The conditions under which a
street lamp should prove its efficiency
are very different from those which
govern the indoor lamp. This was
brought out clearly in a recent ad-
dress before the New York Section Of
the Illuminating Engineering Society
by DR.. Clayton H. Sharp. He pointed.
out that while in the building 1t is
advantageous to have much Of the
light Of a lamp pass upward and be.
reflected by the ceiling, in the case OF
a stree: lamp this would be a great
fault, for the vertical rays would be
lost. Only those rays that are cast
directly downward and horizontally
up and down the street car be util-
lied. For this reason he has devised
a reflector consisting of a pair of par
abolic mirrors arranged to throw the
rays in the direction Of the street, so
that practically all Of the light will
be used to best advantage. Thus, in.
place OF having the street lighted in
spots, as is now the case, a more
continuous illumination is provided

over the present form of government and that preparations for the introduc- ton of such bill at the next session of the legislature should be taken up now, Frank DeSouza of Phoenix is mak. ing an active campaign throughout the territory on the matter.
 The city council is in receipt O. a letter from Mir. DeSouza, asking for their opinion in the matter. His com munication is as follows:
 When the next legislature meets it will, without doubt, be. asked to pass an act enabling such Arizona cities as may desire to change from their present system to the commission plan for the government of cities.
 "I believe that the time to begin preparing the bill is right now. This preparation should include a careful study of the commission plan, it's adapta- bility to local conditions and the sup. port of the people. To get their support the features of the commission plan must be made plain and become widely known and understood.

 :" l have during the past few months gathered much data regarding the com. mission plan, and l would be pleased to answer any questions you care to ask. can also inform you where you can get much valuable information on the sub. ject if you are interested.
 "Arizona cities are not now as well governed as they should be; not be. cause of the public officials, because they are almost without exception able and competent, but by reason of in. adequate and antiquated laws. I con sider it the duty of our public officials to remedy the defects because they un. derstand them fully.
 Let me hear from you at once re- garding this important matter, as I much desire to get things started with out delay. It will take year to do the work properly"

operation of parents and schools is
most called for, and in which great
and permanent results may be easily
secured. The hours as prescribed by
the school authorities do not appear
to be in any sense a hardship, and
are, in fact, little enough if children
are to derive any adequate return
from the years spent in school. Where
there are individual cases in which
the prescribed home studies cannot
be performed with satisfaction with
in the period named. there is then
need for REIMBURSEMENT, and this is
best secured by consultation. Ex-
perience has shawn that in this di-
rection the mutual help of parent and
teacher, without which no system can
possibly be most effective, can be best
and most easily applied. The same
valuable teacher of all has also
shown that without home study of
some nature it is folly to attempt to
satisfactorily secure that conlbina-
ton Of education and instruction
which the world is today demanding
of its schools.

chile illustration in Wall street on
Wednesday of last week when the
Minnesota railway decision was an
nounced. The roads have been fret
full under the restrictive hand of the
general government The joyful re-
ception of the news of deliverance
from state regulation of rates rather
belied their protestations with re-
spect to the holding up of the demand
for higher schedules by the author
titles at Washington. At least, Wall
street celebrated the prospective re-
turn to federal jurisdiction by a
burst of animation and buying such
as had not been witnessed for months.
The rebound carried all the more sig
nificance from the fact that apathy
had been SO pronounced that the up-
heaval in Maine and other stirring
political developments gave no i'm
pulse to speculation.
The Minnesota rate law was prob
ably the most drastic piece of gran
ger legislation the railroads have en-
countered anywhere. The burden
some nature of the act in question
is comprehended in the sweepins
language Of the master in cllancery
declaring the statute unconstitution-
al, as being confiscatory in effect
and discriminatory as to commerce
between the states.
The decision incidentally is a slap
at Senator Cummins' proposition that
railroad rates should be so regulated
as to permit of net earnings not to
exceed five per cent on the capital
This appears to have been the basis
for the action of the Minnesota all.
thorities in fixing the rates complain
ed of by the railroads thereby affect
ed, and now pronounced confiscatory
The railroads, says the decision, are
entitled to earn seven per cent on
their valuation, a fact which will, in
the estimation of Wall street, "be OF
immense advantage to the companies
concerned" But the decision may
have greater effect than this. Doubt
less it will deter other states in the
granger belt from trying to give
force and effect to the policy advo-
| Gated by the radicals. And doubtless
also. the decision will be decried as
one subversive of the states rights,
despite the commerce clause of the
constitution.

Although little attention was paid
to the engineering difficulties that
were encountered in the building of
the Pilgrim monument when the pa
pers reported its dedication by Presi-
dent Taft last month, that feature is
probably the most interesting" re-
marked Joseph Michaels of Boston.
The monument, although about
half the height of the Washington

loftiest structure OF solid masonry in
this country. The Pilgrim monument
stands on hill of sand, and any one
but an engineer. would be convinced
that It's foundation is not at all ade-
quate. Nevertheless, the gales that
sweep over the end of Cape Cod have
not caused it to vibrate in the slight
est degree. Tests have been made

Ten leaders were then chosen and
each of these made up his group by
selecting the letters in his own name.

to a close with the singing of college

HOME STUDY Ry PUPILS

The plans offered by the school au-
thorties for Il limited amount Of
home study by pupils ought to bring
satisfactory results. The graduation
of the hours of study so that the task
will be fitted to the age and progress
OF the pupil is very satisfactory ar
rangement, and one that will call for
Very wise and judicious adjustment.
There have been very serious COM
plants made by responsible and right
thinking parents that their children
have had to carry an improperly ad-
justed load at school which has gen.
orally been ascrbed to the highly di-
versified and overloaded curriculum.
Especially is this condition brought
about in the cases of ambitious pupils
who conscientiouslv try to advance
their work at home and who in a
few cases. require to be repressed
But with the great majority of chill
dren the regulation and oversight of
their work must be along the lines
of steady and sustained effort In
such cases the Discipline which follows
upon the performance of a task at
stated times every evening will often
count for much more in the devel-
opment of desirable habits than will
the scholastic attachments.
Much has been said of the boys and
girls who have been permanently in
jured by over study. Often the i'll
health that is ascribed to too close
application to school duties may be
traced to other causes, chief amosg
which is the overindulgence in social
entertainment The number of hours
devoted by school children in the
United States to study is trivial when
compared to the work done by STU
dents of the same age in Germany
and other old world countries. But
the essential thing is that it be sys-
tematized and regularly performed.
This is direction in which the CO.
