Educated Rooster.

"SpizZerinktum' is an old name
even for a rooster, but this rooster is
no ordinary fowl. The bird comes
from a strain Of Barred Plymouth
Rocks, was Matched last May and
weighs six pounds. He is owned by
Il. y. Bennett of Hartford City, who
refuses to part with his prize-winner
at any prices. Judges at various fairs
he has been shown, have told
the owner that he is a most promising
bird, and this is borne out by the fact
that 500 has been offered for him.
"Spizzerinktum'' is also an educated
fowl. One of his chief delights is rid
ing the seat Of a specially constructed
wagon and holding the reins over eight
boys who act as steeds for him. He
drove this team in the centennial pa
rade at Hartford City.-Indianapolis

War Cries Of the Jew.

f.. X. Upset, IN the Century,.
The Jew has as many war cries as
there are tongues in Europe. for he
fights with them all; and then he has
his own war cry, that eternal earful
~ of his that in these days is rendinE
h heavens over Russian and Galician
Polands.
AN still there is another and a new.
er cry coming, the war cry of the neu-
trail Jew. To arms! to arms, O Israel!
has arisen, the sudden laundering cry
throughout the length and breadth Of
New York Ghetto, and all the other
Ghettos in the larger cities Of Ameri-
ca.
w know, of course, what are the
arms Of the Ghetto Jew; they are
tongue and pen. BY means of these
1t is intended to raise the Jew from the
depths Of his ashes and make him a
live nation again. A Of
American Jews is to be called, and it
is to demand at the conclusion of the
war, or before it, the return of Pales-
tine to it's ancient owners. For the
Jews are a national. and they must
have a land, and Palestine is theirs.
"Tha is to say, in brief, that while
nearly $4,000 Jews on the European
battlefields are at one another's threats
in vindication each Of a different ma
tionality, the Jews far away from the
brushing shells and glittering bayonets
are calling out to them: No you're all
in the wrong For you are all one.
1T is not for us to determine wheth-
er the Jews are a nation. 1t is not for
one man to tell another what he should
be. One is what one feels. II the
Jews feel themselves a nation, that is
sufficient"

The Grade System Doomed.
From the Minneapolis journal

If, as reported. the board Of education
Is Of a mind to modify. and ultimately
abolish, the grade system in the schools,
1t will align itself with the best modern
thought. The late DR.. Edward Lawrence
Stevens, a brilliant educator, said nearly
10 years ago.:
1.-The grade system has got to be driven
out Of the American school system 1t is
wrong, both in theory and in practice. II
Is wrong. because 1t teaches subjects In
stead of pupils. 1t is minds that we must
expand and develop along the lines o.

Under the grade system, you must take
''all or none" 1t takes 70 account Of

lines. A pupil may be brilliant in mathe

or spelling. At examination time. how.

1t isn't the average boy or girl that il

that are going to dc the average work of
the world: and the average young nina
is usually much above the average in some
particular direction. 1t should be per
bent, and not be held back by infrnities
In other subjects.

wonders of the world. and thousands Of
travellers go each year to see them. But
the other six, If they existed today, would
not be classed with wonders"
The Temple of Diana at Ephesus was

The Colossus of Rhodes. a brass statue Of

Rhodes, was only a little more han one
half as large as the statue, Liberty En-

New York harbor. The Mausoleum at
HalicaTnassus lacked 80 feet of being as
high as Grants tomb on Riverside Drive.
Pharos Watch Tower, at the entrance to
the harbor of Alexandria, was not so high
as Washington's monument. and there arc
several buildings in New York city mucn
higher. The statue of the Olympian Jove
Is surpassed in size by several colossal
statues today.
Only one of the seven wonders of the
ancient world was of practical utility. 1t
was the Pharos lighthouse, 400 feet high,
with a fire playing on it's top as a guide
to sailors. The other six were of no
| practical benefit.
The publishers of Popular Mechanics
sent LOGO letters, several years ago, to
eminent scientists in this country and
Europe, asking them to name the seven
greatest wonders of the modern world.
The majority of votes were given to:
Wireless, telephone. aeroplane, radium,

Not all would agree with that choice.

door, where the buzz of voices an

Dropping on his hands and knees he
entered, making strange noises distinct
~ resembling the neighing of a horse.
Aware Of a dead silence, he looked up,
and found the guests assembled for an
eight-o'clock dinner regarding him
with disgust not unmixed with alarm.
