Sacred Heart college Of Watertown, WIS.
is conducted by the congregation Of the
Holy Cross, a congregation with a world
wide reputation for rational progressive
ness in educational methods. Unwedded to
any one of the older systems of instruc-

Gus systems and has discarded what nu-
merous eXpounders Of older established
systems would gladly discard were they
not fettered by tradition. The result Is
an educational system unrivaled by any.
Moreover, It Is an axiom with this teach
ing body that those only who are espe-
cially gifted with the qualities Of heart
and mind, which inspire in youth noble
ideals, shall be entrusted with their care
At Sacred Heart the curriculum ID com,

languages receive due attention. The sci,

growing need. The laboratories have beer
remodeled and newly equipped. Students

webster City's Booster Button.

WEBSTER CITY. Ia. Aug. 22.-(Special.)
The Webster City Commercial league is
putting INTO the hands Of every voter in
the city what is probably the most unique
booster button used by any city in the
state Of Iowa. Around the edge Of the
button are the words, webster City Com
mercial League" Also on the edge, sep
arating the words Webster City from
Commercial league on either side. are a
sheaf of oats and an ear OF corn. In the
center and extending to the cages of the
design is a web-just a common cobweb.
Sticking through this web is a head OF
a steer-not a long-horned Texas range
but a top-notch Iowa corn-fed steer. The
word Iowa" also appears in bold letters
in the middle of the button, and just above
the steers head is the motto, ITO Our
Webster Business" This latter 1t is
which really makes the design novel and
exclusive, as it can be made to apply to
no other city than Webster City. The but
ton is attracting no end of attention.

WASTE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Reflections on the Process OF stuffinE
Young Braina.

Reflections on the Process of StuffinH
Young Brains.
We are likely to receive some shocks
when we come to study c~old-bloodedly the
results obtained by the various public
schools throughout the country, says NJ
d. Brattan in the Van No-den Magazine.
Tho writer uses the figures obtained by
the investigators OF the Sage Foundation
to prove the assertions.
The writer contends that generally too
much is required Of the pupil. Money Is
being spent in trying to squeeze more in
formation into the infant brain than It
has room for. Both the Information and
the brain are sure TO be injured in the
process, and a great deal OF money is
wasted.
The majority of children in the public
schools are going to turn their backs on
education at the age Of fourteen and go to
work. Wherever they may be on on the
school ladder they will not stay beyond
the fated hour Already they have barely
time to squeeze through II they are bright;
II they stick anywhere they are lost-they
will never get a lower school education.
They do stick Investigation shows lbs
the average length OF time required to
pass through eight grades is not eight
years, as It should be, but nine and a half.
Nine and a half ~years-snd the law re-
quires less than eight!
Throughout tho United States generally,
children between the age OF six and four
teen are required to attend the public
schools. Investigation shows that the
courses OF study arrange cannot be com.
pleted in the time limit. In a few, like
Aurora, ILL.,; Meriden. Conn: Cincinnati
Trenton, N. j.; Utica and st. Louis, the
average time was less than nine years
so these are banner cities. On the other
hand, the average child in numerous Other
cities needed more than ten years to finish
the lower school course. In this grouT
are Memphis, Tenn. Cloth white and col.
ored); Troy, N. Y: Camden, N. j.; VIII.
mington (colored); Kansas City. and Erie
Pa These last two cities would have t
keep their scholars twelve to twelve and
one-half years, respectively, to get then
through an eight-grade course.
In general, children are kept through the
sixth grade. Then, two years before they
have finished a lower school course, they
drop out and go to work. The best cities
including Boston, Denver, Fort Wayne
Grand Rapids, Los Angeles, Minneapolis
New Haven, Omaha, Portland, Maine anc
Portland, Ore, Springfield and Troy, keel
them through the seventh, as do various
smaller towns with an unusually prosper
Gus population, but the average course fol-
the American child is six grades. Tn,
commissioner Of education, in his repor'
for 1907, gave a study Of 3S6 towns with &
population of 5000 and over. The frs
grades contained, A7,s45 pupils, and thu
eighth but 1l7,s7s. It may be said, OF
pretty accurate figures that, taking on,
city with another, about half Cprobably
less) of the children who enter The lower
schools complete the course.

WILD WEST AT HARVARD.
summer Students from Prairie States
Do q Few Stunts.

Do u Few stunts.
= In Harvard's early days more than two
centuries and a half ago there was a
few Indians enrolled, relates the Boston
Transcript, and probably not since that
time until last night nave aboriginal stu,
dents, except as visitors, been seen In the
college buildings. Il was the occasion
Of the reception to the other summer
school students by the people from the
central and western states and not only
were there Indians in full paint but there
were cowboys and cowgirls in the regalla
Of the plains. Old Hemenway gymnasium
looked upon scenes Of that distant country
which it had never witnessed before. An
other thing apparent was the extreme hos
pitality-the. western hospitality which is
indeed no fable.
The hosts were bound to give every
body a good time and there is no doubt
that they succeeded. Formal evening dress
was tabooed and men who had come to
the party arrayed in their best society
apparel were promptly fined. The 40
westerners who are students in the sum-
mer school distinguished themselves from
the effete fasteners by wearing bandana
handkerchief.
After the cowboys had got their cattle

B. Kennedy, who recently has taught at
Beloit College, but next fall will come TO
Harvard as head OF the department of
public speaking, gave a talk OF which
the text was "A Unitarian Spirit and a
Broad Culture" He spoke with enthus-
iasm OF co-education, declaring that in the
west, at least, it had been a success;
that many colleges contained more wo-
men than men and that the women stood
high in the fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa.
He closed his remarks by saying, doubt
less referring to the "utilitarian spirit, -
that the fun would begin at once and that
those who did not care to dance might
play poker In the side rooms OF the gym
nasium.
The fun did begin as he had stated. II
started with a grand march led by the
COW people and the Indians. Men, how-
ever, seemed to be scarce and in spite OF
the entreaties Of the hosts for everybody
to get on the floor, the day was not
saved until half a hundred undergraduates
whose association with the summer school
is purely social, happened in and filled W
the ranks Of the marchers. Then came
an Indian dance in front Of a tepee. by a
chief and some squaws which put 10
shame the best speciality ever seen in these
parts. General dancing followed and SC
much vas 1t enjoyed that as far as Ii
known nobody resorted to the poker tables
