SUFFERING scHoLARs.
Largo Numbers of Thorn In tho Public
Schools OF Germany.


Schools OF Germany.
Some alarm has been created in Ger.
many by the recent publication of tlSa
official report and statistics of educa-
ton, which show that among tho chill
in Emperor Williams dominions there
are no less than eighty thousand af-
1icted with the defect of speech know1x
as stammering. The city of Brcslaus
alone, says the Chicago Mail, contrib
utes quota of twenty-four hundred
suffering children to the total; and in
some places the number of stammcrcrs
attains the large proportion of ten per
cent. of the school attendance.
Realizing the growth as well as the
gravity of tho mischief, the German
government has for some months past
devoted considerable attention to the
subject, and has gathered together
much interesting information about the
matter. The most valuable report is
that contributed by DR.. Gutzmann, so
well known throughout the world for
his successful teachings of deaf mutes,
and whose absence from tho interna-
tional convention of instructors of deaf
mutes recently in session in New York
was n matter of sincere regret to the
delegates
According to DR.. Gutzmanr, whose
report has been adopted and published
by the German government, involun-
tary milnicry plays great part in slut
tcring. Like yawning, it is catching.
The quicker child is and tho more i'm
itativc, the moro apt it is to imbibc any
defects of speech on the part of those
by whom it is surrounded Conclusive
evidence of the contagious nature of
stammcring is to be found in the fact
that the number of Sufferers in q
school increases steadily as the chill
dren pass upward from class to class.
In the public schools of Berlin, for in
stance, the number of stammcrcrs
among the children in the lowest class
was 0.o2 of the total force of the class.
This proportion rose from year to year,
as the children passed upward in the
educational scale, until in the highest
class the percentage was discovered to
be Lei, or more than three times tho
number found when the same children
were in the lowest class.
Compromising that it would be only
with special care and particular pre-
caution on the part of the teachers that
the public schools could be prevented
from becoming centcrs for the propaga-
ton of the grave defect of suffering,
the German government has encouraged
DR.. Gutzmann to start special course
of scientific instruction for public
school-tcachers showing them how to
deal with the stammerers, and tho
public schools IN all parts of Germany
have now sent teachers to Berlin for
the purpose of acquiring DIR. Gutz-
manns method. So satisfied is the en-
pcror with the latter that he has taken
4 leading part in securing its general
adoption by all the educational institu-
tions in his dominions

 Fraud Held To-day.

WORCESTER, Feb. 4-The preliminary hearing in the case of Clark W. Hatch, charged with forgery, was held at the cen tral district court this morning. Cashier George A. Merrill of the Mechanics Ma tional bank testified he was familiar with the face of the defendant. He saw him for the first time August II last. He saw him fill out deposit check for S25O At that time he wrote his name on the sigma ture book. Witness then had no conver- sation with him. Stephen FWoodman of Boston. general agent of the Travellers In surance company, identified defendant as Clark w. Hatch. He knew him about if teen years and was his partner for thirteen years. Dr. William J Lewis of Hartford, adjuster of the Travellers Insurance com pany, testified he knew defendant seven or eight years, but never knew him as Clark Wells. The evidence of other witnesses was as to the identity of Hatch and Wells as the same man. Letters were introduced to show that Hatch signed the firm name Of Hatch & Woodman, endorsing Wells as all right. He is now unable to tell who Wells is. Bail was fixed at $10,0O0, and Hatch was held for the grand jury session ir,

EXTENSIVE sKIN-GRAFTING.
The Hoy and the Dog-The Flesh
 Knit Hut the Bones Didn't.

The Roy and the Dog-The Flesh
 Knit Hut the Bones Didn't.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The most eIten- sive skin grating operation that ever took place in Bellevue hospital is now being performed there upon Mrs. Herman Wick, whose hair and scalp were torn off by laundry belt. Her head will be as bald as an ivory billiard ball, but that will be far better than having no scalp at all. The strips of skin with which Mrs. Wilck's head is being covered are supplied from the thighs of Della Ryan, one of the girls employed in the laundry. The strips are very thin, from one to eight inches in length. and are put on in small pieces. Then they are held down securely by rub Der tissue and bandages. The skin is cut of by sharp, wide razor, and while undergoing the operation anesthetics are given to the patient. It may be several weeks before the second artificial graft is made.
 In the case of Johnny Gettim, the boy | who had the dogs leg grafted into his own, | the removal of the plaster case shows that | the bones have not united, while the flesh has. It is claimed that this is almost as | important scientifically as the removal of the bones, since it will enable the surgeons | to patch up persons Wno nave lost portlons of skin or flesh from any part of theiI bodies. The surgeons interested in the grating experiment claim that the chances
 of success were diminished by the effec
 on the dog, which soon began to show
 signs of giving out and lost flesh rapidl.
 when confined in the plaster straight
 jacket The dog finally became so emaci ated that she could move within the plas
 ter despite all precautions. Extra eotto was inserted to fill the vacancy, but th
 effort was not successful.
