LlNCoLN's MEMORY A WONDER
At Convention Names, Initials and
Incidents Were Recalled
Unfailingly.

The most notable thing about Mr..
Lincoln was his wonderful memory
At one of the conventions were many
men who had been famous in their
time, but who had not Of late been
much known. Each member was in
troduced by his surname, but in nine
cases out of ten Mr. Lincoln would re-
call their entire name, no matter how
many initials it contained. In sew
eral instances he recited historical
"reminiscences of families. When the
tall General Doniphan Of Missouri was
introduced, Mr.. Lincoln had to look
up to catch Doniphan's eye. He i'm
mediately inquired:
els this Doniphan who made that
splendid march across the plains and
swept the swift Comanches before
him?"
II commanded the expedition across
the plains" modesdly responded the
general.
"Then you have come up to the
standard of my expectations" replied
Mr.. Lincoln.-From Perley's Remin.

Teaching the Young Idea How tc
Dance

Mr. Clarence Arthur Perry of the
Russell Sage foundation proposes
that public school pupils be taught
the social arts as part of the regu.
lar school course. Just what the
average east side pupil in New YorF
would do with this sort of instruc.
lion he does not make plain. 1t is
.onerally supposed that one learns
5ocial life In the home and that q
uniform course would prove a misfii
to most pupils that Is, the socia
arts that would apply TO the chill
dren of the millionaire would be
out of place if taught to the chill
dren of the day laborer, who must
spend their lives in an uttrely dif
ferent environment.
The social arts" as now under,
stood, would probably cover dancing
afternoon calls, pink teas, small talk
vi luSt WHlStJ ma ttHSI tdDAc LAalttC3 .
correspondence forms, proper dres:
and the like. Under table manners
pupils would be expected to learn
what forks and spoons to use, how
to absorb soup without calling out
the Society For the Suppression OF
Unnecessary Noises, how to eat as
paragus tips and how to avoid sword
swallowing Under dancing the tur-
key trot, bunny hug and grizzly bear
would hardly be considered proper
for pupils, at least If their parents
were wise Under small talk the
young hopefuls would be taught to
smile from the lips out and to use
words unaccompanied by ideas. For
girls the use of cosmetics would
probably be included, for this is the
art most generally pradticed
among certain society women.
Taken all in all, the idea is about
on par with some of the other pub
lie school fads.
