that a life free from want, care and

Child students believe that present
methods of pedagogues should be
reformed Z in accordance with the
result OF their Investigations. It is
claimed that the modern school is
farce, tending to physical degeneracy.
It is very hard for child to sit FIVE
hours a day during nine months in
imperfect air within an unphysiologi-
cal seat, the only strain thrown upon
little muscles which Wag the tongue.
Nature has made at difficult for a
child TO sit still, so he should not be
compelled to do SO. Commands to
children TO sit still are frequently
made in the schools, but experiment
has shown that not one child iu 100
can sit still ooe-half a minute: limbs,
tongue, hands and fingers are certain
to move. The student OF child nature
contends that the idea that children
should sit still should be abandoned,
and that teachers must learn to
possess their nerves and patience if
the children do not sit still.
It is urged, therefore, that school
hours, curricula and exercises should
be reconstructed in accordance with
child nature. and this is the aim Of the
congress. which will try to bring
about the reform by degrees.

To Stamp Out Hog Cholera.


Secretary of agriculture Wilson has
a plan for stamping out hog cholera.
The secretary says that the north
western states have lost within the
past few years millions of dollars by
the ravages OF this disease among
hogs. Iowa alone, he estimates, lost
$15, 900, 600, and Wisconsin and Mime
sofa each about S., 900, 900, and heroic
measures are demanded to stop this
loss. The secretary Intends adopting
a plan similar to that employed in
stamping out pleuropneumonia,
which was by going into the infected
districts and buying up all the hogs
that have the disease or have been
exposed SO as to be liable to contract
it. The plan is to be set on foot in
different sections of the northwest,
south and east, in order to note the
effect. H. = .s a.
