The general balance sheet shows cash on

The local movements OF money this week are
described by the New York News Bureau as
follows: Shipments of currency to the interior
In excess of receipts have been by no means
the general rule among the New York banks
this week. and from returns made by the larger
downtown institutions IL seems unlikely that
the loss on the week will be more than $780,
900 A few of the banks a little way uptown
have had large receipts. The interior exchanges
do not warrant heavy currency movements for
exchange profits. The gain from gold imports
for the week is very slight. and the banks have
lost SS.00O.0O0 at the Treasury. The New York
Sub-Treasury's regular daily reports indicate
for the full week as follows: Total receipts,
$~30.9O0.OOO. including 100000 from other
offices OF the Treasury Department / total pay
ments. S29.0O0.O0O. Including $6.600.O00 to

Some modern inventions are boon to
humanity and others are not The phono-
graphic clock which has just been launch
ed upon the market in Germany belongs
to the latter category, says the New York
Sun. One must admit the alarm clock in
the theory of modern life, but a phono-
graphic alarm clock adds insult to injury.
If one must be wakened, one must; but
how can one turn over and take the final
luxurious 40 winks when the depressing
programme of busy day has been shout
ed into ones ears? Things that seemed
natural and practicable the night before
present an appalling front in the early
morning; and the breakfast hour, an
nounced in strident tones, Is much more
insistent than when suggested by an i'm
personal metallic clang.
Some valuable possibilities the new in
vention does possess. The housewife
needn't laboriously explain breakfast de-
tails to the servant at night, and find the
next morning that all important points
have been conscientiously forgotten. She
sets the photographic alarm for an early
hour, talks directions into 1t, and the next
morning the cook is Weakened by a stern
voice telling her exactly what is expect
ed of her in regard to breakfast prepara-
ton.
Paterfamilias, too, can work the com
bination. No more will he sit up until his
pretty daughters caller goes home and
| resort to time-hinored hints to hasten the
departure. He will not slam shutters and
noisily lock doors and bid the other mem
bers of the family good night at the top
of his voice and drop his shoes on the
bedroom floor with a force that shakes
the parlor chandeliers, and call down to
the daughter that she must be careful
about turning off the gas and locking the
door. He will never be goaded by sense
of parental duty into walking into the
parlor and making a scene and reducing
the daughter to point of tears. Oh, no;
he will simply set the Photographic alarm
for the hour when he thinks young men
should end their calls. Then he will go
serenely to bed; and when the fatal hour
strikes specimen of the old gentleman's
finest irony will be hurled.a the offending

Common school Curriculum.

Two years ago the Georgia Teachers
Association, in convention at Cumberland
Island, appointed Profs. ]. S. Stewart, l..
B. Evans, Otis Ash1nore, w. r. Power
and c. W. Wright a committee to prepare
a course Of study for the common schools
OF the state. The report of the committee
was submitted to the association which as
sembled in annual session at Indian
Springs last Friday. The feature of the re-
port IS the condemnation of the graded
system, which the committee says cannot
be applied to a course suited for the state
The needs of the several sections of the
state, of the city and the country, differ
widely. In some sections the school term
runs for ten months, in others seven, and
in still others, five Manifestly it would be
impossible to make all of these conform
to the same rule of study. 1.-THE course of
study" says the committee, Should not
be Procrustean bed on which to stretch
the work Of the school In order to give I'M
iformity," but rather Il should be "the
measuring rod or scale which Is used to
determine at what point in the eight years
work in the elementary course a pupil has
arrived" Continuing the committee says:
The block system of forcing all pupils
into the same grade for a year, yoking to-
scther the hare and the tortoise is doomed
even in the cities, and it would evidently
be a step backward to impose such a sys-
tenn upon the schools of the state. It has
always reminded US Of the times of the in
question:
Holding such views of a hard-and-fast
graded system, the committee endeavored
to formulate a plan so arranged that 1t
would meet all of the needs of the common
schools Of the state, and at the same time
so elastic that 1t would not destroy the
originality of the teacher or hamper the
progress OF the pupil No attempt was
made to limit or prescribe the time in
which a certain amount of work should be
| accomplished, owing to the varying length
of school terms and the further fact that
what might be accomplished by one child
In a single year might take another child
three years. 1t is one of the leading ideas
Of the committee that each child should be
permitted 10 take as much time as might
be necessary to perform thoroughly the
work required of it,
The committee, therefore, suggests a cur
riculum for the common schools of The
state, dividing 1t into four periods and
designating what should be accomplished
in each period in order to be promoted TO
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-07-03

the next period. Each period is called a
FORM" to distinguish it from class or
grade In making UP these forms, the best
features of the common schools of other
states have been drawn upon TO some ex-
tent. The committee endeavored to corel-
late the course of study, as far as posi-
bic, to the state syllabus for 1898. It is pro-
posed that the next syllabus shall include
and explain fully the system proposed by
the committee. BY the adoption of the
forms suggested by the. committee. it is
believed the very annoying and retarding
reorganizations which almost all rural
schools undergo every time there is a
change of teachers viii be done away
with. Each teacher will work under the
same series of FORMS" hence when a new
teacher goes to a school 1t will be found
already organized and classified, to the
great benefit Of the pupils. There would be
no more complaints like one the commit
tee noted from pupil why" said the
child, Il have been 70 South America four
times, but each new teacher turned me
back"

Anecdotes of "Dizzy."

In G. w. e. Russell, the member of
Paliament's collections and Recollec-
TONS are these anecdotes of Disraeli;
The atmosphere of a court naturally suit
ed Lord Beaconsfield, and he had a quaint
trick of transferring the grandiose TO-
menclature of palaces to his own very
modest domain of Hughenden. He called
his simple drawing room the salon; he
styled his pond the lake; he expatiated en-
the beauties of the terrace walks. the
Golden Gate" and the German For
est" His style of entertaining was more
SNOWY than comfortable. Nothing could
excel the grandeur of his state coach and
powdered footman, but when the dessert
came up melting one of his friends ex-
claimed: "At last, my dear Dizzy, we
have got something hot" And in the
days when he was Chancellor of the Elk
chequer some critical guest remarked of
the soup that 1t was apparently made with
Deferred Stock When Lady Beacons-
field died he sent for his agent and said:
Il desire that her ladyship's remains be
borne to the grave by the tenants of the
estate" Presently the agent came back
with a troubled countenance, and said:
II regret to say there are not enough ten
ants to carry coffin"
When Disraeli came forward young,
penniless unknown coxcomb, to contest
High Wycomb, against the dominating
Whiggery of the Greys and the Caring
tons, some one in the crowd shouted, 1--WE
know all about Col. Grey; but pray what
do you stand on?" II stand on my head, -
was the prompt reply. to which Mr.
Gladstone always rendered unstlnted ed
Tniratioa.
