AWFUL RECORD OF MURDER
Estimated That We Now Have an
Average of 200 Week In
This Country.

Chicago.-A wellknown statistician
makes the statement that we now
have an average of 200 murders a
week, or 10000 every year, in this
country.
In Chicago there are 11S murders
year; in Paris, Is; III London, four
times as large as Chicago, 20; while
In three years the number of lives
taken in this way in this country
equals the total number lost by the
British army in the Boer war. The
number of murders in the United
States has increased four and a half
times in the last 20 years. The muir
der spots of the world seem to be
Italy and Mexico The number per
year In Italy is SO to the 1901 900
Much OF this killing comes from
our polyglot population, gathered
from all the countries of the world
jostling and crowding each other: the
loose habits which people take on
and the natural passions that in a
moment of excitement, give rise to
the taking of life.
To kill and main seems IN ha or
American ambition The railroads n,
the country are killing 10000 people
a year on the average. The steel
mills in many places have been great
slaughter houses. The autos, too are
piling up their lists of victims the
sports are adding theirs, and other
factors are entering in to swell the
total.
Malice and passion are the causes
OF crime and these ought to he
ourbed. Only two per cent of the
homicides in the country are brought
to punishment. and the reasons are
aversion to capital punishment and
the miscarriage of Justice. Capital
punishment is necessary, however, as
deterrent. Where 1t has been abol.
ished murder is on the increase.

Gently movement has been started to make
plastic art in the form of small models and figur-

pupils.
Strangely enough, the idea of giving the chill

CURED except to few of our school teachers. In
many schools the kindergarten sand box is about
the nearest approach to it, but in of the
public schools in great cities modelling in clay is
taught in the primary grades.
Modelling the concrete expression of the sense
of form, is the beginning of all art.
"The vital law lying at the root of all that
have ever tried to teach" says Ruskn. is the de-
pendence of all noble design in any kind, on the
sculpture or painting of organic FORM"
The appreciation of form, Mr. Schneider
gues be well taught when the
pupil has bit of clay in his hands, and that it is
natural is well proved by the desire of every

can. Give any normal child some clay and see
how easily 1t learns to model familiar objects
and how eagerly It amuses itself with this artistic
play. 1t is along the pathway of clay that
child can be most easily instructed being taught
skillfully as It gains skill by practice. 1t is ed

Joy of creation is aroused and stimulated and the

If left to its free will the child is apt to

guidance is necessary. To this end an entire
series of models have been set as a course that
will help to lay the foundation for later artistic

the general popularity of the post card.
Joseph Cundall. London artist, claims to
have issued the first Christmas card proper in
1876. 1t was lithograph, hand colored, about
the size of a lady's visiting card. In 1862 cards
of this character were first issued in large num-
bers. They were still of the visiting card size,
inscribed, simply, "a Merry Christmas" Later
holly, mistletoe embossed robins and figures and
landscapes were added until the present stage
has been reached.
AS forerunner of the Christmas card were
the school pieces" and christmas pieces of the
early part of the nineteenth century These were
sheets of plain writing paper surrounded with
elaborate pen fourishes and scrolls, and some
times headed with copperplate engravings, plain
and colored. Schoolboys used them at the hol
day season, says writer. for carefully writ

in composition and chirography. Charity boys
were large purchasers of these pieces and at
Christmas time used to take them around their
parish to show and at the same time to solicit
