NAMING THINGS HASTILY.

consideration, however, they changed 1t 10

press the satisfaction of the Genoese; whereas
liz the Jugo-S lavs or Greats or some one else

of their disappointment fresh IN the people 5

The practice of naming places after living
celebrities is not as q rule to be recommended.
since no one can be sure that the future Will
fulfill the promise of the present. Suppose, as
NAV easily be the case, some Texas boys nave
received Burleson as given name; how 1t Will
handicap them. Another individual more or
less in the public eye of late was named James
Beauchamp after prominent citizen OF MS
state But as the namesake developed there
was nothing beau about him though the champ
part of his patronymic remained applcaote
enough The Young man therefore wisely de-
termined TO pare his praenomen down 10
Champ The distinetiveness of this gave 1t an
advertising value; and doubtless it has helped
to make the bearer OF it known by name to the
Ipeople on whose minds the name James Beau
champ Clark would have made only an evanes-
cent impression
When man is done with name it is gen

What if Colonel Harvey had named a son

thinking out graceful things to say about the
Princeton scholar and cogent reasons why ne
should be PRESIDENT How embarrassing 1t
would be! 1t is safer TO name children after
cities than to take the chances of calling them
after living men. OF course expectancy some
times dictates that the youngster be named IN

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION.

The Association for the Advancement OF
Progressive Education, OF which DE- Charles
w. Eliot is honorary president, viii De more
Of help when it gets past general criticism
of what is and begins definite proposal OF what
is to come In a document sent out by the asso-
citation the general indictment OF orr present
school methods which Dr. Eliot wrote three
wears ago is reiterated with some additions
Thus: The child is cramped; his Individuality
is not fostered by routine that Is adapted 70
an average, not an individual; children are not
taught so that they develop independent ability
to do and to think; the physical weLl0eIng o.
children is not sufficiently regarded These
are facts which are admitted. What We wait
for is the way to progress; the method Of pro
ceclure by which with the money and means
available we can make public education better.
The circular sent tells Of the conditions making
for the health Of pupils in certain schools and
of the seeking for freer and more indiTidualistic
instruction But these schools have special
advantages, their buildings have been made 70
accord with the plans of the instructors There
is in them a faculty in numbers and ability
capable Of giving the individual child more at
tention than he gets in the public school.
The progressive educationalists have the
means vast increase in expense for teaching
force and total Encouragement Of the educa-
tional program. And this in turn means edu-
eating the public first of all to the notion of
spending double the money it now appropriates
to schools and to the notion Of equipping the
schools with experts who may be trusted to get
definite results as the present guidance for
teachers is removed in favor of freedom and
method in course Of study.
Doubtless the Association for the Advance
ment of Progressive Education exists to pro
mote popular education and as it succeeds i
will bring it's ideas closer to realities. But i
will be necessary to begin at something definite
in the conditions of the present, and there i
such beginning being made throughout tn
country. The danger is that the experimental
will prevail to the detriment Of systemati
progress. The experimental school as sepa

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
ATIHE GATES OF NAY.


Spring has opened her garden gate.
Come in, my lore, and see
The miracle Of her winter cream
Awaiting you and me.
Where yesterdays sweet peas forlorn
On frosty wings took flight
a flock of pink and purple wings
Came iutteEing down last night
And naked thorn and tattered leaf
Waits Of the wintry SHOWS
Lift up their rudy faces now,
The children OF the rose.
Bubbles OF golden laughter now,
Baubles of Nab and Pan,
pink with the first shy blush Of May.
They greet US, maid and man
For Spring has opened her garden gate,
And thrush and oriole throw
Ny harp of roses at your feet
With all the buds that blow;
And watching these, that dance for love,
And dye and weave and spin,
Open the garden OF your heart,
And let my heart come in.

businessmen who heard the able dis
cussion OF educational needs by
County Superintendent Bradley at
the MONDAY luncheon yesterday are
doubtless giving more serious
thought today to the aims and pur-
poses Of education.
1t is patent that the schools system
generally might be revised to the
advantage OF the rank and file OF the
pupils. School reforms, however
should not become radical, for 1t is
possible that Ia attempting to make
them more practical. the science OF
education might become circum-
scribde.
In making the schools practical it
lis possible that the development of
sccalled handpower might prove
detrimental to the development OF
the mental faculties of the pupil
The modern tendency is TO invest
a greater utility In the educational
system 1t is important that the
schools develop artisans as well as
scholars.
Interesting results have been OBJ
served IN the introduction Of manual
arts in the schools. 1t has been
found that time and attention given
these vocational studies did not oper-
ate to the detriment OF the pupil in
keeping up with the regular studies.
The relief served to develop the
mind as well as the hand and with
less hours devoted to the usual class
sessions, the pupils made grades as
good If not better than the students

AN OUTLAWED PASS.

In times past-possiblv in times present
when for one reason or another production costs
rise. the policy on which both labor and capital
have agreed is summed up In pass it on to
the consumer Capital has seen in this a means
of maintaining profit; labor has assented be-
cause it has gained its point in wage or time
demanded The public has assented because it
las not seemed able to find any way to help
itself
But neE intelligent labor and capital begin
TO sse the fooIishness of this policy which has
much to DO with the difficulty in which produc
ton and INDUSTRY in general find themselves.
For IN the greatly diversified markets Of Our
modern society labor and capital are themselves
the principal consumers They have been pass
