Is TOO MUCH TIME WASTED IN
SCHOOLS?

The claim is now made, and by
some very prominent educators at
that, that there is too much time vast
ed in the education of the children
of the land under the public school
system, and that as a result those who
leave school say at 16 years of age are
very poorly equipped for life's work
while those who go on in pursuit of a
professional career are kept in school
and college until so late a period that
they are probably thirty years of age
before they really reach a point Of
financial independence sufficient to
support a wife. In former times it
was not uncommon for boys to gradu-
ate from college at IS to 20 years of
age, while today they range upward to
% to % years.
The complaint of wasted time is
based on the fact that schools as a
rule are kept open less than nine
months in a year, that there is then
but % hours in a week given to the
education of the children in them, and
that the results do not indicate the
progress that healthful, intelligent
children should make in rudimentary
studies. The tendency, it is claimed,
1t to take advantage of every oportun-
ity to close schools for day or half
| day. Every possible holiday is seized
upon as an excuse to relieve the chill
dren from their work, and after the
expiration of eight to twelve years in
school children are turned out who
cannot write a we'll phrased, gram
NAUTICAL letter, and whose education is
a hodgepodge of little essential value.
While these critics may be eXtrem-
lists in their views there is a large
part of the public that believes there
is a good foundation for such criti-
cism. The feeling is growing strong
er year after year that the schools
must be made more thorough, that if
necessary the branches of study must
be more limited, and that the fact must
be pressed home upon teachers that
men and women of real character are
not developed by slipshod, easy, roy
al roads to learning The tendency to
make public schols education easy
simple" and interesting" it is to be
feared is not making it the brain and
character developer it might be.

WOMAN AVIATOR IN TROUSERS
Made Number of Early Morning
Flights Before Discovery

Garden City, l.. L. May 11.-Rumors
that there was young woman avia-
tor at the Moisant Aviation school
here who made daily flights at 4:SO a.
m, have brought many Garden City
folk and townspeople from Hemp
stead and Mineola to the flying
grounds here on several mornings.
These early risers have seen a slen-
der youthful figure in aviation jacket
and trousers of wool-backed satin,
with leather puttees, heavy goggles.
and big aviation cap, mount Mois-
ant monoplane, glide over the ground
after the motor had been started and
then rise for fight after fight
around the field at an average height
of so feet
The young aviator has attracted at
tention as much because of the heavy
veil which hung from the helmet brim
as for any other reason, There was
a wind yesterday morning however,
and as the aviator crossed the field
toward the hangers the breeze lifted
this veil long enough for an onlooker
who knew her well to recognize the
features of Miss Harriet Quimby, a
young magazine editor of Manhattan
and the daughter of San Francisco
parents. now resident with her at the
Hotel Victoria, in Manhattan.

Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Stom-
ach Dosing, or Money Back
Yes, dear reader, catarrh can be
cured; but not by pouring vile, nause-
ating drugs into the stomach.
And catarrh germs thrive, flourish
and multiply in the nose and throat.
Can you kill these tough and per-
sistent little health destroyers by
swallowing pills or nostrum? Any
physician will tell you it cannot be
done.
HYOMEI pronounced High-o-me)
is a germ killing vaporized air which
when breathed either through the
mouth or nose will kill catarrh germs
and soothe and heal the infiamed and
mutilated membrane promptly. 1t
gives relief in two minutes.
HYOMEI is such a powerful germ
destroyer that it penetrates every
fold and crevice of the mucous men,
brane of the nose and throat.
A complete outfit, which includes
inhaler, a bottle of HYOMEI and
simple instructions for use, costs
$100.
Should you need second bottle of
HYOMEI the price is only SOC. VIM.
l.. Gokay and leading druggists every
where sell HYOMEI.
