document that submits series of ques-
tons to which replies are desired These
questions are SO framed that they will
elicit facts concerning the directors per-
sonal knowledge of the doingS of the
bank and of the details of its every
day operation. They put it up 10 the
director personally and by requiring at
test give the statement formed by the
replies the character of an oath This
will prevent the directors from carrying
their blanks down to the bank and hav-
ing them there filled out by the officers
who are in active control.
The wisdom of this policy will be ac-
knowledged by directors themselves. In
many instances the directors of institu-
tons have been too trustful of the of
hcialS directly in charge of the daily
operations, and have taken things for
granted that should have been the sub
ject of careful inquiry. Well-meaning
bpt slothful directors have gotten into
trouble through lapSeS of this kind. and
if in the future directors are compelled
70 actually serve instead of acting as
figure heads it will be safer for them
selves as we'll as for others who are CON
cerned.

The Problem of the Backward Pupil.

There is always more hope of reform
when loss through the persistency of
erroneous methods can be shown in dol
lars and cents. The American people
are eminently practical, and they will
not sit idly by and see good money
thrown after money that is styled bad
because it is virtually lost to them.
For this reason an article in the cur
rent Psychological Clinic by Leonard
=. Ayres, manager of the Russell Sage
Foundation investigation of backward
children is of interest to taxpayers, and
particularly to those who in addition to
paying taxes serve gratuitously as mem
bers of school boards. Mr.. Ayres states
that in tifty-five American cities there are
100000 backward children, of whom
more than 100000 are spending their
second, third or fourth year in the same
grade. He estimates that nearly S14,-
100000 are spent annually in these
cities in wearisome repetitions of
courses. and that if the fifty-five are ac-
cepted as representative of the other
cities of the American system, I'VE are
spending each year about S26,00O.OO0
in the wasteful process of repetition"
The backward child must be educated.
and if effort TO keep him in the
procession Of ''hopefuis" continuously
moving through the grades is wasteful
it ought to be abandoned The loss Of
when advancement is hampered, but for
the entire class for which he is a drag.
because by remaining in the grades in
ordinately as he moves through them he
clogs the classes and makes them larg-
or.
There are ways by which the back
ward pupil can be handled with mini
mum loss and the Milwaukee school
board has already attacked the problem.
Snrcial teachers NAV be aupOintpd IN
assist the laggards by giving them direct
attention in their various grades. or
extra classes may be organized for the
slow pupils in which instruction is more
direct and effective because Of the com
parative smallness Of the classes. The
loss in this way can be confined 10 the
backward pupil, and to the school sys-
TEN. whose finances will suffer a smaller
drain if special effort is made to assist
the detectives than if such pupils were
permitted to get along as best they can
and serve az drags to their fellows.

STEADY SUPPLY OF PEARLS,
Purpose of Scientific Investigation in the
Ceylon Fisheries.

The pearl banks of Ceylon. it may be
pointed out, are merely sand hanks
formed of sandstone and concrations
upon which isolated masses of coral
grow without forming reefs, so that
severe disturbance of the oyster bed may
very easily be set up. 1t is found that
the collection of the spat by natiye div
ers is slow, but the most satisfactory.
The pearl bearing cestode is not n
true oyster for edible purposes but is
more closely allied to the nlussel family.
1t differs from the ordinary animal i'm
having a "byssus," or bundle of tough
threads, by means of which it secures n
hrmer adherence to suitable materials.
and similar to the facilities possessed l,v
the muSsel. Attempts are being made
IN cultlvating this oyster by artificial
impregnation Of the pearl forming larvae
Investigation is being carried out TO as
certain the origin of the spat and how
it periodically disappears. In connec-
ton with this research a thorough study
Is being made of the sea currents OH
and around the oyster banks and of the
surface drift in the gulf.
The fishery is very intermittent. Prior
! to 1903 there had been none for twelve
gears, aud the situation became so seri-
| Gus that commission was appointed TO
investigate the subject. In 1905 the har-
vest was the greatest on record. Over
| SO,OOU,UUU oysters were collected, real
| izlng Sl,250,000 two-thirds going to the
islands treasury. In the subsequent
two years it dwindled regularly, and
1908 proved barren. 1t is against the re-
currence Of Intermittent fat and lean
years that scientific developments are be
ing conducted 80 that the fishery each
year may be of more steady and reliable
proportions. BY the assistance Of
science ii is anticipated that the specu-
latiye character of the enterprise may
be almost eliminated.

Cntting Down the Estimates

When at a recent interview President
Taft urged upon the Secretary of the
Navy and the Secretary of War the ne
cessity of cutting down the estimates of

Dickinson both set 10 work with Il good
will To study the possibilities for econ
omy and put the Presidents wish into
practical effect.
But the President has concluded that
even further saving can be effected and
has sent back the War Department esti-
mates with the request that they be re-
duced about $3G,OOO,OOO. In that case
