Athletics Recognized Branch
Athletics is a recognized branch of
many grammar schools With the crowd
ed conditions brought about by cities the
individual home often affords little space
for play ground and public play
grounds have come most naturally into
existence. 1t is fortunate that they are
in. conjunction with the school-the sec
ond home of the children. The sports and
games employed are selected with regard
to their suitability to the interests. the
age, aud the mental and physical devef-
opment of the children. Both mind and
body are active, and are being trained
The present day school recreation leaves
no time for wasted rest periods and ben

More and more the school is feeling its

Shakespeare as a Chemist


An interesting summary of Shake
speare's knowledge III the realm of chem
istry, with passages illustrating the ideas
IN question: appeared some time ago in
the Berichte of the German Pharmaceut-
ical society. Strangely enough, the author
is neither English nor American, the re-
searches on the subject having been
made by Prof Hermann Schelenz of Cas-
sci, Germany
BY universe the poet evidently meant
infinite space, while by mcrocosm he
understood man himself. Shakespeare
was familiar with the -four elements. -
earth, air, fire and water When he
speaks of atoms he means no more than
visible and palpable particles of dust
alchemy meant to the poet, first of all,
a kind of general transformation, and in
particular a changing Of baser sub
stances into gold. The latter substance.
as well as its uses for adornment and
other purposes, was of course we'll known
to Shakespeare, and he also mentions
only twice, fools gold. Silver was
likewise known. Quicksilver Is men
mentioned only twice, and the only one
of its compounds spoken of is vermillon.
Copper and its alloys are mentioned in
several places. BY pewter we are to un-
clearly distinguished from zinc and lead
Iron occurs frequently, and white arsenic
was not unknown to the poet, says the
Pharmaceutical Era
1t is not likely that Shakespeare knew
much regarding allalies. He speaks Of
saltpeter in one passage, apparently with
out knowing anything of it's source. He
has much to say of powder (gunpowder)
and it's uses. Common salt tar and pitch
were known Likewise he knew of lime
and its applications, including it's use in
wine.
Among the gems with which he was
acquainted is agate, by which he meant
bituminous coal. also referred to as
jet. Diamonds are often spoken of, and
the word carbuncle, ruby, turquoise,
onyx and opal appear.
Ffrestone or flint Is used as a meas
ure of hardness. Alabaster and mar
BILE are also much employed in SMILES
Tears are compared with pearls, the
origin of which he knew. Crystal sig
nifyfng anything very precious, and
glass, are often met wfsn. Other SUBJ
stances connected with glass smanufac-
ture are spoken of, as enamels fluxes,
artificial gems and colored glasses.

interests and also is selected with a vie~

ment in literature Civics has recently

practical way, having as its object in

New Subjects
The new subjects, music drawing, man
ual training, woodwork. domestic science
and arts have been discussed Their pur-
post is two-fold to train the hand and
mind for the sake of the cultural value
of that training, and to lay the foundation
for trades and professions which will be
of practical value in LISTER life
A new departure of the public school is
its care of the health of the studerts.
While it would seem that this belonged to
the home instead of the school, there are
so many instances In which it is neg
lected at home that it has become nee
essary for the school to become active in
this side of the child's life, as well as
those already undertaken. Medical at
tention is now given in the public schools
of many large cities and parents are noti-
fed of any infection or contagious dis
ease of their children. This means that
those who are ignorant of some affection
of throat, ear or eyes are Informed of the
and are given opportunity to re-
ceive medical attention, that those who
are wilfully negligent are required to care
for the health of their children, and that
those who are anxious to protect their
children from contagion and to preserve
their health are not made to suffer from
continued association of their children
with others who are not healthy. Physi-

is interested in making the school a So
ical center. -
It is a source of satisfaction TO those
who are most in sympathy with the pu \
lie school that these improvements arr
not theoretical, but that they are in actual
operation and that more developed I'M
provement is becoming possible each
year.

DECREE
IS PARTIAL.
RAILROAD
VICTORY
Supreme Court Decision Uphold
ing Lower Court Of Far-ReaCh-
ing Effect on Business.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The SUI
preme Courts decision of the Mime
sofa rate case to-day laid down the
principle that the State has iurisdic-
ton over interstate commerce, but
that Congress has authority to secure
freedom Of interstate commerce. In
the case Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Roads the court con-
cluded that proof is insufficient to
justify finding that the rates were
confscatory. The decree Of the lower
court was reversed in this respect.
Today's decision is partially in
favor Of the State and partially in
favor Of the railroads, but upholds the
power of the State TO regulate intra-
state commerce whenever it shall not
conflict with Federal jurisdiction or
with the property rights Of the rail-
roads
The Minnesota rate cases are
among the most important with which
the United States Supreme Court has
had 10 deal for many years. Their
tendencies are far-reaching and have
had a visible affect on the stock mar
ket during the past few months
Three cases were pending under the
title Of the Minnesota rate cases. An
effort was made 20 enjoin the State
Of Minnesota from enforcing certain
laws passed by the Legislature of
that state, fixing the rates for freight
and passengers for strictly interstate
traffic These rates provided for
reduction in the maximum passenger
fares and freight rates
The proceedings were first brought
by the railroads in the United States
Circuit Court OF Minnesota.
Before the lower court. the rail-
roads won their cases throughout and
the State appealed. OF the issues in
volved the more important is the
right Of the state 10 fix the rates Of
railroads on purely intrastate bust
ness.
The lower court sustained the con-
tention OF the railroads in effect that
where IL is proved that reduction in
rates made by a State on traffic with
in the State. necessarily, through the
laws of business and competition,
force the carrier 10 change rates on
interstate traffic. the power OF the
State thus used interferes with the
Federal power solely 10 regulate in
terstate traffic. and such enactments
are void
The other point involved and urged
by the railroads was that the enact
ments complained Of were confsca-
tory i'm that they did not provide for
"a sufficient return 70 the railroads for
the services rendered.
Marketwise. the high court having
affirmed the finding Of the lower
court. it is thought investment conf
dence will be materially strengthened.
on the other hand had the States
been given the right TO fix rates on
interstate traffic. il probably would
have stimulated renewed attempts by
the States toward great reductions Of
existing rates and the consequent un-
Certainties of future railroad earn
ings.
