WHAT'S THE USE?

The state superintendent of public
instruction of Illinois, in lecture be-
fore a Chicago club, has declared him
self in favor of introducing into the
public school curriculum course in
courtship. Apparently existing meth
DDS OF lovers and sweethearts, heroes
and heroines, men and maids, do not
suit him. But hear him:
"Why do We spend years and mill
lions with our children instructing
them in theoretical studies and turn
away entirely from the things that
are closest to the life the child will
live after school days?
al have seen this done in country
schools. 1t can be done feasibly and
beautifully. / have seen children as
Priscilla, Miles Standish and John
Alden going through the courtship
without trace of embarrassment or
laughter.
THE teached asked the children
which was the better lover and made
| them tell her why one was better
That boy will know how to go about
lit when he wants girl to marry him.
I think he'll'g her, too"
To the academician the words OF
the Illinois savant may sound pretty
we'll. The idea that wooing should
be made poetic, artistic and literary
has much to commend 1t. That good
grammar should be used Is, indeed,
desirable. But as TO introducing the
course into the public schools, what's
the use? The history of the world,
Experiences OF human beings and OBJ.
servation in general convince us that
men and maids get along all right
with the present system. Somehow
wooing comes natural to them. and
they manage It without studying 1t as
they do geography and Sanscrit. No
doubt, moreover, the natural way Is
the best way. since It is very apt Ia
/ Mt the case. II Is less apt to
be pure artifice and trickery than
,school-taught wooing might be. Since
then, the old way answers the pur-
pose. what's the use OF adding to the
burdens of pupils and thereby, per-
haps. render unpopular game de
lserving the highest popularity
What's the use of giving up system
that has stood nobly the test of prac'

Frankfort, KY, Nov. $50 many
applications for pardons from rela-
tives and friends OF convicts In the
two Kentucky penitentiaries have
been received during the past few
days that Governor Beckham issued
proclamation today to the effect
that he would receive no more appli-
cants in person or hear oral state
ments for pardons. Since the cleo
ton the governor has been besieged
by friends and relatives of criminals
seeking to have them released from
prison, it evidently being the belief
OF people of the state that the chief
executive devoted the hast few days
of his term Of Office in hearing APP
peals and granting pardons.

otherwise would be lost to themselves

Necessarily all the funds, they can
