TRANSIT OF MERCURY.
Passes Across Face Of Sun First Time
in Thirteen Years.

Persons who arose early enough this
morning and who provided themselves
with piece of smoked glass. might have
seen little spot travelling across the disc
of the sun. This was Mercury, making
his transit. for the first time in thirteen
years. Ths phenomenon begun at about
o'clock and lasted until half past s. the
weather being clear enough for good OBJ
servations.
Especial interest attaches to the transit
of Mercury since the little planet does not
obey exactly the laws of Newton. and
astronomers hope to find by observations
when it crosses the sun why it runs for
ty-three seconds ahead of it's schedule
every century. One theory is that there
are unseen planets near the sun that at
tract Mercury from its orbit. This theory
is nor accredited. but is held tenable. The
next transit will occur November I. 1914.
The last previous one was in November,
1894.
Tt the naval observatory on George
town Heights four observers were sta
toned at different points to watch the
transit. Conditio were excellent for
observation, and twelve photographs were
taken

Substance of Report.

Prof. Evermann's report set forth that
asked the board for permission to prepare
a tentative plan for eight schools in which
Latin and German should be taught in the
grades, in order to prepare certain pupils
.more readily for college courses in the
higher branches. 1t went on to declare
that although the superintendent had ex-
pressly stated he did not ask for authority
to establish such schools, they had never
theless been establshed-not only eight of
them. but about twenty-and in order OF
bring about the change all sorts of altera-
tons in the courses in the common
branches of education had been made
anG pupils had been transferred to schools
which they did not desire to attend. Moth
ing whatever had been said to the board
of education about these changes, Prof.
Evermann explained
To show that the superintendent's posi-
ton was wrong in the premises Prof.
Evermann read extracts from prominent
educators including President Eliot of
Harvard, on the subject of languages in
the schools. all of which upheld the teach
ing of English. especially In the lower
classes. and condemned the giving of an
excessive amount of time to ancient and
modern foreign languages.
| Prof. Evermann then asked for the
| adoption of resolution "that II Is the
ment at this time Of Latin and German
centers in our graded schools is imprac-
ticable and that the superintendent is

Preference of Parents.

1T would, therefore, not be surprising
If he parents would prefer their children
to take the language whether they really
wanted it or not, rather than send them
to another school. They would try to
make the best of bad situation by ac-
cepting the Hobson's choice of Latin If
in a Latin center. or German if in a Ger
man center. But not every child did SO.
At least 105 children have been trans
ferred to other schools. and at least 81
consented to take the language. although
they did not want 1t, rather than be sent
to other schools.
IT is proposed to give a minimum OF
forty minutes a day. or 200 minutes per
week to these new subjects. To find
time for this requires that the 300 minutes
be taken from the more essential sub
jects of the grades ] am Informed that
1t is proposed to cut geography COM
pIeteIy out of the eighth grade. physiol-
eighth grades. and that the time now
given TO such primary and essential sub
jects as writing, history, arithmetic. Eng
lish and music is to be seriously short
ered. This seems to me little short of
disastrous
If Latin and German are 10 be put in
the grades, Latin and German textbooks
must be provided. but how? The plan
proposes that they shall be bought by
the parents. This I believe to be con-
trary to law. These children are in the
grades; calling them subnigh school
classes is mere subterfuge. The Dis
trict furnishes free textbooks to the
grades. so the books for these rev sub
Jects must be bought by this board.
But there is no money. The appro-
priation given us by Congress is not
nearly sufficient to purchase the readers,
spoilers. arithmettcs. biographies. gram
mars, histories, physio!ogies. music books
and copy BOOKS which We need, I know

Mnrncco,s Sultan a Prisoner.

The sultan of Morocco is a prisoner
in his own palace. He never goes out;
he never rides the streets; he dare not
lead his own troops; in fact. he Is n
figurehead whom the people still recog-
nize as sultan, bit whom they would
really depose were 1t possible to bring
in the pretender. AS ruler he only
exercises his authority over the coast
the large cities and the plains from
whence his troops are drawn. over
the rest Of the country he is simply the
chief. the representative of Islam In
the west. He cannot exact tribute or
taxes. and only in case of n holy war
can he call for the troops. The army
which he has drawn about him and
which Is his only visible claim to
power is a bizarre amalgamation or
recruits from the four corners of his
kingdom. armed indiscriminately with
every model of rife. from the old blum
derbuss to the modern Mauser. To
picture accurately a company of these
soldiers with their weird uniforms
would require a skilled brush. Red
predominates in everything-in the
great saddles formed of an infinite
number Of folded blankets, in the
baggy ZOuave trousers, In the fezes
