VICE-CHANCEELOR SADLER COMPARES
 SCHOOL SYSTEMS
Says American, English and German Are Great Repre-
 sentative Types.

Manchester, Eng, Nov. 3o.-The merits and defects of the English sys- tenn of education formed the subject of a recent lecture here by Vice Chancellor M. E. Sadler of Leeds Uni- versity, who spoke of the English, the American and the German as the three great representative types, each typical of a different point of view.
 Germany stands for unity based on the state, the United States for varie- ty based on the individual and the British Empire for an attempt at moral unity based partly on individ- ua1 r experience, partly on inherited tradition and partly on adminfstra- tive organization, said Prof. Sadler! All three face the same human prob lem, and each have learned from the other two. But Germany and the United States work on simpler theories and have the advantage of a simpler aim. The British view is the more tcomplex, and British education when it falls below it's best is less effective in accom- p1ishing its aim than the oth- ers.
 British education, especially the English at it's best, is stronger than it's rivals in the development of per sonal character. The care that the Germans have 1avished in intellectual attainments and the Americans have spent in fusing together the diverse clements of their population, has been
 
 sonaI conduct and character. British schools have been at least as success EruI as the others in fostering the will to sacrifice life and limb in times of national peril. But they have not been as successful as the German in producing the conviction that daily sacrifice must be made by the indi- widI1a1 for the WeIfareA of the com m munity. On the intellectual side, Prof. Sadler found that with certain brilliant exceptions, British education is feeble as compared With the Ger man, but not as with, the American.
 The gravest defect in British edu- cation, according to, the lecturer, is. 'Hhe absence of. an exacting standard lin the training of the mind as con yrasted with the training of conduct. As the result, the importance of gem eraI knowledge and the value of pure. science as applied to the needs of life and industry is not appreciated. The capricious and casual way III which parents select schools, without understanding the needs of their chill dren; the failure of the sch ools to stimulate the intellectual fQterests of boys and girls of average capacity, which results in a wastage of the mental powers of the nation and in- difference toward science alike in inl dustry, public administration and the domestic mana cement are also serious defects.

AUSTRIANS USING
 DUMMY MAXIMS TO
 SCARE THE ENEMY

Perograd, Nov. so-4Dumny ma chine guns which make a noise like the real thing and thereby scare off the attacking enemy, are reported to be one of the latest innovations tried by the Austrians on the southern front.
 It is a well known fact that in fantry, once Ioosed on a charge upon trenches defended with rapid fire guns, are apt to swerVe instinctively from points Where the Maxirns seem to be thickest. However dense the roar of heavy artillery during attacks, the short, sharp barking of these lit tie guns is still distinctly audible. In order to increase the Psychological eff feee of machine gun fire, the Aust rians therefore hit upon the plan of mounting in 4 their trenches. alter nateIy the real MaKims,s large pro- portion of dummies. These produce a rattle identical in sound with that of the real gun, and are operated by rapidly turning a handle.

 Copy of Capt. Cunningham's ap- probation of MT. G. H. Fellows, the prize masters humane and tender conduct towards him, after capture and during his indisposition.
 It is with infinite pleasure that sti1is opportunity is afforded me of doing that justice to your humanity and kindness which they so justly de- serve. and thanking you for your at- tentior not only to me, but the rest of the wounded of his British Ma jestys late Packet i MORGIANNA. since you have had the charge of that ship as prize master. I must also give you every credit for the anxiety you have shown to preserve your prize which I assure you, think you have done your best in, both to your country and your owners. If it is ever in my future power to return your kindness to myself. shall cer- tAfnly never be forgetful of that es- -sentfa1 duty
