The British Nruseum Ont.

One Of the best-known and most pop
ular domestic pets in London Is the
British museum cat. 1t is just about
twelve months ago since the animal,
which had apparently strayed from
somewhere, attached himself to the
porter's quarters, facing Great Russell
street. Being huge, gray, beautifully
marked cat he was encouraged to re-
main instead of being unceremoniously
driven off, as assuredly would haze
been his fate had he been possessed Of
fewer personal attractions. From the
first the animal has been a favOrlta
with the attendants and the general
public; now he constitutes one of The
attractions Of the great establishments
and is eagerly sought for by occasional
visitors, both adult and juvenile.
Lately the cat has considerably ex-
tended the sphere of his rambles. lie
occasionally invades the reading-roOm,
where he receives the attention of
stroking from even the most reserved
and studOus habitues. At nights the
animals parades the galleries and by
an odd fancy seems to prefer the Egyp-
tian room, where so many embalmed
sanctifed specimens of his tribe are ex-

The teachers Of this city, as in any

classes-those who teach as a trade,

preston of the force that is in them.

young woman often loses sight of the
one great end of life-there are so many
Objects-they come to teaching without
convictions. They are told that some
influential person will get them place

Vertical Writing,

After an exhaustive consideration Of
the question the Board of Education of
Boston decides in favor of vertical
handwriting, and ordered its intro
duction in a limited number of schools.
A report on the subject says: at is a
generally admitted fact that whenever
excellence in slant writing has been
obtained, it Has been at n sacrifice Of
comfort on the part of the pupils, and
Of time and strength on the part of the
teachers. The weight of evidence
seems to show that good vertical writ
ing can be obtained at much less cost
In the primary schools the children
seem to be INCLINED to write a round,
upright hand, and are with difficulty
forced into the angular, slanting style.
To develop and perfect this natural
hand has been found in practice to be
easier than to change it; so much
easier that competent judges have ex.
pressed the opipion that with vertical
writing there need be no special in.
structor in per4hanship after the fifth
or sixth year iAtsChool."

Court Offers a Remedy.

NOhAN ChNAb a ACuACuys
The Wisconsin School Journal says:
''We have Just received the decision Of
Judge @. V. Bardeen, removing from
office e. A. Strupp, Superintendent for
Schools of Marthon County, for in
competency and willful neglect Of
duty"
The importance Of this lies in the
judicial Interpretation given to
''incompetency,' which is made
by this decision to cover any
kind of "incapacity or unfitness to
perform the duties of Office" and which
may include "lack Of conception of the
duties and obligations imposed by law,
want of sufficient educational require
ments or mal-administratiOn in office"
If this decision is good law, as we must
assume that it is until reversed by the
Supreme Court, a high legal standard
has been set for the county superln-
tendency. This decision is far reaching
and important. want of sufficient ed
ucational requirements" is a matter
easily proved, The apparent lack of an
educational standard for county super
intendents has been frequently COM
planned of. We have now judicial in
depreciation of the law, which shows
remedy, perhaps not so effective as
statutory qualification for the office,
but still remedy against unqualified
superintendent.

Bar. 1t is therefore absolutely clear
that If all the fleet We're temporarily
absent, either on some special mission
or dispersed by storm hostile iron
clads taking up position within four
miles of the eastward of Europa Point
might with impunlty send shot and
shell into the outlying ports Of the
fortress and cause much destruction of
life and property On the other hand,
the Governor of the fortress would not
be idle, and the experiences of the late
civil war in America have abundantly
proved that the cannon In fortresses, II

age. 1t Is practically impossible to
throw shot or shell over the high part
Of the rock, near Spain, and the cannon
ensconced in the unique rock galleries,
with their royal artillery gun detach-
ments, would be absolutely safe Even
If the neutral ground between Gibraltar
and Spain were occupied by hostile
foe, comparatively little damage would
be the result, During the writer's stay
at Gibraltar it was considered desirable
to try the experiment of firing upward
from the plain on the Spanish side into
the galleries. dummies being placed to
represent the necessary gun detach-
ments. A regiment several hundred
strong was accordingly placed in posi-
ton and supplied with ball cartridges.
The range, however, was unknown,
and the fire being directed upward, 1t
was fully an hour before any of the
dummies were hit, after the eXpendi-
ture of much ammunition. In actual
warfare, Of course the British rifle
sharpshooters must have picked out
their foes by firing downward from the
galleries. Bomb-proof barracks and
hospitals are potent factors against the
horrors of bombardment, and there Is
little doubt that there Is ample room at
Gibraltar for some amendment on this
head.

Estimnte of Childhood.

No man succeeds in any science, art
or profession who does not have high
appreciation Of the material upon
which he works. No artist of dlstinc-
ton will put any great skill or patient
endeavor upon n piece of marble in
which there is the suspicion Of flaw
He has to believe that the block upon
which he works will add every natural
attraction to his art and that 1t will
make it as enduring as time itself.
In the same spirit must the teacher
carve character, intellectual and moral,
in the child. He must have unswerv-
ing faith in the possibilities, probablll.
ties, and permanency of whatever of
high art he puts into his work. No
teacher ever does, or can do, the best
work who openly or secretly distrusts
the child-nature. A classic incident
that cannot be too familiar to parents
and teachers tells how Antipater de.
manded Of his conquered enemies, the
SpartanS, fifty children as hostages,
but they begged him instead to select
100 men Of distinction as being less of n
national sacrifice. What change
would come over the pedagogical world
If the teacher could realize that the
fifty children in his room were Of great
er value to the nation than q hundred
men of distinction! Listen to the home
talk, street talk, society talk of a teach
