PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
MORAL CHARACTER

The New York outlook lately sub
mltted to the college Of presidents Ct
the country, the question,
us any difference noticeable in the
moral character Of the young men
who come from the public schools
and that Of those who come from the
church and other pri-
vate schools?"
their Testimony was almost unani-
nous that the morals Of public school
boys is quite as high as that of boys
from other schools, President Jacob
could Schurman of Cornell Univer-
sity gives figures to show that the
public schools actually produce larg-
er percentage of church members
than private schools He says:
AT the beginning Of each year the
University Christian Association is in
the habit OF asking each member 4
the freshman class to state his or her
religious affiliations, and they have
informed me that of the present fresh
man class STA have reported on the
question, of which number 1868 have
stated that they are members of some
recognized church. On consulting the
university records we find that If
these STA students 456 came to Us
from the public schools, while the
remaining 11S pursued their prepare
tory studies in private or denomina-
uonal schools, and by checking UP
these two lists by means of the data
which the Christian Association has
furnished us we find that of the 456
from the high schools 297, or IS per
cent, declare themselves to be church
members, while of the 11S from the
private and denomiuational schools
only 66, or Sc per cent, make such
declaration, the remaining students
in each category answering the ques,
tion in the negative. The fact that
practically two~thirds of our fresh
men who come from thepublic schools
are church members is a conclusive
REPUTATION Of the allegation that the
public schools are breeding an ire
ligious. immoral and anarchial class
OF citizens"
President Charles W. Elliott of Har
ward University, says:
I'VE observe that the students who
come from the public schools canno
be distinguished from the student:
from other sources on any mora
grounds
In similar vein President Arthur I
Hadley of Yale University observes
I'VE feel justified in saying that w
have not noticed any adverse effec
of the public schools upon moral chal
acter of our students, taking the pull
lie school pupils as body, on the On

coats, with belts which are far too
large and form a sort of hoop in

breastplate is worn over the chest,
representing stork for civil { flee

headdress is kind of hat woven of

Ambassador Bearded Car.

Sir Jerome Bowes. Queen Eliza.
beths ambassador to Ivan the Terri
BILE, czar OF Russia. in 1888, had an
exciting time. Ivan had killed his
own son few years earlier in a fit of
passion. and was no easy character to
deal with. The cZar saw fit to dis
parage the English queen, whom, he
declared, .'he did not. reckon to be his
fellow" there being those who were
her betters. Bowes could not stand
this sort of thing, and pluckily as
serted that his princess was as great
as any in Christendom. What. AS
great as the emperor of Germany"
demanded Ivan. Why" answered
Bowes, with a fine assumption Of
scorn, such is the greatness of the
queen, my mistress, that the king her
father had not long since the emperor
in his pay in his wars against France"
The czar was at first more furious
than ever, but in time he took Bowes
into his favor.

MINERALS ESSENTIAL TO lIee
lmpor.an. Role Played by So-calIeo
Inorganic Substances.

That the minute traces of metallic
substances found in living bodies are
not accidental. but essential To the
performance of the functions of life
is asserted by Herrera, French BIZ
ologist. He goes so far as to saw
that Zoology and botany, are but
chapters of mineralogy. so important
is the role played in organic life by
these so-called inorganic substances
For instance. all the phenomena of
movement in an animal are, he as
serts. due TO oxidation. AS to nutri.
ton, it is impossible, he says. when
the food is deprived of its mineral
clements. Dogs fed on substances
from which the salt and other inor.
ganic matter has been carefully re.
moved die of starvation. At the bot
tom of our vital processes. asserts this
writer, are fermentation and oxida-
ton, or their analogues: and these de-
pend on the presence Of certain min
eral bodies in the tissues. Even the
role of pepsin in digestion seems &c
depend on the presence OF iron. In
short the organic substances on
which life depends are, he says, pre-
pared in inorganic workshops with
mineral reagents" and thus a living
being is practically a member OF the
mineral ingdOm.-Success.
