T read that a man by the name of Bab- S0n gave as the reason, for present priccs of provisions, first, thit there was teo much gold produced. If I had been one of the audience after he sald that I should have walked out. That is something like some of Mr. Bryan's vaporings. 1 bought 100 steers and gave my check for the amount, and the man from whom I bought the steers deposited the check and got credit in the bank for $,00. The steers went into the yard and I pald for feed with checks, and the people to whom I gave the checks deposited them and paid their debts with the money. I sent the cattle to market and received a draft for my money. which 1 deposited, getting eredit at the bank for the amount. In the whole transaction there was not a dollar of cash used. Gold is a good thing for basic money and the more the better. Mr. Babson's second reason is the same old song, that the farmers are leaving thelr tarms and golng to the city, where they are not needed. They may g0 to the city, but If the people in the city are no further advanced than our financial and business expert, 1 think the city needs a few of our farmers to introduce ideas, When the farmers do §o to the city they leave no land unoccupled. One man can do as much work on @ farm now as three could do in former years, and do It better, 0 we have men to spare except at harvest time. Mr. Babson also says the people consume too many luxuries and kicks because the pockets of the people? He predicts a panic by 1912, He has surely been camping with My, Bryan, who. predicts calamity right along, and all the time business improves. I predict we will not have a pardic.

BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS, A Critie’'s Suggestions for Thelr Improvement. I¢eal public schools are” not lkely to arrive much before the millentum, but that & great deal can be done to Improve them is polnted out by Joseph M. Rogers in Lippincott’s Magazine. A few of his idens ere compressed in these sentences: It Is not meant that the present system should be wholly abandoned, and a return mide to earlier conditions. But it Is cer- tain that if the three R's were restored to thelr former Importance many fads and fancles would be given up as fads and fancles in actual courses of Study and re- placed more profitably in other ways. Take, for Instance, physlology, upon which much stress is lald In these days, It Is an important subject, concerring which every child should have some fundamental in- struction, but it is not neccssary to spend yeors In studying it from toxt book! An fllustrated lecture of half an hour each week by a competent physiclan would be of far more value than the books now studled. Tt seems a fact that the children galn littie practical benefit from this study at present. Then there Is physical geo- graphy, which s made to include the ele- ments of geology, astronomy and zoology. I have never yet found the boy who did not consider this study a bore. He flound- ers through the book, learning some special thing without getting a grasp of the whole subject, and usually is more mysti- fied than enlightened by many of the statements. Here Is a case where a simple text book would be sufficient If supple- mented by a course of illustrated lectures, which children would certainly enjoy and from which they would derive permanent benetit. In these days great stress Is lald upon what s called English, which Includes grammar, composition, literature, etc. A few atthors are_chosen, and children pore over these, commit some pleces to memory, and atalyse them until they are tired out and Qisgustéd. 1 speak from experience and wide observation. How many school chil- dren have ever heard a great plece of litera- ture properly read? I was 4 years old be- fore any such thing ceme Into my life, and I had unusual advantages in this respect, If there were a dozen lecturers visiting each echool, occasionally making use of moving pietures and lantern slides or of other fllustrative materfal, I feel sure that children would not only be greatly inter- ested, but that they would have things im- pressed on their minds In more definite fashion, It for each of these lectures there were furnished to the pupils & brief printed syllabus, the subject matter could be more tirmly jmpressed and the lessons forever remembered. And what seems probable s that the children would be the means through them of giving their parents a §00d. deal of information.

The average man or woman would not do this; why should children be vompelled or expected to do go? There 18 & tremendous amount of physical energy in a child, and it needs an outlet. Of course this means that classes must be smaller, but that must come In.any event. 1t also means that we must inject into edu- cation, aside from those things which make for mere mental discipline, the elements of {interest and profit. If the boy is learning !something that is to be of practical use to him heréafter—I mean something which he can readily see is to be of immediate ad- vantago—he wiil take more interest in his studies. In a few Instances the girls now have sewing and cooking schools. They (ought—every one of them—to have a thor- |ough training in domestic economy. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, Student Court and Unifed Forestry Experts. The first university in the country to es- tablish a system of student self-government in all matters of discipline is the University of Wisconsin. The faculty and regents have just granted the request of the stu- dents for a court of thelr own to try all violations of university rules and to fix their own penalties. ,As a result of the new system the stu- dents take the entire responsibility for maintaining good order on all occasions, and the court will enforce all student, faculty and regent rules. When a student has been tried and sentenced by the court the faculty will execute the sentence. In case the student is dissatistied with the court declsion, he may appeal to the fac- ulty, -which, In turn, may either dismiss the appeal or remand the case to the court for a rehearing.
