It was a witty and penetratâ€" ing observation and implied absoâ€" lutely no distaste for Mr. Pater‘s fastidious prose. To write English , in that fashion is, after all, a small fault. But to teach English as if it were a dead tongue is a more seriâ€" omm effense. The unfortunate stuâ€" dent bas no choice; he is in the hands of his Sricnads, the instractors. If they see hi i~ make the strdy of the masters an exercise in rhetoric he has absolutely mo recourse. i ilessly _ dissected, analyzed and classifhied. The illusion was generâ€" al that taste can be taught in the laboratory, an idea which was fatâ€" tering to the dryâ€"asâ€"dusts. no longer dissociated from the idea | of profit. â€" Professor Spencer tells | the National Council of Teachers of | English that b«d method has re-' sulted in making JBrowning, Wordsâ€" | worth, Addison, Shakespeare and .

Doubtâ€" less be is as stanch a supporter of the shelteredâ€"life theory for women as most other peers of the reaim, which is all that need be said. When, therefore, Lord Curzon, as president of the Royal Geographiâ€" cal Society, urges that women be admitted to the society as fellows, it is because women have emphatiâ€" cally "‘made good"‘ as geographers. Before 18892, Lord Curzon remiaded his colleagues, the society had twice conferred its highest honor on disâ€" tingu.shed women. "‘Since that date,‘"‘ he went on, "women have read some of the ablest papers before our society ; they have conducted explorations not inferior in agventurous courâ€" age or in scientific results to those achieved by men; they have made valuable additions to the literature of travel, and have been invited to lecture in our great universities; above all, as research students and as teachers; they enjoy opportumâ€" ties for which they aroe at least as well equipped as men, and which render them & factor of great and growing importance in the diffusion of geographical knowledge among all classes of the nation.‘‘ _ Praise fromi one‘s friends is doubtless sweet, but is it ever quite as sweet as praise forced by good works from the cold!y jadicious! _ Proâ€" Too Much Ignorance Concerning the Care of the Health, Iir. Wiley is right in his contenâ€" tion that people die too young. Human lite should be prolonged, an« it can be by higher education on matters of hygiene. The averâ€" ve expectation of life in the nited Ktates is only about fortyâ€" four years, says the Boston Globe. It should bs much higher, and probâ€" ably will be hereafter, for people are learning more and more conâ€" cerning the prevention of dieeno'. As a matter of fact the most valuâ€" able study in our schools is hygiene. If the young folks are taught the value of food and moderate exerâ€" cise they will grow up strong and possess a knowledge of how to take care of their bod.es.
