Tsaac Herschel, Caroline’s father, was bandmaster of the royal regiment of Han over, a musician of considerable ability, who carefully educated hi sons and would have extended the same privilege to his aughter had he not been so bitterly op- posed in this by his wife. Frau Herschel adhered with even more than the usual | Teutonic tenacity to the theory that a girl | should have nomore education than would | enable her to become a competent family | drudge who could minister to the men of the household.

Lt | | \ | \ | | | The announced intention of the Board of Education to add cooking, sewing and carpentering in the curriculum of the School Department meets with the un- qualified indorsement of Superintendent Webster, who expresses himself also as | being heartily in favor of establishing a eystem of manual training in the schools for the benefit of all the pupils. Superintendent Webster will recommend | i nhis next report to the board that fa- cilities for the physical improvement of gup!ls be established in the new school ouses which are to be built with moneys | raised on the bonds to be issued for that purpose. He will advocate the installa- where | boxing lessons and other athlefic exer- | cises may be taught by competent in- structors. He will also recommend that swimming tanks be built in connection | with the school houses where pupils may | | 1 | | | | | studies, over which there has perfect themselves in the art of swim- ming, which he regards as condugive to good 'health. “The great trouble In the education of children,” said Mr. Webster, “is that we devote too little time to their physical im- grovemen!. The very reason why chil- ren are unable to cope with their home been so much controversy, is because they are not physically constituted by_proper and judicious exercise to do so. Let us have | athletic instruction and they will be bet- | ter fit for mental labor, for both go hand in hand. There can be no obiection to | teaching sewing and some of the manual | trades in connection with other studies, Some parents have opposed the study of | cooking in schools, but they are in’the minority."

Her reading, writing, the rudiments of music and an occasional lesson on the vio- lin she learned from her father when her mother was away or in an unusually good humor. The fact that Caroline Herschel gained what little education she possessed under such discouraging circumstances, oftentimes when worn out with her duties as the Cinderella of the family, shows that she must have possessed a naturally | good mind and great versatility, as well as great perseverance. England was at this time under the rule of the Hanoverian Kings, and the Her- schel boys journeyed thither as members of the band of which their father was master. These professional visits ended in Willlam Herschel's establishing himseif as organist and music master at Bath. This was a severe blow to the little Caroline, | who found the tedium of household duties almost insufferable without the compan- fonship of her idol and hero, whom she frankly called her ‘‘dearest brother.” Upon his return, five years later, Caroline was in a tremor of anticipation and more than ever begrudged the daily routine which deprived her of so much of this visit. Shortly after William's return to Bath, where he followed the trade of musician merely to obtain the means of studying | his beloved astronomy, his father died. leaving the family in greatly straitened circumstances. For the next five years mother and daughter slaved to keep the oldest_brother, Jacob, in his former lux- ury. Then William bethought himself to secure the valuable services of his young- sister, and sent for her to join him in England. er training in Germany formed an ex- cellent basis for her self-effacement in | England. Here the work was quite as heavy, but varied by scientific tasks in which ‘she proved an apt apprentice. This apprenticeship was sweetened by her brother's approbation and the increasing consclousness tkat she could give him more invaluable help than any one else in | the world. At William’s bidding she first took up | music. developing a remarkable talent for singing, which would have justified her career as a prima donna had she not at her greatest proficiency been obliged to stifle all longings for individuality and | identify herself still more intimately with ecialty. When not em- ployed in seconding his inventions or in- defatigably polishing the mirrors for hig great telescopes, she copled the scores “The Messiah” and *“Judas Maccabeu nto parts for an orchestra of nearly 100 pieces, drilled the singers for the Lenten oratorios in which she was the soloist and sang frequently in concert. She was in- to take part in the Birmingham fes- tival, but declined to sing publicly where her brother was not the conductor. Her last public appearance was In 1782 in an anthem composed by Willlam Herschel. She combined music with housekeéping and science solely that she might eke out | her brother's earnings and lift him out of the bread-winning stage into the realm of pure science. It was therefore a keen dis- appointment to her to lay aside her one accomplishment in order to concentrate her power upon mature scientific work. It is a noteworthy fact that the Her- schels arrived at sclence by the road of music; for the kindred exactness in the two branches appealed to their mental precision. £ ‘William Herschel's fame as a musician and composer was soon exchanged for that of astronomical discoverer and in- ventor. His wonderful forty-foot tele- scope, the Aiscovery of the planet Geor- gium Sidus in 1781 and of a volcanic moun- tain in the moon in 1783 made him the leading authority in Eturope lndr cnau‘st;: s appointment as astronomer roy: lh'l'l&? ;fi& modest_salary of £200 ailowed him by George III was much less than he ha earneg from his forty weekly mu- sic lessons and position as organist, but he welcomed the change, for he galned in uninterrupted time what he lost in money. The brother and sister now removed to Datchet, and there their life was even busier than before. In recognition of his sister's devotion William Herschel now delighted her by presenting her with a telescope. & ‘“‘seven-foot Newtonian sweeper.” With this instrument she faithfully swept the heavens during her brother's enforced absence at court, bringing herself after some rebellion of spirit to spend night after night on dewy or frosted grass plat with no one within cpll. She soon overcame her repugnance to the loneliness of this work by reflecting that not far away her beloved brother was at the same time making observa- tions upon double stars or planets, and this sense of nearness encouraged her to work away on the nebulae or star clus- ters which she intended to catalo e, ce, upon discovering a comet, she %ad Slne In‘;lte of writing this fact to her brol.gcr. her letter crossing the following diary-letter from him: r Lina: Aug. 1—I counted 100 nebulae to.0ay, and this evening I saw an object which I believe will prove to-morrow night to be a comet. 2d.—To-night I calculated 150 nebulae. I fear it will mot be clear to-night. Ome o'clock.—The object of last night is a comet. It seems, however, from several con- gratulatory letters received from noted astronomers that to Caroline belonged the priority of observing this, the first of the eight comets which she discovered. gvm; this enthusiastic brother Carollne Herschel braved the roughest weather, noting the right ascensions and polar dis- tances of the objects observed while the ink froze in the bottle, helping regularly in his numerical calculations and reduc- tions and only during his absence using the prized Newtonian sweeper, and get- ting through an amount of Independent, original work that caused amazement comrade whenever she could be spared from her AN ASSISTANT ASTRONOMER ROYAL. by Seymour Eaton. —_—— BIOGRAPHICAL STUDIES FOR GIRLS. jamong the admiring a | countries. By this time her sclf-abnegation -was S0 compiete that the joys of youth, the drawbacks of age, were alike unnoted be- cause of her absorption in her brother's | life work. She resented fiercely all praise of herself which might detract from her brother's fame anil writes with all si- ronomers of all cerity: “I have ¢ nothing; ali I am, all 1 know, I owe rother. 1 a only a tool whic ped to his use a well-trained puppy dog would have dor as_much.’ The many distinguished visitors -who | came to the house after the discovery of the Georgian —did not agree with Caroline’s mod timate of | herself. at he salary of the astronomer modest sum of £50 annually was settled | upon Caroiine assistant astronome Her joy, he . over this unprecede ed action in the ¥ of sclence and the possession of first_money, most irregularly paid, which she had ever been able to spend to her liking., was soon clouded by the first real trial of her life. That spring fier brother William mar- ried; although his wife became Caro- line’s lifelong friend, it was a great blow to a woman whose I8 years had been so lived In her brother’s lifs to be thus rele. gated to a second place. Although bit- terly lonely in her lodgings, she neverthe- less worked untiringly, not for the sake of science, but for the sake of the brother ‘who had trained her to believe that as- | tronomy was the only branch of science | worth studying. She but thinly veils her | contempt of other studies when she writes | of her brother Dietrich: “He amuses himself with insects; It is well he does fot see the word * for whenever he catches a fly with a leg more than us- ¥s it Is as good as catching a | | ine Herschel discovered the ma- of her comets after her brother's | marriage. Nevertheless, she still spent many nights star-gazing with him, rough- {1y jotting down his observations, and at dawn hastening to her cottage, where she worked until breakfast, in order to send her brother a fair copy of the night's work, together with the working plan for the following evenin; Sometimes, when Mrs. Herschel would be absent for a | month with her only son, to whom Caro- line was always devoted, the sister would come to her brother's home, working night after night with him in the dear old way. Indeed, had it not been for the lrequem cloudy evenings these laborers by day and night would not have been able to stand the unresting strain of so many | years. As it was, Sir William Herschel's | iron frame succumbed prematurely to the | outrageous treatment which it constantly | received, and he died in 1522. England was | no longer England now that the broth-r who brought her thither was gone, and | the broken-hearted sister returned, at the age of 72, to Hanover, where she lived | twent: years. Stiil falthful to her task Gf “minding the heavens” for her brother, she completed some of his most | important works in her native land. The reduction and arrangement in the form of a vamlodgue in zones of all the star clusters and nebulae observed by Sir W. Herschel In his sweeps won for her in 1528, at the age of 78, the gold medal of [ ki o e o o o o e e S Y - > B S S the Royal Astronomical Soclety. She also wrote many other catalogues and indexes invaluable to astronomers, Who | can but appreciate the unremitting in- | tellectual activity which produced them. She worked slowly, as though she had nearly a century in which to be painstak- g o found In musie, leasures of her later years were and she retained to the last her enthusiasm for great musical performers and composers. Her life was so simple that it was with great difficulty | that she could spend one-half of the an- | nuity of £1% which Sir Willlam Herschel left her. Her dearest joy was in the achievements of her Hlustrious nephew, the beloved brother's only child, Sir John Herschel, an unusual example of the ge- nius of the father descending to the suc- ceeding generation. Sir John Herschel ably carried on the great work which | his” father had begun, and through his | original researches kept the name of Her- | schel foremost in science for a century, dating from Sir Willlam's discovery of the Georgium Sidus to Sir John's death, | nearly 108 years later.
