CONVENT BURNED.
One of the Finest Buildings of the Kind In
America ComDIefely Destroyed

One of the Finest Buildings of the Kind In
America Completely Destroyed.
MONTREAL, June9.-The magnificent
Vile Marie convent at Notre Dame de
Grace, two miles north of Montreal. the
largest establishment of its kind in
America, was almost totally destroyed
by fire. The total loss will amount to
more than $1,000, 0OO with an insurance
of 100000.
The fire started in that portion of the
convent known as the mother house"
and is supposed to have caught from
small stove which plumbers were using
while at work on the upper floor and
which was left burning while the men
were at dinner.
The mother house was occupied by
congregational nuns, one of the lead
ing orders in America, and is the place
where all novices are trained for future
religious duties. There were about $50
novices, together with large number
of sisters and servants, in the mother
house" at the time the fire was discov-
cred, all of whom were compelled to
make hasty departure.
The convent school, which, for its
historic association, was the most priced
portion of the group of buildings, and
which contained nearly 800 pupils at
the time that the fire was discovered,
was saved, after heroic work, by the
Montreal fire department.
When the fire was at its height the
dome of the mother house" fell with a
terrible crash, carrying everything be-
fore it. Chief Benert of the Montreal
fire brigade, who was working in close
proximity to the walls, was almost suf-
located by the smoke and was removed
| in a fainting condition.

sprang upon him without warming fasten-

teeth in his left hand.
Fortunately having a heavy navy re-

free, and not losing his presence of mind,
he shot the savage beast, and fell faint

Educational Ghosts

No man of to-day can practice any OF
the higher arts to the best effect, unless
he knows the history of that art. Our life
becomes extemporlzed and fragmentary
unless each man, taking up his work in
the world. not merely attaches his work
to the work of those who went before him
and begins where they left off, but also
knows something of the way in which his
art came to reach the point at which he
finds ii, and so is able to make the labor
which he adds part Of one consistent
and Ineligible progress, wrote Phillips
Brooks in one of his abest literary es-
SAYS, reprinted in the New England Mag
azine for Nav. We want to know the
blunders men have made, that we may
not make them over again; we want to
kr ow the grounds of the partial successes
they have achieved, that we may help to
carry forward their successes towards
their full result Let me remind you
what are some Of the values that belong to
the study OF the history of education.
First, there is the great general value OF
experience. TO know what other men
have done in the department where you
have been set to work will make it unnec-
essary that YOU should 90 over again what
they have already done. The student of
the history of education finds, to his
great surprise, that many OF the cduca-
tonal ideas of his own time. which seem
to him all fresh and new, were found out
lofg ago, were used awhile, and then
were lost again, only to be re-disCovered
at this later day. a wiser study OF educa-
tional history would have made this re-
discovery unnecessary, and so saved time
and strength II every generation has to
begin and prove over again that two
times two is four, what generation Will
ever get beyond the proof that ten times
ten is one hundredo And then, again, to
know how different studies came to be IN
troduced would often throw great light
upon TIE values of those studies. There
can be no doubt that many studies have
been introduced legitmately, for reasons
which were very strong. but which were
temporary, and then have renamed Ike
ghosts haunting our schools long after
their living necessity had died away. 1t
is always hard to get any study out OF our
schools when it is once in. Each teacher
learning it as boy is naturally ready to
teach it as a man. As John Locke says,
III Is no WOnueI IL tnOSC VIM MANI t"N
fashion suit it to what they have and not
to what their pupils want Here surely
is the key to great deal of the conserva-
tism and traditionallsm OF our teaching
and the surest way to break it down and
to get rid of it would be such wise study
of the history OF educat on, by those who
are to teach, as should show them how
the studies which they find in school
came there, and so help them to judge
whether those studies are to be dropped
as temporary necessities which have been
outgrown, or TO be kept forever because
they are forever useful.
