FDrC4TJOy HERE AND ABROAD.

DR. Edward Dwight Eaton. formerly presi-
dent of Beloit College who has been spending
a year abroad, has been making careful study
of the great German universities. As result
of this study he declares that higher education
in the United States is improving much more
rapidly than in Germany. The strength of the
German system of education is its development
of special study and investigation. Germany,
indeed. is pre-eminently the land of specialists
with whom research has become an end in
itself rather than a means to some practical
result. That this devotion to specialism has
added immensely to the sum of knowledge can
not be denied But valuable and necessary
specasm in education is, ii is not without its
dangers. 1t tends to make education alb
stract thing. almost completely divorced from
life and to be pursued first of all for the thrill
of subjective joy that it gives TO the student
who becomes a member of the esoteric band of
illuminate, far removed from the common herd.
While paying full tribute TO the German univer
sites DR.. Eaton does not concede their superior
ity to American universities in all things. His
view this question is contrary to the ira
ditional view that it Is worth quoting:
Her great professors. whether surgeons. chem
lists, theologians. philosophers historians
have still to learn the art of transating for the
student mind the wealth of wisdom with which
they themselves are supplied The German pro-
fessor lacks the personal agnetism and power
to attract his students which is characteristic
of the American college professor
Judging from the experiences related to me
by certain Americans who engaged in post
graduate work in Berlin, advanced education
which so long has been the bulwark of the Ger
man universities, fails to approach at the pres
ent day the similar work that is available at
Harvard. This affords eloquent testimony that
the time Is coming when the cause of most
American students coming abroad will be re-
moved.
In physical equipment the German institutions
are far behind what we know at home. Leipsic
alone of all the great schools has a modernized
plant. The other universities have been con-
tent with Indifferent extensions of their Libraries
and laboratories Student life here also travels
on uncompronisingly traditional lines. An
American is gratifed to observe however, that
the seriousness of purpose, lack of which Euro
peans prone to charge against us on account
of excessive indulgence in detracttng inf1u-
ences like athletics, is found here absolutely in
marked degree than in the United
States On the contrary. there is unifcation
OF student life on the gridirons and diamonds of
American canpuses which amount OF "kom-
H1ers" and sabre duelllng will ever produce.
The truth is that higher education in this
country has made such great strides during the
last few years that Americans themselves do
not know how rapidly we are forging ahead of

Many well known savings banks in the Varl-
Gus boroughs of New-York have found 1t ao-
visable to reduce the of interest on deposits
to 315 per cent but several of the largest 1nstl-

allotments. Our savings banks, almost without
exception, are managed with admirable skill
and sagacity. The depostors who get per cent

themselves.

In celebrated Russian city the cab drivers
have petitioned the municipal authorities to re-
duce the legal rates in the streets. The drivers
say that they cannot make a living in compe-
tition with the tramways under the present
schedules. At some time in the future the own
ers and managers of stables in this city and the
men who solicit custom as they sit up aloft upon
hansoms and other vehicles which ply for hire
will come to the wise conclusion that they will
be prosperous If they. too cut their rates
by at least 80 per cent. Cab fares in New York
are unreasonab bly, high.

A PAROCHIAL SCHOOL
For South Norwalk. What Rev. Fath-

For South Norwalk. What Rev. Fath-
 CT Maher Says.
 A new parochial school for St. Jo- seph's church South Norwalk, is TOW a certainty, but at present it is not known just when it will be started. At any rate, it Is not thought that much will be done towards getting new building this year. Rev. William Ma her, D. D., rector of the church, an elo- quest priest, whose home is New Haven and whose aged mother resides on Nash street. this city stated to a Sentinel re- porter that new school would be erect ed, but he was not in a position to say just when. He said that all that was necessary for beginning were the funds. He does not care to build school on all borrowed money, which would have to be done if one was erect cd at the present time.
 However, he says that it all rests with Bishop Tierney. If the latter says to go ahead and build school the money will be narrowed forthwith and a building will go up in double quick time. There is pressing need of such a building and the bishop may order a school at any time. It might be this year or it might be next spring. At any rate, it is not thought that the matter will be postponed any longer than next spring, for it is strictly un-Catholic to have religion of any description taught

 "It is purely unconstitutional" said
 Rev. MT. Mahep ito have the teach- ings of the Bible in the public schools,
 for the reason that there are all classes
 there. There are the Presbyterians
 Methodists, Catholics, and, in fact, all
 classes. All have a rlghe to their own
 belief, and I say there should be no
 religion taught in the public schools.
 Some would say that, to abandon relig- ion in the schools, most all the children would grow up to be ungodly young men and women.
 This is not so, for I honestly believe that the children can be taught sufff- cently in religious ways on Saturday and Sunday. would do most any thing rather than see the children lose their faith.'
 Rev. MT. Maher was asked relative to the building lot which was purchased the other day in the rear of St. Josephs church. He stated that the lot had no connection with the church whatever, and, anyway, if there was going to be school, he would prefer to not have 1t so close to the church, as it would be very annoying. at times on account of the many children playing around tile grounds.
 No" said he, T have a plot of ground all picked out for a suitable school but don't suppose that 1t would be possible to get 1t, as it will cost too much money. It is the lot on the cor ner of Concord and South Main streets. It is large and just the place for school. There is plenty of room for q large playground and 1t is away from the church. I believe that the owners want between $12,000 and $14,0OO for it. That would be too much for us to pay.
 There is lot that probably might be suitable in the rear of the church. It faces on Chestnut street. It would be away from Che church and still be near it. If some benevolent person would leave me $25O00 would start the preliminary steps to-day, to build a new rectory church spire and 2, rcw school.
 "All 1t needs now is a spire to com plete the church, and then there is a rectory This ie a necessity. The
 
 present house is not fit to live in. The floors are all rotting, and it is very damp. Then again there will have to be an assistant pastor. There should be one now. A rectory will have to be erected suitable for the rector and an assistant.
 II have started fund for the church spire and rectory. A canvass is being made among the parishioners at the time. Envelopes are left with them, and on Sunday, June 2, the day hat the first anniversary of the sol |, smn dedication of the church takes | place, the grand parish collection for 1 he building fund will be taken. If I | lad $5,OOO would not hesitate to give | he contract for school. I would | borrow the rest of the money and I ,uess I could handle it properly. There s an urgent need for new school, for here are over 200 scholars in the Sun lay school. I don't know how many italian and Hungarian children there re in the parish.
