THE DECLINE OF LATIN.
Study Not So Closely Pursued and

Dispensable.

In the day of its pedagogical
glory Latin WAS the universal
tongue of the learned. But how
changed all this is now! Stats
teal studies show that five
hours a week for a year gives com
mand of but a few hundred words,
that two years does not double
this number, and that command OF
the language and its resources in
the original is almost never at

not only by the increasing per
centage that do not 90 to college,
but also by the increasing per
centage who drop it forever at the
college door, says an extract from
Adolescence by &. Stanley
Hall.
Its enormous numerical in
crease due to high school require
ments (has) been attended,
perhaps inevitably, by steady
pedagogic decline despite the
vaunted new methods, until now

Never was there worse confu-

fact that the two Strausses are
quite intimate with one another,
and when the tone poetis cOngrat-

ant afternoon, and their four foot
ed friends came from far and near
to witness the performance. The
game was that the badger, roar
ing and shaking his head like a
wild boar, should charge upon the
dog and strike him in the side with
his head; the dog, leaping dex-
teriouslr entirely over the badger,
awaited a second and third at
tack, and tEen made the badger

STATUE is LITTLE TO POET
Actors May Give Better Tribute to
Shakespeare by Reciting His
Works Well.

The actors, who show little re-
spect TO the poets text. according
TO B!ackwood's Magazine, are de-
termined to set up Il monument to
the poets memory. Shillings are
demanded III the public prints, and
thu warnings of the past are unre-
garded. No man that ever lived
needs the poor honor that Il statue
tan afford SO little as Shakes
peare If YOU would seek his mon
ument, open his book Moreover,
every attempt to celebrate his
genius has ANONYMOUSLY failed.
Who thinks of the sad monument
i'll Leicester Square without dis
grace. Can anyone feel pride in
tbeFast tea garden which has been
arranged, under the very best
auspices, at Stratford-on-Avon?
There is but one tribute which the
actors of England need pay 10
England's dramatist. They may
recite his works with the same re.
straint of gesture, intonation and
adornment which interpreted his
works in his own day. And if this
method be not acceptable 10 them,
let them be sincere in their add
miration, and set up all the stat
ues they can afford to the earpen-
ters and scene painters, who are
the real masters of the modern
drama.

WOMEN OF LEISURE NEEDED
Are Necessary to the Up-Building and
Beautifying Of the
Nation.

While no earnest, thoughtful
person wishes to G arreI with
the numerous quickening inter
ests that have come into the HE
of modern woman, there still re
mains the fact, says the Brooklyn
Eagle that the nation stands III
great need of women of leisure.
Leisure does not necessarily mean
Incidence, nor yet luxury, but II
means gracious and civilizing
possession, that is sadly lacking
in most of the busy women OF to-
day. President Hazard, of Wei
lesley, in one of her addresses,
said:
There are three ways in which
women are preeminent: they are
the binders together of society,
they are the beautiters of life, and
they are the preservers of morals
AS the beautifiers of life women
are indeed necessary. II is one Of
women's sweetest privileges to
make those centers to which flow
the streams of humanity who are
weary with the fight of life. 1t Is
woman's privilege to make the
home, and to make it beautiful,
not only to the eye as an artistic
creation, but to the soul as a ha-
ven of rest. But how is she to do
this if she wears herself out in out
side work-if she has no leisure in
which TO plan and execute the
beautifying of home and heart?
To be sure there are many WON
en- so pulled to and fro in the bust
ness world that they have no time
to think Of the many things they
would fain do if the fates had been
kinder. But aside from these
there is rapidly increasing class
of women who have becofe SO alb
sOrbed III various aCtlVltleS OUTSIDE
the home, be they social, philan
thropic. or of the "cults," that tht
type Of woman who greets YOU Sc
renelY in her parlor, as one who
has leisure and the faculty of en-
joying it, is becoming more anC
more rare every season. Leisure
is human need, and women il
particular require it, and if the,
are forced, or force themselves, Il
the verge of exhaustion by at
tempting too much, they canno
fail to lose ii certain attribute o
graciousness that is one of tn,
chief charms of womankind.
