u required of them is that they are

throughout all departments of the |
school. 1t is not only a treat to go |
through the school but 1t il lesson as |
well. In going through the different |
departments of the school Superintend- |
emit Writ and Prof. Sargent explained
the workings and system of each
room. 1T Is marvellous, the simplicity,
yet the completeness and exactness
with which the pupils are trained, even
the mfnutest details coming under the
scrutiny of Mr.. Wirt's corps of teach
ers. The building is kept immaculate
| iy clean throughout and special atten-
| ton is paid to ventilation and the
regulation of the light of the rooms
! The Boyville bank is one of the most
| interesting features of the school and
the foundation and training for his fu-
ture success in life is being laid in the
| Emerson ~chool today
The idea of placing the res possibility
on the boy or girl themselves is the
cause of the perfect order that now
| reigns at the school The attempt of
the instructors in taking care of over
| 1000 students in the school would be
| an impossibility. The various classes
appoint their own members as captains
| and they are responsible for the mem
bers of the class under their charge
In this way perfect order is main
tanned

The old idea of training the pupils In
all subjects has been discarded at the
| Emerson school and an object is being
! made to train the minds of the pupils
for that which they are best adapted
and which they intend to follow
| through life. That is. if a scholar in
tends to become a physician, the studies
OF chemistry, physics, botany and other
subjects pertaining to the practice of
| medicine Is given and other studies
that will be of little value to him are
discarded. An effort is made to find
out If possible what vacation a boy or
girl intends to follow and then they
are given as many studies that will At
them up for their future lives as posi-
BILE.
Statistics show that a large per cent
of the pupils leave school at the age of
!. 16 years old. If a boy or girl remains
in school after that time they are given
only the studies that will assist them
in their future life
The whole school system is an in
teresting one, and is of such a compre-
|, hensive plan that but few people have
any idea of its magnitude. 1t is as IL
were an education itself to go through
the different departments of the school,
and although all newspaper men think
they are wise, the members of the press
left the Emerson school yesterday aft
