Who Is Now the Gentleman !
CNew York Herald Tribune)


 When the word gentleman" was first adapted from the French to the English speech some time in the eleventh century, it was almost exacty equivalent to "nobleman." Its use as class dls- tincton suggested neither good nor bad character nor good bad manners. The word retained much of the meaning of the Latin gentlls, a member of an ancient patrcian clan but it also implied very clearly, in age when the whole aristocracy was of warrior origin, soldlerly an cestry "Centleman" therefore came to have the technical as well the popular. meaning oi a man whose family enjoyed the right to bear arms To Photographers it still means that (among many other meanings), but when Miss Elsa Maxwell the actress undertakes in the exotic atmosphere of Cannes to define the word she proves that, to the twentieth century American gentleman" is no longer technical term and that, for her perhaps, it has lost even it's historic value.
 To illustrate her feeling that gentlemen" are now few, Miss Maxwell nominates to a colegum of the superior ones ten of her acquaintance. Some are unknown to the average American, but her inclusion of five six names that most of us are pleased to respect proves her instnctiye good judgment But when she progresses from these helpful illustrations to the elimination from the gentemanly classes of all family men for the simple reason that they work too hard to be polite of all artists and authors because they are too self-centered of all men whom women like, ana of all who dress better than their valets we suspect that she is being frivolous in defiance of her native good taste
 Contrary to much of history's testimony the private public conduct of the fighting English arstocracy between the eleventh and the fourteenth centuries, had been such that the word gentle therefore being a rating by brth) had come to be colloquially suggestive of generosity mercy good manners and kindness. It meant, in the stormy year l397 "docility In the early seventeenth cen- tury years before the sailing of the Mayfower, 1t said with strong popular approval that the gentleman by birth must honor his clan by being manly, generous good-mannered and kind if he were lawfully to glory in his title" This is the idea that crossed the Western Ocean with the Brooches Bibles.
 Colonial America learned eventually to hold in contempt the qualification of gentle birth It took to heart and cherished the phrase nature s gentleman" interpreting it to mean man so endowed with the courage of the medieval fighting aristocracy that he scorned to be mean and churl- ish. That continues to be, in the back Of the average Americans mind, the best possible defini- ton of the word gentleman in democracy. Ir the native American mind this term certainly does not seem to exclude the paterfamas, who works toe hard for his clan to be sudiously and superfically elegant. Nor does it rule out of consideration tho various kinds of men whom women favor-does iti We think not

1885, will be of interest to many in
this community who knew Major
Carl A. Russell. AS a boy he spent
his vacations with his grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Nor
ris, in Raymond Township. He is
a nephew Of Anabel and Alice Nor
ris of this city, who are very
proud Of his record and advance
ment to the United States War
College. The article follows:
Major Carl A. Russell, conf
mandant Of the Coe r. o. T. c..
received word Saturday Of his ap-
pointment to the United States
War College in Washington. Major
Russell will finish the school year
at Coe, and will probably go TO
Washington in August. He has been
at Coe since July s, 1881.

among military men as a highly
coveted one. The students az the
college study high command and

pointed to staff positions after
completion Of the one year course.
Only eighty-seven Officers out OF

position yearly.

Miss Leilah Beck, Teacher of
Fourth Grade, Explains
Study

With the growth Of general
science as q junior high school sub
ject, the interest of the iayman in
the contributions OF science, and
the realization that science Is one
Of the great factors In our con-
temporary civilization, IL no longer
seems wise to deny younger chill
dren the educative values that
science has to offer them.
The present trend In curriculum
making recommends that there be
no break between elementary and
secondary school. Therefore our
science program now begins with
kindergarten and continues every
year through the grades and jun
Tor high school. Nature study as a
separate study Is usually taught In
the primary grades. In the inter
mediate grades nature study Is US
ually taught as a part Of another
subject such as geography.
Mature study and science are es-
sentially one subject True nature
study Is natural science and Its
methods are truly scientific. Al
though nature study in the past
has been emphasized mature" in
live or growing stage, there Is now
a tendency to look upon inanimate
nature as being Of as much signi-
ficance and interest to children as
animate study. Therefore science
In the grades now includes, be-
sides a study Of plants and animals,
the study Of the earth. including
the things Of which II In made; the
