THE HIGH SCHOOL FACE.

An indianapolis Doctor Discovers . New
PhYsiognomical Affilction.
Copious comment has boon made on
various types of faces, and particularly on
the bicycle face. This article is about the
high school face.
The high school face Is the discovery of
a prominent physician of the city who Is
too modest to permit his name to be used.
That there Is such face he is very posi-.
tive. sit Is not a work of the imagina.
tion," he said yesterday, "nor is 1T a
chimera. The high school face is stern
reality"
what are its symptoms or oharacteris-
tics, doctor?" he was asked.
1.-THE high school face, replied the doc.
tor, sis to be found In every sohoolroom.
What Is itp 1t is a drawn, anxious, in.
tense, sometimes an alarmed expression.
The forehead Is contracted into wrinkles,
tho lips twitch, the eyes stare or have a
strained look, and pallor Is spread over
the countenance
The doctor enlarged ON this interesting
diagnosis and mentioned few cases that
had come under his own observation.
Proceeding, he said:
"The cause Of the high school face Is the
modern effort, SO fercely put forth, to jam
all minds and all Compartments into tho
same pigeonholes in the same time-that
Is to say, modern teaching seems to have
for its fist principle tho molding of all
minds In the same mold. We might just
as we'll try to make all the children wear
the same sized shoes. In addition to this
each teacher of the different branches
thinks his or her branch tho most impor-
tant, and crowds and pushes and worries
those pupils who, although not dull, do
not take readily to that particular branch.
"The pupil who, through natural apti
tude, carries mathematics or physics with
interest and ease, may be slow in ltera-
ture and language but no matter-the
culprit must make grades. 'Wo must hurry
on and get over the prescribed course,
says the teacher, and this must be done
though small percentage of the pupils
fall by the wayside.
''No profession calls for more patience
or forbeRrance than that of teaching"
continued the Doctor II might liken
teaching to horse driving. Some men can
drive team of spirited horses SO that they
will go along Willingly and easily for
great distances. Other men will wear the
team out In short order. It's tho nag
ging, the pulling and the harassing that
do it, So with some pupils Of highly
nervous temperament-they must DO
handled properly or the high school face is
inevitable. On the other hand, there are
some pupils who, like some horses, cannot
be made nervous by the most unskillful
handling. Sanitariums are making con-
siderable ado about unsanitary lighting,
heating and ventilating, but is it not pos
sible that just as much harm comes from
hurry up teaching as from these other
causesS To sum up, the high school face
is the result of insincere teachers-teach-
ers who lack gentleness, patience and
gentility. indianapolis journal.

Life of q Fire Engine.

The life of fire engine in this city in
Its first use is ton years. 1t is then rebuilt
and is good, either in regular service or as
reserve engine, for ten years moro. Aft
er 20 years of service the old engine is sold
at auction.
1t may be bought by another city or
town for uso us a fire engine, but this hap.
pens very rarely. The engines arc heavy,
and they must be drawn by horses, 30
they arc not adapted for use in smaller
cities. Tho old engine is oftener bought
by contractor, for use, for instance, in
pumping out cellars. In such service q
steam pressure of 80 pounds might be
ample for tho work, while in fire service u
pressure Of $50 pounds might be required.
In such work us this the old engine might
last three or four years more.
Sometimes the discarded fire department
engine is bought by a junk dealer, who
breaks it up for the metals 1t contains
and this is what they all come to at last.
