"And have kept the promise?' Loder
spoke at random. Her manner and her
words had both affected him. There
was a sensation Of unreality in his
brain.
"Yes," she answered. 81 always

GAS she spoke a sudden realization
OF the effort she was making struck
upon him, and with it his scorn of

she said. II think I'll go now. You

she smiled slightly, at the same time
extending her hand. The gesture was
quite friendly, but in Loder's eyes it
held relief as we'll as friendliness. and
when their hands met he noticed that
her fingers barely brushed his.
He picked up her cloak and carried it
across the room. AS he held the door
open b. laid it quietly across her arm.
"Ill think over what you've said" he
repeated.
Again she glanced at him as if sus-

despise your opportunities, and 1 sup

said. That's the way with men and
women. Good night" With another
faint smile she passed out into the cor

Loder waited until he heard the outer
door close, then be crossed the room
t%houghtfully and dropped into the
chair she had vacated. He sat for a
time looking at the hand her fingers
had touched. Then he lifted his head
with a characteristic movement.
"By Jove," he said aloud, show cor

I'VE have today great many more
elective courses of study than we need
and we have multiplied them without
any definite principle or clear under
standing OF the purpose for which the
elective system exists. Its true object
is TO find out what lines of work boy
is good for. To do this 1t is not neces
sary to have as many different studies
as there are different kinds of human
interest. 1t is not true that each pupil
cna be appealed to by some one sub
ja-ct and that one only. There are three
well defined types OF mind-the scien
tlfic, the literary ana the practical. II
you have arranged your courses so that
you can find out to which Of these
types a pupil belongs and teach him
certain subjects by method that suits
him. you have done all that is needed
The work of the school will be moro
efficiently and economically accom-
plished IL this adaptation is made with
few subjects instead Of great
many"
