PUBLIC SCHOOLS LOSE GROUND.
Attendance Not Keeping Up with
Growth OF Population.

The statement has Just been made
that smaller proportion of children
go to the public schools now than
went ten years ago. At the same
time the enrolment of students in
colleges has increased. The theory is
that the high cost of living takes the
poorer children from the public
schools and puts them to work. The
pinch Is not felt by the we'll to do,
who in increasing numbers send
their young folks to institutions of
higher learning.
The public school population is
reckoned on persons of the ages from
8 to 1S years. According to the
American Educational Review all di-
visions of the country show a decrease
with the exception of the Western.
The total returns indicate that
there were enrolled in 1907-08 some
69.32 per cent. of the school popula-
ton, while in 1900 7243 per cent.
were enrolled. The loss in New York

German Alcohol etllls.

An authority on alcohol stills says
that there are 10000 farm stills in
operation on as many farms in Ger
many. The German COVE nment per-
mits the farmer to produce a certain
amount Of grain or potato alcohol, the
amount depending uron the size and
location of the farm and the annual
demand for the product, upon the
payment of a reduced revenue tax.
Alcohol distilled in excess of the
quantity allowed is subject to the
higher rate of taxation. Denatured
alcohol, however, is not subject to
any tax.

The t;reafest t1Istor,an

BY common consent the greatest
of all historians is Thucydides. the
Greek, contemporary Of Pericles and
author OF the history Of the Pelopon-
nesian War. One of the greatest tri-
butes that can be paid to him is that
according to the estimate OF very
able critic, we have a more exact ac-
count of long and eventful period
by Thucydides than we have Of my
period in modern history, equally long
and eventful, and yet all this is com.
pressed into a single yclrr,e. For
concise, vigorous and yet n,ense pre-
sentation Thucydides has ne er been
equalled. He Is easily the king Of
historians.

Stenography.

To a limited extent the art of
shorthand writing, known as stenog-
raphy, was practiced by the ancients.
The freedmen of the poet Ennius,
Cicero, Seneca and other literary men
of Rome, are known to have resorted
to shorthand. The oldest known sys.
TEN since the Roman days Is that
called the "Ars Scribendi," dating
from the year 1872. DR.. Timothy
Bright's system, the first English
work on shorthand, dates from about
1888. Since then the approaches have
been steady toward the greatly i'm
proved methods of the present day.

Sir Isaac never attempted to tell

cal reasons thereof, or attribute forces
in a tcue and physical sense to GER

IeeIandlo WaysIde Poetry.

Mr.. N. p. Fenwiok, Jr., notices a
curious custom in Iceland of deposit

found by the next passerby. He
translates one so found by himself as
follows: 81 am sitting here late and
early; hungry and cold l linger. Sin
cere friend will you not warm the

crone supposed to inhabt the cairn.
