The State Auditor has received
reports OF taxable values of real es-
tate and personal property for The
year 1899 from fifty seven counties.
The returns from these counties
show an increase OF S9,6S3,215 over
the returns from the same counties
last year. OF the fifty sever coun-
ties SO far reported, not one failed to
show an increase, the county OF
Mecklenburg leading with an in.
crease of $1,000, 656 Wake and
,hirty-six other counties are yet to
hear from. 1t is estimated that the
increase in The total amount o. tax
valuation for the year Will be in the
De~lghbolhood OF twelve million dol
lars. This is significant because
there was a shrinkage of twelve
million IN the taxable valuations OF
property in the State from the year
1891 10 1891. From 1897 to 1898
a gain OF $4,000, 600 in valuation was
made. This year the increase has
been greater already, with thirty
seven counties to hear from, than in
many previous years.

NaIue of n Comma.

A Prussian school inspector appeared
at the office of the burgomaster of lit
tie town to ask him to accompany him
on a tour of inspection through the
schools.
The burgomaster was out of sorts.
and was heard to mutter to himself:
what is this donkey here again
for2"
The inspector said nothing, but wait
ed his time, and with the unwilling
burgomaster set out ON his tour.
At the first school he announced his
wish to see how well punctuation was
taught
''Oh, never mind that" grumbled
the burgomaster. 1--WE don't care for
commas and such trif1es.
But the inspector sent boy to the
blackboard and ordered him to write:
1.-The burgo1naster of r. says. the in
spector is donkey"
Then he ordered him to tranSpose the
comma, placing it after R., and to in
sert another one after inspector, and
the boy wrote:
THE burgomaster of R., says the in
spector, Isl donkey"
1t is probable that the refractory off
cial gained new idea of the value of
Commas and such trifies. London

DICKENS AND FRoeeEL.
what the Novelist Did For Child
hood-uIs work For Education


hood-Iis work For Education
Froebel and Dickens. it is claimed.
are the best interpreters of Christ s
ideals of childhood. The philosophy of
Froebel and the stories of Dickens are
in perfect harmony. The two great re-
formers protested vigorously against
the interference of intermeddling adults
with the full development of the indi-
viduality of the child. They recognized
the divinity in each child SO fully that
they objected to all stamping and
molding" processes by which its self
hood was dwarfed or warped. Other ed
ucators and reformers had considered
the problems of human evolution from
the standpoint of the adult and had
asked, what can we do to fit the child
for its work. Froebel and Dickens
asked, How can we help the child to
grow by its own self activityZ" They
were the great apostles of childhood.
They began the struggle for the free
dom of childhood from the restrictive
interference of adulthood.
Dickens is commonly regarded merely
as an educational critic. This is mar
row and unfair view. He was a great
critic. He aroused the indignation of
the civilized world against those who
treated childhood inhunanly. and the
hatred of adult tyranny which he awak-
ened developed loving sympathy for
children. But he could not have so
clearly exposed the wrong in education
without having n definite conception of
the right. He was the greatest destruc-
tive educational critic, but he was also
a most advanced, positive. constructive
educator. There is no great ideal of the
"new education which is not revealed
by Dickens in his novels or his miscel-
laneous writings.
Dickens was the first Englishman of
note to advocate the kindergarten. In
July. 1855, he published an article of
II columns in Household Words. which
would take a leading place if compared
with the papers read at a meeting of
the International kindergarten union

Wax RnttlcshIps.

Comparatively few know that by the
English admiralty's orders perfect mod
els are made in paraffin wax of every
new battleship before it is laid down,
and these models are tested in tank at
Haslar. The models are from - feet TO
"a feet long, and the tank is 400 feet
long and 90 feet wide. The models are
made of wax, because it is material
which does not absorb water or change
its weight, so alterations can be easily
made; also the material can be melted
up and used again.
