In the discussion which followed Supt
Edward Brooks, of Philadelphia, said that
many of the reforms proposed had been
made in many of the best grammar
schools. He agreed with much that Dr.,
Eliot had said, but he could not agree
with him on the question of shortening
the course of arithmetic. 1t had been
curtailed too much, he thought. in the
last ten years. He thought algebra gave
the least mental discipline of any mathe-
NAUTICAL branch land of what practical
use is it?' he asked. AS to geometry, it
would not be possible to teach it to a
child II or IA years old as science Be
sides, he said, there was too much teach
ing and not enough studying. At one
point he said he thought DR.. Eliot would
agree with him-that there were too
many women in the schools. In Phila-
delphia there were 2.6OO women and 81
men, and the schools were suffering from
it. Children of certain age needed a
manly ideal to look up to.

President Eliot of Harvard claimed that
the holding back of capable children was
a great educational injustice; that too
much time was devoted to the study of
arithmetic and geography; condemned the
study of bookkeeping as impractical, re-
commended the introduction of algebra
and geometry and some foreign language
at an earlier age, and that more attention
be given to English and modern languages,
and suggested the adoption in grammar
schools of a flexible, instead of a rigid
system-some selection or choice OF
studies, instead of a uniform requirement.
President Eliot spoke at some length in
support of these views. which he had pre-
viously advocated in a public address at
Winchester, Mass. Among other things
he said:
THE poor boy in the United States
should have as good chance as the child
of a rich man to obtain the best school
training which his character and pow ers
tit him to receive.
~ ct thef existing grammar school pro-
Sralnme aclually prevents the poor boy
from getting that chance. The rich man
can obtain for his children a suitably va
ried course OF instruction. with much in
dividual teaching in private OF endowed
school; but the immense majority of
American children are confined to the
limited, uniform, machine programme of
the graded school.
The right time for advancing child
to the study Of new subject is the first
moment he is capable OF understanding
it. All our divisions OF the total school
period into years, and into primary, gram
mar and high schools are artificial, and in
most cases hurtful or hindering to the in
dividual. The whole school life should
be one unbroken flow from one fresh in
terest and one new delight to another,
and the rate of that flow ought to be diff

deep belt OF white silk put on full. At
the neck were three little ruffles, and
two more at the cuff. A spring hat
went with 1t, of thin, light straw,
trimmed with u fresh spray of roses.
The hat had white strings, and n pair of
white gloves had been ordered to COM
pletc the outfit.
There was another there that was
ever SO pity. 1t was more somber,
bnt liked it. The material was n very
dark gray-aimost black--with white
lines running through it. Feather trim
ming edged the skirt. The waist was
very long and had small pointed belt
of white at the waist line. The bodice
was cut ut the neck very low all around,
and joined to u chemisette of white,
with straps of the material over each
shoulder, fastened at the back to the
top of the bodice. The sleeves were full
and pulled at the top, with n tight-fitc
ting undersleeve.
There were yards and yards of beau
tiful material lying there in soft heap
ready to be made up. 1t was such q
pretty color, pale yellow, little softer
than ordinary yellow, and crinl1lcd Just
like the old seersuchers. Then there
were little gray silk stripes through it
that looked like ribbon sewcd on. This
rs the order.of the stripes, and if you can
get material like it I think you will
agree with me that you never had a pref
tier dress. First, n broad stripe of the
crinkled gold and thread stripe Of the
gray. Then small stripe of yellow
and another thread-like stripe of the
gray. This repeated three times. Then
another one of the real broad gold
stripes. Then half-inch stripe of
gray and half-inch of gold and repeat
this five times; then begin at the begin
ming and go through it again. 1t was
SO soft and SO pretty wished that it
had been made into dress
But when some of the pious folk get
home from church and lay off their
wraps the pretty waists you see then
don't always harmonic with the dark
and simple skirts. For instance, u black
silk one with fancy pattern in knots
all over it. The vest was turned back
IN deep revers faced with rich brocade
and then narrowed into the very thin
nest of points. The waist itself was of
white silk gathered back and front and
fastened under broad full belt. The
collar was plain, just like the belt only
narrower. 1t looked so pretty with the
girls complexion, which was extremely
clear, and with her hair, which was q
soft, light brown, and curled in fluff
over her head. She didn't look very
sanctified in that waist, though. Do
you think SO?

When the old man was neeced of his
five dollars he just gathered the band
together, for they had como to town to

two to one of the circus people and
had things pretty much their own

men outside broke open the wagon and
took every cent Of the receipts.
'Of course the circus people had no
redress. Everybody that knew any
thing knew that the ticket seller had
been playing the flin-flam game and
that he'd been done up for once, and
he didn't get sympathy enough to
