PROF. DAvIDsON's LECTURE.
A Learned Discourse In the Co.
Iumbian Kindergarten Series.

Iumbian Kindergarten Series.
Prof. Thomas Davidson, OF st. Louis,
delivered yesterday mornings lecture in
the Columbian Kindergarten course, his
subject being THE Brothers of Sincerity,
Their Encyclopedia and Their Scheme for
Complete EduCation.'
The speaker dwelt at length upon these
tones, embodying the ancient conceptions
of God, nature, the sciences and man. and
concluded by saying that what we need
is to take the combined encyclopedia,
write it over in terms OF the latestmodern
philosophy and science and retain its com
prehcnsiveness, its unity its earnest spirit
and its educational ideal. When this is
done, our education Will cease to be cha
otic and become consistent and coInpre-
hensive from Kindergarten to the univer-
sity, from the cradle to the graye-and
further.
The audience was an unusually large
one and at the close OF the lecture p rof.
Davidson held an informal reception for
those present, among whom were num-
Der of scientific men.

champion. Anybody, with the knowl-
edge acquired that evening at the Biceps,
could have whipped either OF the cham
pions, with a little training-and d few
more OF those five gallon buckets, of
course.
Then climbed up to the gymnasium and
witnessed an ocular demonstrat ion of
the chief points in the fight. The youthful
expositors were full OF the ardor OF battle
and jabhed at the opponent of the momen {
with all the fierce propulsive force neces-
sary TO land a hair pillow viciously upon
the person of a frighted adversary.
Then We all adjourned below and had
some private dispatches from the ringsitIe,
concerning the condition of the victims s
wind and the general health of the
victor After that some more OF those
five-gallon buckets were passed around
and all went merry as q village belle,
until everybody else got sleepy and L
collared my hat and stick and loitered
around to find out what the fight might
have done to the Pterodactyl.

Some Of these uniformed terrors are In

the gallant Marine Corps is just reeking with
them. I will not aver that early morning
