Childhood of World

An acquaintance with the earliest
known races of man should precede
the study of any single department of
his later history. Here. in the absence
of any kindred elementary work, is
the story, narrated in as simple Ian
guage as the subject will permit, Of
mans progress from the unknown
time of his appearance upon earth,
to the period from which writer's of
history ordinarily begin. Although
the work will interest the young
reader in particular. there is much
for the older person in its clear and
highly interesting exposition of man 5
origin and early history.
The volume is divided into three
narts-"Man the Worker" Man the
Thinker and "Man the Discoverer"
and the author shows under each
head the progress of the years. The
present version is a revised and
Greatly enlarged rendering of a book
which. published in 1872. has been in
almost constant demand both in Eng
FISH and in the many Languages into
which it has been translated. The

HARRISON VAN DUYNE.

The death of Harrison Van Duyne is positive
loss to the community Mr.. Van Duyne had been
one of the most conspicuous Of Newarks citizens for
many years in all public affairs and his interest IN the
welfare of the city was unremitting. He was con-
servave in counsel but always recognized the merits
of public enterprises that would confer permanent
benefits and when his careful and usually accurate
Judgment approved them he earnest for carrying
them out.
Mr. Van Duyne's profession made his advice valu-
able to the city In many respects he was regarded as
an authority He was a valuable member of the
Board of Works, where his professional knowledge
was highly useful to the board Mr.. Van Duyne was
also an excellent legislator and he made creditabe
record in the Assembly, of which he became the
speaker.
In the Board of Trade his influence was always
strong and he was of the most conscientious
members in his attention to the affairs of the board
1t may be said with truth that if all citizens were of
the quality of Harrison Van Duyne Newark would be
the model city of United States in its civic spirit

Great GaleOtO

This famous Spanish tragedy, writ
ten by Echegaray in 1881, now ap-
pears as volume three of the Drama
League series of plays published by
Doubleday, Page 81 Co. The author
(who divided the Nobel prize for lit
erature with Mistral in 1904 is the
veteran Spanish scientist, litterateur
and statesman, now in his eighty
second year. THE Great Galeoto' is
a tragedy, but tragedy in the grand
style, thrilling and insp ring. The
theme of the piece represents the
baleful influence of idle gossip, which
places innocent persons at the mercy
Of circumstances. Elizabeth Hunt. in
her very able preface describes how
truly remarkable a work of dramatic
engineering THE Great Galeoto" is.
ooe result OF Ibsen's influence, she
says, is that modern tragedy has be-
oone sordid, and bleakly realistic ;
but Echegaray, with the Latin tenn
permanent. has preserved the artistic
balance. NJ IS Hunt says of "The
Great Galeoto:" 1T should never be
allowed to disappear from the con-
temporary theatre"

Was the ordinary domestic sheep
the original beachcomber? was II
intended to browse upon seaweeds
and the tangled fiotsam of the ocean?
These questions are suggested by
conditions on the east coast OF the
province of Nova Scotia.
Here is an archipelago of thousands
of isles, wooded and rocky, their
vegetation telling of the warmth the
waters of the sea have snatched from
the Gulf Stream. Four hundred years
ago the hardy French voyagers who
first settled this part of Canada hailed
these pretty islands with delight
They settled there upon the MAIN
land, and there they turned their hEe
stock-shaggy Breton ponies, hafdy
little Jerseylike cows and lanky sheep'
The sheep thrived where the cattle
and the horses found the problem OF
existence difficult Soon they pad
dled in the shallow waters of the out
going tide in their desire to eaten at
fine floating eel grass and Dubious
klein. Then the discovery came that
swimming was not beyond their
movers and they need not remain
prisoner on single islands when there
were scores of others for them to
visit
So it came about that they peopied
numbers of the islands, and stray
Cling along the whole coast line be-

owners drifted inland and after some
years the islands We're left to their

Well-informed Frenchmen have

regiment is now in TRIM with full ranks and in

Colonel Frazer, the commandant of the regiment
who with his staff of officers, has worked hard and
unremittngly to make his command worthy of. the
high Communications it lately received after inspection
by a regular army officer, has reason for pride at
the results of his work exhibited in crowded

A TRAGEDY AND IT'S CAUSE.

Three people incinerated and two badly injured
in an overturned motorcar at grade crossing on
the Beeville turnpike in Kearny Saturday night,
because the crossing not adequately safeguarded
was prevenable tragedy which may be charged up to
railroad selfshness and State neglect
In this case the railroad train did not figure. 1t
was the narrow avoidance of the approaching train
that caused the tragedy The railroad company can
therefore plead responsibility. But will that plea
be accepted? If the crossing had been protected by
gates and a gateman would the shocking tragedy
have happened? The people who occupied the motor
car were not 10y riders or wild speeders on the
highway. The at a moderate speed.
There was no "contributory negligence and three of

not be reclaimed and they were left
To their own devices.
So it comes about that in Nova
Scotia, especially in Guysboro county,
there is today a breed of big sheep
loaded down with heavy wool of as
perfectly wild, living on the sea
coast. Swift on their feet, they are
as alert to danger as their cousins,
the mountain sheep of the Pacific
coast. They jump from cliffs of con-
siderable height, trusting to their
heavy fleece to save their bones from
harm. They are ready on the instant
to plunge into the waves and swim
off 10 safety.
They are sure-footed as antelopes,
vigilant as channels. This, too, de-
spite the fact that they are always
rolling in fat. The writer measured
the length of the wool on one fair
sized specimen not far from Ecum
Secum and found the average to be
from nine to thirteen inches of a
choice silky character. Ragged look

awaiting the inevitable question,
What newspaper were you con-

twinkle in his eye, said: at WIS a

see that it was here that my news

"But what was the name of the
paper, Mr.. Dana? Was it any one of
the present Boston newspapers"
mo, it gave up the ghost many
years ago. l suppose it has been COM
pletely forgotten. 1t was called the

"You don't say sol" exclaimed one
of the hosts. THAT paper is GER

THE SHAME OF A TREATY.

The shameful Colombian treaty negotiated by Sec
rotary Bryan be held back by the administration
leaders in the Senate, Notwithstanding the JOY ex-
pressed by Mr. Bryan the newspaper correspondents
over this extraordinary diplomatic feat The treaty
agreed by representatives of the State Department
and of Colombia promised Colombia 25000000 for
the unfounded allegation that the revolution
was fomented by the United States government when
Roosevelt was President. The groveling apology
which is embodied in Mr. Bryans hand in this treaty in
line with all that Mr. Bryan has done in foreign af-
fairs has a political partisan intent.
Roosevelt is expected to be candidate in 1916 and
Mr. Bryan was equal to deed of putting gross af
front upon the nation officially and in treaty, for the
sake of making Roosevelt the to whom We owe
the Panama Canal which the administration proposes
to sacrifice Great Britain, criminal before all the

summated aud it is incredible that the United States
Senate can be forced by the President to confirm it.

The "Six-and-Six" Plan

Emphatic approval of the "six-and-
six" plan of school organization
urged by the Inland Empire Teachers
Association at their Spokane meeting
was expressed by DIR. P. P. Claxtou,
United States commissioner of edu =
cation. Il know of no valid reason
for the present plan of eight and four
years of school" declared DIR. ClaX-
ton. There should be six years of
elementary school and six Years of
high school, the high school period
being divided into two sections of
three years each.
There are many reasons for the
change. Children twelve and thirteen
years old are at the beginning Of
their transition period between child
hood and youth. They should not he
kept doing elementary work. At pres
ent the pupils in most school systems
mark time to a large extent through
the seventh and eighth grades. This
is especially true where the methods
of the elementary schools are carried
through and these children are taught
by women grade teachers. With a
sixth year elementary school it
would be easily possible to promote
the teachers with the children from
grade to grade, thus gaining Inc large
value that comes from tea2hers AMI
children remaining together Until the
teacher. knows the needs Of the chill
dren, their strength and their weak
ness, and can build intelligently en-
all the work of previous years.
Furthermore, to begin the nigh
school with the seventh grade Will
make much easier the deparsmenral
work. which should begin at least
this low down. 1t will also make it
much easier to begin work in such
high school subjects as foreign Ian
guages, constructive geometry and
real literature, at this point where it
should be begun. The study of Ian
guages, especially of modern lam
guages, should be begun in practical
way before children have passed the
time when they can learn in this way.
This plan will also make it possible
