TFNNYSON SAID HER
STAYS CREAkED.

edward Whymper, the famous
climber says Coulson Kernahan IN
the july Strand, told me q story OF
Tennyson which by this time may or
NAV mott do not knoW-naFe GOT
into print.
young girl went up to the hostess n
said: .'Oh, is that really. as I'm
told, Lord Tennyson sitting there by
himself smoking on thai rustic seat!
Yes. my dear, that is he was the
reply.
..Oh, I should SO like to meet him.
Do introduce me-. said the girl.
My dear. Lord Tennyson hates to
be bothered by strangers answered
the hostess; and n reason. per-
haps, Why he comes to see me IS that
he knows | never exploit him IN That
way"
"Oh, but 1 should love to be able
other.
We'll say you have met him and
leave it at that" was the answer.
The girl, however, would take no
refusal, so losing patience, her hos
tess said:
as he can be to people who force
themselves upon him-your blood De
upon your own head"
Lord Tennyson," said the hostess,
when the two had walked together
to the seat where the Laureate was
smoking, this is Miss b, daugh-
ter of an old friend OF mine. who is
very, very anxious to have the honor
Of saying. How do you do?' to you
How d'you do?" responded Ten
nyson, gruffly, and scarcely looking
up.
Seating herself beside him, the girl
attempted awkward1y to carry on
some sort Of conversation, but as all
she got in reply vas an occasional
"Humph." or else stony silence, she
lost her nerve and began, school
sirl-wise. to wriggle and to fidget in
her seat.
Then the great man spoke. You're
like the rest of them" he grunted.
You're laced too tightly. l can
hear your stays creak."
Abashed and embarrassed, the girl
withdrew. Later in the afternoon
Tennyson came behind her and, lay
ing a hand on her shoulder, said
kindly, Il was wrong just now, young
lady. 1t wasn't your stays | heard
creaking. but my braces. They're
hitched up too tightly. Sorry And
he lOunged away.
The story may not be new and ma
not be true, but Whymper found huge
enjoyment in the telling Of it, posi-
bly, because he had himself the epu
tation of sharing Tennyson's dislike
to the intrusive stranger.

EDUCATION AND EFFICIENCY.

THE fundamental demand in edu-
cation, as in everything else is for
efficiency'-says James P. Munroe in
the preface Of New Demands in Edu-
cation,'-"physical efficiency, mental
efficiency, moral efficiency.
THE boys and girls in school are
the greatest OF all national resources,
Infinitely more important than those
natural resources OF which SO much
is heard: and the province OF educa-
ton is to conserve these most valu-
able Of assets.
1.-THE potential economic worth Of
each school pupil. to say nothing Of
his moral value as a householder and
as a citizen, is enormous, provided he
be so educated by his family, by his
environment, and by his schools, as to
become an efficient member Of society.
And to be ar efficient membe Of So
ciety the pupil must have a sound
body, trained senses, a clear mind.
and, above all, a well-balanced char
acter.
wherefore the supreme aim Of tdu-
cation, acting through homes, schools.
and the community in general, should
be to foster sound and capable bodies.
to develop we'll trained minds, and to
build up strong, self-reliant charac-
terS.'
