DIR. nIILLspAUGH.s LECTURE.
His Subject ..science Teaching in Ell
ementary schools.

|
A large audience of teachers and
others interested in education greeted
Dr. Millspaugh. at the University last
evening, when he delivered a lecture
on Science Teaching in Elementary
Schools . In it he voiced some of his
well known and progressive views on
education.
| He described the comparatively re-
cent awakening of interest in scien-
tific study. Prior to this time the
classics had held the first and only
place in a college curriculum. But the
time came when demand was made
upon those educated merely in liter
airy lines that they could not meet. 1t
was found that more than a knowl-
| edge of the dead languages was ueces-
sary to convert the newly discovered
forces of steam and electricity into
agencies subservient to man. He would
not decry the great value of the clas-
sizes, but believed that the discipline
which puts man most completely in
possession of his powers is gained
through the pursuit of scientific stud
les
The interest in this branch of edu-
cation is growing, has indeed become
enthusiastic. The former method of
scientific teaching was fraudulent. 1t
afforded no training for the student.
The effectiveness of the training to-
day is due to the fact that the student
is led to make Investigations and ex-
periments for himself. The wisdom of
laying such stress upon scientific stud
les in higher institutions of learning is
generally conceded.
Text book methods in teaching
sciences have no place in school rooms.
The child should be brought in direct
contact with the object to be studied.
He should be led to discover truths
about that object himself Words are
practically meaningless in such studies.
There must be ideas, correct and
strongly impressed.
A question is sometimes raised as to
a pupils fitness, when in tender years.
to grasp scientific truths. He is pecu-
liarly fitted for such study at an early
age when his powers Of observation are
such as, to earn for him the title of a
natural imitator"
The introduction of science studies
into the elementary schools will tighten,
instead of increasing, the burdens of pu-
pills. There is a natural correlation be-
tween the rudiments of natural sciences
and the other studies of the curricu-
lum. regard for this correlation will
enable the teacher to impart truths of
science to her pupils with little con-
scious effort on the part of either.
The doctor gave practical suggestions
as to methods ct procedure in teaching
the rudiments of natural history, phys
les and chemistry
Miss Babcock read How the Old
Horse Won the Bet and THE Kitchen
Clock in very effective manner.

MURDERED BY HIGHMAYMEN.
A Story That Recalls the Cory Days
of Old.

Portland, Ore, July 2S-The stage which
left Mount Hood early this morning for
Portland, was held up by two masked
men who shot one of the horses and shot
and killed Richard Banlield, the driver.
When the stage reached the foot of
Laurel hill, about six miles west of Gov
eminent Camp, two masked men sprang
into the road from an ambush and shout
ed TO the driver to halt. The command
was delivered in such loud tone that it
frightened the horses. which became I'M
manageable and began running. The rob
beds, seeing that they might be thwarted
by the running away Of the horses, fired
at them, bringing down one of the lead
ers, thus entangling the rest and bring
ing them to a full stop. A gun was also
discharged at the driver, the ball passing
into. his heart, killing him instantly and
be fell from the box. Mrs. Julia g. Cald-
We'll one of the three lady passengers
exhibited unusual presence of mind and
rare horsemanship by cutting the dead
horse out of the team and driving the
stage to. Salem station, the next watering
place, where she gave the alarm and soon
afterward posse started out after the
murdererS and highwaymen.

observed a man walking up and down

Z was that the police were notified that
burglary was on. Captain Donovan, Po-
lice Commissioner Empey and several
officers went out in the patrol on The
double quick and upon their arrival at
the Monheim residence a systematic
search was inaugurated. The entire neigh
borhood had been aroused and the front
yard was soon filled with people. Upon
going around to the rear of the house
the officer found the hired girl ironing

THE RUBY AS FRUYT

The people of Burmah believe that the
ruby is a kind of fruit which will ripen
if you give it time. They say that most
rubies do not ripen simply because they
are not allowed to do so. If you want to
''ripen'' the ruby in your ring, according
to the Burmese idea, you must take your
ring and lay it in the sun for one month
without disturbing it at all, and at the
end of that time it will be ripe and
