An Ancient Canal.

How many Of the engineering works
of the Nineteenth Century Will there
be In existence In the year OOOO? Yet.
there Is ut least one great undertaking
conceived ana executed by an engineer
which, during the space Of four thou.
sand years, has never ceased Its office,
on which the life Of fertile province
absolutely depends today, says u
writer In Engineering.
We refer to the Bahr Joussur--thc
canal Of JOseph-built, according to
tradition, by the son OF Jacob. ani
which constitutes not the least of the
many blessings he conferred on Egypt
during the ycnr Of his prosperous rule.
This canal took Its rise from the Nile
at Asiut. and ran almost parnhei with
It for nearly go miles. creeping along
under the western cliffs OF the Nile
Valley. with many u bend ana wind.

Through this cut ran u perennial
stream which watered u province

latlOn. In the time Of the annual flood
a great part Of tho canal was under
water, and then the rivers current
would rush In more direct course In.
to the pass, carrying with II the rich
silt which takes the place Of manure,
ana keeps the soil In a constant state
Of prOtluctiveness.
All this, with the exception Of the
tradition that Joseph built II, can be
verified today.

OUR SCHOOLS.
superintendent Lord Before the Current
Events Club.

Mr.. o. NJ. Lord, the efficient superlh
asndent of schools, gave clear, compre-
hensive and unprecedented stateinen' u
the condition of our primary, grammar
and high schools before the Curien0
Events club at Fraternity House, on
Friday morning. Mr.. Lord gave an IN
terosting outline of the graaual chahee
in the method of teaching, from the OLD
time manner of note learning, to the
nreeenr broader method of developing
the power Of concentration ana express
ion. The speaker assured his hearers
TINT the condition of our schools ranks
verv fayorably with those Of the other
cities of New England. While the COM
mittee would like to bring about ad-
tions and reforms in matters of sanitary
importance, salaries. and improved
methods, he gave statistics to show that
all these desires were necessarily limited
by the lack of funds. Fortunately, for
those who represent the advance guard in
matters educational, 1T is great salts
faction to find that Mr.. Lord is quite in
sympathy with modern methods, CONFESS
PRODUCING elementary Latin in the gram
mar schools.
In closing his paper, MIR. Lord said
that while tho outlook for education Is
encouraging, perhaps, the one defect in
recent tsaching is the tendency on the
part of the teacher, to make the attain
ment CT knowledge too easy for the
pupils.
An informal discussion was aroused by
interest in the address and many of the
questions asked were thcss as to the value
Of school room decoration, manual train
ing. kindergarten, and of "a woman on
the school board. The superintendent
expressed himself as quite in sympathy
with the 60 Decorative" movement, feel
ing that perhaps we GOULD not quite esti-
mats the effec5 of pictures on pupils
among the poorer classes, and said that
certainly it could do no harm. In the
matter of kindergarten and manual
training, thsssresult certainly paid, and as
to tho woman on the board, it was not a
matter of sex at all, but fitness. A ris
Ing vets of thanks and many cordial
words, testified TO the interest of the an :
dience and all felt that the first "ed uca-
tioual day. had beeh well spent.
