Mayor w. j. Gaynor of New.
York has just given utterance,
to opinions in regard to. the cur
rioulum of public schools, in a
little speech installing a new
Board of Education of his city,
which mast be matter for seHi.
cas- thought by all similar
bodies, The New York Mayor
told the Board that the publie
schools were trying to teach too
much. that the studies demanded
were for the most part imprac.
ticaG that they led the girls and
boys to look for positions that
were more easy and ornamental
than utilitarian. that girls es-
pecially were inspired with the
idea that it were better to get
a position in business than to
know even a little of the finer
activities as housekeepers, as
makers Of homes, as prospective
wives and mothers. This criti-
cism of the methods of the
schools is not original with May
or Gaynor. It has been made by
many Of the finest wives and
mothers of the whole world. It
is matter for broad and severe
consideration whether the criti-
cism Of the New York MAYOR ia
not applicable to other cities
quite as important in the matter
of education of youth and child.

In the beautifully clear waters of the
indian Ocean to a depth of from six
to twenty fathoms in quest Of those
beautiful gems of pearl, which we
have all admired so much as they
graced the necklace of some person
who was fortunate enough to possess
such an attraction
IT IL Is true, as so often stated that
small packages contain valuable
prizes" the application Is well suited
In the case of these valuable shells
seeing the small ones contain the rnr-
est and most beautiful ocean gems.
while the much larger members of the
pearl oyster family supply far more
OF the mothor-of-p pearl substance, so
useful In the manufacture Of va
riety of things.
The largest and finest OF these
pearly oyster shells are found in the
tropical water of the Australian seas,
where they are dived for and brought
to the surface by the human hand
while In more shallow places they
may be secured with various hook
lines or tongs made for the purpose.
Their pursuit has been so extensive in
the past, however. that very few Of
the large and valuable specimens re-
main within easy reach A single
/ pair of these bivalves when fun
grown may weigh from twelve to eight :
cen pounds or more. and viii In these
days be found only In waters of al
most Inaccessible deepness. The great
natural beds or banks Of the pearl
oystcr and pearl mussel shells are
for oyster. but are now rar less ac-
cessible In the places where mans
tire1ess industry has been for go lonp
working overtime.
After cleansing and when properly
prepared for shipments, quantities Of
these shell treasures are sent to Ger
many, where the most extensive work
Of manufacturing articles from them
Is carried on. while some are sent to
France from "A few of her possessions
In tropical seas. To be made into ar
tcles of ornament. or sent into Ger
many In the rough state. to supply
the German trade with raw material.
on reaching their destination In
Germany, these shells undergo several
preliminary operations. such as re-
washing, securing and soaking in
chemicals, before they are ready for
use I'm the manufacture Of buttons. Or
other useful articles. These beautiful
/ shells Of the pearl oyster are perfectly
suited to the manufacture of various
useful articles for the following rea-

make an investigation into the matter
