Bonaparte's Granddaughter
To Attend Memorial Mass

PARIS, April 29.-When on May
5, France observes the Centenary of
the deathof Napoleon Bonaparte
with a memorial mass at Notre
Dame CATHEDRAL it Is probable that
in the great throng will be grand
daughter of the Emperor, says the
Petit Parisien. That newspaper dis
covered the descendant, Madame
Mesnard Leon, who is a daughter
of the natural son of Napoleon and
Of Eleanore De La Plaigne, maid of
honor to Caroline Murat This son
WIS born in 1906 and received from
his father thetitle of Count Leon.
While imprisoned on the island OF
st, Helena, Napoleon made a will
in which he made provision for the
son but the document was never
executed. Count Leon married quite
late in life, and was the father of a
daughter, Madame Mesnard Leon,
and three sons, Charles CASTOR and
Fernand. Fernand died of exhaus-
ton following hardships he endured
during the great war, having re-
Joined the colors as an officer. Gas
ton lives in the Vosges region and
Charles died some years ago. Mad

United States history should be
specified, the teachers believe, as the
text books available contain ''such
a mass of information that is not
relevant" History should be treated
as the social environment of man.
with less stress on the dates OF
events for pupils in all elementary
classes, the recommendations add.
In view of the changes effected
by the war, the teachers submit that
there is radical change in the
relative Importance of topics which
should be reflected in the course of
study. The present course, they
point out, is overcrowded and leads
to wrong emphasis on Vocational
geography Geography should be re-
garded as the study of 'the home of
ran" and the industrial, CONNER
cial, social end economic relations
of man with man"
Regarding English, the teachers
propose that technical grammar be-
low the IA Grade should be omit
ted and the aim should be to habit
uate the children to correct struc-
turcand grammatical forms
Nature, the teachers set forth, as
studied at present in many parts of
the cit yis an artificial subject.
They recommend that regardless
of locality, nature should be taught
whenever the occasion arises in Ian
Suage, drawing, geography, science.

mar, New Geography.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Sweep-
of the citys elementary schools
for instance less technical grammar,
fewer history dates and new geo
graphy-are badly needed in the
opinion of the New York Princi-
pals Association.
Recommendation of the Associa-
ton passed at its recent annual
meeting, point out in detail why al
terations in almost every subject
of the school curriculum are urged.
1t take sthis stand on the subject
Of history
The focus should be placed cor
rectly. Our histories should be re-
viscd by reducing the detail of the
enrlier epochs, and emphasizing the
topics of more vital Importance to
modern situations"
History Supplementary
History, the recommendation
point out, should be taught to Fifth
year classes, as supplementary read
ing rather than as history. In other
grades "the study of explorers and
leaders should be limited to a small
or number of selected characters ;"
There should be no detailed
study of war, the principals assert,
only general clauses, trend of
struggle and the leaders who effect
ed the results
Elimination of the number of
Gates within a cycle also is pro-
posed, for example, sit is sufficient
to know the dates of the. beginning
and the end of the Revolutionary
War but it is not necessary to-
memorize any date within that
period"
