Discussion by Their
Report

"Are American school boys girlish?"
This question, which has been agltating
England for the past few months and
which has been creating a sensation in
the east, has at last arrived in Los An
geles in a report Of the Moseley educa-
tional commission of London, which re-
Gently visited the United States to
study the American plan Of education
and to get a true solution of this ques-
tion.
The Britishers spent some time in
this country, and when they had re-
turned to England they scratched their
English heads, twisted their British
boards and met in important session, in
which they proceeded to throw mud at
the American schools, and particularly
at the American school boy, whom they
declared was sissy and girlish in his
habits. They then went to great
lengths to explain that co-education,
tempered by so many women instruc-
tors in the public schools, was the cause
of this "sissiness'

had to say about us. 1t is an extract
from the special treatise of Prof Henry
f. Armstrong, Phi. D.. LII. D., F. r. S,
and then some more:
Most of us who are conversant with
school work were struck by the dis
tinctly low average of attainment in
the American high schools. To what
Is this attributed? In part probably
to the conditions which prevail in
American life, but in large measure
also, | venture to think, to the pre-
valence of mixed schools and the pre-
ponderance of women teachers.
Admitting that it may be possible,
even desirable, to bring up the two
sexes together in the early years of
school life, 1 venture to think that we
must sooner or later come to admit that
it is wrong to do so during the later
years. if the object be the development
of a virile man. To put the matter in
very simple terms, it seemed to me on
the occasion of my former visit-and
the impression was confirmed during
my recent visit--that the boy in Amer
lea is not being brought up to punch
another boys head, or to stand having
his own punched in healthy and
proper manner; that there is a strange
and indefnable air coming over the
man: a tendency toward a common, if
I may call it, sexless tone of thought.
But if co-education be bad in itself,
it becomes infinitely worse when the
teachers are mostly women; they
should rather be men mostly. No
where is the claim made on behalf Of
women TO equality with men put for
ward so strongly as it is in the United
States. Nowhere, 1 believe, would it
be found to be more disproved in prac-
tice If carefully inquired into. Women
have sought in recent times to prove
that they can compete successfully with
men in every field; they claim to have
succeeded, but the claim cannot be al
lowed, I think. They have shown
what it was unnecessary to show-that

Representative Littlefleld tells OF a
bad quarter of an hour" he recently
experienced in New York. He was on
his way homo from Washington, &C
companied by his wife. They stopped
over in New York for a few hours,
ead. having completed their shopping,
they stepped into a restaurant for o
light lunch before going to their train
When they had finished, and the wait
err had presented a check for sixty
cents, Mr.. Littleheld felt for his
pocketbook. 1t was gone, and not a
cent did either of them have. He
tried to telephone to friends whose
places of business were in that section
of the city, but it was a public holiday
and none of them were in. He told
the cashier his situation, explained
who he was and how he came to be
there without money. The cashier
was glad to see him, etc. But that
made no di7erence-he would not
charge any more on that account; the
lunches were sixty cents, and hurry
uD, please. Mr.. Littlefield offered to
leave his watch as surety. but the
cashier had no use for 1t and wanted
the change. Finally, leaving Mrs. Lit
tlef1eld as security during his temper
airy absence, he went out and found
a pawnbroker and spouted his val
liable gold watch for $40 and cleared
up the difficulty. Fortunately the rail-
road tickets were safe and they got
home without further adventure. La

pocketbook and its contents intact, 1t
having been found by a New Jersey
man in the car, and returned to the

Put Himself in Pawn.

While George Frederick Cooke was

he was dunned for $500 one afternoon
by a creditor too strenuous to be put
off.

led the way to a ne%ighboring pawn
brokers' shop.

pawn" he said. Lock me up in a
closet. Don't let me out. Give this
man the ticket. Now"-to the credi-

him that George Frederick Cooke Is
locked up here in pawn for $500.
Don't be uneasy. In an hours time
the curtain must ring up. You'll get
your money"
He did get it, and when the excited
manager-his audience waiting
drove furiously to the pawn-shop he
found Cooke locked up safely behind
the counter sound asleep, and-being
locked up--sober and ready for work.

1t Is q mistake to assume that ply

ly every one. In the absence of a cork
screw the blades are inserted into the
mouth of the bottle between the cork
and the inner surface of the bottles
neck. The two blades occupy opposite
positions, and, then by giving each one
a twist the cork can generally be lifted
out. This method is probably not more
popular, for the reason that it some
times results d~isastrously to the knives,
for in the hands of an awkward person
it is an easy thing to break them.
A recent inventor has, however, util-
lied this principal for a cork extraction,
which is shown in the accompanying
cut. 1t will be readily seen how the
two prongs car take the place of the
knife blades. 1t is said that it is only
necessary to thrust these points be-
tween the cork and the bottle, and
then to withdraw them again and the
cork will follow them.-Philadelphia

Lodaepole Pine.

The lodgepole pine derives its name
from the fact that the Indians used
the slim trunks of its saplins as sup
ports for their wagons. 1t is found

throughout southern Montana, Wyo-
ming, Colorado, and also In Utah and

soils tdo thin and poor for other
trees, and thrives particularly on what

has been cleared off by fire. The wood
