to the next column behind.
Under the new plan, what was be-
fore solid phalanx, will be broken
up into three separate columns, each
marching at dlherent pace. a pupil
in the formosJ column lnding the
pace too rapid, will be dropped back
to the next column, but short space
behind him. And, likewise, a pupil in
one OF the slow-moving columns, show
ing his ability TO outstrip his fellows,

umns ahead of h.n.
TWO Examples.
One or two concrete examples will
make the workings of this plan per-
fectly clear A few days ago a boy
appeared at School No. l and asked
to be examined for entrance into
grade 6. Now, this boy was in the
fifth grade last year, but by virtue OF
much ''hooke and little IS ckness"
he managed to let his classmates
leave him benlnd. He was really out
of school two or three years on ac-
count of ill-health, but now he is as
robust as a boy can be-so robust
that he is sure he wants to be a oco-
motive engineer. He was not pre-
pared to enter the sixth grade, but
when he was told of this group of
pupils who would finish the fifth grade
and do part of the sixth all in one
year, and that he might join them
he was happy Under the old plan he
might have been allowed to try the
sixth grade, where he would soon
have become discouraged. Or he might
have been sent back to spend whole
year in the fifth grade. Who knows
but that a plan such as is now Of
fered him may mean his mental sal
walton?
Another boy, who had failed in the
fourth grade, applied for examination
for entrance into the fifth grade. The
failure of this boy was not due to
Irregular attendance nor to lack O.
Intelligence. Ii was due simply to
the fact that his mind refused to
act quickly. He could understand all
that his classmates could understand,
and perhaps much that they could not
understand, if he were given time
enough. For him and for those like
him this slow moving section will
mean much.

Wrong Answers.
There were a good many wrong
answers this week. In a ew cases,
they were wrong by having one of
the gentlemen in the boat with an
other genfleman's servant, when no
gentleman was to be at anytime with
any servant unless his own was there.
In two cases, children had a gentle
man starting out from one side OF
the river when they had already le--
him on the other side, and in the ma
jority of wrong answers 1t was be-
cause some gentleman was aeft on
one side of the river without his own
servant and with a servant belonging
to someone else.

DOCTOR EXPLAINS
His Article in the Medical Magazine
About Coffee.

One of the most famous medical
publications in the United States is the
"Alkalofdal Clinic" in a recent num-
on coffee by a progressive physician
and surgeon was published. In ex-
planning his position in the matter this
physician recently said:
In the article in question I really
touched but lightly upon the merits of
Postum Food Coffee. I have had sew
eral cases of heart trouble, indigestion
and nervousness where a permanent
cure was effected by merely using Pos
tum in place of coffee without any
other treatment.
III my own family 1 have used Pos
tam for three years and my children
actually cry for it and will not be sat
isfied with any other beverage. Indeed
they refuse to eat until they have had
the customary cup of Postum and as it
is rebuilder and does nothing but
good am only too glad to let them
have it.
ITO get the best results we boil the
Postum at least 20 minutes and it is
then settled by adding a little cold wa
ter. then the addition of fresh cream
makes beverage I now prefer to the
very best coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co. Battle Creek Mich.
Authorities are agreed that Postum
is a wonderfully quick and sure re-
builder. Ten days trial in place of
coffee proves It.

Frederick L. Colver, president of

said yesterday in an interview:
'If the recommendations of the
commission are adopted, the position
taken by the government in the last
hundred years will be reversed and
tionized.
Ever since the foundation of the
government congress has encouraged
by legislation the distribution of good
literature. If it accepts the measures
proposed it will undo all its work in
this line. 1t is safe to say that if the
changes proposed by the commission
are ever put in operation, three

TAKE DESPERATE CHANCES.
Some of the Risks That Prisoners Will
Dare for Freedom.

I'm the mind of every convict the
idea of freedom stands first. This was
proved a little while ago at Dart
moor. when a man named Searle, who
had served the greater part of his SEN
tence and would in the ordinary
course of things have regained his lib
erty in a comparatively short time,
made q sudden dash through the mist

hours of cold and hunger in the soak

known his chance of getting clear
away was not one in ten thousand. and
though he was we'll aware that when
he was rec2 ptured he would suffer
severely and lose the ordinary remis-
sion of sentence.
In May last the German steamer
Willehad brought back to Sydney
story which we'll illustrates the des-
perate risks that man will run for the
sake of freedom. The Willehad had
just returned from the Bismarck
islands, and there she discovered, in a
remote part of New Britain, six
French convicts in a deplorable state
of starvation and want. These were
the survivors of eleven men who,
nearly twelve months before, had es-
capped from the French penal settle
ment of New Caledonia on two RATS,
chiefly composed of the slaves of beer
barrels.
