STUDY OF ENGLISH

That the teaching of English in the high school needs thorough reorgani- zatfon to bring it into touch with mod ern social and industrial demands is frankly stated by Prof. James F. Hosic of the Chicago Teachers college in a report just published by the United States bureau of education, which con- tadns preliminary suggestions for a course in English that will meet pres ent day requirements,
 According to Dr. Hosfc in this course composition will be limited to sub jects for speaking and writing which can be made to appeal to young peo- pie, when he says fin both compost tion and literature there will be a shift of emphasis towards those sub jects and activities that are of great est value in actual life-fer example, oral expression-and towards modern books and periodicals. It is not to be inferred, however, that the supreme values inherent in the worlds literary masterpieces will be overlooked"
 A fairly heavy task in character training as well as in the mechanics of English is put upon the teacher by the makers of the new course. Broad ly speaking, says the report, it should be the purpose of every English teach as 1iAsst .ta, RuiciSed the spirit and kindle

WALKING.

November is furnishing a quality of weather which is showing an i'm prov enent over the October offerings, is so delightful for outdoor exercise. Rain has interfered greatly with the full enjoyment of the season but those who know the delights of walking, as we'll as the beneficial effects, are losing TO opportunities to avail themselves of such privileges.
 Walking as an exercise cannot be exeelIed. Taken as # is in the open air 1t is 8 health as well as a, muscle builder and at no time of the year can a good invigorating walk be more this very season. Even up to and af- ter the time snow flies there is a value attached which cannot he overlooked. There is eoolness enough to necessi- tate action and the keen air brings color to the cheek and brightness to the eye in marked contrast to the re- suits in other seasons. Those who have profited by it know best the benefits.
 The wise man goes forth with head mined to get every atom of benefit and he is the one who finds health and pleasure in every step. Those who are able to walk and fail to do so ht tie realize the rare delights of which they are depTiving themselves. Walk ing has it's value at all times, but if there is any real walking season it is now

PROMOTIONS UPON MERIT.

The fact that there is a red hot fight for the vacancy to be caused by the impending retirement of the commandant of the marine corps of the navy reveals a condition which in dicates the existence of a wrong basis of appointment That there are many who should desire the place is but natural but when such an important office is to be filled through pull and political friendships instead of through qualification it offers one of the strong est arguments for the abolishment of such methods and the adoption of the much to be desired merit system. That several of the candidates are making a hard struggle for the place shows that there are good chances of ob- taining results thereby, else such tac- ties would not be resorted to.
 Tn this branch of the navy as in all departments the best men are desired and their selection should result from their ability to pass the efficiency test. In no other way can the best inter ests of the department and the gov ernment be served The experience and length of service are likewise inn portant factors to be considered in making promotions but fitness and ability must come ahead of politics Just so long as promotions are made through any other method just so long will those means be continued If there is any benefit in the merit sys- tenn there is no place where it could be made to do better service than in the navy and the army.

THE MIGRATORY BIRD LAW.

It is a peculiar situation when arises from the interpretation placed upon the Weeks McLean law for the protec- ton of the migratory; birds by the at tornev general of New York state. In declaring that the national law IS un- constitutional when asked for his opinion the head of the legal depart ment of the Empire -sAa6e is of course but offering his personal interpreta- tion and basing it upon the ground that congress had neA right to enact any such restrictions.
 What effect this may ihave upon the operation of the law Is uncertain, but until it has gone to the supreme court of the country and theGe1 been declared unconstitutional 1t is safe to believe that it will continue ti9 be enforced for the obtaining of the many bene- ffcial results which it Gs intended to and will accomplish.
 According to the NewfYork attorney general such laws, should be left to the state legislatures. If is the very fact that state laws have failed to pro- vide the protection to, the migratory hzrds, those which go from one state to another as the seasoals change, that created the demand Tor the federal law. It is the wild bi I'd life of the country which is in nee of help, and such help has been provided with the matter of constitutionality considered in advance. It is in line with the control of rivers and harbors, the food and drug act, inters tate commerce and the white slave aclt. The law is one of great economic value to the entire country, and it's worth must be fully realized by tbose who are most affected

there is a lot of consistent running, and where one Yale man is most of the others are close around him. Thus 1t is that of the punched Yale runners almost anyone is liable to come in the first of the squad or drop back to the last. It is this general good running of the Yale team that Harvard didn't count on, and while Boyd and Black man of Harvard took the first two places. the punched Yale runners took the next five places and had the meet 25-33. It was an unusually hard run. the course taking the men up over West Rock and on the return through a miry swamp and through ford in West river.
 The team work of the Yale runners is counted upon to show results in the intercollegiates on the morning of Nov 22.
 The executive committee appointed last spring at New London by the associated New England Yale clubs to make plans for active work met in New Haven and the suggestion was made that the entire association hold meeting in New Haven around Washington's birthday. A definite pro- gramme of activity will be presented and decided upon at that time.
 The most cheering news in Yale rowing circles in some time came this
 
 official however, that Jim Ten Eyck, the veteran coach of Syracuse, will be in New Haven in his professional ca pacity next spring. The outcome of the Yale Princeton race this fall and the general criticism that followed it brought the rowing question to head. It seemed to be the common opinion among undergraduates and graduates that the English stroke, at least as rowed by Americans, had been fairly tried out in the past three years, had failed, and must go. Therefore the only alternative was the professional coach, and formal announcement by Captain Denegre of the appointment of Mr. Ten Eyck is expected in a short time. He and the advisory rowing committee have been considering the situation for the past two weeks
 Ten Eyck has wrought marvels with the Syracuse Carsmen. With scanty. resources there, in the way of facili- ties and of money. he has trained crews that have shown open water to Cornell and the other university eights that have the Poughkeepsie as their scene of contest. And what Ten Eyck could do under those hampering cir cumstances Yale men feel he can ac- complish where neither men nor money nor training facilities of the very first order are at hand. Ten Eyek. Courtney of Cornell WFay of Harvard, perhaps Rice of Columbia make up the Big Four among Ameri- can university rowing coaches and the old man of Syracuse is as good as any of them. He taught Head Coach liar rfman his fundamentals of rowing and now the master himself is coming, in time for the beginning of indoor prac- tice. about Feb. i, quite probably, but almost certainly by the time the crews get out on the water in April, it is stated.
