THAT HARVARD REPORT.

That report of the special committee on
English composition and rhetoric addressed
to the board of overseers of Harvard college
has been printed, and it is bound to make
stir. This is encouraging, for such stir
as it will make has long been much needed.
The committee, after examining large
number of tho exercises handed in to the
instructors of tho English department,
came to the conclusion that the college was
compelled during the freshman year to do
"a vast amount of elementary educational
work which should be done in the pre-
paratory schools" Accordingly, 1t pro-
cured through the instructors statements
of the methods of instruction pursued in
the schools in which the writer's of the
papers had been prepared for college.
There were 45O of these papers handed
in, representing the methods of 100
preparatory schools, and includ-
ing also few papers from stud
ents of private schools and others
who had been specially fitted by tutors or
otherwise. The investigation showed that
in most of the schools there is no such
thing as proper and adequate teaching of
English. Speaking of the results of the
examination of candidates for admission to
the freshman class last June, the committee
says: "English composition papers were
then prepared by 414 applicants. OF these
no less than AZ per cent. either passed un-
satisfactorily or were conditioned" that
is, nearly half we're unprepsred in ele-
mentary English for admission "They
could not write their mother tongue with
ease or correctness" And but nine out of
the Ala applicants passed the examination
"with credit" while 20 per cent. failed
wholly.
| The remedy recommended by the COM
mittee is a severe one, but not too'severe
It advises "that the college should forth
with, as regards English composition, be
put in its proper place as an institution of
advanced education" by RELOCATING theme
writing to the preparatory schools, and send
ing back every student who cannot write the
English language with facility and correct
ness. 1t is to be hoped that this important
step will be taken, not only by Harvard
but by Yale and other colleges. The pres
ent condition of things is discoursging

FRANKS OF HALLOWEEN.
On All Saints eve fairies and witches
are abroad. 1t is their peculiar holiday
and in the revelry of this carnival time
they come nearer to human beings than on
any other night of the year.
Thus the pagans believed, ages ago, and
the earlier Christian teachers, we are
told, did not at once attempt to abolish
the superstition but sought to replace it
with the belief that the spirits of the holy
dead returned on Halloween to their
earthly homes, to look again upon the
faces of their dear ones, and perhaps, by
some mysterious communication from soul
to soul, bring touch of comfort to those
who yet mourned for them.
For some reason, while other rural festi.
walls, like Midsummer night, are no longer
observed, the merry rites of Hallowmass are
still remembered, and it is favorite date

DEPEW AT THE HYPERION.
There may be some greater men in the
world than the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew,
but there ia none that has q more genuine
popularity, popularity which has been
won by means of good heart, unerring
tact, great knowledge of human nature and
wonderful skill in using that knowledge.
Tho Bible says "Woe be unto you when
all men speak we'll of you," but all men
have been speaking we'll of DR.. Depew for
many years, and he appears to be all right
up to the present time. Long may he
continue to be.
The meeting at the Hyperion last even
ing was a deeply interesting one. The
great crowd of the young men of Yale sit
ting at the fest of such teacher was an
impressive sight. And right nobly did he
do his teaching. Sound Republican doc
trine was stated with great olearness,
adorned with golden oratory and illumi-
mated with shining wit. The big audience
was delighted with the speaker, and no
speaker could desire more appreciative or
enthusiastic hearers. They yielded willing
submission to the orators spell, and they
felt that the party which commanded the
allegiance of such a man as DR.. Dspew was
good enough for them to belong to.

WHAT IT MAY MEAN.


There is good deal of talk about the
quietness of this campaign and much won
der why the people are not more excited.
Perhaps they feel that they have no reason
to get what the boys call "red headed"
Perhaps they have decided to let we'll
enough alone. Perhaps they don't want
change. Business is good, everybody who
can work and wants to work finds work to
do at good wages, the necessities of life
are cheap and 80 are many of the luxuries.
There has probably been no time in the
history of this country when a dollar
would buy more, or when a dollar was
easier to get. There is no fair reason for
the people to find any fault with the business
and industrial situation. There is also no
reason for general complaint against the
administration. Its head has proved him
self to be as wise, firm and patriotic ruler
as this country has ever had. Nobody has
anything to say against the man who fought
bravely for his country on the battlefield
and has fought bravely and sk'llfully for
it in his place in the White House. He is
respected and admired, and now he has
the heartfelt sympathy of all the people.
The business of the government has been
we'll managed by him and his assistants
and advisers. No change is needed.
Tho workingmen have reason to be satia
fed with the present condition of things il
this country, business men have no cause
for complaint, professional men are get
ting good fees and good salaries because
other people are getting good wages and
good profits in business, and the outlook
is good, if the policy which has helped tt
bring all this about is continued. Perhap
the people see this better than some of tn
politicians think, and perhaps they ar
not making themselves uneasy over cam
paign which they intend to have end in
way that will not disturb the business o
the country and darken the present brigh

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
Will you kindly allow the suggestion
that the Public School battalion ought not
to become thing of the past, or be retired
to history with the campaign marching
club, but that hereafter it should form a
part of the Memorial Day parade.
The close relation that exists between the
public schools and the Grand Army posts,
by their liberal contriEut of flowers
and by the interest that they take in Mem
orial Day, is evidence that our suggestion
is practical one.

Under Life's sky, storm swept. cloud overcast,
Nv heart unshetered covers, and the rain
Doth beat against her pitiless. till, her pain
Benumbed at length by Grief's too piercing
blast,
Indifferent she beholds her greenery cast
To heavens four winds, nor seeks she to retain
Some fragment of her summer garment, fain
Herewith to bide her nakedness, but past
The season of her budding, mute and chill.
t'Here, Fate,' she thinks. ''thou hast no more to

When, midst the clouds, that darker grew the

Teaches her she has strength to suffer still,
And with one gleam Of joy doth all her pain re

one that should have excellent practical re-

man 20 Great Britain 20 report upon the con-

his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and all necessary information and as

audiences on literature, rhetoric and poetry.
She occupies in the annals of Islam posi-
tion of equality with the most distin.

fallen this lady had she hourshed among
the fellow religionists of St. Cyril can be
judged by the fate of Hypatia. Possibly
she would not have been torn to pieces,
but she would to certainty have been
burned as a witch. Dzat- t-ul- Hemma, cor.

1t is u calumny, therefore, to say that
the Islamic system has lowered the status
of women. The teacher who, in an age
when no country, no system, no commu.

married, mother or wife-who, in coun.
try where the birth Of daughter was con.
