nomenon has existed than the spread Of
Christian Science ana the unaccount-
able voracity with which people have
seized upon this new religion. The Ques-

founder will cause a widespread distrust
Of many OF its tenets.

Culture for Young America.

One value of the modern public
school is generally overlooked. 1t is
that it carriA the pleasures of art
into the life of every pupil of ordi-
nary intelligence. Graduates from
our Washington schools, for ex-
ample, are given the essentials TO
enjoy not literature alone, but music
and painting as well. And this great
benefit is obtained without sacrific-
ing a whit of the schools efficiency
in teaching the three RS.
The old objection to such instruc-
tion for the masses" was that it
bred discomfort. Only the rich could
buy paintings and only the weI-to-
do could go to concerts. The trag-
edy which underlies culture when
the means are lacking to indulge it,
is well described in Hawthorne's
''Blithedale Romance"
But today there is no such trag-
edy, and the objection is without
foundation in reason. Public art
galleries, inexpensive magazines.
prints sold as low as a penny. carry
good painting into the poorest
homes. In Washington, recitals Of
every class are open 10 the school
girl with a quarter, and bands which
meet the standards of good orches-
tral performances enIiyen the sum
mer with free concerts in the parks.
\ happening on one of the river
boats not long ago revealed unex-
pectedly how this training of our
schools strikes in.
Say, May!" exclaimed a typical
American boy of eighteen, lets
sing that chorus we learned at the
close of school"
"D'you mean The Pilgrims
Chorus from Tonhowzer?" uueried
just as typical an American girl Of
about the same age. Say, aia't it
a peach?"

Commissioner Macfarland, like his two

Honesty as a Sensation.

Where does the honest mans hon
esty cease? Is it honesty to steal
from nobody but the Government?
Seth Low, former president of
Columbia University and former
mayor OF New York, has answered
these questions with a check for
$4,000. In his case money has
talked, and talked out loud.
Through misinfOrmation he had
believed for three years that a mort
gage for 100000 was exempt from
personal tax assessment. He dis
covered the other day that this is
a mistake. OF his own motion he
has now sent the comptroller Of
New York n check for the full
nmOunt OF the tax-S27, ,397. 7.26.
For some reason this act has
proven a sensation. When analyzed
that reason is not complimentary
TO the American people. It is that
the voluntary payment of $4,000 to
the Government merely because it
is due is not what they expect from
leading citizens. Rather, they have
been led to anticipate a long fight in
the courts or no effort to collect.
with no hint of payments made
without compulsion.
They viii not be fully awake TO
honesty until they realize that steal
ing from the Government is as evil
as stealing from the neighbors.

FRANCE TAKING TO LAGER BEER.

It is surprising TO hear that France is
preparing to claim this year the world $
record for the consumption OF beer. Ac-
cording to popular impression, everyone
in Paris drinks absinthe. everyone in
the south light wine. and everyone in
Normandy cider. But such generaliza-
tions are often deceptive-Rot all Eng
lishment, for example. live mainly on
roast beef. Travellers who have revisited
France have noted during the last ten
years a notable change IN the consump-
tion OF beer and also of the supply OF
the beverage at a low price. Wine IS
in its nature expensive: as a cheap
drink l. is almost universally either doc
tored or made outright in the laboratory.
IL Is the special merit of beer that Il
can be supplied pure and wholesome at
a low price. and If people are TO drink
at all, the growing popularity of beer is
perhaps not bad thing.
