The Century is famous for its great his

has a greater one been projected than
this new Life of Napoleon" written by
Prof William NJ Sloane, of Princeton,
who has spent many years in preparation
for his work. Thus far no biography of
"the man of destiny" has appeared in
either English or French that is free from
rancor and attentive to the laws of histor-
ical criticism. The Century HAS SECURED IT
THE GREAT. ALL-RoUND, COMPLETE AND IN
TEREsrING HISTORY of the life of one of the
most marvellous of men. No matter how
much you already know of Napoleon, you
will want to read this here is the con-
centration of all the lives and memoirs.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS WILL BE MAGNIFICENT
the wealth of The Century's art depart
ment will be lavished upon them. Two
members of the staff have just returned
from Paris, where they have been secur-
ing all that is best of Napoleonic material.
New portraits will be printed, great his
torcal paintings reproduced, and Cas-

drawn anew some of the great scenes of
Napoleon's life for this history.

Where shall We look for the most scientific
and eficient public schools In the United
ststes7 It will surprise many readers to learn
that we must go to indianapolis. Here. al
though the desiG nation OF teachers lies legally
in the hands OF the Board OF Education. their
selection has. In fact, been left In the hands OF
the Superintendent. In no way has politics az
fected the selection or discharge Of teachers or
in any other way interfered with the manage
ment OF the schools. We should add that the
teachers are either graduates OF the Indian
apolls Normal School or selected for pedaRoRi-
cal efficiency from the graduates OF other
training schools. To expound the philosophy
Of the work done in the Indianapolis institu-
ton would require a volume on the science OF
education. Still. q few words will indicate the
fundam entail principle involved. The princi-
pie underlying the method OF these schools is
known In the new education as the Idea OF
ratification which contemplates the COM
bination OF the various branches OF knowl-
edge so that they may acquire more meaning
by being seen in their relations to one another.
An isolated fact is food for the memory alone.
aud IL Ia only when this fact is seen in Its rela-
tion to other facts that 1t becomes interesting.
and the reasoning faculties are brought into
play. But, although uniflcntion has an OBJ
viously stimulating effect upon pupils 1t does
not, OF itself make a good school. because It Is
not the course Of studies but the teacher that
determines the character OF the Institution. A
mechanical curriculum exsrts cramping
pressure upon the teacher. and. with the In
PRODUCTION Of a philoso phical course OF studies.
this pressure 10 removed; but how much the
teacher will profit by the change depends upon
herself and upon the nature Of the guidance
she receives from others From this point OF
view the public schools Of Indianapolis. though
perhaps the best. cannot be described as per-
feet. because the teachers are not perfect. The
spirit OF the teachers 10 excellent. but their
professional efficiency is not yet remarkable.
There 10 no doubt. however. that the educators
OF Indianapolis are working In the proper
direction. that they have already accomplished
much. and are likely to accomplish more.
