for the wide divergence of the flgures

In England the statistics of the courts
show that more suits for divorce are
brought against wives than against
husbands by almost a third. The sta
tistics on that point have not been ac-
curately gathered in this country
What do the English figures prove?
That there are more unchaste wives
than Infaithful husbands, or more for
bearing and miserably content wives
than husbands, or that men are less
patient and long suffering than women?
Or is the fact recited by the Humane
tartan the key TO the problem, name
ly, that it is more difficult for woman
to procure a dissolution of the bonds
of matrimony than for man? Accord
ing to the Law Journal that is a
chief reason, because the woman has
to prove cruelty as well as infidelity
on the part of her husband in that
country, and that is difficult for her
to do; besides. the law favors the man.
If this is correct, and so high an au-
thority as the Law Journal could
scarcely be in error on such a subject,
then cur laws are more just and less
harsh than those of England. If any

ing some favorite quotation. Superin-
tendent Dyer conducted the devotional
exercises while Miss Clark led the sing
ing.
The first subject for discussion was
Professional Study for Teachers. It's
scope and plan, with suggestions for its
pursuit" Misses Minnie Stuckey, Ad-
die Brook and Mary Shaw were the first
speakers on this topic. They each en-
phaslzed the Importance Of professional
study. First, in regard TO their own
work, the science Of teaching. This en-
braces a study Of psychology in It's phys
illogical, apperceptive and experimental
features. Then would follow method
ology and school economy. Also history
of education as well as the philosophy OF
education. The formation OF reading cir
cles. university extension classes and in
stitutes for study along different lines
were recommended. The instruction and
Improvement of teachers now in service
has large disadvantages. Mr.. R F.
Knight of the high school also spoke on
this subject. Among other things he
said. While I would not speak in de-
rogatory manner Of psychology. child
