Public School
Education
ir IS LOOKING OUT MORE FOR
THE INTERESTS OF THE
GIRL STUDENTS.

TNHE whole trend of public school edu-
cation is changing. In the old days
everybody had to learn certain things,
whether the brain was fitted for them
or not or whether the future life de-
manded them. This was particularly
hard on girls, who because of this gem
eral system of education learned lot
of things that did them absolutely no
good and were painfully ignorant OF
others of vital Importance.
There are many schools In which this
is true yet, but the scheme of special
izing is one that Is rapidly growing into
favor. Teachers are encouraged to
study their children and to help then
to choose the branch of education that
will avail them most in what they in
tend to offer the graduate. To teach a
girl to know her own abilities and
make the most OF them Is more valu-
able than all the science and higher
mathematics that can be ground into
her head.
Teachers also are being chosen with
n view to their loving and understand
ing children as much as for their book
knowledge.
Girls now have course in house.
keeping in the manual training high
school where they can learn those
things every woman should know about
keeping house. There is a gymnasium
where they are taught to stand. sit and
walk correctly and where round shonl-
ders and weak chests are abolished
They are taught dancing. which makes
them graceful and is Of the greatest
benefit in social life. and In some
schools there are dressmaking and mil
linery courses.
If a girl wants n business career she
takes the business course in high
school. If her tastes are toward teach
ing or writing she follows the literary
course.
This seems indeed vast improve
ment on the old days when every child
was forced through Latin. geometry
and advanced arithmetic, with the ad-
ditlon of a few "ologies." and was con-
sidered fit to face the world then In
any capacity.

PUZZLE OF THE AIR.

lures the air as flowing river. And
just so long us all men looked at 1t so.
Just so long the birds kept their mo-
nopoly. for the only state In which
water approaches the condition Of air
is when water forms maelstrom
Even then water In Its widest turbu-
lence falls far short of the unstable, in.
cessant agitation of the atmosphere.
Air IL never still. IT Is filed with
warm waves ascending. cold waves
descending, and through 1t race cross
shoots and diagonal shoots, With cork.
screw whlrlwinds wandering hither
and yon as they list. The warm air
off cornfeld creates one kind of a
disturbance; off plowed land 1t Gre
ates another. A layer of cold air may
hold down layer OF warmer mir.
Consider what happens when the
warm air breaks through Its envelope
as millpond bursts Its dam. A flow-
ing stream churned to and fro and

flaps TIL II finds another column, when
1t goes on wheeling again with fixed
wings. Moreover. when II flies the
wind comes toward 1t in waves, rising
and falling like the pillows Of the sea
