continued DIR. Poland. when the
schedule was made six years ago no

overpaid. Since then the cost of liv-

therefore they must now be under

than go to High and then Normal

DIR. Poland Is so well satisfied with
the all-year schools that he hopes
they will become a permanent part
of the system. The attendance has
been large and the standing high"

BOGUS COINAGE REDUCED
BY BUSINESS PROSPERITY

WASHINGTON, Sept. There has
been a marked falling off in the coun-
terfeiting of money recently, but gov.
eminent officers charged with the
detection and suppression of this
form of crime are willing to concede
that the improved condition is not
due entirely to their activity.
John e. Wilkie, chief of the United
States Secret Service, said yesterday
that the prosperous state of the
country was responsible mainly for
the decrease.
The decrease in counterfeiting be-
came noticeable about eighteen
ago, according to Mr.. Wilkie.
Last year about 400 cases of counter
feiting were investigated, while this
year there probably will be less than
300, an unusually small number.

RECIPROCITY
SHOWS BIG GAIN
$44o, 5o9.a9 Fees RENTED
State Treasurer in 1o12-In-
crease of sci ,4o7.1o.

TRENTON, Sept. Job II. Lippin-
colt, commissioner of motor vehicles,
today issued a summary of the results
of his department under the workings
of the automobile reciprocity law. The
statement shows a total gain In the
number of individual registrations of
10.572 on August 81, 1912, over a CORE
spending period in 1911. Mr.. Lippin-
colts statement also shows that there
has been RENTED to the State treas
urer $40. sos. SO in fees by his depart
ment for the year 1912. This is an in
crease in the revenue of the depart
ment of $91, 497. 10 over the year 1911.
Mr.. Lippincott will ask the next
Legislature for additional inspectors
to better enforce the reciprocity laws
relative to the ffteen-day tourists
privilege, which he says is being vio-
lated.
I'm summarizing the results under
reciprocity Mr.. Lippincott said, "as
compared with the number of licenses
and the revenue collected before reel
procity went into effect, we are con-
fronted with this difficulty: Under the
old law provision was made for an
eight-day touring privilege, at a fee
of 81 for each privilege. These privi-
leges were in the nature of registra-
tons. 1t therefore becomes necessary
in making a comparison of figures
covering this year and last yea tc
eliminate from both years the number
of touring privileges issued.
'In 1911 there were $4,000 touring
privileges, while in 1912. up to April
when the reciprocity law became eff
f~ective. there were eighty-five tour.
ing privileges issued"

STANFORD, Conn. Sept. In the
hope of curing a mental state which
was fast developing into idiocy, an
operation was performed here yestef4

the other dilated. Drooling ceased.
The mental condition had been pro-
crossing more than four years.

case fermentation is better than agi-
tation.
THE brain can retain just SO much.

ten. Why take up valuable time to

Doesn't that sound encouraging,
Johnny? And. here is something else
you'll be glad to know. DR.. Poland
is strongly against having uniform
examinations upon which to base
graduation.
'It puts a premium on ~laziness for
the bright pupil and is a great in
justice to the slow or W one.
Why should one test, say of ten ques-
tions, be tawen as a means of a pupils
knowledge of a subject, especially
when those questions are given under
circumstances that result in a great
strain? Let the teacher who is watch
ing each pupil day after day be the
judge of his fitness for graduation,
or, if an examiner wishes to get az
idea of the children's work, let him
visit a. class and find out not what
they have done, but what they are
doing.

the same height, so why should we
demand that they be of the same
mental development? Graduation de-
pendent upon the passing of a uni
form examination results in a striv-
ing on the teachers part not to de-
velop the children's individuality, but
to train them to pass a certain set of
tests. On the other hand, the bright
pupils give up trying as soon as they
realize they have fitted themselves to
meet this requirement, while the less
bright ones work under the unnatural
stimulus of the examination before
them.
"Cramming is n of the greatest
evils attendant upon school work.
Especially is 1t a to the uni
versity where the standing depends
upon the final examination. Prob
ably a student who up to a week or
so of the examination hasn't opened
a book can cram and come out with
a high mark, but what good has the
work done him? What chance is
there of assimilation"
