Up in the Bronx River, just as 1t
enters the city, stands statue that
would appear to be the guard to the
metropolis or something of the sort.
It's a soldier in the uniform of 81,
leaning on his rifle, and it is standing
on rough granite shaft, hardly thick
/ er through than the figure. 1t took me
four days of questioning before |
found anyone in this whole New York
who could tell me the what and the
wherefore of this lone infantryman. 1t
seems that it was scluped by man
whose father was a private in the Sew
enth Regiment durin gthe Civil War
and who himself was more of patriot
than artist. He presented it to the
Regiment, but their art censor "sin-
cerely regretted etc. And then said
the sculptor, "This statue is going to
stand, regardless Of art and its con-
sors or the whole Seventh regiment"
So out he went to the upper waters of
Bronx Park, stuck his granite shaft
into the bottom of the river square in
the middle Of the stream and placed
his statue firmly upon it. When you
yet over your surprise and wonder at
it, there's something rather impressive
gained from its location.

Not the Students s Fault.

"THEN Edison turns his guns loose college
w graduates, it means something After test
ing 600 young men, he says: They do not seem to
know anything. Take man of II so, and if he
is intelligent he do anything" But he re-
ferred to those WHO were not college men. Yet Mr..
Edisons indictment is not of the college graduates,
but of the colleges. 1t is of the system of educa-
tion and not Of its unfortunate victims.
These young men who passed through "the
wizards" hands did not lack brains; they had not
been trained to them. They did not lack intell-
gence; they merely had not been taught to apply it.
He said: "The connection between their senses and
minds is atrophed." If so, it is because they did
not know how to express their mental action
through their hands. They had not been taught
to demonstrate what had been pumped into their
mental reservoirs
Theirs has been the DID, old cistern process,
not Of education, but learning They learn lot, but
have not learned to it. They have endless in
formation Of all Sorts with ability to assemble
the related parts of and to apply this the mme
diate problem. They do not lack in scholarship;
but wholly lack in Transforming theories into con-
ditionS.
The trouble with many schools is that they
belong to the age that is past The graduates under
the modern system would not disappont Mr.. Edi-
son. But it may be surprising yet it is natural that
these modern methods found in far greater per-
fection and general application in the elementary
schools than in colleges The colleges still tend to
dissipate the ability to correate information and
express it through the Senses which is acquired in
the lower schools
1t is the colleges which strophy the connee-
ton, if this is done. 1t is result sometimes par
alleled in kindergartens and primary grades where
the concentration born every child and quite in
variably found in babyhood, is dssipated by the
1;obt of

is too sweeping, yet it is valuable and coming
from him, must arrest attention and may get re-
suits.

EXPLAINS PISTON RINGS TO
AUToMoTTNE ENGINEERS.

The principles that underly the
proper design and use OF piston
rings for engines were explained
to Washington aUtomotive engi-
neers by H. H PlatL chief engineer
of the Wilkening Manufacturing
Company. at their meeting held last
night at the Cosmos Club.
"All leakage OF gas and oil past
piston rings can not be eliminated,
even by the use OF good piston
rings" he declared, in stating that
. per cent loss at 200 revolutions
per minute was considered TO be
very low.
There are three ways in whicn
the rings leak. Through the gaps,
around the back of the rings and
past The face.
Complicated gap joints are not
necessary. he declared. OF the sim
pier joints. the diagonal type are
superior to the lap type. expert
ments have shown. he said. Ac-
curate machining of the groove and
the ring will prevent excessive
losses around the back Of the rings.

and piston is held in place by capil- :
