INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.

industrial training in our public schools must be met
Children content with reading and thinking

There doubt whatever that many pupils and especially
boys get distae for school, and leave it they
find work to do and before they have

combination of head-wok with hand effected is
of the educational problems that has been very satisfactorily
solved by goody number of public schools of less etenou

PRACTICAL FEATURES.

Not little has been said of the nefcency school gadu
ates to make practical application of their mental acquire
mens in the business world in other words that much
school work has but little practical relation the
every day life While there is truth in such criticism yet
such conditions do not always arise from defective
study, but from defective teaching
Recognizing this fact it is purpose the management
of schools to know that all pupils when they leave
shall have been taught how study to ap
ply their knowledge Thus equipped and with fair
ledge Of the practical things of life boys and girls will
front rank wherever they may be placed

Book BY Worthy Writer.

Miss Cora NJ. Macdonald, who for
several years was professor of English

pertinent in the University of Wyo.
ming, has been engaged for a number
Of years in giving lectures on English
literature in many of the western
cities. Since leaving here, she has de
voted a great deal of time to the study
of Browning's poetry, and to the best
method of interpreting the poets
works to popular audiences.
AS the first fruit of her investigation
and experience. she has just published
a study of Browning's Soul" T. on
sists of a reprint of the entire poem,
together with commentaries, analyses
and full explanatory notes.
She has made plain all the points
that offer any difficulties to the ordi-
nary reader. and has called attention
to especial points of excellence and to
moral lessons that are apt to be I've
looked.
Numerous parallel quotations from
other poets and comparisons with the
treatment of the same themes by 9TH

the work. The book is well adapted
to either private reading or class study.

IN THE WEB"
All MANAGER IQNIGH1

Mr.. Joseph lie Brandt's great four
act drama, Caught in the Web" will
be seer for the first time at the Man
ager tonight.
The play is said to be a happy com
bination of pathos and humor. The
comedy element is introduced in a
natural ann to brighten the dark,
seamy side OF life as it is lived in New
York-that beehive of hustling, bustling
humanity, all intent upon the pursuit
OF dark narrow alleys of vice and crime.
Each side is shown in this magnificent
play, and a great moral lesson is
taught. Both the play and company
have met with the most pronounced
success everywhere. The lavish nan
ner in which the piece is presented.
the superb company, the five gorgeous
sets of scenery and the magnificent
costumes has been the talk of every
city in which Caught in the Web" has
been seen.
