There was a curious instance of the
survival of Jena Jacques Rousseau's
educational ideas recently in London.
A man named Edwin Collins was
brought into court on a charge that his
nine children were all running at large
in the streets instead Of being sent to
school. Mr.. Collins was an old and
experienced teacher himself and had
been q writer on education for sixteen
years He defended his practice on
the authority OF Rousseau, who, he
said, maintained that ''for the first
; twelve years the educator must teach
the children nothing" and that he
should trust to nature" Mr.. Collins
made a long address, saying that he
taught his children by the peripatetic
method, walking and talking with them,
in the streets and parks, until they
were 8 or 10 years old, and then they
learned to read and write in a week.
He offered numerous proofs that, while
they were ignorant of books, they were
Tar above the average Of children Of
their age in general intelligence. The
Judge of the Marylebowe Police Court,
before whom the case was tried, said
he had no option under the statute,
and that Mr.. Collins must positively
send his children TO school. But he
was evidently impressed, as he said in
conclusion: ct may be that there is
q great deal to be said of-your views.

make up a world literature. Despite

than becaUse we like it. 1t appeals to

it is to be classed among the great

DEMONSTRATIONS
IN COOKERY

The ladies of Honolulu are to be
treated to a demonstration of expert
cooking at the Y. W. c. A. every Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday morning
till further notice.
The demonstration has been sent all
the way from New York by the Van
Duzer Co., manufacturers of the we'll
known extracts of that name. Their
purpose in sending her is to show how
expert favoring is actually done, and
to prove the superiority of their flavor
ing extracts by actual test. The supe-
riority of a gas range in expert cook
ing will also be shown.
The arrival of this expert is creating
a great deal of interest among Homo
lulu ladies, and many viii take advan-
tage of the opportunity of seeing some
expert culinary demonstrations of
savory dishes.

 The government 1t was evident from the remarks Of the advocate-general in the summing up, did not want a severe sentence which would make q martyr of M Gregori. but merely | correction sentence which would all low the matter to die out. It was seu- orally anticipated that tho court would condemn Gregori to six m onths in prison, but his complete acauttal par took of the nature of an anii-climax. Those present in the court room gave vent to their feeling according to their political views and the courtroom re- sounded with mingled hoots and cheers. The president of the court however, soon queled the disturbance by ordering the courtroom cleared. An attempt was made to start man Hesitation outside the building, but this also was frustrated by the police.
 The days proceedings in the court were uneventful. and only once was there possibility of sensational in- cdent This was when Colonel du Paty de Clam passed Dreyfus on his way from the witness stand 10 his seat In the body of the house As he reached Dreyfus the colonel paused perceptlbly. A thrill ran through th. court and there was an audible nut. tering of He's going to strike him; but the colonel suddenly drew hirnseIf to his full height, shrugged his shoul- ders contemptuously and passed on to his seat.

MERRY WIDOW IN
 LINGERIE GOWN One of the Spectacular Feat ures of Annual Field Day of New Haven Grays
 in Fenwick.
FRED DAYToM's SPEECH
Veterans Give Active Handsome Silk Banner--General Bradley and Major Tilson Among the
 Dinner Speakers.

The most cherished occasion of the year In the life of every good New Ha- ven Gray, active and veteran, Is the annual field day. At that time they all turn out unless the infrmtes of na- ture forbid or the cares of business life make 1t impossible and even with those who have to stay away the heart Is present with the old company though bodily presence Is impossible,
 It would be difficult to point the fln- ger of the historian at just the one feature of the field day of the Grays yesterday at Fenwick that was most picturesque, enjoyable or spectacular. For instance there would be not a few who would say the Merry Widow" present in the lingerie gown and the miniature hat took the cake on two of these scores-the first and last, But perhaps pr. Smiley huring his 225 pounds of Pine Camp avoirdupois over the high jump rope when set at five feet, Ave. or the cavortings of the run, ners in the side-s splitting three-legged race was the most enjoyable. Or was the most enjoyable happening the rath CT lmpromptu speech of Fred Dayton, he of the checkered hat, on the front stoop of the hotel "Fellers, if you are the actives-you are A bunch of row dles,' said he in his happlest and most jovial vein. though retaining his well known gravity of face that makes what he says always the funnier and the as- senbled Grays that heard him cheered him to the echo.
 It has not been for three years that the Grays had been to Fenwick before for their field day. For that reason some feeling of strangeness was felt by the men on first arriving on their special train from New Haven with the New Military band at their head But that soon wore off when the baseball game between the actiyes and the vet erans was called. only some Ave in. nings were played but the Giants and the Cubs never fitted around the bases nor ever picked up such wonderful flle. as did the soldier boys of New Hayer on that occasion.
