The Drag in Bubble Schools.

The pace of classes in our public
grammar schools is determined by the
average pupil, or perhaps pupils a lit
tie below the average. In view of the
task thrown upon our grammar
schools. of taking all sorts of raw
Observation-Disclosures of foreign birth,
children in whose homes study is i'm
possible-we can hardly complain that
the work often drags Our chief criti-
cism is that in so many cases no pro-
vision is made for promoting the
bright children more rapidly. They are
held back in lock-step with the rest.
The boy who can easily complete the
program for three years in two or two
and a half, and who would profit large
ly by moving ahead quickly, is not al
lowed to break the ranks He is under
no stimulus to exert himself and dc
his best AS a result, he dawdles and
forms thoroughly bad habits of appli
cation, habits which may cling to hin

SILVER COINAGE PROPOSITION

A project which it is believed would
mean considerable addition to the
market for silver has been laid before
Lieutenant Governor Harper, says the
Denver News. 1t relates to the ques-
tion of a union among Canada, the
also afterwards be made to include the
Central and South American republics,
similar to the Latin Union, for the
express purpose of issuing common
currency and coinage.
John Stewart of New York City sets
forths the plan fully in u letter, and
asks tbs views of Harper as to the es-
Establishment of an organization to agi-
tate the subject and to try to secure
government sanction.
.. "Such a union would mean the yearly
minting of certain value of subsidiary
coins, half dimes, quarters and half
dollars, which would pass current in all
countries belonging to the union," says
Mr.. Stewart. Il have discussed the
matter with the authorities of Canada
and the United States in an incidental
way, and believe that such project, if
widely agitated, would receive govern
nent sanction. Would you kindly
write me your views on the subject? l
am addressing you for the reason that
the contamination of such IL project
would mean IL considerable addition to
the market for silver.
1T seems to me that after thor
"ughly familiarizing the people of the
proposed union with the idea, it would
not he difficult to bring about govern
ment sanction of the idea of forming
IN international commission to discuss
the subject.

soon be purple, getting slowly by and
by darker and darker until 1t is the
purple of night and the evening star
