METHOD IN HIS TEACHING
Aqassiz as Preceptor, Had His Own
Way Of Doing Things, and He
Got Results

A student enrolled in Agassiz's
class. For several days Agassiz paid
no attention to him whatever. At
length. tired Of standing around idle,
the student asked Agassiz to give him
something to do. Agassiz's reply was
to hand him a herring and to say,
study this" The student was be,
wildered, but set about studying
it. The next day Agassiz asked him
what he had learned about that her
ring. The student replied that 1t had
two eyes, so many fins, and such and
such markings.
no, no." Agassiz cried. STUDY 1t
more Those things are not import
ant"
The next day and the next the ex'
perience was repeated. The fourth
day Agassiz again demanded informa'
ton about the now rotting specimen.
In desperate attempt at humor the
student replied, well, it's the same
on both sides"
That's it," shouted Agassiz. That's
it! A starfsh isn't the same on both
sides, an oyster isn't, thousands OF
specimens Of the sea are not. When
you find one that IS, you've found a
starting point in new stage in the
evolution Of life"
Obviously, that student learned
more from that one lesson about the
scientific method of study than ne
would have learned in years read
ing and lectures. The text books
would have taught him the facts;
Aggassiz taught him the method OF
learning all facts.-World's Work.

torture before she plucked up courage
to take down her hands, remove her

. Soon she was safe out Of sight. She
stopped near a swift little brook
where the sunset was mirrored rosily
in the clear water. The stiffness oil
the woods soothed her little, and
she began to plan how she could find
the others and get home without ac-

down, curling her feet under her, the

staggering up to her.
Hello! Guess you and I'll have to
console each other. We seem to be

her, scanning her admiringly with his
bold, dark eyes.
She flushed in distress.
Say, little one, I'll take off my
shoes, too, and We'll go wading. Is
that what you came for?" She shoos
her head.

her a moment, bit off the end of a

his cigar and sauntered off. Finally
he found the others grouped under the

 NEW YORK. March l2-Henry Sie- Fl and Frank E. Nogel. who are part ! CTS in the management and owner sfip of several large department stores employing hundreds of girls were to- Gay indicted for grand larceny in con nection with the failure of the store banks which were maintained sup poSedly in the interests of the em- plOXes.
 These institutions which were con ducted by the department stores were supposedly run in the interest of the working girls and We're to provide a safe means whereby they could leave their savings with the firm and secure small interest on the deposits
 It was fairly good idea both from the standpoint of the store and of the girls for the scale of interest was sliding and when the store was pros porous a larger rate of interest was Iaid than when things were bad in the business world.
