In several of the large Eastern vards of the public schools are open during all daylight vils, and the yard of one San Francisco school, the mar, is free of entry throughout the afternoon to any ypearing and behaving lad who may apply to the charge. Although this school is in a distfict less congested and containing more vacant lots than most of the i its yard is crowded every afternoon with merry- ng boys and the policemen patrolling the neighborhood are cor- relieved of care. ‘astern school yards that are never closed adults ap- urpose discipline the children 1 are empowered lerly ones. Similar functionaries would undoubt- i v, and their salar; vould be the only : ion. The fact that the majority of the school yards are disproportionately small when compared with the number of children they are intended to accom- modate cuts no significant figure in the proposal before the Board of Education, other than to emphasize the necessity of having ade- vgrounds attached to the school buildings of future con- ction. The play as well as the work of the pupils should be considered when the plans of the architects are submitted. et ———— GERMAN PUBLIC EDUCATION. T the Prussian Minister of Education a comprehensive review of the history and organization of public education in the German empire, designed as a contribution to the educational exhibit of the St. Louis Exposition. A compendium of the material, brought out in condensed form by Herr W. Lexis of Gottingen, gives to the uninitiated an illuminating view of the whole course of public educa- tion in Germany and offers opportunity for contrast with the sys- tem that obtains in our country. The salient feature which presents itself upon a close study of this little book by Herr Lexis is the evidence of Government contro! throughout the entire German scheme of education. In the twenty-two universities of the empire the entire administration fol- lows regulations set by imperial decree, sovereign privileges control W ar 1 p stri HERE has recently been published :n'!der the authorization of the operation of their faculties, appointments to their academic sen- - ates come only from the Emperor’s hand. Throughout the whol= regimen of the secondary and primary schools rigid civil service rules control the selection of teachers, their tenure of office is coter- minous with their efficiency, and pensions relieve the burdens of old age when retirement is forced upon them. In the elementary schools regulations, while of no less bureaucratic a character, emanate from the governments of the respective states in the empire rather than from central national authority. ! Thoroughness is the pre-eminent characieristic of the German system of education from the kindergarten to the university. That merit cannot be assailed. Both in the training of teachers and in the enforcement of the study requirements the scheme of education obtaining in Emperor William’s land is qualified to point the way to some beneficial revisions of our own standards. Technical educa- tion, first established by Frederick the Great, has attained a higher degree of specialization and perfection in Germany than elsewhere. In every avenue of knowledge there is manifested a painstaking com- of effort, even amounting in some instances to finical pet- tiness, such as we see in 1o other educational sphere, : B3 | COPYRIGHT, — i The Youngsters Play Suits. ! In play suits for children there is a | great variety. Jean, holland and other | old-time serviceable materials are em- ployed for them. They come in quaint styles, for there are “farmer” suits, “Jap" clothes, Indian rigs, cowboy out- fits and soldier costumes. Handkerchiefs, Those colored handkerchiefs which have white centers, colored borders and | white edges are pretty. The edge is hemstitched, straight in places and at others rubbing up into the colored bor- der in flowers and other fanciful de- signs. These are the fine and expen- sive handkerchiefs. Sleeves, These big sleeve tops actually cry for accompanying revers. For a cloth costume there's a mous- quetaire sleeve in small leg-o’-mutton shape.

A lovely draped sleeve caught into [two cuffs is finished with a puff and two ruffles, and ends nearer the wrist | than the elbow. | Greater sleeve variety would be hard 'to find, as it ranges from the coat sleeve | of the tallored suit through all sorts of | ballooniness to the evening puff. Louis Seize sleeves are snug; the el- | bow length is frilled. 1904, BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE § FRANCISCO CALL WITH THE NEW YORK EVENING MAIL.

There is no doubt about the fact that very high-heeled shoes are being ‘worn; it is so necessary to show some- thing excessively dainty in shoe leath- er when the delicate flimsy summer skirt is lifted from the ground. It has been rumored, with a certain amount of likelihood, that boots made of cloth with pointed toe-caps of col- ored leather to match the dress will be bought, and some of the shoemakers are trying to introduce as a novelty elastic side boots, which| used to make the feet of those who wore them look elegant and slender. A fine opportunity is being afforded who like shoes for the display of & color that | THE BOAST OF D | WOULDN'T HE MAKE YOU STARE? | THE SWOR + BY A. L.

ANSWERS | BLOOD CIRCULATION—Subsecriber, | City. The discovery of the circulation chanically converted into light, as is electricity converted into sound in the uses of the telephone. In 1894 the writer, then residing at Tacoma, while experimenting with the solar spectrum, discovered the presence of two additional rays, one of which was electrical and the other magnetic. , Reasoning that vibration was the fun- | damental base of the phemomena of heat, sound and lght, a theory so luctdly illustrated in the telephone, the writer constructed a device which did | transmit light forms. Two Boxes were connected with a wire over which | passed an electric current. They were separated at a distance, one box being at one part of the house and the other | at another part. When a light, such as ! a lamp or candle, was exposed in fromt of one box an observer at the other | box perceived a luminous glow within. | the box he looked imto. | The crude fact was established that light forms could be transmitted by | electrical energy.
