education that is a return to the spirit and
ideals of the splendid native art. With
two Japanese representatives, he visited
methods of education. On their return,
Mr.. Fenollosa took up the task Of estab-
fishing system that should embody all
that belongs to universal art and all that
is meritorious in the distinctly japanese
art. He was the organizer of the art
department of the Imperial Museum and
manager of the Japanese Fine Arts acad-
envy. for which he planned new course Of
study. based upon experiments with an
association Of Japanese artists.
In addition to outlining the methods Of
art education in Japan Mr.. Fenollosa gave
a short account of the introduction of Jap
anese art ideas into American art educa-
ton, In which the collection Of Japanese
paintings, prints and art objects at the
Boston Art Museum have had much tnf1u-
ence.

pie are planning to attend

lures to be delivered next year.

A Classification Question.

The senator's who went to Faribault to
inspect the state schools for the deaf and
dumb and for the blind, with a view to
informing themselves as to whether they
are properly to be classified as charitable
or as educational institutions, seem to
have come away leaning toward the edu-
cational classification, though they We're
prejudiced in favor OF the other.
II the question as to proper classifica-
ton stood by itself, there could be no
doubt that the senators are. right. The
educational work Of the schools mentioned
is their main work, and the care and
housing of the, pupils is secondary to it.
They are essentially different, however,
from the normal schools, in that the state
houses and provides for the pupils, just
as it does for the inmates Of prisons or
asylums. The board of control s. work is
to look after what may be called the
states housekeeping, that is to say,@,it it's
management of the public institutions that
are in authority over the daily lives OF An
mates and provide for their wants some
what as a father provides for his family.
That relation the state certainty mas 10 IHe

It is possible that the educational side
of, these schools so far overshadows the
incidental housekeeping that they should

NORTHERN NORWAY SUFFERS
Only Half a Crop and the Fish Are Also
Gone,

Northern Norway-that is to say the
counties north of Trondhjen1-wiu
soon be compelled to call upon the gov
ernment and possibly the charitably in
'clined people for aid. The backward sea-
son and the early frosts have caused great
damage to the crops and while these have
not been entirely ruined as in Norrland
and Finland, many farmers harvested only
half crop. AS ordinarily full crop is
barely enough to sustain life, it is plain
that suffering and privation must neces-
sarily follow. On top of this misfortune.
another plague has appeared in the form
Of great droves of seal. "Russekobben,"
as they are called. They have literally
driven all the fish from the coast. From
North Cape down to Throndhjem there
are no fish to be had in the fjords OF
Finmarken, Tromsoe and Nordland. AS
the people subsist largely on fish in these
parts, they are wholly helpless under
their double affliction.

Silver; Nations Appeal.

:: The president semitic congress, yester-
day, notes from the Mexican and Chinese
governments asking the corporation Of
our government in an effort to maintain
a. fixed relationship between gold and Sill
YER values and for the benefit OF trade,
prevent the great fluctuations in exchange
which handicap business. The com1npn1-
cation of the president was accompanied
by an explanation from Secretary Hay,
who suggests that it is not proposed to
raise again the subject of international
binetllism and the free coinage OF silver.
The heavy decline Of silver seriously
affects the purchasing power Of the two
silver using countries, Mexico and China,
the latter buying about 2oo,ooO,00o In
foreign goods annually. The Mexican
government, likewise affected by the 20
to rs per cent decline Of silver has been
seriously contemplating the change to the
gold standard, the, problem being now to
obtain the amount of gold necessary to
put the currency on gold basis: There
are people like Bryan who advise the
Mexican government to continue the free
coinage of silver and increase the rate o.
exchange and embarrassment Of business
Neither bimetal1ism nor free coinage Of
silver will be entertained by the grea'
commercial nations Of the world: This
country began it's career as federal re-
public under bimetallism and was by 1922
denuded Of gold The ratio was changed
in 1884 to bring gold back and IN prac
tice we had the single gold standard
while bimeta11isna remained on the statute
| books. Since then, we have had the per

The Senate and Trusts.

The senate committee on commerce is
in favor Of adding bureau of corpora
tions to the proposed new department of
commerce, but is opposed to putting the
interstate commerce commission in the
department. The committee prefers to
leave the commission independent, it
now is because it's reports are intended
to influence or suggest legislation"
We fail to see why it's reports cannot
still continue to influence or suggest legis-
lation if the commission is added to the
bureau. Are we to infer that the sena-
tors do not expect the bureau Of cor
poratons to suggest or influence legisla-
ton? Some Of them would, doubtless,
like to make the proposed bureau as USE
less as possible T.. '.' "''1
.yOn the other hand, there is a suspicion
that by leaving the interstate commerce
commission out of the department the
senators wish to avoid making 1t too sure
that the results of it's Investigations will
be made matter Of vigorous prosecution
by the attorney general.
We think there is reason to suspect
that the senatorial. game is to leave the
interstate commerce commission in an
Isolated condition, where it will not do
anything more to correct. the evils of
transportation than it has done hereto
fore. Then, having established a bureau
Of corporations, with authority to in
quire, but no authority to act, the SEN
ate will extend itself a vote of thanks
for its able antitrust legislation, smile
icomplacent1y at the country and go home
to congratulate the trusts on getting off
so easily. 49,
If the bureau Of corporations is to be
PUT in the department of commerce, so
as to establish a close relation between
its Investigations and the execution of
the law, the interstate commerce COM
mission should be there for the same reaL-
son. 1t may not even be wise to divide
the trusts irito two classes, the railways
and the others, But II such division
of authority be made it is certainly un-
wise to further separate them by making
one sort Of annex to congress and the
other a part of the executive. When con-
gress gets through making, laws on the
trust question the actual work of curb
ing them, whether transportation or pure.

and he should have the reins we'll in

dent who is willing and eager to use thu
authority Of his office to it's utmost limits
All that is required of congress is to give
him the authority and the machinery t,

If congress gives him poor machinery
the people will know where to place tn
