THE GOOD LAUNCH CLARA.

Charlie and Benny one very fine day
Took Charles new launch for jaunt down
the bay.
With Charles at the engine and Ben at the
wheel
They skim through the water as fast as an eel.
Soon both settle down to enjoy this fine trip,
And Ben says to Charlie "now let's take a SIP
Try some of this brew, made it last night;
Drink all that you want for l know it's all
right"
Each took big draught and then back to
work,
At length on the fishing grounds they do arrive
Where fish are found thicker than bees in
hive.
The time passes quickly, before others aware
They are twelve. miles away and for home
must prepare.
The anchor is hoisted and slowed safe away,
And Charlie makes ready to run up the bay
Ben seizes the wheel the good ship to guide,
While Charlie the engine to crank up he tried.
be tugs and he haus and he tries every plug,
But from that old engine there's never chug.
Now Ben scans the sea for the sight of sail,
For he sees his friends efforts are of no avail
Quoth Ben to himself, NOW here's nice fix,
With Charles and the Clara I'll ne'er again
I'm far, far from home with no prospect in
sight
'Cept to camp on the Clara all through the
long night"
But Charles said to Ben, "Pve nice pair of
oars,
Aad soon Wen be pulling to old Belfast shores"
Now rowing twelve miles is no joking matter,
And Ben was as mad as Mother Goose's halter
They bend to their task with never word,
And the swish of the waters is all that was
heard
They are without brew and they are without
light,
And like two dumb Holsters they pull, most all
night.
ter hours of rowing, tits now two o'clock,
land all exhausted upon the old dock.
tNew, Charlie" says Ben, Just listen to me,
Ana trip with the Clara again you would take,
! aoHeaven's sake, man, try old Kirby Lake,
And if You get stranded you won't need an oar,
r or You can jump over and tow her ashore.

AMERICAN SCHOOLS FAR AHEAD.
That is the Opinion of a Boston Superin-
tendent

That is the Opinion of Boston superin-
tendent.
Stratton D. Brooks, superintendent of
public schools, who has been abroad sew
eral months studying European school
systems by authority of the Boston
school board, has returned to his desk.
He visited England, Germany, Italy.
Austria and Denmark and was delegate
to the international meeting of instruc
tors in physical instruction in the last
named country. Speaking of the essen
tial differences between the German and
American school systems, Mr.. Brooks
said:
MANY details of the German school
system can undoubtedly serve as sug-
gestions for desirable improvements in
our own schools, but the German school
system as a whole if transferred to
America would fall far short of accom-
plishing what the American people ex
pect from their schools.
''The first great difference is that the
aim, or at least the result, of the Ger
man system is to train pupils to obedi-
ence to laws made by some one above
them, while the American system aims
to train pupils to participate in the max
ing of the law. In the main the German
system produces class to be governed,
while the American system produces a
class that governs as we'll as being gov
erned. This attitude pervades both dis
cipline and instruction.
I'm discipline, German schools are
where the American schools of SO years
ago were. That is to say the pupils are
- = al,
from obedience to an outside authority
instead OF to that self-control which
arises from ones own personal initiative.
The reverence for the teacher that
We hear SO much about is the reverence
to or perhaps identical with the class
feeling so prevalent in Europe. 1t thus
reflects the home and is supported in the
home where the father still retains the
autocratic authority of patriarchal times.
''In scholarships also the teaching is
dogmatic; the lesson to be learned is not
questioned; the result is that German
pupils know more thoroughly the ele
ments of the subject studied, but that
they have had much less training iii the
judgment forming side of education,
with the result that they are better quail
flied for subordinate positions and less
we'll qualified for positions of leadership
than American pupils are.
They lack on the whole the initiative
ingenuity and ability to meet new and
complicated problems that characterize
the men and women who have completed
the American schools.
''In some particular cases, for exam
pie the continuation schools, the German
system offers MANY valuable sugges tons,
provided the moditication necessary in
order to adapt the system to American
conditions are made

Submarines at Sea.

Equilibrium is almost as difficult to
maintain for q submarine vessel as for
an aerOplane. With modern large sub
marines the act of diving is performed
when the vessels have headway. The
bow is depressed by horizontal! rud-
ders. and the vessel moves Ob,iquely
downward. The desired depth having
been attained. the steersman must so
manage the horizontal rudders that
the vessel shall practically maintain
its level but. in fact, its course be-
comes really an undulatinS one.
There must be no movement of men or
weights in the vessel without imnedi-
ate compensation to restore and main
tain the balance. else the submarine
may dive to disastrous depth, Man
ual control has been found better than
automatic control.
