DENTAL WORK IN
SWEDISH SCHOOLS
Surgery Has Greatly Re-
duced AbnOrmalities.

Stockholm, Nov. lin Swedish schools
dental surgery comes in for a great deal
of attention. Sweden, with it's 5,5OOOOO
inhabitants. has about thirty complete
dental surgeries for school children while
Germany, with 6, 100000, has only 100.
In Sweden's dental surgeries for school
children a journal is kept in regard to
every child. Surgeries are open every
day, and the young patients are treated
by a dental surgeon and his assistant
Hitherto dental surgery has been free of
charge, but It is now proposed to charge
those children able to afford 1t a small
sum yearly for the treatment of their
teeth. Experience proves that both the
children and their parents value the den
tai treatment more II they do not get It
quite free Of charge.
In order to find out the effect OF dental
treatment upon school children, a circular
containing a series of questions was dis
tributed among the teachers in one OF
the largest schools in Stockholm. From
the replies It has been discovered that
absence from school on account OF tooth
ache since the establishment OF dental
surSeries has been almost nil
The fact that thS children are quieter
and more attentive since the opening OF
the surgeries has also been ELECTED from
the replies, and various other improve
ments from a hygienic point OF view
have been experienced

object of modern teaching Is to get the

neuveTs the commanders OF the opposing
forces are both Japanese trained.
There is a minister of war, who has
a seat in the cabinet when military
affairs are under discussion. The pres
ent occupant is a Manchu named Yin
Chang, who was trained for some years
in the German and Austrian armies,
and has twice been minister to Berlin.
He accompanied the regent, Prince
Chun, on his expiatory mission to Ger
many. His sympaties are naturally
with the country in which he was edu-
Gated. On the other hand, the sympa-
thies of the bulk Of the officers under
his command, their instincts and train
ing, are to a marked extent Japanese.
More than 700 Chinese officers trained
in Japan hold command in the Chinese
army, and there are still so in Japan
completing their training. Japanese
teachers in China itself are much re-
duced in number.

There were sixty; there are at present
seven only. namely. one in Canton, one
in Wuchang, and five in Paotig-fu, Of
whom two will return to Japan before
the end of the year, their places not being
filled. There are three or four German
instructors, but no British. Practically
all the teaching in the army and in the
military schools is in the hands of Chi

mended that morals be taught in the pub

LAS 1 understand the matter, and l
am in hearty sympathy with 1t, the aim
is to teach the children OF the United
States the Importance OF right conduct

toward the State and nation. No part Of
education is so vital. because society,
good or bad. depends on the persons who
constitute it. Integrity, truthfulness, So

To-day, yes. The answer is manifest
Not so fifty years ago. Once America
was divided into two classes: men who
worked with their heads-Iawyers, physi-

teachers; and men who worked with their
hands-farmcrs, mechanics, and day la

Paris, Nov. 1O.-There are two camps
at the present moment in the dress
making world, and We are keenly inter-
ested in their fight for leadership in
the world of fashion. There are fol-
lowers of the crinoline movement, and
others OF the statuesque line, but in
the end the Tine" will be victorious
from mere force OF circumstances.
There is no room for crinoline in an
age when women are working in Of
fees, like men, and must take up as
little material space as a man. II she
becomes aggressively voluminous in
her skirts, she would raise a fresh
barrier to her position, which is al
ready dificult enough to maintain.
On the stage we have a pretty sure
indication OF the tastes OF the day, for
il must not be forgotten that over here,
the seat of artistic dressing, the lead
ing actresses and the authors call in
the aid of the big courtier almost as a
collaboration. So we get the essence
OF taste and proportion in the scenes
that play in the drawing-rooms of a
"grande dame" and can Judge to a
nicely Of the effect Of a train or a
drapery.
We had an excellent example OF this
in the toilette made for Nine. Jane
Nue." They were the robes Of prin-
cess, and in every way excellent.
One Woman Gains Honor.
Promotions to the Legion of Honor
are very rare among women. Attempts
have been made by her admirers to
obtain the distinction for Nine. Sarah
Bernhardt. but the name OF the great
tragedienne is not yet added to the
roll.
However. in the list Of recent promo
tions figures the name of a. woman,
Mile. Malmanche, who has been made
a chevalier OF the Legion OF Honor in
consequence of her successful efforts
in organizing commercial education for
young girls. Through Mile. Mailman
che's endeavors, girls have been able
to receive q training which has en-
abled them to fll positions IN banks,
business firms, and in the public serv-
ice. She has opened up careers for
poor girls, who, up to 1870, could not
enter ofices. Mile. Malmanche is,
therefore, regarded as a public bene-
factor, and worthy OF the signal dis
tinction which has been conferred upon
her.
New ParisIRn Models.
We are growing somewhat tired Of
