Defects in rIodern Education.

Leading educators of the country have been emphatic recently in point ing out some of the defects in our modern educational system, but the greatest credit belongs to the news papers for ridiculing the numerous fads which have found such ready accept ance with many school authorities.
 The latest complaint comes from President Schurman of Cornell uni versity, who is reported by the Phila- delphia Record as saying that we pro- duce no such great men as the past has known; that there is no promise, outside the business field, of success ors to the conspicuous figures who recently passed or are now passing from the scenes. While he does not attempt to account for the failure of modern education to produce greater men than were turned out by the old ungraded district schools, with theIr ftful attendance and with teachers who had never acquired the art of teaching in a normal school-temporary teachers who taught as a mere bread and-butter expedient while fighting their way into the professions-he places a doubtful hope on the future university. President Eliot of liar ward recognizes the failure to develop intellectual giants, but only suggests a

worth of her products. The trade be tween the countries very nearly bal ances. which fact is in direct contrast | with the export and import totals oi | other contiguous territory with which the United States is the largest dealer There is every reason to believe that the present trade with Mexico will b. greatly increased during the next few years. Quick rail communication. and the presence of large American inter- ests in Mexico are the principal causes of the rapid gains which the United States is making over her rivals in the trade of Mexico. over 5000 miles of railroad are now in operation in Mex leo, bringing all parts of that country into direct communication with the United States, and according to T recent statement furnished to the state department by the United States consul general in Mexico. fully $iOO,OOO, GOO of Capial from the United States is in- vested in that country, and many citi- zens of the United States are located temporarily or otherwise in Mexico Mexico is the one country south of the United States to which our exports show an appreciable growth. To the Central American states our exports in 1890 were $5, 5,296,47S, and in 1902, s6.- 22,6S5; to South America our exports in 1890 were $3S,7 ,64s. in 1902, $3S.- 043,617; to the West Indies our exports in 1880 were s33, ,197, ,222 in 1902, S4S,632, 951; while to Mexico our exports in 1890 were $13.2S5.2 in 1902 s39, ,S73, ,6O6 and in the calendar year 1903 will be over forty million dollars.
 The most important of our exports to Mexico are manufactures of iron and steel. machinery, unmanufactured cot ton. lumber, manufactured wood, man. ufactures of cotton, and gunpowder. Our imports from Mexico are chiefly textile grasses. especially sisal, coffee. hides. cattle, lead. copper and tobacco; and in addition to these there are large quantities of silver in ore and consid7 crable gold which are not included In the figures of imports of merchandise. Mexico, if present indications count for anything, will develop her manufacture ing resources enormously within the next decade. She has the raw ma terials in abundance, and capital is already interested in number of projects fer the conversion of these materials into finished product. Once she places her currency on a stable basis. capital will flow into the country in greater volume than ever.

Rich Men Considering the Sick.

As finally made up, the list of gifts and bequests made in 1902 by men of wealth for the direct or indirect benefit of the sick reaches a magnificent total.
 First in size, of course, comes the bequest of w. s. Stratton, the Cripple Creek miner, who left the bulk of his estate, estimated at not less than ten millions of dollars, for a home for invalids. Next in magnitude is the four million dollar gift of John M. Burke to found a home for convales- cents. This is to provide a shelter for poor persons who are not i'll enough to remain in hospital, but have nowhere to go. An estate now valued at four million dollars, left in trust in 1877 by Peter P Brigham of Boston, for the hospitals of that city. became available fast year. A large proportion of the years gifts were for medical work and the relief of the sick and afflicted. Peter A. B. Widener of Philadelphia gave two millions for school for crip- pied children. An anonymous resident of New York offered $600,000 for the esta blishment of a free clinic for the treatment of consumptives in Philadel- phia. MT. and Mrs. Harold McCor- mick of Chicago endowed an institute for the treatment of infectious diseases with a million dollars. Harvard uni versity received a quarter of a million dollars from Mrs. Collis P. Huntington for a laboratory of pathology and bacteriology and $10O.OOO for a hospi- tai for the treatment of cancer and allied diseases. James Stillman gave Harvard $1OO,OOO for a chair of ana tony, and Ellen O. Proctor gave the same institution s5O,OOO to promote the study of chronic diseases. Harvard also received a million dollars from John D. Rockefeller for it's medical school.
 The benevolences of this sort were so numerous that they should have an appreciable effect in checking the prog ress of disease as well as in relieving suffering.

Importance of Our Trade With Mexico

Should the Mexican authorities fail to confne the bubonic plague to Mag atlan the ultimate effect would be, of course, the enforcement of quarantine regulations and a serious disturbance of commerce between that country and the United States. What it would mean to have this business suspended may be gathered from a glance at the figures recently compiled by the gov ernment.
 The exports of the United States to Mexico for last year were over forty millions of dollars. In 1891 the total was about fifteen millions, and ten years previous not over eight millions A four hundred per cent gain, there fore has been made in a period of twenty-one years. Imports from Mex leo to the United States show core spending gains. In 1902 our sister re- public sold us forty-one million dollars

arge expenditure of money for educa-

large expenditure of money for educa- tion
 It would be absurd to attempt to ex- plain any such failure by a single cause. Doubtless the fact that such teachers as Daniel Webster the Beech CTS. and the long list of other notable characters who spent a few years each at the desk. could pay some attention to the individual requirements of their pupils was a great advantage which the pupil of today must forego. With a class of sixty or more the present day teacher can have no time for the individual. Perhaps. too, the normal school system. which aims at uniform ity of method. impairs the qualities of teachers of strong personality. The making of a fetich of department. of discipline. has been rated by an occa- sional observer as vicious-as placing the child in a strained, unnatural con- dition. Encouraging results are said to have followed the experiment in
  an unparalleled measure of freedom of voice and movement in the school room. A more serious matter is the attempt to accomplish too much. At this time of the school year observing parents begin to see the effects of overstudy in the case of the more deli cate children, and they make their protests to the newspapers against the requirement of home study. From the age of six years, at which infants are admitted to the public schools, and. indeed. are compelled by law to go. the children are required in most places to study lessons at home during the hours when they should be free to ac- quire "the education of circumstances % which Wordsworth counted so i'm portant. The complaints of some in tellisent parents show that this extra school study is enough to stunt the mental growth of the sturdiest child.
 Virtually all who can speak on this subject with authority condemn any iOIlIc Sluuy TOT StiloOt CIlluTSn. OD- serving physicians, particularly physi- ologists and nerve specialists, cry for less school work. The men who control in this matter are not, as a rule. com petent to determine what pressure the young brain can endure without per manent injury. They often have the idea that the capacity for acquisition is unlimited and that the reluctance to study which is the sign of fatigue should be overcome by force. It is monstrous that minds should be dwarfed by the institution established for their development. The appeals of distracted parents for fewer studies are often ignored by the school au- thorities. with whom the investiga tiors and conclusions of scientific observers have too little influence

The Crowded Cities.

One bit of news that comes from Lon don is not of a cheering character. It Is related that the streets are filled with idle men locking for work that cannot be had, and that the warehouses are
 filled to overfiOwing. To add to the gravity of the situation country bred folk" and "alien" immigrants are pour ing into the city. The English states men are becoming concerned in respect to this situation. and there is. a desire to discover some scheme by which the surplus of ordinary workers can be dis tributed among the colonies of the En- glish government. More than one-halr of the English immigrants last year came to the United States, but the Can adian farmers have sought in vain TO encourage men to go to the dominion to work on land and to be guaranteed q living.
 The trouble in London is the same as in other considerable cities. They become congested through the influx of laborers and unskilled workers and the HdluTdl result IOllOWS. 1ne last cen sus of. this country, for instance, re- vealed that the drift was yet toward the cities. and that the rural districts were losing their populations. Just why the average man should prefer to struggle and starve in a city when a living can be had elsewhere is hard to understand. But it is a fact, and today , in the west the great need of the farm | CTS is able-bodied men who are willing to work and continue at it regularly. | There are today hundreds of western farms crippled because of the inability to secure laborers. The offer of steady work and an assured living is not | tempting, while the streets of the great | cities are crowded with men who live ! from hand to mouth. Living in the | west is cheaper than it is in the cities, and in most instances a farm hand can { secure his food in addition to his wages '
 London is congested, and the excess of idle men has created a national proo- < lem of a most serious character. Tn spite of the prosperity in this country there are to be found in all great cities here just the same state of affairs-but

in q lesser degree-and no temptation can be offered to the idle ones to leave for homes elsewhere. even with the guarantee of wages and a living.

Few poets had more admirers among
women than Whittier had, and this adj
miration frequently took personal form.
One day his sister, in her slow, Quaker
fashion, was describing these erup-
tons. "Thee hast no idea" she said,
"of the time Greenleaf spends in trying
to lose these people on the streets.
Sometimes he comes home and says,
We'll, sister, l had hard work to lose
him. but 1 have lost him." To this
Whittier pathetically added, But 1 can
never lose a her.

grand parade of all winners and
first came Mrs. CaZier on the
sorrel steel, then the band play

ance of the procession which was
nearly a quarter of a mile in

and the others who were win

the way, those cow boys in their
efforts to throw and tie a NAV

The idea of an onion cure may moi
strike the fancy of the aesthetic. How.
ever, the experience of those who have
tried 1t is that 1t works wonders in re.
storing a racked system to its normal
-~M N. There are three kinds of
onion cure, or three onion
cures. as you choose to put it. One is a
diet Of onions, the other is onion pIas-
tiers and the third is onion strip.
1t is claimed by those who believe in
the onion cure that a bad cold can be
broken up if the patient will stay in
doors n feed on a liberal diet Of
onions. 1t need not be an exclusive
diet, but a liberal one. For instance.
al onion cure breakfast includes a
poached egg IN toast. three tablespoon
fuls of fried onions and a cup of coffee.
Luncheon of sandwiches, made of Bos-
ton brown bread, buttered and filled
with finely chopped raw onions, sea-
soned with salt and pepper, makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
pei the onions may be fried as for
breakfast and eaten with a chop and q
baked potato.
AhC obIuhSC CAASdCy VI OhlUlS Is well
known to the singers of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to i'm
prove the quality of their voices and
keep them smooth. Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs.
They are made of fried onions placed
between two pieces Of old muslin. The
plaster is kept quite hot until the pa
tent is snugly in bed, when it is placed
on the chest to stay overnight. Onion
strip is a dose that can be bought of
any druggist and is claimed by some to
be unequaled as a cure for a cold in the
chest.
All this is probably quite true. For
to be done up with onions, both inside
and out, would be enough certainly tc
chase out any self respecting cold
