The "Time" To Drink.


 Steadily man has been forced to the conclusion that for economic reasons he can't afford to drink" writes George C. Lawrence in the July Appleton's. 'In the last cen tury the temperance clock has gone ahead more than twelve hours. The per capita consumption of spirits has steadily been decreasing in all countries which are advancing. A hundred years ago. for example. drinking among gentlemen began at five o'clock. The very fact that former English marriages were celebrated before noon was due largely to the laws recognition of the fact that after that hour no gentlemen worthy of the name was supposed to be sober enough to go through the marriage ceremony with responsibility. Ask the average man today about his drinking, and in the great majority of cases he will re- ply: "Oh, I never take anything un- til after office hours," Nothing but an economic reason will explain this arbitrary division. for morally it would seem as wrong to drink at 2 D. m. as at a. m. Economically, however. the matter is different, since it is, from this point of view a question of efficiency, of producing result units. And experience has shown that alcohol will not produce them" tH. sAs, a.

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
Normal Teacher Writes Concerning
 An Illinois Institution.

Dr. R. H. H. Blome of the Normal
 faculty. but who is spending the sum
 mer in Normal, Ills where he is en-
 gagged as a teacher in the state nor maj school, writes from that place that he is enjoying his work and that the school is being conducted in very satisfactory manner. He sends the following account of the history of the institution: f The first summer school of the Illi- 1 nois State Normal University was held
 in September. 1883. Fifteen teachers were in attendance. Another was held I in August. 1864. A series of six Au-
 gust sessions. extending from 1867 till | 1872. averaged 240 in attendance. Af-
 ter the natural sciences were introduc- | into the requirements for teachers certificates special summer schools of
 science were held in 1875 and 1878. The instructors were men of national reputation, the tuition s20. the attend
 ance limited to fifty.
 For four years beginning in 1880 the
 regular year was made thirty-six
 weeks with an August term of four
 weeks for actual teachers. The aver age dllcIludIlCt "dS AoO. III looo CHdS- s. Deneen. our present governor. was enrolled as a student The establish | ment of the county institute In 1883 | caused the discontinuance of the sum- mer term. In 1894, 's5, '9e, three weeks in stitute was held in May while the | normal school was in session Tuition
 was free. but the date was too early to permit the attendance of many &C., tual teachers.
 | In 1897 a three weeks institute was held in July. tuition ten dollars. All of the regular faculty gave instruc- tion. One hundred twenty-five teach CTS attended. ;t
 In 1900 began the present series of regular summer terms of six weeks each. A tuition fee of six dollars was charged Tn 1900, 1901 and 1902
 Since 1903 the legislature has pro- vided ample funds for the maintenance of the school. A second term was added in 1902
 At first only the regularly faculty gave instruction. Since the second term was established it has been nes- essary to divide the regular faculty between the terms and employ addi- tional teachers. Twenty-four addi- tional teachers are employed for 1908.
 New features have been gradually added. recitals by the reading classes,

Beauty in Coinage H.. oe.erioratsd

It is a strange fact, and one that does small credit to modernity, that as the world has progressed in every other department of life the one dominating factor of the globe, money has deteriorated in design. in beauty of idea and in cleverness of execu- tion. Our American coins for more than a century have been a series of metal nightmares. Our earliest mon- ey pieces-the new England shilling, the Pine Tree pence of 1852, the coins sent over for use in the American Colonies by George the Third and the several dollar, half dollar and penny pieces bearing por- traits of Washington now in cir culation in this country. Crudely minted as these first coins were they at least have simplicity. and under standing of the limitations of metal stamping and good balance os in- scriptions with the pictorial effect. Take any of the pieces now in circu- lation in these United States-any-
 thing from the copper one-cent piece with it's aenemic Indian head to the silver half dollar with it's pseudo Greek profile and it's fright ened face rising from garland of gar

The chief growth. however. has been along the lines of the common school branches, there being this summer nine classes in arithmetic, seven class es in grammar, five in United States history. and five in geography.
 The summer school last year was in attendance the sixth in the United States being surpast only by the Uni versity of Chicago. Valparaiso Univer- sity. the University of Tennessee. the Iowa State Normal, and the Michigan State Normal at Ypsilanti The en- rollment at the present time is 1922.
 With the completion of the new building the summer school program will present some new features. Ex- tended courses in manual training and the various branches of domestic science and domestic art will be given. An additional teacher of art will be given. The new science laboratories will permit a great expansion of biol ogy and physics. Classes in beginning and advanced German will be formed. In addition to the ordinary normal courses. several advanced courses of the graduate school will be offered each summer.
 The eagerness of teachers fcr ampler scholarship and finer skill is meeting with liberal encouragement from many school boards. Attending the summer school has become quite the fashion all over our land.
