bassy at London, and many princes and
princesses were present on the famous
plains Of Aldershot to-day to witness the
review of over 1900 of the best troops in
the kingdom.
This review is interpreted IN London to-
night as means of satisfying Queen Vic
toria that her troops ready for any
emergency they may be called on to meet
in the Transvaal or elsewhere. Ii is known
now that the Queen returned from Balmoral
Castle. Scotland, mostly for the purpose of
attending this review, and, in view of the
fact ofs her Majestys natural reluctance
to attend such functions, the Importance of
this review is manifested
Not since the Queens jubilee has a more
magnificent army corps passed before a
European sovereign, and while six thousand
additional troops remained in their barracks
the display afforded the Queen ample evi-
dence of her military resources All the reg
iments which took part In the review were
those which would answer the first hurry
call to arms for the Transvaal and else
where and as the first battalions swung past
the royal carriages their fitness evoked the
heartiest applause. Nearly 1900 infantry,
so guns and $500 horses made up this mag
nificent display.
Nearly all the foreign military attaches
were present and a profound impression
was made upon them as the dragons. the
Scots. the famous Royal Regiment. of which

Hastings of Lincoln, Nebr. Twenty five
hundred children have been examined at
Lincoln and 10000 at Omaha. Fifteen diff
ferent physical qualities were taken by
observers; the same number of accessory
items as to nationality. occupation, dis
eases, etc, were ELECTED by question

suits compare favorably with those OBJ
tafned at Boston by DIR. Bowditch, at ST.

Professor Hastings as follows:
l. Nebraska children take medium place as
regards weight; they are superior to any others
in height
2; Children of American parentage are pre-
vailingly superior to foreigners.
3. Girls are heavier and taller than boys dur
Ing the thirteenth and fourteenth years. Dur
ing the twelfth and fifteenth years also they
exceed boys in height but not in weight.
T. The physical basis of mental efficiency is
clearly demonstrated by the fact that the
height, weight and other physical qualities
OF children of the same age correspond to
school grades.

by Principal Vinton A. Paesseler of the

Skill and art in metal working has always
been so necessary to human existence that 1t

opinion Of the speaker the thought side
in the schools should be strengthened by
using fewer books and more laboratories;
the expression side by the constant prac-
tice of portraying daily experiences by
words, drawings and figures. In brief,
schools would be improved If they taught
more labor and less discussion of the
question of labor. AS 1t was the tendency

with the subject. Should Arithmetic,
