Want The BIRCH AGAIN
Hoboken Principals Advocate
the Restoration Of Corporal
Punishment in the
Schools.

Superintending Principal David q. Rue
and number of members of the School
masters Club Of Hoboken believe that
corporal punishment should be permitted
in the public schools The subject was
brought up at an executive session Of the
club on Wednesday night and freely dis
cussed. The law which prohibits corporal
punishment, some of the principals think,
is an enemy to good discipline in the
schools and should be abolished. They
believe they should not be restricted from
Furnishing unruly children.
The principals decided to confer with
other principals in the county on the sub
ject, and if the sentiment in favor Of COR
poral punishment is strong enough they
will prepare petition to have the law
repealed The club consists of school
principals and members Of the Commits
sion Of Public Instruction.
Superintending Principal Rue of Public
School No. l. who is at the head Of the
movement, says that he believes the ma
jority of the principals in Hudson county
will favor corporal punishment.

vantage of the law prohibiting punish

authority to chastise them. In many
cases the parents request 1t, being un-
able to control the children themselves.

PURDUE's WINTER SCHOOL OF
AGRICULTURE.

The annual programme of the winter
school of agriculture of Purdue University,
just issued, calls for more extended public
ity than it could get by ordinary methods
of distribution. 1t affords opportunity
in the first place, to congratulate the peo-
pie of Indiana on the possession of an in
stitution so we'll endowed, so practical in it's
organization and so able and progressive in
its management as Purdue. There are
many institutions in the country similarly
endowed as agricultural colleges and there
are number of polytechnic schools, but
doubtless there is no other institution that
unites these functions in as perfect a degree
and is as well equipped for imparting thor
ough education on both lines as Purdue
University.
The winter school of agriculture is part
of the general plan widely conceived and
happily executed by the management to
enlarge thu field and extend the usefulness
of the institution by other methods than
text books and classroom instruction. No
other institution in the State, perhaps no
other in the country, has done as much
Purdue during the last few years in the
way of what may be called university ex-
tension work; that is, popularizlng scientific
and technical knowledge through new meth
DDS. The farmers Institutes, organized and
conducted by the authorities of Purdue,
have become distinct and valuable factor
in the social and intellectual life of the
farming class, while the bulletins issued
from time to time on various subjects serve
the double purpose of conveying valuable
information and promoting popular investi-
CATION and discussion The winter school
of agriculture has been in operation for
some years, but this year its scope has been
enlarged and it's course of study made
stronger than ever before, including several
new lines of work. The school is designed
for young people who have completed their
regular school work and who cannot be
spared from the farm during the summer
months to pursue the special lines of study
laid down at Purdue. The winter course
of study is framed in accordance with this
idea. and with a view Of imparting the

UNEAsINEss IN EUROPE.

European news in yesterdays paper was
interesting and instructive, showing as it
did the game of statecraft at which the
rulers of the leading powers play as they
would chess. Germany. under the present
Emperor, is at variance with the conserva-
tive characteristics of the German people,
ard it's ruler seems to be the most aggres-
sive and radical monarch in Europe so far
as his action relates to other governments.
He is probably the orly ruler in Europe
who would have entered into a compact
with Turkey to equip an army and navy
on condition of having control of one-fourth
of the Turkish army. He is aggressively
seeking power beyond his domain, as his
recent seizure of Chinese territory without
any real pretext shows. More than any
other ruler he is likely to plunge Europe
into war. He seems disposed to raise Tur-
key to the dignity of a power to be con-
suited or taken into account when any con-
siderable change of policy is considered in
Europe. In doing this, William deliberately
throws down the gauntlet to Russia, whose
traditional policy has been to hold Turkey
in subsection. For this reason Russia has

Turkey shall pay a debt which the Car
may demand at any time, but which it is
quite impossible fer the Sultan to discharge.
Just now there seems to be no concert
among the powers, but each government is
more for itself than ever before. Russia
and Austria, which have been jealous of
each other when Turkey has been consid-
cred, seem now to stand together. The
large fighting army which Turkey has sud-
denly appeared to be the possessor of
causes the war Emperor of Germany to
lcok to that quarter for an ally. Great
Britain, which has always been potential
in all questions of readjustment, seems to
have dropped out of prominence. This is
due partly to the fact that she has troubles
of her own in her colonies, particularly in
India. There also seems to be a growing
disposition on the part of other govern
ments to assume an attitude of hostility to
Great Britain. Russia menaces her power
in the east, and may have melted the pres
ent revolts in India. Each Of them is seek
ing slice of Africa with a greed which
does not tend to peaceful relations. On the
whole, Europe is more stirred up just now
than it has been for years While war is
not probable, it is we'll to remember that
it is not so because no one ruler dare take
the risk of being responsible for it.
