Our Corrupt
Judiciary

Back through the dead past ages:
back to the time when man first con-
ceived the thought OF plundering an
other; ii was here that the Judge
came into being. and from then down
through al the ages, We ind the Judge
allied with the classes and against
the masses. All ages have shown
tull share of fraiity and that the worst
crimes of history have been Eerpetrat.
ed under their sanction goes without
saying. A Judicial Tribunal con-
uemned Socrates to drink the fatal
ncmIock and pushed the Saviour bare
looted through the streets of Jerusalem
staggering beneath the weight CT his
cross. 1t was a Judicial Tribunal,
which in France, lenc itself to every
tyran.lical monarch to take away the
iiist Vestige OF freedom from the peo-
pie; it is the very instrument oil tyran-
ny and ii did not hesitate TO stand
forth as the Implying accessory -
some OF the blacklist crimes that stain
the pages of history. Later we find
the Judges IN England surrounded by
all the forms of law. sending Robci
Emmett to death for daring to strike
for freedom. 1t was judicial Trtb-
unal in our own country surrounded
by all the forms of law. which hung
witches at Salem. 1t was the ue-
ciSion of a court that divided this ma
ton, and caused them to baptize the
bosom of their country with each 9TH
ers blood. From the dawn of creation
until today, the Judge has been the I'LL
failing friend of every seeker of spe-
cial privilege. You do not have to
go back over the road that is strewn
with Judicial tyranny to find these
things. Our friends the Judge Still

What is Wealth?

Wealth is not money.
Put a man in a cell and give him a
million dollars and he would still be
as much in poverty as if YOU gave
slips of old wrapping paper.
Put him out in the Wilds of the
forest and give him a rocking cheer
for ten thousand dollars and If he
had nothing else he would starve to
death Put him on the praries and
give him millions of dollars in stock
and bonds, and with that alone he
would perish. Wealth does not con-
sist of money. stockl bonds, real
estate, mines or oil wells, any one
man owning all these things might
still die of hunger.
Wealth consists OF food. Good
wholesome food that makes pure
blood and marrow strong bones and
muscles fine nearve and brain cells

The fresh air school was one of the
subjects considered at the last confer
ence of the National Educational Asso-
citation, and there is no doubt that in
the near future this institution will be
recognized as quite as important an
adjunct to the public school plant as
any other. The restoration to health
Of children who would otherwise lose
their lives or become invalids is looked
upon as a matter Of vital Importance
in educational progress. The cost of
these schools must of necessity be
greater because Of the extra clothing
and food supplied to children and the
fact that the teachers employed should
have special training and therefore be
entitled to additional remuneration.
But. as in manual training and several
other new departures, 1t is felt that
this money will be wise public in
vestment.
Each year develops a closer relation
between the common school and the
special school for physically detective
children. In Wisconsin much attention
Is now being given to the schools for
the deaf. and provision has been made
by legislation to provide deaf pupils
with school facilities within reach Of
their own homes.
Formerly all instruction for the deaf
was given in boarding schools, thus re-
quiring the pupils to be sent from home.
AS institutional life is always open to
objection the establishment of day schools
for the deaf became an essential need.
These exist In q number of states, al
though the greatest progress in this d.
rection has been made in Wisconsin,

devised by a blind teacher Of the Perkins
Institute in Boston, and this is now gen.
orally conceded to be the simplest and

American braille has now been In.
| stalled in several schools, and a type
writer for writing IL has been invent
ed This has been followed by another
! machine for the embossing of brailla
on sheets of brass from which any
number Of raised letter duplicates can
be made by a method similar to that
Of the ordinary mimeograph This last
invention has been a wonderful ad-
vantage. BY means Of it. the different
schools establish Offices from which
they issue the work the classes de-
mand. By cooperation in the cleo
tion Of books to be embossed, these
schools have created in a few years a
library in American braille superior ID
any other in the world.
Americas interest in its detectives haa
not only provided them with institutions
superior to those of any other country.
but the proverbial American ingenuity
has also provided the classroom for the
instruction OF the detectives with many
appliances and mechanical aids not to
be found elsewhere.
The education of the feeble minded
child, like that Of the criminal or de-
unquent child, has always the end in
view that he may be brought as nearly
as possible to normal standards. The
shades of demarcation are often very
slight and children who appear as
helpless idiots may be trained In self
supporting trades. thus keeping them
from becoming absolute charges OF the

was opened in Providence, r. L.. in
1903. A brick schoolhouse in the central
part Of the city no longer occupied for
school purposes was taken for the ex-
pertinent. In a room on the second
floor a part Of the southern wall was
removed, thus creating a room with
thre, sides closed and the fourth open.
Windows were substituted for the wall
removed. These extend from near the
floor to the ceiling with pulley ar
rangement. so that the lower ends may
be raised to the ceiling. The desks
were placed In front Of an open fire and
the children receive the light over their
shoulders. These desks occupy about
half OF the room. In the other half are
two stoves, a large old-fashioned cylinder
stove for heating purposes and a modern
kitchen range for cooking. II the day Is

out the blanket bags in which they sit
at their desks. When necessary, soap

big stove so tempers the atmosphere
that the temperature rarely falls below

the children are provided with low felt
shoes, as their own shoes are apt to be
damp, and also because 1t was found
that the heat from the foot warmer
tended to destroy leather shoes This

EDUCATION.
VIII-THE SPECIAL SCHOOL.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Outside OF the regular common schools

must be made for the children who. be-
cause of some unusual condition. are pre-
vented from receiving the benefit OF an
education. Without some special means
being provided for their training. there
are each year a large number of chill
dren who would become public charges.
when by judicious instruction along spe-
cial lines they may be helped to become
self-supporting and independent citizens.
Therefore the economic value of special
education is apparent.

twenty-five pupils.
The children arrive at o'clock and
have a recess at 1890, when they are
given hot soup. At IL o'clock they take
seats around table for lunch. This
lunch consists of hot pudding, such as
tapioca or rice. served with cream, and
chocolate or cocoa made entirely from
milk. Many of the children also bring
food from home. potatoes, chops, eggs
or bits of steak, which are added to the
lunch. the teacher doing all the cooking

Ice and another open-air school was es-
tablished on the roof Of a building. An
appropriation of $500 recently has been
made for Open-air schools in New York,
and they are being established as nearly
as possible to comply with the demand
shown by the reports Of the medical in
spector. Other cities have fallen in line.
SO that there are now nearly 100 open
air schools In the United States, repre-
senting at least twenty-eight cities The
fresh-air schools will provide for not
more than twenty-five pupils each, and
their work will be largely dependent upon
their teachers. There will be a chance
for each child to receive individual at
tention. In several of these schools. espe-
cially those on the ferry boats. couches
are provided and each child is required
to take an hours rest after exercising.
In all the schools the most rigid at
tention is given to the physical condi-

been recognized in making provision for
the child who may be said to be OF de-
fective physique, although each OF the
five senses is entirely normal. For this
last class the open-air school has just
been called into play with results that are
most gratifying.
While the anti-tuberculosis crusade is
responsible, in part, for the development
of the open-air school. 1t must not be
supposed that all Of the children at
tending these schools have tuberculaI
symptoms. A much larger percentage
of them are suffering from anemia, NAL
nutrition or are convalescing from i'll
nesses. After a few weeks attendance
upon the open-air school many Of these
children improve sufficiently to take up
their work in the regular school.
