NEW SCHOOL IDEA
EDUCATION BY HOROSCOPE is
NOW PLANNED.
Matter Has Been Taken Up Serious
Iy in England and a Thorough
Test of Its Possibilities Is
to Be Made.

Education by horoscope for the men,
al development of the young is hav-
ing a remarkable vogue in England.
With the education bill in parliament
exciting discussion among both clergy
and laity, the new idea of arriving at
the mental condition of children
namely, by means of casting horo-
scopes-may be one way of solving
the various problems before tle coun-
try. A new society has come forward
and offered Horoscope Scholarships"
each worth SIS. Strangely enough,
these scholarships, while competitive,
do not depend on the efforts of the
children themselves. Parents who
wish to win SIS horoscope scholar
ship have to fill out a competition
form, giving the name of the child,
date and hour of birth, and where the
birth was registered. The last condi-
tion is essential in order to prevent
parents who may know something of
astrology themselves from taking"
brilliant horoscope from hypotheti
cal date, and thus even doing the stars
out of their job.
The child whose horoscope shows
the most promising future will be
awarded one of the prizes. Each of
the application forms will be turned
over to a. number of "well-known and
cEil1a1 or ho
having the best future" is to be given
the chance, as it were, of living up
to it. For instance, if, among the
competitors, there are any young Ma
poleons, Millions or George Washing
tons, this fact at once will be re-
vealed, and all the budding genius has
to do is simply to bud and the fu-
ture will do the rest.
That the new idea is Catching on"
IN England is demonstrated by the
TACT that hundreds of parents have
gone in for the prize offered. II the
method becomes general, it will save
educational authorities vast deal of
trouble. Instead of worrying with the
mentally deficient, the casting of the
horoscope will show where the short
coming lies, and the child can be dealt
with accordingly. There is no use in
wasting an education fit for Isaac
Newton on child who will never rise
above the mathematical atta!nments
Of Simple Simon, for instance. and so
trouble will be saved all round.
Children who receive the horoscope
prizes are to get the money IN hard
cash" The idea of giving out real
money in connection with these mys-
tical problems is novel one IN itself,
and that alone will account for the i'm
mense popularity of the new scheme.
If mystical money were paid for horo-
scope scholarships, or the children
had to wait until the future corrob-
grated the predictions Of the star
gazing experts, very little interest
would be taken in the matter. The
scholarships are to be given on very
practical subjects. For instance, If
the horoscope indicates that the child
has musical talent, the s75 award is to
be devoted 10 developing the musical
faculties, and this course will also be
followed with reference to artistic ge-
MUS, business capacity and even "all
around ability" Just what this last
tenn signifies IT is a little difficult to

TWO DIED AND ONE WENT MAD
Bark Abandoned and Landing Made on
Uninhabited lsle-Men Forced to
Live on Turtles, Shellfish
and Lizards.

Southampton.-A story of suffering
at sea, followed by months OF privation
on lonely island, is told by survivors
of the Norwegian bark Alexander
Dubis, who were recently landed at
Southampton, England, and sent
thence to Christiania The story is not
one of shipwreck; 1t is of disaster pro
duced by succession of Gains. The
region was the neighborhood of the
Galapagos islands. in the southern
Pacific ocean. and II was on one of the
smallest of the islands that the men
were maroooned for nearly six months.
The story as told by one of the quar-
termasters, a man named Morrison,
goes back to the beginning of 1907,
when the bark fell into series of
protracted Gains, varied only by light
and adverse winds. These conditions
lasted for over three months, during
which her position varied little. Food
ran short, the fresh water became
foul and undrinkable There seemed
to be no hope of getting into a wild
zone and still less of making port.
At last they spied large mountain.
Gus island and in landing through the
heavy surf they were wrecked
The landing brought disappointment
to the eestaways. The island was bare
and barren, BY splitting cactus leaves
and sucking the pulp the men cooled
their thirst

pleasure as when the sap moistened

COLLEGE GIRLS FIND A
COW IN THEIR DORMITORY
BAD BOY STUDENTS PUT 1T
THERE, AND 1T KEPT Co.EDS
AWAKE BY MoOlNG.

Philadelphia. Swarthmore, the
staid Quaker college community, is
laughing decorously over the story Of
a COW that came to college and was
permitted to stay over night, but was
sent home in the morning without
breakfast because she beloved all
night and kept the girls awake.
One night recently some of the rest
less spirits in the dormitories-four
boys only-started out on lark. In
the course of 1t some one suggested
that 1t would be good joke TO trans
fer Jersey COW from the barnyard of
the college farm to the hall OF the
girls dormitory. They agreed that
1t would. and accordingly at midnight
the students hoisted the COW up the
