to the fact that the extreme liberality OF
Mendelssohn in all matters involving re-
ligion or race ought to teach a lesson OF
charity to the present day.
Thus the composer was the product OF
Jewish line. but one which embraced
Christianity, and Felix himself became
a Lutheran. Yet despite his conversion
to the faith of Chris, he never lacked in
kndneSseS to the ancient line from which
he sprang. The talents of his father and
grandfather had been turned TO the great
questions of finance and philosophy, yet
Felix followed in the paths of neither. but
devoted himself to the muse of music.

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 12.-With her flag
half mast, the State fisheries boat
onmodore Perry, brought to this
OFT late today the dead and frozen
b dies Of nine of the crew OF the Bes-
serner G, Marquette ferry No. 2, which
left Conneaut, O., Tuesday morning,
CARRYING thirty-two men, and which
.robably foundered in the middle OF
Lake Erie.
For forty-eight hours the Commo-
dore Peary secured Eastern Lake Erie
for traces of the car ferry, finding
tiny lehman yawl fifteen miles OF this
port at II o'clock today.
News of the finding of the bodies
had reached the city and thousands
OF persons swarmed the wharves. AS
SION as the fish boat made fast,

raising the bodies TO the dock, where
wagons were in waiting. The process
sion passed through the principal
streets of the city with hundreds or
people following.
Conneaut. o., where most of the
men live, was notified by telephone
and a hundred residents of that city
arrived here within two hours. They
were taken directly to the coroner's
morgue, where identifcations were
made.
In the bow end of the boat was
found complete clothing for one man
and it is the belief that the yawl orig

becoming crazed, had discarded his
clothing and jumped into the Icy
waters of Lake Erie.

PROOF POSITIVE TO THAT Eff
Feet SECURED BY MILITARY
COURT OF INQUIRY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Conclusive
evidence is said to have been secured
by the military court of inquiry into
the "shooting-up" of Brownsville to-
day that members of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry, colored, who were in the
fort, fired upon the town at the time
their companions were racing through
the streets shooting right and left.
None of the members of the court
of inquiry would discuss the matter,
but it is intimated that a demand for
the abolition of the regiments Of me-
gro troops, which are provided for by
law, will be made by the Southern
delegation in Congress. Thus the
bitter debate that marked the final
DAYS of the Roosevelt administration
threatens to be renewed.
The evidence discovered by the offi-
GERS who compose the court is said to
be susceptible of complete proof. Ger
tain members, it is reported, made
personal examination OF buildings
across the road from the fort in
and discovered bullet
holes in the sides of three houses.
Continuing their Investigations, they
discovered the bullets, which were of
the regulation army design. Fol-
lowing back the line of fire as shown
by the track of the bullet, the marks
men could have been nowhere else
than within the barracks.

MAKING UP
A PROGRAM
Forms Of Study in Country
Schools Advocated by Prof.
Hanson Of Walcott

This is a big subject. In deal
ing with it in pract ice no
small degree of intelligence
and good judgement should be
exercised. Yet I am not certain
that ] would be justified in
consuming much of your time
in a lengthy discussion of it. 1
shall try to occupy a little time,
however, in discussing tn e
making up of a program aud
related topics. principally from
the standpoint of the country
school and the country school
teacher.
The rural teacher must nee.
essarily operate in broad field
so far as variety of work is con-
cerned, and from her stand-
point the matter of daily pro-
gram is especially complex and
important. 1t seems like an
easy thing to do to cit down
and write program. The diff
ficulty is to arrange it as to
make it of the maximu m and
in bringing about results when
actually put in practice among
the numerous limiting condi-
tons in country schools The
aim of the teacher in making
her program should be to do
the most possible for all her
pupils in the time at her dis.
posal.
Several important factors are
involved in the consideration
of the problem. Some of the
are as follows:
l. On the average from six
to eight grades must be pro-
vided for.
2. From seven to nine sub.
jects must find place on the
program.
3. In many instances the
term of school is materially
short of the nine months con.

quired. But we cannot handle
the world of knowledge in our
public schools. Leaving out
consideration the additional
burden that would be placed
upon the teacher by increasing
the number of subjects, let us
look at the situation from the
standpoint of the child. Do
we not sometimes enormously
estimate the capability of the
child, when considering the
elements involved in determin-
ing the degree and direction of
our educational effort? We
take the ideal member of soci-
ETY. 40 the result desired and
too often thru theorizing as to
what, in matter and method,
will produce that result we
proceed to prepare an educa-
tional "bill of fare" expecting
the child to partake thereof
a n d respond in accordance
