count of some proceedings in that city,
Histories of England furnished as supple
mentary reading for the seventh and eighth
grades in the public schools. were thrown
out temporarily yesterday by the school
management committee of the board of edu-
cation. Inc tight made at the last meeting
OF the board had been transferred to the
committee, and the result was that on the
motion of Trustee John T. Heating, who is
president of the Ancient Order Of Hiber4
mans, the district superintendents were
ordered to recommend other books on Eng
fish history which would not contain any
reference to England as the mother coun-
try"
Wnen the matter came up on the motion
to adopt several hundred books for supple
mentary reading Trustee Heating said:
Every book on this list is good With the
exception of the histories Of England |
think it is time the public schools of Chi
cago should have histories which show the
rapaclty and tyranny of England Id their
true light. The history of England is
worth studying, but our children do not
want to be reminded that England is the
only country on the globe. The United
have laws founded on the English system
What we want in the schools is a history Of
English which will be liberal enough to
allow credit to other countries"
DR.. Stolz asked what history was rec |
commended as supplementary reading for
the seventh and eighth grades, He was
told that Green's Short History of the |
English People was recommended. This !
is splendid work. said Dr., sStolz. "but it |

There is no such thing as a pain

Any pain, no matter what, from which

something wrong.
1T is true that the wrong may be very

accompanied by little fever and ach-

They are not growing pains, but pains

The evil of the false security created
by this name for condition which does
not exist is, however manifested when
the pains recur repeatedly, or are con-
slant. Since growth is constant, the
parent reasons with seeming logic that
the pain should also be constant; and
SO the repeated complaints of the little
sufferer are dismissed without a sus-
picion of the miserable future they fore
tell

OF human conduct which are more or
less Injurious to society, some phases of
behavior are palpably bad, and must be
dealt with in some fashion, or else the
body polite expires.
Society's early method was prompt
excision of the part affected. Was
there criminal? OF with his head!
This system was simple, cheap and
easy; but after centuries of practice it
has dawned upon society that Grimm
ality is much like beard-it grows by
shaving.
Various depilatories have been recon-
mended and applied, but the crop reap
pears constantly.
All this while society took the crimi-
nal as dispensation of Providence and
never questioned but that he must exist.
Today this ancient assumption totters
visibly; we gaze askance upon our
criminal class, and begin to wonder
where it comes from-what makes it.
Some thought has been given to cut
ting off the line of individual criminals.
That does not work. Crime is not hered-
itary in that sense and degree There.
are not in the world mere certain
strains of criminal blood which, being
eliminated, all would go we'll.
Then society, becoming still further
awake, begins to perceive that human
ity-just common, average humanity
responds to certain conditions with
astonishing regularity of result; that
children, good ordinary, average child
rem, being subjected to certain condi-
tions, physical. mental, moral, social.
become exactly what might have been
expected. An occasional hero resists
the conditions for time; but a. few
generations of it reduce that rare ex-
ceptiOn to the rule Certain conditions
produce criminals.
Society Is now on the right track
1t has learned that social diseases re-
Quire other treatment than shaving.
What conditions produce criminals?
How can We remove the conditions and
so exterminate the crop of criminals?
While we are studying those specific
conditions" which produce criminals,
and how on the one hand to eliminate
the conditions and on the other to
strengthen the resistance of the indi-
vidual, one thing we can do now. We
can seize upon every child now born in
the surroundings which we know to be
crime producing and subject him to
years of gardening.
We have plain proof in gathered facts
of the reduction in criminality which
three or four years of kindergarten
training gives, and the objection made
by parents to compulsory education"
at later age does not hold In ,,aby-
hood.
Mr.. Horace Fletcher is preaching this
movement, and the good sense of the
country ought to help it along.
The saving in money alone ought to
appeal to the most sordid Criminals

termination, as we do for that of the

BROTHS FOR CHILDREN.
NV Mo r3On uo r1onI

(By Marion Harland.)
Copyright, 1899, by Walter B. Guild.)
Dr. Jerome Walker, we'll known as
an authority upon all that pretains to
the physical we'll being Of infancy and
childhood, says in his little manual en-
titled Health Lessons" that "Ameri-
can children do not eat enough soups
and broths, which are healthy and
cheap, but German and French parents
well know how useful such food is for
their children"
The volume from which l quote was
published in 1887, and it is encouraging
to note that in the past dozen years
the average parent has made vast
strides in the knowledge of nursery
dietetics and hygiene. Still there are
many families in which the stimulating
and nourishing properties of broths and
soups are not appreciated as they
should be. The mother who would COM
bine nOurishment with economy should
make herself mistress of the art of
manufacturing few meat and vege-
table broths which may with advantage
occupy prominent place upon the nur-
sery menu.
Chicken Broth-Set aside a quart Of
the water in which a fowl. has been
boiled OF fricassed, and when very cold
skim every particle of fat from the sur
face Of the liquid. Soak handful of
rice for an hour in cold water Put the
chicken stock over the fire and when
it boils stir in the soaked rice, and cook
until the grains are very tender.
Season with salt and a few drops of
onion juice. In another saucepan heat
a cup of milk and thicken it with a tea
spoonful of corn starch rubbed into
tablespoonful of butter. When thick
and smooth gradually pour this white
sauce upon a beaten egg, stirring con-
stantly. Turn this mixture into a
warmed tureen, and stir the scalding
soup into it. A little minced parsley
Is an improvement
Mutton Broth-Soak half a cup of
barley in cold water for an hour. Re-
move all grease from five cups of NUT
ton stock and put over the fire with
salt to taste and teaspoonful of onion
Juice Simmer gently for an hour, then
add teaspoonful of minced parsley,
and boil for minute longer. In an
other saucepan cook together table
spoonful each of butter and -four. and
when these are blended stir upon them
the hot soup. Beat all together and
serve
Tomato BrOth-Turn a quart of to-
matOes from the can an hour before you
wish to use them. Boil half cup of
rice tender. Put the tomatoes over the
fire to stew. with an onion, sliced. Cook
% minutes, rub through a colander and
return the juice to the fire. Add to
this the boiled rice with the water in
which it was cooked, a tablespoonful of
granulated sugar and salt to taste Cook
together tablespoonful each of but
ter and flour. and when they bubble and
are thoroughly blended, gradually stir
in upon them half pint of hot milk
in which bit of soda the size of a pea
has been dissolved When thick and
smooth gradually stir the tomato juice
into the milk and pour all Immediately
into a tureen.
