is desired at this time by the men, and

list with Engineer Best, who, during the
strike, took a passenger train out OF the
depot here. and, asserting the cab, left the
train standing on the main line at Como.

E. ". Scripture. who read an interesting
paper on 1.-THE Present Status and Aims
of Child Study"
Mrs. Lulu Medbury Chapman followed
with brief discourse on the subject OF
child education.
The speaker advocated q system Of OBJ
serving the infant from the cradle and
carefully guiding its instructive nature in
the ways to which it seemed most adapted.
By this process the mind could be fully
cultivated without affecting its normal
condition. Self persuasion was held as
the natural inducing power which must
be applied with sternness and dignity.
The comparison OK the city and country
child was drawn in order to illustrate
the different results attained from the two
extremes of rearing. The child OF the
fields, free from the hustle, turmoil and
temptation surrounding the youth of large
cities, Is naturally the more matter Of fact
and sturdy of the two. though the ''city
boy" is quicker, more to the point. and
possesses worldly knowledge far superior
to that of his brown-faced brother from
the foothills.
T. w. A. Luckey related his success 10
investigating the color sense of children
through a system inaugurated by himself.
His plan to study the radius of the eye.
is to have the child seated short distance
before light background with the roint
of vision in direct line iu front. Colored
beads are then passed in from the side at
the end of light wooden bar at varied
angles, thus giving correct circled dia-
gram of the varied radius. This is marked
upon chalks and the operation is repeated
occasionally in order to judge effect of age
on the optic organs.
Six colors are used in the experiments.
all of which have definite range. The
blue is invariably discerned first. the red,
green, violet, ETC., following in order.
1t was found that age increased the
radius in the greater number of cases ex-
amined.
Mrs. Charles Slack followed with a
highly instructive paper on 1.-THE Study
OF ChildrenS' Interest in Stories"
From an actual examination Of the SUBJ
ject, the speaker maintained that above all
subjects the majority of children under the
age OF 10 years sought for tales of ancient
folk lore.
L. w. Scripture then entered into Ion z
detailed address as result of his expert
mentiDg in New Haven schools.
Miss Kate WertZ's paper on "Adoles :
cence," was listened to with marked atten
tion, and proved to be of most inter est
ing nature.

To Tate's intense surprise they imme-

they were joking at first, but when they
advanced upon him in a threatening
manner he saw that they meant business.
He ran toward the side door calling for
help. They rushed upon him, gripped
him by the throat and threatened to kill
him if he did not hold his noise and hand
over his money. They dragged him back
into the center of the store, he all the
time fighting desperately to get out of their
clutches. In the struggle his coffe-
machine and scales were knocked over
