BREACH OF ETIQUETTE.

We have been asked a good many times 'If 1t was allowable in whist clubs for a per son to hold his cards and play them from below the edge of the table,
 In answer to this query we will say; There Is no written law to prevent such action; 1t Is only breach of whist etiquette. The unwrit- ten law Is that the offender Is usually invited to hold his cards above board" so the backs. of them can be seen by every one at the tat ble: if he declines to do so. he has standing in respectable society. and he Is usually in vited to tender his resignation to the club. Two such cases that we know of came up in one of the Eastern clubs some time ago. and one of the two was expelled. for he was caught in doing what the very act suggests

Some may claim that the old subject Of the aim of education has been worn threadbare and yet it is astonishing what eyer-changng views on pedagosy aliu ,le- ttio . the fore in the school world: now Ire Quenuy even now the topic crops up TOT discussion. of thought on this subject and also Tn re- gard to school discipline in San Fran cisco. the following questions were sent out to q number of our representative educators. with the annexed results:
 1. What Is the ultimate aim Of educa-
 ,. What are the objects of school dis
 Miss Jean Parker. principal of the Broadway Grammar School, replies as follows:
 l. Happiness; good citizenship.
 ? Obedience. since perfect freedom can come only through obedience to the law.
 A. E. Kellogg, president San Francisco Teachers Club:
 | Taking education in it's broadest sense I should say that its ultimate end is to grow in the individual a sufficient mo- tive. an efficient will, and the fullest in sight to realize himself in and through the community of his fellows as 1t ad- Vances toward an infinite ideal. School education works toward this end by bringing the pupil to aSSimilate certain selected materials of human experience.
 9 In answering the second question take discipline" to mean the whore op- eration of school government and routine. The end of school discipline is then, 70 bring the pupil to an intelligent apprecla- ton of the relation of the individual to the co immunity, and to secure in him a willing and habitual cooperation toward the general good.
 A. L. Mann, principal Denman School:
 | I should say that the ultimate aim of education is the training of the body, mind and soul of the pupil so that he may be prepared to discharge perfectly every duty. private or public, that shall be incumbent upon him.
 The school alone cannot accomplish all this. The home and society have each In important share in the work; buc the school should keep this ultimate aim in view, and so direct its efforts that tlc desired end may be attained as nearly as possible.
 9 The objects of school discipline are determined by the work of the school on unless many excellent qualities of moral character are well developed. Pupils must be obedient. respectful. honest, punctual. dilgent, faithful, con- siderate of the rights of others, self sacrificing and able and willing to work in harmony with others for common purpose. A little reflection will convince any one that the ordinary exercises of the classroom cannot be conducted with the best results unless the moral traits above named are deeply engraved upon the pupils minds. Thus the discipline of the school even more than the intellectual training given therein contributes to the attainment of the ultimate aim of educa- tion.
 Madison Babcock writes:
 l. The ultimate aim of education de- pends upon the point of view from which you approach the question. From the standpoint of the State it should be to make an all-around, high-minded, patri- otic citizen. From the standpoint of the individual the ultimate aim of education

 The moral character of the individual finds an expression in society and in the State, and he is just as responsible to the State for his civic conduct as he is to his Creator for his religious duties.-School Education.
 No one who examines the reading in our school can fail to be struck, not so much with the absence of expressive power as with the absence of mental grasp. There is no better way to develop a thinking person than by careful training in read ing.
