TRAINING OF TEACHERS.
An Innovation That Will Benefit the
Providence Schools.
Hereafter Candidates Will Compete for
Places and Win Only on Merits.

The feature Of competition has been intro
duced into the system Of training teachers for
the Providence public schools. Hereafter. in
stead OF % candidates preparing themselves to
fill the same number of positions. there will
be- 80 striving to secure half as many posi-
tions, and the rank in scholarship alone will
DO considered IN making the selections.
Formerly, 2 pupil teachers were appointed
every June and every January. Each lot went
through the training course OF six months in
the State Normal School. and one year under
a critic teacher in the training schools.
According TO tho new scheme the 80 have
been appointed together in June. They will
enter the Normal School in September for the
special course, ana at the end Of the first six
months the IS young women who rank the
highest will be put into the training school.
The other 25 will remain at Normal School
until the following June, making their course
Of training two years, instead of one year and
half. There will be no January appoint
ments.
This innovation was suggested by superin
tendeDt Tarbell. and endorsed and recon-
mended by the committee on grammar and
primary schools 1t makes the matter of final
selection purely a question of merit. The
brightest girls will get the first places, and
those who are somewhat behind viii be com
PEELED to do SIX months more work in prepara-
ton. The school authorities are enthusiastic
over the scheme, and say that 1t is the best
system that could have been adopted in the
interests Of public education.
The appointments were made yesterday.
There are in reality 20 candidates, instead of
80. The 20 extra names are put on the list to
provide for contingencies or allowances must
be made tor possible designations, as the re-
suit Of discouragement, change of mind, and
unforeseen marriages arranged during the
summer vacation at the soashore, and also
for dismissal because of ineficicncy.

The Class Grafton.

The Grafton by the class orator, Ches-
ter Willard Barrows, on "The Be
quest of the Teutons," was then de-
llvered. Nearly two thousand years
ago when Rome had reached the zenith of
her power, the Teuton was living in the
forest of Germany. His nature was coarse
and rough but he had true heart and a
bold spirit. Liberty to him almost meant
license. Life and liberty were synony-
nous.
At the present day our tendency is
toward the absolutism of ancient Rome
and we are prone to forget the influence
OF the Teutons. The Teuton was not a
sly, cunning, soulless man. He was frank,
open, and hospitable. Honest, simple,
plain, unfeigned honesty was good enough
for him, and we of today may well take
to heart the lesson so unwittingly taught
US by barbarians who lived two thousand
years ago.
But individuality was the characteristic
for which the Teuton is chiefly celebrated
in history. This 1t is which has brougt

pleasure. Although we must separate so

Annual Festival on the Brown
Campus.
Thous sands OF Guests Have Accepted
the Seniors Invitations.
Interesting Exercises at Sayles Hall.
The Concert and Spreads.

The prophecy OF the mfsu nthropic
sophomore that three foggy morn
ings would be followed by hard rain
storm, just because he had invited three
girls from as many different towns for
Glass Day, was not fulfilled. The Brown
Seniors OF 1895 have everything that
could be desired, SO far as weather is con-
cerned, for their Glass Day festivities,
which began at 10 o'clock this forenoon
and which will be over with sometime
tomorrow morning, when the last strag-
gle from the class supper lays aside his
cap and gown to get little of much
needed rest.
The day is also big success in all its
other features. There are more pretty,
well-dressed girl friends about the cam
pus than at any other Glass Day, because
there are more students to send out invi-
tations; the speeches of the young men
are all characterized by wit and other
qualities that make them worth listeni ng
TO, and the societies are not waiting for
evening before furnishing elaborate en-
tertainments for their guests.

dent, Harry Clifford WhippIe;
"The light of another Glass Day shines
upon Brown University, and another
body of young men, known this year as
Browns Senior Glass, calls it their day.
Today is the first and only opportunity
we have while in college to appreciate
precisely Just what we have won and
what we have failed to attend TO while
here. Our JOY is in the belief that the
victories far outnumber the defeats
How clearly we see this morning that it
Is TO our Alma Mater that we owe the
basis OF all our hope for that life upon
which we are soon to enterl That the
advantages we have enjoyed through
out these four years are superior TO those
ever given to any ether class, we know.
We know, also, that each succeeding
class will be more privileged than we
have been. And thus it Is thinking of
these things that we come to an appre-
citation of what we owe to our President,
so honored and beloved by all. Those
high ethical principles which you have
taught us this year in your mastery way,
more than all these, the example of
manly character which your presence has
kept before us from day to day, cannot
allow us to want for an idea of what we
should be. Each senior, as he. parts from

NOTE AND COMMENT,

DR.. Shuey, woman physician of Oakland,
after some twelve months of study and of
laboriOus research into the question, has de-
cided that bicycling is good for many women,
but that they should ride in loose, free cloth
ing and with light warm f1annels She there
fore advises boomers, and does not object in
some cases to knickerbockers, She is a mem
ber of the Oakland Board of Health, and de-
clares that for year she has studied the
whole matter, and is now convinced that
what American women need is more vigOr-
Gus outdoor exercise, and that there is none
TO equal that of the bicycle, but it must be
used in moderation, without corsets and close
and combining clothing. There must be free
dom for heart, lungs and limbs. Nothing, in
her opinion, will do SO much to equaliZe cir
culation, and that is the great need for Amer
lean women. 1t is the unequal circulation,
for one thing. that causes much of headache
and other aches, and of lassitude and 'that
tired feeling" She insists that the woman
rider shall sit nearly upright, and that gen.
erous and easy saddle shall be used. We
agree with her that the ideal saddle remains
to be made DR.. Shuey's final suggestion is a
wise one, namely, do not dismount While
moving. Stop the wheel and get of easily,
and without spring or jump.

A CORRECTION.

In recent editorial published In this
paper, the charge was made that the San
Francisco CdU had published the full
response of the agitators and trouble
Graham, and had not published inter-
views had by the its representative with
General Graham on this subject, in which
the officer set forth his reasons for the
act.
To this the Call replies by a statement
that in former issue, to-wit, on August
30th, there was published in the Call an
article containing an interview with Gem
eral Graham, In which his side OF the
question was fully given. The CdIL also
calls attention to the fact that it pub
lished General GrahRm's reply to the
resolutions adopted at the mass meeting
in Metropolitan Temple. and that 1t was
the only paper that did 80.
The CGLL charges want of journalistic
fairness in making statements concern
ing its course which are not borne out by
it's files. An examination proves that
the statement of the Call concerning what
it did publish is true, and that the failure
of the RECoRD-UNIoN to perceive the
former publication OF the interview with
General Graham led to what we believe
to be a perfectly justifsDle accusation
against our contemporaries for lack of
fairness. We give the Call the benefit of
this explanation, but we do it with the
distinct understanding that under analo-
gous circumstances of Misrepresentation
of the course of this paper, the Cali will
as readily, as fully and as magnanimously
make 8 like correction. 1t affords US
more than pleasure to establish this rela-
ton with the Call

sACRAMENTo's WELCOME.

The Capital City of the State formally
but not the less cordially to-day receives,
welcomes and entertains the Native Sons
of the Golden West, and aids them and
all citizens participating in commemorate
ing State anniversary which stands SO
high in the esteem and reverence of the
people of California.
If we did not think that such observ-
anoe tends to stiffen loyalty to the repnb-
lie. to educate youth to love its country,
to conserve commendsble local pride and
to stimulate home energy to make Cali
fornia all it should be. we would not COM
mend the festival and its consequent Ia
Dor and cost.
But holidays of this character ara ben
sficences, and therefore it is wise to pro-
mote them, freely but without extrsvs-
gance. To her guests Sacramento says
to-day, Welcome all; little crowded,
but we will be all the more sociable
You are greeted with open hands, warm
not boastful nor puffed with false pride
but she presents herself to-day with just
that pardonable tinge of vanity that all
men forgive. She has hung the latch
string out, she has set doors open, and if
after that there be some who are put to a
little discomfort because the city has SO
many friends. there is entertained the
hope that it will be forgotten In the sin
cerity of the effort of our people to de-
serve the smiles of our guests"
In the brilliant display Of colors, rich
mesa of decoration and the blaze Of the
light of second local celebration in honor
of our visitors. and, frankly, of ourselves
also, we typify the warmth Of our well
come and the openness of our greeting.
Sacramento hopes to find favor for her
deserving, moro than that she has no
right to expect For that which guests
find not to their liking, crossing possibly
their tastes and Objectionable to their
ideas of propriety, we must submit to
their criticism and take the rose with the
thorn, rejecting that after all there is no
community possessing all the virtues and
none Of the frailties of human nature.
The Capital City is in a transition state:
she has passed through several, but with
each has made such advance as she may
well be proud Of Now. however, she is
moving swiftly out of the old into the
era of newer and better things, and stands
upon the threshold of the most brilliant
promise of future, the door OF which is
aiar. So she says to her guests to-day:
''In all that calls for your charity bear
with us; in all that excites your praise re-
ioice with us; in all that promises for US,
hope with u.s."
