SCHOOL ITEMS.

Quite a large number in the higher
grades escaped final examinations by
keeping their standings up to 10 per
cent and by not having below 75 per
cent i'm any monthly examination. Such
pupils are rejoicing in the two holidays
while their less fortunate comrades are
engaged in writing the tests.
Next Monday will begin the new
semester's work. New classes will be
started in various high school subjects
including Algebra, Botany, English
History, American Literature, etc.
Pupils who are expecting to enter the
ninth grade either this semester or next
September would find next week par
ticularly favorable time to enroll in the
Yale schools. In many instances en-
rolling now would save five months
time for the pupil.

SOMETHING NEW AND NOVEL.

AS man, shoes from whose factory
are sold and worn in our town, and be-
cause he is our brother, we feel cOnsid-
cradle interest i'm the business and pros
perity of Henry ID. Menzies, president
of the MenZies Shoe Company of De
trOit. The business of this plant has
grown TO large proportions and it is
now located on Gratiot Ave. turning
out 1000 pairs of shoes per day. The
company's specialties are elk skin and
work shoes which Mr.. MenZies claims
their success due to, the shape of which
has been his own idea. A novelty
which has lately been introduced into
this factory is a modern cafe which
provides a splendid place for the en-
ployees to get their dinners at cost.
The best of food i'm great variety is
served neatly and well as we ourselves
can testify, having taken two dinners
there OF our way to and from Monroe.
1t is said that there are only two other
shoe manufacturers in the United
States who have established cafes in
their institutions. one being that of
Thos. q. Plant of Boston, who puts out
the queen Quality" shoes. 1t is an
innovation which gives to the numer-
GUS employees comfortable place for
their incoming, besides supplying them
with clean, nutritious food, which Mr..
MenZies sees to is right.
1t takes industry and enterprise to
work a business up 20 the standard
which this one has attained, but the
members of the Menzies Shoe Comp
ady have these attributes and success
is theirs.

 sen.
 University, Alabama, June 2o.--As the General Assembly of the Sum- mer School this morning. MT. Corson. the lecturer for the week. spoke on the subject to teaching pupils to help them selves. The very personal Interest of the talk held the audience thoroughly in touch with the speaker throughout the hour. Moreover. the lecture was enlivened with numerous anecdotes ,ex- tremely apt and amusing. The story of St. Peters demand that the teacher take an examination before being ad- mitteh into the Heavenly Gates seemed to appeal especially to the auditors, most of whom are to be examined at the close of the school term.
 Examinations" said MT. Corson. are a pretty good incentive to study.
 Tt will be a sorry day for the schools and sorrier day for the teacher when examinations are cut out"
 The most important of all influences in training the pupil to do his own work and the best sort of teacher Is the one who always strives to inculcate the idea of self help in the mind of the student. It is entirely wrong to att tempt to make things easy-to rob the pupil of the opportunity of doing some- thing hard. The teachers duty is to reach boys and girls and learn them to do their own work and their own think ing.
 In the country schools, taught by good teachers, are the best conditions in the world for this sort of training. In the first place, because of the large number taught by each teacher, the pupils have to do their own work to a great extent; further, the class of pu- pills in these schools Is generally of a splendid type: lastly. conditions In the country school demand a concentration of mind under the most distracting cir cumstances.
 Mir Corson deccried the tendency toward individual instruction. praising rather the advantages and enthusiasm gained through class spirit and rival ry. Pupils in the Grammar Schools are usually helped too much. while the tendency toward under-help is general ly prevalent in the first year of the High School. Entrance to the High School should be guarded most care fully, and the lower grades should be not merely a hot-house where boys and girls bloom before their time. MT. Cor son spoke very instructively of the danger of the first lesson in the High School as conducted by inexperienced teachers. One of the most pressing needs of secondary education today Is the training of teachers for the High School He also advocated the enrich ing of the course of study more through intensive. thoughtful work than through the needless amplifcation of courses. And self help Is the greatest lesson of all.
