BACKWARD" Pupils.

The educational meetings at De-
troit last week devoted much time
TO discussion of the best methods Of
teaching backward pupils in the
public schools, From the press re-
ports, II would seem that the ex-
perts offered little OF practical adj
vantage on most practical question.
The wonderful, beautiful and use
full things latent In the minds OF
most normal children may have
nothing TO do with quickness OF
study or celebrity of memofizing. The
smart child Is not always the most
capable, although he may be most
satisfactory and gratifying to His
teacher. Teachers get results out Of
nimble minds, which they fail TO
evoke from slower but more depend
able pupils.
This is neither defense OF. nor
plea for the slow student nut II
Is n suggestion--perhaps an invita-
ton TO tho school-teacher to esti-
mate and give heed 20 the character
as well as 70 the flexibility of the
young minds now busy in the class
rooms.
Ia II going too far 60 suggest that
character is of greater Importance
than scholarship? II is an old qucs-
tion, but 1t has not boen answered
satisfactorily by the average school
teacher A child that is merely
taught. may grow mp without even
the rudiments of an education. II
Ls possible to teuch Intellectual
tricks, without ever touching or de-
veloplng the best, biggest and most
enduring faculties of child AZ
school.
The slow-thInking, earnest and
not brilliant hoy and girl Of the
classrc ON may reflect no Immediate
credit upon the teacher. They can
not show Off They are the plod-
ders You win find That they are
usually earnest. duttful, laborious,
dependable There VIII be no smart
Alecks' among them. But II yoa
look, you viii find patient, modest.
hopeful and courageous little ones
who need encouragement ana 4
need OF praise. For the time they
cannot compete with their more
adaptable and brilliant classmates.
But OF their patience. modesty, hope
and silent courage. a good teacher
can elicit and build more enduring
values than from any other material.
To have n thought for and much
confidence in ao-called backward pu-
pills IL the greatest work Of any
teacher. They will ultimately be
tho people who count" II they are
given proper assistance AT the right
time. and the teachers hope and
courage are added 10 theirs.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
CAST SHADOW ON
STOCK EXCHANGE
Delicate International Situation
Has Strong Influence on
Feyerish Market War
Shares Record Losses.

tsv ~e~r,sc ,ouss.l SPECIAL LEASED wss'


New York, Feb. 2s.--The foreign
situation as represented by the deli
! cate state of the submarine contro-
versy and Germany's offensive in
( France. cast its shadow over today's
ifeverish market. Liqudations were
insistent and the short interests ac-
celebrated the decline by a resumption
of its recent aggressive tactics.
Shares of the war group and other
specialties which are wont to follow
the lead OF those issues, recorded ex-
IRENE losses of 3 To 6 points, while
seasoned or investment shares yielded
TO 3. There was marked improve
ment in the final hour, the bears
rushing to cover on rumors that Ger
many agreed to some notifications as
to attacks on enemy ships.
Support was lacking most of the
time and the feeble rallies OF the mid
session simply accumulated the extent
Of the downward trend. Further
cause for uneasiness was occasioned
by rumors of recurrence of reyolu-
tionary troubles in Mexico, shares OF
companies operating in the southern
republic manifesting acute weakness.
Yet another unsettling feature was
found in the removal of heavy selling
of Anglo French SIS, which fell to a
new minimum of 93M. Dealings in
these bonds excited much unfavorable
comment and heightened apprehen-
sion regarding new foreign issues
which are likely to be offered in this
market
There were few neutralizing de-
vclopmcnts, such as additional excel
lent railway returns for January and
earnings of several of the
leading concerns engaged in the full !
fillment of war contracts. These \
were completely Ignored, however, In
the sterner issues of the day.
Almost the sole element of strength |
was furnished by Reading, that stock
showing an extreme gain Of 9 u points |
nj S2i5 The familiar story OF an !
early distribution of Readings hid !

pose in the past, gained currency. but |

tative quarters.

This involves, first, the removal Of the
water which reaches the surface Of
the road from precipitation or other
wise; and second. il certain places the
removal Of any ground water which
reaches the road from underground
seepage. Surface drainage is accom-
plished by securing z reasonably firm
