A girl In a New England factory
wrote her name several months ago on
q bolt of cotton. Recently she received
a letter from a woman in Arizona say
ing that the cloth had been bought by
the Government, and was being cut up
for garments in an Apache Indian
school. 1t is but a few years ago that
the Apaches thought more of taking
scalps than of schools in which shirt
making Is done. While the mill girl ;
act elected this striking comparison, it
was an act to be unhesitatingly con
demned. A girls name so represents
herself that to have II lightly banded
about In writing, or In public convey
ances, or in the mouths Of strangers,
reflects meretriciously upon her char
acter. Had the bolt of cotton fallen
into unscruplous hands, the letter sent
from Arizona might have been any
ahing but pleasing to the thoughtless
recipient.

the way, Is very pretty child and
gives promise Of developing into a
beautiful young woman. She Is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ole
rich. Her father was recently super
intendent of the public schools of Lake
City, but he gave up the post for the
purpose of devoting himself TO the
work of writing a treatise on educa-
ton.
When Viola was one year and eleven
months and twenty-five days old she
passed an examination before two COM
petent teachers. At that time the child
knew not less than 1900 substantives.
II Is probable that the vocabulary of
this baby was at that time much larger
than that of the ordinary man. Her
father says that Viola knows more
nouns than the average adult knows
words. The unusual precocity Of the
child was nurtured md developed by
the parents, and when she once began
to learn she learned so rapidly that
her natural guardians were scarce able
TO keep pace with her.
Records OF the child's work were
AtPt Df nEl pa. GINS anu arc ttIy luNCt-
esting. There is first a scrapbook In
which are pasted the pictures Of HOO
various objects. Viola can tell the
name of any of these objects by look
Ing at the picture. In separate book
Is kept a record of theI names of the
objects the pictures of which are past
ed in the scrapbook. Viola calls the
scrapbook the picture book" She
readily recognizes all the pictures In
the book, and cannot only do this but
Is also able to read a number of simple
sentences.
Her education has been conducted on
the sentence method" or the syn
thetlc rather than the analytical sys-
tenn of teaching. The results have
been most marvellous. The child can
understand things which do not come
into the mind ordinarily until the age
of fifteen or sixteen has been reached.
Mr.. Olerich's theory of teaching is
what he calls the natural method" IT
rests on three principles, which he de
scribes as follows:
1. TO awaken a keen interest for ed
ucatiOnal work by the use of attractive
pparatus-playthings for the child.
2. To treat the child at all times
with the greatest of kindness and
equality.
3. All the educational works of the
child should be an interesting game of
play--purely voluntary. No element Of
coercion or even undue solicitation
should ever be resOrted to.
THE secret of such wonderful she.
cess in the use of the natural method
of instruction" says Mr.. Olerich. ''lies
In the fact that great interest means
undivided attention, and close atsen-
ton means retention. Kind treatment
and voluntary learning continually in
crease the delight for further inquiry
With all her precocity, Viola has never
studied a lesson in her life. She has
only played and she always wants
to play longer"

Science seems determined to abolish
the time-honored sign of an entente
cordiale between lovers. At the pres
ent rate the kiss will soon survive only
in novels. Marion Crawford's latest
serial tells how the hero kissed the
heroine on her mouth, eyes and h:ar.
but science distinctly disapproves OF
each individual kiss. Having forbid
den the ordinary form of osculatoTy
salute it now raises the danger signal
AS to kissing on the eyes. A young
married woman of Breslau who went
to hospital for treatment of, infiam-
nation of the eyes has been informed
that her sight has been permanently
impaired by bacteria from the lips of
her husband, who was unconsciously
harboring in his system the microbes
that cause inflammation of the lungs.
Thus Is affection robbed Of one more
point of attack. Pretty young women
still appear to be willing martyrs. in
curing the danger without A murmur,
but science evidently thinks it has
mission in saving them from the raw
ages of the oscrlatory microbe.

is not for the policeman TO put life in

only circumstances where its use is
justified are those where the police
mans own life or that of another is in

arrest is sought. The peril must not
be merely fancied or constructive, but
actual and deadly. Otherwise the Off
