The Memory in Children.
JIoa.,ae,.'s IToeII9f

An investigation into the power of memory
in children was recently made by the director
of the department of child-study for the
Chicago public schools. 1t was found, among
other interesting results. that there is no
memory period" no period in early school
life when the memory is stronger than it is at
any later portion of the child's life, period
especially adapted for learning to SPELL.
while there are no memory stages, there are
undoubtedly periods of interest that are es-
pecally favorable for the child's learning to
spell times when the child is aroused from
indifference or from a feeling that spelling is a
small part of life to recognition that it is i'm
portant. 1t has been pointed out that during
early school life the auditory memory is the
stronger, and later that the visual memory is
stronger. During the whole of school life the
audio-visual memory is stronger than either
the auditory or visual; that is. a simultaneous
appeal to both sight and hearing produces a
richer and more disable image than is brought
about by an appeal to either sense alone II
would seem from this that the more senses we
can appeal to, the deeper will be the impress
sion.'

The Land Suits May be Compromised
The Baltimore San of Thursday says Mr.:
Winslow s. Pierce, chairman of the board OF
directors of the Western Maryland and the
West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railroads,
and Mr.. F. s. Landstreet, vce-president, who
came over from New York on Tuesday night,
spent busy day at Hillen Station yesterday
comforting with other officials of the two
roads and working upon matters relating to
the tidewater extension of the Western Mary
land. There is an impression that compro-
mise may soon be reached with the South Bal
timore Land Company for about % acres of
land wanted by the Western Maryland for the
right of way between Westport and Mount
Winans and for a freight yard, and with the
Burns & Russell Company for nearly an acre
needed for right of way. If this is accom-
plished it will end the tedious litigation that
has been going on for some time over what the
railroad company regards as exorbitant prices
demanded for the property and will greatly
facilitate the construction of the line to tide
water.

The New Enterprise at Phenix.-On
Wednesday the new Industrial Association at
Phoenix N. G. r. R., completed arrangements
for the establishment of shirt factory at that
place. Messrs. Henry Miller q Co.. of Balti-
more, leased from Mr.. Wesley A. Royston a
large two-story frame building for manufac-
turing purposes, and it is believed will be in a
position by the 1st of August to employ q large
number of hands. While the closing down
of the cotton mill at Phoenix several months
since necesstated the migration of many of
the inhabitants, a large number have remained,
awaiting developments of the efforts of the
Industrial Association and it is the general
opinion that when the new industry is ready
for operation many of those who have pre-
viously left will return. The proprietors of
the new industry are confident that with the
superior labor obtainable at Phoenix they will
be able to manufacture an article which will
justify them in paying their employees as good,
if not better, wages than they were able to OBJ
tain in the cotton mill. The two stores in the
village are still open, and their business does
not seem to be seriously affected by the dis
continuance of operations of the cotton mills,
there being good country trade in that vi
cipity,
