HIGHER EDUCATION.

HIG6Eh EOOOA IiONs
Neglect of the English lam
guage is educatiOn'S greatest de-
feet today. Asking and answer
ing difficult cOnundrums relative
to doubtful Meaning OF passages
written long ago occupy time and
attention that might better be
devoted to study OF the proper
use of words.
A vast amount of time and
mental energy is wasted in our
high schools and colleges. Our
professors are lacking in that
they literally ladle out subject
matter to SO great an extent that
it cannot possibly be grasped by
the student. Better be Stingy in
this respect. THEN the student
can mentally digest what is CIV
en- him. There is power in the
English language. The man who
can speak and write so as to be
understood has great power at
his command. 1t is a glorious
thing when the schoolboy is made
to feel that our language is not
a thing to. be trified with. Too
many persons believe gaining Of
knowledge is the one object Of
college educa ton. The primary
purpose is to gain the power to
become an effective personality.
knowledge is secondary to this.
There is nothing specific in edu-
cation. 1t is development Of per-
sonality. We are reaching out
too far In our high schools. Chill
dren are being taught there what
we used to learn in college. A
sense of form and refinement is
badly needed here. Too much Is
undertaken in the way Of higher
education that should not come
until after the university stage
Is reached. Benjamin Ide

Covert cloths, shepherd's-checked
and striped suitings seem to> be divid-
ing honors in tailored suits for spring.
It is hard to say which is most IA
vored. All of them are developed in
many smartly cut and perfectly tall
ored, plain suits that are far and away
the most elegant of all street dresses.
Some of the new models are what
may be called severely plain, allowing
themselves only machine stitching
and buttons by way Of garniture and
finishing touches. Buttons this sea-
son are made of the fabric Of the gar
ment IL many elegant suits, but In
unusual shapes. In an equal number
Of designs they are selected from the
various composition, bone or pearl de-
signs. But severe lines and finishing
do not characterize all the new spring
tailor-mades. & .gEsi
The coat-suit shown in the picture
belongs to the plain well-tailored class
that should be found in every woman's
wardrobe. It is just right for the busi-
ness woman, the traveller, or for street
wear where one finds need for only
one new tailored costume.

The skirt is cut with wide over
Tapped side seams forming sloping
panel down the front. 1t Is cut with Q
sufficient flare and is ankle-length. In
many of these skirts the waist line Is
high, and suspender tops and pockets
at the sides give them an air OF util-
ity that is very snappy and smart.
The coat in this suit follows the
lines of the figure rather more close
ly than is the rule in spring styles
It has panel back and plain coat

buttons at the wrist. At each side Of

A coiffure which IS beautiful from
any point of view is not met with eV-
cry day. Here is one which is eXquis'
ite from whatever side you look upon
it. 1t convinces one that there IS
nothing quite so pretty as curls, and
should prove that the classic lines
which it follows closely, have never
been improved upon.
The hair for this coiffure is waved
and parted at the left side. The short
hair about the forehead and temples
is curled into very short ringlets. The
back hair is brought to the top Of the
crown and coiled in loose soft coil.
The waved front hair is brought back
to the coil and pinned to it, leaving
the ends free. These ends are sepa'
rated into strands and curled in short
tight curls. They are pinned close
to the head about the coil. Finally

lets about the face in place.
But ones hair must be naturally
curly in order to make successfully
the short ringlets about the coil. Also
there must be no end of time to give
to hairdressing, When neither Of
these requisites Is present, pinned-in
curls are to be used. They save time
and stay in curl better than the natur-
al hair. They may be bought in any
length needed and are always ready.
Even one who cherishes prejudice
against acquired hair will forgive it's
use when it is impossible to detect 1t
and when a coiffure is as adorably
pretty as that one described and pic
tured here.

Chart Showing the Sliding Scale Of
Easter for the Ten Years From 1910
to 1920.
Of 400, as 1900, 1000, etc., which should
be leap years. \
In those days they were so accus-
toned to movable feasts that it never
occurred to the reformers Of the calen-
dar that day might come when their
movability should be inconvenient.
They knew so little about the rela-
tions between the sun and the earth
that they did not want to renounce the
lunar year entirely and SO upset the
order of feast days that had from time
immemorial been based upon the
movements of the moon.
Though the Gregorian calendar was
issued in 1882, prejudice against any
thing that came from Rome was SO
strong in England that it was not
adopted there until by an act Of par
lament, passed in 1851, September 8,
1852, was reckoned as September IA,
and New Years day was set back
from March 25 to January l, begin
ming with 1853.

would require decree from the pope.
The whole Roman Catholic world and
all Roman Catholics elsewhere would
at once adopt it, and there is little
doubt that the Protestant churches
would follow. AS it is purely re-
ligious feast, this is all that would
be necessary.
In Russia and Greece the Julian cal
endar Is still in use, so their dates are
now II days different from ours.

ON VARIOUS DATES
Anniversary Of the Death and
Resurrection Of Christ
Never Fixed.

IT is something Of an anomaly from
! the religious point of view that the
anniversary of Christ's death may fall
on any one Of thirty-five days, while
the anniversary of his birth is always
on the same. It is no less Of an anon
ally from the astronomical stand
point, for there seems no reason why
we, having adopted the solar year as
the basis Of our calendar should cling
to the lunar year merely for the es.
adjustment Of one date.
1t Is a mystery why, when the date
of Christ's birth was fixed on Deeem-
Der 25, some dates In April were not
at the same time settled upon as those
Of his death and resurrection. That
would have been logical and would
have banished from the calendar a
lunar cycle that has long been aban-
doned by all civilized peoples.
1t should not be difficult to fix the
rational date for Easter. If Christ was
crucifed on the 18th day Of the March
moon astronomers ought to be able to
calculate on what date this fell. They
SAY that in all probability it fell on
April 2 Of the year 80 of the Christian
era. Why, then, not fix Easter once
and for all as the first Sunday after
April z? @
1t is to the Council Of Nicea that we
owe the perpetuation of our anachro-
nistic method of reckoning Easter. This
coilncil decreed that 1t should be the
/ first Sunday after the first full moon
that occurs after the vernal equinox,
March 81. Pope Gregory XIII under
took at that time to reform the Julian
calendar, which had been in use ever
since julius Caesar, in 46 B. c., had
prescribed that year should consist
Of 1856 days, every fourth year having
366. This Julian calendar was re-
form of a still more ancient system
based upon the motions Of the moon,
which system varied widely in differ.

Nut,a Pompilius added the months Of

year 452 B. c., the Decemvirs placed
them where they now stand.

 rather stayed with me and reminded me of someone, but I could not re- member whom. Then my mental fac- ulties began to work, and l said: know who it is; it is Muenter.'
 "The next time saw him he looked squ9rely at me and said, Hello, Gould His words had the attitude of man stepping back into an old familiarity He never avoided me except on one occason-when I saw him with his wife and family. '
 q had every opportunity to observe him and hear him speak German and English. and there can be no doubt that Frank Holt was Erich Muenter."
 The identification of Holt as Muen- ter came after the three men, Smith, Hillier and Brown, had made a care ful examination of Holts body. Smith examined Holt's teeth and declared positively he was Muenter. Thomas Hillier, who lived with Muenter and who drove him to the railroad sta- tion the night Muenter disappeared, was equally positive the dead man was the former Harvard instructor. A. T. Brown, who had known Muen- ter, after looking the body over agreed with Smith and Hillier.
