MaxweIl's Book Carrying Order.
Superintendent Maxwell of the New
York public schools has advised all
teachers to see that pupils carry their
books on the right side on the even
! days of the month and on the left side
on the odd days of the month, whether
passing to and from their homes or in
changing class rooms, and that the
the minimum. The purpose Of this or
der is ito avoid one cause of spinal
curvature" The newspapers are max
Ing considerable fun of this latest eff
fort to protect the school children from
the effects of bad habits. One paper
says that the next order will require
that chewing gum be munched on diff
ferent sides on different days and that
the hair must be parted in the middle
Or that the sides must be changed on
alternating days.
Better Teaching of Three "R's."
Another interesting test of the pres
ent day methods of public school edu-
cation as compared with the known
results of teaching more than half q
century ago has recently been made
at Cleveland, 0. According to the
School Journal lists Of words and
arithmetic examples contained in the
examina ton papers of the Springfield
(Mass) high school in 1916, which were
submitted to the ninth grade Of the
Springfield school in 1896, have now
been tried in one Cleveland school.
Following is the list of words: Acct
dental, accessible, baptism, chirogra
ply, characteristic, deceitfully, de-
scendent, eccentric, evanescent, fierce
ness, feignedly, ghastliness, gnawed,
heiress, Mysteries, imbecility, incon-
ceivable, inconvenience, inefficient ir-
| resistible. The comparative results
show that the pupils of 1916 answered
406 per cent of the words correctly,
those of 1895 51.2 per cent, while the
Cleveland pupils in this year of grace
spelled 61.2 per cent correctly. In the
case Of the arithmetic papers the per-
centage of correct replies for 1916 was
406, in Springfield last year was 51.2
and in the Cleveland school at the re-
cent test was S7.5.

Moss as a Popular Food.


I Professor Hansteen, chief lecturer of
the agricultural school at Aas, Nor
way, has been conducting experiments
which show that a common greenish
white moss after being subjected to a
chemical process, pressed and cooked
becomes a food of the most delicious
and nutritive character. Because of it's
cheapness he thinks it is destined to
become a popular food for the masses.
He finds that nine ounces of moss,
costing 2 cents, will make a good din
ner for six persons. The substance
can also be ground and used as meal
for breadmaking.

Foreign Secretary Grey, speaking foG

PITTSBURG, Pa, March I'm the
report of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany for the year 1905, President HOf-
stot says that of the cars ordered by
the railroads in 1905, almost fifty per
cent were all steel or steel underframe
construction and that this class of
rolling stock is rapidly becoming the
standard for railroad equipment. Less
than ten years ago the company built
the first allsteel car used in the reg
ular freight traffic, while at the end of
1905 theer were approximately 100000
all steel and steel underframe cars
in use. The all-steel passenger car,
having the geenral endorsement of
both steam and electric lines, should
make its way rapidly into public IA
vor. Works for the construction of
passenger cars separate from the
freight car shops are now almost COM
pleted. and soon will be in actual op-

The report says that the operation
of the forge plants at Allegheny has
been satisfactory, and the difficulties
heretofore experienced in producing
a propre supply of forgings have been
eliminated. The building Of a forge
plant at McKee's Rocks has been or
dered, and this, when finished, will
relieve the forge situation and make
the company Independent OF outside
manufacturers. 1t was decided not re-
new operations in Joliet, ILL.,, but to re-
move all the machinery that could be
profitably employed to Allegheny and
MsKee's Rocks to be used In connec-
ton with the additions and increase the
output of these plants. With these
additions and improvements the Nc
KEGS Rock plant will have its daily
output increased to fifty cars.

ALL BRANCHES OF SERVICE REPRESENTED
COMPRISES SYSTEMATIC DISCUS
SION OF EMPLOYMENT OF
TROOPS IN WARFARE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March q
An interesting series of military lec-
are admitted, has been opened here
and the lectures will be delivered ev-
cry afternoon at the Army War Col
lege in this city. The lectures are de-
livered to the officers detailed for duty
with the college, and one officer rep
resenting each branch of the service in
the war department. They comprise
a systematic discussion of the employ
ment of infantry. cavalry and artillery
and the respective special staff corps
in time of war. together with such
subjects as military fire and the sys-
tenn of communication on the battle
field These lectures have to do with
preparedness for conflict ,and repre-
sent the most expert views obtain
able of the duties of the various
branches Of the military establishment
in the field in the presence of the en-
emy. These comments are influenced
to a great extent by the information
which has been brought from Manchu-
ria by the service observers with the
japanese and Russian troops in the
recent conflict. In many respects the
theories Of the past have been shelved
by reason Of newsequipment and new
methods which were first practically
tested in the battles in Manchuria. 1t
is observed that the experts who rep
resented the various armies are people
who show that their respective
branches are still indispensable In
most engagements and that there is
no form of fighting which can do with
out a given method. The officers who
served as observers in Manchuria. OF
course give an account of their expert
ences, most of them illustrating Their
talks with lantern pictures.
