TRYING A CURIOUS PLAN.
Teaching Modem Science In the Oldest oi
Oriental Languages.

Teaching Modem Science In the Oldest Of
Oriental Languages.
The Punjab province Of India has
been for some years the scene of an in
teresting academical experiment, that
of communicating western science, phi
losophy and literature to the people
through their mother tongue, and to the
educated through their learned Ian
guages, and not in an English dress, as
elsewhere.
Sixty three years ago Macaulay and
Duff destroyed the very different PERM
cious system Of bribing native students
of Sanslrit, Persian and Arabic to read
their own sacred books. Gradually the
learned classes came to be left out OF
our state system of public instruction,
with evil results. Sir Donald Mcleod
accordingly devised and Sir Charles
Aitchison carried out the plan of at
once attracting these, in the Punjab at
least, by ,oriental titles and degrees,
and Of examining all students for the
ordinary university degrees through the
medium Of their own vernacular. The
Punjab university and its oriental col
lege were founded at Lahore for these
two ends.
The latest report of the Edinburgh
graduate, Mr.. j. Sine, NJ A., who is
director Of the department.. is not very
favorable to the success of the double
experiment, now some 18 years old. He
declares that "the prospects of advanced
education through the medium of the
vernacular are not improving" at least.
and Sir Dennis Fitzpatrick, the lieuten-
ant governor, has ordered special re.
port on the subject In the Oriental
college last year only students were
reading for the title of Shastri, or hon
ors in Sanskrit; Ii for Visharada, or
high proficiency in the same; II for
Manlavi Fail, or honors in Arabic; z
for Manlavi Aim, or high proficiency;
for Munshi Fail, or honors in Per-
sian; for Munshi Aim, and for the
Gurmukhi title in the Sikh vernacular.
OF the III candidates in the local uni
versity in Sanskrit third passed. Of
83 in Arabic two-thirds passed, and SO
in Persian and Gurmukhi The only en-.
couraging fact is that every year the
number Of the Pundit class who take
honors and degrees in Sanskrit is -ris
ing, and more than half Of them 60 to
the Punjab examinations from the 9TH
er provinces where there are no such
tests. Edinburgh Scotsman.

TWO LEAPS.

Ono Was For Liberty and the other Was
For Life.
"In passing by the criminal court
building the other day." said Luther
Latin Mills, II recalled, among my
memories somehow connected with it,
that of remarkable leap for liberty.
"About Is years ago prosecuted a
young fellow for the crime Of burglary.
He was convicted and sentenced to pris-
on for term of six years. After sem
tence, as he was being conveyed by a
deputy sheriff from the courtroom to
the Jail, across the passage connecting
the two buildings, which have often
regarded as Bridge Of Signs, the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand railing, which was then the
only protection of the bridge, landed on
his feet 45 feet below. and, recovering
himself, made bold dash for liberty.
He started on run north on Dearborn
avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in a barn not far from Lincoln park.
When they brought him back, his face
flushed. his eyes flashing, his shirt COL
Lar thrown open, he looked like young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken to states prison, where he
served his term.
Passing over the Clark street bridge

other leap-one for life. One evening

chance to reply young fellow rushed
through the crowd, threw off his coat
and vest, put his hands together and
shot into the water. He caught the
woman as she was going down the third
time, struck out for the shore, and both
he and she were landed in safety.

good look at the fellow, and there came
to me sudden flash Of recognition. He
was the same one who had made the
leap for liberty from the Bridge Of Signs.

fellow after that" continued Mr.. Mills.

THE INSTITUTE
OF Ohio County Teachers Con.
cluded Yesterday.
IT WAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
Ever Held in this county, and the Week
was Probably Spent by tho Teachers.
The Teaching OF Language the Prlnel-
pal Topic Of the Dsy-Frss Text Books
Favored and . More Clearly Defined
Compulsory school Law Urged.

The Ohio county teachers institute
which has been in session at the Wheel
ing Park Casino all week, was brought
10 a successful close yesterday. There
was not as large attendance as on the
previous day, but interest among the
teachers was as keen as ever. 1t has
been one Of the most successful ever
conducted in the state, and much credit
,sdue the instructors, superintendent w.
H. Anderson. of this city, and Principal
c. Nj. Ford, of the Concord normal
school,
The first subject discussed in the
morning was Language Work 1t
was introduced by Instructor Anderson,
who paid particular attenunm TO gram
mar. illustrating his remarka with ex-
amples OF doubtful constructions.
The subject was further discussed by
Allen W. Curtis, ]. W. Farmer and Miss
Cora Cox. Recess was then takenatter
which Prof. Ford recited an original
poem.
Prof. r. A. Armstrong, acting presl-
dant Of the state university, spoke until
noon. He reviewed the discussions on
language. and gave some time to Eng
llsh and American literature. He COM
plrpa the works OF the hSst known
English and American authors, giving
quotations Of senti ment. The Ameri-
cans did not suffer by the comparison,
and Prof Armstrong fittingly eulogized
some American poets
The noon hour was made the occasion
ola mpromptu picnic, and 1t was very
eR!5yably spent.
The teachers reassembled In the Ca
slno at 2 o'clock for the closing session,
which was the briefest OF the week.
Prof. Ford was the first speaker, his
theme being. Teaching Patriotism In
the Public Schools" He urged the me-
cessity Of this subject occupying a
strong hold in the public school curri-
culum.
Prof. Anderson followed briefly in the
same vein, after which the audience was
treated to a good address by one Of the
visitors on the subject OF penmanship.
The programme closed with reclta-
lions by Misses Kate Ritter. Minnie Nc
Colloch. and Minnie Winters. The
teachers were then presented with their
certificates OF attendance by County Su-
perintendent J. C. Lewis.
4. W. Curtis, chairman of the COM
mite on resolutions, presented the
committees report. which was adopted.
The resolutions asked that the compul-
sorry school law be worded more clearly,
and favored free text books. A COM
mlt,ee OF entertainment from the Ohio
county teachers was urged for the
meeting Of the state teachers assocIa-
ton which convenes In Wheeling In
June. 1898. Thanks were rendered the
Wheeling Park association for the use
u the Casino. and other privileges. and
also TO Instructors Anderson and Ford,
and to all who kindly assisted
Instructors Anderson and Ford very
happily expressed the pleasure II had
given them In conducting the institute.

40 o'clock all had left for their homes.
