1t is to be found in the educational sys-
tenn Of Massachusetts,, which is both
theoretical and practical. Their educa-
ton began early and is at once both

In what way is it possible for US as
teachers to put ourselves in such an at

from the best informed men and period

One element is now most important in
our work-the aesthetic element Every
child, man and woman loves the beau

much money into dress, into entertain

1t is the fact that every individual is
deeply imbued with the aesthetic sense
and that it is most easily aroused. Be

There are three requirements of a good

Lastly, we will succeed only as we rec

self activity. The training which we
give the child must enable him to build
his own ideals rather than the ideals Of
others. That children should always be

idea 1t should be the attitude of activ-

DIES AS HE EXPECTS SUCCESS


While telling his companions Of the
money he expected in few DAYS
from one of his inventions, John
Rourke died the other night in his
chair in the Model lodging house, Chi
cago.
For the last week Rourke, who was
60 years old, had been without money.
and while allowed to sleep in the lodg-
ing house he had been unable to pur-
chase sufficient food, and had grown
weak and emaciated as a result.
For years he had been at work on q
gas engine which he had invented, and
a patent had been applied for. He was
without means to perfect his models.
but recently through friends in On
tario he had succeeded in interesting
Frank y. McGrath, a retired wealthy
manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Mich,
in his scheme, and from letters found
in his possession it was learned that
McGrath had agreed to advance al
the money necessary to perfect the
machine and place II on the market.
Sitting in the Office Of the lodging
house the old man was telling his
companions, less fortunate than him
self, of the turn the tide was about 10
take in his favor. and how. In few
days after he had received his first
installment, he would trfat them III -
a good dinner, when his hands sudden
ly dropped to his sides; his head fell
forward on his breast and he vas
dead.
Little is known Of the old man By
any of his companions In the lodging
house. He had spend nearly all his
time working on drawings for his in
vention.
He was Canadian and had confided
to Clerk Seymour, OF the lodging
house, that he formerly had held ex-
cellent positions in the dominion, but
as to the reason for his leaving there
or concerning his life in Chicago he
had little to say.
His body was removed to Rolston's
undertaking rooms, 20 Adams street,
where an inquest was held.
