The Maine was a second-class battle
ship with two turrets and her keel was
laid in 1888 She was one OF our small
est armored vessels, having displace-
ment OF 66S2 tons and speed OF II knots
per hour. Her engines had 5000 horse
power and he ship cost the government
fully 100000. Her main battery
consisted O four ten.inch breech-loading
guns and her secondary battery con-
Sisted OF eight six FOUNDER and eight one
FOUNDER rapid firing guns and four
Calling guns.
The Maine was 32+ feet long and was
one OF the few warships built at the
United States ravy yard from designs
supplied by the navy department. 1t is
not generally remembered that Capt.
Sigsbee had his nerve tried year ago.
Last July he ran the ship into an East
river pier in New York as the alternative
OF ramming a crowded excursion boat
that was right in front OF the Maine.
The big warship cut freight barge al
most in two, but the excursion boat was
saved. Harper's Weekly OF recent dates,

ways detect the defect in the pupils
eyes. but by simple tests an expert
would recognize what was wrong in
the child's eyesight. Eleven per cent
of the children in the public schools
oe Illinois have been found to have
defective vision. So with hearing. Dull
children. in most cases. suffer from de-
fectiye hearing. If a stupid scholar
has an open mouth and a drawn down
face there may be adenoid growJhs in
the vault of the pharynX that q surgeon
could easily remove. Nineteen per cent
Of the pupils in the public schools of
Illinois have defective hearing in one
or both ears. Children thus affected
have been accused of being lazy and
inauJenUive, when the fault was in the
ears.
The last point made in the magazine
article from which these facts and sug-
gestiOns have been summarized is that
in all education we should follow the
path Of least resistance. Suppose
that you have a dynamo with four
strands of wire, copper. German silver
steel, zinc Which wire Will conduct
most of the current from the gem
orator? The copper wire, Of course
Then why insist that the current must
be conducted by the German silver
wire? You burn out and ruin your dy-
namo. for the electric current viii fol-
low the path Of least resistance. Why
not use the same common sense in the
case of children?'
What would you say Of a manufac-
turer, who knew every pulley, joint and
rod of his intricate machinery, but did
not pay any attention to the kind of
cotton he bought. whether sea island,
short fibre or long staple? The strain
of school work affects children Of poor
physical development very differently
from what it does children of sound
bodily constitution. The nervous sys-
tenn of the child differs very materially
from the nervous system of the adult
1t is eXcitable, under feeble, inhibitoTy
control. The sources of rife irritation
in the child are many, and the nerve
centers discharge their force more
readily and faithfully than in the
adult. The nervous systems of many
children are also suffering from mall
nutrition, and they are not capable Of
doing the work Of their grade, if age
only be taken into account. Some
children of feeble physical development
should be placed in q grade lower than
that to which their age and general
intelligence would assign them. If not,
under the strain of school work they
may develope chOrea, hysteria, or
some other form of neurosis. Among
the important considerations in the by
gIene Of the school room is plenty of
fresh air For when we speak of school
work as the cause Of disease, we mean
not only brain work, but all that is
cOmprehended in the environment as
we'll as the curriculum of the schol-
airs. examinations, rest periods, public
display Of precocious, that is, abnormal,
attainments. We should make the
child's nervous system the ally Of our
educational arrangements, and not a
foe to all possible progress.
