TOO MUCH DEPRECIATION.

position, AS we have noted heretofore
on the part of American educators and
scientists 10 dcprccatc the achievements
of their own countrymcn and 10 mag

Gators and scientists. An instance OF
this is recently reported in the speech
of President Edward j James of the
University OF Illinois, delivered at the
annual dinner of the American Associa.

mitted that our schools offer little or
no opportunity for boy or girl to
prepare in n practical way by special
training for the work in life which he
or she expects TO undertake. y And he
proceeded to explain that .'in this we
have much 10 learn from Germany,
where the development of the chemical
industries through the laboratories IN
the universities and technical schools
has given that country lead tha'
amounts to worldwide monopoly ia
some lines.
That specification Is rather a lame
and haltinc ono from the broad. general
statement Of the first quotation. With
respect TO our schools offering oppor-
tuuities for boys and girls TO prepare
for their work in life. Mr.. James surely
could not have overlooked the fact that
We have schools of educational training

schools, and technical schools, engineer

GUS directions, all preparing students

dcrstand therefore. why he should have
made such sweeping statement. as he
did. He appears TO have been dazzled
by the glamor of certain technical work
III the chemical laboratories of the Ger
man universities. But, that sort OF
work is only one sort. 1t is quite trne
that Germans have been very keen and
successful in utilizing discoveries OF
their own and Of other scientists in n
practical way, so as to commercialize
the discoveries and make practical use
of the different inventions. Even in
this, however. we are beginning to do
very well ourselves. The American
mind is both eager and keen in this
direction, aud in the inventive faculty
and the application Of inventions,

Colorado Minister Urges Blu.
SiRGSS Men as Elders

Boulder, Col, Dec. 3.-The Rev
Robert F. Coyle, pastor of the Central
Presbyterian Church of Denver, in
preaching on the subject of Church
Efficiency" here condemned the Sissy
preacher" and the "mollycoddle pas
tor" He spoke at the closing eXercis-
es of the fortieth anniversary celebra-
ton of the founding of the Boulder
church
Dr.. Coyle said some MINISTER'S de-
voted the major portion of their time
to the women's auxiliaries of the
church, and asserted that the second
and largest factor of the human side of
church efficiency is the character of the
preacher and his sermons.
He asserted that there never was a
tine in the history Of the church when
able preachers were more in demand.
He hayed the dead" eldership of the
churches of to-day and urged the plac-
ing of live wire" business men who
do things as church officers.
He also favored the recall applying
to ministers, elders and Elapsed men,
bers" and declared that there were
enough stewards or officers in every
church to-day to make it hum if they
would get busy on their jobs.
He condemned churches for calling
upon their pastors to act as. errand
boys and to worry themselves sick
with financial matters.

a DE5ERT SHIP

only religion was decadent Chris
tianity, had not been long in taking the
new faith up though there was some
stubborn fighting against the Arab
invaders. The Berbers, who were the
principal inhabitants of Morocco, had
at first resisted, then taken up
Mohammedanism with a rush And
then, led by the Arab priests and gen.
erals and aided by two or three
treacherous grandees of Spain, they
had sailed across the narrow strip of
water which separated them from
Europe and started out conquering
Spain. The Gothic kingdom which
had fiourished there was destroyed.
Many of the sturdiest of the Christian
inhabitants of the land fed to the
mountains and upland country rather
than submit to Moor jurisdiction.
Many who remained professed their
conversion to Mohammedanism while
others were allowed to remain
Christians, although under many
hampering restrictions. Gradually
little Christian kingdoms were built
up in the north of Spain, and these
made war against the Moors, who
were regarded as the incarnation of
all that was evil. AS matter of fact,
they seem to have been Industrious,
in architecture and general culture
which were considerably in advance
of anything the Spaniards themselves
had accomplished.
Left Some Wonderful Buildings.
The relics of their civilization which
exist today principally in the form
of old buildings, palaces and archways.
are among the most beautiful things
in Spain The Alhambra, where the
Moorish kings of Granada lived, is a
wonderful labyrinth of walls and bal
comics and terraced gardens.
Perhaps time has cast something of
a glamour over those ancient Moors,
but certainly they seem to have been
foemen of finer sort than the sWarthy
cut-throats who make up the popula-
ton of present day Morocco. AL
though their skins were dark from
iOHS lColuCHSC III q llOplCdi Climate,
the Moors were not negroes. Their
features were fine and regular. their
intelligence above the ordinary. and

able enemies. Othello was a Moor.
and in The Merchant of Venice"
Shakespeare has the prince Of Morocco
coming as sutton for the hand of
Portia, and losing very gamely.
But for all that, Moors were re-
garded as natural enemies in Spain,
and, although they hung on for almost
eight hundred years, were eventually
driven from the country AS the
Christian Kingdoms in the north Of
Spain grew stronger and united, the
Moors we're driven farther and farther
south, until at last only the kingdom
OF Granada remained to them. In
1892 that last remaining bit Of terri
tory fell before the armies of Ferdi-
nand and Isabella.
The last of the Moorish kings was
Boabdil, and guides point out still to
the traveller the rocky point of land
beyond the city walls where Boabdil
looked his last upon Granada before
he rode away forever from the king

JUST LIKE MONKEYS
Their Curiosity Bump Said
TO Be Common Bond

Washington, d, c., Dec 3-"Curios-
ity is the common bond between wo-
man and the monkey" declared DR.. r.
L. Nicholson, a Washington student of
anthropology when one approaches
cage of monkeys the curious little
simians flock to the bars and examine
him from head to foot with the most
avid curiosity
This same thing is true of women.
They are continually prying into
things and can supply an endless
string Of chatter about everything they
see.
81 do not say that women resembles
the monkey physically any more than
does man. 1t is only a mental similar
ity. The part of the woman's head
called the curious bump is proportion
,ately the same as that Of the mon
key"

called THE Last Sigh of the Moor
Bulwer-Lytton gave fanciful descrip-
ton of the surrender of Granada. He
told how Boabdil rode out from his
fallen city and met King Ferdinand
and his queen amid all the triumphant
pageantry of Spain. and how smiling
that he might not weep, the young
Moorish king knelt and delivered up
to Ferdinand the keys of the city.
Ferdinand gave the keys to his wife
and they say that Isabella, looking
upon the vanquished princes sad face,
wept in sympathy.
1Fair queen" said he with mournful
and pathetic dignity, thou canst read
the heart that thy generous sympathy
touches and subdues; this is my last
but not least glorious conquest. But
detain We; let not my aspect cloud
your triumph. Suffer me to say fare
we'll"
So the king rode away. At last
he and his little cavalcade reached
the summit of a mountain pass that
led away to the small principally
that was left Boabdil beyond the
Alpuxarras, There they halted. From
the pass the vale, the rivers and the
towers of Granada were clearly to
be seen, basking in the midday glow.
BulwerLytton says:
Suddenly the distant boom of ar
tillery broke from the citadel and
rolled along the sunlighted valley and
crystal river. A universal wall burst
from the exiles; it smote, it overpow-
cred the heart of the ill-starred king,
in vain seeking to wrap himself in the
eastern pride, or stoical philosophy.
The tears gushed from his eyes and he
covered his face with his hands. The
band wound slowly on through the
solitary defiles; and, that place, where
