A West indian Wife Catcher.

AS is customary with Indians the
world over, the Caribs are expert
basket weavers. and many strong and
handsome baskets are to be bought in
Roseau at reasonable prices If one
finds the right shops. writes Harriet
Quimby in Leslie's Weekly. A pecui.
lar instrument, made of busker straw
and woven closely together SO as to
form hollow tube ending in thong
of twisted ends and commonly dubbed
wife catcher, is also made and sold
by the Caribs. By slipping the hollow
end over Il mans finger above the
joint and pulling on the twisted end
the catcher will tighten around the
finger and the captive will be unable
to release his hand. 1t is claimed that
the Indians formerly employed this
device as n hundcuff for prisoners.

INNOVATION IN CHICAGO SCHOOLS
Manifestation of Lack Of Training In
Obedience at Home ard School
The Carl schurz Profess
sorship.

University regents, teachers. students
and graduates are all interested now in
a university beautiful for which the
first shot was fired last Wednesday night
when Architect Rutan, who drew the plans
for the medical college. wa the guest OF
the faculty at the regular monthly dinner.
Tit buildings on the university grounds
have been thrown together In the past
with little regard for systematic beauty
with the result that today the campus
looks exactly like what It Is, a patchwork,
the various buildings indicating the gem
crosby or the parsimony Of legislatures.
At the inner when the matter Of a
more beautiful university was discussed
Mr.. Bryan suggested that the university
should be moved further out Of the city
limits, where more land could be secured
at reasonable rates. and all started over
again. Governor Shallenberger was OF the
opinion the university buildings and
grounds could be sold for a sufficient sum
to make a good start on a new institu-
ton throughout.
The regents know now that the grounds
are entirely inadequate for the growing
needs OF the state and that further growth
is almost impossible in the present loca-
ton because Of the eXorbitant prices
charged for adjoining grounds.
SO It is very likely that an agitation
will be started to secure new grounds
either at the state farm or in some other
location and move the Institution.

Mix ado Wants to

japanese Educators Promulgate Re-
form to Institute Anglo
Saxon Tongue.

The march OF the English tongue about
the world has invaded far away Nippon.
A movement originated and headed by
Baron Naibu Kanda, professor in the
Peers school at Toxic, who Is with the
general adoption Of the use OF the Roman
characters instead OF the weird figures OF
the written language of the Japanese.
THE movement is going slowly, but II
is my hope that in generations to come It
will achieve complete success.
1T Will mean much TO our people, es-
pecially in commercial life.
Each Japanese character represents
either a whole word or a syllable. Now by
the method which we are introducing the
character is converted into Roman char
acters by transliteration. The Roman let
ters form a simply phonetic representation
of the sound which bears the meaning OF
the written character"
Baron Kanda is a graduate of Amherst
Of the class of 1879. He is a member of the
Psi Epsilon fraternity.
Baron Kanda came to America as a little
lad, when after he had completed his co..
lege education he returned to Japan he
found that he could hardly converse or
write in his mother tongue. He set to
work 10 learn the language anew.
"One acquires his vocabulary While in
school, explained the baron, land during
that period was learning in English. Ma
turally l found myself with ideas which 1
could not express in the neglected Jap
%anese."

DEFIANCE OF AUTHORITY.
Manifestation OF Lack OF Parental
Discipline.

Manifestation of Lack of Parental
Discipline,
Commenting on the strike of pupils
of a local high school, the Cleveland
Plain-Dealer says:
This u-npleasantness in one OF Cleve-
high schools may be considered
as a local manifestation Of a more or
less general rebellion of childhood against
authority. The old fashioned discipline
Of the nome and the school has passed
away. That doctrine Of absolute obed-
fence may have been unduly harsh, but it
was far better than the spirit OF rebel
lion that has succeeded Il in so many
places. Allowed unreasonable freedom
at home, nothing is more natural than
In children should demand the same
liberty from their teachers. Strikes" fol-
low. Cleveland's is not the first, nor
perhaps the worst. Every few days one
reads OF some chool rebellion. boys and
sometimes girls walking out" rather
than submit to this or that condition.
II the public schools fail to teach
obedience to authority they fail in a very
large part of their duty. But they can
not teach II without the assistance Of the
home. 1t is well for the public to bear
these things in mind when such incidents
as this West High school strike" arise.

CLEANING

Efficiency of Vacuum Cleaning
Plants in school Rooms.
A grammar school principal writing in a
recent number of the Elementary School
Teacher makes the following statements
regarding the efficiency Of vacuum air
cleaning plants in schoolroom sanitation.
School boards will be interested in them:
The vacuum cleaner sweeps the school
house more Rapidly thai brushes can do it.
1t sweeps steamer than brush or broom.
1t does way with any busting n~ecessi-
tated by sweeping. for it raises no dust.
1t sucks the dirt and fine dust of the
school room through hose and pipes into a
closed receptacle in the basement, where
they are destroyed by fire,
It sucks dust and dirt from places mac
cessible to brush or broom.
It enables the janitor to sweep at any
hour Of the day when corridors or certain
rooms are not in use.
1t Is the ideal method for cleaning n
school building after the dismissal Of the
pupils.
The government is committed to the poll
icy OF educating our children. II 1t pays
for It to educate the child, it is certainly
worth its while to protect his health to
make that education useful later in life.
In every large school building now being
erected or to be erected in the future pip.
ing for vacuum cleaning should be in
stalled the same as for water and lighting
service. school buildings already in use
could be equipped In the same way as II
TSeam or hot water heat were to be in
stalled. When this is impossible and cleo
trio current Is available one Of the many
portable vacuum cleaners may be easily
carried from room to room and give good
results.
