The Maine Report.

Although the report Of the board
investigating the wreck Of the
Meme will cause no sensation, it
is the most direct official charge
yet made that the ship was delib-
erately destroyed BY the action Of
Spanish officials. The report says
that the ship was destroyed by her
own magazines, which exploded
as the result of the explosion be-
meath her hull of a low form of ex-
plosive. This can mean nothing
but a regular mine, such as is
planted in harbors for their de-
tense, and whose location is
known only to harbor and army
officials.
AS the Maine was directed by
the harbor officials to move from
her first anchorage and take posi-
tlon directly above this mine,
there must have been 9 plot to de-
stroy her. In no other official re-
port has there been such 9 direct
putting OF responsibility upon the
spanish officials. It Is isintimated

chest about twice as big as the box in
which a carpenter carries selected
lot Of tools around with him on his
shoulder. A row Of augur holes bored

There were only three or four peo

with that chest on the floor in front
he would about once In so often raise

In due course Of time the train ar.
rived at the station where the man
was to get off, and then he hooked
the lid of that chest down and took
1t by the handle and walked out in
the most matter of fact manner pos.

feet away from the foot of the steps

they can do.
"We try to teach them too
much and the result is they come
out with a superficial knowledge
about lot of things but no ac-
curate knowledge about anything.
And another view of it is that this
over-educating of them makes
them disinclined to work with
their hands. That am absolutely
certain of.
"We are now bringing boys and
girls out of the common schools
who are taught SO much and who
think they know SO much that
they won't work any longer with
their hands. They say, "Let
other people work with their
hands," and they can get a job
where they can sit on a high stool
at books or at a typewriter. They
simply won't work. And the
girls refuse to do housework,
That is all there is to it.
"It is bad for the country.
There is a shortage of workers all
over the country. Those born
here and brought up in the
schools won't work with their
hands. AT all events they don't
want to work.

TRAFFIC IN SOUTH AMERICA
How Congestion and Accidents Arc
Avoided In the Streets Of
Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires is very much unlike
our American cities. In the first place,
there are no sky scrapers. The high
est building does not exceed seven or
eight stories. Then there are miles
upon miles of streets with buildings
of one story predominating 1t is laid
out In rectangular blocks. average
about 400 feet on each side. The
streets are narrow, and even in the
residence section they are generally
built clear up to the street line. The
principal business streets, such as
Florida, Cuyo, Cangallo, Bartolome
Mitre, San Martin, 25th of May, etc,
are only SO feet wide, and you will
wonder how the traffic is managed,
says Travel. 1t is done in this wise:
Street cars and vehicles are allowed to
move only one way. On the adjoining
street they move in the opposite direc-
tion. 1t is surprising how this plan
helps to solve a serious problem of
congestion. Cabs and automobiles
dash along with seeming disregard OF
human life. yet few accidents result.
A uniformed policeman is stationed at
each street intersection where traffic
is congested and assists In the protec-
tion of foot passengers and drivers.
This police force. made up of men
with Indian blood in their veins. i'm
presses the visitor as most efficient.

that the full report will not be
published, probably because it
contains discussion of the evil
dences which fix the responsibility
upon the Spanish officials, but the
declaration that the original ex-
plosion was Of a large mine is
sufficient. N
Such mine could not have
been put in place after the ship
was bouyed there. There can be
no escape from the conclusion of
deliberate destruction of the ves-
sci through official action, if the
opinion Of the board as to the
character Of the external explosion
be accepted.
However,i it makes little differ
once, SO far as our war for the
freedom Of Cuba is concerned,
That war needs no Maine accident
to justify IT. 1t would have come
a little later anyhow. And II

Free School Furbelows.

Mayor Gaynor does not ap-
prove New York's present system
Of educating children. He thinks
there is an attempt to teach them
too much; to give them a super
fetal knowledge of many things |
instead of accurate and thorough |
knowledge Of few things. He
thinks this is bad for the children.
He believes also that it is mis-
take to teach foreign languages in
the public schools. He says he
has yet to find a child who learned
a foreign language we'll enough in
the New. York schools to talk it.
The Mayor said all this and
much more to the II men and
women he appointed to the Board
OF Education a few days ago.
They form nearly one-fourth of
the board and the Mayor called
their attention to this fact, inti--,
mating that he expected them, and
if they agreed with him, to i'm
press their views on the other
members.
~ have notion to say a word
to you," said the Mayor. "It is
what Iwould say to the whole
board if | dared coup there and
say a word to SO many people.
81 have notion thatthose in
charge of the city's common
schools are trying to do too much.
What I mean Is | think we are
trying to teach the children too
much. The result is that we do
not teach them we'll. What pre-
cisely mean is there are too many
subjects taught.
"When you overload children
they get a disgust for the whole
thing and they do not learn much.
| know that was my experience
when I was in the common
schools. I noticed it was easy to
discourage children, although we
were taught only the essentials,
only few things. In the navy
the maxim is that the speed OF a
squadron at sea is that Of the
slowest ship. Now the speed
with which class can go along
must have some rule like that to
} apply to it.
81 do not mean that it should &c

scholar. Ii that were so 1t would
scarcely go along at all. But there
