SUPT. BOWMAN ON THE NEW
EDUCATION.

A very interesting talk the fourth of
the series in the Public Lecture Course,
was given by Supt. Bowman, at the
Hemicycle on Tuesday evening. on the
New Education. In the course of his
remarks the lecturer pointed out the
necessity which forces the schools to
modify and adjust their work to the
constantly changing conditions of the
age, and the tendency to measure in
terms of social efficiency the success or
failure of chool work.
DR.. McMurray's work in supplying
new tests of evaluating the work of the
New York City schools was dwelt upon,
and the new mode, which values the
functioning of school experiences in the
life to which the child finds it necessary
to adjust himself, was justified. The
mere attainment of knowledge is an in
complete and totally insufficient motive
for schooling. New aims, new cont
ent, and new methods are evolving to
meet the problems of the new edu-
cation.

Deputy Sheriff N. J. Sanford re-
ceived telegram from the chief of
police at Fitchburg, Mass, Wednesday
announcing that an automobile answer
ing the description of the one stolen
from Stokes & Co.'S garage early last
Friday morning had been found in a
garage in that city. The car was driven
into the garage some time Saturday

read 17472.
Milton and Earl Brown, employees of
the Stokes garage, returned with the

Thursday. The car, outside of hard

perience.

and Sewer Constructions
Ordered

most important matter was the adop-
tion of speed limit for automobiles

connect with the line on Pleasant street;
1900 feet line north on Weybrdge

Ii Mrs. Freddy Van Dyne found the
supply of available lions limited, why
should she not try to content herself

Ivy was asked. Until then she had
contented herself with gazing at her

ODD FACTS ABOUT CHOLERA
Superstition Has Added to Ravaaes of
Dread Disease-How Rocks
Were Affected.

Cholera has usually found use
full ally in superstition In the old days
the disease was believed to lie bottled
up in volcanoes and to be released by
eruptions The most effectuaI way to
avoid it was to sleep in bed with your
head due south. In Russia during the
terrible epidemics six years ago the
peasants would not trust the doctors,
whom they actually accused Of caus-
ing the disease, but drank a fearful
mixture of tar, resin and petroleum as
preventives, and fred guns from the
doors and windows to scare the chol-
era away What spreads the disease
along the caravan routes of Asia is
the habit of washing dirty clothes in
the drinking wells
Rocks were the birds whose conduct
in connection with the cholera was OBJ
served in Ireland in 1882. According
to the contemporary Dublin Morning
Register, Immediately the cholera
came all the birds vanished from the
rookery in the Marquis of Sligo's de-
mesne, one of the largest IN Ireland

Any man who can look handsome in
a dirty baseball suit is an Adonis.
There is something about the baggy

Every night the results of the games
throughout the league were posted up

the game the girls used to gaze ador-

But it didn't. 1t had had too good

met her knight of the sphere around
the corner. Theirs was a walking

far as the state road, and down as far
as the river, and Rudie would fain
