supplemented By manual work and physical
drill.
The children IN these classes are simply
duIler and slower than ordinary boys and
girls, and need encoura cement. School
WORK must be given to them in smaller
doses. The course of study Is followed "a
certain extent, but no attempt Is made
to cover the amount prescribed In the time
usually allowed.
For boys who are not succeeding in
ordinary classes on account of their had
habits, vicious tendencies and general laol,
OF moral training disciplinary classes are
provided. These are only a step removed
from the refomatory or truant school
here the boys are subjected largely TO
military discipline. They have a great
deal OF drill and physical training, and on
the principle that Satan finds mischief for
idle hands they are kept continually busy.
When their interest is aroused they rapidly
improve.
Among the half million children In the
public schools there are some curious de-
fectives. There are few creiins from
the deep Swiss valleys. These children
develop very slowly and very late.
Ono girl in the public school learned to
walk at years and to talk at s. At the
age OF u she is Of the capacity OF an ordi-
nary child OF the kindergarten.

IL must be done by special methods in special
classes and by specially trained teachers

the psychology Of these detective children.
DR. Brown says that there should be In every

This is 10 determine whether the boy
has any mental power Of comprehension
and has the ability to obey a command.
Nerve signs are carefully noted and some
thing Of the child's history and family life
is inquired into. Maltreatment at home
may be responsible for the child's dulness
at school.
After this examination the doctor CLASH
fies the pupil and gives his recommendation
as to the particular class to which he should
belong. According 70 DR.. Brown certain
classes OF detectives should be taken out
Of school and treated in particular lnsti-
tutions. These are the epileptic. the deaf,
the blind. the idiot and tho imbeeie. Others
should be treated at home, and many OF the
weak minded may be treated at school in
properly organized classes.
School classes for detectives are of three
kinds which go by the names Of training,
coaching and disciplinary classes.
The training classes are limited 70 fifteen
members and are for those whose powers
of comprehension. reason and judgment
are extraordinarily weak. For these the
ordinary school curriculum Is entirely
abandoned, and the method Of instruction
takes the form OF manual training. physical
exercises and kindergarten activities.

The Centuries Old Wine Glass Pulpit in Westminster Abbey

Cranmor who happened 10 be the god

Six years later il was his lot TO use ii for
a very different occasion. This WAS the

Archbishop must have felt that his own
