PUBLIC SCHOOL.


often lost sight of. 1t is too often
believed that Our pupils are mere
receptacles of knowledge and that
the more subtle processes of edu-
cation whereby influences now I'm
seen are to promote the welfare
of the child for life are merely
waste of time. Standing, as the
public schols do, for the creation
of the best type of citizenship,
there is not full realization nor
recognition of the work they are
doing today for the state and for
the world. Everything which
adds to their effectiveness, which
makes the child a fuller, broader
or more versatile man or woman,
which refines and elevates, but
which yet does not produce imme-
diately computable results, is too
often set down by these self-con-
stituted critics as a fad" So,
drawing, which gives expression
to the perceptive faculties, music
which sweetens and ennobles life,
cooking and sewing and manual
training which add directly to the
earning power of the child, which
render the home of the future
citizen and patriot more attractive
and heighten the art of living
these all come under the ban of
criticism
When, in 1918, it was determin-
ed in Boston that children of seven
years and under were as worthy to
be educated at public expense as
those who were fitting themselves
for the learned professions, there
were objections to this extrava-
gance. Even the foundation
studies of reading, writing and
arithmetic were thought needless
to be taught at public expense. Let
us, then, be patient with the cri-
tics, but let us not cease making
our schools as effective as possible,
choosing deliberately, but fearless
ly, what we may be sure will con-
serve their highest good.-W.

The Siege of Gibraltar taxed
the combined land and marine
forces of France and Spain for
four years, but Sir George Elliott
successfully held it for Britain.
All the resources of science and
ingenuity were used to reduce the
beetling Rock, but they failed alb
solutely. Floating batteries were
the chief hope of the besiegers, and
were accounted invincible. But
they were almost totally destroyed
by the English fire, as also many
of the finest French and Spanish
sail of the line. The siege had to
be abandoned, and Britain has held
the Rock ever since.

BACK TO THE LAND.'

Secretary Wilson says a reac-
ton is taking place and the people
are inclined to go back to the land.
l have just received letter from
factory hand in Hagerstown,
Md, stating that, although he
makes from two to three dollars
a day, he wants to go back to the
farm, and that some four hundred
men in the same factory want to
do the same. Letters from city
toilers in the press, and to me also,
prove the back-to-the-land inclina-
ton.
Work, and not education, must

Hurrah for Speaker Knudsen of

is stranger coincidence that he is
the third generation of Knudsen
holding the highest office in the
legislative body Of the country
they live in. The present Speak
cr's grandfather was for a number
of years speaker of the legislature
(Storthing) of Norway and was
known as President Knudsen till
his death. The Speakers father,
Valdemar Knudsen, was speaker of
the House of Representatives of
the Kingdom of Hawaii some time
in the sixties, and the illustrious
grandson and son of the former
two is at present occupying the
seat. May he live to see his son

London, April 2O.-Baron Hayashi,
the japanese minister to Great Britain.
expressed the opinion to the Associated
Press that Admiral Togo would not
give battle to Rojestvensky with his
entire squadron, but would continue
the cautious tactics which character
lied his attacks on the Port Arthur, not
because he feared defeat, but owing to
his desire to inflict the greatest
amount Of damage on the Russians
with the least loss to himself While
confident of his ability to accomplish
the total destruction of the Russian
squadron in big battle there is the
danger of Togo losing one or two of his
big ships. Therefore, Baron Hayashi
believes Togo will employ his torpedo
boats and torpedoboat destroyers
which number more than 100, and are
vastly superior to the Russian torpedo
boat flotilla. in harrassing the Rus
SLAMS, gradually picking off the Russian
warships. He said the coasts of japan,
Korea ard Formosa lend themselves to
night work with torpedo boats, while
the narrow channels will make the
