THE election of H. D. Money to the United States Senate by the Legislature of Mississippi, is a de- served compliment to an able man. MT. Money is one of the foremost of Southern statesmen, and his pro. motion to the Senate is a fitting rec ognition of bis long and brilliant service in Congress. Mir Money be- gan his Career as lawyer, but on account of failing eyesight, gave up the practice of the law and became the editor and proprietor of news paper. He was subsequently, elected to Congress, where he has served five terms.

OWING to the earnest efforts of Minister Terrell, on the part of the Government of the United States, the Sultan of Turkey has granted permission to Miss Barton and her party 10 distribute relief to the dis tressed Armenians, although he dis tinetly refused to recognize the Red- Cross Society or permit Miss Bar ton to go as the societys represent ative. She is allowed the privilege simply as an individual and as 3 courtesy to this Government.

tion and construction being care fully marked in red ink and the papers are then returned to the pupils to be examined, that they may get the benefit of painstaking corrections made by the teachers.
 This must involve an immense amount of work for the teachers, , interDosed the reporter.
 Yes; but they do it eheerfally. The truth is that the teachers do a great deal of work of which the world knows little. In these days of progressive teaching no teacher can long hold a place who does not do @ great deal for her pupils out of school hours. In the mere mat ter of every day work they have great deal of extra work to do To illustrator: We have teachers of history in our schools who con stanay read five or six different text books besides the ones taught in school In this way they are able to come to their classes literally filled with their subject and with such a teacher the long est recitation period is short in- deed. Pupils have little respect for teachers whose knowledge $ limited by the few facts stated in the ordinary school text book. But you asked me to tell about examina- tions and not about teachers. ?
 By whom are the questions prepared?7 asked the reporter.
 "The School Board has wisly provided that the Superintendent shall prepare the questions. This is the only way to secure an educa- tional system. A school system is a piece of mechanism in which each teacher prepares part, and in order that the whole may be properly made it is needful that each part may be made after pre-arranged plan. This method, too, prevents mannerism on the part of the teachers, and tends to prevent them from neglecting CT emitting wook that is valuable and important. Moreover, it gives them absolute freedom in drilling and reviewing classes If teachers were to prepare their own questions it would be difficult to drill on the more important parts, and vet escape the occasional 'cramming for examination But though have said little about examination. it's character and effects, I think I have said quite enough for one time, and with this the superin- tendent excused himself and passed on.

Thinking that the readers of the GRAPHIC, many of whom are patrons of the public schools, would like to know something definite in regard to the object, extent and character of the examinations held during the past week in all the public schools of the city, reporter sought Superintendent Hinemon and interviewed him on the suo- ject Saturday.
 sIs this an examination for promotions, asked the reporter.
 No, said the Superintendent. "Our schools are not yet so ar ranged as to permit mid-year pro- motions. Thus far the grades are one year apart, and promotions, by grades, are made only at the close of the scholastic year A few pupils who show by their examina= tions, as well as by their daily work, that they have been classed too high will be transferred to the next lower grade. This the interest of the child demands. It is needless for a boy to try to do school work
 that is beyond his preparation. Many bright child has had it's entire educational career bIigbted by being placed in class too far ad dvanced for it. Failing to com prehend the work done by the class the pupil soon becomes dispirited and ultimately comes to look upon the work of the classroom with abso- lute disgust, and is only too glad of some excuse to leave school. We have no established grade of per cent, that pupils are required to make in order to continue with their classes. The truth is that those who are best in either classes ao not always make the best grades in examination, and therefore 1t is manifestly unjust that the pro- motion of pupils should depend exclusively, even largely, on the chances of an occasional examina- tjoo and yet written examination affords an insight to the pupils work that the teacher cannot get in any other way.
 aThen your examinations are in writing, said the reporter.
 "Yes;o responded Prof. Hinemop you may say they are wholly in writing. True, part of the ex- animation in reading is oral, but only about one-fourth of it.
 How is an examination in reading conducted?" asked the 
 Well, we have in all subjects ten questions, Each of these has a value of ten credits, making a total of one hundred credits on each sub- ject. We give, perhaps, forty credits to oral reading, the remain ing six questions consist in de- fning words found in the reading lessons, construing sentences con- taining certain words, giving the name and force of punctuation marks, etc. Do you know that in many schools the reading lesson is a mere word pronouncing ex- ercise? The object of reading is, to get thought from the printed page, and this our teachers try to do by having the pupils write abstracts of the reading lessons, by frequent discussion of the articles read, etc. Therefore, when we examine a class we often ask the pupils to name their favorite piece, give the reasons etc. In other words, we strive to get them to givs aitta- to the matter they read as wei as the manner of reading. One of the most valuable features of these examinations is the fact that all the papers are carefully corrected by the teachers, every error in ,nellinn standardization r,,nn+,,n
