Averting a Panic.

On one occasion John Philip
Sousa by his promptness was the
direct means of stopping panic
which might have had the most
disastrous results. While his band
was playing before $4,000 people
in st. Louis the electric lights in
the hall suddenly went out. Peo-
pie began moving uneasily in their
seats, and some even began to
make rush for the doors. Coolly
tapping with his baton, Sousa gave
a signal, and Immediately his band
began playing, "Oh. Dear, What
Can the Matter Be?" A tiny rip
pie of laughter that went around
the audience showed that conf
dence had partially been restored
When the band began to play
"Wait Till the Clouds Roll By"
the laughter deepened into a roar
of merriment that only ended
when the lights were turned on
again.

conclude from this very fact that it is contrary to

considered fad and received with apprehension.

OF THE raany novel and intelligent features that
have been introduced into the public schools within
the past few years, perhaps the most commendable
is the savings bank system of the New Jersey schools
This innovation has met with remarkable success,
and according to writer in one Of the current
magazines the pupils of the New Jersey schools have
nearly million dollars on deposit in these banks
The total school enrolment of the state is 1926 OOO
and of this number $4,000 children patronize the
school savings banks The children are not obliged
to deal with the banks of course, but they are en-
couraged to cultivate thrifty habits. The teachers
