would obey, one who should have the
right to mark them in their gymna-
SUM periods.
One of the first suggestions made
by the new leaders was that an ath-
letic association be formed, with nomi-
nal dues. The response was hearty.
Ninety-two per cent. Of the boys in
school to-day are members of the
"A. A." and the gymnasium boasts
its needed equipment.
This is the way the system works:
The class goes to the gymnasium with
its leader in charge. The physical
director let's the boys come in and, as
they put 1t, raise the dickens for a
few minutes. He blows a whistle
Silence falls instantly. He losses the
whistle to the class leader, who puts
the boys through the programme for
the day. Then the boys are allowed
in turn to explain and demonstrate
any new exercise they have evolved.
During the general play from to 5
o'clock the leaders are still In charge,
with Mr.. Rosenthal in the background.
Winning the speyer "s."
1t sounds simple. But this is min
iature democracy, with none of the
problems of a State lacking. For in
stance, the most coveted school honor
is the Speyer 81" AS formerly
awarded only an athlete could win it.
Under the new order the smaller and
weaker boys asked for a chance, so
the boys as a whole outlined a -four
sided" man. And in 1918 thirteen
boys. none of them notable for size or
special ability. won the rs" as "all
around men,"
However, the adoption of this en-
larged standard of physical, social,
moral and mental efficiency necessl-
tated a system of marking. This, in
turn spelled added responsibility for
the class leaders, with fights and heart
aches thrown in. Even If the boys
had chosen one of their number to OBJ
serve them at all times. even IL they
had said, I'm our play. mark us on
self control, fair play, sociability, abil-
ity to act In crisis, courage and clean
mindedness," they were but human
and at times resented espionage
Especially as sometimes the leaders
were so conscientious in performing
their duties they forgot that they, too,
were being watched, that they. also,
were under obligation to be -four
sided" OF course, they were reminded.
Boys of twelve and thirteen are not
slow in expressing their opinions.
The Boys Evolve n Creed.
Yet in the school paper, "odz and
Endz." the boys persisted in trying to
express the inexpressible. to put into
words what they themselves called
the Speyer spirit Finally they
evolved the "Speyer Creed" a modifi-
cation of the Scout Law, that became
the leaders guide for marking. In
reality 1t is philosophy Of life. a code

In sections and afterward fitted to-
gether as In modern construction.
The columns are carved with borders
and designs seemingly after no set
plan. The columns also are sur
mounted with massive capitals, some
showing heads of fabulous monsters
with bullying eyes and protruding
teeth. Many of the columns are wholly
irregular, with a human figure placed
at intervals as If stepping forth from
the stone.
The Dravidian style of architecture.
of which Director Warner says the
shrine is a specimen, is found in the
southern portion of the Indian PENN
sula, and takes its name from a race
Of the same name which inhabited
this territory. They were worshippers
of Brahma and reflected their religion
in all works of art. One of the best
known groups Of monuments In this
style is that of the Seven Pagodas"
or the Mamallapuram "raths' on the
seashore south from Madras. These
raths are each hewn from a single
block OF granite. They are the earliest
form of Dravidian architecture and
date back to the seventh and eighth
centuries
Buildings in the Dravidian style are
very numerous in proportion to the
extent of the areas in which they are
found. The temples sometimes con-
sist of a square base, ornamented ex-
ternally by tall, thin pilasters and con-
tanning a cell in which the image Is
kept. Cornices for the most part are
of double curvature, while in other
Indian styles they are mostly straight
with q downward slope.
Hindu authorities agree that the
style is of wooden origin dating back
to period of Indian history of which
there is little record The sanctuary
itself was often low and Insignificant,
preceded by imposing porches and
hypostyle halls called "choultries," the
latter being sometimes of extraordi-
nary extent though seldom lofty. Di-
rector Warner believes it is to a porch
of this sort that the columns. of which
so many appear. belong.

Americans in Academic des Sciences

academies. the principal one OF which
is the Academic des Sciences. Its full
membership is sixty-slx, all of whom
must be residents Of France. Besides
there are 116 corresponding members
from all parts of the world.
Mathematical sciences and physical
sciences are the two groups into which
the academic is divided. In the for
mer are five sections: geometry. me-
chanics, astronomy, geography and
navigation and general physics. Dr.
visions in the physical sciences are
chemistry. mineralogy, botany, rural
economy, anatomy and zoology and
medicine and surgery. No matter how
renowned, a scientific specialist must
await not only a vacancy in the aead-
emie, but one in the particular section
to which he belongs. Only ten corre-
spending members can be elected from
each of the eleven sections except that
of astronomy, which has sixteen mem
bers. The corresponding members may
be residents of France or Of any other
country.
The academies fall membership Of
sixty-six is equally divided among the
eleven sections
Gen. ZaboudslA's assassination in
an uprising last year in Petrograd
caused vacancy in the mechanical
section of the corresponding members.
DR.. Waddell was finally chosen to the
place after several months Of deliber-
alton. The Americans selection was
based upon the valve to practical
science OF his numerous books, papers
and addresses on the theory and prac-
tice OF engineering. besides his con-
tributions to the development Of tech
nical education.

TTHREE years ago a group of
educators faced this situation:
Given, two hundred boys
starting the most formative and ad-
venturous age Of life-the teen period;
wanted, good American citizens. The
boys were of twenty-four races and
nationalities, and of many creeds and
religions. Some were tough little
street urchins. others were lads still
tied to their mothers apron strings.
Was 1t possible, the educators asked,
without talking about citizenship to
create a concrete ideal OF 1t in the
minds of these boys? Without lectur-
ing them about being good" to turn
the altruism of this time of life into
civic channels? The Speyer Junior
High School is the answer to these
questions.
This, city public school under the
educational direction of Teachers Col
lege, Columbia University, is super
vised by Prof. Albert X. Fretwell and
Prof, Thomas H. Briggs. In February,
1915, when this work was begun, a
physical director was added to guide

enthusiastic, thoroughly familiar with
play on city streets. Acquainted at
first hand with boys problems, COM
pletely in sympathy with boys, he has
idealism as well, and so can appre-
bend and interpret in terms of prac-
tical life the vision shown him by the
supervisors.
Obviously the play OF the boys was
the direct line OF approach, for physi-
cal activity is the keynote OF all spon-
taneously organized gangs" Mr..
Rosenthal told the directors: when
played on the street one or two OF
the fellows acted as leaders, and so
long as the ball lasted and the police
man kept away we had a wonderful
time. This is proof that boys can or
ganize themselves. All we need to dc
here is to get the spirit of street into
the gymnasium"
"All right, begin" replied the ad-
visers. First, teach the boys to per-
form better the desirable activities
they will perform anyway; aftesward
reveal higher types Of activity to
them"
Leaders Hard to Select.
So each class was assigned one hour
twice weekly in the gymnasium, and
all the boys were allowed the use OF
the room for play from to 8 o'clock
daily. Mr. Rosenthal lent them a bas-
ket ball and an indoor baseball set.
But every gang has to have a leader.

Distance of Bird Migration

THE distances which some birds
cover In their migrations is al
most beyond belief. The golden
plover, which breeds in the Arctic re-
gions, is known to winter as far south
as the pampas Of Argentina, fully
5000 miles from where 1t rears It's
young. II is believed that half this
distance is covered in a single nom
stop flight. The birds are known to
launch out over the Atlantic in the
vicinity OF Nova Scotia, and there is
only an occasional record of their be-
ing seen again until they appear in
northern South America.

Both male and female characters are
attired in elaborate headdress. One of
the freezes shows a boat carrying
two women and three children. Fig.

Several styles of columns appear.

In both cases none too much attention
is given to perspective.
Friezes of the Indian shrine offer
an interesting study. These are we'll

after the style used in Doric temples.
The Egyptians were usually content
to ornament their friezes with rudely
