A Pleasing Recital.

The recital given by Miss Marie-Jane
Clauer and Miss Edith NJ Berggren at
the NJ E. church Monday evening was
thoroughly enjoyed by the large au-
dience. The pleasing manner of both
young ladies made favorable impress
sion and generous applause was given
them throughout the program. Miss
Clauer's ability as an entertainer is
seldom surpassed - she being an able
reader and a charming soprano singer.

The action of the amusement COM

Of high praise. The state fair is too

A Survey that Surveys.

Springfield, ILL.,, has been having its
public schools looked into by the ex-
| perts from the Russell Sage foundation
under DIR. Leonard p Ayres, The re-
port just published will help many an
other city.
One reconnoitre in the survey has both
an amusing and serious aspect; it
starts the debatable question whether
| il is worth while for the child to learn
matters that the average adult has for
gotten or never known. In college cir
cles it has long been a pleasantly that
no graduate could ever pass his entrance
examinations and get in again. In
Springfield the case looks even worse.
To throw light upon one Of DR.. Ayres'
surmises, eleven picked men-a state
senator, a former lieutenant governor,
The president of manufacturing con-
Germ, a former superintendent OF parks,
a banker, physician, merchant, a
lawyer, a newspaper editor, an efficiency
engineer, and a clergyman-submitted
themselves to examination in spelling,
geography, arithmetic, and history as
taught in the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades. The materials were pnrposely
chosen from the harder parts of the sub.
jects but were all taken from what the
children were made to learn. What hap
pened mot one man Of the eleven made
passing mark in any subject. In spell
ing, for instance, the best man got four
words in ten; the worst got all tim
wrong. Out of five questions in geogra-
ply, one man could answer one; each
of his companions in distress failed on
all five.
Such results, OF course. can be easily
misread. But they forcibly remind ev.
cry school official that in choosing the
subject matter of instruction he should
consider first of all the real needs of
real men. Boston Herald.

must consider himself as launched as q

nesday The occasion was fraterna
celebration by the French Societe de st
Jean Baptiste, and the auditors were
representatives of a citizenship which
must be recognized as a distinct snd
almost elemental part of our state civ

| The Herald accepts the assurances OF
| the state executive that DIR. Bachand's
utterances were a complete surprise to
governor in the position of being crowd
ed into an announcement, but eireum-
stances point inevitably to the pscholog-
ical necessity for taking the people of
the state into his confidence ere long.
Ii the situation comprised merely the
intention of the incumbent of the gov
ernorship to contest the Republican
nomination for United States senator
with the incumbent of the senatorship,
all Republicans would welcome sharp
contest at the primaries, whether by
way of the soap-box system or in the
caucuses and conventions. Judging by
his recent utterances. however, there
seems to be a tendency on the governors
part to employ the language of the Bull
Moose.
1t is hardly creditable, however, that

Leans of the state and the final choice
OF Republican legislature, would seek
