SO bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch so that he would scratch till the
blood ran, and thin, yellowish stuff would
be all over his pillow in the morning. l had
to put mittens on his hands to keep him from
tearing his skin around his wrists. He got
so weak and run down that he took fainting
spells like we would think him dying. He
was almost skeleton, and his little hands
ware thin like claws.

"CHILD sTUDY.n

For months past and even for few years
almost every Magazine of any note and es-
pecially educational periodicals have con-
tanned articles on scme phase of Child
Study.
The educators were the first to begin this
work. From the days of Comenius this
has been the constant cry-"Study the
Child" Pestalozzi and Froebel are now
studied with greater interest than ever be-
fore, for their views of man and education
lie at the foundation of the new education.
Both claim that the child should be stud
led from his earliest infancy as an individ-
ual and thai the theories. of education de-
pend upon constant study of the child
itself. Several states have organized "Child
Study Associations" Many of the leading
Kindergartners are aiding in the advance
ment Of Child Study by means of Mothers
classes. Nearly all Of the Universities hav-
ing pedagogical departments are making
extensive original investigations. The de-
partment of Chicago University, in con-
nection with this work, has opened small
primary school, the object being, not only
to keep theory and practise in touch, for
| many of the students in this department
are trained teachers, but to develop methods
which may be safely recommended to other
schools. Numerous outlines for observation
work, have been sent out from Clark Uni
versity and more than one hundred and
| fifty thousand papers have been received in
return Other. Universities are following suit
The Child Study movement is shaking the
educational world from its very founda-
l ton.
Child Study attempts to give history oi
all that passes in the mind OF child and
hence furnishes facts upon which to barr
mental science.
The Study of the Child is the common
ground upon which the educator, the psy-
chologist, the anthropologist, the sociolog.
ist. the philologist and even the theologist
meet; each comparing results and date with
the other.
Eminent specialists devote years of study
and experiment to gain some insight into
the operations of the mind; but this is pri.
marily for the sake Of science and not slons

A coTNtrnENcE.

On the day, Friday, Feb. 9TH, that
Mr.. Richard r. Kenney was sworn in
as 3 member of the United States Sem
ate-a Silver Democratic Senator-to
succeed Hon. Anthony Higgins whose
term expired, March 4th, 1895, te-
cause Mr.. Addicks and bis followers
said ''Addieks or nobody" George W.
Roberts, Mr.. Addick's editor Of the
estate Sentinel" was fined $63.50 for
ibeling during the campaign Mr..
Washington Hastings. The hne was
5000 and costs. AS in all similar
cases the fine was made kght, this be-
ing the first offence brought, before the
courts though in fact. the Sentinel
repeated its offence time and time
again against public men.
But the coincidence in tho coTlvie-
tion of Roberts of libeling prominent
Republicans-one Of maryland The
admission Of Gen. Kenney TO the seat
In the Senate which but for the ''Ad-
dicks or nobody" conspiracy with the
Democrats on May 9. 1895, would to
day be filed by a Republican fixes all
the responsibility for the division in
the Republican Party to-day. Their g
is no getting around those facts. But
the ''Sentinep' with that effrontery
which has characterized it under Mr..
Roberts says in reference to the seating
Of Col. DUPONT: "We might say here
that so far as we know there was no
objection made by Republicans Of Del
aware, at Washington. to the seating
Of Col. dupont before the vote was
taken by which he was denied hisseat."
Obi shades Of Ansnias and Sapphira!
Mr.. Addicks was in Washington and
had a lobby opposing the seating of
Col. DUPONT and it is possible that his
influence with the Populists deprived
Col. DUPONT of the one vote necessary
to seat him.
But the most serious matter has its
ridiculous side. This man Roberts af-
ter pleading guilty to criminal charge
to the surprise of the court and his Op.
ponents in preference to facing a jury
says: "There is this not pleasant for
Us to think about. We are named in
our court records ofhaviBg plead guilty
to a criminal charge, :" and he proceeds
to prove, in his usual way, that he is
as innocent as a lamb. 1t is funny,
but there aRe a few accepted sensible
men who will assume this view and
Roberts knows it. Such is life-polit-
ieal life.

born in WiimingtOa, Nov. 26, 1928,
having descended from long line Of
New England ancestry going back to

Yale College he studied law with his
father who was United States Senator

He served three months term as Sec

for this State. He was appointed as
sociate judge for New Castle county
by Governor Cannon and for twenty
wears was a member Of our State
Courts, honored by all the people of
the State for their legal ability and i'm
partial administration of the law. Du-
ring those twenty years, from 1854 to
1884, the leading men of the State
learned to honor and respect Judge
Wales. On March 6, 1884, he was ap-
pointed byPresident Arthur TO the po'
sition which he has so ably filled to
succeed Judge Edward G. Bradford
who died January II, 1884. He was
taken from the State Bench because Of
differences within the party over the

PHILApELPHIA, MONDAY, Feb. 5, 1897.


Prehistoric races produced pot
terry. The Egyptians even learned
the use of tin in making an opaque
enamel two centuries before the
Assyrians had learned the use of
lead in the manufacture. Almost
forty feet of alluvial deposit along
the Nile. covered bits of pottery that
an English engineer secured and
presented to the British Museum.
The Persians practiced the art.
So did the Arabs and Saracens.
Then Europe got the secret-and
lost it. In the Fifteenth century
Luca della Robbia rediscovered it.
Bernard Palissy, born in the pro-
vince of Perigord, France, 1910,
was the father of enameled pottery
in France-not the applier of other
mems wit, but the laborious evolver
of a science. Sixteen years labor
was spent in the evolution-years
of privation and sacrifice. Aye,
more, for the spirit of the inventor
quenched the spirit of the man. His
children died from lack of comforts;
his wife pleaded inVain.
The man was mad.
The kiIns needed fuel fuel,
fuel. Empty purse, the upbraid-
ings of his wife, the contempt of
neighbors, were all unheeded. He
would succeed. Furniture was
broken and burned, and the story
teller paints his climax by the glow
from the last stick. The fire dies, the
kiln cooIs. Palsy, with trembling
hands, withdraws the few pieces.
JOY! The enamel had fused! Sue
cess was liis-vesscIs Of intermixed
coIors after the manner of Jasper
were the fruits of his labor-and
the art Of making them was his.
I Not madnan now. Success Veiled
the past; CAthaFine de Medici pat
ronized hin. his defamers were
now his champions. The world had
gained, as ii often has gained,
through sacrifice. There was a
row of tiny graves.
PaIisSy espcused tie cause Of the
Reformation, ard in 1888, for the
second time, suffered for the faith he
would not recant, and went to the
Bastile. Death saved him from the
execution to which he was SEN
fenced.
This is not the story of ceramics,
but merely anincident to show how,
in the centuries past, as now, the
human family has counted pottery
as worthy of something akin to
love.
Pottery making-and now we
narrow the word to cover merely
the CHINA AND PORCELAIN Of
daily use-has benefited by the ap-
plication of improved mechanical
aids, and the one-time tedious pro-
cess of producing tableware has
been simplified until the capacity of
a single factory in Limoges, France,
is eleven thousand plates in day.
Another Limoges factory has in
creased its daily capacity by half
even since 1892.
All this means something to the
user of china-that something a
material saving in costs that has not
until now been shared to the full
with you.
The evolution of the WANA-
MAKER CHINA STORE brings you the
advantage of fair commercial prices
for tableware of all degrees of dain-
tiness and beauty. These prices are
low by comparison with those asked
in other stores. They are possible
because we gather the goods direct
from the worlds standard makers
gather without useless expense
and we depend on the volume ol
business for the outcome.
The stocks are great; varied
yes, best.
