The child was found, denuded of
clothing and lying in a vacant lot at
Third avenue and One Hundred and
Seventy-second street yesterday. She
was able to tell nothing regarding the
identity of her assailant. The police
and doctors who have been working
on the crime today pronounced it the
most brutal in the city's annals.

pretty and large for her years, disap-

Her body, slaShed with half j hundred

who were having the very same ex-

servant problem Is one Of the most
annoying that confronts the. woman
OF today; particularly the one who

mainland where the servants are so
high priced, those in moderate cir.
euTstances usually do their own

them, work for such a pitance, they
hardly know what course to pursue

education had been so neglect
ed that he ordered his books by the
lot, to fit his bookcases, and who
could write his name to checks, but
whose power Of expression through
the pen stopped there.
Judging from the material which
comes before me, from g number of
young people in every part Of the
country the crop Of that sort of
millionaire will be quite plentiful
SO far as the public school education
is concerned.
Every State in the Union seems to
have adopted a system of public
school teaching which teaches less
than ever before in the history of
the country
Some of us can't look back as far
as the Blue Back Speller, but we
can recall spelling-books Of later
vintage which contained the average
words used in the daily routine of
life.
We distinctly recall the writing
books of the Spencerian period
(Which was really late Victorian)
and the other system which came
directly after and which was minus
the tails, curleyques. standings and
crossings Of the more elaborate Spen-
ceriSn.
We can recall the tables where
at we learned how the merchant
measured dry-goods, grains, drugs,
liquids: we learned how the sur
vayor and the mariner computed dis
tances; we learned how to gauge
the capacity of a cup Or well-and
we learned it thoroughly.
We had a very little Latin and
most Of us promptly forgot that as
soon as we had passed" our eXami-
nations.
In those blessed days a boy or
girl could leave the Seventh
Grade, secure in the knowledge Of
tables" able to spell well, and
writing q clear legible hand.
AS | write, there is on my desk a
batch of about forty letters, and the
writers are boys and girls ranging
from seven to sixteen years of age.
There is not one single letter in the
batch that I have not had to so
over, correct as to spelling, express
sion and punctuation. Every one Of
the forty is a pupil in the public
school in one of these states: GeOr-
gia, Texas, Illinois, Missouri. Not
one OF the letters rises above medi-
Ocrity, and every one is the result
of the "cramming" which our pub
lie school system gives in place Of
the education we, OF another gener-
alton received.
We are constantly being remind
ed by the people Of other nations as
to our general sliD-shod method OF
living, and in nothing are we so
truly living up to our reputation as
in the manner Of education in our
public schools.
The budget Of every town, city,
hamlet and the States at large, show
that it is costing more to maintain
the public school system, than it
ever did cost before. The results
are more unsatisfactory, and the boy
or girl who leaves school say, at six
teen, is not SO well equipped to "ac-
cept q position" as the tWelve-yaar-
old boy or girl Of another generation
when reading, writing and arithme-
tic" were really taught and became
the solid groundwork for the other
branches Of learning to be built on.
In the mechanics, we are making
the same misunderstanding all our
apprentices through with the aid Of
compressed air and files, when the
mechanics of other time used his

content Of our young women?
Nothing that savors Of the love Of
study, Of research, of that calm
philosophy of life is taught and our
poor little graduates truly are be-
wildered when they enter the strug-
gle for existence, SO poorly equipped.
Every parent has had occasion to
demur at the increased cost of "keep-
ing the children in school" and when
those children graduate, with
heads crammed full of half-digested
knowledge, the fact of their unfit
ness for work is shown in a very
short while
There is no question affecting the
people more potential than this.
This article is not an exaggera-
ton; any merchant who asks for
written applications in response to
queries for work, will bear me out in
all herein stated.
