FAULT WITH EDUCATION"
The School System Trains the Mem

DIR. Wolf Won Schierbrand, in Public Opinion.
In all our schools. high and low. but espe-
cially in the higher grade ones, and in tho
colleges and universities, not enough time
is given TO the study of the various
branches. Long before the subject has
been grasped and mentally digested the
pupil is hurried on to new fields. Repeu-
ton is similarly treated hastily, skimming
the surface only. The most slOvenly meth
DDS of tuition. To judge from what | have
seen and heard myself are nearly every
where in these Uuited states in vogue in
imparting "A knowledge Of geography, gen.
erai history, languages and foreign litera-

The system is largely to blame Let US
see. | have already spoken of one error
committed. tast Of undue haste. But there
are several others. Teachers are not given
latitude enough in teaching. The system
adoLted every where forces them TO teach
In cut-and-d"ied manner, largely mechan-
ical leaving little, II any, 'leeway TO The
Individual te.cfeT, and Sitl! less choice to
the individual pupil. Again, there is
great deal too much mCmorizing and drill
ing, and not half enough exercising, whet-
ting and haTEcning Of the pupils own re-
fective powers. and instead OF making it
the teachers chief aim to make the young
idea shoot" 10 get the gist OF the matter
into each head. and 10 make the pupil tell
in his or her own words what has or
has not Lcen imbibed. the prevailing meth
cd is to set the scholar to repeat nearly
always in a r-ecnanical way, the lesson
learned in as nearly the Identical words
used In teaching as may be.
This is learning by note, not by mind; il
trains the memory, but not the Intellect;
knowledge thus acquired does not become
a part OF the pupils brain. IL is but a su-
perficial requirement. Overcrowding the
memory cells and oozinS out again bit by
bit. The only efficient way to teach IS to
make every pupils mind imbibe the salient
facts of each matter. to be amalgama ted
and digested thoroughly.

HOLLANDS BUTTER SYSTEM.
How It Conduces to Excellence of
Product.
From the Pail Mall Gazette

From the Pail Mall Gazette
Perhaps no more happy meetings be-
tween Dutch and English have taken place
for many a long year than those of the
agricultural editors and journalists from
England on the one hand and of the
Dutch farmers and other agricultural au-
thorities and experts the other hand,
The Britishers wanted to see Holland, and
especially the agricultural districts. They
achieved their purpose.
In the country districts one notices a
complete absence of excitement: the peo-
pie occupy their farm houses, placed at in
tervals of about mile or more apart, and,
except for the cattle on the pastures one
sees very little of the farmers. In Great
Britain we consume lot of Dutch butter,
but we are afraid the British public, as
well the retailers and wholesalers. are
unaware of the strides which the Dutch
people have taken and are taking with a
view Of placing the best possible article
upon our market. We desire, therefore, to
say a word the system of butter con-
troll as conducted in Holland. Any farmer
or creamery can decide to come within the

penalties II he makes attempt by fraud to

the system. SO perfect is the system of
'button control that If a farmer or
creamery sends out adulterated butter
such butter can be traced to the individual
farmer or creamery, which manufactured
It. and then, of course, the penalties would
| come into force. So far those who have
| lea gued themselves together have kept faith
with the government, under whose auspices
the system has been established. The sys-
tenn is practically this: the government sup

getting married he kept small store

In his capacity as a wine merchant
he lived pretentiously and used his
acquaintance with high society as the
means of extracting large sums of
money from business men, whom he
impressed as a good fellow. There 1t

Hoch will Feign Insanity.
From previous experiences Inspector
Shippy declares that he believes the
alleged blgamist will, as is usually the
case when he has been placed on trial,
profess insanity. His actions on the
train en- route to Chicago made 1t ap-
pear that possibly this might be his
scheme when brought to account. His
rambling talk, and repeated declara-
tlon that he was "an educated man and
a gentleman" give the authorities the
belief that this Is to be the defense OF
Johann Hoch. And judging by what
old men on the police force who have
seen Hoch say, the man is no mere
novice at the insanity gag" and they
declare that even the insane officials
who have to deal with such cases of
shamming almost every day, were
fooled at a previous appearance before
law court in Chicago. "I rather ex-
pect Hoch will sham insanity" said
Inspector Shippy. when caught and
charged with selling mortgaged furni-
ture in 1898, he played the same dodge.
"on trial in Judge Bakers court he
cut up queer antics, shook his head at
F. j. Magerstadt, who had furnished
four flats for him, and declared he
never had seen him before, and when
Mrs. ]. H. Schwartzmann, Of Milwau-
kee, pointed a dramatic finger at him
and said: That man poisoned my two
sisters he made faces at her. In the
county Jail he kept up the farce, raw
ing like a wild man until the guards,
who believed in the genuineness of the
seizure, feared to come near him. AS
soon as Hoch realized his pretended
insanity would not save him from hard
work, he suddenly became as sane as
any man."
Summary of His Life.
In an interview Johann Hoch vouch-
es for the following summary of his
career ending with his arrival in Chi
cago in 1895. 1t has been reported
that his operations began in 1881, or
about that time, but according to his
own story he did not arrive in this
