with Capt. Alfred T. Mahan, the
writer on naval affairs, as his flag
captain.

his admiral with an invitation to dine
with a duke.
Il can't accept this" said Capt.
Mahan, las they forgot to invite you. "
II should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral I'm answer for you"
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
admiral Erben, U. S. navy. regrets
that Capt, Mahan, his flag captain.
cannot accept the invitation of the
Duke of Blank. Capt. Mahan Is on
the sick list"
An hour or so later a messenger
from the duke returned with invita-.
tons for the admiral anG The captain.
Whereupon the admiral wrote again:
admiral Erben accepts with pleas.

EDUCATING Children.

Forcing the youthful mind is n
practice no longer obtaining in schools
of the best standing but not yet OBJ.
solete In many of the common
schools. In schools which represent
the dominant ideas of education to.
day, stimulation, interest, suggestion
prevail, and driving Is avoided. II
there has been some leaning toward
the prosaic, there is now fresh in.
terest in stimulating the emotions.
and a full realization of the need of
many things conventionally not class.
ed among the useful. says Golfers
Weekly. The greatest problem of ed
ucation unsolved to-day relates to
girls. Heretofore their education has
been mere copy of that long ago
established for boys. Some day n
genius will come along and conceive
thoughts that shall form the basis of
an education which shall help girls to
all their best possibilities. without
dissipating their strength on lines of
effort established for natures in some
respects entirely different.
