PUBLIC SCHOOL TRAINING,
Home Work for PUPILS,

To the Eltor Of The Evening Star:
In The Star of Monday last CORE
spondent opines that all teaching should
not be expected of the teacher; the par
ents should assist. Many parents would
gladly do SO if thew knew how, and In
no way can their assistance be obtained
so surely as by giving the scholars home
work This is done, but 1t is not done
regularly and methodically, or l am much
mistaken.
A correspondent who seems to speak
with authority says, referring to the pupils
of the Central High School:
Many of the students show plainly
that they have not been trained to hard
study, or even to doing a moderate amount
of it. The faculty explain that at least
quired. and yet they will tell you that
very few Of the students succeed in apply
ing themselves for that length of time
My individual experience is this: My boy
has since September last brought home
each day for perhaps a week school work
that has occupied him from O'Clock until
10. when he has lain his sleepy head upon
his pillow his task unfinished; then in
the succeeding week or longer he has
had no work. or SO little that fifteen min
utes have sufficed to complete 1t. 1t may
be said my boy has deceived me, but other
children in his grade have shown me the
same work Cor lack of it,; besides. If he
had been given work and failed to perform
1t he would have been detained after school
which has not been the case.
While l feel confident my boys teacher
knows his need and requirement in this
line better than /. ! cannot understand
why his home work should not be regular
and systematic. Per-
The children are released from school In
the afternoon at B; they thus have six
hours before bed time. Would not one

to executing tasks given by the teacher
leave them sufficient time for play, and
or Saturdays. when they have say. fourteen
hours Of leisure, ought they not have a
double dose?" Would there not be more
rapid progress and less complaint under
such conditions?
Some little fellows, and girls also. utilize
their Saturdays by helping their parents
or earning little money. but many. very
many, especially boys. absolutely live in
the streets that day. learning lessons
it is true. but lessons that are not found
in school books. N. A. Z.

Unsanit"rPr"ctice" in the Schools.

To the Elitor of The Evening Star:
Anent the diphtheria scare allow me TO
suggest that the practice Of some of the
teachers in calling in the school books at
night and giving them out again indis-
criminately in the morning is about as
conducive as any method that could be
devised for the spread of diphtheria and
other disease germs. Why should not 4
pupil be assigned books and be allowed
to keep them throughout the term? AS
soon as I heard of the above practice 1
bought my children a complete set OF
books that they could keep in their pos
session.
Another practice in the Washington
schools is offensive to sound sanitary no.
lions. Why should not each child be given
a numbered peg for hat and cloak, and
be allowed to keep 1t for the year? l do
not think the numbers would cost very
much and no more pegs would be required
than at present, although they could be
little further apart with profit We sup
pose the louise must good naturedly be
recognized as a school institution, but why
help him spread himself over heads where
his presence is recognized as an ofrense
and an unspeakable abomination? If the
house fly Is carrier of disease germs what
is to be said of this perambulating disease
spreader?
No wonder we have diphtheria, chicken
pox, measles and Learly every other con-
tageous disease in the Washington schools
The wonder is we do not have more NJ. u.

Mount Holyoke Alumnae,

Hartford, May 18.-Miss Ellen c. Par sons of the New York and Brooklyn Mt Holyoke association addressed the Hartford Mt. Holyoke Alumnae at the Y. M. c. A. building Saturday after noon, repeating substantially the Founders Day" address delivered by her last autumn. The address was a plea for the necessity of that continuity of noble Christian character and de- votion which had gone forth from the seminary prior to it's college charter.
 Miss Parsons, in the course of her address, said that modern civilization had relieved woman from much of the domestic detail which developed rare generalship in the women of the coun- try's early history, but there was still that need of the sturdy virtues with out which the social structure is great ly deficient and on the road to decay. The speaker quoted many instances of the devotion of Mt. Holyoke graduates in the nilsson fields of India, Turky and Armenia and of the service other grad uates had been in this country. It was the duty of the college to reverently conserve the traditions of it's past, to keenly observe the needs of to-day and of the future and to faithfully serve them. Then it would deserve the gifts of it's alumnae and it's friends in abund- ance.
 Miss Helen c. Flint, instructor in Mt Holyoke college, gave some account of the American Classical school at Athens Greece, where she has recently take a course of study.
 At the business meeting of the alumnae officers were elected as fol- lows; President, Mrs. George l.. Clark of Pennington; secretary, Miss B. L. Tillotson of Wethersfield treasurer, Miss Mary c. Cone of Hartford; execu- tiv committee, Miss Charlotte A. Jewell, Mrs. s. M. Capron, Mrs. N. Allen.

Launch of the soxereien.

New York, May 18.-M c. D. Borden's steam yacht Sovereign was successfully launched from Robbins & Co.'S Old Erie Basin shipyard at 12:15 o'clock to-day. Mrs. Borden christened the yacht as she glided into the water in a cradle.
 There was dismay among the guests who stood upon the platform when 1t was discovered that Mrs. Borden miss ed the bow of the yacht, and the bottle of champagne remained swinging in its sling of white satin intact It was a dry christening in more ways than one. As the yacht left the ways she was en- veloped in a cloud of dust. It was with difficulty that the ensigns of the New York, Larchmont, Seawanhaka, Corin- thian and Atlantic Yacht clubs, which were floating from the improvised masts could be discerned.
