A HOOK of splendid personality
vivid. positive, convincing and
very readable. An intimate first

well as a full measure of such
knowledge as comes through the more in
direct ehannel of ?>ooks. lies at the hot
tom of this study. Ability to see things
pretty much as they are. a good hold or.
the ways of human nature, practice in the
art of drawing reasonable deductions
from budhs of substantial fact, and a
genuine pasjsi'1!) for plain speaking com- ,
bine lure to round this knowledge into a
clear, authoritative and timely discussion
of Germany and the German people.
The lirst hundred pages of the book
spread out the historical sources of the
modern German state. The remaining
live hundred make accounting of the larxe
features of this state. I'nder the equivo
cal title "The Indiscreet" is a masterly !
analysis of "the chief llgure of interest in i
the.world touay." the German emperor. I
To most intents and purposes, as truly as'
in the seventeenth century l.ouis XI\

ton. so does the German emperor donti- .

of <>rmany. Mr. Colliers chapter 0:1
Berlin is a pointed lesson in municipal \
administration. "The Distaff Side"' deals
in a broad and interesting fashion with
the plac< of woman in the economy of
German iife. The author quotes an Eng
lishman. "Th? Land of Damned Profes
ses." as title to a chapter on the quality
of German philosophy, the bent of Ger
man education. Th?- present problems of
this state, economic and industrial at bot
tom. are tersely put and surveyed. As a
whole this is a notably concrete aad dra

H. H. Bashford. authoFof "The Pil
grim's March," ate. New York:
Henry Holt & Co.
Tlif average novel reader and the
purely technical critic, though an ill-as
sorted pair, may easily be found hob
robbing together here in condemnation
of "Pity the Poor Blind." The one,
happy so long as more or less heroic
enterprises aro a.'oot. sees nothing at all
in this meandering tale. The other, ner
vously anxious about consistencies and
proportions, about the rules of realistic
invention and the laws of impression
istic creation, bundles the book out with
out to-do as a sheer literary lawbreaker.
Put the others, the many others, who
must have life itself caught and held j
quiet now and then for them to ex
amine its seeming puzzle, for them to j
question its inscrutable riddle?these oth- I
era will find the Look a pure joy. A lit- i
tlo corner of England is hedged off in it- !
Here the usual complement of English j
folk is set?the squire's family, the doc- 1
lor's, the vicar, the young curate and
the lesser people of the countryside. I
Among these, a genial, human-hearted,
comprehending soul, the author, wanders
nr? and down, in and out. gathering
everybody's story out of this sequestered
nook. There is the universal adventure
of walking at the very side of hap
piness. hut unaware, eyes holden to the
loveiy face of It. ears sealed to the en
trancing voice?the adventure of seek
ing God In some far place while He
stands at one right band, unspoken. To
all these this leisurely story about the
real affairs of real folks in this quiet
spot will have an intimate personal
charm, in addition to its more external
appeal as a fresh and delightful manner
of literature.
THK I.AKI.IvR ISPEt'TS OF SOCIAL
ISM. Pv William English Walling,
.ujthor of "Socialism As It Is." New
York: The Macmillan Company.
Mr. Walling's earlier book. "Socialism
As It Is." takes the view that socialism
is a movement whose direct aim is noth
ing less than to build, a new civilization.
From this standpoint he discusses the
chief instruments of this' purpose, eco
nomics and politics. The volume in hand,
setting out from the opposite extreme, as
sumes that socialism is this new civiliza
tion. gradually 'defining and embodying
Itself through a sum of social movements.
In this the author gathers up the larger
aspects of this civilization and examines
Ihem in the ligut of socialist theory.
These larger assets cover the intellec
tual and spiritual phases of the present?
science, religion, education, ethics, his
tory. social relatione. At the outset Mr.
Walling lays claim to the new prag
matic philosophy?bv preference Prof.
John Dewey's interpretatibn of it?as a
philosophy that is purely socialistic in
its bearings and entirely so in its prac
tical applications. With this as a basic
assumption the author turns the light of
this pragmatic ph.losophy of socialism
upon each of these larger aspects of our
civilization?upon ethics, religion, educa
tion ai d *?! fin?for a new interpretation
of the nature, the bearings, the direction
and the destination of each. With this
captured ph.losophy as the chief agent of
socialism Mr. Walling constructs a very
Plausible sociology of socialism out of
th?- various views of socialists and pras
inatiMt.*. whom he has used with great
freedom in support of his argument. A
very thoughtful anil scholarly line of e.\
P"*itio!i and reasoning addressed to seri
ous stnder ts of the many-sided subject
of socialism.

THK UKKAM GIRL. By Kthel Ger
trude Hart. Illustrated by Gordon

?v ?'o. Washington: Woodward &
Lotlirop.
One reads along through this open
correspondence, puzzling to remember
where lie has before met this familiar
seenning girl, the "dream girl" of these
letters. Some other time, some other
where, lie has come across her doing this
very same thing?writing bright letters
to while away the boredom of a strange
young man during the tedium of mending
a broken bone. Then, just as now, one
recalls dimly, the letters were written
most agreeably to both, in the simple
emotion of pitying on the one hand, of
beiiit, pitied on the other. Then, again,
jusi as now. they grew warmer, and
warmer, and warmer. At the end of this
correspondence it turns out that there is
no "dream girl." Then?why. of course!
it is arjorie Daw" that mothers this
fresh young story, and Thomas fcalley
Aldrich its grandfather. A not un
worthy child of fine forbears.
THK AMBASSADRESS. By William
Wriothesley. New York: George H.
l>oran Company.
Almost any diplomatic circle taken up
in its official and social appearance looks
like a picturesque and fruitful theme for
the novel writer to take any one of
half a dozen clever literary turns upon.
Mr. Wriothesley chooses this inviting
subject as the warp of this story. By
sheer bad !uck. however, he, at the
very start, sets himself a .heavy handi
cap. This consists of an attitude to
which his powers arc ill-suited. "Most
ambassadorial duties may be performed
by a discreet footman, a discriminating
major-domo, a competent secretary," is
the fundamental assumption. With dip
lomatic work so assigned, nothing but
playtime remains for the diplomatic fam
ily itself." But play may be made a
very stimulating and engaging matter.
Some one?say. Oscar Wilde?would,
upon tliis foundation, have built a clover
comedy, with wit, and ceremony, and
beauty, attending its exposure of the
yoids and vacancies of the situation. Mr.
Wriothesley does not play easily and
naturally. So. in this respect, the story
romps a bit. The talk chatters. The
laughter explodes. The lover counts the
dollars too openly before the wooing be
gins. The flirtations are of the below
stairs variety. And such a hero!?his
picture showing a "weak chin," a "vac
uous brov.\" "Ho is dull. He is proud, he
is arrogant." The author, a mere man,
sets himself a miracle here. and. natural
ly. fails to perform it. Th?* heroine, "the
ambassadress." an American, is of so
exceptional a character as to make licr,
to ail intents and purposes non-existent.
One may accept this story as a.n hour's
diversion of the lighter sort, but he hes
itates to take it as a dependable picture
of diplomatic life at Berlin, or any oth
er place, for that matter.
THRKK WEEKS IX FRAMK. By
John 1". Higinbotham. Chicago:
The Reilly & Britton Company.
The author has given to his pilgrimage
through France the same literary charm
and spontaneous humor which invest his
similar trips abroad, allowing three
weeks each to Holland. Belgium, and the
British Isles. Without touching Paris in
his present tour, which begins from New
York via a French ship to Havre, the
writer takes in Rouen, where "occurred
the most diabolical act since tiie Cruet-1
fixlon. the burning of Joan of Arc";
Chartres, "the granary of Paris"; Mont
St. Michels to the abbey, which, founded
by saintly instruction in is having its
interior "restored to death.'' Then to
many chateaux, cathedrals and other
ancient repositories of French history,
with a visit to I^ourdes on the way to
other places of interest and charm, which
means every city, town and village to
Fontainebleu. "entirely surrounded by
forest and tourists." where the delightful
ramble ends. The pilgrim who lias gone
before will enjoy the descriptive accuracy '
and intelligence of viewpoint which Mr. ;
Higinbotham gives to his chronicling?: I
the expectant tourist will tlnd helpful i
hints in the matter of trains, routes and j
other incidentals to comfortable travel, ;
while for the reader whose only touring!
is by his imagination, the book Is as re- j
alistie as a moving-picture show. While i
many artistic photographs of scenes and
types intersperse the text, one cannot!
help wishing that a writer who has made ;
himself so personably companionable had j
put his portrait on the frontispiece page. \
Instead of the pretty, but not nearly so
interesting picture, "In the Pyrenees."
PII.iiRIMS OP THE PI.AIXSj a Romance
of the Santa Fr Trail. By Kato A.
Aplington. Chicago: F. G. Browne
& Co.
The old Santa Fe trail has been fol- j
lowed by earlier writers, who have in- ;
vested every step of that way between
civilization and the ancient Spanish city
with adventures that make up the history
and romance of the growing west. The
author of the present work is a worthy
pilgrim in the footsteps of those literary
pioneers. The interest she imparts to
each page represents her ability to tell
a story, and environment adds the happy
chance of atmosphere. But the more
solid addition of historic value was
gained by years of delving into authorita
tive data that ranged from government
records to talks "with those who have
traveled the long road to Santa Fe be
hind their ox-tea:ns," and the making
of a map of the trail "which hung on
the wall before me as I wrote."
The heroine, Deya, with her invalid
brother and a party of sturdy frontiers
men that Includes a professor who
evolves into the hero before the journey
comes to its end. make the trail in the
early days when Indians were a menace
? 6 be reckoned with by all travelers who
dared the plains. There are picturesque
camping places in nature's isolation be
yond the edge of civilization, exciting ad
ventures with Indians and Mexicans, de
lightful nights at far-between shelters
along tlje trail, and a happy ending that
brings love to Deya, health to her
brother and a dear home-coming to both.
A real interesting innovation, as stories
go, is the introduction at intervals
throughout the book of the words and
music of "Barbara Allen," "Captain
Kidd," "the Brown Girl" and other old
time ditties one seldom sees in print.
THK STORV OK THE CIVIL WAR; a
Conclnc Account of the War In the
lotted Statrn of America Between
18(11 and 1N65, In Continuation of
the Story by John lodnaa Ropes.
By William Roscoe Livermore, col
onel T'nited States Army, member of
the Massachusetts Historical So
ciety. AVItli maps and plans. Part
III, two volumes. New York: G. P.
Putnam's Sons.
Thirteen years ago John C. Ropes,
who had undertaken the history of the
civil war at the instance of his friend
the publisher, George Haven Putnam,
himself an author and a veteran of that
conflict, died after having completed
two volumes of hi6 work, covering the
operations of 1861 and 1862. He was
a lawyer in Boston who had under
taken the study of military history as
a diversion and a special research, hav
ing been physically disqualified from
participation in the war between the
sections. His death left incomplete a
work that promised to be the most
comprehensive and trustworthy analy
sis of the fighting during the civil
war, and it is fortunate that so com
petent an authority as Col. Liivermore
should have undertaken its completion.
A student of military subjects and an
author of numerous works, he is per
haps the best man to have carried on
Ropes' great enterprise. In the pres
ent part, comprising two books, he
deals with the campaigns of 1863, to
gether with the operations on the Mis
sissippi from April, 186-', carrying the
story of the war along as far as Get
tysburg. This is no circumstantial, de
tailed history of general maneuvers
and small incidtntal conflicts, but it
proceeds on the plan of selecting the
larger and more conclusive engage
ments, drawing them in close analysis
and at the same time pointing out their
relation to the general progress of the
conflict. . Col. Liivermore follows Mr.
Ropes' plan of drawing for his infor
mation from the Teports of commanders
on field sites. givingvcopious references.
We see the minds of commanders at
work, their mental processes disclosed
in their confidential communications
and their observations to comrades and
colleagues. No hesitation is shown
about criticising severely the leaders
on the respective sides for tactical
errors, as, for instance, in the case of
Hooker at Chancellorsville. where a
more prescient leader would have seen
his way clear to a cruphing victory in
stead of suffering a humiliating de
feat. Again at Gettysburg, the story
of which is told vividly and compre
hensively. we find blame and prais*
given to both the Federal and the Con
federate officers. The work is profuse
ly illustrated with maps inset with
text, while larger scale maps are
pocketed at the back of each volume
for a more comprehensive view of the
larger situations. It is to be hoped
that Col. Liivermore will continue this
work to conclude the story of the civil
war.
THE TRliTH \BOLT THK TITANIC,
By Col. Archibald Grade, author of
"The Truth About Chickamauga,''
Sixteen illustrations. New York:
Mitchell Kennerley.
When the Titanic .sank a little more
than a year ago. carrying down the ma
jority of her passengers and crew, one
of the most remarkable stories told by
the survivors was that related by Col.
Archibald Grade of this city, who went
down with the ship and found his way
to a capsized boat and thus was saved.
His account of the disaster and his own
remarkable experience thrilled the coun
try. as it was related when he reached
New York on the Carpathia a few days
after the catastrophe. Col. Grade died
on the 4th of December last, leaving un
finished the manuscript of a book on the
Titanic disaster. It was, however, suffi
ciently completed to warrant publication
with no nrore than a general editing- A
final chapter had been p'anned, reviewing
the whole tragedy in retrospect, but the
publication of the work in its present
form iH l'ully justified as a vivid, dra
matic, personal document. It is illus
trated with numerous photographs.
PIOSKKKS. By Willa Sibert Cather.
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company.
Miss Cather's latest story deals with
life upon the Nebraska farms. This is
the result of a painstaking study of con
ditions in that country, particularly
among the settlers of foreign birth and
their descendants. She tells here of a
remarkable woman, Alexandra Bergson,
who. at her father's death, in circum
stances most depressing, undertakes to
keep the family together and to hold the
land t-hat the patient" Swede had so
hardly won. These were in the days of
struggle, before the soil had yielded its
richness; the days of heavy mortgages
awl crop failures and much shifting and
surrendering. Alexandra saw the possi
bilities and remained, buying when others
sold, extending when others contracted,
until after long years she became the
richest landowner of her neighborhood,
a pioneer in the adoptiorf of improved
methods and the application of advanced
ideas of farming. A romance is woven
into the lives of these people, with a
gruesome tragedy close at hand. Most
of the participants in this tale are Swed
ish, Frefieh and Bohemian, and the story
Js valuable, apart from its distinct liter
ary quality, in instancing the composite
character of the people of the middle
west.
THE WHISTLING WAX. By Maximil
ian Foster. Illustrated. D. Apple
ton & Co.
An American and his son are living in
retirement, amounting to concealment, in
a small French town. A man comes
whistling a certain tune, and the Ameri
can is panicstricken. His son, accus
tomed since childhood to flight from place
to place, is mystified. The fathor dies on
the sandalwhen about to meet the whis
tling man, and the son returns to Amer
ica determined to solve the mystery of
his father's exile. He finds hlmsel' en
meshed in a complicated Wall street in
trigue, leading back to a crime of which
his father had been Accused, and from
the consequences of which he had Ami.
The action in this country is compassed
within a few hours, and in that time the
mystery is solved, a romance is devel
oped, Wall street experiences a spas
modic panic with quick recovery, culprits
are exposed and justice triumphs. This
is a moving, entertaining story, written
with all of Mr. Foster's skill and per
suasiveness.

THE DISTANT DRUM. By Dudley Stur
rock. New York: John L<ane Com
pany.
The matter opens in fair promise at
Meadowbrook with the international polo
match about to begin. It looks, for. the
first chapter, as if the stage were set
for one of the better and more interest
ing sort of social performance. Almost
immediately, however, the affair takes
a downward turn from which it does not
regain Its initial level. The development
and end are a sensational mess. That
the story is "founded upon an actual
society event uf recent days" does not?
palliate the offenso of the book. A city
has many noisome facts and processes ?
garbage carts, si w<-r traps opened and
closed as quickly as may be. offensive
objects beiiiK drnv n away and so on ?
but that these arc facts do?>s not warrant

hastily marries her. Two divoiced hus
bands already to h>tr account, a iess illicit i
relation of a year's duration, the drug j
habit, a tiger's temper, and a fishwife's
tongue are the dev< lopuients that wait
upon the new husband. These are the
conditions, too, which go to show that
t-is story has wandered out of its prop

It is well known to every oik that
our satellite is ever moving so rapidly
eastward among the stars that it com
pletes the entire circuit of the heavens
in somewhat less than one month, but it
is only the more careful observer who
detects thut its paths among the stars
by the moon. Were we at the center of
the earth we would thus see the bright
star Spica (at D>, hidden August 7, and
the red Antares (at E?>. hidden August
tO. These bright stars would instantly
disappear when they were reached by the

steadily moving dark edge of the moon,
and would suddenly shine out again at
the bright edee when the moon had pass
ed a distance eastward equal to its own
! diameter, about one hour later. But un
fortunately we in northern latitudes are
so far above the equator of the earth
j that we will look over the upper edge of
' our satellite and wiil not see these bright
stars hidden. Similarly, August -4. the
moon will pass directly across the beau
tiful group of morning stars known as
the Pleiades, hiding from us one star of
this group after another, but this most
interesting occurrence will also* not be
seen by us. as it wiil occur at .1 o'clock
in tn?- afternoon when neither the moon
. nor the Pleiades are above our horizon.
!
i that no le6s than three eclipses will occur
in the short interval of one month.
Mercury, Venus, Mai* and Saturn are
now all morning stars, the first reaching
its greatest distance west of the sun and
ricing about one hour before sunrise
August 21. The second is by far the
brightest of these planets, and will at
once attract the observer's attention, as
it shines in the east for about two hours
before sunrise. On the morning of August.
30 Venus will be very near Neptune and
but eighteen minutes south of it; both
planets may then be seen together in the
telescope.
Mars at the beginning of the month is
just east of the Pleiades and northwest
of Saturn, but it is moving so rapidly
that it will pass the latter planet and
attain h position far to the east of Alde
baran and almost in the borders of Tau
rus by the end of the month.
Saturn will at once be noticed very
near the Hyades and a little east of them.
This region of the skv with these two
very brilliant star groups and the two
bright and interesting planets nearby will
well repay an extra effort made to oh
' serve it, even though it rises above the
ground at so inconvenient an hour.
The planet Jupiter, shining so brilliantly
with its golden radiance in the south, still

Although it roughly follows the path pur
sued by the sun and marked BMC in fig
ure 1, it is sometimes no less than live
degrees above or below this path, arid
therefore at different times any star lying
Within this distance of the Npath of the
sun may be hidden froin us, or occulted.
August .11, at three hours fifty-two min
1 j utes p.m. the second new mbon of the

it will pass into the earth's shadow and
be totally hidden, and again September
3t? it will partly hide the sun from view.
Thus its path now lies in such a position

remains the most interesting object for
observation in the evening sky. This flat
tened, rapidly turning ba-1, with its deli
cately tinted, ever changing bands and its
more irregular areas of vapors which
are ever moving and altering their shape
on the surface of the immense hot world, ,
forms in fact one ol" the most interesting
of all the objects in the heavens. It was
thus that our earth was ages ago. As
we look at this younger wor.d we cannot
but speculate on what It shall be when,
in the far ages of the future, it, too, will
have become a solid and temperate
planet, though a far larger world than
ours.
MOTION PICTUEES FOE
THE DISTRICT SCHOOL
MOTION pictures will be used prob
ably in Home of the public
schools of the District next year
to supplement the study courses. It
lias long been the desire of the school
authorities to add motion picture ap
paratus to the teaching equipment, but
it has not been until recently that
i hopes for installing such . machines
! have been given a substantial founda
' tlor.
To install such apparatus and keep it
up is expensive, and the school chiefs
fe?*l that it would be useless to try to (
Ket a congressional appropriation for
the work. The teaching staffs of some
of the buildings took the matter in
hand, however, and with the aid of the
patrons of the schools In quite a num
j ber of instances have raised enough
i money for the purchase of the desired
I equipment. When the schools are
( opened in the fall the motion picture
machines ^ ill receive attention and as
soon as practicable will be put Into the
schools that nave the money with which
to purchase them.
Motion pictures fit perfectly into the
scheme of education. Present methods
of education are not limited to "book
learning," but extend to the process
known as "vistiallzMtloa In teaching."
This phase of education is not in it
self particularly new, but its accom
plishment through the aid of the mo
tion picture is a novelty in the educa
tional fields In this country
*
* ?
Through the "visualisation" which
the motion picture producc^o vividly
and accurately, studies that have here
tofore beert merely so much "bone and
dust" to the youthful pupils will take
on an atmosphere of reality. The pic
tures will make clear numerous inci
dents and will actually portray scenes
that have heretofore been little more
than a mass of words to the young
sters, say the school authorities.
? For instance, when the children learn
in their geography lesson that a cer
tain mountain is several thousand feet
in height they will not have to figure
that the mountain in question is so
many times higher than the Washing
ton Monument, but will be able to get
a truer idea of tts size by making an j
Imaginary trip up Its side, by film, and j
then on reaching its top look down
into the valleys below.
No more will the great cities of the
world, the Jungles, the rivers and the
vario.us world-wonders be left to the
imagination of the pupils. Ships that
carry on the commerce of the nations,
geysem that pour forth steaming water,
ranches where, thousands of cattle graze,
all that formerly meant little more than
dream-geography can now* be shown In
actual, live reality.
So. too, with history and literature.
Battles of the revolution and the civil
war, the Boston tt-a party and the signing
of the Declaration of Independence can
all be seen by the children nearly as well
as if they had been living at that time
The tale of "Hiawatha," the wanderings
of Ulysses, the trial scene from the "Mer
chant of Venice" can all be told by film
to supplement the literary courses now
in the schools. .
*
* *
Of course, in these two last subjects,
the pictures are of actors, but this fact
will tend to lessen very little the Interest
of the boys and girls in them, and at the
same time will clarify to their minds
points which may not have been made
clear by the written words of the books.
Few subjects being taught in the
schools today cannot be successfully sup
plemented by motion pictures, according
to the opinions of tl?e Washington edu
cators. .Nature study, biology, art, chem
istry, physics, civics and even music can
be supplemented by the films, while in
the industrial subjects which aro touched
upon in the geography lessons an entire
new world is opened to the children.
Dr. William M. Davidson, suoerinteud
ent of schools; Ernest I,. Thurston, the
assistant superintendent; Alexander T.
Stuart, dire-'tor of intermediate instruc
tion, and Miss Elizabeth V. Brown, di
rector of primary Instruction in the
schpola, are all iu favor of the motion
picture as an educational supplement.
Thus, it rot} be seen, no objection will
be rais?*d probably t)ii> schools ask
permission to install the required appar
atus. It will be necessary, however, to
call in the proper District officials to
make certain that the proper precautions
are taken against fire. This will be only
a routine matter and is not expected to
create any difficulties.
Only a few schools will have the re
quired funds to Install machines at first.
These schools will be used by buildings
in their vicinity, so that practically all
the schools in the District may be using
motion pictures for educational purposes
next year.
m <
* *
It is probable that the use of motion
pictures In the schools will not be limited
to educational purposes. If the consent
of Congress is obtained to open the build
ings as social centers?and great efforts
are being made to obtain this consent
picture shows may be given in the even
ings. Part of this work probably will be
devoted to instruction in such things as
hygiene and sanitation, but a large part
will also undoubtedly be taken up with
pictures of a purely entertaining char
acter. In this manner it is hoped that
the youngsters will be instilled with a de
sire to see only such pictures as are con
sidered good for them and may be
prompted to keep away from the so
called "blood-and-thunder" pictures.
Thomas A. Edison is strongly in favor
of the motion "picture as a means of edu
cation and has expressed himself as be
lieving it will revolutionize education.
Whether the Innovation will ever accom
plish this much remains to be seen. It
is true, however, that more films of an
educational nature are being produced
than were formerly made, and not a few
companies are now in existence which de
vote their entire work to producing ed
j ucatlonal suujects. \\ ith tile installation
of picture apparatus throughout tut- bie
cities of the country the demand will In
crease greatly, it Is expected.
The old-fashioned stereoscope was the
early forerunner of the present motion
picture. I his little instrument is st'll
an important factor in the teaching eauin
l ment of a large number of schools in
America. "Traveling libraries ' of the
I little double pictures are sent from one
j school to another, and the pupils have a '
chance to see photographs taken In dlf '
jferent countries and of different Indus-J
tries In a fairly clear manner. I
* *
The stereoscope was followed by the
stereopticon. This at first furnished onlv
the "flat" effects, but later was able to
show colors. This instrument was in
turn followed by the reflectoecope which
lias been superseded In the opinion of the
educators only by the motion picture The
refleetoscope presented an advantage over
the stereopticon inasmuch as post cards
and pictures in books could be shown bv
means of Jt. and in colors.
As this does away with the slide* n*?
essary for the stereopticon, it elir^Tnof
considerable expense. eliminates
The stereoscope and the
are both in favor among the w! f?Pe
! ton ediicaiors. Many of* the' sS.S'i11?;
present have either of these instrunSfL*
(and in the high schools niuat,S7i?'
' tures are given frequently.
this is done by a teacher in the srh^Sfi8
but often one of the pupils prepares *
lecture on a subject of peculiar
to the school and delivers it lnterest
The two instruments named hw.

method of enhancing- a Cour^ 'of lji'3
I With a lecture of half an hour and the
I aid of pictures a. teacher is often able to
demonstrate clearly to a class informa
tion that would take many times longer
and prove many times more difficult if j
taught only through ttie UBe of books on ,
the subject.
Basing their Judgment on the success of |
these two devices and on what they have J
neen of the motion pictures, the educators I
here are unanimous in the opinion that
motion pictures will widen greatly the
scope and methods of education. Trob
ably a few years hence they will" be won
dering how they ever "got along" with
out It be/ore.
A Millennium Club.
From Leslie's.
Millennium! One way to bring about
the htillentiium is to have nothing to do
with any article of food or clothing that
is produced by the torture or death of a
living thing. A company of women in
lioston organized upon this platform as
the Millennium Club has aroused consid
erable Interest among manufacturers and
Importers. The members have pledged
themselves to eat no meat, to wear no
kid gloves, leather shoes, slippers or belts,
aigrettes, wings, quills or shell combs.
Hut in making no distinction between
things tortured or tilings killed for food
or clothing the club blunders. The mil
lennium does not come in this way. If
some things in this world were not being
constantly killed their survival and rapid
multiplication would be productive of |
anything else but a millennium for the
higher orders of life. Swat the fly and
crush the snake and smoke the mosquito'
