liz peIcepuDle progress In all such enter
prIseS Two steps are necessary. The precise
form which the testimonial should assume must
first be determined. aud then the money for It

has been entertained that an ordinary mouu-
ment would be an Inadequate as well as use
less recognition OF the services of the man whom
they wisL to honor. Instead. they favored the

scientific education and research. After pri-
vate conferences with nearly a score OF repre-
sentative men. the committee now announces
that 1t is confirmed in its original convictions
and wishes. II still remains to be seen whether
the subscriptions will be prompt enough and
generous enough to enable ii to carry out
the plan. lnasmuch as the memorial will be
placed in London, its establishment will prob
ably depend In the main upon British encour-
agement. but the opportunity to participate Is

GERMAN Observation-Disclosures"

A Berlin newspaper has recently been scold-
ing the Germans in the United States for shak-
ing off their nationality and, neglecting to teach
the rising generation the German language.
The "German-A merlcans" are charged with
lack of interest in matters pertaining TO the
Fatherland, and the fact that they become de
nationaIized." the writer says. causes Germans
al home to despise those who come to the
United States and Ito blush with shame be-
cause OF their conduct" The criticism is meant
to be severe, and it must be admitted, to the
great credit of American citizens who emil
grated from Germany, that they have given
cause for it. They are good citizens. they take
a deep interest in the affairs of this country.
and on that account may justly be accused Of
Observation-Disclosures" by their German critics.
AS to the "German-Amer being indiffer-
ent about the language of the Fatherland and
their failure TO teach 1t TO their children, they
are not so blameworthy as their patriotic
brethren in Germany would have them appear.
Many Of them fully appreciate the admirable
qualities OF the language and its literature and
know that their children would profit in many
ways by having q perfect knowledge Of them.
On that account, and because they retain. despite
their standardization. sincere love FIR the
Fatherland and its language. many German
Americans" make strong efforts to induce their
children 10 study German aud to SPEAK it But
it is true that those who would have their chill
dren equipped so that they could appreciate the
works Of the German writers and the Marchen

instances The children will not speak their
parents mother tongue. gradually but surely
German gives way to English in the household,

TIGERS AND GOATS.

For generations the city of William Penn has
been proud of its reputation as the ideal OF
brotherly love- and the Brooklyn Democrats In
their relations with the Fourteenth Street or
eanization, in Manhattan, are evidently not in
clined TO try 10 eclipse the amiabilty of Phila'
delphla. In milennial utopias and elysiums
lambs may lie down with lions, but Will the
tough old goats OF the Kings County McLaugh-
lin Democracy submit TO be devoured by the
Tammany tiger without so much a thrust OF
their horns or a kick of their heels?
Even that much enduring prophet Jonah gave
Leviathan a distressing Indigestion. Ii viii he

BIBLE REQUIREMENTS FOR COLLEGE.


The opening of the college year in this city
has been marked with two interesting utter
ances on the subject of Bible study as a prep
aration for college life. Chancellor MacCracAen.
at the opening of University College Of New
York University declared that better knowl-
edge Of the Bible was one Of the three things
most urgently needed and Dean Van Amrinse.
of Columbia, gave forcble expression to the
same idea. Both speakers had I'm view chiefly
we assume, the promotion of a spirit of rever-
ence and of religion, than which there could
be no higher aim. But that is not after all, the
sole aim. Indeed, In some cases. we might say.
II is not the chief aim, for DIR. MacCracken cited
an instance Of speaker at a Young Mems
Christian Association meeting who d.spayed
lamentabe ignorance OF some OF the salient
features Of Bible history. YET who was doubt
less a reverent and religious man II IS worth
while. therefore To urge fuller Bible stud on
the simple ground that knowledge of that Book
is essential TO anything like good education.
Dr. MacCracken said he had known freshmen
who were unable to tell the name of the village
where Jesus was born. or the names of tho
writers of the New Testament epistles and
cited the case Of one student who smoke Of
Joshua and Caleb as the rebuilders OF the Tenn
pie at Jerusalem. We have no doubt that sucb
are 10 ~ iohhN ~ manly fOiitPfSs Tor or lafH
years there has been marked decline Of Bible
study. and even of Bible reading. i'm most sec
ondary schools and many BOYS of high school
age scorn the idea Of going to Sunday school or
TO church. The result u.s. OF course neglect oY
Bible study. That, as we have said. Is Inn
entabIe thing from the elementary roint Of view
Of secular education: for entirely apart from its
theological and sriritnal significance. the Bible
is of unsurpassed importance as history and rs
literature. A freshman would probably be con-
ditioned, If not rejected. u hs wero so unfam,I-
