Summer schools for adults, TO utilize

some one has called the midsummer
madness for study" with instruction in
every branch of knowledge under the sun,
from cookery to divine philosophy, and
their full corps of learned professors and
popular lecturers, are becoming more
common every year. The latest addition
is perhaps one of the best; it is the walk
ing class, where pupils are taught botany,
entomology, mineralogy, or any other
of the natural sciences in object lessons,
a method of learning a thing by seeing
or doing it, practiced so successfully by
the late Mr.. Squeers Of Dotheboys Hall
in Yorkshire.
There is wonderful power in organiza-
ton. Instances could be given of great
effects from a simple class when it has a
definite object. One city sin the west"
admittedly owes its high standard of in
tellectual and artistic taste to a reading
circle formed thirty years ago by two
or three ladies for their own culture.
From reading they went to buying
books, from that to providing lectures
for the people, then to a free library, and
30 the leaven mas worked, modestly and
quietly, but persistently, training its
young people, till now that the second
generation has come into possession, the
result is seen in wider culture and
broader ideas.

journalism Iseans a dreary plodding

phenomenally brief period of one year
Mrs. Prescott has risen from obscurity
to an acknowledged position in the pro-

woman's paper in New York, which has
since been merged in another publication.
Mrs. Prescott did all the drudgery on
this paper and became very i'll from over
