History of Education.

DIR. William T. Harris, United States
Commissioner of Education at Washing
ton, delivered lecture on the .'Philoso-
ply of Education" on January 8, in the
lecture hall of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Physical Laboratory.
Every scat in the room was filed, sud
notwithstanding the fact that the lecturer
was annoyed at frequent intervals through
out his discourse by late corners, he sue
ceeded in producing distinctly favorable
not to say delightful impression.
"The Literature of the History of Edu-
cation was the subject of DR.. Harris fret
lecture. He endeavoFed to analyze the
methods and functions of education as un-
derstood by moderns, and to show the
the genesis of each of its roots. all of
which anciently had their being in differ
ent nations.
The aim of Chinese education was to
teach the young how to behave, that of
the Persians was to ride, shoot and speak
the truth, faculty not much thought of
by the Hindus. The Importance of study
ing history in analyzing modern educa-
tional methods could not be overestimated.
The Persian differs from the Buddhists in
that the latter wishes to get rid of the
world and seek the unseen, while the for
mer eudeavors to attack the real.
The Phenicians, again, had curious
ideas regarding the education of the fam
lily. They partook largely of cruelty and
their object was to wean the child from
the family, whereas the Chinese endeavor
to educate the young SO that they viii be-
come an integral part of the family. The
Phenicians aimed to create distinct in
dividuality. Their children were elu-
Gated in myths. The stories in Homer's
''Odyssey" must have been derived from
the tales of the Ph@nician sailors which
were calculated to eugenaer hunger and
thirst for education, so that the young
Phenician would gladly get on board ship
and go to be ends Of the world in the in
terests of trade.
The Greeks were imbued with the New
World principle of aispiritual and beauti-
full individuality. They thought more Of
the games which they practieed in the
evenings on the village green than Of the
tasks by which they earned their bread
Their minds were filed scholastically with
the second book of Homer's Iliad They
thought not Of commercial education like
the Phenicians, but Of that Of the heroic
individual who has beautiful ideal
Later on Greek education becomes more
scientific and were reflective. Even the Per
slams, who are 50 particular about telling
the truth, can only do SO in myth.

To Those who Write for the Press

1t would be great favor to editors and
printers should those who write for the
press observe the following rules. They
are reasonable, and are likely to gain edi-
torial approval:
Write with black ink, on white paper,
wide ruled.
Make the pages small, one-fourth that
of foolscap sheet,
Leave the second page of each leaf
blank,
Give to the written page an ample mar
gin all round.
Number the pages in the order Of their
succession.
Write in plain bold hand, with less
respect to beauty.
Use no abbreviations which are not to
appear in print.
Punctuate the manuscript as it should
be printed.
For italics, uDderscore one line; for
small capitals, twoi capitals three
Never interline without the caret TO show
its place.
Take special pains with every letter in
proper names.
Review every word, to be sure that none
is illegible.
Put directions to the printer, at the
head of the first page.
Never write private letter to che edi-
tor on the printers copy, but always on a
separate sheet.
Never roll up your manuscript. Fold
it fiat and with as few dOublings as posi-
ble.

Ceilings Should be White.


FROM lne DecOfalef duu furuisner-
The true function of the floor is to be
walked on: The function of the ceiling is
to reflect light. The function of the wall
is to serve as background or setting for
your guests and your pictures. In order
to see these to advantage the background
should be subdued in color, so as not to
intrude itself on your notice; also it is i'm
portant that the upper part of it, or frieze,
should be kept as light in color as possible
so as to reflect light to the opposite well.
Nothing is more fatal to the usefulness or
pleasantness of room than a dark ceiling.
Reflected light is necessary to enable us to
see into the shades of objects. and if the
light which enters BY the window is not
reflected by bright ceiling and frieze, the
shades on the faces of the people as on all
other objects will appear black. White is
the proper color for ceiling

A Trains Life.
From the Philadelphia Record


A prominent official Of the passenger
department of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company was asked the other day by
gentleman with whom he was travelling
to New York on the Washington ''limited"
express what was the average "life" of one
of such trains. "Well,'' he replied, ''that
in large measure depends on the length
and nature of the trains regular run.
Take, as the most prominent example we
could have, the limited express which we
run from New York to Chicago. The
average life of such train is a trihe over
six months, and the fact that such a train
goes to the shops to be thoroughly over
hauled and reftted twice year shows how
careful the great railroads are to keep up
their standards
"Very often the trains show but little
wear, and only here and there can the
result of six months use be detected, but
they are, nevertheless, ordered to the shops,
stripped of their interior fittings, repainted,
gone over by the workmen of every depart
ment that took hand in originally con-
structing them, and then restored to the
cabinet makers and upholsterers to be
turned out again practically new cars.
Another interesting point was that these
trains are not patched up" with new
car now and another new car again, but
are always sent out in completesets of cars
from the shops, and when this is done the
train which is taken off to give place to
the new one is used for some less disting-
uished run.

He Never watched the Clock.
From the New York Press.

"I attribute my success in life" said
Mr.. Huntington, the railroad magnate, to
me recently, ''to the fact that I never
formed the habit of watching clocks. As
boy on farm l can remember that the
men were always on the lookout to see if
it was not time to quit The man who
works with his eye on the clock to make
sure that he will not work over time will
never attain success. I have never paid
any attention to clocks II / had anything
to do did it. Show me the man who
watches clocks and. viii show you a
failure; show me the man who ignores
them and I win bet that he has been sue
cessful | have sometimes thought il
would be good thing to abolish clocks
altogether,

After awhile she raised her head, wiping
her eyes with her handkerchief. Her slight
figure and small quivering face made her
appear ike little girl. 81 am afraid that
| have acted like spoiled baby" she said
She smiled through the tears that ran down
her face.
The Duke laughed in his CHEEKY, infec
tious little way. "Yes'm," he said
Mrs. Hamilton ceased smiling. The
Duke looked at her, puzzled and wistful
Was she going to cry again ?
"Would you like to have me sing for
you ?" he asked. '.I-I sing real nice. .
She looked up inquiring at him. "It's my
Easter solo" he explained.
''I shall be charmed to hear it, she an.
swered smilingly. Sweet and clear rose
the boys voice. Mrs. Hamilton listened at
first indifferently, them with rapt attention.
''The day of Resurrection
Earth, tell out abroad;
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
From this world to the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over,
With hymns of victory"
sang the Duke His serene and beautiful
eyes smiled down into hers as his voice rose
and fell with the music of the song.
a will be good" sang the girls heart in
unison, II will be patient"
The Duke sang on gloriously.
'0ur hearts be pure from evil
That we may see Alright"
The girls uplifted face held something
holy in its expression. She was thinking
that marriage meant an infinite unselfsh-
ness, great patience; that all petty dis
pute lowered the ideal of welded life.
II have been selfish" she thought; Il
have considered only what my husband
might be to me, not what | might be to
him."
The Duke sat down on the window ledge
when he had finished. The delicate color
in his face faded. He was tired. 1t had
been a long, hard day His head rested
droopingly against the framework of the
window. His thin hands lay folded in his
lap. His eyes sought the patch of blue
sky visible between the buildings. A
sparrow few across the open space, its wings
flashing in the sunlight. 81 wish, he said
softly, as to himself, "that it were summer,
and the sun shining as it is now, and that
there were green fields around me"
"Yes, we must go there, said, Mrs,
Hamilton. She smiled at the Duke, but
she was thinking of her husband. She
put her hand before her eyes as if to hide
the great gladness in her heart. All, yes
she would be good, very good and patient.
The Dukes gray eyes looked up dream
lily at the blue sky. He was thinking of
white and pink blossoming orchards and
long grass and violets. And the Gladia-
tor and he would climb up in the highest
trees, and they would go fishing where the
water was like glass, with the blue sky
shining down into it. There would be
fluffy chickens with black beady eyes and
- he laughed softly.
Did he not know all about it2
But the Gladiator's heart was troubled.
His eyes turned wistfulIy to the Dukes
gentle face, upon which fell the pale, sweet
sunshine of the April afternoon. He
drew his little blue-and-white gingham
shirt-sleeve across his eyes. 81 WISH" he
thought, "I wish as l hadn't told him I let
him beat me on purpose"

An InIauiteus Amendment.

News comes from Dover that Re-
ceiver OF Taxes John I. Dickey has re-
eeived from the House of Representa-
tives that which lie asked In his amerd-
ments to the Five mmissioner Act
II the bill, as IL passed the House,
passes the Senate, his hours for sitting
to receive taxes in this city will be
from 10 to II u. IN. and to 5 D. m. and
that is all. No provision is mado to
sit an hour or two at night in any Fart
Of the year to receive the taxes of
working men who cannot well AFFORD
to lose time to pay their taxes through
the day. Last year. us the law origin
ally stood, the working people were
allowed the poor boon OF one hour in
the evening from Z to $ p, mo pay
their taxes; but now even this little
favor Is taken ftom them at the insti.
CATION OF John I. Dickey. who cares
more for cheating Republicans out of
their votes than he does for collecting
the taxes of the working classes.
1.-THE only class affected by this
change is the Republican working
man Even II he does make out to
get to the tax office during the day, he
Is made to stand by until property
owners are permitted te pay their
taxes. II the Republican pol! taxable
persists In paying his poll taxes, he
may have to 60 away and come back
again several times before he gets an
opportunity to pay. The law does
not work in this way towards Demo
eatic poll taxabies. Mr. Blckoy is
expected to take care of them at any
rate. and does not require them Il
come In person to the tax oIica To
pay their taxes, as, he does Repub
licms.
= lie secs to It that they all get thei
tax receipts without any loss of tim,
or trouble. He and his clerks in theil
spare moments make out rolls Of re
ceipts for Democratic poll tuxables
which are sent forth to ward commit
teemen, and given to ward runners
who are always sure to be supplied
with tax receipt by tho day of elee
ton. Republicans have no such ad
yantages. They are headed Off q
every turn. They have no sure hou
at which they can pay their taxes
They must go in person to pay OF no
pay at all.
The bill as it now stands ehou Id b
called San Act to empower John I
Dickey to cheat tho Republicans ou'
Of their votes As the bill has yet tt
pass the Senate, it is sincerely hope
that the Senators will rise above part,
when this measure comes before them
and SO amend the bill that it Will Civ
equal advantage TO all parties with
A out regard to politics to pay tLei
taxes.
