REFORN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Movewent in Favor of Reducing the Num- ber of Text Books, POOR BUILDINGS A MENACE TO HEALTH The Teachers' Penslon Law in 11 nois—Intercsting Facts Comecrn- | ing the Schools of Germany and K Jnpan—Educationnl Notew The agitation In favor of a reduction of the use of textbooks In the public schools 18 spreading in various sections of the country, and it fs likely to bring about what educa- tors consider a most desirable reform. One of the chiet advocates of reduced textbooks is Dr. J. M. Rice, who has made an extended examination of the public schools of the cour try and published his conclusions in the magazines. The aim of progressive teachers, he holds, should bo to ald the pupil in build- ing a solid and permanent mental structure, consisting of fundamental fdeas based upoin concreto facts, which shall ever remain fresh and active, forming a fund of ready knowl- edge. What they desire to secure in the pupil is knowledge “which in itself is stimu- lating and will create a many-sided interest in_the affairs of life. T, construct such a mental fabric, says the Chicago Post, it is nccessary to bring the ideas. to the notice of the pupil in psycho- logical order. In the texthooks the facts are not arranged in such order, but merely in a logical degree, and they are presented in too rapid succession. They contain on a single page sufficient mental food for many lessons. Facts committed to memory in rapid su cession serve no permanent purpose, because they are not digested, and consequently do not become an organic part of the individual In our echools it is rare, he holds, to find recitations that may be regarded in the light of instruction. In the thought studies, where scientific teaching is particularly required, the mechanical teachers attempt to do little, if anything, bevond hearing the pupils recite thelr lessons. True instruction will not be obtained until the teacher is substituted for the textbook, as it is only then the principles of teaching can be properly applied. Abolition of the textbooks will not of itself be sufficient to secure scientific teaching. It will be only the first step toward placing the teaching on a sclentific foundation. So long as the American standard remains so low that a graduate of a district school, without further preparation, is eligible for member- 8hip in the profession a license to teach can- not command any speclal respect. In Ger- many, according to Dr. Rice, the word “‘teacher” stands for something. In this country it stands for nothing. The demand for good teachers is very small. The man- agement of the school system is a purely local affair, asserts this authority, who fs not unknown In Chicago, and is entirely at the mercy of local politicians, who can raise or lower the standard at their pleasure. What is needed, he thinks, Is an increase of pro- fessional strength among our teachers or the ability to apply expert knowledge in practice, UNSANITARY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. It one question should be of surpassing in- terest to every parent, writes Dr. Douglas H. Stewart in the Forum, that question should be the public schools, for two reasons: (1) because the children attending are the children of the people; (2) the schools are making the citizens of the future, and the Influences of the building on the physique, and of the teacher on the mind, are apt to be under- estimated. We rely too much on home training. Important as this is, it must be borne in mind that many of our city chil- dren have no home life whatever, and others would be better without such as they have. Taken et its best the home chiefly teaches the private conduct of the parents, but the school gives the young child’s mind its first experience of the dealing of the individual with masses, which we adults call citizen- ship. The ¢hild may be monarch in some homes. In the school he finds himself a subject with very serious responsibilities. Though this fundamental change may be go- ing on all about us, though future characters are being made or marred by thousands every day, though the next genera- tion are belig made near-sighted, deaf, crooked and hysterical, and though they are compelled to inflate their lungs with a germ-laden atmosphere redolent with emana- tlons from soiled clothing, stables and un- sanitary plumbing—yet the absence of in- terested and protesting spectators is solemnly fmpressive. TEACHERS' PENSIONS IN ILLINOIS. ‘While the measure providing for a system of pensions for teachers who had served twenty-five years was pending in the Illi- nols legislature the parties in interest were practically unanimous in favor of it. Now that the measure is an operative law con- slderable dissatisfaction is expressed among teachers, especlally those drawing high sal- arles. A teacher who draws $45 a month will have no serious objections to contributing 45 cents to the pension fund. The objection is urged that while the fund is created by deducting a uniform percentage from all salaries, the beneflts to accrue are not as equitably distributed. The highest pension that can be pald to any teacher is $600, although the law provides that any woman who lias taught twenty vears, and any man who has taught twenty-five years may receive an annuity of half the salary received while in active service. This clearly gives the $1,200 teacher a declded advantage over the §2,500 teacher when it comes to pensions. As the law makes the creation and dis- bursement of the fund mandatory, but does not provide any other means than the 1 per cent contribution of teachers for raising the fund, many legal authorities do not hesi- tate to aver that it will not stand the test ©of the higher courts. SCHOOLS IN GERMANY. The primary government schools of Ger- many are fice, as well as compulsory, says a writer in the Chautauguan. Nor is com- pulsion a dead letter. Children must attend school between the ages of 6 and 14 years. The bright pupils who complete the specified work before the rest are not allowed to leave before the age of 14 unless they intend to enter a higher school. Children between the ages of 6 and 12 attend school during the forenoon only, but thelr forenoon s equal to our school day, as school begins at 7 and ends at 1. At'the end of every two hours the pupils have an intermission of fifteen minutes. Twice during the week they are allowed an‘ hour's intermlssion. Scholars above the age of 12 return to school at 2 o'clock and study until 4, Germany, though the birthplace of the kindergarten, has no free kindergartens nor infant schools such as are provided in Eng- land and which are yearly attended by be- tween 600,000 and 600,000 children under & years of age. Boys and girls study the same subjects, but in separate buildings. German methods of teaching are admirable and the children seem very enthusiastic. In one class room a young inan was teaching geography to fifty or sixty girls from 11 to 14 years of age. A large map hung on the wall; the subject for the lesson that day was rivers, In answer to each of the teacher's questions a forest of girls' arms, bare to the shoulder, went up and each eager, intelligent face seemed ready with an answer. The same enthuslasm was exhibited in the history class, The teacher, stepping down from her plat- form, began with her pupils a resume of German history, asking whence came their ancestors, what were their mental and phy- 1 characteristics, by what peoples they had been conquered amnd whom they had conquered. After each question up sprang the long bare arms and each girl seemed more desirous to answer than her neighbor. But when the question was put: “Which is the best land?’ all answered together with emphas “‘Deutschland.” The government report for 1891 shows 1,896 mi teachers with an average salary of 2,325 marks per annum (a mark is about 25 cents). The number of women teachers was 945, with an average ary of 1,462 marks. Bome male teachers receive as high as 3,000 marks per year. ‘WHY NOT TEACH SHORTHAND? The Sclentific American suggested lately that the thing to do was to teach the boys and girls shorthand as well as longhand. Why not? If this age is not a fast one, no one ever was, Men travel fast, think fast, talk fast. hand writing has its advantages, but they are for imall class. The great ma. jority of letters could be written in short- Just as many are now taken down from dictation by shorthand writers, if only thoy ecould be read -in shorthand, The adsption of a uniform system would make tiie reading of thorthand lettegs as easy as that of at least tome of the longhand letters and there would be a great saving of time. Typewriters have abridged \he work for many and thero would Le a still further sav- ing ot tine by the genral use ok a common system of phonography. EDUCATION IN JAPAN, The most fnteresting Institutions in Japan are the echools, says a correspondent of the Chicago Record. No country, not even Ger- many or the United States, has a better edu- cational system in theory, although there are many defects apparent to the forelgner t are due to Inexperience. There are now 25,404 public schools, with 67,088 toachiers, of whom 62,410 are men and 4,- 2S are women, The number of pupile in & tendance Is 3,260,313, of whom 2,302,549 are boys and 678,746 girls, which is a rather large school attendance for a population of 41,000,- 000, Thers are forty-seven normal schools, cighty-nine scientific schools, twenty-seven high-class colleges for the education of young women, onc military academy, one naval academy, one academy of music, one school of commerce, one techuological institute, of which Mr. Tefima, who was a commissioner to the World's falr, is principal, with 202 students, and a school of fine arts, with 214 students, In addition to these there are fifty-two commercial colleges, eight schools for teaching telegraphy, eleven agricultural colleges, nine law chools with 6.259 pupil six schools of medicine, with 7 pupils, three veterinary schools, with ninety pupils, eleven {nstitutions for teaching mathematics, engineering and the practical sciences, with 987 pupils, and nine private art schools, with 951 puplls. There are also 102 epecial schools for teaching English, four for French, ten for German ond one for Russian, seventy-four institutions for teaching penmanship and 167 for the training of nurses and midwives. The government maintains two special schools for the education of young princes and_princesses and the sons and daughters of the nobles. Tha hoys' school Is under the speclal patronage of the emperor and the girls' school under that of the empress. The former has 117 pupils and the latter 381, There are fnétitutions for the education of the deaf and dumb, the blind, the idiotic and very many private schools and academies for varlous purposes. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. There are 87,212 children of school age in Cincinnati and only 36,425, or much less than one-half, are in the public schools. Some 14,700 are attending church schools and 2,047 private -schools. The rest, num- bering no less than 33,900, are attending no school. A movement s on foot to introduce in the Canadian public schools regular inspec- tions by experts of the teeth of all pupile. In England one man out of each 500 gets a coliege education; in America, one out ot €ach 200, Prof. Maurice Francls Egan of Notre Dame university has accept:d a professorship in the Catholic university at Washington. Prof. James A. Harrison of Washirgton and Lee university, where he has held for several years the chair of modern languages, has been appointed professor of the romince languages and literature at the University of Virginia, the leading educational institution at_the south. It is only forty-seven years since the first school house was built in California, yet now the annual expenditure for public schools is nearly $6,000,000, and 6,500 teachers are employed in instructing 240,000 pupils. These teachers are paid more liberally than in any other state, and they rank high in efficiency. In Berlin alone there are nearly 400 Ameri- can students, 189 of them on the rolis of the university, and in other university towns of the empire the percentage of Ameriean students is so large as to excite the co ment of the local press. For the first time in the history of Carada the degrees ot M. D. and C. M. were con- ferred upon a woman by the annual convo: cation of the medical faculty of Bishop's college, Montreal, recently. The Canadian young ‘woman so highly distinguished from her sisters s Miss Regina Lewls of London, Ontario. Mile. Jeanne Benaben is a young biue. stocking of whose extraordinary attainments all France is talking. This exceedingly scholarly young woman received the college degrea of bachelor of arts two years £go, when ehe was 16, She then becaine profes- sor of philosophy in a women's ollege at Lyons, and this year she was a candidate at the Sorbonne for the important degree of licentiate in philosophy. The examiners were prepared for a prodigy, but were never- theless amazed at the extent of her etudition and her serene composure in dealing with the vexed problems of Descartes, Kant and Comte. She was third on a list of 200 can- didates, all of them older than herself, ard 1s now a lecturer on the science of the mind in the College of Rouen. School Notes and Personalw. The Misses Littlefield sought the lantic coast. There are but four new voluntary assist- ants in kindergartens, Miss Ogden of the High school will not return to her duties for two weeks. There is a pond of foul, stagnant water within half a block of Castellar school. Cora Smith Anderson, once of the Lincoln corps, 19 the happy mother of a wee daugh- ter. Superintendent Pearse has already visited Saratoga, Fort Omaha and other northern regions. Miss Fitch of Leavenworth spent some tima in the Colorado summer scheol of methods. Miss Smith, for several years director of Mason kindergarten, has accepted a position at Lomonauk, IIl. Miss Fair of the Mason training school was detained from her duties until Friday by sickness in her family. Miss Bess F. Skinner, one of the new mem- bers of the corps, is located with a fourth grade at Lothrop school. Miss Anna Witman, for several years an efficlent member of the Mason corps, has accepted a position in Santa Monica, Cal. Dupont is full and overflowing. The high- est room In Central Park and the lowest room in Windsor each contains five classes. Miss Jourdan, director of the Leavenworth kindergarten, has just been tendered an ex- cellent position in the Minnesota State Nor- mal school. Leavenworth school is as fresh as a rose. The walls are newly painted a delicate, de- sirable tint, which combines well with the gray-green of the woodwork. Ten of last year's training school graduates have been assigned to places in the grades. So far this year there are thirty-two students in Mrs. Sudborough’s charge. Miss Whitmore, the new kindergartener, 1s located at the Castellar. She is a graduate of Mrs. Wheelock's training school in Bos- ton. Her work last year was in Lincoln. Miss Nelle Bennett, Miss Lily M. Bruner of Castellar, Mrs. Perine Central, Miss Decia Johnson, Miss O'Key and Miss Roys of the High school, spent nine weeks of the vaca- tion at the University of Chicago. Miss McCarthy of Pacific, Miss Graff of Dodge, Miss Alter of Castellar, Miss Part- ridge of Central Park, Miss Ballantyne of Walnut Hill and Mrs. Roudebush of the High school were numbered among visitors to the east. Miss Butterfield of Dupont, Miss Robinson of Fort Omaha, Miss Milroy of Dodge, Miss Fitch of Leavenworth, Miss Hobbs of Clit- ton Hill and Mrs. Sudborough are to be added to the list of those who made a va- cation visit to picturesque Colorado. The High school corps of last year is dl- minished by the resignations of Miss Duval and Mr. McCarthy. Misses Wedgwood, Adams, Wallace, Towne, Green, Mrs. Roude- bush and Messrs. Wilson and Woolery are added to the forcs. The attendance is much larger than last year. Miss Evans, cupervisor of drawing, will probably not return from Europe for several weeks yet. It i3 stated that while traveling upon the contizent her letters falled to reach her, thus she did not learn promptly of the board’s action in re-electing her, Hence she prolonged her travel The world surely moves, since the proper ones have at last learned that itis nota part of the preordained plan that schoolrooms should present staring surfaces of black and white. All of the newer bulldings have some rellet in the way of restful browns or olives. The effect of 5o simple an fnnovation is almost remarkable, Miss Duval, last year of the High school, has wedded Prof. Wilcox, recently of the Chlcago university, but now of the faculty of the Iowa State university at lowa City. Miss Beedle of Comenius became Mrs, Tis- Carney of Comenlus is Mrs. McRoberts of Columbian s now known as Mrs, Cochran. Miss De Graff, oue At- of last year's training school graduates, I8 enjoying a wedding journey in Europe. She 1s the wife of Rev. Johnson of the First Congregational church of Leadville, Miss Bessie Leighty of Omaha View Is also a de- serter.. Superintendent Pearse has wiped out the first_chapter of the new course of study by the flat that First A reading is to be by a phonic method. It is rumored that he took the step because he became convinced that the majority of teachers in that grade were more proficlent in handling that method and more in sympathy with it. Some prominent teachers rejoice. Others equally prominent do not.

After having constituted a subject for never-ending discussion for a period of some thirty years, the great tunnel beneath the Simplon is about to become an accomplished fact. It offers some striking illustrations of the progress made in this branch of en. gineering since the achievement of those other Alpine tunnels, the Mont Cenis, the St. Gothard and the Vorarlberg. In this case there are to be two tunnels, side by side, seventeen yards apart, and cohnected by transverse galleries at every 200 yards throughout their whole length of thirteen miles, which is three miles longer than the St. Gothard, hitherto the longest in the world, One of these tunnels is not to be completed till the trafic demands it, ana fs to serve for the present chiefly as a means of ventilation, as otherwise work in the second tunnel would be impossible, owing to the height of the temperature. ————— Income Tax in England. No fewer than sixty-six persons in Great Britain are shown by the Income tax re- ports just published in London to enjoy an- nual incomes of over $300,000. There are nearly two thousand more whose incomes range all the way from that figure down to $50,000 a year, while those possessing from $25,000 to $50,000 a year exceed 3,000 in num- ber. Some 5,000 people are taxed on $10,000 to $15,000 per annum, and nearly 15,000 citi- zens make return of incomes ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. When it is borne in mind that the tendency to rate one's income for revenue purposes at the lowest possible figure 1s almost universal, and that even the most upright and patriotic of cltizens think it fair game to “‘do" the tax collector, it must be admitted that the showing of the report is eminently satisfactory to Great Britain, 2 -— Sociologleal.

So that settles your notion right from the start, GAINS IN FORCE EACH WEER o Public Confidende “in Business Revival Shows Steady Growth, NEAR FUTURE HOLDS ONLY PROSPERITY Settled Conviction in the Popular Mind that Material Interests Will Solve the Complicated Finan« clal Dificulties, EW YORK, Sept. 8.—Henry Clews, head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co., writes of the situation in Wall street: The course of the financial markets is Indicative of a steady growth of public trust, Bach succeeding week the wave of confidence galns increased force and is steadily carrying before it all the obstruc- tions of distrust. It is more and more recognized that the elements which are making for improvement stand assoclated with natural forces, while those which have been unsettling confidence have been con- nected with the mere Instruments of com- merce, It still remains a question whether the latter factors—especially the condition of the treasury and the sflver agitation— can materially obstruct the great natural recuperative forces that are now asserting their influence from one end of the country to the other and through the entire range of our industry. Perhaps the best answer to this question is in the fact that, for the last six months, the recuperative forces have been steadily gaining ascendancy over those tending to derangement and distrusf A more positive argument for confids than this fact affords could hardly be n- ceived. It implies a settled conviction in the public mind that, with a sound condition of the material inferests of the country, the way will ere long be found for removing the fi 1 and monetary conditions that now stand in the way to absolute confi- dence. And that conviction Is a rational one. For although it may not be, at this moment, generally apparent exactly when or how ' these fing derangements will be readjusted, y is nothing like an impossibility or even 8 stantial difficulty in the way of that achievement. 'The gold question is beset by no such serious diffi- culty as a substantial deficiency of supply; the trouble there lies simply in a departure from the usual distribution and reservoirs and circulation and use of the metal. That disarrangement has arisen from no uncon- trollable cause, but simply from a mistaken course in the fiscal usages of the treasury which had the effect of depriving the banks of their customary receipts of gold from the government at the clearing house, thereby compelling them to almost entirely suspend gold payments and throwing the whole gold movement into suspension, to the detriment chiefly of the treasury itself. This confusion is susceptible of remedy the moment the treasury and the banks can be brought into conference, with a view to the restoration of their old relations i this matter, with such modifications or safe- guards as under the circumstances may appear advisable. In the meantime, the loan syndicate continues its valuable serv- ices to the government by supplying the treasury with gold as fast as it Is taken from the reserve for export, and having persisted in that cou to the extent they already have, it scems safe to assume that they will continue this support until the forelgn exchanges have turned in our favor. That stage in affairs being reached, new possibilities will appear, favorable to the sgndicate crowning its remedial work by bringing the banks and the treasury to an understanding that will_finally settle this embarrassing question. Judging from ordi- nary precedent, the current exports of gold may be expected to be foilowed, within a maoderate period, by imports of spec Ar- guing from the way In which the syndicate has been able to control the exports of gold and the foreign exchanges for months past, it is reasonable to assume that, if it were desirable in order to achleve an important purpose, they could, under the present plethora of zold in 'the Furopean banks, swell the reflux of 1t to this side of the At Iantic. The result of these movements would appear in a material increase of the stock of gold at this center. This replenish- ment of the specie in the city banks would remove the chief practical objection they have felt to a resamption of their former relations with the treasury. My Informa- tion leads me to look forward to this ap- proaching situation as the point at which the banks will return to the payment of customs duties chiefly in gold and to pro- viding gold for export, the treasury at the same time settling its balanc at the clear- ing house in gold, while the ndicate will retire from its services, leaving the circula- tion of gold restored to'its normal condition. The gold question having been thus set- tled, there need be little further fear about the silver agitation. The treasury reserve having been again placed upon a safe foundation, the consequent recovery of con- fidence at home and abroad will produce a revival of business and, a rise In all values, which will annihilate the pretense that the depression of business and the fall in prices have been caused by the “demonetization of silver,” and the free coinage of that metal will be relegated to the dead Issues of popular ignorance. WOOL TRADE QUITE SATISFACTORY. Market Unusually Active and Prices Held Steady. BOSTON, Sept. 8.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the wool trade: While a few of the markets have not ag- gregated the usual weekly sales, doubtless due to the holiday Intervening, others have shown a marked increase. Prices are steady all around, and the market has manifested noticeable ‘activity in the matter of fine No 1 and washed wools, ‘There s still a ditfec- cnce in the ideas of both buyer and seller, as o prices, but on the whole few sales have been made through concessions on the part of the holder, except in a few in- stances where some ‘weak holder has shaded prices. Values, on the contrary, are firm, while the general prosperity in” America i3 improving. Trade In clothing 1s expected to be of much larger proportions than in two pre- ceding fall and winter seasons. Clothiers have prepared for this by making larger purchases on low and medium goods. The uggregate sales of the markets in Boston, New York and Philadelphia —are 5,475,500 pounds, against 4,115,100 pounds for the corresponding period a year ago. ‘At New_York the sales amount to 950,000 pounds. Wool is quite strongly held, 'al- though some agents are sald to be a little more desirous of selling than they were a few weeks ago. With the beginning of September a better business is generally looked for, as it 18 belleved that the manu- facturers will soon have to come into the market. A number of sample bales are also out, the outcome of which is awaited with some Interest. The sales of the week In Boston amount to 3,101,000 pounds. The market is more active in fine No. 1 washed, with a fair de- mand for X and above wools. The sales in this market for the past six weeks, de- spite the quiet surface aspect which it has presented, have averaged about 3,000,000 bounds; the fact is that it s a market' of Vast scope, and @ considerable number of small to moderate transactions In various parts of the field will result in a good sized total In Philadelphia 1,204500 pounds of wool were sold this week. In general the market for domestic wools has continued qulet, al- though there are some instances where large houses ha made \'l'l‘f’ fair sales of terri- tory wool to local mills, There is also a slight fmprovement in the aggregate sales for the week, and Duyers are making more inquiry for woM! Their offers are largely below ' the ideas of the sellers. In_several instances % cent per pound stood between them, and. while . gome weak holder, no doubf, has been found who will occasionally shade prices, the dealers gencrally are firm in thelr ideas of value on most wool, as they find forelgn ‘wools of similar grades as domestic continue to advance In price, while the general prosperity of America i$ iraproving. Sales In Chicago aggregate 450,000 pounds. The market has-been rather quiet. ' While cholce wools in this market are held com- paratively firm, fered, still the only ' weakness) ih nd no concesslons are of- qre exceptions, but the ‘lh(s market today s amgng the hoyses®mentioned that cannot wait for busiless to take its legitimate course, The outlgok taken from a general rt;\'h-w of the market appears very prom- sing. The market in St. Louis as a rule is very unsatisfactory, but those who did the busi- ness this week are not complaining, as prices were all right, even though cloe in some instances. Business at Manchester Encouraging. MANCHESTER, Sept. 8.—Business was tairly active this week, but was equal to recent averages of production. China orders are now difficult to place, owing to the long delay required. The Indian inquiry is now increasing and the rising of exchange has made the placing of falr quantities pos- sible. South America is doing fairly .well and the smaller miscellancous markets are quiet, with a regular demand. The home trade is regular, with London houses the best buyers. Yarns are a sixteenth to an elghth dearer, with a moderate demand Germany shows @ falr business, but home users buy sparingly. Spinners are hopeful Continental spinners report a strong and active demand that can only be satisfied if a very large delivery is granted. Prices re remunerative In France, Germany and Austria, The English trade returns for August show a large decrease In the ex- ports to India and a large ncrease to China and also to all the American markets ex- cept Brazil, CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS, Features of the Trading and Closing Prices on Saturday.
