Over Manner in Which Pupils

Boston.-Dr. G.. Kihlgren, superin-
tendent of schools of Arvika Sweden.
arrived in Boston recently under spe-
cial grant from his government to
visit and inspect the public school
systems in this country He went
first to the Martin model school on
Huntington avenue and then to the
high school of commerce. Before
coming here he visited some schools
in Springfield and Worcester where
he went Immediately upon landing to
visit friends. Mr.. Kihlgren is enthu-
siastic over the schools he has seen
here They are superior, he says. to
the schools in his own country. He
is amazed at the quickness the pupils
show in arithmetic He has seen
nothing like it in the schools Of Swe-
den.
In his own country. Mr.. Kigren
says. public education begins with the
child in the kindergarten and carries
him through the high school. That
for boys and girls is the same. One
great drawback to education tn ere he
believes is that the children OF the
wealthier families do not attend the
public schools Through its minister
of education. however, Sweden is
making an effort to change this con-
dition and induce the wealthy class
es to send their children to the pub
lie schools Mr.. Kihlgren thinks that
in the matter of language the Swedish
schools are ahead of the American.
There the study of German is be-
gun at the age of 10 years. English
at II and French at about 49, In the
earlier years of school numbers are
accentuated in study. and in the high
schools physics and chemistry. He
likes the American method of bring
ing the outside world into the school
room He believes it a more practi-
cal preparation for the life the pupil
is to live than the purely book 5ys-
TEN. He thinks the two schools lac
has visited are institutions of which
Boston may well be proud.
After spending the next four or five
days in Boston Mr.. Kihlgren will go
to Newark, n. ].

ball pitched to him to the fence and
the bell rang three times.
II was a good game at that and full
of sensational features. AL was work

sending Augie to third. Peet shot one
past Clarke, but not far enough to
score Augustus, who was thrown out
at home when RAIDER tried to slip one
past Baldy. Lodell went out over the
Altermatt-Clark route with the bases
still full. After that Jamison was the
only man to reach second and then

Boise's first chance to score came
in the third when Augustus threw the
ball into the first base bleachers.

him with a short throw to second

to steal McKune returned the ball
and Carl blocked Winkler as he slid
to the plate.

Hottest Day of the Year

Yesterday was the hottest day of
the year and there will be few to
doubt the statement. The maximum
mark reached on the official ther-
mometter was fraction of a point
below 100. A breeze sprang up dur
ing the afternoon and 1t rapidly de-
veloped into quite a gale, blowing
with considerable velocity. No re-
ports have been received of any dam
age done either by the heat or wind.
The thermometer dropped fast during
the night and it was cooler than any
OF the nights Immediately previous.
Today it has been hot again but the
mercury is not expected to reach the
high mark of yesterday.

HEBREW SOURCES

In these two volumes the compiler
and editor has put together several
hundred poems and dramas based upon
the Old Testament and later Hebrew
tradition. culled from the writings OF

assure its position for long time TO
come as the definitive anthology of the
Hebrew sources of English sacred
verse and drama.
In his preface DR.. Kohut sets forth
at some length his thesis concerning
the influence OF Hebrew tradition upon
English literature. He shows that
Caedmon and the earliest Saxon chron"
iclers were strongly impressed by the

themes which inspired the ancient He

dialect, datin from the seventh and
ninth centuries, respectively Mere
fragments they are, yet precious sur
vivals of a literary age that was both
rich and varied in its output and ver-
satility.
DR.. Kohut furnishes much illustTa-
tive material to prove that the pretty
fancies. ethical maxims and moral
traditions of the ancient rabbis have
left an indelible impress upon The great
men of letters of all ages. The beauti-
full Apologies and folk-tales quoted in
the third section of his frs volume
bear ample testimony 10 the extent of
this influence in English poetry. Rob-
