THE TRAINING OF BOYS

The British nation is at last be-
ing reused to the errors in the train
ing of boys In the public elementary
schools of the country. 1t is now
seen that to teach a boy reading,
writing and arithmetic only, and to
dismiss him from school at Ia or
younger, without further training
either Of his hands or his mind is
suicidal for the boy and the nation,
too inasmuch as the lad must ulti-
mately 60 to swell the ranks of adult
nondescript labor, Of the unemploy-
able, or even of hooligans. Now as
far as manual training as a part of
the schooling is concerned the ma
tional refugees and the training ships.
Arethusa and Chichester, of 164,
Shaftesbury avenue, w. C.. have
been working on these lines for the
past ~ years and since 1896 whcu
the technical school was establish
ed, IL has given to the most apt
tailors and shoemakers two years
further training in the higher bran
ches of these arts. In addition. the
lads have had the advantage of i'm
proved tuition in the school and at
tendance at evening technical class
es, In the societys country homes
the boys are taught tailoring, boot
making, carpentry, gardening, bak-
ing and housework 1t is laid down
by the committee that each superin-
tendent must keep in touch with the
boys who leave them for three years
after their discharge and ascertain
what they are doing, and these rec
ords are carefully kept and provide
irrefragable proofs of the effects of
previous training. The amount of
manual instruction impaired with
the formation of business habits, the
intoxicating of correctness of detail,
the higher mental training given, all

1t is gratifying to note that out Of
the total of 243 old boys only seven
were van guards or messengers. The
condition of the nations boyhood az

would have shown a weather eye for the signs of the times.
 The platform adopted by the Chi eago convention reminds one of a reader. Correct date lines from a newspaper of that morning were past ed on a paper several years old. The victim read it from beginning to end and never knew the difference. The American people, however, will be able to detect an 1890 platform, ey- en if it is dated 1912.
 The Republican platform is partic- ularly unsatisfactory in it's grudging recognition of the demand for a moderniZed tariff. Tt unsympathet- ically admits that a few schedules may be too high, but the spirit of stand -pattism wrote the plank
 The experience of Lawrence, Mass. and other textile towns, has shown that our labor has long been getting out of the protected industries for the reason that many of them are not profitable industries. To keep the mills running. lower paid classeD of help have had to be induced to come here from Europe. By neces- sity or preference they live here un- der conditions unfavorable to the de- velopment of good citizenship.
 The American consumer will never consent voluntarily to pay 25 to 50 per cent. higher for his clothing, merely that Hungarians, Poles, .Slo- walks and Bohemians shall be hired at prices that will give mill owners a profit.
 Of course these people come from strong and >Virile stocks, in time they will learn American ways, and will become good citizens. But when that time comes they will be apt to leave them a better opportunity X
 As this change takes place, otk CT raw. sets of labor must be taken in to work at low figures, and the con- sumer must keep on paying a bonus of high taxes to induce them to live here
 As large share of the earnings of these laborers are sent home to Flu rope, as many of them never expect to make permanent homes here. the whole transaction is a losing game.

HOPE TO CURE
 HUNCHBACKS
JOHNS HOPKINS PHYSICIANS RE- PORT DETAILS OF EXPERT
 MENTS.

Baltimore, Md. Aug. 13.-The phy- sicians of the Johns Hopkins Hos pitaI are planning 8 series of inter Hesting experiments during the coming term of the medical school for per- fecting a new treatment for Potts disease. commonly known as hunch- back.
 If successful the new treatment, which will consist of surgical opera tions. will eliminate the use of me- chanicaI appliances, such as plaster of paris Jackets, braces, &c., and ef- feet cures with the knife, in which the grating of bone will figure con- spfcuously. It is believed that method of treatment which would absolutely eliminate motion of the diseased vertebrae or spinal joints, of which there are nine pairs, and en- tirely relieve pressure on the affected bodies would promise a rapid cure and prevent deformity.
 Ii is thought that in the spine the careful removal of the periosteum of the spinous processes, tranSposed to bridge the gap between the vertebrae and with the gaps between the thin bone shield called laminae also bridged by bone will lead to the ex- tensive formation of bone, fusing the Vertebrae.
  the case of the spine the gap to be bridged between the lar1inae and spinous process of any two adjacent vertebrae is very narrow.
 A number of operations of this character already have proved suc- cessful to a degree. A boy g years old suffering with disease of the sec ond and third lumbar vertebrae be- came a subject for the experiment some time ago. It was apparent that if the new methods were to be used if would be necessary, because of the subjects youth, to graft bone from the lower joints. During the opera tior a longitudinal incision was made directly over the spinous processes. through skin, periosteun, &c., to the tips of the spinous processes. The periosteum was split over both the upper and lower borders of the spin ous. processes and the laminae and stripped back from them to the base of the transverse processes.
 The spinouS processes then were transposed after partial fracture so they came in contact with fresh bone, the base of eacn with it's own base In time the periosteum becoming grafted between the gaps of the ver- tebrae generated new formation of bone and tissue and fused the gaps between the vertebrae. In the course of q. few weeks the substituted spinal cord had become thoroughly gen ST. ated and was sufficiently stable to enable the patient to leave the hos pital cured.

THE DEATH PENALTY

 One of the noblest faculties of the human mind isl imagination that wonderful gift by which visualize to themselves and make tangible to others the past and the future.
 sadly neglected talent is ths needing for most of us the stimulus of sonne unusual happening.
 Yesterday, in New York prison, they electrocuted men, after the other Four of them had joined in burglary with another While committing this fel ony, one of the five murdered woman Of this crime all were guilty and all suffered.
 There was nothing UNUSUAL about this occasion, except that executions than usual took place in one prison, day.
 The country would not have been stirred at all if sev had been executed in widely separated parts of the country, the day. if seven had been killed Judclay Tn the prison during the year
 There in fact in this New York prison eleven men now awaiting the death penalty.
 But the country jared into flood of protest against capital punishment That movement of public expression which the steady year and year out flow of judicial killings could not bring precptated by the simultaneous occurrence at place of seven such kill ings-
 Thus is illustrated the limitations of imagination.
 The discussion will disappear tomorrow, next day. not to be renewed again until ten twelve persons the deadly chair, after the other some fest val day of death.
 This is of the disadvantages of the operation of public opinion Theexpressions this opinion are inter 1nttent the force of it not consistently applied Many evils that might be checked improved continue long after they should have been amended.
 Is capital punishment wise at this tme2 Who can say9
 The view of able men and women, those of unusual wisdom, is that it IS NOT. Statistics seem to show that the judicial killing has less deterrent value than many suppose.
 Countries and states in which capital punishment has been abolished to have more even fewer hom cdes than states and countries in which the death penal ty is in force
 There is the record of the past to assist many years since the law inflicted the death penalty for many oHenses Men were hung, drawn, quartered burned at the stake tortured in hundred judicial ways. The gal lows was as common drinking fountains in modern Almost anywhere the body of criminal might be found suspended Crime must have been scarce in those days is the natural conclusion unaided by the evidence of history
 Crime was more common than now. The extreme penalty not deterrent it's effects than the ld CT punishments of to-day are.
 Let us regard the question open But let the ques ton be determined it's merits and by the mere cdert of few killings coming closer together than the usual rule is.
