A new census bulletin shows that the
number Of manufacturing establishments
in this country increased only per cent
from 1900 to 1904, while the capital in
creased Al per cent. An interesting COM
parison is made between the iron indus
try in this country and England. Al
though England has 1862 furnaces at work
and the United States 1913, still almost
half as much more product is credited to
the American industry. Another economic
effect is said to be the steadying Of prices.

DEcADENCE OF GREEK DUE TO TEACHERS.
BY Andrew Lang.

The educational trouble about the classics
is really an affair of the history of learning,
and ought to be looked at in a historical light.
If, as is claimed, boys end in knowing neither
Greek nor Latin, that has always been so. In
the enormous majority of cases boys have not
learned Latin, or Greek, or anything else, ex-
cept read. ng. writing and a little arithmetic.
