Spain's whole attitude toward the
Maine affair has been one of hostility,
insolence and secret triumph. Even
should the Cuban question be satisfac-
torily settled without war, the Amer
lean people would clamor to avenge the
insult offered to American seamen and
American honor by the treacherous de-
struction of that splendid battleship
and her men.-San Jose Mercury.
This is severe judgment, but we
think it has much justification. Spain
started, Immediately after the wreck.
the theory of internal explosion upon
its travels. Having committed herself
to that, her subsequent Investigations
appear to have been conducted for the
sole purpose of bracing the theory ra-
ther than for evolvement of the truth,
whatever it might be. If Spain was
sincere in declaring that it had no
mines planted in Havana harbor it
would have been perfectly natural-in-
deed, she should have been solictous-
to prove it beyond all question, and
thus remove from her shoulders all
responsibility by taking the United
States Board of Inquiry upon the shore
opposite to Havana and showing it
that there were no cables, electrical
lines or other appliances which could
be operated to explode submarine
mines. She did nothing of that kind
nor did she even make the offer. She
did not produce or offer to produce a
single witness before the board to clear
her escutcheon of the suspicion OF
treachery and dishonor. If there was
absolute innocence on her part of overt
act or of culpable negligence it would
have been the easiest thing imaginable
to have established it outside and
independent Of any examination of the
wreck of the ship. 1t must appear &c
the calm and judicial mind that the
Spanish Government has not improved
the opportunity it enjoyed to clear it
self, if innocent of blame. This is not a
case in which the burden of proof is
wholly upon the plaintiff.

ents Each of Which Is Occupied by Child.

America, from Australia, and from ev- cry corner of the globe where the chil- dren of Ireland dwell visitors will, this year, return for a brief commemorative visit to the scene of the 179S insurrec- tion.
 As a result, interest in that fierce struggle against English supremacy in the green isle has acquired a renewed interest.
 For the benefit of Irish-A Americans a bird's-eye view of the incidents of the insurrection has been prepared. The Calendar of '9S,'' as it may be termed has been carefully revised by John E. Redmond, NJ. P, MT. ParnelPs successor in the leadership of the Irish National ist party. The review is accurate and impartial, and will be a useful and handy guide for those preparing to visit Ireland during the year
 The following IS the calendar:
 May 27-Outbreak of the insurrection. On the previous day (May 26) brigade of yeomanry and militia had burned the church of Boulavogue, of which Rev. John Murphy was pastor. This act precipitated the rising. Bonfires were lighted along the Wexford hills, and the people, armed with bikes, poured in from all sides. The first fight occurred in the afternoon at Oulart Hill, Fr. Murphy leading the rebels, The British were severely routed and almost annihilated, only five redcoats escaping from the field.
 May 2S-F'r. Murphy mustered large force and led it against Enniscorthy. Battle of Enniscorthy in which the British were again defeated and the town captured.
 May 30-Fight of Three Rock Noun tain. British routed with heavy loss Town of Wexford surrendered to the Irish. Beauchamp Bagenal Harvey of Barry Castle elected commander-in- chief of the insurgents, with Fr. Mur- phy second in command.
 June 1-Capture of Newtownbarry, under Captain Keogh, and subsequent recapture by a large force of British regulars during the night. Heavy loss on both sides. On the same day the in-

connected. As by my system the teach CT would be with the pupil while at recreation in the park or annex the lesson would in reality continue there in fact, the recreation in the annex or park under the instruction of the teach CTS would be part of the lesson, for 1t would be continued there orally''
 Department No. will be "a class of emotions" and the pictures selected are from everyday life scenes, such as are quite familiar to the children and the subject of each picture forms a simple but complete sentence As to what the pictures might be can best be Judged by few sample sentences such as "the babe smiles,'' the dog plays with the calf,' and the hen picks up a seed.''
 The object will be to show such pie lures as would have in each something that would arouse a dormant thought and a dormant feeling. The idea would be to draw the mind of the child into a condition of self stimulation or self action.
 It is not until the child has reached the fourth department that Mir Faust would let him out of his box or cell, but even here it is his theory to sep arate the child from his fellows, though he is fully exposed while at class. As Department No. 8 was de- voted to the emotions, Department No deals with idealization. A feature of this method of teaching idealization is the showing of pictures of parts of ani- mals-for instance, the head of a COW or the head of a horse. The pupil has been familiar with pictures of the whole animal. and now that only the head is shown the child is supposed to "idealiZe" for the rest of the animal.
 MT. Faust thinks that the children in this department, when they have been dismissed to the annex or park from the recitation room should each carry with them a pencil and tablet These he would attach to their waist bands, so they could be prepared at all times to idealize.
 Department No. will contain the annex and park with a special view of giving the children a more extended system of geological, botanical and geological course of instruction.

r R ANY suggestions have from IA time to time been made as to MI the improvement of our pub
 lie school system, but none N x has struck quite so unique
 vein as has c. L. Faust or Oakland. MT. Faust has given the subject of child education much thought-in fact, so much so that he has evolved a new system which ne hopes. some day to see supersede even the most advanced systems now Tn practice. He has styled the pubic school room of to-day as slaughter pen of time and mind" This little thing has worried him so much that he is now writing a book which Will tell about his new theory in practl- cal use and will be an eye-opener to teachers and a mind-opener to pupils. MT. Faust apparently is man about 55 years of age, of gentlemanly bearing. and neither in dress. manner nor conversation does he bear the inn print of crank; neither would one suspect at a casual glance that this man. G. L. Faust, is a man ambitious to revolutionize the world in thought, action and mind development, but this is just what his theory is intended to do.
 He has the most advanced method or system of object teaching yet thought of; in fact, object teaching as now practiced is but a mere kinder garten affair as compared with the Faust system. In order to follow the system evolved by MT. Faust there is required the most unique school room ever designed. He even goes further, and to the schoolroom adds parks, recreation grounds and numer- ous similar adjuncts.
 According to Mr. Fausts idea, as set forth in the manuscript of his book, each 100 children should have rec reation park of about five acres, set out with all kinds of plants, trees and shrubs and flora in general and pe- CuIiar to the particular climate. Here the children pass their time when not in the recitation-room. The latter opens from the park and each room is designed to accommodate twenty pu- pils.
 Along the sides of the room are ar ranged little cells or compartments, each of which is occupied by child. The cell is constructed so as to shut out everything from the observer save view in front, and that glass front is a magnifying lens. To be sure, there is the aperture above, but all else is inclosed. This inclosed space he has provided with what he claims to be an excellent system of ventilation. Over the opening at the top of the cell and at an angle above them are mirrors. in which is reflected the facial eX- pressiOn and every movement of the

each child and here comes one of the advantages of having the children lso- lated in cells rather than in class. as the teacher can then arrange series of views to accord with the progress and the ability of each child. It would be the business of the teacher to school himself carefully to know what is best in the way of succession for each child, but always aiming for rapidity of thought.
 T think the old teachers under orr present system will concur with nc in saying that a child learns far more readily by oral instruction than Ire does by Gelving for it in books, and again in imparting information in this oral way a vast deal in the way of effect depe nds on the manner and method in which it is done. Oral teaching is something of a science.
 The birds, animals and plants in the arnexes to the various departments I would have selected and arranged with special connection with the pictures and subjects that will be displayed on the lenses in recitation rooms of the department with which the annex is

cell is imbibing knowledge properly.
 The teacher on the platform in the center of the recitation-room has com plete control of the cells by a system of levers, push buttons and springs. At the will of the teacher the chill dren may be released from their cells singly, in squads or in class.
 This new system of education pro- vides for the development of the body as well as of the mind. and for that reason he has given particular atten- tion to the interior construction of the cells. He has provided separate, ad- unstable seat and foot rest, so as to give any desired angle or distance between the two, and either may be raised and lowered at will. The back of the seat is of a peculiar construction, and is adjustable not only to the height of the child but to the curvature of it's spine.
 It is to put in practical use this ad- vanced theory of object teaching that Mir. Faust has designed such an oddity of a schoolroom. The glass fronts to the recitation cells are none other than magnifying lenses. The teacher at will can throw on these lenses stereopticon
