Socialist Convention.

day. The first session, which lasted
from noon until nearly evening, devel.
oped indications OF clash between
city Socialists and Socialists of the az.
ricultural class, and already the line
OF cleavage appears to be sharply
drawn. The net results Of the session
were: A refusal to permit the women
delegates to control a majority of the
committee on the rights of women with
regard to the Socialist movement: a
refusal TO name committee to discuss
immigration, and fight lasting
through three ballots on the question Of
proposed overtures to the farmers and

American educational Methods.

Here is another tribute to the value
Of American educational methods. In
a paper read by Sir William Henry
Preece. formerly president of the In
stitution of Civil Engineers, before the
Royal Society of Arts in London, the
speaker mentioned the difficulty If not
impossibility OF making a comparison
between English and American meth
ods, owing to the fact that the Ameri.
can boy possesses "the energy and
smartness OF new race: the Euro
pean boy mentally is two years behind
him" This explained the difference in
curricula and examination papers
But it is American adaptation to these
different conditions which accounts for
the success of educational. methods
here. Still further testimony to the
efficacy Of American ideas is found in
the proposition from Germany that the
conversational style Of teaching Ian
guages be put into practice by an ex
change of American and German pro
fessors, the American professors in
structing German students by this
method. and vice versa. German edu
Gators are alive to the practical de
mands of the times, and appear to de
rive much inspiration from the United
States.

The interest which Germany has
shown in the matter Of canal construc-
ton and the enterprise which Is pro-

terways have been mentioned repeat
edly. Now comes the announcement
that Bavaria is preparing to provide
itself with deep canals that will enable

the larger bodies as will constitute a
connecting link In traffic between the
North sea and the Black sea. In a
word. Bavaria is ambitious to become
a maritime state. There is strong be-
lief that such canal system will
bring enormous benefit to the agricul.
tural and manufacturing industries of
the kingdom. and the plans in contem.

What is fame? A Cleveland school
ma am recently got columns of space
in the aggregate in the associated
press dailies of the entire country,
because she found a mouse confined
under her belt. The details are
tragic: Riding on a car from Lo-
rain to Cleveland Miss Elizabeth
Tristram felt something crawling
about inside her dress. With a
Shrek she clutched at her side and
was Mortified when her hand closed
over the animal. Miss Tristram con-
fded her predicament to compan-
ions, but none was brave enough to
aid her." Whether the police or the
militia were called out, or whether
the mouse was able to make safe
retreat, is left to be told in a future
telegram. But the incident re-
minded us of similar episode in the
Redwood Falls schools, wher a ten
year old miss felt something crawl

squelched it'll with firm grip, not
making any disturbance but waiting
until recess to get rid of the little
