Early Methods of Teaching.

The earliest methods of teaching such
as must have existed in the Homeric period
and for centuries after, NJ AnatoIo France
describes, and the natural ones were those
the pedagoguc followed. The system must
have been one of constant repetition when
books were wanting. 1t was memory
which was cultivated. Explanations were
few. The precepts, once announced, were
to bo implicitly followed, because man had
nothing to do but obey. Tho commands
came from divinity. Faith then was early
impressed on the child. Kings and heroes
were to be honored, and, insisted the
teacher, "when you give hero a name,
forget not to add that of his father" and
that is process of nomenclature which
has only changed within the last 1000
years and Is not yet universal. Then some
old superstitions were added, and the con-
clusion was, "Should you be asked whence
calne these lessons Of song you shall an
swer, From the old poet Of Chios, and
he was told them by his father, and that
father spoke through the inspiration of
divinity" In many particulars the
change in instruction is not so manifest
today. How could it be otherwise?

EncOuraRing Paternity.

In this ultra fashionable age 1t Is consid-
cred vulgar to have too many children in
the family Tho genteel number is three
in Boston, two in New York, four in Phil
adelphia, five in Baltimore and none in
Chicago. In high society the old fashioned
mother is played out. Few women regard
it as la mode or CONNIE IL faut to be on
terms Of intimacy and endearment with
their offspring. We seldom hear of q con-
ventional society woman washing and
dressing her babies, brushing their soft
hair, tickling their footsy tootsies and ad-
dressing the little darlings in that Ian
guage which only a baby can understand
1 know mothers in this city who SEQ their
children once day and never think of
kissing them good night. And in the face
of all this hear that there is movement
afoot to organize society for the oncour-
ageincnt Of paternity New York Press.

Husband and Wife Kept Apart by tho In.

A we'll dressed woman walked into the
Crocker building one afternoon and took
an elevator Her husband saw her from
across the street and hurrying over took
the next elevator. He went to the Office
where he knew his wife had business and
found that she had stepped in and out and
gone down in the rext elevator. The ele-
vator dispatcher said to her:
"Your husband just went up in the ele-
vator. think he is looking for you.'
The lady took the next elevator up. Just
then her husband camo down. He looked
all around and then inquired of the ele-
vator man:
"Haye you seen my wife here?'
''Yes, she just went up this minute"
The man took the next elevator and he
was no moro than out Of sight when his
wife oamo down again.
"Your husband has just gone up again, u

"Well, I'll wait hero.
He waited about five minutes and then,
growing impatient, took an elevator up
stairs. She had been waiting for him and
came down again just as he disappeared.
"Well, will wait for him and catch
him this time" she said.
After standing in the corridor several
minutes she decided to go up stairs and
find him. AS she was whisked out of sight
he stepped out of another elevator.
"Your wifc has just gone up said the
elevator man.
The husband swore q little under his
breath and started to leave the building.
At the door he hesitated, changed his
mind and took the next elevator up.
Down came his wife at The same moment
''He's just gone up again." was the ele-
vator mans answer to her weary look Of
inquiry, "and he's mad as hornet"
"Then l had better go right up and
catch him." she said.
Up she went, and down he came.
"Just went up" remarked the elevator
man.

said he. I'm wait right here" And he sat
down on the stairs. Half an hour later he
was still sitting there, and his wife,

The Social Calls Nuisance

Kansas City woman suggests scheme
for solving the troublesome problem of
social calls: Her plan Is to establish a
sort or society clearance house, or club.
Where women may meet, drink tea, and
chat, and make that serve the purpose
OF the perfunctory visits which are now
Ion. 1t Is certain that nothing could be
more uninteresting or vexatious than the
present system of calling. In starting out
TO perform this duty the dearest hope of
the woman who ventures upon it Is that
she may find everybody upon whom she
calls away from home. II this expectation
is bighted, five, ten, or fifteen. minutes
are s1uandered in an innane exchange of
compliments or idle gossip and then the
caller moves on to the next station. A
woman with list of 800 or 400 calling ac-
quaintances Is compelled to make h q life
q burden or be considered out of society
The clearance club idea embodies the es-
Sence or great reform. 1t would do more
for. the emancipation of woman than the
ballot.-Kansas City Star.
