christian experience, those coming
in contact with him felt more like
living a Christian life by being in
ms presence, so great was his innu-
encc. He was loved and admired by
all who knew him.
AT an early age he married Miss
Matte Watt, daughter of the late
James Watt, who, with the follow
ing children, survives him: w. p.

church. AS patriot he served his
country with distinction as a soldier
during the four years Of civil war be-
tween the States.
Rev. j. r. Moore, Of Westminster,

MUIR GLACIER FREE OF BERGs.
Strange Changes Wrought by Earth
quake in Alaska Ice River.

Victoria, Il. c.. July "a recent
remarkable phenomenon in Alaska is
the drifting away of iccbcrgS from the
front of Muir Glacier in Glacier Bay
so that for the first time in nine years
noted on this continent, has been
visited. In 1889 a subterranean earth
quake occurred at Yakutat and ever
since the approach of this glacier has
been so choked with ice that boats
have turned away with their pas
sengers disappointed. Now through
some peculiar drifting of the ice
steamboats, can enter the channel and
go near the right wing of the glacier,
and after cautiously pushing their way
get a glimpse of the left face
In the nine years that it has been in
accessible the glacier has undergone
remarkable changes. When Prof. John
Muir, after whom it was nanno'.
visited it it had solid face two miles
long and rising about $50 feet auul.
the water line. 1t was live glacier
and great masses of ice toppled into
the sea from time to time With re-
verberatiOns like thunder. Water
splashed fifty feet high at each 1ltIl
and the sight was fascinating Today
the glacier assumes a different aspect
Erosion has worked out a new bay
which will soon be charted, and the
glacier itself seems to have two parts
the live part, from which icebergs
break and fall with tremendous noise
and dead arm, with land forming
between it and the sea-
This change is due to a hill which
projected through the top of the ice
when Prof. Muir was there Now that
hilltop is a large mountain dividing
the ice fields. The ice has also receded
at least four miles in the nine years.
The captain of the first steamboat
plotted in front of this glacier in re-
cent years was presented with a silver
service marked in large letters Muir
Glacier This is without doubt the
most remarkable known glacier or
this continent. 1t has 1914 square miles
of ice.

CHARGES SUSTAINED.
Chief of Russian Political Police
Abroad Has Bad Record. t.,t


Paris, July 9.-Although the result OF
the government investigation into the
charges made by the Russian revolu-
tlonst boultzeff against General Hart
ing, chief Of the Russian political police
abroad, with headquarters at Paris
has not been officially announced, it is
unders TODD that the charges have prac-
t1cly been established.
Bourtzeff accuses General Harting OF
being no other than Michael LandeZen,
alias PetroWsllv. who was sentenced in
the fan of 1890 by the correctional court
of the Seine to five years iinprison-
1nent as the organizer OF the dynamite
plot against Emperor Alexander III.
Neither the Russian government nor
the Russian embassy in Paris has conc
to the defence of General Harding, who,
during his police career has been sta
toned in various countries under Diff
ferent names. General surprise is eX-
pressed here that the Russian govern
ment should ask that the Legion of
Honor be bestowed unon him.

Illinois High School Has
A New System.
The Students Alternate Be-
tween School and Factory.
Closer Relation Between School
And Industries One Result.

Freeport, H., July 9.-The Citizens
Commercial Association of Freeport.
ILL.,, mas in connection with the School
Board, brought about an innovation in
industrial education. The plan adopted
is to permit students in the High school
to work one-half of the time in fac
tories.
The boys work in pairs. One boy in the
factory one week and in High school
the next week; the other boy of
the pair alternates. That is, the boy
in school this week goes to the factory
on Saturday afternoon and takes the
work in hand that the other boy has
been doing all the week so he can
take it up quickly Monday morning
without encroaching too much upon the
time of the foreman. The boys are
paid 10 cents an hour the first year,
IL cents the second year and 1872 cents
third year, and they are given full
credit for their work in High school.
1t is said that boys working in this
way pass their examinations as credit
ably as those spending their full time
in school. The reasons given are that
because of their factory experience
their minds are more receptive and
quickly. Then, they have their even
ings to prepare recitations and as only
the more ambitious boys elect such a
course they make good progress
The plan pleases the boys because it
gives them a chance to work with tools
and to earn something. Most boys
when they arrive at the age of IA years
want to earn their own money. This
gives them an opportunity to do so
and 10 remain in school at the same
time. 1t pleases the mothers because
while they appreciate the necessity OF
the boy going to work they feel that K
is n rather tender age to tie him down
to hard work every day.
1T nleases the father because he feels
that the boy ought to be engaged in
some productive employment and still
he wants him better prepared intellect
ually 1t pleases the manufacturers be-
ard ambition beyond the average for
only the more energetic boys will
choose course of this kind
1t pleascs the School Board because
it keeps boys in school during the four
years period, something that is very
difficult to do. 1t pleases the labor or
CARNATIONS by helping the boys who
need help most.
1t is beneficial to the boys in another
way. If a boy don't go to work when

he Is about IA years old he becomes too

Weii-NnoWn fact that the most import
AIT business men We're brought IN to
work when they We're young; that a
large proportion of tramps and ire,
sponsibles are recruited from Villages
where boys have no chores to attend
to before school and pothng to do after
school except to go swimming or fish
ing or to do other things that are
worse.
Still another object is to bring a
closer relation between the High school
and the manufacturing interests of
treepott for the purpose of interesting
the boys in their home city instead of
pointing them away to some other
city as soon as they leave school. The
plan will help to solve the apprentice
difficulties while directing the minds of
the brightest hoys along mechanical
lines, something after the plan of the
German educational system
The general plan is for the boys to
start work in the factory during vaca-
ton. They choose the factory that suits
them tcSt and the employers try them
ont anG the bows try the work to learn
whether they like it or not. In Free
port the manufacturing interests are
diversified. A number of boys chose
the organ factory. The different iron
and machine constructing establish
ments We're favorites with some of the
boys, while the electric and automo-
bile works appealed to many of them

Mr.. Shearer of the Citizens Com

says:
1.-THE Freeport plan means n radical
change in educational matters that IS
about as far away from the old time
classical System as it is possible to get
Specia li2ng in High school to such an
extent is an innovation which points
tn radical changes in our educational
methods, leaning well over towards
the manufacturing interests of the
country.
No radical change in the curriculum
of the Fr"epGrt High school is con-
temp!ated at present but in all proba-
bility the system will be extended
along especial lines looking to the etlu-
cation of young men and young women
to fit them Tor the especial lines of
work chosen by them.
'Technical studies will be used as
mind trainers just as effectually as the
Greek and Latin of our old-timc,peda-
gogues and the boys will imbibe some
thing of practical value while they are
still young
