AN EDUCATORS TESTIMONY.
Prof. Kohs Speaks Of Private Schools
From Personal Knowledge.

S. c. Kohs, formerly professor Of
psychology in Reed College, Portland,
makes the following statement in the
public press:
II Both as educator and as psychol-
ogist, wish to raise my voice in pro-
test against the pending compulsory
public school bill. Three years ago it
was my privilege to give course of
lectures to group of parochiaf
school teachers who were taking sum-
fmer courses at st. Mary's academy in
Portland, | wish to state publicly
that I have not vet met another group
which was very much superior to this
one in their educational enthusiasm,
their regard for the childs general
mental progress and their eagerness
to acquire proficiency as result Of
modern educational advances along all
lines. This remark is based upon
comparative teaching experiences at
Clark University, New York Univer-
.sity, Stanford University, the Univer-
sity OF Oregon and the University Of
Wisconsin. 1t was a liberal educa-
ton to me, for, among other things,
learned that much of what is COM
monty heard about parochial schools
and parochial school teachers could
not be entirely true, at least not so
far as Oregon was concerned. l am
also thoroughly acquainted with two
of the largest private non-sectarian
schools in Portland and. have studied
their directors as well as their entire
teaching staff, and wish to state
publicly that their general average,
both for type of training and teaching
efficiency, is superior to the average
public schools In this country. I am
a staunch believer in democratic
American education, but am opposed
to oppressive or trepressive methods
to accomplish this result. We have
never given the practice of intelligent
supervision of private schools an ade-
quate trial in this state. Let us first
try it, and II we fail in that direction,
we then will be justified in adopting
such drastic measures as are con-.
templated in the compulsory public
school BILL,

SPIRITUAL AND CORPORAL
WORKS OF MERCY CON-
HlNED.

ST. Francis de Sales was accustomed
to say that in this single work OF
mercy, that is; praying for the de-
parted. the thirteen others are as
sembled. E4
Is it not, he said, in some manner,
TO visit the sick, to obtain by our
prayers the relief OF the poor, suffer
ing souls in purgatory?
Is it not to give drink to those who
thirst after the vision of God, and who
are enveloped in burning flames, to
share with them the dew of our
prayers?
is it not to feed the hungry, to aid
IN their deliveranee by the means
which faith suggests?
{ Is it NOT truly to ransom prisoners?
Is IL not to clothe the naked, to pro.
cure for them garment OF light, a
raiment of glory?
Islit not an, admirable degree Of. hos.
pitality, to procure their admission
into the heavenly Jerusalem. and to
make them fellow-citizens with the
saints and demestics OF Goda II
Is it not a greater service to place
souls in heaven, than to bury bodies
in the earth?
As to spirituals. is it not work
whose merit may be compared to that
ef coanse,ling the weak, correcting the
hayward, instructing the ignorant, for
giving offenses, enduring injuries?
And what consolation, however great,
that can be given to the afflicted of
this world, is comparable with that
which is brought by our prayers, to
those poor souls who have such bit
ter need Of them?

THE CHOICE or FRIENDS ANp
READING.

Your family is worth the best you
can give it. You desire for, their en-
joyment the best house, the best food.
the best clothes that you can AFFORD.
And you are very careful that they.
cultivate the right kind Of friends.
But are you just as careful about
choosing the right kind OF reading?
You should be, for reading has a
marked influence upon character, es-
peeially the reading that comes under
the eyes Of the young and Impress

NEED OF COMPREHENSIVE.

Do not undervalue human compan-
ionship. The girl who says she finds
most people boring does not realize
what nonsense. she is talking. Men
lost on the great prairies of the West
or the African yeldt generally go In
sane. not because they are afraid of
some definite peril, but because they
feel themselves alone. Companion
ship is as real a need as food and
water, and you owe more than you
know to those about you.

A young man who practiced medi-
cine in Pennsylvania became famous
and was called in consultation in
many towns and cities because OF his
success in the treatment of disease.
This was DR.. Pierce, who finally made
up his mind to place some of his medi-
cines before the public, and moving
to Buffalo, n. Y, put up what he
called his "Favorite Prescription" and
placed it with the druggists in every
state.
DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescription
has long been recognized as a tonic
for diseases peculiar to womankind.
After suffering pain, feeling nervous,
dizzy, weak and dragged-down by
weaknesses Of her sex-a woman is
quickly restored to health by its use.
Thousands Of women testify that DIR.
Pierce's F-avorite Prescription has en-

More recently that wonderful dis
cove-y Of DR.. Pierce's, called An-uric
