Froebel, but there is also another rea-
son why they did not use the same
term with us, and that is, they already
have MATERNAL schools which are in
stitutions of an entirely different charac-
ter. In Brooklyn, Chicago and other
places classes or meetings of mothers
have been instituted. Thousands Of
mothers attend these meetings for the
purpose of learning their duties and how
to perform them better. American ped
agogues have therefore been working to
make the kindergarten less necessary.
They have no intention of dispossessing
the family, and, only invite to school
those children whose parents are over
whelmed with work, or are Of bad hab-

be called children of the street rather

Dorch's attorney threw up the sponge
and took non-suit. This, it is thought,
permanently disposes of the suit in favor
of the society.
During the course Of the trial, the
Woodmen who were called as witnesses
Whlled away the time relating stories OF
thrilling initiation ceremonies they had
taken part in. Tmpressively they told,
with sly winks, more than one Noodmen
secret to the gaping bystanders.

men, 'we shoot the candidate. This

''That liquid they put on you that

another.

sharp point to most of his statements.
Among other things he said Free
speech is so well defended, that it needs
no word from an educational institution.
What l Guestion~is whether free speech
means the right Of professors to teach
anything, anywhere, under any circum-
stances. The presidents of universities
are being called upon to stand godfather
to every unbridled, tongue that finds it's
way into the university. l do not be-
lieve the university should expose itself
to the charge Of participation. The pro-
fessors must devote themselves to prin-
ciples and not to playing to the galleries.
When professors get to advancing mere
opinions they are likely to make fools
of themselves. Every president is wit
ness to the fact that there are men in
the universities who teach a high sound
ing and sentimental twaddle called
science. The conclusion of the whole
matter is that while the utmost free
dom of discussion should be allowed,
merely sensational statements and un-
supported individual opinions should not
be countenanced. There is a strong feel
ing that there are too many conferences
OF teachers, or ratheE of superintendent,
and that in this day, when the means OF
communication are so great, frequent
conferences among educators for COM
parison Of views, are not necessary.
f,eTndpS tnaJ Is, the reason why TINS
meeting was somewhat disappointing.
A FRENCH OPINION.
The American educational exhibit at
the Paris exposition is very ably treat
ed by Gabriel Compare, in the Revue
Pedagoglque of Aug. Is, 1909. This dis
tiHguished writer is well known among
Americans, and is justly regarded as an
educator Of the highest ability, but
writing at a distance of more than 5000
miles it is not strange that he should
make some mistakes. Speaking of the
kindergarten, which he treats at length,
he says: The American kindergarten
has its defects as we'll as it's merits The
most serious is it's superstitious regard
for Froebel. The spirit of Froe-
bel was that of liberty and progress,
while his disciples, in the excess of their
blind worship, too often become creatures
of routine and slaves to an educational
material which they look upon as sa-
cred. What is worthy of unreserved
praise in the American pedagogues is
that their enthusiasm for the kindergar-'
ten does not make them forget that that
establishment should not be substitute
for the family. except in cases where the
family is incapable Of bringing up it's
children itself. They by no means in
tend to have the school antagonize the
home. They preferred the-name kinder

in the same way that Papa TIA did
AS to the merits Of the exhibition pub
lie opinion is divided Not lew pro-
nounce it an unmitigated fraud, while
others claim that there was ne decep-
ton whatever The friends and foes Of
the wonder-worker agree on one point
that on account Of the heavy rain AMI
the partial cooling of the stones the af-
fair was unsatisfactory. Whether an
other performance will take place. under
more favorable conditions, remains to be
seen. But, as It was, the crowd got it's
moneys worth. for such a spectacular
performance was never before seen in

much as nothing beyond this world Is
known, as the PoSitiViStS assert, there is
nothing transcendental that can be wor-
SHIPPED. We are what society has made
us, and il is our duty to lead useful and
perfect lives, dependent alone upon our
selves ana our comrades. But We return
to the question, what is this humanity
to which children are daily given? This
gentleman, with hands as small and
dainty as school girls, who has lived
for so many years in an atmosphere or
refinement and luXury-what does he
know of the humanity into whlcM are
born the vast uneounted majority of
children; of the condition of the great
mass of the common people, swept and
torn by the tempests of time, and burn
ed and consumed by the heat and scoria
of storms of passion and crime? Mr..
Harrison, unlike the Great Master, whom
he also acknowledges, is not and cannot
be heard gladly by the common people"
because he cannot get to them. First, let
him address himself to the means where
by the great mass are to be lifted up to
the plane where his teaching can be I'M
derstood and applied to daily practice,
and he will do the world a yet greater
service.
BISHOP SPALDING.
On the same day that Mr. Harrison de-
liVered his eulogy on Washington" the
bishop of Peoria addressed thousands OF
school children at the Auditorium. How
strong clear and definite are the reign
what positive practical value they pos
sess. THE mind grows by what it is
fed on habitually, day by day, and the
kind of nourishment it assimilates de-
ter1nines it's quality and power. The
proper nouriShment of our spiritual being
is not knowledge or speculative truth. To
get an insight into the character or a
man we wish to learn not what he
knows, but what an inmost soul he be-
lieveS, hopes and strives for-his tastes
and preferences his bearing and beha-
vior, the breadth and depth of his love-
the largeness and fullneSS of his Sympa-
thies his attitude towards the tie I9oral
and eternal. Thus character is primarily
moral; it is what a man is and is the
result of nutrition and growth that can
no wise be formed by mechanical pro-
cesSes. Character is formed by cult1Vat-
ing a taste for what is true, good and
fair; love of justice, honesty and kind
liness for reverence, modesty and couf-
age; a loathing for dirt, physical and
moral, in thought. word and deed; a
scorn OF lies, hypocrisy and cant by NIL
ing the young with profound faith in the
worth and Sacredness of life by helping
them to feel how divine a thing 1t is TO

siasm. is chaste, loving, wise and nope
