UNDERMINING
ENGLISH STUDY.

That the teaching of English in the
high school needs thorough reorgan-
ization to bring it into touch with
modern social and Industrial demands
is frankly stated by Professor James
lege, in a report just published by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. The report contains preIimin-
airy suggestions for a course in Eng
Iish that will meet present-day re-
quirements.
In this course English composition
will be limited to subjects for speak
ing and writing which can be made to
appeal to young people, according to
DR.. Hosic. TN both composition and
literature there will be shift of en-
tivities that are Of greatest value in
actual life-for example. oral express
sion-and towards modern books and
periodicals. It is not to be infer
red, however that the supreme val
ues inherent in the worlds literary
masterpieces will be overlooked"
A fairly heavy task in character
training as we'll as in the mechanics OF
English is put upon the teacher by
the makers of the new course.
Broadly speaking" says the report,
sit should be the purpose of every
English teacher first to quicken the
spirit and kind1e the mind and imag-
ination of his pupils, and to develop
habits of weighing and judging hui
man conduct with the hope of lead
ing them to higher living; second, to
supply the pupils with an effective
tool for use in their future private and
public Hfe-i.e., the best command of
language which, under the circum-
stances, can be given them Tho

GEOLOGY

The first important contribution to
he science of geology was made by
zotter4ed wilhelm Lefbnitz, the i'm
knortaI German philosopher, who died
Ina Hanover 1877 years ago today. His
Protogea'' which was not published
snfire until some years after his
heath, may be said to have given
birth TO the modern science OF the
Earth, geology, which Leibnitz call

esteemed freaks of nature, as rem

Members of the diplomatic set at
Washington will extend birthday and
wedding anniversary felicitations to-
Bernstorff, who for five years has
been the German ambassador to the
United States. The Count was born
hfty-one years ago today, in London,
where his father was then German
ambassador to the Court of st. James
On his twenty-fifth birthday the
Count, then an officer in a German
cavalry regiment, married Jeanne
Luckemeyer, a New York girl. Both
in becoming an ambassador and in
marrying an American woman, Count
Won Bernstorff has followed the ex-
married Amerilxa Riesdesal, a New
York woman. Count Won Bernstorff
began his diplomatic career in 1889
as an attache of the German embas-
sy at Constantinople. This was fol-
lowed by brief service in the for
eign office at Berlin, after which he
held diplomatic posts at Belgrade,
Dresden, st. Petersburgh, Munich,
London and Cairo. The Teuton am
bassador to the court of Uncle Sam
stands high in the favor of his i'm
peria1 master, and the Kaiser has
also paid special attention to his
American wife. The Count is a lin
guist of ability and is famed for his
wit an after dinner speaker.

GRANT BANQUET 81
YEARS AGO MEMORABLE
FEAST OF ORATORY

1t was Just thirty-four years ago
This morning that some six hundred
people departed from the banquet
han of the old Palmer House in Chi
cago after one OF the most memorable
tory. Probably few who gathered
about the banquet boards on that red
letter night, when the veterans greet
ed their general. Grant, after his tri-
mmphal tour of the world, are now
in the land OF the living, but to the
few survivors of the vanishing six
hundred this must be a day of glor-
lous memories.
Grant himself was one OF the
speakers and Sherman and Sheridan
and many others OF the famous SOL
diers and statesmen of the republic
addressed the diners, but the two
addresses that gave the banquet a
permanent place In this history of
American cratory were delivered by
Mark Twain and Col Robert Green
IngersorE supreme humorist and
the most eloquent orator Of their ma
lion and time.
Mark Twain responded to the toast
Of Babies, which concluded with a
sentence that set the banquet hall IN
an uproar. In that ininitable drawI-
Ing voice, now forever siIenced, he
said:
TN his cradle, somewhere under the
flag, the future i11ustrious comman-
der-in-chief of the American armies
Is so little burdened with his ap-
M~oarb4r~ Grand a11re and resDorSII1fI
tiles as to be giving his whole strate-
gic mind, at this moment, to trying to
find some way to get his own big toe
Into his mouth. an achievement which
'(meaning no disrespect) the illustri-
GUS guest of this evening also turned
Ais attention to some hfty-six years
ago. And If the child is but the
father Of the man, there are mighty
few who will doubt that he succeed
sd!''
At that conclusion the audience
broke into cheers and roars of laugh
ter. and even the reserved Grant felt
the contagion of mirth.
Even greater was the triumph of
Col Ingersoll, Pagan Bob who
moved to alternate laughter and
lie. In a letter to William Dean How
ellis, quoted in A. B. Paine's Mark
Twain Mr.. Clemens paid the fol-
lowing fervid tribute to his oratorical
rival:
'Ingerso1l's music will sing through
my memory always as the divinest
that ever enchanted my ears. And ]
shall always see him, as he stood that
night on a dinner-talb1e, under the
flash of lights and banners, in the
midst of seven hundred frantic shout
ers, the most beautiful human crea-
ture that ever lived. They fought
that q mother might own her child
The words look like any other print
but, Lord bless me! he borrowed the
very accent of the angel of mercy &c
say them in, and you should have
seen that vast house rise to it's feet
and you should have heard the hur-
ricane that followed. That's the only
testI People may shout, clap their
hands, stamp, wave their napkins, but
none but the master can make them
get up on their feet
