has to do with the attention given To
langua ges. The modern should super
sede the ancient branches in the high
school. 1t is the people who support
the schools and the great masses sead
their children to school for a compare
lively short time; as a rule not longer
than sufficient to complete the gram
mar schools. That being the case there
is no doubt in my mind that studies
should be included which would best
fit the local needs of the community I
have from time to time spoken of the
great benefit to wage earning COM
munity of manual training. I think
that too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon this.
I'm constructing or revising the couse
Of a school the local trade commercial
and industrial condition should be Civ
en- serious consideration. 1t is not
we'll for us to equip young men for
that which they never expect to be-
come. and 1t should be the aim Of every
school to give it's patrons and constit-
uents the class of instruction which
will be of practical value in the busi-
ness world to every boy or girl who
completes it's course.
There is one thing which was very
evident at the meeting of superinten-
dents, as we'll as other educational
gatherings which I have attended
during the last few years, and that
is the great progress made in the West
in pedagogical matters. 1t has become
well established fact that the West
now leads in its large field and large
range of experiment New courses
have been introduced in the West and
the latest and most up-to-date methods
have been conceived byWestern educa-
tors The East looks to the West for
new ideas, and the latter is generally
acknowledged as the most progressive
in all school matters. This condition
las only become recognized during the
last decade.
THE subject Of the relations between
the teacher and superintendent was
quite generally discussed as a subject
of great Importance. I have always
held that the individuality Of the
teacher should be respected, and that
changes in the methods in her grade
should not be made until she had been
consulted I believe that the success
of the school depends largely upon the
teachers being allowed latitude in ex-
ercising their own individuality in the
closely to the text or form.
while the majority Of the superin-
tendents attending at Columbus be-
leved in an increase in the power Of
the superintendent, I do not share the
same views Many believed that the
superintendent should be given full au-
thority to appoint, remove and trans
fer teachers, without any recourse
whatever I think the superintendent
has power enough and as agent Of the
board he is authorized to do all these
things with the sanction Of the board
of education"

How MORO Castle Was Once Taken
by British Am orleans.

1t is bit of history worth recalling that
Havana itself was once successfully invested
and cannonaded, and that, moreover, the
troops, to whose courage and mettle the cap
ture of the city was almost wholly due, were

feet landed some 1900 troops on the coast
few miles east of Havana. The work of i'll
vestment was quickly begun, and, notwith-
standing the gallant defense made by the
garrison and the mortality caused among the
British troops by disease and famine, the 30th
day Of June the opening of fierce ana
destructive fire on the forts of MORO castle.
Seventeen days later the Spanish guns had
been all but silenced and a footing was
gained by the besiegers within the ditch itself
that forms the outer work of the caste. One
month after the opening of the bembardment
a breach of sufficient dimensions had been
made, and storming party composed of
provincial troops, known as the Royal Amerl-
cans, carried the fortress by surprise. The
city of Havana subsequently, reduced to
surrender, and became British property. 1t
was subsequently exchanged for the Floridas.
