Those OF us who are past the school
age are often called upon TO look hack
with regret upon the meagreness of our
adva ntages as compared with those Of
the present day, and to marvel that we
ever succeeded in mastering even the
rudiments of an education. We Are liv.
ing in an age of educational congresses.
Great gatherings from all the world, rep.
resenting the be st thoughts of the great
est minds, meet in solemn conclaves,
there to discuss this, that and the other
aspect of the child mind Educational
journals are filled with the views Of emf
nent psychologists on the for mation of
habits, the Influence of association, the
acquisition of language, the traits of
hereditv, the play OF the emotions In
fine, there is no phase of child life and
child thought that is not sought out,
analy@ed, and viewed with microscopic
thoroughness. Theories are advanced
experiments made and conclusions
reached, until we stand amazed to see
what part the educat0n Of the child is

carry out the theories thus formulated
every device and convenience ingenuity
can devise are brought into rtquisition.
From the kindergarten with its straws
and colors and blocks for the three and
foul year old child, on up through the
primary and grammar grades with their
globes and charts and maps, we find
methodical, systematized, INTELLIGENT
work under trained specialists being
done; and then TOO, along with these ac
cessories to mind training we find the
closest attention being paid to hygiene
and physical comfnrts, in all the details
of hot and cold mir ventilators, revolving
desks, curtained windows, dustless
crayon, slate boards and thousand and
one school luXuries of which our fathers
never dreamed But it has remained for
President Andrews, OF Brown University.
To suggest luxury's browning luxury for
our public schools. In an address before
the State Teachers Association of Illinois
this week, Pre- sident Andrews made n
strong appeal for free lunches in our
schools. The arguments brought forward
in favor of it, rs might be expected from
such source, were logical ami. for ,eful
and such as to appeal to all who heard
him. AT some future time we hone to
mention them; Just now space forhids.
Suffice it to say that all who were edu-
Gated under the old regime will be forced
to the conclusion that they were born too
early in the century,s SO far as educational
advantages and luxuries are concerned.

DODGED THE REAL ISSUE.
Baseball MagnateS Not Anxious to
Fine Players.

New York, Dec. 31.--Unless the club
owners in the National Baseball League
change their minds betreen now and the
February meeting, they will make no de-
finite move to stop Kicking.on the field,
but will probably fix II penalty for play
ers who use obscene language. In almost
every city in the league the magnates
have decla, ed themselves in favor Of pun
ishing fonl-mouthed players, either by
the proposed blacklist or, by II temporary
suspension, but in each instance they
have lodged the real issue. which is. that
any violation of the rule which says that
AN umpire's ruling cannot be quest toned
except in case Of techn cal interprets ton
must be punished.
Some of them say openly that the
playerssscannot be so thoroughly restrain
ed as to prevens occasional outbreaks
against alleged. incompetent umpres,
while others hide behind the old state
ment that this year the umplres will en-
force the rules more strictly than ever
before
The umpires say that if they did en-
force the rules by fiuing and expelling
PLAYERS. they would incur the enmity of
the club owners and managers, who
would have them removed from the staff.

Another striking illustration of the
oily of rich men to wait until they are
dead to dispose of their money is found
in the will of the late Er. Thomas Evans,
the famous dentist. DIR. Evans left
fortune of more than IS, 600, 900, the bulk
OF which was designed to go 10 Phila-
delphia dental institute. The best of
lawyers in drawing will often fail to
observe some technicali,y the omission of
which will afford good pickngs for the
lawyers for generation or more but
when one attempts by an autograph will,
as did DR.. Evans, to devise so immense
an estate, the chances are not one in
million of its reaching the object de-
signed. In the case of DR.. Evans, there
were two wills of such contradictory
natuie that one clause counteracted the
other. AS n Paris lawyer expressed it,
chad he drawn will for the..eXpress pur-
pose of benefiting the legal fraternity he
could not have sue ?eeded better" I'M
pecunious relatives who felt themselves
sighted by the contents of the will were
not slow tc seize upon is weak points,
and now there is the prospect of long
litigation in which, no matter how de.
cided, the original fortune will be pared
down to very small amount as COM
pared with the original sum. Had the
douor during his lifetime only seen fit to
hestow upon the institute his muniticent
gift, not only would he have had in life
the gratitude OF the en,ficiaries, hut he
would also have had the satisfaction of
knowing that his Instructions were be-
ing carried out according to his wishes.
AS it is, the chances are that n prncely
fortune will be dribbled away in the
slow process of a Law suit, all owing to
the folly of attempting to make his own
will, and the cupidity of holding on to
what he lad up to the last. gasp of life.
