the stories of 1Iyra Kelly, an ex-teach- CT who has turned her experience in a school in East Broadway, Manhattan, to account as literature. The efforts of a teacher. and through her of "the new education" to throw light into the minds of the children of foreign birth and of diverse religious training are often funny but they are full of a deep and abiding pathos. They offer guidance or educational methods as well if one will but look for it. No one has begun to state the problem before
 the new education with anything like the fullness and conviction of Miss
 Kelly, and no one has shown so clearly where and why it falls short of it's ideal. Her stories, when they are made accessible in book form, should
 be on the desk of every member of the Board of Education, and of every other official who has anything to do with the schools. Then those men will get some realizing idea of the magni- tude of the task before the schools of New York. Meanwhile the criticism of the new education will continue until it can show results somewhat com mensurate with its lofty ideals. At present the discrepancy between the two is as great and as glaring as that between a ballet girl and the costume
 which, by polite fiction, is supposed to cover her.-Brooklyn Eagle.

school work. Obviously those children should De taught on a different plan from that adopted for children whose native tongue is English, and who ac- quire a certain familiarity with civil government and American history out side of the schools. The Eagle has often advocated two separate courses of study one adapted to the children vEho expect to leave school as soon as the law allows, and the other for those who expect to go through the high schools or further. It has insisted Tn season and out, that the public schools should be conducted primarily for those pupils who can get no instruction out side Of them. The children who can afford to go to college should take potluekp in the public school course with those whose fitness for citizen ship must be acquired in the publia schools.
 A good deal has been done, and much more attempted, for children who must work at IS in the teaching as now con- ucted. The criticism of the schools is not aimed at that purpose, but 1t is based upon the fact that the system does not achieve the results at which 1 it aims. Those citizens who are deeply I interested in the welfare of the schools may be divided into two groups. One side headed by Mir Maxwell and Pres ident Butler of Columbia is made up of students of the scientific theory of education. They have tried to apply c-a5r G,a IL. Ir. would give to achild of foreign parents in the tenements the same opportuni- ties that are open to the children i whose ancesors have lived here for gen erations. They have tried to do for one child in eight or at most 12 years of the public school what two or three gem erations of Americanisnn has done for the other. That is the ideal behind those things which are commonly des- cribed as 'fads and frills" in the schools. It is a noble ideal, and the only criticism of it is that the thing cannot be done, that the childish mind is not capable of assimilating so much in such short time.
 That is the position of most of the critics of the present school course. The best informed of those are the teachers who see the work that goes
 under their hands and who know its defects only too we'll. Others are par ents and employers who come in con tact with the public school children and who judge of the system by it's results. Many such observers have
 testified that the minds of the children Iare a confused tumble of undigested land unrelated facts, and that they are
 wofully efficient in elementary matters Hike spelling and the simple operations of arithmetic. The teachers insist that this is because they do not have time
 to teac anything. thoroughly. The most | thorough exploitation of the facts and the reason for failure is to be found in

What We Don't Want.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 We don't want the country to be un- der the necessity of. issuing bonds for it's support in consequence of Demo- cratic tariff reforms, 50 called.
 We don't want any free soup houses, established to keep the poor from star vation by reason of the corrupt policies of a Democratic administration.
 We don't want smokeless factory chimneys, and, as natural result, Coxey armies marching to Washington to demand labor which a Democratic administration has deprived them of
 We don want the half civilized tribes of the Philippine islands left in condi- ton of anarchy by reason of the with drawal of our rule over those islands. Any. visitor at the great St. Louis ex- position who goes through the Filipino village, and looks upon the natives who have nothing but breech clout to help hide their nakedness, must be thor oughly impressed with the idea that such a people are not yet capable of government, however much the democracy claim to the contrary. The Democratic argument that we are op- pressing these people is well met by the fact that our country, under Republi- can rule, has already established two | thousand nine hundred schools in those | islands for the education of the natives, who so greatly need such education. It will be remembered that few years ago the Democratic party was loud in | its denunciation of the Republican poli- ! cy as carried out in the Sandwich is lands, the great lights of that party eontending that Queen Lilllaloukalani had been illegally deprived of her throne, and that it was a matter of great injustice on a part of our gov ernment Why is it that we hear no more of that injustice" at the present day? Why, unless it is because the Democratic party has come to the sem isible conclusion that the Republican policy, as applied to those islands, is right.
 We don't want a man for president who is not capable of delivering a po- litical speech without reading it from manuscript.
 We don't want man for president who ignores the right and justice of af- l fording proper pensions to the aged veterans of the Civil War-a man who would offer them only Dead sea apples I that would turn to ashes on their lips. We don't want a man for president who, in his colossal ambition to gain that office, traduces the character of the present worthy chief magistrate by
 the most outrageous falsehood that any man who claimed common decency would not be guilty of.
 l All these things, and many more that
 could be mentioned, we don't want and it remains for the intelligent and pat riotic well wishers of the country to cast their votes in to-day's election in

Great Britain isn't growing much about her prosperity. Her exports are decreasing in proportion to her imports, while there is a noticeable decline in imports also. The value of imports for September shrunk to $12,500.O0O below the figures of the previous month. Be- tween 50,o0O and 6OOOO emigrants are leaving England each year, and over two thousand are leaving Ireland every week. At "a recent meeting of the Lon don overseers of the poor it was stated by the president of the local govern ment board that conditions are worse there than previously known in half century. He declared that extraordi- nary measures must be taken to give work or aid to the idle. and urged that as the laws of political economy had been broken to relieve starving Ireland they must now be broken to relieve starving London. It was urged that a session of parliament be called to deal with the situation, which seems to be about as bad in such Industrial cen ters as Glasgow and Manchester as in London.
 Free Trade England doesn't seem to be quite as well off as Protection Unit ed States.

We have good friendly government. It is kind to the Filipinos and it is kind to home industries and home peo- pie. One of the recent evidences of it's kindness is the announcement that by direction of the secretary of agriculture the bureau of plant industry is to make experiments to determine the best
 manner in which to brew a cup of cot. fee, To this end, MT. F. L. Lawton, a specially trained expert, has been en- gagged. The view of the department is that a cup of coffee is good because of the manner in which 1t is brewed, rather than from the quality of the bean from which the beverage is made.

It will De appreciated by all persons acquainted with the art and mystery of coffee making that various conditions, apparently trivial in themselves, have to be taken into consideration in pro- ducing the beverage. For instance, in the process of roasting the beans may be more or less damaged by being un- der or over done, and the flavor of the coffee thus impaired to a correspond ing degree. Hence the necessity for ideal conditions in roasting. Again, the effects of water at various tempera- lures upon the ground coffee and the proper period for infusion will, for the first time in the history of coffee mak- ing, be thoroughly and accurately as- certained. The retention of caffeine. the active principle of coffee, to which it owes its stimulating effects, and the elimination of the caffeotannic and caf- feic acids, which are not only injurious to health but communicate an unpleas- ant. bitter taste to the beverage, will be, Of course, the principal object.
 This is good work. It ought to have been done in time for it's effect on the election. But an Administration which is going to find out how to make good coffee and spread the information de- serves support,

Joseph Jefferson is reported as saying that during his long stage career he was never associated with anyone showing undue familiarity except one individual Bagley. his property man for several seasons. The man was valuable in his way.and so Mir. Jefferson tolerat- ed his disagreeable manners until Bag ley overstepped all bounds one night in Baltimore. The property man got very drunk that afternoon and in the even ing paid his way into gallery seat. MT. Jefferson was playing Rip Van Wrinkle" The angry Gretchen had just driven poor. destitute Rip from the cot tage. when Rip turns, and, with a word of pathos, asks: Den haf no interest in der house?" The theater was death ly still, the audience half in tears, when Bagley's cracked voice was heard in re- sponse: "only 80 per cent, Joe, old boy; only 80 per cent" He was promptly ejected from the theater and lost his job on the spot.

IVHY HE FIGHTS so.

The Japanese soldier fights well, and there are good reasons why he does. Nobushige Amenomori tells about them in the October Atlantic: And our Jap anese soldier knows that he shall be honored if he serves his country well. Man lives but his lifetime; his name it is that lives to posterity," has been told him from his childhood He be- lieves the ancient heroes of his race are watching him and guiding him. The banner of his regiment has characters written by his emperor, and was given ito his regiment by the emperor him. hself, the chief by birth of his race, Such being the banner, and consequent lily the inborn memories of the race twining around it, the soldier sees with the eye of his faith his ancestors marching before the standard of the Rising Sun. He knows he has the deep fellow feeling of his living countrymen, and that if he dies he shall be honored, for endless generations, with offerings and festivals by his countrymen yet to come. Nothing is so real to him as what he feels; and he feels that with him are united the past, the present and the future generations of his coun trymen. Thus fully conscious of the intense sympathy of his compatriots both dead and living, and swelled with lofty anticipation of his glorious des- tiny, no danger can appall, and no toll can tire the real Japanese soldier.
 This is good reasoning and good writing. The Japanese soldier evident ly has strong and persistent feeling to urge him on.
