Ftrmansnl anc Necessary,

This commission says: THE evening
school has come 10 be recognized as a
legltimate. permanent ana necessary
part OF our public school system. a.
is L.: duty Of tis community which
undertakes 10 Olftr tree schooling be-
yond the elements TO all the children i'm
the community whose parents are 50
situated that they cal afford to send
their children ~ the day schools for
one. Two. three or four years beyond
the elementary grade. 10 provide these
facilities also for those children who
are LOT able Co avail themselves of the
day schools. The fact tnat parent is
not able TO send his boy OF 10 or 10 10
the day schools ought not 20 deprive
him OF the advantage of secondary ed
ucation. which, at the cost OF the whole
community is offered to his more fa-
vored associates.
"Our system OF night schools should
afford secondary Instruction, as far as
possible. to all who desire IT,. This
means that We must duplicate practic-
ally our entire free school system in a
series OF evening schools for the benefit
OF those children who are not able to
attend the day schools. The evening
-.agh school. with free corrse OF study,
is just as much a legiie nate and neces-
sary part OF our scheme OF education
as the day high school The full func-
tion and purpose OF the evening school
has not yet Teen described. IL should
not attempt merely TO duplicate the IA .
cllities Of the day schools. but IL
should. to some degree. bring to the
adult population OF the community an
opportunity to secure the kind OF men,
tai training and mental food that will
90 far them. at their more advanced
age. what the facilities ~ our second
airy schools have done for their more
fortunate Juniors"
There Is a great deal more. of course,
contained in the report. but these are
the leading features. and they would
certainly seem 90 apply Just as well -
Providence as they viii 10 Chicago. In
the meantime the action OF the COM
WItffe on evening schools Will be an
xiQusly awaited. not only By the pupils,
but by the teachers.

Dangers of Laughter.

1t is surprising to learn from the
highest medical authority in England
that laughter may be injurious.
Laughter in itself, says the British
Medical Journal, cannot very we'll kill.
but it may do harm. Hysterical girls
and boys with kindred nervous affec-
tions are often given to immoderate
laughter, which tends to increase nerv-
ous exhaustion.
DIR. Feilohenfeid relates an instruc-
tive case in which a little girl suffered
from very definite cardiac symptoms
after immoderate laughter. The patient
was 13 years old and had previously
been free from any sign Of heart dis
ease. After laughing on and off for
nearly an hour with some companions
she suddenly felt stabbing pains in the
chest and was seized with fits of cough
ing, followed by cardiac dyspn9a, very
well marked. FeilcheDfeld believes that
the cardiac disease directly resulted
from immoderate laughing.

rank herbuge growing below. 1t fell,
splash, on the back of a sleeping leo
pard. who jumped perpendicularly into
the air as high as the roof of the hut.
What might have happened next? Who
can say? But the astonished woman
dropped the pan with a clang upon the
rock, and the leopard took one leap
down hill. The pan followed, and the
leopard's downward leaps became Ion
ger and swifter as the pan bounded aft
or it from rock to rock.
When last seen the leopard had just
achieved leap of about $50 feet to the
very bottom of the ravine, thousands of
feet below, and the pan had whirled
about 500 feet over il on to the opposite
side. The leopard would have eaten the
old woman with pleasure, but a pan
which first scalded half the hide off
him and then bounded changing in his
wake from the top of the Himalayas to
the plains below was something which
he could not face. Good Words.

Ia Your Name Herer

A contributor has been amusing him
self by trying to answer the question or
series of questions, What man in the
history of the world whose name began
with A-and after that every other let
ter of the alphabet in order-exerted the
greatest influence upon the thought and
conduct of mankind?
OF course there are some letters which
are not very prolific in the names OF
great men, but we think most of oul
readers will be surprised to see how
many of the most illustrious names in
history are included and how few are
excluded.
In some cases the compiler seems tc
have selected names quite as much with
a view to comprehending in the list
men of many countries. as because the
name given was that of the greatest
man of his time. The list follows:
Aristotle, Baco, Confucius, Darwin,
