it as to make the chances of
detecting G Fl about certain, even if red or
green was to appear in . safety lamp. With an
active, intelligent and industrious fire boss
who is blessed with two eyes quick and strong
enough to detect the changes which may occur
in his lamp, and with a territory in the mine
that he Can travel without straining the time,

tribnted SO as to remove the H when ell

The School system Defende

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
1 would like to give the taxpayers, and public
generally, a glimpse of the other side OF the
question discussed by "A Friend of the Public
Schools" who evidently does not writo from
personal experience. l am a scholar of the
High School class in one of the public schools.
There certainly is system in the schools. else
how could arithmetic. spelling, history. gram
mar, geography, physiology, music, drawing
and writing in alternate weeks, daily, with
written reviews in at least two studies. every
Friday, and the Delsarte system of physical
culture twice week, be taught and under
stood as well as they are?
There are, of course the dull and the in
attentive ones, who would not learn under any
circumstances. Those who attend school to
learn, are sure to succeed in obtaining good
practical education, If they are only attentive
And could he see the trials and difficulties
which try the teachers patience daily, he
would think their salaries well earned, for
much time is wasted from the annoyance
chiefly caused by those who are not taught at
home to obey their teachers.
1t is true that the so-called '.iamborees' take
place; but not for the purpose, as he supposes.
OF 'hubdubbery" and "show of bunting" but
to show the parents and friends how the
scholars arc progressing, and if he and others
would visit the schools more and see what is
really being done, he would understand the
question better than from newspaper clippings.
And moreover, these entertainments are not
prepared during school hours. SO that no
studies are omitted. There are, of course.
number of studies to be prepared at home; but
1t is not the teachers fault, for they are COM
PEELED to give the scholars whatever the Board
of Education directs. As for the "high old
links" at night school, am not prepared TO say:
but am sure the tired brains of those who are
employed during the day need to have their
studies made as pleasant as possible.
have graduated from the cooking school,
which he seems to think of so lIttle import
ance, and while, of course, this might have
been learned at home, or. az he says, from any
book on the subject, the system taught there
makes such an impression as is to bear
fruit in after years. The "fandangoes i'll col
ored chalk" as he expresses it, develop what
ever artistic taste there may be in the scholars,
and the spread eagle penmansnIp" is not
taught in the schools, but plain, beautiful
writing, as he would find if he took the trouble
to visit and see for himself.

What the People are Saying.

The people are curious TO know if under
the new charter amendment there will be
any improvement in the. way of making
financial reports.
1t has been so long since the reading
ublic has seen a report of city finances,
pthat.nobody knows anything about city
finances, not even the aldermen.
Not even the finance committee" who
report financial statement examined and
found correct" don't know anything
about city finances.
autocrat is an impossibility unless he has
some one to boss and control at his pleas
ure. The city council-the body elected
to represent the people, only represent
the autocrat.
Public discussion of enforcement of the
enactments against gambling, the so

sensible men to one stand pOint-that of
reasonable liberation.

The point is, If federation is exercised
toward one class of social offenders there
is no excuse for official persecution toward
another class.
The people demand that nothing shall
stand in the way of general prosperity
nothing can be bad, or absolutely so, that
contributes to the general welfare.
