as such and committing important names
and dates to memory, children ares now
given political science and constitution
making instead. Result: They learn little
or nothing about English and Roman his
tory. They are given four different books
to learn their history lessons from, and the
same books are not given to every child.
Too Broad and Too Shallow.
40. The present method of teaching in
the public schools-especially spelling, gram
mar, history and geography = is far too
broad and far too shallow. Considerable
pruning of the present overloaded curricu-
lum will undoubtedly be required. The
present lack of thoroughness results from a
multiciplicity Of studies-branches which
are non-essential and decorative being
superimposed before elementary training
has been had. Greek Latin and German
not learned to write English even tolerably.
1t is notorious that the pupils in the High
School are miserable spoilers.
"All this confusion of incompetency and
superficiality appears to result from one
evil which can be easily remedied-the al
legged necessity of the Washington High
School graduating its pupils to enter col
lege. If this is insisted on matters are sure
to go from bad to worse. 1t is in the High
School that the most terrible pressure is
upon the brain Of the young. Many sue
cumb under it and are withdrawn. Some of
the brightest and healthiest children are de-
nberately kept out of the High School by
their parents and physicians. During the
past year an intelligent and interesting
child committed suicide because she could
not keep up with her class Why should
taxpayers be required to pay for the prepa-
ration of children for college? The colleges
continue to raise their standard. and in
order to meet the requirement the curricu-
lum of the Washington schools must be
continually enriched that is, branches
will constantly be added which tend to de-
prive pupils of the thorough knowledge of
anything. The enrichment of the school
course is only another word for dilution.''

WATTERSON on LINCOLN.
War President Discussed by Distin
gufshed Southern Editor.

A large audience at the First Congrega-
tional Church last evening was entertained
by the lecture on Abraham Lincoln deliv-
cred by Mr.. Henry Watterson, the distin-
guished editor of Louisville. 1t was one in
the course of entertainments given under
the auspices of the y. NJ. c. A. and was
on a par with other features of an emf
nently satisfactory course. Considering the
severity of the weather, the attendance was
remarkably large and evinced the interest
which is taken in the life and career of
the great war President, and also in its
presentation by the eloquent southerner.
Mr. Watterscn makes no pretension to
defamation or to oratory, as ii is taught.
but he has something to say and he tells
il in Il fascinating STYLE which makes his
descriptions vivid word pictures. He re-
CARDS Lincoln as man who was inspired
and who was set apart by God for a spe-
ciaI task which he performed grandly- At
the supreme crisis in the life of the nation
the man of the hour came forward, and
led the country out of its peril into more
assured national life.
The lecturer said that Lincoln was the
truest friend the south had in the time Of
its greatest peril.

instruction From Deduction.

20. All instruction should proceed from
the general to the particuiar-from cohfgu-
ration to detail-from far to near, instead
of the reverse. as at present. Arithmetic
should begin with the unit; grammar with
those parts of speech which constitute the
bones of language; instruction in geography
and history should advance from outline
of the earth and the human race to details
of our own time and locality instead of
having its source and center at the school
room and expanding therefrom through
time and space. In other words, the teach
ing of these branches should be from deduo
ton instead of induction: by the a priori
instead of the n posteriori method-because
children are not expected to be discoveries
or inventors while In school, but only to
acquire for themselves the knowledge which
their predecessors have already -accumu-
lated and formulated. And physical geog-
raphy and geology should, whenever neces-
sary, be sacrificed to a fuller and more COM
plete knowledge of cultural geography-the
visible ae hievements of man upon the earth,

 MilIet's "Angeius.w

There are few pictures which have so stirred the heart of humanity as Millet's "Angelus. The girl who SUD- piled the model for the womans figure was Adele Marier, who constantly re- appears in the famous French artist s pictures. It is stated that she retained no resemblance of the man who posed with her. He was Q mere "waif and stray" who probably little suspected that his assumed attitude of prayer was to be thus immortalized.

An Example of Queer MiIitarIsm.

Spain is giving the world just now a curiously complete example of queer militarism. She has 5000 army of fieers, which was about four times too many, even when she still held Cuba and the Philippines. Now. when she has to cut her army down the figure is outrageous. But General Polavieja will not hear of reducing it, and will not even listen to the proposal to re- duce down the number of cadets and so diminish the corps of officers in fu- ture. The plain fact is that the mili- tary gentlemen consider that they have a right to "eat the budget as the Spanish phrase has it, and to provide for their sons in the service. So an establishment equal to Frances is kept up.
