Chautauqua leads in popularity, though the school at Martha's Vineyard enjoys the dis- tinction of being the oldest and broadest in its methods, The first summer school ever founded was | that Inaugurated by the eminent naturalist, Prof. Agassiz, on Penikese Island, the neigh- | bor of Martha's Vineyard The Cheutauqu school of pedagogy last season placed in arge of the pre ent of the Teachers college of New York, Walter L. Hervey, Ph. D. He will again be its dean this season. With an able corps of assist ants, principally professors and instructors trom the Teachers college, he puts into prac- | tice the methods of teaching adopted at that Institution, the finest of its kind In exist- | ance. The Chautauqua school of pedagogy, known | as the Teachers Retreat, offers for 1895 sourses designed to meet the needs of teach- ers In elementary and secondary schools, in pormal and training schools, and of school | principles. Seven departments are open psychology and pedagogy, methods of teach- | ing English ligerature and composition, na ture study and primary methods, botany and geology, experimental science, form, drawing and color and expression In a number of the courses laboratory and feld work are included, and in all the courses | opportunity is given for definite work toward | a well defined aim. A progressive course | covering three years, supplemented by | definite reading and study to be done be- tween times with suitable tests, leads to the Chautauqua teacher's certificate. The num- | ber and variety of the courses enables the | students of the retreat to return year after year without duplicating thelr work. The observation classes are an important and interesting feature. These number as puplls the little sons and daughters of the summer cottager re taught by the re- treat professors thay the studeni teacher: fay learn the practlcal ways of applying thelr theoretical knowledge of instruction. At Martha's Vineyard the summer insti- tute offers additional inducements for the training of teachers this coming season, in- ing Instroction in all grades, from the and primary through the regu- course.

In his travels through northern Indiana he was impressed with the natural beauties of a tract of fo land on the banks of the St. Joseph ri He recognized the possi- bllitics of £o admirable a site and determined to secure it for a college. In 1830 he pur- chased 600 acres of land from the govern- ment, paying $1.25 per acre. The 600 acres purchased by Father Bodin in 1830 had been conveyed by deed to the bishop of Vincennes, who approved of the design of establishing an educational institution. In 1842 he took the initiatory step by offering the tract known as St. Mary's of the Lake to Rev. Edward Sorin, on coudition that the latter should, within a certain time, erect and maintain a bullding to serve as a college. Father Sorin, a priest of the congregation of the Holy Cross, a missionary socicty founded in France during the latter part of the last century, and six brothers of the same com: munity, had in tl.e preceding year accepted the Invitation of Bishop de la Hailandiere to establish a branch of their congregation in the diocese of Vincennes. The bishop's offer was accepted, and November 26, 1842, Father Sorin and his companions first saw the spot where they were to establish the university. At the beginning of an unusually long ana severe winter the little colony found itself in possession of the land. Notwithstanding the determination of Father at once with the erection of August, 1843, before the orin to proceed ollege, 1t was cornerstone of the first edifice laid. The next spring it was completed. The first commenczment exex cises were held in June, 1844, and during the same year the legislature of Indiana conferred upon the institutton a charter with the title and privileges of a university In April, 1879, the . university, with its treasures, was bueped 4o the ground. In | the following September, the main building, which now stands, was completed so far as was necessary for the accommodation of stu- dents. Since 1879 additjonal buildings have been constructed framtime to time. FADS IN FHE SCHOOLS. When the public .8cheols get away from the rudiments of aniEnglish education, says the Atlanta Constitwtion, the tendency is to drift to the special [farlg of certaln reform- ers, who are entershlly tinkering away at our educational system. One good thing about our old-fashiened schools was their freedom from these mew-fangled notions. Phey trained up a race of men and women whose intelligence amd culture are the crown- ing glory of Amerieanceitizenship, but they did not' study onesfdusth as many text- books as are now used in the schools. If they wanted to fiud fopt something about alcohol and tobacco they learned what they wanted to know at home. Their time in school was devoted to the elementary studles, and the teacher who paid too much atte tion to matters outside of a practical Eng- lish education was never wanted long in one place. Something will have to be done to re- duce the number of textbooks amd special studies or the schools will do the children of the poor very little good. PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS. The Tllinols legislature passed the bill pro- viding for the pensioning of Chicago teachers. The pension fund is to be raised by the moderate assessment of 1 per cent on the salaries of teachers and employes In the schools. Of course It may be swelled by contributions from outside sources. It is, however, expressly pro¥ided that no money ted frofn the city treasury The scheme is, therefore, wholly self-support{ng and is for this reason unobjectionable trom fhe standpoint of extra expense to the commupjty.

The bill provides for the retirement of its beneficiarfes on half pay, but the highest pension Is fixed at $600 per annum. The pension funds will be managed by a board of trustee the school teachers, the others will be mem. bers of the Board of Education. An im- portant provision of the bill is that no teacher or employe can be discharged with. out trial and any person discharged will be allowed to withdraw the assessments pald into the pension fund. Educational Notes. The commencement week of the University | of Pennsylvania began last Friday. Although General 0. O. Howard has de- clined the presidency of Norwich university, Northfield, Vt., he will deliver an annual course of lectures at that institution. Among _the orators for commencement week of the Missourl State university are Dr Thompson o of the Roman Catholic_university at ington, Mr. Duncan of St. Wash- Louls, a hardshell Baptist, and Dr. Angell of Michigan The catalogue of the University of Colorado for 1894-5. presents a comprehensive review of the work of that educational institution It was in mally open tendance porated in 1860 d until Septemb: during the past but was not for- 1877.

Seth Low has followed his magnificent gift to Columbla collepe with the founding of olarships to the amount of $60,000 in Barnard, an institution devoted to the higher education of women. hese scholarships are to be divided almost equally between New ork, where Barnard is situated, and Brook- Iyn, where Mr. Low resides. Philadelphia recently honured the memory of Stephen Girard, and his name has many claims to be assoclated with those of Penn and Franklin, It was the old Quaker mer- chant who led the rellef movement in the yellow fever epidemic of 1743, who advanced to the government in 1812 e $5,000,000 n essary to secure the treaty of Ghent, and who left for a college an endowment which | now amounts to $14,000,000. Mr. Mulhall, the British statistician, that 87 per cent of our popul years of age read and write, and says that “history produces no instance of a nation with 41,000,000 instructed citizens.” The de- crease of illiteracy in twenty years is an- other notable feature of our progress, 20 per cent of the population over ten years of age being illiterate in 1870, against 13 per cent in 1890. An English educationalist of _reputation proposes to Introduce into the education of young women and girls the principles of chivalry toward the male sex. He main taing that this has been entirely neglected in the teaching of girls, and while boys have been taught to pay due deference to women, the girls have not been taught that they owed any consideration to any one, either of their own or the opposite sex. The result ha been selfish and inconsiderate women who accept all chivalrous attentions from men as « right, without a thought that they owe even the courtesy of a thank-you in return, notes lon over ten the Episcopal chnreh, Dr. Keane | 1d 6 feet 6 inches long Our Secret| of Success | two of whom are to be chosen by | | | both | | whether Sale price ¢ Sule price...
