SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEE

School Document No. 6, whi oh was prepared under the direction of the Connecticut Council of education, con- tains the following suggestions as to how to ascertain the qualifications of a teacher: :: "Many uperintendents and school off cers insist upon 8 personal interview with the candidate before making any con- tract. This course has much to recom- mend it as a general practice. Diplomas, certificates, and recommendations are so often unreliable, that it is more difficult to diagnose the written document than to read the candidate herself. Much may be learned of the candidates executive ability and common sense from her letters of application, and the manner of press. ing her claims for position. Buta close student of faces will rarely be deceived as to the general qualifications of can didate, while he may call in the aid of rec concentrations, and any other testimony to confirm his judgement as to special at- tainments. Uniform examinations for teachers certificates prevail in some States, and it might be supposed that this would solve the problem. At any rate this plan would seem to be great improvement on the loose and irregular methods which are in vogue in many places to-day. Examinations, oral and written, are of limited value only. They may show something of the teachers cQhnIa ahin thau uau niua nrt fho ra- suits of "cram," they can show nothing of the persons ability to impart. They are often inadequate tests of even scholar ly attainments. Scholarship is but one of the many essential requisites of suc- cessfGl teacher, and how far will an ex- animation go toward determining those other important traits and characteristics previously referred to? What kind of an examination will prove test of noble character? What examination can de termine the amount of common sense, oi | inherent tact, or natural sympathy g candidate may possess? What method
 of examination will reveal that marvel
 ous self control which enables teacher
 to control others with such apparent ease How can one reckon the per cent ol
 pedagogic instinct, or how estimate ths
 teaching power of a youthful or mex perienced aspirant for the position o1
 teacher, even after being satisfied as te
 character and scholarship? The examin
 CT Is obliged to rely on the testimony Q some one. The testimony of an instruc
 tor who Las been in daily contact with {
 studens for many months is valuable ol
 other points than simply scholarship TO. o. Wright.

'TRILBY" HAS ARRIVED IN GRAY's PLAIN.

 Her beautiful feet are as beautiful still as Little Billie sketched them and she is just as ready to pose as ever and shock little Billie. It is work of course ex- ceedingly Frenchy full of witty parenthe. sis--curved lines that Quackenbos could not tolerate. These lines excuse non- essentials but if non, why used? This sensational work, scholarly and fascina- ting, especially to one who understands both English and French. There is lady on Donlan Flats who can render the mysterious words and French &C., cents to the ordinary brain. But this work can be understood enough without translator! The contrition of Trilby after her shame caused by Little Billee's look of sorrow to see his dearest posing, gave her over to Svengale who inspired Trilby to become at one bound what the sweet and devoted Italian girl became to Mozart in the story of bis life by E. Pease. It seems as if George Maurier had read that more fascinating story that never panders to vice to sell copies in these degenerate days. But who can blame "The Harpers" for publishing story of such transcendant talent as Maurier shows. Nature stands naked without shame, miDored as she is and printed as Montague, Byron, Fielding and thousands good and bad have painted her! Who is to blame in this everlast- ing warfare between Bacchus and Men, tor, between vice and virtue ?-C 0. W. B.

continuous interchange of thought and feeling and ideas; purity in city govern
 ment means purity in village govern
 ment, and corruption in city life means corruption throughout the nation. Two- thirds of the towns in Illinois actually decreased in population in the decade ending with 1890. Why? Because the set of the current is now away from the town to the farm? Not at all. Because Chicago, the queen city of the West, like a powerful maelstrom. drew so much of the best life of Illinois into itself. What some of the methods of the present day are for evangeIizing these great centres of population will be told at the mis- sionary meeting in the Congregational church Sunday evening, April 28, at 7.30 o'clock. To all who would keep abreast with the movements of the day most cordial invitation to this meeting is ex- tended.
