Upon this the intruder attacked her with
a scythe, which he had secured in the
garden and brought in with him. Mr..
Schunemann, hearing his mothers
screams. rushed to the scene OF the dis

darkness he was afraid to shoot, but
finally succeeded in getting the intruder
between himself aud the window and
promptly fired.
The man fell and remained motionless

School Children

Physical Condition OF Chicago Pupils Measured to Indicate
Mental Capacity-May Work Great ChangeS-Re-
suits Indicate Danger in CO-educatiOn- Children
Apparently Stupid May be Made Clever
Elaborate Instruments Used.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-The Chicago school
board has begun an innovation which
may bring about sweeping reforms
in the whole American school
system. Not satisfied with watching
the mental development of the chill
dren in its charge, it has gone about
the study Of their physical develop
ment with minute care, in the belief
that brain growth in school children is
much more strongly Influenced by their
physical condition than has hitherto
been realized. If the plan works out
as il at present seems likely to. the
grading of pupils and the matter of
co-education in public school VIII be
greatly affected. Many children now
accepted as students viii be sent to
their homes for physical care, and
many who are now regarded as being
stupid in their studies will, through
the cooperation of the scientific school
examiners and the pupils own family

where their minds will work freely and
quickly. In the meantime it may be
found wise to separate girls and BOYS

Tests of sight and hearing are also
made, the sight tests being not dis
| similar to those of the ordinary opti-
clan. The apparatus used in testing
the hearing is the most delicate ever
used anywhere.
WHY AND WHEREFORE.
Similar study of children has been
carried on IN the past in many places
and by many Investigators, but never
before under the auspices of a munich
pality or state as a part of the regular
educational system or in conditions
making it possible to study a large
number Of children by exactly the
same methods of a considerable period
The establishment of the department
in connection with the Chicago school
system was brought about by the eff
forts of DIR. w. S. Christopher, a mem
Der of the Chicago school board whose
speciality as a physician is the treat
ment of children, and who has been
convinced for years that the efficiency
of the public schools everywhere could
be increased vastly were a careful and
scientific scheme of child study to be
maugurated.
Dr. Christopher's view. shared by
many eminent educators, by the way.
is not that the measuring and testing
are of value in themselves to the school
department, but that, considered in re-
lation to age and class standing, they
may be made the basis of deductions
which viii suggest highly useful
changes in the grading of the children
and in the school courses themselves.
This view seems borne out with special
force by the records obtained in one
of Chicago's ungraded schools. Only |
pupils who are backward in their men |
tai development are sent to this school. |
their low standing has been |
to obstinacy and viciousness
in many instances, but the records |
show clearly that backwardness may
be. and frequently is. due to physical

child being accompanied by some
bodily defect in nearly every case.

they didn't have enough to eat. and.
being partially starved, it was impossiz
bic for them to do the regular school
work. Others were short in lung capac-

viii be observed that its lines are re-
markedly even at the beginning, but
decrease with conspicuous regularity.
Records quite different in appearance
are made by children who are not in
good shape physically, and it has been
found in practice that the ergograph at
once reveals the nervous child, the
child of highstrung temperament and
the child with irregular capacity for
work. Thus the ergograph is supposed
to indicate nerve power, rather than
muscular strength. Singular as it may
seem, the results obtained appear to
bear out this notion, since it is not at
all unusual for a person of delicate
physique and with a comparatively
undeveloped muscular system to make
a better showing than a far more mus
cular individual.

at the same time. No doubt they some
times shuddered when they thought
what might be the horrible result of a
little carelessness, and there isn't the
shadow of a doubt that there were some
pretty frightened workmen at Lafay-

that the Spanish fleet might pay its re-
spects to New York.
FORT LAFAYETTE TODAY.
But today it is different at Fort La
fayette. AS the navy's chief distribut-
ing magazine, the old structure is still a
pretty busy place in it's way, but at
this time there is none of the confusion
which marked it early in 1898. 1t was
done away with, in fact long before
the close of the war, though much is
to be accomplished yet before Lafayette
will be in ideal shape.
