Prof. Darbour's subject was "Can Literature bo Taught?" a subject that has caused much discussion among tho great educators of tho time. Many of them claim that it can not, their reason being that it depends upon the emotional and intellectual nature of tho individual. Prof. Barbour said that he belioves It can be taught. Thero is artistic expression in all literature, ho said, which appeals to tho imaginative intellect, tho cultivated ear and tho sympathetic Heart. As for tho intel lectual sldo, literature can bo taught by an analysis of tho lino of thought; as for the artistic sldo, a teacher can cultivate an ear for the appreciation of the beauty of poetry; and as for the sympathetic or emotional side, the goo& teacher can arouse, through liter ature, the finer feelings and emotions that lie in every human breast. Mr. Couglln gave a talk on "Culture of tho Will." He said that tho teach er is a will-trainer and should not lose sight of this Important fact. He spoke of ex-President Roosevelt as an ad mirable example of one who has great will power. In tho training of tho child some important elements that enter Into the culture of the will are economy, some purpose in tho work, a power to do things and to overcomo difficulties, a forgetting of self and working for tho common good. The lino of human, endeavor in deciding how to act, he said, should be: I am, I ought, I can, I will. Mr. C. G. Harris, tho secretary of tho Heading Circle, reported that one hundred and fifty-nine teachers have become members. Prof. C. H.

MASTER Stroke Was Passage Of In ferior Courts Act Freed The Automohilists From Being Arrested While In Act Of Violating Speed Ordinance If They Can Prodnce A Card Of Identity Interesting Topics Brought To Light In Gotham New York, August 27: Tho passing of tho now "Inferior Courts Act" by tho State legislature of New York was a great triumph for tho automobile owning class. It was a master-stroke which freed them from tho petty an noyance of being arrested and hauled to prison when they are caught in tho act of violating tho speed-ordinances. Tho averago automobilist docs not caro a rap for riding in an auto un less he can go at top speed and as tho police authorities under constant pressure by tho common herd, not owning autos, persisted In arresting speeders whenever thoy could, auto- moblllng had almost ceased to bo n pleasure. But, the new law, will give tho desired relief and in (he future speed fiends can give themselves up to their favorite amusement without fear of landing In some jail. All they havo to do is to obtain one of those Identity cards which the nov law pro vides for. it they have one of these cards in their pocket they cannot be arrested for violating1 tho speed or any other ordinance. Tho officer who should stop them may only examine the card, take the number and hand the violator a summons to appear in court. The autolst may continue his mad race and need not even appear in court, but send his lawyer instead. Under the Taw these cards are to bo issued only to porsons of "good character", but, of course, the owner ship of an auto is. considered prima facio evidence of "good character." Every applicant for a card must be vouched fop by three citizens and it is characteristic of the source of tho law that it expressly provides that no keeper of a liquor saloon shall be ac cepted as voucher for any applicant. Strange to say, this provision 'does not prevent saloonkeepers from ob taining Identity cards. This seems rather anomalous, as these cards are only issued to persons of "good char acter" and thero seems to bo no log ical reason in excluding a person of "good character" from vouching for another person of "good character." There is a gang of burglars opera ting at present in the Bronx and in Westchester, remarkable for tho bold ness and cleverness of Its members and for their mania for writing notes to their victims. In "one of tho houses which tho burglars ransacked the other night, they left two notes, numbored respectively No. 1 and No. 2. Tho first noto read: "If it had not been for the cop on tho beat wo would havo taken more. You havo good stuff, but ho might see us carrying It. Much obliged for what wo havo got. Will como back." The Second noto, left In tho parlor, shojved considera ble cynical humor. It read: "Profit by this lesson. Do unto others as wo havo done unto you." In another house the burglars found $30 which the owner's wife had hid den In a sugar bowl. This sum tho burglars took, leaving a noto with tho following inscription: "Wo give you credit for being' clever. Sorry, but wo wero hard up. Will como back for more." It must havo struck tho burglars that it might-embarrass tho house wlfo to find herself entirely without funds In tho morning. So thoy left tho following note, with a $1 bill pin ned to it, on the kitchen tablo: "Dear Madam: Wo leavo you this, for tho babies may bo hungry in tho morning." Tho burglars also entered a house Inhabited by a poor street railway employe who has a blind wlfo and four littlo children. Tho burglars did not take anything, but loft a noto, which said: "Wo pity you, You liavo a largo family to look out for. Every thing is loft as wo found it." As none of tho notes bore tho namo and address of tho writer, tho polico havo no clue to tho burglars. It is somewhat out of tho ordinary for a married couple to tako tbolr full grown daughter along on their wpddlng trip. That wan done tho other, day, howovor, by a married couplo J n Now Providence, ,N, J., when thoy went on their somewhat bolated honeymoon Journey to Wat kins Olon. When tho two wore mar ried thirty years ago, circumstances did not permit them to mako tho pro posed wedding Journey to Wntklns Glen. They postponed their trip and thirty years elapsed before thoy wero able to carry out their program. One of tho readers, dissatisfied with tho editorial policy of the Jew ish Dally News published In this city, stormed into tho editorial room of the paper tho other day and, after he had told the editor In language moro forcible than elegant, what his private opinion of tho Jewish Dally News was, he threatened to kill tho editor and sot fire to tho plant After his visitor had left, the editor lost no time in hunting up a police magis trate, to whom bo told his story and from whom ho obtained a warrant. Armed with that paper tho editor started to search for tho disgruntled reader and after ho had located him ho caused his arrest. Magistrate Kernochan, beforo whom the prisoner was brought, severely lectured tho man, but finally dismissed him with the warning to keop away from the nowspapcr sanctum in the future. "Thero are many times," said tho magistrate, "when I am not pleased with things In tho newspapers, but I don't run along Park Itow and threat en to burn up every newspaper plant." In spite of the fact that scores of arrests for smuggling havo been mado at this port during the past few months, somo travelers returning from Europe do not seem able to re sist the temptation to make tho at tempt of cheating Uncle Sam out of his customs dues. The other day a young married couple, returning from Its wedding trip was arrested for at tempted smuggling and a collection of necklaces and other Jewelry which tho bride had secreted on her person and, of course, not declared, was con fiscated. Almost every liner coming from Europe brings one or more per sons who try to smuggle dutiable goods Into tho country, although they aro fully able to pay tho duty, which would save them from all risk of hu miliation, arrest, annoyance, loss of property and payment of fines. It seems that a great many persons, who had heard of others how easy it was to smuggle things into the coun try years ago, havo. not yet learned that Collector Loeb has given the customs service in this port a thor ough shaking up. 4.
