A Federal Department of Education Ad-
yocated

NUNaLEus
The general session held last evening
was one of the most interesting and in
struetive of the whole series, the speaker
being Prof. George D. Strayer of teach
ers' college, Columbia university, who
had spoken informally at the Friday
morning session. His topic was "The
Emergency in Education"
The evening session was opened with
music by the Spaulding school orchestra
and that number was followed by a Sc
lection by the Spaulding high school glee
club under the direction of Miss Wallace,
supervisor of music. the selection being
"The Storm Fiend."
Professor Strayer's address was fol-
lowed with the closest interest by the
large audience and the teachers went
home with some new ideas along the line
of the educational needs of the United
States. The speaker prefaced his defini-
tion of the emergency in education" by
calling attention to the fact that more
than 100000 people in the United States
confessed in the last census that they
were illiterates, and the speaker added
that there is probability there are several
more millions who are really not able to
read or write intelligently enough to
keep up with the progress of events He
estimated that in round numbers there
are approximately 100000 of people in
the United States who are virtually illit.
crates.
In the second place the people of the
United States are not in the physical
condition in which they should be. Pro
fessor Strayer called attention to the
statistics brought out by the FIRST draft
in which "a per cent of the men between
the ages of Il and 81, who were called
for service, were found to be lacking in
the physical qualities which are essen.
tial to soldier; and the speaker EN-
phasized that they were men in the pc
riod of life when it might be expected
that they would be physically fit, if ever.
No statistics of the physical condition
Of the women are available, continued
the speaker but there is no doubt that a
like percentage of the women of the
country would have been found to be
equally unfit to bear the burdens which
devolve upon women.
Much of the reason for this lack of
physical condition. the speaker thought,
was 10 De louuu III Jhe lHduequhJe udiH
ing which the young people receive in
schools; not enough attention is paid to
the play side of school life by means of
which the physical side is developed.
But these matters, Professor Strayer
said, were not the real emergency in edu-
cation at the present time. The real
emergency is that the United States
must have properly trained and ade,
quately paid teachers; and when this
emergency is met the bad conditions al
ready mentioned would be in large part

respect, and there the merchants hung
such things as cords, nets and girdles
out into the street, and often sat in
front of their shops.
The Suk ell Bizar (grain market) is
a broader street, and lighter, since it is
not vaulted In, but, as many more
people cOngregated there, progress was
as difficult as in the butchers street.
This was the busy part; in every other
region of the Moslem quarter hardly
a soul was to be seen at some hours of
the day, except in Karat Bah elAmud
(the street of the Damascus Gate),
and Karat Bah Sitti Miriam (street of
Our Lady Mary's Gate), where grocers
did an active trade, the fellahin from
the eastern country buying nec~eSsaries
there just before leaving the town. A
conventional thin veil or net was
dropped over the shop entrance, and
projecting baskets of rice, nuts, ~lentils,
etc., from II a. m. to 1. p. m, signify
ing that the M was away, pre-
suInably at prayers in the adjacent
Haram. The protection was more real
than any police measures could have
secured.
In the Crowded Grain Market.
In the Suk ell Bizar the throng was
sometimes so great that it was impos-
sible to advance a step especially was
this the case when q long string OF
camelS loaded with grain made it's way
to the wheat bazaar, the small square
underneath a. vault which gives the
street it's name. Wheat and barley,
lentils and dhurra, OF maize, are here
poured on big heaps and sold to the
public. The official appointed to meas
ure out the grain in the Tabbeh (about
eight rotls) or Sa' (half a Tabbeh) is
quite a serious and important person
age. Filling his measure, he will begin
by announcing Allahu Ahad God is
One), and continues saying this till
the first tabbeh is in the sack. 1.-TWO"
three" he says at every measure, till
he comes to seven, when he says same
ha (pardon), instead Of saba (seven).
The number seven, being that of the
princes of the jam (genis), must not
be named while handling grain for fear
tie jam should carry off the blessing.

The crowd is exasperating at times,
though cOmical incidents occur Occa-
sionally. AS l slowly pushed my way
forward n day, stopping to avoid
huge sacks, a European snOb, anxious
to escape being crushed, stood in a
corner, wearing a new straw hat. Hats
are, as a rule, disliked by orientals. The
European, in derisiOn, is often called

tice in a crowd. A camel, waiting to
pass, looked round casually, put out his
huge lips, seized the strange straw
basket, and in one bite ate half the
hat, to the distress OF Mr.. Snob and the
delight Of the by-standers.
The north and northeast portion as
far as the Temple Area was most ex-
clusively Moslem. Like the butchers
and the spicers, the gold and silver
smiths, the blacksmiths and the cop
persmiths and other workers had their
separate streets, the last named near
the dyers; but many began to feel the
influence Of a new period and left
their old quarters, bidding farewell to
the ancient oriental tradition.
