SHAKESPEARE IN SCHOOLS.

Nearly 1000 schools, representing
half as many separate communities,
have already arranged for a pageant
or dramatic performance in comment
grafton of the Booth anniversary of
Shakespeare's death, according to fig
ures compiled by the bureau of eGu-
cation of the Department of the In
terror. Although the actual ami
versary occurs this month, celebra-
tions are to be held throughout the
year. Many elementary and secondary
schools will this year devote their
entire commencement program to
Shakespeare pageant or play; and
number of the summer schools will
take advantage of the opportunity to
give outdoor performance of PLAYS OF
Shakespeare or about him. In order to
assist schools and colleges in planning
celebrations, the bureau of education
in cooperation with the Drama
League of America, has issued a bull
letin giving practical suggestions as to
kinds of celebrations, type perfor-
mances, lists of dances, and designs
for simple costuming for Shakespear-
ian plays. The bulletin emphasizes
the special opportunity afforded by
the Shakespeare tercentenary to co-or-
dinate the school work in literature,
music and art with such practical sub
Jects as shopwork and physical edu-
cation. Merely as matter of educa-
tional policy" declares the bulletin,
there is urgent need for the influence
which the Shakespearian festivals will
exert in the schools. These festivals
are needed to give new tone and ouat-
lty 10 the literary. musical, dramatic
and recreational interests of young
people-and, indeed, of the public
generally"

THE MENACE OF WEALTH.

1t is true that prosperity creates

in Harper's Magazine for March.
Wealth often produces inequality
changes modes of life, separates rich
from poor, and sows the seeds of
hatred and distrust. AS a poor, I'M
differentiated community acquires
wealth, and this wealth comes to men
unequally. classes arise, and men
dress, live. get money, marry. and
fight according to the traditions and
morality of their own class. Luxury
enters. Sparta cannot maintain her
strict regimen, her iron money, her
rigid simplicity and hardness of life,
once the Lacedaemonians acquire
wealth. When, under Solomon. Judea

ity and religion itself become gilt

Z. S. SENATE PROSPECTS.

There is a firm conviction among
the political prognosticators in Re
publican circles at Washington Lat
the next senate will be controlled by
the Republicans A change of eight
members would evenly divide the SEN
ate and leave the deciding vote on i'm
portant questions to the vice president.
change of nine would give the Re-
publicans majority of two. And the
Republican leaders are estimating that
their party will gain one senator in
each of these states: Maine, New York,
Ned Jersey, West Virginia, Ohio
Montana, Nevada and Nebraska, and
two in Indiana, making ten in all.
They class Mar land and Arizoni as
doubtful, but think the strong prob
abilities are that the latter will re-
turn a Republican to succeed Senator
Ashurst. This is also said to be the
judgment of some of the impartial
newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington. The latter. though, are of the
opinion that the Republicans will lose
a senator in North Dakota, although
that prediction is stoutly denied by the
North Dakota Republicans. Taking
this estimate. the Republicans will
gain at least ten, probably eleven - d
stand a fair chance to gain twelve, but
will lose one, so they will control the
senate by a majority of from two to
