the bitter cry of the children, dwarfed and
stunted by long hours of hard toll, touches
a chord in their hearts that instantly
spends.
Women serving on school boards bring
into the school room the motherly and sis
terly element; in some neighborhoods they
have done away with desks that were too
high or too low, for the comfort of pupils;
they have embelished school rooms with
treasures of art, and have done very much
for the betterment of light and ventilation,
fighting also with some success the over
crowding that is the bane of the public
school in some sections of the larger cities.
They have likewise introduced vital re-
forms in the management of prisons and
have separated or induced the separation
of child culprits from older and hardened
criminals. In some jails and houses of de-
tention, through the efforts of women,
schools have been organized where boys
and girls, unfortunately arrested and held
for trial, may be daily taught.
Accepting this presentation of the situa-
ton as in the main true to fact, we can
but modify the opening statement of this
bit of talk that women have less public

Should Not Be Genius.

From the London Mail.
Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguished
sergeant surgeon TO the king, in his rec
torial address to the students of Aberdeen
University discussed the factors which APP
peared to make for professional success.
Genius in It's crude or native state was not
wanted in the profession of medicine.
Genius in a physician would be apt to
give fiippancy, instantaneous diagnoses,
the detection of disease by instinct, and
attributed to the charlatan. In like man
ner, brilliancy in a surgeon was a quality
from which he might well pray TO be saved.
Health, serviceable knowledge sympathy
and honesty claimed substantial positions
as factors which made for distinction in a
professional career

movements, new schemes and new ideas

William Field, the picturesque member of
parliament for one of the divisions of Dub
lin. ireland must soon emerge from her
industrial obscurity and take her place
again among the most active centers OF
commerce in Europe"
Prof Mahaffy's statement some time ago
that the Irish were not musical people is
somewhat cOunteracted by the discovery
that both Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth
considered them highly cultivated in that
direction. 1t was Elizabeth who first used
the harp of Ireland on one of her great
seals, while the harp In the royal arms was
placed there by command of Henry I'm ap-
probation OF lreland's great proficiency in
music"
When this discovery was brought under
the notice OF the professor by an accom-
plished Irish musician recently he exclainl-
ed: My countrymen are quite welcome to
the patronage of the distinguished person
ages named, but their appreciation OF the
music OF the period does not alter my
opinion"
Yes" retorted the musician. even Hem
ry and Elizabeth saw something to admire
in the Irish, but Prof. Mahaffy's mission on
this earth appears to be to disagree with
every one who cannot read Greek"
Since the professor made that statement
with regard to Irish musical matters he
has been the object of much annoyance by
the playing of tin whistles and other musi-
cal instruments of torture by some OF his
own pupils at Trinity College.
The one CLEAN of hope in the Official re-
turn on emigration just issued Is that there
was further slackenfng In the tide that
flowed from Ireland last year. But unfor-
tunately, the exodus continues. Since 1851,
when the collection of the returns was COM
menced. no fewer than 4,02S $50 persons OF
Irish birth have left their native land the
majority to settle in the United States. No
country in the world could suffer such a
drain, in proportion to population, without
feeling its whitening effects. In 1871 the
Irish people formed nearly a third of the
population Of the united kingdom. In 1901
when the last census was taken there, they
were scarcely an eighth, and since then
the disproportion has become greater. But

In this respect, preferring rather that his

reason to thoroughly rest himself and thus
be in his best form when hostilities begin.
