work for the Educators.

The recent convention of the Ma
tional Educational association was
notable for a prevailing spirit of criti-
cism by educators of the system of
popular education in this country. One
Kansas City instructor went so far In
''our present system of teaching has
produced luxuriant crop Of spineless
and animated nobodies."
That is very strong language and it
is q severe arraignment of modern
methods OF teaching, possibly too rad
zeal, but the fact that 1t is made by a
man whose business is to teach must
entitle it to consideration. What
must strike everybody is that since
these men and women have discovered
the defects in the system it is their
duty now to find the remedy and apply
it without delay. No matter what the
problem is, they should be equal to It,
and If they are they are failing in their
duty; let them get together, decide
upon just what is wrong and what is
right and try to readjust the system
upon correct lines.
or course, it will appear by care
full survey that, while the teacher and
school authority can do much to cor
rect existing evils. there is much more
he cannot do. but that must be done
by higher authorities, by the state, or
by people themselves. In this case
1t becomes the duty of the professional
school man to direct the work OF Inn
provement. Fundamentally our pub
lie school system is sound. and what
ever defects exist must be superficial
and not organic, but they should
nevertheless be corrected, for the pub
lie schools are among the pillars of our
national life.

The Heat East and West.

Summers sun Is no respeeter Of

Transmississipp country would make

a difference between the conditions
and effects of the heat In the east and

On one day during the excessively

Evanesoent Fame

A new edition OF that indispensable
volume which goes by the title,
who's Who in American" gives us
some entertaining, II not Instructive,
statistics of the instability Of fame.
This compendium of biographical in
formation about contemporary people
more or less distinguished is made up
on definite plan so as to embrace
those who are most conspicuous in
every worthy walk of life, and also
the following, without regard to
notability or prominence in any other
respect"
All members Of congress.
All governors Of states. territories and
ihland possessions of the United states
now in office
All United states judges
All Judges of state and territorial
courts of highest appellate jurisdiction.
Members of the cabinet
Federal department heads.
All officers of the army above the rank
OF colonel, and Of the navy above the
rank of captain.
All American ambassadors and minis
ters plenlpotenttary
Heads OF all the larger universities and
colleges.
Members of the National Academy Of
Sciences and of the National Academy
Of Design.
heads Of the leading national societies
devoted to educational and scientific
aims.
bishops and chief ecclesiastics OF all
~, Ia, tho Tn,
United States.
And others who are in like manner
chosen because of their Official relations
and affiliations.
The result of this fine-tooth combing
for "notables" has produced volume
containing 1886 biographies, being
an increase OF 1,151 since the preced-
ing publication two years ago. 1t is
also stated that 1850 names are omit
ted which appeared in the last edition
of which GA are known to have died,
leaving zoe dropped because regarded
as eligible subjects for inclusion
only so long as they filled the places
which brought them at least tenn
porarily into public notice"
Here, indeed, we have cold COM
mentary on the evanescence of fame.

reaching that pinnacle of glory enti-
thing them to shine in biographical
