States in the Union that began with the
same letter These States, however, were
soon exhausted and the god-parents of the
newer steamships turned to Indian nomen-
clature beginning also with the widest let
ter in the alphabet. The result is that
every vessel of the Atlantic Transport
fleet. now grown to something over twenty
liners, has the same initial. The largest
ships of the line. the 13,0OO-ton monster now
in service between New York and London,
have names that begin moreover with the
same syllable: Minnehaha, Minnetonka,
Minneapolis-wherein one might say that
the Atlantic Transport people had poached
a little on the preserves of the American
company did not both initial and syllable
give them a good lighting claim to Mime
apolis-and several others
The Red Star line, another OF the great
Atlantic companies that has lately combined
with the White Star, American, Dominion
and Leyland to form the International Mer-
camille Marine Company, has also its dis
tinctive final syllable. One Of the earlier
Red Star ships, then sailing under the
Belgian flag, was the Belgenland. The
Noordand and Westernland continued the
use of the distinctive final syllable land"
which finds it's latest examples in two
American built vessels. Finland and Kroon-
land In the international Navigation Com
pany, which formerly controlled the Red
Star and American lines, there is another
group of vessels that suggest comparison
with the Dominion line already mentioned.
The names of this group are names Of SUBJ
urbs of London or Philadelphia, and they
may be recognized by this relation in much
the same fashion as the Dominion liner may
be known by a name suggestive of either
New England or Canada.
In the nomenclature of the half hundred
vessels of the Leyland line there is inva-
riably final "an'' and more often a final
IAN" The Canadian, Devonian, Winifred-
ian and Californian are examples of the
more numerous class; the jamaican and
Texan OF the other. So closely are the sys-
TENS of steamship nomenclature followed
out nowadays that within two months the
Leyland line renamed two of it's best
known craft, the Pinemore and the Chi
cago, calling them the Oxonian and the
Etonian that they might bear the family
strawberry mark"
1t is not difficult to go through the list
of 40 odd ships of the International Mer-
camille Marine for example, and assign
each to the subsidiary company to which it
belongs. The Georgian thus stands imme-
diately revealed as Leyland steamer; the
Celtic. Cedric or Cymric and the four big
liners to be transferred from the Dominion
feet as ships Of the White Star; Menomi-
nee. Marquette, Mackinaw or Mississippi
as Atlantic transport vessels; or the Fries
land or iceland as Red Star liners. Once
the method of naming the vessels of a
given line has been Started it is rigidly ad-
hered to by the owners. and the great
transatlantic steamship companies are as
unlikely to change their respective systems
as they are to change their flags, the colors
Of their smOkestacks or the familiar cut of
their official uniforms

White Star line was formed it was named
probably in recognition of the fact that it's
steamers were to ply on any ocean, and
the first few of it's ships were called nat
urally enough, the Pacific, the Baltic and
the Adriatic. in honor of the oceans, and
the Republic. in honor of the United States
the latter appellation now, in the case Of
the newest Atlantic liner, to be substituted
for Columbus with particular propriety.
without any special intention on the part
OF the company, the four names estab-
lished a precedent, and in seeking a fifth
title the final syllable of the first four
were Joined to the word Celt and the
naming of the new vessel paid honor to the
inhabitants of early Britain. Since the
christening of the first Collector there is
now a second Celtic that floats among the
very largest Of the modern passenger
steamships-every vessel of the White Star
line has been given a title ending in that
one clicking little syllable. so that wherever
you see liner or a cargo steamship with
a name ending in &c you may recognize
1t as belonging to that particular division
OF the international Mercantile Marine.
DISTINCTIVE NAMES GIVEN.
Every one of the conspicuous ocean steam
ship lines has the habit of naming its ves-
sells in a similarly distinctive fashion. The
American line, for example, follows the
custom Of naming its ships in honor of the
larger American cities. as in the case of the
st. Paul and st. Louis-which have now re-
sumed peaceful navigation after their more
exciting service in the Spanish war under
the names of the two Oldest American uni
versities-the New York and the Philadel-
phia, the last a vessel that will long be
famous for its part in the development of
wireless telegraphy. The Inman line. which
was the predecessor of the American, fol-
lowed a somewhat similar policy, except
that 1t named its ships for important cities
on both sides Of the water. And the Cunard-
ers like the White Star liners are recogniza-

suggesting certain similarity between a
family of steamships and family OF HUI
mans. The ships of the Dominion line,
which began its service from Liverpool to
Boston at comparatively recent date, hav-
ing been previously engaged mainly in trade
with Canadian ports and with New Orleans
the field in which it will continue when it
gives over its Boston services next month
have at first glance much less similarity
than either the White Star or American
liners. These vessels-the Canada, New
England, Mayfower, Commonwealth and
others-had. however an obvious similarity
to each other that made them almost as i'm

EDUCATION THAT EDUcATEs.
Practical Tests Better than Mere
Memorizinu in Schools.

Practical Tests Better than Mere
Memorizing in Schools.
Educators are growing fonder and
and fonder of the idea of making edu-
cation practical. In Brooklyn new
plan has been adopted for examina-
lions for graduation from high
schools, and students standing is
based more largely on class work
through the year and less on the re-
suit of closing tests. Each principal
conducts examinations at his own dis
erection, but the emphasis is thrown
upon practical ability instead of on the
mere accumulation of facts. The class
work will be made to turn on the
power to think rather than to memoir
ize. The Brooklyn Eagle" says:
s'For instance, in languages, the ex-
aminations will be designed to test the
pupils power to read at sight and to
translate into idiomatic English. In
English literature a knowledge of the
history of literature and good taste in
reading will be counted rather than
knowledge Of any text book. In Eng
lish composition the test will be the
ability to make clear synopsis OF a
composition, and to write clearly and
accurately, while the long-despised
and neglected spelling will be counted.
In science the number of experiments
performed and the students skill,
neatness and accuracy in performing
them will hold first place, and in his
tory the knowledge Of the sequence
of important events and ability to
trace causes to results will be tested
by the examinations"
Everywhere there is reaction from
the craze for bigness, and quality"
not quantity" is again becoming the
desideratum. Nowhere is this change
more important and more hopeful
than in the field of education. In trav-
cling through life only such baggage
is desirable as can be utilized for the
needs of the journey.
