 The great increase in cigarette smok- ing among school pupils in Phil adelphia has aroused the board of edil- cation to action, and a special cofmnlit- tee has been appointed to take steps to put an end to the habit. It is recog- nized that the task will be a difficult one, but educators have declared that something must be done. The use of tobacco in cigarette form has, it is stat ed, taken hold on the pupils to such an alarming extent that it must be stopped. This, it is said, will be done by the adoption of stringent rules. It is stated that the enforcement of these rules may eventually lead to the expul- sion of quite a number of pupils. Ot the S2, 900 boys in the public schools it is estimated that 20,000 use cigarettes It is also said that of the three thousand students at the University of Pennsy1- vania more than two-thirds are cigar cite smokers.

The Russian government has bought new breastplate which is impenetra- ble to rifle bullets and swords, and d number of the officers gone to the front in the Far East have been equipped with this new protection against Japan ese bullets. The breastplate, which is the invention of an Italian, Giorgiano, is made of soft elastic material, about one-f fourth of an inch thick, and weighs four pounds. Experiments made at St. Petersburg show that bullets fired at the breastplate remained in it and were Hattened, without penetrating the inner surface, though a severe shock was dis tinctly felt by the Wearer when shots were fired at a short distance.

Ink between the home and the school which was once lacking When
chhdren were sent directly from the home to the school it is probable
that many children began school work at too early an age. Now, how
ever there is the kindergarten to prepare your child for those tasks
winch It will have to take up in the primary school.
The kindergarten provides for the general training of The chi1ds
powers, rather than for the teaching of specific subjects. Ii is a
school of experience and not of definite achievement il aims to omen
the childs nature and to place him in the right attitude toward those
aspects OF the world which shall after on constitute the subjects Of his
study.
1t has been said that there is risk Of subiecting the very vouny
child TO physical strain. This criticism undoubtedly refers TO readino
or other exercises which require close attention. and not to the simple and
varied work and play carried Of. in the kindergarten. Work and plav.
song and story, call out the synnpatfies Of the child. and aim to forn,
habits which constitute the bases Of character.
The connection between the kindergarten and the primary school is
very important 1t has been found in the primary school that the nupis
from the kindergarten are in number, .sorm, color, language and manu-,
training far in advance OF the pupils who have never attended school
before.
The value OF the kindergarten instruction is proved BY the testi,
mony Of teachers who state that children who come from the kinder
garten have better powers Of observation, expression and concentration \.
are more attentive, alert, intelligent and accurate ;hayec larer ideas. great
Inauguration, better reasoning powers; are more original and speak bet
NJ English, while at the same time they are more obehent, selfreGant
fhonest, generous, truthful, courageous, orderly unselhs1 and indus
trious. I'll to be noted also that they are more polite in their manners
and physically much better 4 n

DOUBT whether it is the present so much as the past system
of education that has overcrowded the professions, for it
takes at least a generation and a half to effect visible
changes. Formerly, il is said, a country doctor could call
cuiate on thousand patients as his quota, Now he is lucky
II he has 500. The ratio Of lawyers to the population has
changed even more. This overplus has been fostered by
the overweening desire TO SO TO college as the fitting climax
Of education, and by the notion that college should be cor
related with, rather than Independent OF, secondary schools.
