THE experiment Is worth trying.
for the older method is failure. Our
public school teaching, or lack OF
teaching, is largely responsible for the
increase in crime. The most intellt-

many OF them are watching this ex-
pertinent of ours with deep interest.

Certainly" was the reply. But we
should save more millions than it
would cost. for 1t would largely de-
populate our reformatories, prisons,
jails and hospitals. We had far bet

The Ferrer school is not yet fur
nished. The walls are bare save for
a few striking pictures; the floors are
almost bare; the furniture is OF the
cheapest, but there are flowers on the
tables and mantlepiece and brightly

children, and everything is scrupu-
lousy clean.

Of the play bill, were very common.
There would be musical play,
dances, comic song and a farce on
the one evening, and on another a
musical farce in two acts, followed by
a burletta with music in three, would
furnish the entertainment.
Evidently the Boston1ans Of those
days enjoyed farcesUand musical
shows as much as their descendants
of today, and apparently the manage
ment of the fremont did not dare to
give them an evening of straight"
plays. AS matter of fact, there
were few high-class plays seen dur
ing that first month at the fremont;
and as that was the only theater
open in the city, this should be taken
as showing the taste of the playgoers
of that time. A few standard dramas.
like "Pizzaro," "The Rivals" and Col

PLIGHT Of a BibIiophiIe.

The opening of the catalogues which
arrive by post affords book buyers
some exciting moments. Charles Mon
selet, in his "Curiosites Litteraires,"
tells Of a friend Of his living at Bor-
deaux who, glancing through Paris
booksellers catalogue, saw the title
Of book which he had vainly sought
for 80 years. Looking at the clock, he
found there was just time to catch the
morning express for Paris. Stopping
only to take some money from his
cash box, he dashed off to the station,
and arrived at the bookshop In time
to secure the prize. AS he wrapped up
the book the shopman remarked: Il

looked astonished, and the bibliophile

Because something OF that nature
