That so great change could be

before going further we want TO say
to our readers that when the state

the management of Prof. j. G. Blair
they certainly employed man who
not only understands his business,
but who also knows how TO keep
everything moving rapidly,
The entire piece of ground. except
the fort redoubt. has been plowed up
and narrowed down smoothly. Then
the stakes were placed for the vari-
GUS improvements about the grounds.
At present the ~ foot driveway
around the park is being built. An
excavation ten inches deep is made
for the driveway and this is filled
with gravel and will later be rolled
with a steam road roller so as TO
make it compact. There will be no
wear to this method OF road building,
and is the kind that should be put
in by the city,
The grounds will have a thorough
SYSTEM of service water pipes and
drainage pipes. Excavations through
out the park in every direction have
been made for this purpose. AT all
points Of depression catch basins are
being built to connect with the eight
inch sewers that are being laid.
None of the present trees in the
park will be destroyed, except where

trimmed so as TO look better, and the

other trees are to be planted in the

Various Kinds Of Memory.

Considering the kinds of memory,
NJ Menard states that some persons
best remember Impressions received
through the eyes: others. those com.
ing through the ears: and still other
persons best keep in mind what they
have written out. We are all more
or less endowed with auditive and Wis
utl memory. while the former is spe-
eially developed in musicians and the
latter in painters. The three classes
visual, auditive and motor-are
illustrated in the methods of study
by children, some of whom learn their
lessons by reading a number of times,
others only by hearing them recited,
and still others must repeat the les
son TO themselves. Pupils who must
recite to themselves in a high voice
have auditive-motor memory. while
those who must copy the lesson
number of times have visual-motor
memory. The student adopts instinct
lively the methods his memory re.
quires.
