The prominence Of the Rhine

between less prominent people would
not command the same sort Of at

An experienced editor knows In a

and discussed by all classes of the
public, Why that is a fact remains
a problem for the psychologists,
who themselves are not backward
at glimpsing over evidences Of other

Perhaps one explanation is that
almost everyone has written more

them with the foolish epistles Of

A REASONABLE AMOUNT
OF HOME WORK

Some work for school children
should be kept to a minimum; what
that minimum happens to be is a
matter OF opinion. One opinion ex-
pressed by citizen OF national
prominence recently was that the
schools were expecting the parents
to have too large share In edu-
eating the children, when the
proper place in which TO do the cd
ucotinE is In the school room.
To he sure, TO the lot Of the
teacher falls the chief burden OF
imparttng knowledge to young
pupils, and it would be an IDEAL ar
rangrment n it we're not necessary

that Of Henry W. Bisbee, millionaire
banker, poet and popcorn raiser, of
Milwaukee, Wis.
I was called to his bedside at
what he has often referred to as
the turning point in his career He
was in prison at the time on the
charge of attempting to burglarize
his own bank. He had been discov-
cred by the night Waterman trying TO
get into the vault at 4 a. m. The
case was complicated by the fact
that he had apparently tried to
bride the Waterman.
His explanation to me was sim
picity itself. ''Traprock," he said,
