IT HAS COME AT LAST.

The bicycle craze has struck
HOuma with both feet. II was a
long time getting here, but now
that it is here, we expect a time
i'll the near future when every
man and his brother, every lady
aud her sister will be q propeller
OF the bike. Doctors will practice
medicine, editors will collect
subscriptions, planters will oversee
their plantations, daughters will
go to dances and the boys will
go to church-On bicycles. Even
the baby,carriages will be modelled
a Ia bicycle and propelled by
bloOmer nurses. 1t is only a
question of i little time, and any
man will soon fiud this world one
too many for HIM if he fail to get
wheels i'll his head. The love for
theSbike has been SmouIdering for
SOIne time in the hearts of our
people, aud When that enter
prising yOdng gentleman, Mr..

of popular sentiment that is des.
tined to sweep every thing, old
aud young before it. There is no, use
for the Old-timerS to try to laugh
down or sneer down the senti.
ment, They m ay as well attempt
to laugh down or Sneer down the

wing sphere. The craze can not be

farce comedy success of last season at the
Bijou and ''The Man From Mexico late
ly brought out at Hoyt's Theatre. Mr..
Du Souchet, until his first play was pro

ing. 1t was the old story of managers re-
fusing the work of new writer, until a
friend of the author, an actor, managed
to get a hearing for the farce. 1t was
put on the stage with many misgivngs,
but was an instantaneous hit. There was
general rush of theatre managers for
the desk where Du Souchet was still tap
ping away at his key, and he was deluged
with offers for new material. He took it
all very philosophically and refused to
give up his modest salary as a telegraph
operator until the success of My Friend
From India was fully established. Then
he resigned and went to work on 1.-The

cided success at Hoyts. New York

The Evil to the TRADED School.

Another serious weakness in the present
system, says Superintendent Shearer in the
June Atlantic, is that even the brightest
cannot gain time, and if any except the
they are unable to pass to advanced work,
and therefore lose whole year when they
may be only month or two behind. Less
than one per cent. of the pupils of the
public schools can successfully skip the
work OF a whole year. About thirty five
per cent fail to be promoted. Some claim
lowing year, but statistics that ! have col
ected show that the large majority OF the
pupils do not return, and few of those
who do return do good work. In vague
way everybody knows that there is an
amazing loss Of pupils time. yet none but
those who have studied the matter care
fully can know how great the loss is.
Statistics, gathered with much labor and
care, show that eighty per cent. lose
from one to four years. For every one
hundred pupils in the schools that | my
self examined, there had been from one
hundred and twenty-five to three hundred
and seventy years lost during their course
of study. Such loss is inevitable when
ever the teacher is forced to forget that
the class is composed of fifty individuals,
and to think only of the fact that all must
reach certain place by given time. 1t
is not too much to say that on all sides in
terested parents and thoughtful educators
are dissatisfied with the usual system,
which cuts short the school period of the
majority, and menaces the intellectual
life of every boy and girl in the graded
schools
