1t is a great, sleepy thing, from
a foot upward in length, with a
measurement around of about II
inches. 1t is kept tanned, about
rocks. Wild specimens are grow
ing rare, though one island off
the coast still swarms with them.
These harmless things come
out as a rule only for food. But
some one in Christ church has dis.
covered a way of bringing them
out at any time. This is by sing
ing to them.
They have their preferences in
music, too. They evince much
more satisfaction at a rollicking
chorus thar at a solo.
One day a song sung by a girl
brought some out, but only their
heads were visible, their sleepy
eyes opening every few minutes.
Then the charmer tried "Soldiers
Of the Queen" and when all Joined
in the chorus there was no doubt
about the effect on the tuataras.
They wriggled about on the

element and joy, until the

The shepherds wedding at the
church of st. Madeleine at Yer.
sailles in 1894 is worth recording,

step in prehistoric times.
The bridegroom, whose name
was Portel, had been a shep.
herd, when he had suddenly
inherited a large fortune, so il
was elected on the occasion of his
marriage to a well-known society
lady shortly afterwards that
everyone should appear in gar.

The effect was curious, for the
bride wore her splendid collection
of diamonds, which glinted from
the folds of her strange wedding
dress, and she carried a shep

THE PUBLIC o
Their influence Upon the Character
Of the Pupila

Of the PupilE
In a recent discussion of public
schools in the United States and
their relation to religion, a clergy.
man said: "We are bringing upall
over this broad land a lusty set of
young pagans, who, sooner or lat
er, they or their children, will
make havoc of our Institutions"
1t is a broad statement. If it is
true the factis of the greatest i'm
pOrtance, for the public schools
surely fail to justify themselves if
they do not build character as well
as imDart knowledge. The charge
was made as an argument in favor
of the introduction of distinctlyre-
ligious instruction in the public
schools.
But is it true? The Outlook of
New York city has attempted to
answer the question, not arbi-
trarily, but by asking the opinion
of 10 college presidents, the heads
of institutions of learning in the
north and in the south, the east
and the west. Their replies are
based upon a study of the students
in their own colleges, part of whom
are graduates of public schools,
part graduates of private or SEE
tartan schools where religion is
taught.
Not one of the 10 college presi.
dents finds that the moral infu-
ence of the public school is inferior
to that of the best private schools.
All say, on the contrary, that the
public school pupil enters life with
as high moral conceptions and as
much religion as their companions
from the private schools; but
several of the presidents do no.
tice a decided difference between
the product of different public
schools and different private
schools-a difference which is al
ways traceable to the character
and personal influence of the
teacher.
The result of this interesting
inquiry is a splendid tribute to the
public schools, says Youth Com
panion. The popular faith in
them is not without Justification.
But two other conclusions should
nOtb be overlooked the tremendous
influence of good teachers, that is,
teachers of strong and beautiful
personal character, and the influ.
ence, in morals and religion, of
the home. If there are no reli.
gious influences in the home, moth.
ing which the schools can teach
will supply the lack; and if there
is religion there, the pupils in the
public schools will do very well
without special religious instruc-
ton.
