DEFECT IN LANGUAGE STUDY
Boston Newspaper Points Out Evils
Long Existing In the System In
Public Schools.

If any teachers of the modern Ian
guages in Boston's public schools feel
Inclined to protest against the school
committees order that they shall prove
an ability to converse in the languages
which they teach, they will be re-
strained by natural pride from ex-
pressing their protests. The new re-
uuirement is so obviously for the good
of the system a teacher who opposed
1t would have difficulty In convincing
the public that she really desired to
give good instruction in her subjects,
or even that she was able to acquire
one Of the prerequisites to good IN
structiOn In the modern languages.
From the attempt to use a foreign
tongue as living means Of expression,
there can be generated both for teach
er and pupils much enthusiasm OF IN
terest. In truth, unless the languages
are approached with this purpose IN
view there is almost no other power
which can save the arduous task OF
learning declensions and conjugat1ons
from being an unmitigated source or
fatigue to the pupils. That 1t has
usually been such source is proved
by the fact that very few American
students ever come to any respectable
ability to converse in foreign languages
as a result Of the years devoted to In
struction in them both in the schools
and the colleges.
Indeed, the failure Of American pu-
pills to acquire any living knowledge
of the foreign languages has been so
complete as to cause many of our edu-
Gators to despair Of ever achieving sue
cess in the Observation-Disclosures IRAN
script.

New Ideas About iron Age.

The idea Is gaining strength that the
iron age may have been begun long
before the discovery, about 1900 b. o.,
of the art Of smelling ores, and II
seems not improbable that the natiVe
iron from meteorites was quite COM
monty used for tools and weapons IN
prehistoric times. At that period a
little metal would have gone long
way. It Is only quite recently that me-
teorites found have been recognized
and recorded; but G. F. thinner, listing
the known iron-containing meteorltes'
nearly all collected within the last lOo
wears, shows that even these might
supply about 25O tons Of iron. Or TINS
material 90 per cent is malleable n1ckel'
iron alloy. Fragments suitable Tor
mounting on handles as crude nipple,
ments can be easily detached, ano
could be shaped by very simple meth
DDS. Tools of meteoritic iron, more
over. have been discovered in use. The
Aztecs of Mexico, at the time OF the
Spanish conquest, had daggers and
knives Of iron, said to have been de-
rived from the sky and more recently
the iron of meteorites has been found
In use among the American Indians
and the Eskimos.

Reunion of Fighting Twentieth.

The annual reunion of the Twentieth
Tennessee infantry and Rutledge's
battery will be held at Nashville Sept.
81. Uncle David Scales will be there
with a wagon load of his famous "Dal-
ton pies," a culinary concoction that
only the redoubtable David knows how
to make. The thin gray line is con-
tinually growing thinner, and spe-
cial effort will be made to induce as
many of the "old boys" to attend this
reunion as possible. They were all
young boys in 1861, but relentless time
has done it's work, and now most OF
those who survive are old and bent
and gray The old Twentieth was
composed of brave men.
