RITUAL MURDER IN RUSSIA

which time the accused man was kept
in solitary confinement, and denied
even the privilege of consulting his
lawyers. the proof offered at the
trial was of such a nimsy nature that
even the reactionary anti-Semetic To-
cal Journal, the Kievlyanian. protested
editorially against the farcical pro-
ceedings. For this it was duly sup
pressed by the authorities.
That the Russian government IA
vors the ritual murder theory can
be seen from the fact that the former
chief of the secret police at Kiev, who
has been conducting an independent
Investigation and came very near dis
covering the real perpetrators of the
crime and laying bare the motives of
the conspirators, has been suspended
from Office, tried on some trumped-up
charges, and imprisoned. But, per.
ceiving how this attempt to revive a
long-forgotten superstition and incite
the ignorant mob to violence against
the Jews has impressed the entire
thinking world, the saner elements
among the Russian reactionaries have
been trying to minimize the signifi-
canoe of the case, and have urged the
necessity of its speedy disposal with
a semblance of legality.

ious horse epidemic that a year ago

SAVING TIME IN EDUCATION.

A conclusion reached by a commit
tee of prominent educators in a re-
port on Economy of Time in Edu-
cation" just issued by the United
States bureau OF education, is that
there is a waste Of at least two years
/ in the present plan of American educa-
ton.
This conclusion follows an iDyestiga-
ton lasting nearly 10 years by a COM
mittee of the National Educational as
ISOLATION. of which President James n.
Baker of the University of Colorado,
is chairman. The committee proposes
I that six years be assigned to the ele-
mentary school instead of eight as at
present: that the high school period be
from age II to Is, divided into two
parts. OF four and two years each; that
college work extend from Is to 20,
or 10 20 20, according to the method
OF distributing the las: two secondary
years, and that graduate or profession
al work at a university cover the years
from 20 to "a. This, they claim, would
enable boys and girls 10 get ample yo-
cational training after the age of u.
il would enable those who go on TO
college 10 get through their college
work at the age of 20; and IL would
save the professional man from hay-
ing TO wait until "a TO start his pro-
fessional career.
The report insists that the present
elementary cource is too long; that
the ground now covered in eight years
can be covered just as efficiently in
six, allowing secondary wor,s TO begin
at the age Of II. To rave an elemen-
tary schooling they urge: Choose the
most important subjects and the most
important topics; make a distinction
between first-rste flcts and principles
and tenth-rate- Confine the period of
elementary education 10 mastering the
tools of education Include the last
two years OF the present elementary
school in the period of secondary edu-
cation and begin the study of foreign
language, elementary algebra, con
structiye geometry. elementary science
and history two years earlier than at
present"
Emphasis is laid on the necessity of
concentrating on a few valuable
studies, saying: THE great mistake
OF our education is to suppose that
quantity and strain constitute educa-
ton Education is a question OF doing
a few essential things well and with
out strain The college has committed
q greyious mistake in demanding ever
more in quantity rather than in quail
ity produced under condition of
healthy normal development"
The report takes up the problem of
saving time in education from the
point II view OF the college. the school,
and society at large. as we'll as OF the
Individual pupil; and it contains opin-
Tors on every phase of the question
from representative school men and

THE INoANDEscENr LAMP.

One OF our best friends Is the incaI

A birthday which has meant
much to the civilized world has
passed with hardly a passing no
tioe. On Oct 81. just "a years
ago, Thomas A. Edison perfected
the incandescent lamp, with its
horseshoe f1ament OF carbonized
thread. which was shortly after
discarded for paper

solved. and the Electrical World
says that II is a striking tribute to
the genius of Edison that. despite
all the years which have elapsed,
his lamp still stands without a sin

Carbonized paper filaments gave
way TO those Of bamboo and sub
sequently the present squirted
carbon filament. At present the
tungsten lamp survives a number
OF those better than the Edison
incandescent which have come and
gone within the last five years.
Because OF its marvellous spread al
over the world, of the dark places i
