PRESIDENT PoRFIRIo DIAZ'S VIEWS ON EDUCATION

One of the leading editorials in a late number of the Western Journal Of Education. the official organ of the department of public instruction of the state of California, places before the public the presidents views on edu- cation in Mexico, being based, it is announced. on the editors interview. The editorial is as follows:
 We sat in the palace of Chapults- pee with the beautiful city overshad owed by it's incomparable mountains, in the distance, listening like worship full attention to the story of Mexico which the great president of the Re public told us. Ours was an uncom- mon priyilege-to hear the account of a great nation from the man who made it great.
 Education is our foremost interest" he said. We regard it as the founda- ton of our prosperity and the basis of our very existence. For this req son we are doing all that we can to strengthen it's activity and increase it's power. I have created public school for boys and another for girls in every community in the Republic. Education is so much national inter est that we have established a minis. try of public instruction to watch over it. We have learned from Japan what we indeed knew before. but dif not realize quite clearly, that educa, ton is the one thing needfui to peo pie; if they but possess 1t, all other distinctions are added unto them-'
 Tt was such convictions as these that made Alfred the wisest, greatest and best of English kings. Such sen timents as these made Charles the greatest of rulers of the Franks. h. deed, it is not unfair to say that the real greatness of any ruler or leader of men may be measured by his activity in working for the spread of knowl- edge among the people who are under his care. Measuring by this standard President Diaz belongs with the great est of nation-makers. Education has been for many years the subject of the most serious consideration on the part of his government. It has not been easy to give it the place and power which 1t now has there. Con servative ideas prevailed in the land so long that it was hard to overcome them. But, thanks to Mexico's great president. and to the very able com pany of men whom he has assembled about him to administer the affairs of

pleased with the eager and intelligent children, but we were equally pleased with the teachers, who seem to us to be equal to any company of teachers anywhere. The school work is ex- cellent, and worthy of careful study. Mexico can teach us many things in education. First, that the chief na- tional interest needs a cabinet of ficer of the highest rank to conserve it, and it deserves the constant sup port and encouragement of the chief executive of the nation. She main tains a great national conservatory of music, instruction in which Is free to her people; so might we. Education is compulsory in her jails; so should it be in ours. English is taught in her schools, Spanish should be taught in ours, at least in our high schools. Morals and patriotism are taught in her schools and taught effectively; we can learn how from her. Some forms of manual work are taught much better there than here. We ought to enter into closer educational relations with the people of Mexico. We should know more of their country and their work. and should know the people who are doing 1t. We should have courses on the history and insti- tutions of Mexico in our universities Mexican boys and girls should come to our colleges and universities and American boys should go to her com mercial, agricultural and engineering schools. Mexican professors should exchange chairs with American pro fessors and American teachers should teach English in the schools of Mex leo, while Mexican teachers should be sent for to teach Spanish in our high schools and colleges. They sometimes talk about the Yankee Perir' down there, but the Yankee Peril will not menace them or us if we establish neighborly relations with them, as we should.

the nation, liberal and progressive ideas prevail and education is now firmly established and uniform sys- tenn obtains throughout the entire country. The grades of schools, the general plans of study, the courses in which subjects are divided, the meth cd of teaching employed, etc, were fixed by the deliberations of two na- tional congresses of education. A fel- low countryman of PestaloZzi intro duced normal schools into Mexico; now they are found in eight different states of the Republic. Mexico has 2 compulsory education law which is being enforced. too, for in his mes sage to congress on April l. 1904, President Diaz reported that last year 5000 parents or guardians were fined for neglect, after being admon- ished once to send to school the min ors for whose education they are re- sponsible."
 Education is compulsory in soldiers
 barracks. iails. penitentiaries and in stitutions of correction, also. The
 general plan for obligatory elementary education includes practical morals,
 civic instruction, the national lan- guage, arithmetic, natural science, the history of Mexico, practical geome-
 try, drawing, singing, gymnastics, and
 military drill, and for girls, sewing, etc The study of English is eompul-
 sory iii certain grades, and on this Ioint the president of the Republic
 said now that we are teaching Eng ! lish in the schools of Mexico the peo- pie of the United States should recip-
 rocate by teaching Spanish in their schools." When one remembers that there are only two American Ian
 guages, English and Spanish, and that Spanish is the language of as large a part of the western world as English | is, he cannot fail to realize that it
 must receive more attention at our hands. In addition to her system of
 elementary schools, Mexico has a sys- tenn of superior and higher schools,
 national conservatory of music, a school of arts, a great school of engin-
 eering, and schools of jurisprudence
 and medicine. A great national uni
 versity Is being established in the cap ital.
 Thanks to the kindness of the able
 minister of public instruction. and to the untiring courtesy of his assistants, it was our privilege to visit typical
 schools of all the different grades in
 the Federal District. We were sur
 prised and delighted with what we saw in them. One could not but be

Doctors Must Know Tastes.

do doctors know how their own
medicine tastes:" was a question put
to group of physicians.
ITO be sure" said one. but we have
hard work to convince our patients
that we do. If you only knew how
this beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you
wouldn't ask me to take it, is the
complaint they make when dosed with
an especially disagreeable concoction.
And they are hard headed people, too,
who say that, people who are by no
meas raving in delirium. No matter
how sincerely l may protest it is hard
to persuade them that do know how
the stuff tastes just as well as they
do.
"'How did you find out about til? is
one of their trump questions. You
have never been laid up with all the
diseases in the dictionary. How did
you learn what the different remedies
taste likeT
at never occurs to the average pa
tient that tasting drugs is Il part of
medical students education, and that
no man is qualified to practice until he
has learned the flavor Of the medicines

John Stuart Mill was an unassuming
philosopher. He strove to give his wife
the credit of his works. and he was new
er pretentious in claiming precedence
among men, Miss Cobbe in her Life"
relates this anecdote of Mr.. Mills mod
esty:
She was talking to him one day about
the difficulty of doing mental work
when disturbed by the music of street
bands and instanced the case of a gen.
tleman who was thrown into frenzy
by their noise.
ut does not interfere with my work"
said Mr. Mill.
Miss Cobbe remarked that Herbert
Spencer was much annoyed by such
disturbance.
"Ah. yes. of coursew rejoined the
modest man. Writing Spencer's works
one must have quiet"
He was so unconscious of the free
dom from disturbance required to write
his own System of Logic" and 'Po-
litical Economy" that he would allow.

So! Just think, dear. Papa has gone
downtown now, and how would you

Mystery of Lost Kerchiefs.

OBVIOUSLY there is vast difference
between the lost and found columns of
the handkerchief market" said the wo-
man shopper. Everybody loses hand
kerchiefs, but who finds them?
"T lose a handkerchief every time
go downtown is the familiar plant Of
women, but who ever heard Of one
saying, I find a handkerchief every
time go DOWNTOWN Nobody says it,
because nobody does such a thing, and
somewhere about town many yards of
linen and lace done up in handkerchief
form are blown about daily. seeking
owners. Eventually they are picked
up by the street sweeper but by that
time they are so tattered and soiled
that he can scarcely recognize them as
handkerchiefs. Anyway. not being a
philosopher. he would not stop to Won
der how they happened to be there. 1t
would be interesting. however, if he or
somebody else would figure out why,
in view Of the many handkerchiefs
that are lost. so few are found."- New

A very eminent London surgeon. one
of the lights of the profession, one day
observed gentleman knocked down
by a runaway horse. He went to his
aid and found he had broken his leg,
1t was only simple fracture. but the

The surgeon used his umbrella as a
splint and with his own hands borrow
ed handkerchiefs, bandaged the limb
tightly, put the patient in a cab and
drove to the nearest hospital. There
they were received by a young medical
student.
You've bandaged this pretty WELL"
said the youth patronizingly.
Not at all, said the other.

some ambulance class. They say a

Big Growth of NIilIet.

The millets have made tremendous
growths at the experiment station in
the upper peninsula of Michigan when
ever sown. They will mature in short
season, and. although they are easily
killed by the frosts, they grow so rap
idly that a good harvest may be ex-
pected when they are sown in May or
even as late as the LIST of June. When
sown the 4th of June the Hungarian
millet was harvested the Sd of Septem'
Der, yielding nearly four tons to the
acre. Sown again June 8, 1904, it was
harvested Sept. IA, yielding something
over three tons per acre. The fact that
the plots at the station are exceedingly
small must be kept in mind in consider
ing these Yields.

A Chinaman.s Bath.

Speaking of cleanliness in China Rev.
q. ]. Hardy says in his "John China
man at Home:" Before the Chinese
were prohibited from emigrating to the
Philippine Islands the fare from Annoy
to Manila was for them $40 first class,
SIS second. Those in the latter class
had to take bath before landing. so
In order to escape this terror many
used to travel first class who would
otherwise have gone second. A whole

Korenn Children.

The children of Korea are extremely
quaint and pretty, especially when only
a few years old. At New Years they
are generally dressed up in brand new
frocks, and though, according to our
ideas Of taste, we should not give vel
low sleeves to bright red jacket and
wear this over green frock, must
say that somehow or other it looks all
right there and relieves the monotony
Of the sempiternal white garments. The

THE CITY MAN.
His Lot In Life Compared With That
of the Farmer.

According to the National Magazine.
''n IN in the cities work twice as hard
as the farmers, and they get few or no
holidays. Thousands and thousands Of
professional men, clerks and men in
small business enterprises delve and
toll their entire lives away and at the
end are carried out to the cemeteries
without having had any more leisure
or enjoyment in their lives than horse
on a treadmill The rut they toll along
in is as narrow as q case knife" This
is not the farmers view of the city
man, whom he sees only during vaca-
ton, when the city man is taking a
brief and much needed rest. The farm
er sees him sporting his glad rags"
and mistakenly imagine &him to be all
the year round only an idle butterfly,
consuming the produce of the horny
handed son Of toll. The truth, it is
held, is that the city man, as rule, is
the harder worker and gets much less
enjoyment out of life. lie lSngs for the
rural scenes and occupations of the
farmer; his dearest hope is to get back
to the country to spend his last years.
a few of the city folks make big lot
of money and get their follies and
amusements in the newspapers, but the
great majority of city toilers live a
very monotonous and stupid as well as
a very laborious and poverty stricken
life. The farmer, it is concluded, has

pointments. The contented farmer is

SLAVERY IN CHINA.
Savage Cruelty Melted Out For the
Most Venial OTenses.

Savage Cruelty Melted Out For the
Most Venial ORenses.
Says an editorial in the Peking
Times: THE position of the slave girl
in Chinese home is very hard one as
a rule. These slaves are generally the
property of the wife, and no one inter-
feres with the mistress in her treat
ment of the poor little things, who will
as often as not be subjected to the
most savage cruelty for most venial of
lenses. \ few weeks ago we recall a
case of great hardship being brought
INTO the mixed court, Shanghai, in
which Il small slave girl had been gag
ged with piece of iron and severely
beaten because, when half starved, she
helped herself to some scraps of food.
"Our attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emanate from a
house near Canton road and are said to
proceed from little slave girl who for
some reason is beaten almost daily
with a thick knotted rope, but for what
reason is unknown.
Our informant thinks a word in
public, showing that the incident has
been noticed, may suffice to check the
cruelty without lodging a formal COM
plant with the municipal police, which
might make matters worse for the poor
little sufferer in the long run"
