Educational.
The famous English essayist Fred
rlfl Harrison give expression, ia the
forom, to tome strong criticisms on
the modern school, which will Hod
strong endorsement up and down the
land; he says: "I have now an ex
perience of some 40 years as student,
teacher,' and examiner; and it forces
- on me a profound eonTlotlon that oar
modern education Is hardening into
a narrow and debasing mill. Educa
tion Is overdriven, oversystematized
. monotonous, mechanical. At school
and at college lads and girls are being
drilled like German recruits forced
into a regulation style of learning, of
thinking, and even of writing. They
all think the same thing, and it is
artificial in all. The round of end
less examination reduces education
- to a professional 'cram,' where the
repetition of given formulas passes
for knowledge, and where the ac
curate meincjy of some teacher's
tips' takes the place of thought. Ed
ucation ought to be the art of using
the mind, and of arranging knowl.
edge; it is becoming the artofswal
t lowing pellets of special information.
The professor mashes up a kind of
mental 'pemmican,' which he ranis
into the learner's gullet. When the
pupil vomits up these pellets, it is
called 'passing his examination with
honors.' Teachers and pupils cease
to think, to learn, to enjoy, to feel.
They become cogs in a huge revol ving
mill wheel, which never ceas jb to
grind, and yet never grinds out any
thing but the dust of chaff."
i As to Breathing.
Exchange.
A boy fourteen years old, handed
in the following as a composition on
"Breathing." The instruction was:
"Tell all you can about breathing."
He said:
"Breath is made of air. We breathe
with our lungs, our lights, our liver
and kidneys. If it wasn't for our
breath we would die when we slept.
Our breath keeps the life agoing
through the nose wkn we are asleep.
Boys that stay in a room all day
should not breathe. They should
wait till they get out doors. Boys in
a room make bad, nnwholesoma air.
They make carbonicide. Carbon icide '
is poisoner than mad dogs. A heap
of soldiers was in a black hole in In-
dia. and a carbonicide got in that
there hole, and nearly killed every
one afore morning. Girls kill the
breath with corosits that squeeze the
diagram. Girls can't holler or run
like boys, because their diagram is
squeezed too much. If I was a girl. I
had rather be a boy, so I oan run and
holler, and run and have a great big
diagram."
A retired newspaperman of Colum
bus Ohio 60 years old was married to
a Blizzard on Christmas day, she was
a charming Miss of 21 years.
"That Sallie Harkins is the greatest
girl for gbtting bargains at second
hand, hyntshe? I understand she's
