swung backward from the extreme Of
mass instruction toward the individ-
ual as unit. The recent experiment
in Pueblo, Colo, conducted by Sapt.
P. W. Search is full Of interest. Here
the pupil studies as an individual is
promoted as an individual and is
graduated as an individual. Yet
there is a thorough test Of each indi-
vidual on every part Of the work gone
over. The reaction toward individual
work is a healthy one.
Child study is attracting the most
earnest attention Of the most emil
nent educators and may be carried on
by every teacher in whatever grade
Of school. 1t is Of the highest value
and forms the indispensable basis OF
true psychology. In this method
teachers may find the highest pleasure
and profit and may accomplish that
which shall be Of real value in the
development Of that which teachers
seek to actualize--the science Of edu-
cation.
The Abilene high school singers
favored the teachers with several ex-
cellent selections during the after

Particulars ofO W. Sterl's Death,

Many friends in this city Of the late
o. W. Sterl will be interested in the
following account Of his death from
his home paper, the Rutland, Vt,
Herald:
Gen. Sterl died suddenly at his
home on West street at about 7
o'clock Saturday evening. He re-
turned to the city from an absence
about two weeks ago and had since
been somewhat indisposed, but had
yet been about the city nearly every
day and was out Saturday. He was
in the bath room washing his hands
and talking with Mrs. Sterl, appear
ing as usual, when he fell to the floor
and it was found that he died Instant
ly.
Oscar W. Sterl was born at Mass
illon, O., in 1887. He was taken to
Weimar, Germany, when he was six
years old, and lived there until he
was II. He was educated there and
there united with the Episcopal
church when he was IS years old.
He returned to Chic at the age In
Dictated and, at the breaking out Of
the war, enlisted and served three
months in the 10th Ohio infantry.
When the 1O4th Ohio infantry was
organized he enlisted in that, was
commissioned as captain and served
through the war. He was promoted
and made major and lieutenant col
onel, successfully, in 1868, and in
1854 was commissioned colonel, He
was brevetted brigadier general at
the close Of the war. He was twice
wounded in the service.
He married, January 5, 1870,
Elizabeth H., daughter of DR.. Cyrus
Porter Of Rutland, and come here to
live. He made his home at the Por-
ter homestead on West street, oppo-
site the park, finally became owner of
1t and passed all his days there. Gen.
Sterl had for IS years before his
death been associated with the whole
sale hat and cap firm Of R. E. Bonar
4 Co, Of New York, and much of his
time was taken either at the head
quarters Of the firm or travelling, but
he had a large acquaintance in this
town. His nature was strongly
social, he had the true German devo-
ton to his family and made many
strong friends here. He was an
ardent sportsman and never seemed
happier than when in the woods of
his adopted state.
Gen. Ster's widow and the five
children born in the family survive
him. Funeral services were held Feb
u and were attended by large num-
her M friends

shamed tho Dnches,.

An English woman of rank-a duch-
esss-was very apt to forget to pay
her bills. A milliner, whose large
bill had been repeatedly ignored by
the duchess, at last determined TO send
her little girl, a pretty child of ten
years, to beg for the money which
was so much needed. "Be sure to say
your grace to the Duchess" said the
anxious mother, and the child gravely
promised to remember. When, after
long waiting, she was ushered into
the duchess presence, the little girl
dropped low courtesy, and then,
folding her hands and closing her eyes,
she said, softly: "For what l am
about to receive may the Lord make
me truly thankful" AS she opened
her eyes and turned her wistful gaze
on the duchess, that light-hearted per-
son flushed very red, and, without
delay made cut "a check for the amount
due to the milliner.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK. Dun s weekly trade review says:
Neither the beginning OF the new year nor the
failure OF the currency bill has brought any
material change TO business. The idea that
business would suddenly take new start after
the holidays had rather less foundation even
than usual, but the hope OF strong revival q
little later is still Cherished by many There
has not been much time for change in the In
dustries, but differences observed since the
new year began are not IN the direction OF
higher prices or larger demand. There are
moro indications of late that stocks Of different
kinds OF goods have been accommodating In con-
sc lucnce OF past increase in production. Tho
iron industry Is doing vastly better than q year
ago, but Indications OF excess OF production
over demand are found in further weakness Of
prices Bessemer pig sells above the lowest
on record. Low prices have checked business
aud are attributed by some 20 the idea of pur-
chasers that the recent reductions in wages and
cost OF materials must be followed by still
iowor prices. But the main fact Is that con-
sumption Is below expectations The cotton

quotations OF cotton goods are the loves. on
