no longer being procurable for deser-
ton, drunkenness, cruelty and other
offenses against the marital relation
for which divorce formerly might
be secured. There is also a consid-
cradle change made in the practice
before justices of the peace, the city
being divided into ten districts with
one salaried justice in each distict,
in place of the former feed officers,
whose locations were not to any con-
siderable extent governed by geo.

In his statement Judge Thomson
says: "The old judges will refuse to

the public schools, held here yestsr-
day, Mary II. Hunt, worlds and Ms

was not in accord with the latest
scientific knowledge. After naming
the authors of the various books used
in the schools, she said: "Prof.
Atwater, who criticises them, is not
a specialist in these fields. but \
chemist. A geographer would hesl-
tate to pronounce wholesale denun-

way to criticise as inaccurate the
work of these psychologists and pa

were published scientific experts
