Among public school officials and ed

had every advantage for advancement
in her work. as her mother, Mrs. Emile

kindergartners in that section of the
country, and has been employed in the
schools of Boston ever since the incep-

The New York Herald has taken to
publishing regularly Il department
headed "Engaged.' Ii goes with it's
departments of marriage births and
deaths. so far nearly all the names
which figure in this department are
Jewish names. although occasionally
others can be found. 1t seems to us
that the Jewish custom of announcing
the engagement, and regarding it as al
most as binding rs the marriage, is
eminently a sensible one. The ridicu-
lous mystery which is thrown around
the marriage engagements Of young
people serves no possible end that we
can see. unless to give either of the
parties chance to play fast and loose.
In Europe the engagement is looked
upon as very much more binding than
here, not only in Jewish circles, but in
others rs well.

The friends and well-wishers of the
Salvation Army must view the present
antagonism between Gen. Booth and
his son Ballington Booth, the COM
mander of the American army, with
some anxiety. Until the exact nature
of Gen. Booths reasons is known it will
be hard to form a judgment as to the
merits of the case. Ballington Booth
has been at the head Of the American
army for nine years, and during that
time he and his wife have built up the
institution from bare squad Of pioneer
workers. He has won the affection and
goodwill of an enormous following,
and he, in turn, no doubt, has strong
desire to continue this work. At all
events, Gen. Booths order for him to
retire and take a command somewhere
else found him unwilling to obey, and
his father, with Spartan adherence to
discipline, dismissed him Immediately.
Whether the fault Of judgment is on
the sons side or the fathers, both men
acted with characteristic firmness. Bal
lington Booth refused to give up his
command, Out lie also Icl uSeu W avail
himself Of an opportunity which, in the
hands Of an ambitious man, might have
been put to selfish account. There can
be no doubt that with his strong infiu-
ence and popularity among the men,
bers of the American army he was in
position to create revolt in the ranks
1t is not beyond the bounds Of pos
sibility that he might have led a large
part Of the army to secede from Gen.
Booths rule and install the American
army as a separate branch. He was
loyal to his fathers organization, how
ever, even though he was unwilling to
obey one of the Generals commands.
The outcome will be awaited with inter-
est not unmiXed with apprehension.
The tone Of the comment on the schism
shows plainly enough the radical
change that has come over public opin-
ion in recent years. A very large pro-
portion Of the American people has
come to look upon the army as very
powerful and beneticent institution, do
ing work that could be done in no
other way, and worthy, therefore, of
support and approval

looking into the formation of the bed

granite, whose nearest home now is on

In the glacial gravel he came across a
rough arrowhead, which he attributes
to the glacial period, perhaps 100000
years ago.

Having purpose in life is essential
to right living. If a man does not know
what he is living for, he may well be
in doubt whether life is worth living.
Unless a man is living to a purpose,
he has either not yet begun to live or
he has got through living, and in either
case he is out of place in the world.
