thing is done according to rythmic law.
Universal purpose is the essence of the
new education.
DR.. Dressler of the state normal
school talked very earnestly in behalf
of an effort now being made to provide
a new course of study for schools. Teach
ers are ready and willing to work. but
they lack specific directions in the phil
Osophy of education The new course
must be psychological and not
logical. We know so little about
children and nothing has been
so beneficial to children as child study.
What is needed more than course of
study is course of growth.
Prof Brown of the department of ped
agogy at Berkeley opened the discussion
concerning the new movement for
change. He did not know what would
be the outcome. but they should aim to
simplify and enoble the course and fit
the child for the world into which he
will enter in after life.

STOPPED A RUN ON THE BANK.

story Illustrating the Character Of ths
Late william H EngIish-
From the Indianapolis Sentinel:
Those who remember the failure of the
Ritzinger bank in this city will recall
the nervous fever of mistrust which
went abroad In the community and
which within brief space Of time after
tnat bank closed its doors led to an In
eipient run on the Fletchers' bank,
which movement momentarily grew IN
proportion until early one morning q
line OF depositors reaching nearly from
the latter banking institution to Merid-
ian street was waiting for the Fletchers
70 open their doors to begin the presen-
tation OF checks and the demand for
deposits. 1t was then that the sturdy
character Of Mr.. English asserted itself:
IL was at that momentous hour that he
proved himself equal to a trying emer-
gency. On his way to his own bank he
notced the knots of men gathered in
tne vicinity Of Fletchers' bank and saw
tne line forming toward the entrance.
Tnere were business men In the line
VINO knew Mr.. English we'll and there
was not one who did not know that his
word was as good as his bond. With
out moments hesitation he forced his
rugged form through the crowd and
stationing himself at the very doors of
tne Fletchers' bank began the self-im-
posed duty Of stopping that senseless
run. AS fast as men could come to
the door he would ask them IL they had
doubts OF the safety Of their de~osits
with the Fletchers. He gave them as
surance that there was not at that time
more thoroughly solvent banking in
sutution In all the state Of Indiana than
the bank upon which they were precipi-
, tating run without reason, and to each
individual he said: IF you think your
money Is likely to be lost let me en-
uorse that check and then take It to nv
bank. / will take all OF that kind of
paper that can be brought to me-"
Within the hour William H. English
thus soothed the anxieties of the de-
positors aud when the word went out
that he had given his assurance that the
bank was safe men went to their places
OF business or labor and a perfect quiet
was restored. His name had been
placed on nearly $4,000 of the paper of
nervous depositors of the Fletcher bank.

SCHOMBURGK LINE.
The Botanist Who Drew the Boundary
Once Lived In Richmond.

The Botanist Who Drew the Bounoar,
Once Lived In Richmond.
An interesting fact in connection
with the famous Schomburgk line,
which has escaped observation, is that
the man who provided the British
government with that boundary came
to this country from Germany when he
was 21 years old and after working for
some time as a clerk in Boston and
Philadelphia became a partner in a
Richmond Va) tobacco mandatory in
1928.
The factory was burned and Schom-
burgk drifted to the West Indies,
where after unsuccessful ventures his
botanical works attracted the atten-
tion Of the London Geographical so
ciety, and he secured means to explore
the unknown region Of the Orinoco.
where he travelled from 1888 to 1889,
and discovered the Victoria Regina lily
and numerous other plants. This work
led the British government to commits
sion him to suggest a boundary be-
tween Venezuela and Guiana and to
make further explorations. The line
was drawn and he was knighted by the
queen for his services. Schomburgk
until his death, in 1865, continued in
the British consular service, but de-
voted himself chiefly to geographical
studies, being a member Of the princi.
pal American and European learned
societies.

the knowledge, that so many forms of

ly removes. That is why it is the only

effects are due to the fact, that IL is the
