dcfepse of the high skirt and low neck
and ruthlesely knocks the props out
from under all the critics Of female
styles. and she does a good job of il.
She proves couclusivoly that not only
are both styles not harmful to health
or morals. but that on the contrary
they have the advantage from
standpoint Of either beauty convcn-
lence or health. Whatever in dress
conduces to freedom Of action, clean
lluess. comfort and consequent good
health IL to Abe recommended The
high neck, especially that style known
ms the "choker" is undoubtedly in
furious. II for no other reason than
that it obstructs tho circulation in the
neck The baroness of throat can do
no harm, even in winter, provided it
is followed all the year round. The
covering up Of the neck, or any other
part Of the body for that matter,
makes 1t tender and susceptible to
cold, hence the part of wisdom is to
maintain the same custom and not
smother yourself in furs at enc time
and throw everything open to the
wind at another.
The imputation Of indecency in re-
gard to either style is not worthy Of
consideration. There is no occasion
for lady to be nervous about what
the men are thinking or saying. pro-
vided she IL conscious of being cor
rect. No gentleman will find Occa-
sion for sneers and innuendoes about
what u woman wears, and what other
men think IL not worthy of her CON.
Germ New styles have always been
condemned as immodest by someone,
and usually those most liberal with
their criticism would not recognize
-deccncy If they saw It, No woman
can dress so as to escape the criti-
cism of some man. so what's the use
worrying about 1t? The evil is alto
gether i'm those who criticize. not In
those criticized. We admire the
Texas lady, who is herself the wife
of one doctor and the mother of an
other, for her brave protest against
the reign OF prejudice and unreason-
ableness. May all that Is good and
beautiful in the present fashions be
perpetuated for a century and only
the injurious and uncOuth suffer
change

REMOVE THE HANDICAP.

There is considerable agitation in
educational circles over what is
known as the Overlapping plan of
promotions Old ways are hard to
break and the present grade system
is likely to survive for long time yet
However, on question Of justice and
the better advancement of really
bright pupils, it is to be hoped that
the new system win soon come into
general use The world does not
claim to bc an expert ON educational
matters. OF course, but 1t does act
take an expert mind to see where tde
old system is defective and wherein
the new system promises at least one
Improvement While he has never
taught school, the writer was once a
schoolboy himself and experienced
the limitations and inmsticcs Of Tho
old way. when IL comes TO pic't1g
out the flaws of the grade system ne
can qualify as an expert, even if he Is
relying on his judgment alone rs to
the merits of the one now proposed.
The whole thing in nutshell is
this: Under the grade system no pu
pill could receive promotion. even
were he exceptionally bright, ms long
as he failed to pass in one or two
branches required 10y the curricului1.
He was restrained from further prog
ress in those things in which he cN-
celled and compelled to mark tiTo
until he had squeezed thru N cN-
animation on the defective studies.
Many a genius has been unreasonnllY
held back because his mind was not
turned so as TO assimilatc some dry
extraction required by the school.
This scheme would be all right if we
expected our schools to turn ont
scholars Of uniform qualifications. nut
such thing is rcpugnaut to nature
and to the best interests Of the race.
Some pupils will excel In some things
and bc duh in others. No human
mind was over constructed So as %

plishments and none over viii bc. The

out to the greatest degree that FOR
which the pupil lis best fitted
On the other hand. this overlapping
plan as proposed would grade a pupil
in each study according to his accom-
plishmcuts Thus the smart pupil
would get the reward due him and be
encouraged to excel instead Of being
held back 10y some study that failed to
appeal to his turn of mind II would
be possible then for his progress I'm
the lines of his tendency without
being impcdcd with unreasonable re
strictons. IT might be incouvcnicnt
for the teachers and compel a revi-
sion of educational methods hut It
would hc worth am it cost There Is
no more reason why "a pupil should
be held back by h= failures in one or
two studies than there is for the
bright pupil TO hovo TO wait on the
slowncss of the dam ones The oh
ject Of schooling is not 10 turn out y
bunch OF scholars as like as two peas
all the way round, but its object is
TO train their minds for the best ac-
complshmyut n the limos for which
they show fitness. I'm this way we
will have fewer educated fools and
more vigorous, successful graduates

cncc pure and simple. for the bare
possession of money wealth does not
necessarily bar man from being as
rich in other regards as he is in purse,
If he has a mind to be so. Neither
does the lack of money peyent man
from possessing wealth of mind
and heart that makes him more an
object Of envy than the suspicion he
may display toward the money-rich
man. Many man would give all his
chances Of purity Of heart and big
ness of mind to be able to roll in the
luXuries that money makes available
many a moncy-rich man would
gladly give all his wealth to attain
The clean heart and healthy mind of
his poor brother. If we cann<t have
all three kinds of wealth, we had bet
ter be glad that the wealth of mind
and richness Of heart have fallen to
our portion than that we should have
all that money can buy along with
petty soul and perverted mind.
The possession of riches per Sc Is
not bar to excellence in other at
tributes The reason we have that
suspicion IS because the love of money
and the absorption of the money
maker tend to kill off the finer sus-
capabilities of humanity. II is no
crime to he rich. 1t is no condemna-
ton to possess an abundance of ma
tcrial things. But IT, as in so many
cases, all the better things have been
sacrificed TO the chase for money,
thcn indeed is the possessor "f money
alone poor man and one to he pited.
If a man has no friends except those
who cling to him for the crumbs that
fall from hrs table. If he has no ideas
except those that have a morccnary
turn; If he has no sympathy with suf-
fcrlng, no pity for the weak and no
desire to Jend his strength TO those
who fall by the wayside indeed
Is he the poorest man on earth, even
tho his property be reckoned by mill
lions. He does not even know what II
means TO hc rich, to have place in
the hearts Of the people, to do some
thing to cnnoble his fellows and raise
the standard of humanity above the
level of its past achievements, to real
tie a vision OF things noblcr and more
astinEly beneficial than food and
drink and apparel. He indeed is rich.
tho he has neither silver nor gold,
who can comfort the lonely, lift up
the fallen. console the dlsconsolate
and himself grow richer all the time
from the reaction Of life spent in
considering the good Of others more
than himself.
