St Petersburg. March 2S.-The solution Of the

and shame, rather than feeling OF relief by

N. Iswolsky, the Foreign Minister. for the sur
render of Slav interests without considering the
circumstances which have dictated the Russian
policy.
Papers Of all shades Of opinion publish leading
editorials assailing NJ. Isvolsky in the most
viruent fashion, and the general indignation
has reached such pitch that the position of the
present Foreign Minister is seriously shaken It
is thought in diplomatic circles that it may be
necessary TO sacrifice NJ Iswosky 10 alay the

Estimated That There Are 100000
Persons of Canadian Birth Here.

Washington. d. c. Alarm is felt
in Canada over the story of the emf
grafton of Canadian citizens to the
United States. A special dispatch to
the New York Herald from it's Otta
wa correspondent, says:
Emigration of Canadians to the
United States is assuming large pro
portions. George Taylor, member OF
parliament for Leeds, Ontario, gave
notice today that he would on Thurs
day inquire of the ministry what steps
were being taken to prevent emigra
tiOn to the republic.
Mr. Taylor calls attention to the
report of Colonel Van SAINT, Ameri
can consul at Kingston. that that city
during nine months ending Sept 80
had lost 500 citizens through emigra-
ton to the United States.
Emigration in that direction is
larger than generally expected. 1t has
been estimated that there are 900, 600
persons of Canadian birth in the
United States.
"A careful investigation several
years ago showed there were 100000
in the New England states alone"

Borus Sidus OF Brookline, Mass, has
Prof. Sidus is a psychologist That is,
he Is student and an expert on the
human mind.
Sidus had a theory of latent en-
ergy' of the mind The father then,
each day, sought not to teach the child
anything, but to lead him to discover
for himself some fact and the relation
OF that fact to other facts.
The first course gave the child a
sturdy body and made him a lover of
outdoors and an expert in all childish
games. The second course kept him
baby and stimulated his imagina-
ton The third gave him facility in
handling that most wonderful of all
tools-the reasoning brain
Never in his life has he been told
in answer to question that he
wouldn't understand" Never has he
been told thing is true because ia
ther says So" Never has he been
given false or slovenly answer in
reply to his childish questions.
Each time the little mind reached
Cut-whether to ask: How big is
the SUM-" or why does the kitty have
a tail?" careful, truthful answer has
been given. Sdus found that the
foolish questions" which his boy
asked were the same that all children
asked. but he saw in them the crop
ing of an awakened mind, and sought
to give them direction, purpose and
relation.
The result was that the child. not
being held down to the alphabet,
learning to count ten and few
vague and unrelated facts about the
things he saw about him, was as easily
interested in history as be was in
Mother Goose"
lie didn't learn to count ten," but
he learned by playing dominoes, the
relation of numbers (not figures). and
his mind was permitted 10 discover for
itself that twice two make four.
They found that a simple book on
chemistry was as interesting TO the
child as was Alice in Wonderland =
Not only as interesting. but it proved
rs easily understood by him.
There are lot of things which we
think child is too young to under
stand. SO we won't explain them.
The child, however, is as interested in
Il locomotive as he is in a cat. and
what interests him he can under
stand.
