LECTURE is MUCH ENJOYED.

Gilbert McClurg's lecture last even
ing in the Y. NJ. G. A. gym was not so
largely attended as the lecture war
ranted but those present enjoyed ev-
cry word and were keenly interested
in the splendid streopticon pictures he
used TO illustrate his talk.
Texas" was the subject of the ioc-
ture, and it was handled in a very able
manner. Mr.. McClurg's perfect deliv-
cry and the succession of witty 1t RIGS
that he rendered combined to make the
travelogue an unusually enjoyable al d
interesting entertainment.

ccount of my own personal expert

account of my own personal expert
ence.
For several years I was employed
in one of the largest offices in Topeka
ly all applicants for positions. This ex-
animation consisted of arithmetic,
spelling and writing. The applications
averaged about one per day. The de-
dCcriOn5 in arithmetic consisted of SIM
pie problems which any boy or girl
with common school education should
handle with ease, but regardless of this,
the, majority of the applicants could
not secure a grade above 20 per cent
and the high school student was no
exception.
..The grades secured in spelling were
beyond the belief of anyone who has
never been in touch with anything of
this kind. Each applicant was given
10 simple words of every day use and
it was very seldom that two-thlrds OF
these words would be spelled correctly.
An applicant who turned in an exam
ination paper with a grade of 100 in
spelling. was looked upon as a Won
der and nine times out of ten was
found to be the product of some bust
ness college or district school. 1t might
be we'll - state here. that it was a
rare occurrence for q graduate from a
district school to fail in these exami-
nations.
by questioning a number of appli-
cants in regard to certain problems
which they failed to work, they would
invariably make the statement that
they never did understand how to
work them This can be explained by
recital of the system used by most
tea chers in the city schools.
Il found that it was the rule for
scholars to prepare their lessons at
home ard hand al papers to the teach
Ell when class was called. These pa
rers were graded by the teacher or an
were found to be incorrect, the paper
was marked accordingly and returned
to the pupil without an explanation.
Thus the pupil was allowed TO pass ever
the problem, knowing that it was
wrong, but with no steps taken to
show them how to make the proper
deduction.
1T would seem that teachers should
be hired to educate pupils in things
they do rot understand and not TO
merely show them where they erred.
If the pupil is to secure the necessary
information for preparing his or her
lessons, at home. why not allow the
roother to grade the papers ana DC
away with the large expense of main
tanning the present school system.
Before closing I wish to state that
