"THREE R,s.~
Reaction in Public Schools Toward the
Elementals in Learning.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The reaction toward the three RS in
the public schools has become 80 marked
that the "educationalists'' and school jour-
nails that consider themselves especially pro-
gressive seem to have enlisted in a warfare
upon those whom they choose to term the
s2tiquarians." The School Journal of New
York, Chicago and Boston is especially Sc
we're in denouncing reaction and reaction
aries, whom II designates also as dema-
gogues (spelled demagogs). The three RS,
it declares, are better taught than they
ever were, and then our contemporary calls
upon all the world to prove that they are
not. OF course no sensible person has con-
tended that public school children should
be taught nothing but the elementary stud
les of reading, writing and arithmetic. But
when the statement Is made that even since
the curriculum Of the girls high school IN
Philadelphia has been reduced and simpli-
fed the unfortunate pupils must still study
in four years course three branches Of
mathematics. four of history, English. in
GLIDING grammar, rhetoric, composition
and literature; drawing, music, botany, BIZ
ology, chemistry, physics. physiology, phys
ical geography, one modern language and
Latin; 1t needs no more evidence than this
catalogue to sustain the position of the
"antiuuarians." Any teacher or "educa-
tionalist," as the man who has charge of
schools is called, who would subject young
girls to such an ordeal as this should be
placed in some kind of confinement, or If
his mental disorder does not manifest itself
in violence he might be put at hard labor
In the penitentiary. In addition to all the
studies in the Philadelphia school enumer-
ated above, before the reform of unloading
was accomplished there was also cooking,
sewing and calisthenics. At a recent con-
vention of teachers Miss Haeseler of this
school explained that these various studies
were introduced in the school one after an
other to meet the demands of educational
theorists. The nifty of it Is that our system
of government permits the unoffending
children to be handed over as a prey to the
educational theorist, compared with whom,
In the extent of the injury he inflicts upon
the innocents King Herod of Judea was
kind of st. Nicholas. At this same teach
ers' meeting President Warfield of Lafay-
cite College said: when my oldest child
reached the stage in the grammar grades
of the public school that he arose from ten
to eleven subjects, despaired."
There is one class of children who do not
attend the public schools beyond the gram
mar school grades; another goes throssh
the high school, and small number GO
from the high school to college. 1t would,
of course be desirable to give each one or
these classes a course of study modified
according to the length of time he viii at

pertaining how long pupil is to continue

The prosperous condition of the office of
the recorder Of deeds, while mainly and
largely due to the activity Of real estate
brokers and owners in disposing of prop
erty and improving it, still there Is some
percentage of the receipts of the Office that
comes from the fees received under the laws
granting charters of incorporation to COM
panies. Since February of the present year,
when the section of the code was amended,
very noticeably. This has been the case,
although the number Of certificates granted
has been much less.
The explanation is a simple one and Is en-
tirely due to the fact that under the code
the cheapest and easiest method of secur-
ing charter was provided that was to be
found in any place In this country. All that
was necessary to do under the code was to
make an application and pay fee which
was based upon the number of words in the
paper that was presented to be filed. The
entire cost would not be more than dollar
or two, of course depending upon the
length Of the paper.

an important amendment to that law, and
now no application for charter can be
fixed charge is 40 cents on each $1O00 Of
the amount Of the capital stock Of the COM

ganization is safeguarded to some extent by
the requirement that before the recorder
can issue a certificate he must be satisfied
that all the capital stock has been SUBJ
scribed for In good faith and that not less
than 10 per cent Of the par value has been
paid In cash.

It is said that the stone from which
canoes are cut-onyx and sardonyx-
is SO plentiful on the Uruguay river,
in Brazil, that ships often take it away
as ballast. Nevertheless perfect pieces
of large size are costly, a piece suit
able for large portal costing as much
as $75. This stone is preferred for
canoes because of it's hardness and
durability and is suitable for such work
owing to the fact that it comes in lay
ers of contrasting color, as black and
white, black and cream or red and
white. When the cut figure is sunk in
to the stone instead of being raised the
cutting is called an intaglio. The cost
Of these gems is due to the time and
skill required in the work. Formerly
small gem might occupy an artist for
year or more, but with modern ap-
planes the work can be done much
more rapidly. Still the ancient work
bears the palm for artistic excellence
The cutting is now done by holding
the stone against revolving drill
whose soft steel face is covered with
diamond dust No steel is hard enough
to cut the stone. The utmost patience
and caution and delicate handling are
required, as the slightest slip may be
fatal to the work.

Daisie. Follow RAILWAYS.

"Buttercups and daisies follow rail-
roads the Aorld over" said an en-
gineer. "In India, in central Asia, in
Brazil, the parallel rails run continual
ly between meadows white and yellow
with home flowers. In the construction
of all foreign railways American or
English engineers have hand. These
men know that good home grass is the
best thing for holding together the
earth on entertainments. Grass is tough
and lasting. 1t strikes root SO easily
that it practically cements the most
fimsy earthworks. So grass seed from
home is sown on railway entertainments
all over the world by the home en-
gineers helping to build them, and thus
in the most tropical places, among gor-
geous orchids and palms and giant
cacti, you will see mile after mile 81
wholesome. clean home grass, studded
with white daisies and yellow butter
