Novel Institution In Germany W hirh
IL PROV ins success.


. Professor l.Mgel OF Sekin@en has
opened Il SPARTAN >rho for boys. says
a dispatch from Berlin to the Chicago
later Ocean. His pupils wear loose
flannel jackets without sleeves. tight
ened ut the waist with IA leather GiiuIe;
hanneI trousers and sandals without
socks That is all The food is the
simplest pnssihle--hiscuits. lean meat
and vegetubles--anu that in very mod
elate quantities.
No boy is allowed to be idle for n
moment. If his studies are ended. he
must begin another sort of work. If it
is only cleaning windows. Absolute
cleanliness is enforced. The boys are
constantly washing. swimming. scrub
bling their bodies or securing their
clothes.
In summer the boys rise ut $50
O'clock and in winter at 8 O'Clock The
greater part of the time they speih in
the open air, and most of their lessons
are prepared out Of doors. Sickness
is practically unknown. The lads are
encouraged to bear pain of all sorts,
although cruelty is forbidden.
The success of the eSta biiShment la
been SO great that Professor Ringe in
tends TO open Il girls schoolr ON on
the same lines. His idea about girls,
however. is that they are not to be
taught as scholars, but to become good
houSekeeperS. The less woman

Professor lijnyei. the better.
