HOW ENGLISH IS TAUGHT.

Colleges Scored for Their Methods ok
 Presenting Our Literature.
 Probably no educational problem has ever been attacked with so light heart or has accomplished more harm to real cultivation than what is known as Eng fish" in our college departments. Un. der this compendius heading is gath. cred an attempt to teach students how to use English as tool, how to know English as tongue and how to ap- Ereciate English literature. The prac-' tical result, as the study is carried on in large number of institutions, is that the student is disgusted with the greater monuments of the tongue, nc quires conceptions of fantastic preci- sion in it, and learns just enough of it's .pbilology to leave him with the impress iion that he knows something.
 Scarcely any of our colleges have really grasped the necessity of making vivid to students the great monuments of literature and treating the rest as subordinate. Instead, we have our uni- versailles studying and often giving prizes for the study of second, third and fourth-rate authors, which are dug up and written about and treated as of consequence. They are, us part of the textual study of the history of literature; they are not as soul dis ..pline. Life is short and a college course is shorter. It is more necessary in it to discipline man into admiration of the great men than 10 give him . minute acquaintance with the facts ibout small men or the details of lan- suage. Neither is there any path to style so sure, so subtle or so easy as that unknown path which the lion has trod ,ione.-Philadelph Press.

Theuh ahe too many people in this world who insist on telling you in the most solemn mannuh things which any puhson of awdinary intelligence could readily take foh granted. I was recently at q city on the coast, where I met young friend of mine. He was very courteous. One of the first things he did was to ask me if I would not like to go down the beach a short distance and get acquainted with their life-saving arrangements." K {. "You went, of co'se," suggested Maj. Mott. ir, .,, i.
 "No.. I, told him that the journey was quite unnecessary, as l had flask in my pocket. He refused to join me and if it had not been foh his extreme politeness I should have sought society elsewhere fo'thwith.
 "The conversation went rather slow. ly. Finally, howevuh, he made an cf- fort and entered on .disco'se about the ocean. He dwclt upon the majes- tic waves that kept rolling in to. the sko' and said that it filled him with awe 10 gaze across that stretch of water into the infinity of space."
 "That was remarkably impressive thought"
 "1o be sure. That obsuhvation had some reason in it. But his next remark reused my indignation. With the air of a man who proposes to astonish you with cleverness, he proceeded to say, that. it was fine to look at, but that it was mighty poor comfort when it came to a pinch, as it wasn't fit to drink.

the situation is very peculiar. There APP

eccption--comparcd with the apathy for
mcrlv exhibited on the occasion of like re-
ports-is proof that sanitary teaching is
becoming increasingly effective. Our
springs, wells and other sources of water
supply are frequent topics of discussion,
though such subjects were Il few wears
ago confined to medical Journals. The
sanitary condition of the public school
houses and other public buildings is Il con
slant theme of the city and country press.
\ notable step forward was the establish
ment of meteorological laboratory, thus
for the first time giving the city proper
cqui pmcnt for the efficient determination
Of the character of suspected microbes and
proper guidance for the prevention of
many CLASSES of disease
The number of interesting papers read
at the meetings of the association and the
consequent discussions Illustrate the force
of the present movement for better SaEi
tarv conditions. The problem of sewage
disposal for Baltimore was presented from
various points of view Typhoid fever
and its causes occupied number OF hours,
the point being brought out that Balli-
more, for want of Il proper sewerage sys
TEN, has an excessive annual mortality
from this disease. Various rural towns of
the State were criticised from the stand
point of the sanitarian, and suggestions
useful for the sanitary farmer were
thrown out. Farmhouse hygiene, it is
proved, has an Interest for city people
nowadays, seeing that in recent years
every fourth or fifth cit spends part of
the summer in the country, and runs the
risk of being poisoned by an insanitary
well, spring, slaughter house or pig-pen.
SchoolhOuscs are shown to be seldom in
sanitary condition. Pure milk. rabies,
methods of disposing of sewage, the move
ments of disease germs with water moving
under ground and sanitary legislation we'>
other topics brought under notice in pa
pers and speeches. Disinfectants and
their uses received special attention, and
the public will profit, it is believed, by the
instruction given. Doubtless the papers,
with the meeting itself, will produce good
results in saving lives of useful citiZ.ns.
1t may be hoped that our city and State
officials will be cncUura gcd by these events
to make improved use of the funds at
their disposal Baltimore SIN.
