| interest can be said about many more of the subjects found in the arithme- | tic and the same is true of the texts on grammar. spelling. geography and physiology. No doubt a study of all
 this is mental discipline, but why not get the drill from something that will be of some use after the child has it. And while we are continually adding to our courses of study. making them more and more difficult, We are in sisting on the child rushing through school in the shortest time possible and trying to have him master all these things at an age when he is in- capable of comprehending.
 I am of the opinion that We should reduce the course of study and at the same time lengthen out the school years The following rules might be applied to the material that goes into the course of study:
 l. Whatever. cannot be shown to have a plain relation to some real need of life, aesthetic, ethical or util- tarian. should be dropped.
 ?. Whatever is not reasonably with in the child's comprehension.
 3. Whatever is unlikely to appeal to his interest; unless demanded by some real need.
 4 Whatever topic and details are SO isolated and irrelevant that they fail to be a part of any chain or series of ideas.
 The third thought desire to Ires snt to you is one that most ot us wIll agree upon. yet we make iit;le effort to correct it. and that is, The over crowding of the school rocm." The average school room the country ,verI is built to accommodate about forty pupils. which is at least 25 per cent more than any teacher can handle ana do her best work. or reasonably good work. But this would not be so bad if we could get all rooms down to- forty pupils. but, instead. we find many rooms with from fifty to sixty in a room. This condition is particu- larly true in this western country where we have such q large increase of population from immigration.
 Lack Of thorougnness in the public schools may we'll be named as de feet. but when We reverse the grading, weed out the course of study and re- duce the number of pupils to the teacher we will be in a position to de- mand and secure thoroughness 'n the work.
 Teachers as rule are not insistent enough on accuracy. Pupils receive credit flor work that is partially cor rect and thereby the pupil gets an idea that it is not necessary that his work should be correct. He should be taught that three and four makes seven at all times and when it does not make seven that his work is wrong and he receives no credit for what he has done: and this should be commenced in the primary grades and continued through the high school. when you will find that boys and girls thus dealt with can at least add correctly and multiply.
 In looking over the schools nf Pho.,- nix for special defects We find that all that has been said can be applied to the schools of this city. and while. many "f them can be remedied to q certain extent. yet before We can have system of schools such as the city

should have at least three things are very necessary: Modern school build ings, more money and many changes in the present schYl law. The school board is working hard to better she first, that of more and better school buildings, and hopes that by the open ing of the coming year that they will have at least eighteen or twenty more rooms for use. But with the rapid growth of the city this will not last long, and it will be necessary to keep on building. The high school must either have more room or in measure suspend operations. The teachers as- sociation has undertaken to have the laws for the schools revised so as to meet the present conditions. but what can be done to get more money is a more serious question.

that the committee is trying to reach
an amicable arrangement with the
company.
The Irish Standard has nothing to
say in reference to the exchange Of
courtesies between Mayor Haynes and
Alderman Hertig, as reported In the
daily press, but in the adjustment Of
the gas question we hope that no in
Justice will be done to the company,
which is acknowledged to have given
very good satisfaction to the consum-
ers Of gas in Minneapolis, where it
has done business for many years. We
have never been enamored of munich
pal ownership Of gas and other public
utilities for reasons unnecessary to
enter into at this time. Suffice it to
say that it has not worked satisfac-
torily in other places, and that the
matter should be discussed pro and
con by the press and public before
any action is definitely taken by this
municipality. If the gas company's
proposition is q fair one, it should be
accorded careful consideration by the
city authorities before any condemna-
ton proceedings are commenced. Every
effort should be made to get the very
best terms possible from the company
and the gas committee to which the
matter has been referred should take
carly action in the premises.
The men at the head of the Gas
company in this city have always
manifested a disposition to do right
That cannot be truthfully said Of other
corporations, and therefore we urge
fair treatment on the part of the city
to the company in question. A private
corporation. properly regulated, and
destitute of grasping instincts, charac-
teristic Of other chartered bodies,
should receive the fairest of treatment
from the municipal government, and
the latter should be slow to take action
leading to the forcible confscation Of
its property.

: Limeriek's First Mayor.

Liz ic6eAOdfy story OF now the IN
habitants of the City of Limerick.
Ireland, chose their first mayor, is
thus entertainingly told by writer in
the Irish Independent" His name
was Shawn ma Scoob, John Of tn,
Brooms." - tt.. .....-s
Armed with their portentotous char
ter, the Inhabitants assembled to Sc.
lect from among them the man who
was destined to des- lend to posterity
as first incumbent C. chat ONCE. From
over-carefulness lest the dignity
should be unworthily bestowed, they
found it impossible to make a choice.
After much discussion and delibera-
ton, they decided on a novel way
out of the dificulty-the first man to
cross the river in the ordinary course
of events should be mayor. Judge
the surprise of the perplexed inhabi-
tants when they found that the indi-
vidual whom Fate had decided was
no other than a humble broom maker,
Shawn ma Scoob, who, knowing moth
ing of the history making parchment
of his Majesty the King, and quite
oblivious of the question that vexed
the minds of the good people Of
Limerick, was coming to town to dis
pose OF his heather hrooms. Shawn,
after being richly clothed, was taken
and carried in triumph as first mayor
through the streets.
There are many stories told If
Shawn after he had risen from hon
est poverty to compa. alive aftluence,
from broom making to the less ardu-
Gus task of law-making; but as each
succeeding generation creates half
dozen of new ones, we will let them
rest, and tell the original from which
they are founded. ,.:...; +:
Shawn's wife having heard of the
honor bestowed on him, and wishing
to get her share Of it, looked up her
Cincinnatus-like husband, aand found
him dispensing justice In. the court
house. For some minutes: she. looked
up at him on the bench, and being
unable to control herself at findi.,y
he took no .cognizance of her. shouted:
Shawn, alanna, I hardly knew you!"
The mayor looked down at his
spouse and coldly replied, II am not
surprised, ma'am. when 1 don't know
myself"

some sweeping" changes in the gov
eminent of the city.

st. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, July
26th. 1s09.-My Dear Mr.. Deylin-Per-
NIT me to thank you for the good
work which you have done in keep
ing the Hibernians in Ireland distinct
from the American Clan.na-Gaels. I
would regard the union of the IIiber-
mans with the latter as pregnant with
manifold dangers. We are the more
interested in the result as efforts were
being made In Australia: and with
some success. to promote similar
union Of our fine body Of Hibernians
with the Americans hostile to the Irish
Party. l am happy to say our Hibern.
ians are working admirably. 1 had
occasion to make some remarks on tho
Irish language movement which. SEEM
ed favorable to the Celtic League pro-
motors, who I am told are hostile to
your Parliamentary party. My pur..
pose, however, would be to make the
Irish Language Movement powerful
agency in support OF the Parliamentary
party. Here we are ali most loyal
to the party, and we lament very much
that any persons claiming to be friends
Of Ireland or of the irish language
would show themselves hostile to It.

Minnesota to pay. exorbitant prices to

Aldrich and his! gang increased the
