MOHAMMEDAN EDUCATION.
Practical Work in the Open Done in
Sierra Leone.

From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
Another visit Of inspection has been
made to the Mohammedan school at Bo,
in the Sierra Leone hinterland. Judging
from the report Of the inspectors. which
is published in the Gazette, a high stand
ard is being kept UP by the scholars. One
particularly pleasing feature is the man.
ner in which manual and technical train
ing are taking the place of clerical train
ing. which seemed for SO long to be the
only method carried out in West Africa.
The following paragraph shows how the
pupils are responding to the efforts of
their teachers:
AN open-air lesson on agriculture was
given to classes ! and II on the model
farm in the school village. In this farm
bananas, pineapples. ETC., are grown on
improved lines. There were also many
banana stocks ready to be planted in
holes already dug for the purpose.
"Of all the subjects taught in the school
agriculture seems to be the most attrac-
tive to the pupils. They may have recog-
niZed the fact of its supreme Importance
in their country. They have shown very
keen interest in its study.
The open-air lesson above referred to
having lasted beyond the usual hour for
closing the school, as an instance Of the
interest taken by all the boys in the study
Of agriculture, the other pupils who had
been taking other subjects in the school,

school was closed. FASTENED to the model
farm and joined their companions in the
closing part OF the lecture.
The boys are being trained so as not
TO despise labor, and to this end they are
made to assist laborers by doing light
work such as laying lines. gathering ma
nuring material, etc, when plots of land
in the school compound are being cleared
for planting purposes. They clean the
surroundings of their houses and make
drains. They vie with one another in this
latter respect. and as a result their viii

The Mecca Pilgrimage.

FROM tue new 1OIk sun
The annual Mohammedan pilgrimage to
Mecca has been made memorable this
year by the participation of the Khedive
Of Egypt. Abbas Hilmi is the first OF his
family since the great Mehemet All early
In the nineteenth century to undertake
the journey. The khedive was accompa-
MED by his mother and his aunt, Princess
Nazli. A large retinue of Egyptian and
Turkish soldiers attended him. and more
than 500 camels were requisitioned, so
that his progress through the HedjaZ was
truly royal. We are told that he recited
the prescribed prisons while walking seven
times around the kaaba, that he kissed
the black stone. drank from the sacred
waters of Zemzem. the spring that saved
Hagar and 1shmael from dying OF thirst;
that he made the requisite trips to Mount
Ararat and paid his tribute to the tomb
Of the prophet at Medina. In fact, he per-
formed all the devOtiOnS that entitle him
to the rank OF Haiti. Upon his return he
suffered the Inconvenience of the ordi-
nary pilgrim by being detained in quaran-
tine for five days at Tebruk.
Although Abbas Hilmi has always been
most scrupulous in his observance of all
/ 'gh in the faith. this pilgrimage will have
the political effect of greatly strengthen
ing its influence in the Moslem world. The
leaders of the faith see in this visit the
possibility of reforms In the condition OF
unrest and disorder prevailing around the
holy places as important as those brought
about by the khedive's ancestor, Mehemet
Ali. 1t was Mehemet Ali who routed the
Wahabys, Moslem fanatics who opposed
pilgrimages and who for many years
made the approach to the holy shrines
uncertain and perilous. The present UNI
settled conditions in Mecca are due to a
great extent to the political rivalry OF
factions and to the extortionate demands
made upon the pilgrims At Medina the
tically a civil war between the historic
factions Of 1bn Rashid and Ibn Saud, the
Arabian Montagues and Capulets.

Fatal Familiarity.
Ncw London Da.

From the New London LAY
Familiarity with danger of a certain
kind has the effect very frequently Of
making person careless. and those who
know the most about what is involved in
their actions are frequently the victims
of accidents that would be easily avoided
by one who had less information on the
subject but more caution. The fact Is IL

Cartoons Convincing.

From the point of view OF ability the
poster cartoons stand very high. In no
previous election In this country have
SO many really excellent drawings been
on exhibition in the public thoroughfares.
Art has, for once, stepped into an cleo
ton contest, with the result that instead
of walking along the streets reading out
newspapers or our own thoughts, we
bump into one another as we cast side
long chances at the hoardings. At the
same time / pity the elector who goes to
the political cartoon for guidance as to
where he shall place the mystic cross at
the polls.
It is the business of the arts to be per-
suasive. and the cartoOnistS have fulfilled
this mission to the letter So convincing
are these posters that l defy any one to
single out the worthiest cause from their
teachings. The result of all this pictorial
energy is nothing but bewilderment.

is, the need of two votes, one for the

will not accomplish this. 1t is clever, 1t
is entertaining: but the caItoonists Of
either side are SO convincing that If we
depended upon them no one would vote
at all. The contest of the cartoonists
amounts to nothing short OF a political
stalemate. One cause of this is not far

Men. as 1 know them, are all separate
individuals, with similar aims and de-
sires, but each expressing his aims and
desires in his own way. Where they have
tastes in common, these tastes are the
same in all classes. All the picture pNs-
ters appeal to these broad sentimenta
and they all seem to be saying the same
thing In different ways. In fact, they
are nothing more than a pictorial ex-
preston of platform oratory. And any
