ton and make concessions to America
is the opinion of Hans Blank and Her
mann Muellensiefen, window-glass manu-
facturers Of Crangeldanz, westphalia,
Germany. who were seen at the New
Willard last night. The two Germans
are making tour of observation and
study of American glass manufactures
Tor the purpose of learning American
methods. with view to adapting them
to their own plants, If advantageous.
Germany is practically the only coun-
Try In Europe which produces potash.
Our exports to the United States are
not as high as American exports to Ger
many. 1t is quite obvious who would
De the sufferers in a tariff war. 1t would
not be Germany; that is quite certain.
The German press seems to favor a de-
clded stand against American demands
and present indications point to the Ger
man government following the advice Of
the newspapers
Speaking of the sociaIistic agitation in
Germany, Mr.. Blank said that if the So
cialists at any time attempt to overthrow
the monarchy. the army. which is ever
loyal to the throne. will make short work
of them.
There may be socialists in the army"
continued Herr Muelensiefen. but they
are in large minority. Should Germany
ever become entangled in war, every So
called socialist would offer his services
In defense of the Kaiser's flag. There is,
however. no danger OF the SociaIistic
party ever being the majority in the
Reichstag. We in Germany have no de-
side for war with England, and England
knows better than to precipitate hostili-
ties with Germany
Our Kaiser is beloved and popular.
and the greatness of Germany is to a
very large extent due to his exertions in
every line of effort

Of Ottawa. Il believe in frequent out
ing and gardening for children. In his
tory, would say frequent excursions in
this historically interesting locality
would be most beneficial. Yes: I would
say that boy ought to be taught to
ride horse and take care of 1t, and
each boy ought to be treated as an in
dividual in each subject, and not as a
member Of class. Book study should
be confined to the mornings between
and L. with adequate recess. The after
nature and manual training, at least two
hours being given to this.
There is too much indoor and book
study in our educational institutions. The
natural inclination of the human being
is to use the hands in doing things. and
we should follow natural instincts in or
der to secure natural results. We should
make the school attractive to the chill
dren. and not repulsive. Under the pre-
vailins system. the majority Of children
would prefer to stay away from school.
There is something wrong. / do not
wish to boast. but can say with all pro-
priety that my system attracts pupils:
