ENCOURAGING BRIGHT PUPILS.

Parents and educators everywhere
will be interested in the experiment
now being tried in the Cincinnati
public schools OF establishing a class
room for especially bright pupils,
which would appear to be the logical
accompaniment OF the classroom TOT
backward pupils. The proposition
that II is as unfair to hold back the
apt or clever child in the ranks OF
the mediocre as II is to speed the dull
pupil to a pace he cannot maintain
appeals as reasonable and common
sense. II will be argued with much
force that the system which makes
provision for caring for the backward
pupil cannot be justified without pro
vision is made for accompanying the
needs OF those who can advance more
rapidly than the average. says the st.
Paul Pioneer Press. The proposition
simply provides for the application
10 schooling Of the plan, that is gen
orally adopted and followed in the
business world, where wage scales,
chances of promotion and all the ad
vantage. are based on the ability OF
those employed to advance rapidly In
one line or another This has not
been the rule in the school where the
system has been adjust ed to meet the
requirements OF the average pupil,
with special provision made for those
below the average. The net result OF
this system has been retardation. for
which the pupils are not to blame
The Cincinnati educators have decid
ed that the old system of trying to
make all children fit the same edu
cational pattern is unsatisfactory In
general and particularly unfair to the
bright pupils, who are to be given spe'
cial attention. under more sensible
and equitable method.

Washington.-Jud Il. II. Gary,
chairman of the executive committee
OF the United States Steel Corpora

committee Of the House all OF the
details of the absorption OF the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company by the
United States Steel Corporation.
Judge Gary told the committee that
his corporation stood behind j. PIER
pont Morgan in averting a disastrous
financial upheaval in 1907.
Judge Gary laid before the COM
nittee the inside facts o. the all
night conferences that were held in
]. p. Morgan's library In the nerve
racking days of the 1907 panic; de-
scribed how he and Henry j. FLICK

Judge Gary denied emphatically
the statement made by John w.
Gates before the House committee
that the taking over of the Tennessee

clared that the purchase was made

friends to save that concern from

nancial calamity that would certain

The United States Steel Corpora

repeated urgings, finally stepped into
the breach and paid 100 for a stock
which they did not consider at the
time to be worth more than 60. The
difference of 35 points represented
what the United States Steel Corpora
ton felt was its duty to pay to aver
the threatening panic. In all II
