The sullivan-Hearst Incident.

The reply of Congressman Sullivan
to Hearst's attack was in excellent tenn
per and taste. Mr.. Sullivan said not a
word too much nor did he omit one that
was necessary to its suflicingness. Many
men would have lost their temper, but
Mr.. Sullivan's tone was as judicial as
if he were reeiting the facts in the life
of another to jury. The incident we
hope is closed. Certainly Mr.. Sullivan
has no need to reopen it, and we should
think that MFR. Hearst would avoid re-
currence to it as long as he can keep
himself in Congress-
If Mr.. Hearst had been better advised
he would never have provoked the crush
ing effectiveness of MIR. Sullivan's ex-
PLANTATION. The fact that Mr.. Sullivan
was in trouble at the age Of seventeen,
under circumstances that he frankly de-
tailed in the House, was not news.
1t was forgotten hereabouts long ago
save BY an element Of Democratic poll
tieians 81 Hearst syfnpathies One Of
these is said to have offered the story
to the Republican leaders in the elev-
enth district last fall, and was told by
them that under no circumstances would
they use IL. Not only did they refuse
to use it, but they refused to touch 1t,
or let it be touched Another of these
Hearst sympathizers is understood to
have supplied Hearst himself with the
story to be sprung in the House,.

Farray had never before numbered
philanthropy among his sins. but since
Miss Curtis had taken charge of the
Fresh Air Fund home In the little vii
lage where he spent his summers Far
rar had evinced decided interest In
the movement
Heretofore he had labeled children
Of the fresh air fund variety and 9th
erwise--as unmitigated little nuisances
whose chief aim In life was to annoy
their elders and bring peoples hearts
into their mouths by falling into the
river or crossing the street in front OF
a speeding automobile.
He had even complained to the town
authorities before Miss Curtis took
charge, OF course-of the noise created
BY the fifty or more youngsters who
resided few doors below his place,
and he had suggested that the home
be removed to the woods outside the
town.
But, with the advent Of Miss Curtis,
Farrars attitude underwent sudden
and thorough change From the mo-
ment he laid eyes on her young, car
nest face and looked into her clear
gray eyes-alI this was at the post
Office while he was apologizing for
humping unceremoniously against her

No One or Every One. According ~
We Ask the Question.
Who is insane? No one or every one,
according as we ask the question. No
one in an asylum will admit that he or
she is insane. Each in turn would re-
sent such an insinuation. Certainly
no one out of an asylum will assent to
the charge Of being insane. And yet
both parties readily recognize the in
sanity of others. An intelligent old
lady. once the head of ladies' SEM
mary, wished me to discharge her
from an asylum, alleging that all the
patients in the hall believed her sane.
Seven women were privately asked
their opinions as to her sanity, and all
declared that she was very insane,
while asserting their own sanity When
Informed of the result of the test the
old lady accurately described the spe-
cial peculiarities of each of her ac-
cusers. So in every community the
private gossip is much concerned about
those who are called strange" "pecul-
lar" "deranged." unbalanced" Eight
headed" "a little off," tout of gear"
''wrong in the upper story" "cranks."
Few if any escape for a lifetime one
or the other of these epithets. Without
as within the asylum no one recognizes
his or her own mental deviations. but
| readily detects the mental alterations

SWISS SCHOOLS.
The Course Of Study and the system
Of Training.

The Course Of study and the system
Of Training.
The education given in the schools Of
Switzerland Is in many respects more
comprehensive and practical than that
offered In our curriculums The girls,
for Instance. are taught not only to
read and write and spell. but to cook,
to wash. to sew, says the IIousckeeper.
In addition to being trained for the du-
ties Of homemaking and housekeeping,
each girl is taught some useful trade.
Many of the pupils are daughters Of
rich parents. and there is little likeli-
hood of their ever having to earn their
own living, but the patcrnal govern
ment takes the view that every men,
Der of society should possess the abili-
ty to be self supporting even though
the necessity to exercise that ability
should never arise. No expense has
been spared in equipping The schools Of
Switzerland for the teaching of domes-
tic science.
The boys. too. have not been neglect
ed In the Swiss system of education.
Physical culture and manual training
have prominent places in the curricu-
lum. and every boy on leaving the pub
lie school is equipped to earn his own
living. Fads and frills 0ge absent from
the Swiss schools. The hard headed tax
payers want to see some return for
their money. They demand that the
education for which they pay shall be
practical and useful in after life Are
they not right?
