tive way a widespread revolt against perfunctoriness in teaching. mere cram ming with assorted facts" It is not the mere addition of certain studies to a curriculum. but the inspiration of a new point of view in education. More than any other recent movement. it will touch the masses with new edu- cational impulse. This timely book by Professor Bailey will tend toward cor Tecting the scope of the nature study now being introduced in the schools. Teachers and the problems that arise in their work are evidently kept in mind, but others may read with profit these notes on a kind of object teach ing that educators from ancient times down have commended. The following passage fairly represents Professor Batley's point of view: Nature study is the pedagogical term. not scienti- flc term. It is not synonymous with the old term natural history nor with biology nor with elementary science It is not popular science It Is not the study of nature merely. Nature may be studied with either of two objects: NO Nl0SOhEA IlcN U uLIl HUI lAAE Phl PtssG of increasing the sum of human knowl- edge; or to put the pupil in sympa- thetic attitude toward nature for the purpose of increasing the joy of living. The first object, whether pursued in a technical or elementary way is a sci- ence teaching movement, and its pro- fessed purpose is to make investigators and specialists. The second object is nature study movement, and it's pur- pose is to enable every person to live a richer life. whatever his business or profession may be. Nature study is 8 revolt from the teaching of mere sci ence in the elementary grades. In teaching practice, the work and the methods of the two intergrade, to be sure, and as the high school and col Iege are approached, nature study passes into science teaching, or gives way to it. but the ideals are distinct they should be contrasted rather than compared.
 Nature study is not science. It is not knowledge. It is not facts. It is spirit. It is concerned with the childs outlook on the world.''

 in the new book she sends her dark lit tie French sons, Renaud, Armand and Andre, to her dear old friend Hugh to be Anglicized. There is where Hugh's
 busy days and nights begin. The story is a delightful one. Those little French lads of Elizabeth are simply charming little fellows and lovers of children will find them so. They capture the read CTS sympathies and interest and their doings, their pranks, their bright say ings and mischievousness make them ola form the background for the story, in terwoven in which is a delicate and charming love story which turns out very happily. The refined and beauti full Miss Beresford is capitally drawn, realistic character. as is that also of Hugh, her lover, whose devotion is at last rewarded. Quite a number of so- ciety people figure in the development
 of the clever story, which by the way, ! has no relation to the other Elizabeths

"The Spells of Empire" is thrilling romance of the old world and the new, by Francis Newton Thorpe, author of "The Constitutional History of the United States etc. The wondrous splendor and power of the old empire of Mexico in the time of MonteZuma, it's priestcraft and sacrificial offerings and superstitions, together with a glimpse of the Spanish greed for power and especially for gold, and of the Spanish inquisition, form the back ground for this intensely interesting book. But the motif of the story Is the passion of Juan Estoval, brave, in trepid and handsome young follower of Cortez. for the beautiful and gifted Az tee princess, Dorothea, daughter of'the unfortunate Montezuma. The opening chapter gives a most spirited descrip- tion of the profound agitation of Mon tezuma and his people over the coming of the Spanish invaders, the interrup- tion of idolatrous rites by saintly shipwrecked priest of the Romish church and his proclamation before all af the true God followed by his being put to death at the instance of the in- censed priests of Montezuma, The conquest of Mexico by the adventurous Spaniards is vividly described and throughout the book is evidenced most careful and thorough study of all the historical features incidental to the development of the story. The wooing by Juan Estoval of the princess forms tender charming love story. In style and strength the book takes high rank among the historical romances of the day.

"rhe Archery of Samara," by Hen " IlloWizi; published by Henry T. Coates & Company, Philadelphia. This is a semi-hlstorical romance of Russian life, and particularly deals with the persecution of the Jews in that coun- try. The author was an eye witness of most of the incidents narrated. In the midst of the torments endured by thousands of youthful martyrs to liber- ty the author has lived and suffered, and therefore is thoroughly competent to give a full description of the condi- tions as they existed. He has seen
 his father knocked down by the blow of a Cossack's whip and his mothers home devastated by the tax-collector. The terrible treatment of the Poles during their last revolt is burned in his memory. The chained recruit, accom- panied by his lamenting mother; the etape, ragged, wretched, covered with vermin and footsore; the serf male and female, and the soldier, fiogged in the
 open market-place; the policeman cuff fing and striking man and woman; the village church profusely decorated with grotesque paintings of Heaven and

 mons; the filthy home of the serf.

 ist the fanatic outburst, the supersti-
 tious dread of demons, these and many
 other experiences of a youth spent un-
 der the rule of Nicholas I. and Alexan-
 der II. are faithfully depicted ill this
 book"
 The chief figure of the book is Isiah,
 the High Priest of city on the banks of the Volga. The Archery, the high est church dignitary of his province, is devout Jew at heart, but is leading a
 double life as forced convert to the Russian church. Isiah as a lad was
 precocious and astonished his friends by his knowledge of the Talmud and by his eloquence. Suffering many cruel
 ties at the hands of the Russians and
 boiling with indignation at the perse- cutions heaped upon him and his race,
 the young Jew, impelled by the advice and counsel of Russian scholar high in office who secretly admires the
 youths abilities and fortitude In suffer- ing, becomes a convert to the Russian church in order that he may in the high church position conferred upon him, serve his race and people by preaching the brotherhood of man. In heart he is still of the Jewish faith and the hardest burden he bears for thirty years is the scorn in which he is re- garded by his family and friends and the young woman to whom he was be- trothed-they regarding him as a ren- egade to the Jewish religion. The book is strong one, with powerful descrip- tive passages, and in view of the re-

the effect it will have on the naviga-

government should thoroughly IN

itself accordingly. The thousands
of people along the st. Johns can
not afford to lose the river for trans

Election of High School Teachers.

At meeting Of the Manchester
Board of Education Monday evening
it was decided to tender Miss Amy
Boggs the superintendency Of the
High School here. Miss Alma lie
Roy was elected principal, and Miss
Maud Graham will fill the position
made vacant by the resignation of
Miss Bowen.
Miss Boggs is so successful a
teacher and so thorough in her work
it is timely that we congratulate the
Board upon the wisdom Of their
choice. Should she accept the posi-
ton offered, she will most surely
meet the requirements not only of the
school fathers and pupils but also Of
the other patrons ofthe High School.
Miss Leroy most acceptably filled
the position of principal during
19OO-1, and her reelection is proof
Of her ability. She is choice that
merits the confidence Of all who wish
to see the standard of work in the
Manchester High School kept to its
present high mark.
Miss Graham has very successfully
taught for the past two years and
will take this place prolfered her
with the recommendation of a third
reelection to her former position. 1t
is to be hoped that her home town
may keep her.

Decent Men in Politics.

Ina recent address to Dubuque

city not toallow the liquor traffic te
influence their political actions. He
said: Because / love God and hu.
manity hate the drink habit. 1t is
degrading to humanity and robbing
them Of their man-hood, and because
I love my fellow men, I hate the
drink habit. Drink is corrupting
and degrading our municipal poll
tics. 1t has controlled the primaries.
1t has made men vote for men who
are put in office byits influence. 1t
has such hold on our municipal
affairs that decent men feel that they
must keep out Of politics. Decent
men should go in and clean the
stables, and because 1 love Dubuque
I shall never cease to say that no
man shall ever hold office who will
bow down to the liquor traffic. 1t is
only a year and see what change
has been wrought in this city. Why
notmake the change double? am

you men to do your duty"
