FRIDAY EVENING. JULY %. 1905.

The AMERICAN public school system
is a failure in the e1timation of Mrs. h.
G. tirice, corresponding secretary of the
National Congress Of Mothers. This
declaration was made at one Of the meet
ings of the New Jersey WOman's Suf-
frage Association, in session at Ocean
Grove, n. j., Tuesday. Mrs. Grice
went even further, declaring that every
one was aware that the system was a
failure. After the meeting, in explain
ing her position, Mrs. Grice said:
do not mind stating that | believe
the present system is founded upon an
entirely false idea of what education
should be. Education is character
building. But, first Of all, in this most
important formative period Of the child 5
life we must work for all the qualities
which 90 to make the manly man and
womany woman. Simply book learn
ing. technical knowledge, is the very
smallest part of character building in
al. found training needed by the child.
What are the public schools giving him ?
A little smatteriDg of50 different sciences
from books. What are the ideals it
holds before him? To get higher per
centage than the next boy. | was tod
when | went to school that our school
life was intended to rain our minds and
teach us how to learn. That is not The
thought today. 1t is to learn confused
mass of facts which the child cannot
assimiate, for he has no ideals 10 guide
him, no standards and, as the powers OF
his mind are undeveloped, no tools to
work with. The teachers are not to
blame. School should be the one place
on earth where the ideal life is possible
the communal life, as we imagine 1t.
At present it is far from ideal.

ray of hope that he will not be executed

ment was reached to postpone to the last

phone, at IL o'clock. The saving OF

mittee has met with here in putting the

FrightfuI Accident.

The worst railway disaster in the
United Kingdom for fifteen years occur
red yesterday evening on an electrified
section of the Lancashire aud Yorkshire
Railway in England. Twenty-Five per
sons, including several children, were
killed, and an unknown number, but
supposed to be few, injured.
An electric express, which lett Liver
pool, was crowded with passengers. AT
Southport the train crashed into the rear
of an empty train standing on side
track at the Hall road station. The
body of the front car of the express was
torn off, and the steel frame rose in the
air and fell upon the passengers. Two
other cars were overturned and one or
two cars caught fire ltseems that most
of the dead were instantly killed. More
would have been killed but for the pres
ence of mind of a Liverpool architect,
who, seeing that a collision was inevi-
table, shouted to his fellow passengers to
throw themselves upon the floor of the
car. Many were saved by this means.
Almost Immediately after the crash the
wreckage burst into flames. The manged
bodies of the dead and the cries of the
Injured, vainly beseeching that they be
exlricated from the burning wreckage,
formed a terrible scene, and many wom-
en- on the platform tainted. The vic
tins included several women and chill
dren. Fortunately, the badly injured
number comparatively few. The cause
Of the collision is unknown.

champion, started TO cross in the water
this morning. Burgess entered the water
at 7 O'Clock, and struck out ut the rate
of q mile an hour. The water is calm,
and weather conditions at the time of
the start favored the attempt. AT '2:3O
this afternoon Burgess was half way
across the channel and it is believed he
will be able to finish his long swim. He
swan slowly for the first four hours,
when he had covered five miles, and then
increased his speed swimming at the

LITTLE NELL and Joe, the London
street sweeper, nave ever appealed to
readers of Dickens's novels, and, al
though mythical characters, their adven-
lures are read and reread with as much
interest as though they had been real.
Many things come under our obse-va-
lions to remind us of those creatures OF
the Imagination and occasionally incl
dents TO verify the correctness Ofthe say
ing that truth is often stranger than nc
tor. as the following will show: On
the eve of success after a pitiless strug-
gle with poverty, Martha Webb col
lapsed in New York city Wednesday
while on a street car, and was taken to
the hospital in serious condition from
starvation. One thing which may re-
tard the girls recovery, the physicians
say, is anxiety for sick father and lit
tie brother who are depending on her fer
support. Martha, who is twenty-five,
went to New York few days ago from
Fall River Mass, where she had been
employed as a weaver in the cotton mills.
Strike troubles threw her out Of employ
ment, and necessity forced her to seek
work elsewhere. When she arrived in
the big city she had 81, most of which
she paid for a room. The little she had
was soon spent for food. She had
tramped the streets in search of work
aud had eaten nothing for two days.
The unfortunate girl had succeeded in OBJ
tanning employment in printing office
and was to have begun work tomorrow.

IN A recent hearing at the Department
of Agriculture, at which Secretary VIII
sou, Assistant Secretary Hays and two
representatives of an agricultural publ
cation were present. the two last named
made charges that the wife of one of the
scientists in the Bureau of Plant Indus
try owned stock in Il concern manutac-
turing culture for soil incubation, while
the scientist was preparing bulletins por-
traying the culture as containing virulent
forms of bacteria for making poor land
rich. The scientist admitted that his
wife owned the stock and that it was to
come to him iu the event that he severed
his connection with the department and
bee ,me bacteriOlogist of the concern.
but that in the latter part of April he
decided to stay with the department, and
that the stock was no longer held in his
family. This is another instance where
a public trust is converted into a private
snap.

Zionist Congress.

Basle, Switzerland, July 2S.-At
today's session of the Zionist Congress,
delegate Leopold G.. Greenberg, of Lon
don, presented the report Of the expedi-
ton sent to East Africa to explore the
country, which the British government
offered to place at the disposal Of the
Zionist movement for the establishment
of an autonomous Jewish colony. The
report closes as follows: "After an ex-
haustive study of the report Of the expe-
dition sent to East Africa, the executive
committee regards it as inadvisable to
recommend the realization of the East
African project. At the same time, the
executive committee recommend that the
thanks of the Congress be conveyed to
the British government for the generous
offer and for its friendly feelings toward
the Jewish nation"
Scenes similar to those of yesterday
followed the reading OF the report. Some
desired to decline Englands prOaer with
thanks, but the confusion was so great
that it became necessary to adjourn the

right position in the seat of Richmond
street car until Hunter Herring, the man
who is alleged to have shot him, was
captured. The two we're side by side,

shot, Herring tried TO kill himself. but
the revolver failed to work. Herring
sat still beside the corpse OF the man
with whom he had been riding and was
at once secured by the cars crew and
passengers, who later turned him over to
the police. He denied having shot his
friend, but loaded cartridges were found
in his pocket. Herring asserted last
night that Ahern attempted to shoot him,
but he knocked the weapon up and Ahern
was shot instead. The shot which kill
ed Ahern passed through his right tenn
pie. Herring was lineman in the en-
ploy of the Passenger and Power Com
pany, aud Ahern, a painter by trade,
was without regular work. The men
had apparently been excellent friends.
