IDEAS IN EDUCATION
By FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN.

work since she assumed the reins Of
school government. One of these innova-
lions is to secure the consent of factory
owners to the employment of boys in
pairs, one boy to work one week and
the other the next. In this way the fac
tory suffers no depletion in it's force,
while the boys are enabled to go to
school, In this way many a poor family
in Chicago can send it's boys to school,
the while having an income from their
work. The children's playground move
ment has reached its highest success in
Chicago, where $500, 900 is spent each
year. New York, second among the cities
in total expenditure, gives only 1923, 900 to
Fairgrounds. Chicago gives as much to
the playground movement as all the other
important cities together.
Some one has been gathering statistics
concerning college and non-college wom-
EN-. More than 5000 random inquiries
were sent out and answers received there
to. 1t was found that college women
have better health than non-college wom-
en-, 77S out of each 1000 enjoying excellent
health. The average college woman was
found to marry later in life, but her
family is slightly larger than that of the
non-college woman. The former also has
the advantage of the non-college woman
in height and weight, due, perhaps. to
her athletics. On the other hand, college
men are less inclined to marry and have
smaller families than non-college men.
Statistics of Harvard graduates show that
training there furnishes the young man
with kind Of armor against Dan Cupid's
darts, and that in most cases this lasts
for number of years.

Two Sons Which for You?
BY Cynthia Grey

1 heard a young minister preach a
sermon in a small city on a recent Sun
day, taking the story OF the prodigal son
as his text. He told an imaginary story
TO produce his point of two sons in a
modern respectable family. He described
one son as cold, calculating. methodical,
unsmiIing. rigid. unprepossessing, indus
trious and moral. This son was regular
in his habits at home and at his Office.
He was his fathers business partner.
The minister thought il strange that the
boy had few warm friends, and that his
mother was not nearly as fond OF him
as she was of his brother.
The brother was described as full-blood-
ed. temperamental. enthusiastic, smiling.
jolly, clever. handsome and a good fello "
generally. having many friends. His
mother adored him. He was always kiss
ing and loving her. His father was proud
OF him. until
He got to drinking. He was a poor
business man. He went clear to the
bad.
The preacher blamed this boy, scored
him numerically, and put a gltterng
halo on the head of his brother.
Finally the minister asked: What
father in this congregation would not pre-
fer the steady, self-possessed SOM" All
the fathers seemed to bow and say:
-Thta's the boy for us"
The minister didn't address a similar
question 10 the mothers. was hoping

Marie Eugene de Guzman de Porto
Carrero, Comtesse de Teba, Marquesa
de Moya, ex-Empress Eugene of the
French, is living so quietly and secluded
that most people labor under the i'm
preston that she died long ago. The
once famous imperial lady, though
nearing her 85th birthday, appears to
be enjoying life quite as thoroughly as
in the days of her power and splendor.
She resides at Farnsborough hall, on
an estate in England, surrounded by
picturesque scenery. She has visited
Paris often, of course very quietly, for
members of French royalty are persona
non grata in that republic. 1t was upon
one of these occasions that President
Fallieres and Premier Clemenceau. while
walking along one of Paris famous
boulevards met a very old lady, feebly
leaning upon the ram of her escort. M.
Clemenceau bowed to her, wnereupon
the president inquired who the fine old
lady" was. She" replied the premier,
lis Eugeuie, former empress of France"

ing the war.
II was married on the 18th day of Janu-
airy, 1861 My good wife is still living. we
have had ten children, nine living now
and so grandchildren and fve great grand
children.
IT was in the siege at Vicksburg, Miss. /;

knapsacks under an old gin house. we
were defeated and lost them every one
My knapsack had two pictures in IT, one
of Mrs. NJ A. Green and one OF Miss SUI
san Green. II anybody found those pic
lures and will return them to me l will
pay all expenses.
II saw one man at Big Black river that
some Yankee had stuck a bayonet in him.
1t went in his mouth and came out near
his ear. l have forgotten his name, but
1 think he was from Alabama. If he
should be still living and sees this l am

But we ate up all the old cattle and
