DR. j. M. Rice, whose articles on
our public school system IN The
Forum are attracting attention, was
brought to consider the subject years
ago because in his medical practice
in New York city he saw such grave
results from inattcntion to the phys.
ical well being of children in the
schools If the child's physical well
being were neglected, he reasoned
that their intellectual well being
could not be well cared for. This
idea took such possession Of him that
he abandoned his medical practice
and set to work TO make a thorough
study of tho proper principles, phys
ical and psychological, of primary
teaching. Ho lived several years
abroad and Travelled much in the
United States as well.

Henry Shaw, who IL regarded by
81. Louis as It's greatest benefactor,
was an Englishman by birth, who
made his fortune In tho hardware
business and retired at the age OF
forty. Passionately fond OF flowers
he established a botanical garden just
outside the corporate limits OF IT,
Louis, and there he lived in tho sum
mer time, returning to the city in
winter He constantly improved and
added to the territory of his flower
land, until Sbaw's garden became
one OF the most famous resorts for
visitors in the southwest. His resi-.
dence and grounds were at all times
open to sightseers and his hospitality
was unbounded.
In 1870 Mr.. Shaw gave to the city
Tower Grove park, adjoining his
garden, and enriched and beautified
1t at his own expense. He also gave
literally to Washington university,
and In all schemes for public i'm
provement and charities he held out
an open hand. BY the terms Of his
will the beautiful garden came into
possession Of the city, and Is the best

compelled 10 close its doors, and w. M.

TO the had work of Howard Bullltt, the

hank very seriously-so much so that the de-
