STORY OF A BLIND
 STENOGRAPHER

Tn the Interesting People depart ment of the American Magazine ap- pears an article about Miss Grace F. Kcator. a blind stcnographcr, who made loss of sight a step for career, full of happiness and service cbIcness. The following is an extract from the article:
 'Twelve years ago. Miss Grace l.. Eeator of Kingston. New York, was preparing to become a teacher of lit erature: then came illness and with illness, blindness. To most women such crushing calamity would nave destroyed all thought of an independ- ent careet, bit in Miss Keator's case it did nothing of the sort.

POP" WARNER IF CARLISLE IS
 BEST COACH IN TIE BUSINESS

The opinion is rapidly gaining ground that the CarsHse Indians not cnly have the best football team ir. the country. but that in Glenn War Ter they have the best coach. War rer's task is harder than that con fronting the coaches at any of the big colleges throughout the country. Where tine latter nave material in vast quantities. Warner is limited in his raw and finished product. Then, too, where coaches like Yost of Michigan, StaSg of Chicago and Haughton of Harvard have the idol atrous worship of the youngsters whom they teach Warner has to worm his way into the hearts of the taciturn sons of the forest.
 Warner was in his day a football man of no mean ability. He played at quarter on the Cornell team a dozen years or SO ago, and he is still one of the heroes of the Ithican past He played on the only Cornell team that has ever beaten the University of Pennsylvania.
 Finishing at Cornell, Warner went ;-s coach to Carlisle. He is a genius. Had he not been he never could have whipped the redskins into the shape that ne has. Pretty soon after his arrival ct Carlisle the Indians began to win victories and they have kept it up ever since.
 Warner finds himself every yea with barely enough material to re- cruit a scrub eleven to practice against the varsity. Yet no man has developed more stars than has he in tine past dozen years. No coach has placed on the gridiorn such consist ertly strong teams, year after year. as have represented the red man

tfon for the Blind at Batavia, New York Like Miss Helen Keller, she had to learn to work as well as see with her hands She learned to read raised type and to operate a type writer-she had neve, before used such instrument-and then she stud ieG stenograDhy. It was serious work. She had determined, handi- capped as she was. to be self-sup porting and independent. Her sue cess was extraordinary and would have done credit to an expert. When the time came for her to look about fer 9 position she turned at once to New York city. Her excellent work in the institution at Batavia already had attracted attention, and she soon became private secretary to Miss Winifred Holt, who is secretary of the New York Association for the ISilnd at 11S East Fifty-ninth street.
 A visitor to Tho Light House. as the association is called. sees the blind happily at work weaving car pets. making baskets or brooms, can ing chairs, or doing houseWork: but one of the most interesting spec tacles of all is to see Miss Holt and her aid at WOrk-in the background the boss dictatine, in the foreground Miss keator at her shorthand ma chine, her fingers fairly flying, while under her skillful manipulation a rib bon shaped manuscript unfods. the characters appearing like pinpricks in the paper. The manuscript re- minds one of a stock brokers ticker tape. When dictation is finished the bind stenographer turns to her type writer and after passing sensitive fingers along the ribbon to read her notes. she rapidly transcribes them. The finished work, and indeed all that she does, is a model of neat- ness and accuracy.
 Besides holding the secretaryship to Miss Holt the blind stenographer is president of the Blind Women's club of New York city. Tn her of ftcial capacity she meets many not able persons. The brilliant example she has set in making a career for herself, and her thorough knowledge of the conditions under which the blind must work if they are to be happy productive members of society. have made dit possible rOrdaoifwy have made it possible for her to interest numbers of people in the wo:k of institutions for the blind. She is the first and. I believe. the only blind woman to earn her living as a stenographer

INsrANTANEoUs EMBARRASSMENT

Eadweard Muybridge began his eX- Ieriments in instantaneous photeg- raphy in California in 1872 and sub scquently carried them forward at the University Of Pennsylvania, which provided him with grants amounting to more than S4OO00 We thus have an instance in which scientific in vestigation supported by a university las been the origin of an enterprise of immense practical and cOmmer- c:aI importance. The annual receipts rom moving picture shows in the United States are about $150,0G0O: I, yalty of ten per cent on these re- ceipts would defray the entire cost of all the real university and research work in the country. Muy bridge, not only took the first photographs of moving objects but also first pro iected them on a screen, thus leading dil ectly to the modern exhibitions of moving pictures. This he did in lee lures, beginning in 1880. and on a large scale at the Chicago exposition Of 1893, where a building was espe- Cially erected in which he exhibited ficcks of birds flying across a screen. athletes wrestling and similar moving pictures. In 1886 Muybridge consult cd the inventor of the phonograph with a view of reproducing simul- taneously visible actions and audi tory words. Neither method of re production was, however, at that time sufficiently advanced. and it was necessary to wait until last year when Mir. Edison was able to syn cEronize in satisfactory manner the pictures and the sounds.-The Popular Science Monthly.

PENNSYLVANIA AGAIN REPueLl-
CAN

The other day Philadelphia had a
registration of voters. 1t was enor-
nous. being 1000 more than on the
last day Of the enrolment for ths
presidential election. Under the
PENNSYLVANIA system voters must re-
cord their party allegiance and there
was q rush of former progressives to
declare their return to Republicanism.
The Philadelphia Press says:
The return to the fold is q condi-
ton not theory. In Philadelphia 1t
has passed beyond the range OF spec
uIation and is demonstrated as clear
" as any mathematical truth. Inc
Republicans here have enrolled to
the number OF 1892, giving them a
clear majority over an inconceivaole
fusion OF all the other parties com.
bined and still leaving a margin OF
1897 TO overcome the non-partisan
voters. who are estimated at $4,000
This Is back to the fold and no mis-
take about 1t. Philadelphia thus re
sumes her proud boast Of being the
most Republican of cities"

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.

Abolishing the crossroads one-room
school and establishing consolidated
or centralized schools is advocated In
bulletin just issued by the United
States bureau of education. The
bureau recommends this wherever 1t
can be done without too great ex.
pense and without breaking up or dis
integrating existing communities. The
bulletin is an educational survey of
Montgomery county, Maryland, where
conditions are fairly typical of the
rural-school problem in general. It is
hoped that by close view of one
rural district, other rural commune
ties may be encouraged to investigate
their school systems and make them
more efficient
That sentiment. in the country dis
tricts Is not everywhere ready for the
consolidated-school idea is freely ad-
mitted by the authors of the bulletin.
In Montgomery county majority OF
the school patrons expressed them
selves as opposed TO the idea. They
realized fully the deficiencies OF their
rural schools, but they were not yet
willing to accept consolidation as the
remedy. The writer's OF the bulletin
endeavor to show that most OF the de-
fects complained OF by the school pat
rons-poor teaching, low salaries, lack
of thoroughness In the common
branches, few special subjects, work
not advanced enough-are inherent in
system OF one-room country schools.
and that the way to remedy the stu
alton is to have fewer and better
schools. with transportation furnished
to pupils living at a distance.
1t is pointed out that the rural
school conditions found in this Mary
land county are by no means peculiar
to 1t, but are typical of what Is still
found In country districts everywhere.
In several respects Montgomery coun-
ty is superior TO other rural localities
in its educational facilities 1t has.
for instance, a school year Of $50
days, as compared to terms as low as
forty days In parts of some states;
and Ike every other Maryland coun-
ty. 1t has county supervision OF
schools, which educators consider the
most effective means of building up
rural education.
To make the ons-room rural schools
as efficient as possible. but to do
away with them by consolidation
wherever practicable. is the motto
the ruraLschool improvers have adopt
ed. Constant Improvement is report
ed in the facilities offered By the one
room rural school, particularly IN re-
lating school work to farm needs, but
side by side with this Improvement
has gone the movement for consoiida-
ton, until there are now several thou
sand consolidated schools in the Unit
ed States.
