Prefect System.
Head Master Gregg tells me that, with
Bishop Harding's assent, he expects to in
troduce "the prefect system of discipline
1t is based upon the theory that all boys
are imitators of the persons they admire
Every schoolboy naturally picks his
own standard of manhood if you don't
give him one" said Mr.. Gregg.
I'VE propose to choose five or six boys
from among the pupils and make them
the heads Of the divisions into which the
school will be divided. They will have
charge of the dormitories. of the sports
and look after the younger boys, serving
as leaders IS well as examples of charac-
ter and conduct.
"They will be called projects They will
not be chosen because of their excel
lence in scholarship. nor because they are
the best athletes. nor because they have
the highest marks in department., but for
their manliness. their common sense
their purity of thought and habit, their
evenness of disposition their self-control
and their natural qualifications for lead
ership.
3 I'VE expect each prefect to be RESPONSE
bile for the conduct of the members of his
division. They are to rely upon him for
advice. for counsel and for example"
History of Boy choirs.
When and where was the first boy
choir" | asked Mr.. Gregg.
THE first boy choir we know anything
about was in the Temple at Jerusalem"
replied the new head master. Although
our knowledge is scanty, it is probable
that in early times boys who were in
tended for holy orders took part in the
services in the temple and were trained
thoroughly for such calling.
The first record we have of vested
choir Is found in the fifth chapter of III

To promote this movement was the am

received her inspiration largely from the
fact that her two boys, James Buchanan
Johnston and Henry Elliot Johnston, were
members OF the vested choir of st. Paul's
Lniscopal Church in Baltimore at the
time of their death in 1881 and 1882.
Interest in Vested Choirs.
Comparatively little attention was paid
n the education of choristers in this
country until a few years ago. Vested
choirs are becoming now the rule among
the Protestant Episcopal and to a GER
tain extent among the Roman Catholic
churches. and the interest is growing

Whiskey and beer will remain as

It was felt that whiskey was already
carrying all the tax it could stand,

bition movement throughout the
country, it was expected, had cut
down the consumption of beer, and
it was felt that it would be hard
ship to impose any further tax. :@55 :;5.y.
It having become manifest to the
committee that duties derived from
customs under the new laN so11lade
not furnish the revenue expected,
they turned to the expedient of re-
viving the war revenue act OF 1898,
which placed tax on kilograms,
bank checks. playing cards and all
stocks bought or sold. That feature
of the war revenue act is incorporat-
ed in the measure as, drafted, it is
said. A matter which is .perplexing
the committee is that of the placing
of a tax on inheritances. President
Taft wants it, it is declared, and is
pressing the committee to take &C
ton along that fine, and predictions
are that the committee will yield
to the presidents wishes.
President Taft is seeking to have
copy of the bill delivered to the
senate committee on finance before
the special session begins, in order
that it may begin work on 1t al
once, believing that much time Will
be saved and that expense will be
materially curatiled.
