child study and EdueatIon.

SAhbS N-S-Nl
Chicago Record.Herald.
In this day Of juvenile courts, vaca-
ton schools, Fairgrounds movements
and congresses on school hygiene 1t
will surprise no thoughtful man to
hear that in Paris one of the most
eminent of the French psychologists,
Prof. Alfred Binet, has established a
remarkable laboratory for the sclen,
tlfc study Of the physical, mental
and moral value or children. The
study is not academic; it has prac-
teal pedagogical side, and those who
are connected with the laboratory be-
lleve that every great educational cen.
ter ought to have similar institu-
ton, in order to separate the normal
from the more or less abnormal chill
dren and to adapt the courses and
methods of the schools to the respec.
tive capacities Of the several classes
Of pupils.
Take children at any given age, and
an examination of them will reveal
the existence Of certain average
type as well as of superior and infe.
rlor types. Some children at - have
the development Of the average child
Of nine years Of age. Some are ma.
turer and can easily accomplish tasks
that are beyond the power of the
average child. Again, examination
reveals differences of nervous organi.
zation. capacity and temperament,
and throws much light on fitness for
these and unfltness for those studies.
These are things which modern edu-
Gators, recognize as valuable. Special
schools are now established for alb,
normal and maniIestly weak and unde.
veloped children, but much more re.
mains to be done in the direction CT
separation, of adaptation, of safe.
guarding health, of deciding on prop.
er discipline and other treatment, aud
this can only be done under the guild.
ance of science-the science Of expe.
rlmentaI and practical psychology.

ELECTRIC PoLIsHER.
Machine Which viii Do Rapid and
Very Fine Work.

The increasing demand for high
grade floor polishing has resulted in
the introduction of an electric ma
chine which is very efficient for use
on large surfaces OF tile, mosaic and
other floors of similar construction.
A six-wheel electric floor surfacer,
all OF the driving parts of which are
completely enclosed and protected
from grit and water is now manufac-
tured. The electric motor is OF seven
and half horsepower capacity. The
machine, explains Technical World
Magazine, is designed to be self-pro-
polling in either direction It's rate
OF speed is 10 feet per minute II
is operated from a seat at the front.
The six grinding heads are 10 inches
in diameter and run at a speed of 200
revolutions per minute. The electri-
cally driven grinders are so arranged
as TO cover track of 80 inches In
width and the wheels are fitted with
rubber tires to prevent marring or
scratching the floor. The weight of
the machine complete with it's equip.
ment of switching apparatus, steer.
ing gear and reversing handles to
gether with the necessary starting
rheostats and other electrical appar.
atus for controlling the electric mech
anism, is about one ton.

A PIunderlnu PROGRAM.

Senator Allison declares the tariff
will have to be revised by its friends,
If the people desire revision, thus
keeping strictly within the declara-
ton of the Republican party. He
then says this revision, probably may
take the form Of a maximum and
minimum system" And then he de-
clares that, minimum duty rates
should be a reasonable protective tar
in, affording full protection to Ameri-
can workmen and American manufac-
turers without imposing any hard
ships on the consumer"
How Senator Allison expects to ar
range a tariff the minimum rates OF
which will afford full protection to
American manufacturers without i'm
posing any hardships on the con.
sumers" will be an interesting prob.
lem. The two interests-the trusts
and the people-are divided by a
great gulf which the Allison plan can.
not bridge. On the one side are the
manufacturers who are mostly com
bined into trusts and are protected in
charging unreasonable profits On the
other hand are the consumers who are
feeling the burden of trust high
prices, which with many, whose in.
comes have not advanced with the
enormous increase in the cost of liv.
ing, enforces pinching economy.
This practice Of Senator Allison is a
fair sample OF the Republican plan of
postponing the reform OF the tariff so
that the trusts may continue to
flourish at the expense Of the con.
sumers and the Republican politicians
continue TO fry the fat out of them TO
be used as campaign funds to keep
themselves in power. a fine program,
surely.
