An Unnecessary Luxury.

From Pearson's Weekly.
Miss Dorothy Craske one of the big
pantomime favorites. who is at the
Princes Theater, Bristol. this year, was
telling an amusing story the other day
about small child who was the youngest
member of a very hard-up family.
One day her father told her that she
had a new baby sister. Isn't that nice?''
he asked.
But hard lessons of domestic economy
had already taken hold of the young lady
and she answered severely: We'll, dad
dy, | spose it's all right but it seems
to me there's a lot of things we need

Think Darlington Will Enter.

Some of those behind the movement are
inclined to the belief that Darlington will
toss his hat into the ring Should this
prove true, primary fight within the re-
publican party for the nomination seems
likely. Former Senator William p. Jack

friends believe that he has about mad.

The primary date is still some months
off. but the politicians are already begin

paign will likely start early in June The
people back of the Darlington movement

progressive party must be a candidat.
TO hold in line within the republican
party those thousands of voters who
supported Roosevelt in 1872, and who
later returned to the G. o. p. in the
amalSamation movement. These same
persons disclaim any personal feeling
against Jackson. but they argue that the
progressive wing of the republican party
should have proper recognition. and that
this can best be accomplished by having
Darlington as republican senatorial
candidate. Col. Darlington today

MODERN METHODS

New Energy Among People

SEOUL. Korea. April 1. 1914.

SEOl l.. kOfea, April L. Eali.
ModernZation has begun to make itself
felt in Korea American visitors will
find the white-robed Korean with his
sparse black beard. his majestical walk
and stovepipe hat still moving pic
turesquely through the wide streets of
Seoul. ceaselessly putting his long bam-
boo pipe. but the general life of the city
has lost much of its languor and ease.
A new energy has sprung up since the
arrival of the japanese.
The immediate problems of the Jap
anese administration concern education,
and the arranging of employment for the
people. The correspondent of the AS
sociated Press was recently informed by
the Japanese authorities that the gov
ernment was greatly in debt to the
American missionaries for the work they
have rendered in establishing schools
The Young Mems Christian Association
was said to be doing fine work in its in
dustrial school. and the japanese gov
ernment is pushing forward the govern
mental Industrial schools which We're
founded by Prince Ito during the protec-
torate over Korea.
The government will erect new set
of buildings for it's offices on the grounds
of the old North Palace. Although the
principal imperial Korean buildings there
will be preserved. a number of the small
er historic structures will be razed to
give additional space and to eliminate
expensive upkeep

League Has Become a Power.

The work of the womens organizations
In Germany since the last meeting of the
council in 1909 has been largely directed
toward legislation, and the league, with
its more than half a million members. has
become a power before which the gov
ernment and parliaments have frequently
had to bow. Petitions and demonstra-
tions have been launched repea tedIy
against measures affecting the economic
status of women, and this aspect of the
program of the Rome conference will re-
ceive the particular attention of the Ger
man delegates.
The question of female suffrage on
the other hand. is for the German
women more matter of academic in
terest. Practically all the organiza
tions connected with the league are in
favor of giving the vote to women
but it is generally recognized that this
cannot be won in Germany in the i'm
mediate future, and attention is con-
centrated on other efforts Women s
associations have been organized with

No Evidence of Revolt,

There is no open evidence of organized
revolt against the new order of things
and it is believed that Japan has nothing
to fear in the way of rebellion. But
there remain some strong feelings among
the functionaries of the old regime, who
have been thrown out of Office and
among the young student class. which is
pervaded with an interest in politics like
that found among students in Japan
proper Neither of the opposing forces,
however, have as yet given their oppo-
Sitlon any concrete form.
Among the missionary workers those
of the Presbyterian Church of the United
States are at present conspicuous by in
creaSing their activity. A recent report
accounted for lbs Presbyterian mission
aries in the Korean field, and also show
ed that the evangelical work is carried
on by hfty-three native ordained min
listers and by PIG unordained preachers in
134 organized and 135 unorganized
churches. 1t is said that in the field of
5.OooOU population, where the Presby-
terans have been carrying on their work
100000 have joined the church.
The denomination has established a
theological seminary with 2oi students. a
medical school with seventy-seven stu
dents. six boarding schools for boys. four
similar Institutions for girls. and 4oo
primary schools with an enrolment of
over 5000 boys and nearly 1000 girls.
All of the American missionaries are
eXerting themselves in the practical edu-
cation of youth. including manual train
ing, and it is this phase of their work
which is most satisfactory to both the
Korean and Japanese. who see III it the
first step toward industrial prosperity.

TO TRY OUT
INSTITUTE SUGGESTIONS
Getting Down to the Individual
Child" Was Main Point Eluci-
dated at Meeting.

Teachers in the public schools of the
District will be allowed to try OUT
some of the suggestions for the devel-
opment of educational work made at
the Teachers Institute. held here last
week, according to Ernest L. Thurston,
superintendent of education in the Dis
trict. In an interview yesterday Supt.
Thurston said:
Courses of study and programs of
work are not meant to shackle the
teachers. They are meant only as
guides to aid the teachers in develop
ing the best in themselves and in their
pupils"
Supt. ThurSton sums up the Dement'S
of the institute in this manner:
Hundreds of teachers and officials
came to me after the institute and told
me they had been greatly benefited.
The speakers left US with larger visions
of the possibility of the schools in the
way of effective teaching, of develop
ing work and toward meeting the needs
Of the community and developing our
boys and girls into healthy, sane and
efficient citizens.
Teachers Interests Interlock.
'"They left US with clearer idea Of
the relation of the, individual to the
system as a whole, showing that the
teacher has a vital interest in what the
teacher before her. has done and what
Is going to be done for the child by
those who follow.
They gave the grade teachers a bet
ter insight into the work OF the high
schools and gave the high school
teachers better appreciation Of the
foundation the grades are trying to
lay. They developed the advisability
school teachers to get a closer under
standing of the points of contact, one
with another.
I'VE were given new suggestive
methods of handling subjects along all
lines and certain subjects received
specific attention. We were shown the
need Of vocational and high school
work for all people. but also it was
pointed out that we should develop
the needs Of the community.
Conferences Planned.
"One of the principal points, which
seemed to be made by all the teach
ers. was the necessity for getting
down to the individual child"
Conferences between teachers of the
first year high school and the eighth
grade are being planned by Mr. Thurs
ton. 1t is possible also. that efforts
will be made to have the teachers
work more closely in touch with the
individual child, although nothing
definite is planned yet.
