England's Educational Sys-
TEN Fettered With Me
diaeval Methods.
TOILER'S TRIP IS
A REMARKABLE ONE

London, Eng. Dee. 16.-That millions
are wasted under the present system Of
| education in Great Britain was the
startling statement recently made by
Sir John Gorst. formerly vice president
for education. This has added fuel to
the fire Of criticism to which the plan
for universal education has been ex-
posed since its inception.
Sir John said among other things;
The majority Of those who care for the
welfare of the people and are experts
in education consider that the greater
part OF this money dnder the present
system is wasted and might as well, so
Tar as education is concerned. be thrown
into the sea Physical growth Of the
children Of the nation is, except in the
more advanced Of our great cities, in
sufficiently provided for = A
starved and stunted race is being al
lowed to grow up as a legacy for the
next generation to deal with. for in
most elementary schools children are
only drilled, not educated
Fettered BY Old System.
Originality OF teachers and children
is sternly repressed- The new education
by work first and books afterwards
introduced into the schools Of Bavaria
and spreading over Germany and else
where Is only partially known in Brit
Ism and Irish schools The higher and
university schools are still fettered by
medieval systems which make the
acquisition Of learning to be produced
at examinations the main work Of
students"
With the incoming of the new minis
ter of education. Sir John proposes a
radical revolution in the manner and
methods OF administering the educa-
uOnal grants.

 FILES UNUSUAL CHARGES
Husband Would Knock When Enter ing Home, and Would Not be Seated Until He Had For
 mai Invitation.

Alleging that after more than thirty years of their married life, her nus band had become so enstrauged from her that continuance of the married relations was unbearable. Mrs. I. Casteyens filed an action for divorce in Chancery Court yesterday asking legal separation from A. T. Castevens.
 The complaint is unusual. It sets forth that the couple had been mar ried for thirty years and had been husband and wife until last Monday, when conditions were such that a separation was necessary.
 Mrs. Casteyens sets forth that her husband during the past year had not come to their home except on an in- yitation and that when he would come he would knock at the door in very informal manner, and that when he was admitted would not sit down until he had been invited to be seated.
 The petitioner claims she is 5s years of age, and that her husband is worth $4o.000. and that aside from legal separation she receive certain remuneration in the decree.

long enough for the weeds to get a
start, when 1t should be thoroughly
manured and then planted.
The rows should be about two inches
wide and the seed should be scat

soil should be firmed into the soil by
passing a roller over 1t, after which
the seed should be covered very light
ly with a rake.
To prepare the ground for celery,
rows should be made about four feet
apart. and a light application of well
rotted stable manure and nitrate Of
potash placed in the burrows.
The plants taken from the seed
bed should be set about eight inches
apart in the row and great care
should be observed In placing the
roots in their natural position without
crushing and doubling them up. The
soil then must be drawn firmly about
the plants and all weeds must be kept
down. Under good conditions celery
plants grow very rapidly. Soon after
the plants are well started. they
should be given light application OF

which are gradually withdrawn until
the trench is nearly filled, leaving the
tops above the surface. Then a little
straw is placed over the tops and held
down by an occasional shovelful OF
earth and this is added to as the
weather becomes colder.
Some growers blanch their celery

of drain tile and covering up the top
with a coarse cloth or litter.
