A NEW IDEA IN CHILD TRAINING.
BY CHARLES N. LURE

a NEW IDEA IN CHILD IkAINlN0.
1t is not often that the world gets
a new idea in regard to the training of
children in the way they should 90.
but here Is something that seems at
least to be new:
IF a boy has a mania for blood
loves to slaughter cats and chickens
make q surgeon ora butcher out of
him." said Dr. ". J. Hickson Of the

municipal court II know a case Of a
feeble minded boy who had a mania
for starting fires. We set him shovel
ing coal in boiler house, and he made
the best stoker they ever had. It's all
matter Of turning their thoughts to
useful lives"
1t sounds plausible.
But
Suppose the lad. after you set him at
his new work in which you think his
perverted instincts will be turned to
happy uses. decides not to follow out
the path you have marked for him3
In this case. as in SO many others,
It IL dangerous to reason from the par.
ticular to the general. That means that
It Is not safe to take a number Of cases,
however large or small, and deduce
from them principles which will apply

tics. The opportunity for the display
Of dissimilarity Is too large.

human beings.
The boy set to work in boiler house

Vincent attempted to reassure Rood.
He believed this idea was q baseless

advised Rood to hire a Waterman or
to keep q weapon handy.
Rood 1lstisssiy objected to having
anybody around. As to a weapon, he
had only an old triggerless rife.

visitor, throwing over a chair with
a crash. Then aloud. he shouted at
the top Of his voice: "Ah. Barrows!
you threaten me. eh? Hands of, you

Bang! Appalled,, Vincent Barrows
thrilled as Rood placed the weapon to
his temple, pulled the trigger, and
fell to the fioor-dead.
An old woman servant rushed into
the room. out of it again. with the
frenzied cry:
"Barrows has shot my master!"
Within an hour Vincent Barrowl
was the inmate of q prison cell. In
vain his statement that his half-crazed
rival had plotted with devilish ingenu

straits-his revolver, the testimony Of
the housekeeper doomed him.
Vincent Barrows upon his tria

Martin Rood, and was sentenced BY
the jury to suffer the extreme penalt!
Of the law.
It was the day before the execution
that the sheriff unlocked his cell doo1

CLOSING SYMPHONY

Master Composer Series Ends
lisp Overture" Is
Omitted.

The Symphony Society gave the last
Of its concerts in the series of master
composers yesterday afternoon in Car
negie Hall, thereby closing the orches-
tra's New YORK season. Tschaikowsky
was the composer. and his symphony
was the Fifth, which Mr.. Damrosch
conducted most admirably, the band
never having played with greater pre-
cision or resonance of tone. The only
other number on the programme was
the concerto in y fat. played by Ossip
Gabrilowitsch. The pianist gave it a
spirited, yet delicately adjusted read
ing, while Mr.. Damrosch and his or
chestra furnished a sympathetic ac-
compartment.
The 1872 Overture" was originally
on the programme, but whether be-
cause the Russian national hymn is
now supporting rather than obliterat-
ing the "Marseillaise," or for some
other reason, it was omitted at the
concert. The audience was large and
enthusiastic, giving to Mr.. Damrosch
in no uncertain manner proof of its
loyalty 10 the orchestra and encour-
agement for the coming season.
