Scrnnton isn't anythlns If not pro gressive, and the same spirit of restless activity and excitement thut cliarac-thi-rizts the city In other directions IK'nadea the schools. The days are not half Ions enough, nor are thre half enouph of them, to accomplish all that is undertaken, and the result is that the schools which jtenprally mean the teachers are criticised un mercifully. To iuote from an educa tional journal, ' This Is an use ot fads in education." therefore it requires a meat deal of experience, Rood, sound jiiOfrment and discrimination to decide what to adopt and what to reject from much of the so-called new education. Nowhere Is rope's, advice Re not the first ly whom the new Is tried. Nor yet the last to lay the old aside," more applicable than In the. schools. What u boon It would be to the per plexed teacher if some enterprising jiedaBocuo would discover or invent a process by which to solve the problem of how much of the new to try and how much of the old to lay aside; and what a blessing to the pupils under our care. .remaps mat may ue one ui im; rij i -lads of mysteftos which will be made clear by the X rays. For the past few years the Seranton schools have presented a most excel lent field for the cultivation of "fads," One time JT IS CALISTHENICS which has Its brief day, to be followed perhaps by language lessons; and tho pupils para phrase poetry and write stories which almost drive those who have to read them into the Inpane asylum, but which might be recommended ns a remedy for a lit of the blued for unyone who was not compelled to lead them. Wut these matters ure undent history. Another time It is writing;, ut;l we are exhorted nay, commanded to write, write, write, continually. Nothing in education is lmpoitnnt outside of writ ing, therefore we must write every day and all day lor.g. To give the subject all the prominence demanded for it, pencils are tabooed, and pen and ink with all their delightful accompani ments, become the chief objects of in terest in the school room. Then it is drawing, and we are given to understand that we might as well be dead; in fact, are "dead teachers," if we cannot, or do not, for it amounts to the same thing, teach art '') The sole object and aim of u teacher's life should be to turn out of the HchocM a generation of artists educated upon the "twelve easy lessons" Ian.

We have Just settled down to the belief that all the latest improve ments In education have been adopted, when we become victims to the geo graphical epidemic which has hren spreading over the country for some time. In our case It assumes THE STATISTICAL FORM N and we are required to find nut a masH of unimportant stitls tlcs, which it will he much easier :o forgot thun to acquire.

Why should they'.' Who ever heard that a knowl edge of statistics Implhs either an edu cation or superior Intelligence? In ad dition to this, many o' our precon ceived notions of the sltuntion of places and the uses of certain phenomena of nature are overthrown, and like the perplexed senator, we are In doubt as to where we are "at." And thus we go on. as some one has very aptly ex pressed It. "cramming facts into our heads and driving out our brains." While we are striving with nil our might, destroying our bodies, and we almost fear our souls, to achieve the Impossible, the dear public Is criticis ing us because our pupils cannot spell correctly nor make up .a simple ac count; because they cannot write a let ter or note according to the most ap proved rules or the latest fashion; be cause they VIOTjATKTHrc COMMONEST RULES OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR or do not know positively tho capital of the state In which they live.

The uninitiated may In quire, "iiut do you in t tea'h spell ni--, grammar, arithmetic and the other s sontiale, or are they no longer regarded as essentials?" Everybody has heard the story of the Indian, who when the English were taking possesion of all the land on one side of the Ohio river, and the French ail on the other, asked, "Where Is tho Indian's land?" Al though history does not record the an swer we know that the Indian Is still en evidence, even though he has been crowded to the wall. So It is with the essentials in our curriculum. Hut while we deplore the restlessness and craving for change which has taken possession of us, we must In nil candor admit that many things which at first appeared to be "fads" have proved to be reforms, and we accord nil honor to those who have ree'ognized that fact and have hail the courage to adopt them. However, we believe that more encouragement from the public; more individuality on the part ef the teach er; more conservatism not In the sense, of old-fogylsm in the adminis tration, unci more liberal salarlis f r e-xperienced and deseiTing teachers would do our schools a vast amount of good. W1LIIELMINA WHEN.. SKETCHES OF AN OCEAN VOYAGE. My first trio across the ocean was one which I shall never forget. It was a beautiful morning in the month of May, 1 bade my friends gcxxl-bye. on t lie crowded pier at Liverpool, and got aboard the liritlsh Prince, I had often been on on ew-ean stcamshln. but only when anchored at the Liverpool dix'ks. It was an entirely different sensation I had when we sailed down the English channel with about two thousand pas sengers aboard, all nations oeing repre sented, all classes and creeds. After a few hours' nailing we readied Queeiis town. where we stopped to take on such mails, and passengers, most of whom Were rosy-cheeked it Ish girls: their sweethearts and families, coming on beard to bid them good-bye. These farewells were very snd, ns no other nationality thinks so much of its na tive land as do the Irish. Some women came on board selling fruit to the pas sengers. They were quaintly dressed in their native costume, which consisted of linsey woolsty dresses, pluld shawls and snowy caps on their heads, one friendly old lady going about, bestow ing her blessing on every one she came In contact with. I was very sorry whe.i up left Uucenstown, us we very soon took our parting look at land, the lust we should see for some time. We had a most beautiful sunset at sea, on our second day on the water, und we saw some very queer looking llshes, the strange-st 1 saw being a Jelly fish. About four days utter sailing there came a great storm. It lasted three davs. We were not nllowed on deck el tiring this time, so great was danger of being blown overboard. The scenes were terrible to witness during the Ftorm. some prayed, some blasphemed, some sang. The nights were spent the same as the days, no sleep for any of the passengers, each one with a life preserver, ready at a moment's notice to meet his fate. At the end of three days the wind grew calm, and we found on coming on deck, that we had lost almost all our life boats, only one be ing left ,our masts were damaged, but not any serious damage was done to the ship or ltu passengers, with the ex ception of one of the steerage passeng ers who became Insane during the storm. The physician was obliged to have her placed in a cell under the care of a nurse. I so well romeircier on the duy after the storm 1 went on deck, and, being worn eiut for want of rest, I fell asleep In my chair. When I awoke I found It almost time for din ner, I hurried down the gangway to my reom, some one I passed, pushed me rather roughly, 1 thought, but I did not take any notice of the incident, until I had reached my room, I found on putting my hand In my iiockct, my purse, containing all the money I es sesscd, and a railroad ticket tJ my des tination, hail been stolen, and an old purse with twenty-tlve cents in put in its place. Evidently the thief did not want to leave me penniless. 1 was very much worried about my loss, as I knew It meant to me to be landed on a strange land, a stranger, without money. I told the captain about my loss, but he said he could not do anything until we reached Philadelphia. We reached there after a voyage of thir teen days nnel fourteen hours. The captain took mo to tho money exchange olllce as soon ns we arrived, I sat where I could see tho passengers exchange their money for American coin, but we could not get any trace of the missing purse er money, wo thought perhaps that the thief might exchange or try to use the missing ticket, but he evidently knew that would throw suspicion on him. Through the kindness of the cap tain I was cared for by his friends until he applied to the railroad company for a pass to take me to my destination, which they very readily gave-, and after a twelve hours' ride on the train, I reached my friends, not any the worse, except in pocket, for my experiences in crossing the ocean. SARAH A. H. BELL. SOME CURIOUS TYPES. Since nil sorts and conditions of men nre necessary to make up a world, and since we are brought up in the belief thnt what Is absolutely useless coos not exist, there remains for us no al ternative but to ackiwwledgo with a ci'a: im! le humil ty, ur lack of comi r . hension of nature's design In fashion ing some of her curious specimens. which we may ccnvcnlently consider un- eler a common head viz. bore's. We all have our varied experiences with this abundant element whose idiosyncrasb s differ as widely as do those of normal mankind. It thrives behind tho magnetic pil lars of the law, within the responsible precincts of the rostrum. In the throb bing world of tiade. In the realms ot arts and letters, in the domains of the drawing room and the club; In brief, wherever there may be sufficient Im pulse to foster, in any way, a dngene;' ate product of this remarkable and startling nineteenth century civiliza tion.

Detection here is not always impossible, and instead ot tho anticipated surrender, you witness only a dlgnllied and well managed re treat with cednrs flying, and ere the re allty dawns, you ure drawn slowly 'but surely away from lite scor.o of the con filet.

These have a sister, too, who is a type of alarming proportions. She is what Dryden terms "an Ideal tattler." The philosopher, the poet and the wit. ever since there have been philcveiphers, poets and wits, have justly made h-r a target for their shafts. Shakespeure, woman's truest friend, charges the no blest of her kind thus: "Thou wilt not utter what thou deist not know." This condition is not necessarily the accom paniment of u malevolent disposition. The weight becomes so burdensome, the craving for sympathy so strong, the haunting plea of reason so weak nnd, lo! It is nil over. Our "typv" Is hnppy nnd the three or four confidantes are happy anel all is serene until the unlucky moment when the confidnntes begin to experience the precise seusa tlems of their Informant, and then.

Uut time passes and we are digressing. It will suilice simply to take a glance at a few of society's trills, via., the uihituul prevaricator, the disagreeably candid man, the inveterate braggart, the hair-brained coxcomb, the trades aian who pleases you with what Is in reality a "llohson's choice," anel so we might continue to enumeinte the tumbling blocks in the path eif human comfort. l'.ut nothing remains to be done, ex cept to hope, and wait, and feel con- ol..d In the reflection of the wise man s assurance that the world Is growing better, and to htm, as well ns to his labors, we owe most secred respect: for he Is the great toiler, and alas! so often th" least happy of men.

Tcrpslchorean Fame Not to Be Attained at a Single Bound Hard Work and Perseverance Necessary, so Says Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, the Well Known Teacher. From time Immemorial, dancing has been, among all nations, and in all Trades eif society, the most fascinating of indoor diversions, but never has It reached the degree of popularity at tained within the past few years. The old-time prejudice against round dunces, tho Idea that the position as sumed wns unrefined, or the results of the exercise unbeneftcial from a hy genic standpoint, has quite passed away, and even the most reluctant un believer has been forced to relinquish his cherished sentiments, and to admit that duncing, in moderation, is the cal isthenics par excellence for young and old. An Innate love for Terpsichore lurks in the hearts of all, and unless one be blase to an alarming extent, he could not fail to enjoy the magic swing of a dreamy waltz or the Inspiring exhilara tion of the two-step. Sousa, the March King, has been responsible in a meas ure for the remarkable popularity of the latter dance, and so long as his genius remains, the two-step will be much In evidence. A fad of the elay and a very pretty one, Is fancy dancing, not alone for children, but for children of a larger growth as well: "Men are only boys grown tall, hearts don't change much atter all," and there Is a certain charm In the graceful curves of a Spanish Cachuca, the jaunty dash of a Horn pipe, the stately dignity of the French Court Minuet, which one cannot, and would not, tr one could, resist. Such dancing is gaining steady hold. as was proven by the crowded houses at the recent Fete champetre. The in tense Interest shown by the spectators, the care and undoubted work given bv theise taking part, were not for sweet charity alone, but were prompted by a growing appreciation for characteristic dancing. To the unthinking public, such an ex hlbltlon Is taken for granted: it is free ly commented upon, is criticized, often unjustly; tne participants are flattered. but the one to whom credit Is due, the presiding genius, whose talent and thought, whose hours and d.ivs nnd weeks of mental and physical work have resulted in a marvelous, colossal thing oi ue-uuiy, wmcn Drings rest and am usement to thousands of people, is for gotten, quite too often, by a wofully large majority. The toftchlng of dancing has become an art, and has of late been taken up by women to a great extent. A woman of average intelligence, thrown upon her own resources, ono who has busi ness tact and an undaunted desire to succeed, can. In casting about for an occupation, do no better than Interest nerseit in dancing. She must have at least a year's In struction from a thoroughly competent teacher, and must not think thnt, be cause she has always been considered a graceful dancer her grace will be of commercial value without the knowl edge as to how to impart her Ideas to omers. bne must abjure society, nnd worn conscientiously, unfalteringly, showing interest for all. partiality for iione4and above all she must know thnt however painstaking she may be, there will aways be people to criticize her work. The discomforts, nevertheless, will be few, and will be more than counterbal anced by the kindly interest of tho ninny people who do nppreclat? her work; by tho knowledge thut she has eione ner nest, nnel lias gained for h"r self a fair income In a pleasant way.

To all who understand boys, and know the necessity thnt seems held uiKJii them to go somewhere, tho value of this scheme will be apparent. To substitute for aimless wandering in the streets at night, something that would build up the working boys morally and socially was the high ambition or eme who had long studied the needs and limitations of their lives. In this, up-he-ld by the gemerous sympathy of a few of like mind, she has succeeded, count ing ease ami social pleasure but light, as compared to the joy of this work. With small beginnings, whlcn had, however, rapid increase, this band was drawn together.

It is being discovered that the unbuilding of the working ele ment of a community Is a more reward ing enterprise than the ordinary ut llow of effort upon the tramp and hood lum. Especially throughout our min ing region is this the field of greatest promise. The 11. I. A. is just now ceieorating the first anniversary ef its home in the city hall. Subjoined is its appreciative song for the eice-aaion: We are coming city tamers, A good six hundred strong, To help you with the voting. And the time will not be long For the years are marching on. Hurrah! Hurrah! six hundred votes to cast against the rum. Six hundred votes for righteous rule, for jeiy. and peace, and home. As we go marching on!

The moonbe'ams kiss the Orient shade, Iiut stillness lingers o'er the glade. And purple fruit and springing flower No longer blush in Eden's bower. For print of slaughter's foot is there. And husjied is dying Christian's prayer. The reddened waters, deep and dark, No more are graced by sky or barque. And the low breeze that lifts the leaf Is like an angel's touch of grief. But, hark! a cry rings wild and clear, A cry of anguish and of fear. Each shaded nook, and mountain plain Re-echoes loud and shrill again. Till carried on by wind and tide, A world has caught it, far and wide. An aged captive clanks his chain, The cruel darts are in his brnin. And blood ilows from his sightless eyes, Yet still in faith to Heaven he cries. He calls on man, but calls In vain, For Europe's God, Is god of gain. The triple shnm hns doubled power. But fools away the sacred hour. True, Albion's sons would cross tho steel Of Ishmael's sons and make them feel, The cross is yet the honored name That still will show a Saviour's fame; Hut the low snarl of Kusslan Bear, Has made them pause In Bad despair. Kranue flings her lilies at the feet Of Allah's prince and bows de-feat While shame on shame the Turk be guiles. Wipes his red blade nnd broadly smiles, Then orders out his friends again To revel in Armenia's pain. Oh, sister woman, some may be As treacherous as the changing sea.

Ood! let the Star and Crescent pale, Before her strength shall ever fall. And wrap her In Thy sheen of power Through every trial of the hour, ITntll upon her native shore.
