town, N. Y, within three hours OF
each other. Large evolutions Will
then be carried out on much the same
scale as in modern war.
In introducing his plans Genera!
Grant began with plain word or TWO
on preparation for war.
I'VE are the most pugnaclous ma
ton on earth" he said, land perhaps
the least prepared for real trouble" "
He did not believe that I'm God We
Trust" was a good enough motto to
excuse lack of military preparation.
He went on to say:
II am preparing seacoast @aneu-
vres for this summer to show how
our big guns could knock out any for
eign fleet that might come poklng
around with evil intentions"
The absence of the battleshlp
squadron in the Pacific has led, it is
understood, to the attaching OF much
more Importance in Washington this
year to the maneuvres centrins about
the coast defenses of the Atlantic sea-
board.
Orders issued governing details of
the maneuvres prescribe minimum
of formal ceremonies and q total alb
sence of merely spectacular exhibi-
tions." Practice marches have been
ordered, in which infantry will cover
200 miles and cavalry $50 miles. The
exercises will be carried out in a pro-
gressive manner, beginning with
small bodies of troops and ending
with the entire command. These ex-
ercises will comprise periods of at
tack and defense; periods of advance;
rear and flank guards, and control
work; periods of outposts and control
work, to be followed by general man
euvres. 1t is understood: that the
State troops wil not be feauired to
do all of the work prescribed for the
regular organizations,

with my system the entire struc-
ture is changed. 1t is different
structure entirely, and the child in
order to get back into its old habits
must not merely 'backslide, but build
back. Do You catch the essential diff
ference between the two?
II will have four departments in
my school this year. The first will be
art, with special attention to music
and sculpture; the second, therapeu-
tic curing of incurable diseases, like
spinal troubles. particularly; the
third, remedying backward children
who are deficient in some OF the
senses. as in color perception or in
not hearing accurately, while the
fourth will be the selection of those
dozen children whom will choose
this summer, and the educating of
them along the lines given in my spe-
cial educational system.
These particular twelve / will ed
ucate free Of charge; the other pupils
will charge for, as in other institu-
tions Of educationa! character.
Methods Will Be Radical.
"My methods of work with these
children will differ radically from the
ordinary methods of teaching. For
instance, you have observed, doubt
less. many a man in the business
world whose school training didn't
extend beyond the seventh or eighth
grade perhaps, but whose mental pro-
cesses and accordingly whose busi-
ness methods we're on better plan
and were much better systematized
than those of the man who had had
more years of school and college
training.
Now, when he was a child that
man of little training but of excellent
ability would have been the child we
would choose for our school.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Dr. Leon Ell
bert Landone, who has purchased a
100000 residence property in Holly
wood, where he will establish school
in which to accomplish In child cul-
ture what Luther Burbank has done
in horticulture, has met with the diff
fculties that invariably beset reform
ers, but ignores them. He is about
to work out theories regarding child
culture that he hopes and intends will
result in the material benefit Of the
human race. To World correspond
ent he said:
There are four steps in evolution
ary development which are true in
both the human and plant life. Bur-
bank recognizes the gradations in his
plant work, as did Stanford in the
breeding of fine horse stock. Even
so, they figure in the human race in
the development of children.
These four steps or gradations
are as follows: First, variation; Sec
ond, sex crossing to carry on the
qualities by heredity; third, selec.
ton, and fourth, cultivation and de-
relopment.
DIR. Jordan, president of Stanford
University, recognizes these same
steps in recent work.
las far as concerns the first two
steps in evolutionary development
those called variation and crossing
they have been attended to already, y
explained DR.. Landone.
No Artificial Marriages.
"This country of ours is the most
crossed, as far as races so, OF any
nationality on the face Of the globe
We simply take the best representa-
tives Of child life in the land and
work with them.
ANY effort along the line of arti-
fetal marriage is failure, since true
marriage is where each party to the
contract is honestly in love with the
other freely and of his or her own &C.
cord. The offspring Of an artificial
marriage would be failure.
Il will select ten to twelve children
from various parts of the United
States for each of the first two OIL
three years, and in these children
will seek 10 develop the best there is
in them.
The basis of my system Of educa'
ton for these children will be in the
reconstruction Of structure. The COM

Washington, D. c. Preparations
have been completed by the War De-
partment for Joint tnaneuvres during
the coming summer of all branches Of
the regular service and many State
militia organizations, for which Con-
gress has appropriated $1,000, 900.
Instruction camps will be established
and maneuvres held for one month
at each place, as follows:
Pine Plains, N. Y, June Is 10 July

Chickamauga Park, Ca. July.
Leon Springs, Texas, July.
American Lake, Wash. August.
Fort D. A Russell, Wyo., August.
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind, Sep

Fort Riley, Kan, September.
Atascadero Ranch, Cal, October.
The army maneuvres, which are to
be on a scale never before attempted
in the United States, are to be car
ried out by Major-General Frederick
D. Grant with the regulars Of the De-
partment of the East and large force
of militia. The operations, says Gen
eral Grant, will include more men and
cover wider territory than any pre-
vious, and, as far as can be, they will
offer an approximation of warfare.
The plan of campaign includes two
separate series of operations, the first
on the coast, the second inland. A
series OF coast defense maneuvres will
be carried on simultaneously at the
various Notifications from Baltimore
to Boston. After four weeks Of this
coast defense practice, the comman-
der believes, the troops, both regulars
and national guards, will be thor
oughly seasoned to powder, while the
officers will have gained great famil-
iarity with the particular styles of

New Railroad Laws Go Into Effect

Columbia, Spccial.-After July

compliance is fine of not less thar
$500 and not more than $1,000 fol

with copies of the act. The commits
sion also wrote to the railroad com

other act passed by the recent legisla,
ture, forbidding public drinking OIL

Aged Woman Killed y Passenge,

Aiken, Speeial.-A most deplorable
accident occurred at Jack ckson Station
last week, when Mrs. Pass Wilson,
one of the oldest and most highly re-
spected women of that section, was
run over and instantly killed by a
ain. Coroner Owens was notified a
few minutes after the tragedy and
he left for Jackson. There was a
freight train on the siding at Jack
son, waiting for passenger train to
pass. Mrs. Wilson desired to cross
the railroad track and made her way
to the rear of the freight to cross be-
hind the caboose. Just us she was
about to cross around the caboose,
the Atlantic Coast Line passener
train came dashing by at a high rate
of speed. 1t is thought that Mrs.
Wilson saw this train just before it
got to her, but did not have time to
get out Of the way. Il
