HOPPING IN GEORGIA,

Those who like to hop and to see others
hop will look upon Judge Clark of the
Superior csurt of Georgia as an upright
and a just judge. Those who do not like
to hop or to zee others hop will look upon
him as an enemy of society and in league
with Satan, whom they suppose to be, for
reasons of his own, particularly friendly
to hopping
The case in which Judge Clark decided
in favor of hopping is very interesting
one. A military company composed of
young men living at Ltthonia planned a
military hop. They rented the chapel of
the Lithonis academy. All arrangements
were made. The invitations were issued.
The members of the military company. with
other gentlemen whom they had invited as
their guests, had made engagements with
ladies to be present on the occasion. The
suppers, including ice cream, cake and
Roman punch, had been ordered. Then
the anti-hoppers appeared on the scene, and
were they not pious 1t would not be too
much to say that they were hopping mad.
They didn't intend to have the chapel of
the academy desecrsted by military hop,
and they applied to Judge Clark for an in
| junction to stop it. He refused to grant
it, holding that the charter and bylaws of
the Lithonia academy did not prohibit the
use of the academical buildings for dancing
| entertainments. He went further and held
that any rules prohibiting the meeting of
young people of both Eexes for innocent
purposes would have been contrary to
| public policy, and therefore would have
been void. With judicial dignity and can
dor he stated the reasons for his decision,
which was given about the time the dance
was to begin. He said Under the circum-
stances, think this dance will have to go
on. 1t would not be right and proper for
me to interfere at this late date. The
young ladies have gone to q great deal of
trouble, know, in preparing their dresses
with all the fancy dxipgs known to young
ladies, and the young men have bought
swallow-tsiled coats, low-cut vests and
fancy bosomed shirts, and 1t would be
highly improper for me to stop the dance
st tn is critical period. Then, again, If
were to stop this ball, it might break up
several weddings, and the most serious con-
sequences might follow, SO 1 feel it my
duty to say con with the dance"
The dance did go on, and while it was
going on the snti-hoppers held q prayer
meeting in house near by. and heartily
lamented the wickedness of the hoppers
There is room for some difference of opin.
ion about the wickedness of the hoppers
but none about their lack of taste and tact
A chapel isn't exactly the place to hop in

TProf. J. NJ. CatteIl in the Educational Review.l
The senses and faculties have been
studied hitherto by men of science, who
have mostly made the determinations
upon themselves. This is a necessary be-
ginning, but now that methods have been
elaborated, Ii is very desirable that the
measurements should be extended 50 as to
include different classes of persons. There
are no individuals better suited for such
experiments than the pupils in our schools.
They are classified according to age, 40
quirements and sex, and the teacher has
considerable knowledge of their ability,
character and heredity. Tests made at
the beginning and end of the day, week
aud session would show whether the stu
dent is exhausted by the required ourricu-
lum. They could be used In comparing
different systems of education, different
schools, the advantages of city and ooun.
try, etc. They would show whether girls
are able, without injury to health, to fol-
low the same courses of study as boys.
Careful tests must almost of necessity be
introduced into the public schools. If at
tendance be msde compulsory, the state is
undOuDteQly reepOnslDl9 1Or any D&o con-
sequences which could be avoided.
Thus, If the eyesight of a student be in
jured SO a. to involve a loss of ability to
earn q living, the state would, under our
present laws, probably be lisble for dam.
ages. In many cases tests which could
readily be made would indicate disease, ca.
pscisily of the nervous system, long be.
fore 1t becomes apparent to common oh
servation. The tendency to certain dis.
eases counter-indicate certain employ
ments. Thus q very large percentage OF
women teachers become insane; conse
quently those having homeopathic tenden-
cies should not enter on this profession.
One boy in twenty Ia color blind, and this
| defect, which Is never discovered by the
individual himself, but may be determined
| BY the teacher In one minute, units him
| for work SO far separated a. those of the
| railway signal man and of the artist. Al
4 our knowledge increases we shall, on the
| one hand, be able to indicate very early ir
| the life of the child tendencies to insanity
and other diseases, to dipsomania and 9th
| er vices, and to crime, and precautions
| may bs taken which will limit tho range oi
these abnormal tendencies In the individu
al, and prevent their spreading in the race
On the other hand, valuable qualities ma,
be early discovered and developed. Spec
ial aptitudes will not be lost through I'M
suitable surroundings and uncongenia
| work, but the child may be led to tn,
course of life in which he win be mos
happy and most useful.
Experiments can be made In an hou
which would lsave . record of psrmanen
value both to science and to the individus
student. If the experiments be regardst
as a means of training and made part O
the school curriculum, and an hour q wesl
throughout the year be devoted to them

THE STATE PRISON MATTER,

THE STATE PRISON NATTER.
It is hard to tell just what the house is
up 10 in the State prison matter, but 1t Is
to be regretted that there is any ground for
the charge that politics has got into the
case. What is wanted is an investigation
30 thorough, 80 open and 80 fair that no
suspicion can attach to 1t or to its result.
If the warden and the prison directors
have done their duty this ia the kind of in
vestigation they should want. If they or
their agents are trying to fix the investiga-
tion to suit themselves 1t is good
ground for suspicion that they fear
the result. They should let it alone.
1t is all right enough to argue that the reg
ular committee can do the investigating.
1t can, but q special committee can do 1t
just as well, or better, and as the idea
seems to prevail that special committee
is not wanted by the warden and the
directors, 1t would seem wise not to appear
to pay too much attention to their wishes.
Their rights ought to be carefully consid-
cred and guarded, bat there is no obligs-
Investigators.
Representative Hotchkiss spoke boldly
and clearly upon the matter yesterday.
He very properly argued that the
committee should bs non-partisan and
made In such way that its report
will carry weight. Serious and spe-
cifc charges have bsen made. They
should be seriously, honestly and openly
considered. If through stupidity, maneu
vering or partisanship any other course Is
taken it will hurt and disgrace everybody
connected with 1t. 1t is important that
the warden and the directors shall be
cleared if they justly can be. 1t is more
important that the State of Connecticut
shall not be put in plecs where 1t can,
with any show Of fairness, be accused of
toierating humbug investigation and dis
regarding even the meagre rights of con-
vict humanity.

With days that have no peace,
With little hands to hinder
And feeble steps to guard,
With tasks that lie unfinished,
Deem not your lot too hard.

Are hidden out OF sight;
Where never sound OF little feet
No tiny hands that fast undo,
That pull things all awry,
No baby hurts to pity
AS the quiet days go by.
The house is all in order
And free from tiresome noise,
No moments OF confusion,
No scattered, broken toys:
And the children's little garments
Are never soiled or torn,
But are laid away forever
Just as they last were worn.
And she, the sad-eyed mother
What would she give today
To feel your cares and burdens,
To walk your weary way!

Could she again but see
The rooms all strewn with playthings
And the children round her knee!

FASHION NOTES.


Fashion will have hard time robbing
those who like it, of the soft careless coil
of hair that draws the locks softly back
from temples an forehead. and up from
the naps of the neck, q few snort locks
escaping all around, some at the ears and
temples and brow, some to lie prettily on
the neck. 1t is the sort of hair-dressiDg
that genuine carelsssness, coupled with
naturally crinkled and soft curly hair, can
alone accomplish in all Its perfection.
But 30 graceful is it, so suited to the usual
round face and pretty throat of the Amer
loan girl, that even If tongs and calcula.
Morning journal and courier., 1893-03-30

tions have to be employed, there will be
many who will find this mode best suited
to them, and so, let us hope. 1t will con-
tinue to be used by such. The hair can be
parted or not over the crown of the head
and at the forehead. The coil big or
loose, and at Just the easiest place for 1t to
feel comfortable. The only necessity is
that the hair shall seem to have been care
lessly gathered in the way 1t happened to
want to go, snd hair, like flowers, ar
ranges itself more artisticslly than manip-
ulation ever does. OF course Ornamental
tIon is rather out of harmony with such
an arrangement of hair. At most loose
rose tucked In at the side, to stay or fall
out is all that is appropriate. The girl
who weara her hair thus should always
wear it 80. Its careless grace is quite as
effective with an evening gown as with a
morning dress. Indeed, the shape of the
head and the rounding of the neck seem
all the prettier for the simplicity of the
hair, when low cut dress gives all the
other contours full display. Let the girl
whose hair suits this style refuse to change.
She will be the envy of many, no matter
what others are doing. FLoRErTE.

the sharpness be defective an oculist
should be consulted, as the difficulty Ia
usually mechanical and may be readily
corrected. Each eye should be tested
separately, as one eye is often detective
and an excess Of strain lie needlsssly
thrown on the better eye. Color blind
ness may be detected by letting the stu
dent select all the green shades from q
heap OF oolored woods, and more exActly
determined by mstshing colors on re.
volving wheels. The perception of siEe.
distance and solidity with one and with
two eyes may be studied and its exact
meas measured. The sharpness of hear
ing may be tested by determining the
distance at which the ticking of a watch
can be heard. The test should be made
for each ear separately. The range Of
pitch which can be heard varies consid-
erably with different individuals, and
this may be determined. The ascurscy
with which small differences In pitch can
be distinguished and with which inter
walls can be adjusted should be measured.
Time is often misspent by girls who
learn to play the piano mechanically
with no ear for music. The exsctness
with which distance and direction can be
recognised with the ear may be meas
ured. Learning to distinguish the sim
pie tones In q complex sound is O useful
training. Touch must be tested and
trained by determining how far apart two
points must be Il order that thsy may be
recognized as two when they touch the
skin. This distance differs greatly In diff
ferent parts of the body. Taste and smell
are neglected. senses, and ones peculiarly
open to education. Feelings of pleasure
and pain may be tested In such q oourte,
and possibly elementary esthssic peroep-
tions trained. Imagination, memory and
the association of ideas may be tested.
