One Result of mi Evil System.
T11K Hoi-hosier Dpiiiocr.it and
Cln-onlilu, eomitioii lliiK" edi
torially on the discovery
that Miss Mabel I.. Hurt, the
yoiiiiR woman who confesses to the
theft of watches anil jewelry from her
fellow-students at Smith coMcro. Mas
sachusetts. Is the victim of mental de
rangement hroiiKht on hy ovorstudy in
the MiIbIUoii iircpnratloii IiIkIi sehool,
and Its affording a possible explana
tion of her otherwise unaccountable
conduct, makes some pertinent re
marks on "the evil fruits of the forc
ing process."
It relates what came out in the legal
investigation of tho case, that three
days before her graduation at lirlghton
she was notified that her rank as a
scholar entitled her to valedictory hon
ors, and shn wrote tho address on a
dlltieult subject in time for the com
mencement. "The previous strain of
Intense application was tints supple
mented by unexpected pressure, and,
young as she was. her mind seems to
have received an abnormal bias in the
direction of kleptomania."
uur Koencsior contemporary makes
noto of tile existence of a habit in the
press to speak sneerlngly of tbis mania
as simply a line name for plain steal
ing. Bui, making all due allowances
for cas-s In which this may bo true,
there arc real instances of iL as Insane
mania. II goes on to quote, tho con
clusions of several eminent physicians
who have examined Miss Hurt and
have taken into account not only the
peculiarities of her conduct, but tho
conditions apparently leading up to
them, and have pronounced her ment
ally deranged.
As the Democrat and Chronicle says,
"the case deserves general notice only
because of the suggestions It affords
vesai-dkic tho perils of ovorstudy in
our schools." Of the results tlteso per
ils bring about In great numbers of
cases it summarizes whole classes or
them in a way that every thoughtful
reader of the daily news knows In be
true. It says: "Sometimes the effects
take the form of nervous prostration.
The system suddenly breaks down
completely and tho victim becomes a
mental and physical wreck. In other
cases the brain alone is affected, while
the physical powers retain their accus
tomed vigor. .Melancholia often ensues
and the newspapers repeatedly an
nounce the suicide of students upon
some trivial pretext, such as a rebuke
from parents or teachers, or a failure
to pass an examination. In nearly
every such case tho trouble Is duo to
unnatural and cruel over-stimulation
as a result of a system of study In
many of our schools which goads
young and growing youths into un
flagging exertion to pass creditable ex
aminations." Of this juggernaut idol of written ex
aminations and averages made up front
them Instead of from each pupil's daily
sehool work, our contempoiary goes on
to speak, and to answer the false and
wornout excuses for It made hy Its ad.
vacates: "It Is said by apologists for
this system that It Is adjusted to the
average intelligence of pupils, and that
while the brighter ones easily cover
and exceed It only the dull hut consci
entious scholars have to subject
themselves to the strain which Imper
ils health. That Is plauslblo hut not
always In accordance with tho facts."
ii proceeds, wttll clear Insight Into
the truth that this paper has been en
EfiKod in stating, to point out that "tho
new plan now hi voruo in snmo cities,
of penlfittlng the ready learners to ad
vance jto higher grades as they excel
their sttotver clussmatcs, Is a rational
one arid, If Intelligently applied, will
pill nti' end to much of the trouble
L-aused;Jiy..tho old system under which
efforts'-were perpetually mado to forco
dull pupils into a IMIIIiir pace so as to
secure, a general high standing for
their grade.
"Tho schools are maintained not for
the benefit' of teachers, superintendents
or school boards, hut for thc-benotlt of
the pupils, To sacrifice tho welfare or
the pupils to tho ambition of teachers
nr officials is In tv high degree eoiisur-
able."

istration of the schools there tho now
and butter way has largely come In.

TIIK TjKOAij proceedings re
cently begun by citizens of
Xorlrslown lo restrain the
local authorities from ac
cepting n gift from Andrew' faitiegle
for the erection of it library build
ing and the beginning of a library,
caused the Philadelphia Times to in
stitute an Inriuhy Into Hie way Mr.
I'arnegle's library gifts are looked nt
In some other towns. Mr. t'arnegle's
Rifts, iim now perfectly well under
stood, are conditioned upon the towns
r.cci'ptlng them pledging themselves to
appropriate yearly ten per cent, of the
amount of his donation, to keep up the
library.
The Times a few days ago published
replies to Its question from nine
municipalities In this stale. Of these,
Heading Is the only one from whence
til- reply comes that public olllchila
and people would welcome the gift
with Its conditions. This, although
tho city alieady.has one free library.
Wllkos-Harre says no: the Osterhout
free library Is all.it wants, but It
would "be glad to accept a donation
from Mr. Carnegie, or some other
wealthy man, for tho Hoys' Industrial
association."
Altoona says It has a free library
"established some years ago by the
Pennsylvania railroad and maintained
tiy it, wiiicli fullills all tile require
ments of the average Carnegie library
and does not cost the city n penny."
Allenlown says no. as to a. library.
If Mr. Carnegie would give Slfld.niin
to Muhlenberg college there, condi
tioned on citizens and others raising
an equal sum, the mayor says that
would bo acceptable. Lancaster, West
Chester, AVIlllamsport, Chester and
Chambersburg say no. Tho public
funds are wanted in oacli tar more
for other public Improvements than
for putting Into yearly library appro
priations as conditioned hy Mr. Car
negie. Across the Atlantic, as the world
is aware from tho pother made over
Mr. Carnegie's Scottish universities
gift, ho has chosen another line than
library founding for his donations.
Now, according to information cabled
over from London, the gift has stirred
up intense jealousy for tho sake ot
some of Jhigland's higher Institutions,
notably London ' university. with
which both parliament and "the
wealthy sons of the founders of tho
institution" are charged as dealing
with a. degree of Illlberallty amount
ing to intense meanness.
Ono London educational paper is
quoted by the correspondent as look
ing farther abroad than Mr. Carne
gie's .Scottish contribution. It notes
American men's gifts to education.
Such benefactions as, for instance,
Mr. Hockeleller's lo the University or
Chicago, it says "are glorious." it
asks, reviewing Hie London univer
sity's situation: "Is there no wealthy
citiyen sulliciently patriotic to emu
late his example'.' Is there any ex
patriated llrltish millionaire in tho
United States who will conic to tho
rescue of institutions whose founders
were in their day veiy advanced edu
cational reformers, the men who lirst
suggested that science, thorn deemed
an upstart and intruder, lind a claim
to recognition in the curriculum'."'
The ecu respondent closes his account
of Kiigllsh feeling and published com
ments by saying: "It is literally true
that .Mr. Carnegie's gift has done more
to open tho eyes of Hrllons to tho
real souice of America's swift ad
vance to the foremost place among
the nations than Mr. Cleveland's
Venezuelan message, which they sus
pected of being a. bluff, and Mr. Mor
gan's organization of the sleel trust,
which is the most serious menace that
ever hung over their industrial sys
tem," "That," as Kudyard Kipling used to
say, "is another story," hut It is one
most closely related In sequence lo
tho story of library Riving and uni
versity endowments.

Country Living.
-T-Ur: STORY of Ms
I Sanborn's beautifying
Kate
and
rehabilitating an aban
doned New Kngland farm
that successive tenants had taken
everything possible from while giving
the ground nothing In return, Is one
of a. number of hitch experiments
sucessfully made in New Kuglaud.
There have been enough of these lo
prove conclusively that the wlso ap
plication of agricultural science to
what Is called worn-out land, wIM
tlchly repay tlms-n who make t. ,u
olher Instance Is thai of Mr. .1. How
ard Hole, who raised In one year a
crop of peaches that wild for $7,")0
from a Connecticut farm that shrewd
lenders had refused to consider n loan
of $3,000 upon. That was n. beglnninqr.
Ho hits made It pay far better in the
years that have followed,
The healing of tills observa
tion, llko those of Cnplu'lu Cut
tle, lies In tho application of
it. Technical and scientific! knowl
edge is valuable. In every busl
ness. There Is none in which 11 pays
more thoioughly than tho farmer's.
Out In tho wide west they have
learned this so far as It relates to
tho farmer himself nnd his "hands,"
Tho word now comes from Michigan
that farm life is to be madu easier
and ploasanter for the farmer's nvifo
and daughters. It Is time, and mora
than time, that in every part of tho
country It should bo made so. As t ho
llrst step In tho Michigan plan the
steam "dairy," in other words the
creamery, is to huvo wherever it Is
situated a steam co-operatlvo laun
dry beside it Tho two can bo "vis
ited" together.
There is abundant call for maklng
llfft of tho farm easier for the
women nnd younger .people. When
thut h studied out u little more, at
t
fanners' Institutes and In tho home
by men who are quite lendy to avail
themselves of every modern nld to
make otildonr work moro easy for
theinselve.', there will bo fewer coun

T
I IH PIIOI'L!-' who say the Pan-
Ametlcan Is trivial affair, not
worth visiting in Its present
condition, don't know anything about
the situation. It is amazingly big In
mtny respects and Is amply Interest
ing enough to pay for nil the neces
sary expense. You are sure to be
surprised at Its magnitude and
beauty, Whatever your precon
ceived Ideas may have been as to Its
completeness, you will not he dis

little will remain unfinished.

In th-- first place, P.tiffalo Is the
nicest place In the world, next to
Scrnnton Nobody can blame 'the
Lackawanna Iron and Steed people
for wanting to come here to stay. If
1 couldn't live In Scrnnton, I'd rather
be in Hnrfalo than anywhere. The
magnificent streets and their, beau
tiful neatness are a joy forever. Then
they don't have any flat wheels and
you never have to wait for a car. I
haven't felt a tint wheel 'since I've
been here, and the cars are all twins,
summer cars and long, clean closed
ones you take your choice. M'he
system is excellent In getting to and
from the exposition. You are never
crowded In going out, and at the
grounds in admirable arrangement of
many I racks und-r a colossal shed
gives npnorlunity for securing scats
In almost any of the Innumerable
cars assembled at that point.
You enter tho Midway almost a?
soon as you pass the liiinstlle, and it
winds In a zlg-zaggy fashion at once
mystifying and delightful. There
are all sorts of tilings you want and
do not want to see. Til tell you all
about them tomorrow, yo that you

not all, and the people who can get

are superior to the average run of
mankind Three nights are not enough
to hear (he lovely mush; and see the

Hut, remember one thing. You
want your overcoat and your seal

like a wolf on the fold In Hllffalo
at night, and It goes lo your very

All the Blow of the electrical dis

Huffaio skies always frown In the
morning, You arise and look out of

You put on your oldest gown, your

DIG DEMAND FOR WORK.
Director Roche Besieged Dally by
Crowds of Men.
The demand for employment on tho
streets as day laborers has, within the
past two or threo weeks surpassed all
previously established records. Direc
tor of Public Works Hoche lias been
implored, beseached. cajoled and
threatened with all forts of dire things
in turn.
lie sum yesterday that for every J
place to be tilted there were ten or
llffeen applicants, ninny of them tell
ing tho most piteous hard luck stories.
A large percentage of the men apply
Ihg for Work are strikers, ho says, who
have begun to feel the effects of the
long drawn out struggle between cap
ital nnd labor.
Thor.o are now about one hundred
men at work on the city's streets, and
Director Itoehe Is doing all In his pow
er to give every man a chance. Men
are worked for two weeks nnd nrc then
laid off to give other men a chance to

dressiness to any .costume
and that harmonizes with the
thin fluffy dress materials of

Here is an opportunity for some ambitious young people to
cam the best college education without a great amount of effort,
and it is an opportunity that may never be repeated. . The Trib
une may find the returns much less than the expense.and would
then be unable to again make such generous offers. Such a con
dition will be Jhe Tribune's loss and the contestants' gain.
There are many young men, and young women, too, who
would be glad of an opportunity to "work their way through col
lege," in fact, the presidents of these institutions are deluged with
applications for chances of this kind. Here the work for an entire
course of four years can all be accomplished in three small months,
and an education that would cost in cash $1,000 is assured with
out further outlay. Parents should urge their boys and girls to
enter the contest and work for one of the special rewards. One
of the eight is within the reach of everyone who really tries.
Send a letter to The Tribune for full particulars, including
handsomely illustrated booklet. Address,
