bate which had continued for several
days, a step in the direction of church
unity was taken The discussion was
preCipitated by the Offering of an amend
ment to the constitution by Rev. DR..
Huntington of New York. While agree
ing with the principle of this. the depu-

amendment as follows: But provision
may be made by the canon for the tenn
porary use of other forms and directo-
ries of worship by congregations not al
ready in union with this church, who are
willing to accept the spiritual oversight
of the bishop of the diocese" The amend

What is called the ga E C' Of the
Swedish educational gymnastics has
been in use in the Boston primary and
grammar schools since 1891. 1t has
pleased both teachers and pupils, and
this year an advance will be made to
the higher course, such as has been
used in the schools in Sweden and
Norway for more than thirty years. Its
Introduction is expected to place Bos-
ton schools at the head in the matter
of physical training. One of the
prominent parts Of the new order is
that it introduces into the schools a
schedule of games with balls, bean
bags. ETC., intended to develop quick
and responsive mind. Ten minuteso
the forenoon session will be devoted
to instruction in the Swedish move
ment, and during about six minutes
each afternoon the pupils will have the
use of the school-rooms for marching
and for games. OF course, the yards
will be used for the marching and
games exercises when that is more con-
venient. In the past the exercises
have been the same for girls as for
boys; but the new order provides for
a slight difference in this respect. A
further plan under consideration is to
install in the grammar schools set OF
Swedish apparatus such as stall-bar,
a "boon," or horizontal bar, balance
board, etc. When these are installed
and ready for use, the physical train
ing will be practically the same as it
is in the high school for girls.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.--The following letter
of declination has been received from

BY those who are in Il position to know

the American soldiers are weak and

to vanquish. This feeling may make it
difficult for the Americans at first. This
is due to the charges that have

Another matter that causes grave con-
sderation in the war department is the
temper Of the Spaniards in Cuba, and
the fear that the impression which now
prevails there may lead them to regard
the American troops of not much ac-
count. and act accordingly after the oc-
cupancy by the United States. 1t is
probable that when the troops are sent
to Cuba there will be force of such size
and character as to give the islanders
different impression of United States
soldiers from that which they now en.
tertain.

SCARLET HARD TO HIT.

Scarlet has always been regarded as
the worst possible color for the purposes
of soldiers in the field of battle. The
statement has been reiterated with so
much frequency of late that nobody has
cared to dispute it. 1t is owing to some
very practical experiments carried on in
Germany that the question now has been
put on a more satisfactory basis. A
squad of ten men, two dressed in light
gray, two in dark gray. two in scarlet,
two in blue and two in green. were lately
ordered to march across an open coun-
try. Their movements were closely
watched. The first men to disappear
from sight were those in light gray, i'm
mediately afterward the scarlet, then the
dark gray and finally the blue and green.
Here we have all well worn theories
upset Experiments carried out on the
rifle range showed that the British ma
tional color possesses even distinct
merits The idea was this time to ascer-
tain which color gave the worst mark
for the rifle. Twenty men, all good shots.
were used for the purpose of the expert
ment After they had fired a given num-
Der of rounds it was discovered the scar
let was far the most difficult to hit. For
every miss at the other colors there were
three in favor of the scarlet. We will not
assert that these experiments were con-
elusive.
