a VICTORY FOR THE CEMETERY
Jones Loses the Case Growing Out
of the Refusal to Allow IA Burial.

oA the AEAuhAA ~ AAAuN "a
Atlanta, Ca. May 2.-The injunction
proceedings brought a week ago by J. p.
Jones to compel the Westview Cemetery
Company to allow the interment Of the
body Of his deceased aunt on a lot in West
view cemetery that had been only partly
paid for by him was dismissed by Judge
Lumpkin to-day, the cemetery company
being sustained. Jones in filing his case
alleged that he had made arrangements
with the undertaken to have the body in
TERED, paying for the digging of the
grave but that when the funeral process
sion arrived at the cemetery it was found
that no grave had been dug and he was
informed that the company would not al
low the interment of the body unless he
made a further payment on the lot, which
he had purchased on the insta4lment plan
several years ago. This he could not do
and the hody had to be placed in a re-
ceiying vault 1t appeared on the hearing
to-day that Jones knew of the refusal of
the company to allow the interment to
proceed before the funeral ceremonies
were held and on that account the court
refused to interfere to compel the burial
The case may. however be carried to the
supreme court.

Not His Legs.

A Russian peasant, having accumu-
lated a little money, took himself to
town to purchase a new pair of boots.
Returning homeward, he espied a lux
uriant spot for a siesta, and, being
tired. lay down for a quiet nap, which
developed into a sound sleep. A con-
s~cienceless tramp passing along the
road took note Of the peasants new
boots, and also of his own very poor
footgear, and decided an exchange
would be beneficial. And accordingly
he stripped the peasant Of his new pur-
chase and proceeded on his way. The
driver OF a passing wagon, seeing the
PEASANTS legs stretched part way across
the road, yelled for him to take his
legs out Of the way" :
"LegsT" inquired the half awake
peasant, what legs?" and then rubbing
his eyes, he stared stupidity ut his lower
limbs.
Drive on" said he; 'those legs ain,
mine. Mine had boots on"

this day has been looked forward to

the beautiful close of n long period OF
hard, patient. day by day work. A d.

portunity, perhaps the only one in their
lives, to appear in public has been the

Few pupils can study year after year
merely for the sake Of study or it's d.

bic. a tangible object to quicken their
purpose and hold them loyalty to It.

ments In the beautiful flowers that at

1t is sometimes urged that these ex-
hibitions are fitting for high schools,
but are too pretentious for grammar
schools. This is a mistake. Every in
ducement should be held out in the
lower grades to keep pupils in school
until they have the passable education
which the grammar schools afford. The
diploma, the graduating exercises are
OTTER the strongest incentives to hold
pupils in the grades until they have fn-
ished the prescribed course. 1t would
be a great mistake to underrate their
worth and pronounce against them

are the highest degrees each confers.
Professor March was born in Mil
bury, Mass, Oct. 25. 1926. He was
graduated at Amherst In 1645, and
after serving there as tutor In 1870
studied law In New York and was ad-
mitted to the bar. In 1855 he became
tutor in Lafayette College, where he
was made adjunct professor in 1856,
professor Of the English language and
comparative philosophy in 1857, and in
1877 lecturer in the law department. In
1870 he received the degree of IL. d.
from Princeton, and from Amherst in
1871. In 1887 he received that Of L. TX.
D.. from Columbia. In 1873 he was
elected president Of the American
Pathological Association, and in 1876

Weak Point In Our echooi system.
A writer In Scribner's takes up Presi-
dent Eli0t's assertion that instruction
IN preparatory schools is less thorough
here than in Europe, and after approx
ing OF 1t advances the theory that the
real fault lies ut the beginning with the
primary departments. He says: 1.-The
European methods Of primary instruc-
ton proceed on the idea that children
are young plants that develop by pas
siye absorption in the right conditions
OF growth, as a peach ripens against a
southern wall. They receive their daily
installation Of writing, spelling, gram
mar, in reiterative doses that have the
unhurried persistence Of suns and
rains" In this country, on the contrary,
there is a lack Of quiet and repose.
Everything goes with a rush. The
conscious self Of American boys and
girls Is earlier reused to action, and
they become individuals sooner; indi-
viduals before the time when it is pos
sible that they should be anything but
raw and immature ones Such material
is the hardest to handle in the final in
terest of culture"
There is a refinement of distinction
In all this that is not calculated to IL
lumine the subject, and that is not nee
essary, seeing that the facts are of the
most obvious sort. Primary instruc-
ton in the United States is carried on
principally in the public schools, and
by its very constitution the public
school system must be inadequate to
the needs of the pupils. 1t violates
the most essential Of educational princi-
pies in teaching by the mass instead of
by the individual, and this defect is now
and always will be una voidable. The
pupil as he Is finally turned out is a ma
chine-made instead Of a handmade
product. He has changed teachers from
year to year and missed that most i'm
rortant Of all things in education, the
personal influence of the instructor.
Read what Dean Stanley of Hughes
had to say of Or. Arnold and you will
appreciate what that loss means. The
American boy who has gone through
the public schools can summon up no
such memories. He has been put in at
the mouth Of the machine, passed his
teachers one by one like SO many cogs
on the journey, and shot out at the
spout. 1t is a case Of rough finish, and
there are a great many bad spots that
hayen't been treated:
The more elaborate the machinery
the more dpplOrab BILE is thu result. A
simple country school, with a really in
telligent and sympathetic teacher who
has charge from start to finish, is bet
ter than n of our big city institu-
tons with its eighteen or twenty rooms.
And born teachers are the greatest de-
sideratum of all. impossible to find in
anything like the requisite numbers.
