TEACH d
HOWTOiSSEE1
New Methods Being Tried In
the Public Schools.
TO AVOID NEARSIGHTEDNESS,
Syttem Was Used For Eight Years In
North Dakota With Much Success.
Improper Use of Eyes, Not Study,
Cause of Defective Vision.
Teaching the children how to sec
and thereby conserving eyesight and
preventing many of them from going
through life with spectacles Is the
newest development In the public
schools.
Statistics of the board of health Indi
cate that about 17 per cent of the pu
pils of the public schools are short
sighted. It Is the latest theory that
this myopia frequently develops from
straining of the eyes by the pupils In
their efforts to sec distinctly.
In the experiments now under way
the eyes of the children are trained by
exercises In correct seeing by means
of optical test cards. The pupils are
naked dally to test their eyes by read
ing the cards, which are placed ou the
walls of the schoolrooms. It bus been
found beneficial to rest the eyes from
study by looking up occasionally and
reading the cards. This has a tenden
cy to eliminate eye strain and to give
normal vision.
The system was tried for eight years
in the public schools of Grand Forks,
N. D., and there is a record of 10,000
cases of pupils who have tried the sys
tem under the direction of their teach
ers. An article In the New York Med
ical Journal sets forth that after eight
years' work the examination of 2.000
pupils in the public schools of that
city revealed that less than 1 per cent
were myopic. The previous percent
age had been 0.
Books and much study are not what
cause shortsightedness, according to
this theory, but the Improper use of
the eyes. The myopia is often due to
a miscalculation of distances nnd to un
necessary straining. It Is found that
the keen sighted eagle of the air when
placed in a cage will often so little ad
just bis eyes to his new surroundings
that be becomes nearsighted withlu a
few months.
There are many cases in the schools
of other defects of vision, such as as
tigmatism. The present experiments,
however, are undertaken for the solo
purposu of correcting shortsightedness.
It is believed that pupils often are
thought to bo stupid or obstinate,
when, as a matter of fact, they are
meiely shortsighted. Educators are
much interested in the present experi
ments, and special attention also is be
ing given to lighting, the size of type
nnd other details which concern the
preservation of normal vision.
PLAN JOAN OF ARC STATUE.
To Erect $30,000 Memorial to Her at
New York.
A movement has been started to
erect a statue in New York to Joan of
Arc, the Maid of Orleans, by means
of popular subscription. Tho me
morial will cost $30,000, nnd the com
mittee in charge of the project con
sists of Dr. George F. Kunz. chair
man; John D. Crimmlns, McDougall
Hawkes and Dr. Edward Hngaman
Hall. The committee already has
000 toward the fund. In a statement
the committee says:
"In doing honor to her memory we
are honoring one of the noblest of
women and one of the grandest mani
festations of patriotism in the world's
history. Her fame is not confined to
the boundaries of her native land. It
is world wide, nnd all who wish to
render homage to a bright nnd puro
type of womanhood and to true pa
triotism can find no more fitting oc
casion than this."
Dr. Kunz said a large collection of
medals of Joan of Arc. including
twelve in gold, ninety-three in silver
nnd ninety-seven in bronze and intend
ed by their purchaser, J. Sanford Sul
tus, for the American Numismatic (so
ciety, Is now on its way to the Unltt-d
States.

Pennsylvania as Producer of Fruit.
Dr. H. A. Surface, tho State Zoolo
gist, is preparing the list of demon
stration orchards in which Pennsyl
vania State officials and demonstra
tions will show farmers and orchard
owners how to increase tho value of
their fruit many per cent, and the
doctor says that he is fairly swamp
ed by applicants.
"Last year we could caro for only
about 900 orchards," said he. "This
year 1 think we will bo able to take
care of about i,200, although so far
I have received applications from
almost 1,700 owners who want to
have their orchards put on the list.
Of course, we havo not tho funds to
caro for that many model orchards,
but we are going to lay out tho list
with regard for geographical and
population considerations. Tho list
will be given out soon.
"While I am about it," remarked
the zoologist, "I want to commend
to the favorable notice of the people
of Pennsylvania tho exhibition of the
products of Pennsylvania to begin
in Duquesne Gardens, Pittsburg,
next week. People who do not
think this State Is a great fruit-raising
State aro due to get their eyes
opened. 1 have arranged to send in
about three carloads of apples from
orchards which have received at
tention the way the State adminis
tration points out. Some of theso
orchards wore considered no good,
but tho trees, .after being dehorned,
are now bearing better than ever.
The exhibition will be an object les
son." IF

And lose, and start again at your

And never breathe a word about

If you can force your heart and

To serve your turn long after they

Except the will which says to them;
"Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and

PRINCETON
NOTABLE
Institution Trebled In Num
bers During Incumbency
of James McCosh.
THE choico of Dr. John Qrlet fllb
ben as president of Princeton
recalls the fact that the uni
versity has had many great
presidents. Some of the most earnest
and successful presidents in the list,
uch as John Wltherspoon in the
eighteenth century and Jnmcs McCosh,
who came almost precisely a century
after him, were Scots.
While the list contains the names of
famous native Americans as well, it
would be hard to say whether Prince
ton's old world presidents or those
taken from among the New England
divines did more to advance the condi
tion of the college. In general the fa
mous Princeton college presidents hare
been those who stayed by the institu
tion for long terms of years. They
usually have ended their careers work
ing until the timo was ripe for their
letlrcment.
The Itov. Aaron Burr, the famous
Aaron's father, was on Instance of
this. IIo was made president at the
time when the removal of tho young
Institution from Elizabeth to the pres
ent slto was still n project. Nor was
it known by the title so familiarized
of lato by the college cheer of now
adays. It began Its usefulness under
the humble if picturesque title of the
Log college. And until quite recent
years the namo of College of the State
of New Jersey for formal uses stuck
to it.
President Burr had more to do with
the upbuilding of the college thnn can
well bo realized without bearing In
mind the great distance that the Jer
sey institution has- traveled from its
small beginnings.
Of most of tho Princeton presidents
it is true that each has contributed
something during his term of office to
tho permanent advancement, of the
university. President Burr's contribu
tion was In the outline of university
working plans with schedule of
courses, rules of government, nnd so
on. It wns the misfortune of Jonathan
Edwards, the otherwise famous Con
necticut Calvlnist, thnt he died too
soon to leave any deep mark on the
college In formation.
The Princeton library.
The Princeton library had Its origin
In the patient efforts of President
Samuel Davies, who succeeded Ed
wards. The present library building,
needless to say, dates from the univer
sity's comparatively recent architec
tural period.
Samuel Flnley was the chief ad
ministrator, chief magistrate, chief col
lege patriot and chief scholar and
teacher nt the institution, after the
fashion of the collego presidents of
old. He ruled nnd taught from 1701
to 1700.
John Wltherspoon, the next succeed
ing president, signed the Declaration
of Independence in his quality not of
university head, but of American Whig
and revolutionary. And yet he was a
native of Scotland and dwelt there for
tho whole first part of his life. He
was n descendant of John Knox on his
mother's side. As a young man he
witnessed some of the fighting in the
rebellion of 1745 and was even mnde
prisoner by mistake In the course of
one of tho battles. They brought him
over from Scotland to take the presi
dency of Princeton, which' he accepted
after a first refusal.
Wltherspoon as a tax: gatherer from
the philanthropic must have, despite
his grand old time scholastic airs, look
ed astonishingly like n modern college
president bis methods were so similar.
His tour to raise funds netted the In
stitution many a pound sterling.
Witherspoon a Signer.
A heroic statue of Wltherspoon may
be recalled by those who know Fnlr
mount park, Philadelphia. The statue
was put there In the- Centennial year,
1870. Wltherspoon did severnl things
to deserve It. He served In the Conti
nental congress, signed the Declara
tion of Independence ami noted on sun
dry Important committees. On May
17, 1770, the day of appointed fasting
nnd prayer in the colonies, he prenched
a sermon at the college on "Tho Do
minion of Providence Over tho Pas
sions of Men," which is pronouueed by
those who havo read it to be a remark-
nble and vigorous Whig argument
against the British.
Wltherspoon labored at the head of

than $1,000 a year, and ho will retire

HAS HAD
PRESIDENTS
Witherspoon Was a Signer
of the Declaration of
Independence.
Princeton until Uio end of his life,
though in his Inter years ho censed
teaching and took to a farm near by
tho collcce. Ills memory Is knit In
note by Wltherspoon hall among the )
present university buildings. Only four (
presidents Intervened between Wlth-(
erspoon and his like In the nineteenth
century, McCosh. They were Samuel I
Stanhope Smith, who Inaugurated the '
first Instruction in chemistry given In
an American college; Ashbel Green, ,
who ruled from 1812 to 1822; James
Cnrnhnn, during whose thlrty-ono
years' tenure a law school was main
tained from 1810 to 1802 and finally 1
abandoned for lack of funds, and John
MacLcan, president through the civil
war.
Great Work of McCosh. 1
James McCosh, the president of the
majority of the elder Princeton gradu-
atcs of today, left as deep as lmpres- '
slon on the university as any of those !
who had preceded him, and a succes
sor so stimulating to the great school
has not yet been found. Dr. McCosh
was born in Scotland in 1811 nnd lived
there all his life until called oversea
to Princeton In 18G8. He was a keen
student and writer and an advocate of
the views of Prcsbyterlanism in that
field between science and dogmatism
opened up by the Darwinian Ideas.
A divine, like all the early presi
dents of Princeton, McCosh wrote
books that laymen read. It is said
that his first Important preferment
came from the Earl of Clarendon's
reading ono of his books, "The Method :
of Divine Government," in 1802. The
full story Is that the earl, at that time j
lord lieutenant of Ireland, took up the I
book after breakfast ono Sunday
morning, read on and on and complete-
ly forgot about church until it was I
too late nnd sen-ice all over. At all 1
events, the sequel brought McCosh an I
appointment as professor in Queen's I
college, Ireland. I
Ills fame was carried to this coun- 1
try with his books. In 18CS the col- j
lege trustees decided on his nccount to j
go once more abroad for a president.
Dr. McCosh differed from his talented i
prototype, Wltherspoon, in coming to !
this country not just before but Just j
after a great war. He foil upon peace- j
ful times. Public affairs outside of i
the institution called forth Uttle of his
energies. But at Princeton be was a
great and continual leader. The grad
uates of the classes from ISC!) to- 1SSS.
and indeed to his death, remember
him as they do nothing else about
their college experience. Later grad
uates who came too late to have Mc
Cosh are looked upon with a certain
pity.
Fully one-third of the student body j
used to attend the lectures of McCosh j
when he wns at the height of his pow- j
crsr for he was an educator of the
old school, not only the ruler of the
scholastic realm, but its first and fore
most professor.
Patton and Wilson.
Men who are acquainted with mod
ern Princeton nnd its hosts of nurse
lings nnd pedagogues may not be
aware how much of this magnitude
came during McCosh's time. When
the Scottish dlvlno took hold in 1S08
Priuceton had sixteen professors- and
but 204 students. From that starting
point the institution roughly trebled in
numbers during his incumbency. Like
growth took place in tho Princeton
finances, while tho campus, speaking
architecturally, might almost be said
to Cute- from his time.
Wbeu the successful and beloved
president resigned In the spring of
18SS it was because of advancing years
and not to take up any other line of
activity. ITe spent his last days at
Princeton anil remained Identified with
it to the end.
In his successor, Francis L.. Patton,
the university was ruled again by n
divine of foreign birth. Dr. Pattou is
a native of Bermuda. Previous to his
' presidency nud also since It- taught In
. tlu Princeton Theological Bomlnnry.
President Wilson's term of office- at
! Princeton proved that character and
I diplomacy must have their hands full
! to maintain order In the- growing and
I changing institution. Great decisions
I regarding the university's future plans
I were taken during Dr. Wilson's brief
term of olllce. Among these steps wero
the tutorial system and the planning
of the grnduato school.
URGES GIRLS TO GET MEN.
Take Advantage of Leap Year, Says
Mrs. Barney-Hemmick.
Mrs. Barnoy-IIemniiek of Washing
ton, who last year at tho npo of sixty
became Uio bride of Christian Ilem
mlck, a clubman, aged twcuty-slx, de
clared that the girls of today aro too
slow and full to take advantage of
leap year.
"Leap year ls a great Institution,
' she said. "I wish It could be arranged
somo way so It could come every year.
Girls should be moro forward nud pro
1 grosslvc. Why bould they not change
from the defensive to the aggressive?
Yes, girls, take advnntago of your leap
year opportunities and pray for leap
vcar to come often."

Professor Brainier .Matthews of Co
lumbla university In u lecture deliver
cd before a cIimh In American litem
ture predicted that the Uulted States
was due to have another war about
1030.
"If the low of the succession ol
events holds and If the American peo
ple hnve not changed In their national
character another great war U apt to
take place about the years 1020 to
1030," he said. "I derive my conclu
sions for the possibility of such an
event from the repetition of wars as
they have occurred In American his
tory during the pnst 1C0 years. Histo
ry repeats itself, and the logical Infer
ence Is that another war will taU
place about 1030."
Professor Matthews believes that l!
uch a war should occur the United
Stntcs Is apt to be In the wrong. "With
the rapid increase of wealth and popu
lation." he said, "our nation Is likely to
take the part of the bully. The people,
in recognition of their strength, may
display a public opinion in favor ol
war. and unless the work of the arbi
trators Is effective unnecessary slaugh
ter may result."
GOVERNMENT OWNED SHOPS.
Victor Berger Urges Them For Gov
ernment Employees.
Government owned department store
for the use of Uncle Sam's 50,000 em
ployees nt Washington are advocated
in a bill introduced In the house by Vic
tor L. Berger, the Socialist represent.!
tlve from Milwaukee. The bill call
for an appropriation of $1,000,000 for
tho establishment of a number of
stores orgnnized and operated on the
general lines of the commissary storr
in the canal zone, isthmus of Panama.
Representative Berger asks "that the
secretary of the Interior nt the earlier
practicable time establish in the city
of Washington nt suitable places stor.'
for the sale at cost price of staple com
niodjtles to all employees of the fed
eral government." A clause in Ber
ger's bill provides for tbo extension
of facilities already at hand until such
time as tho chain of stores is complet-
ed. This clause reads
iri. ...t..tt . . , .
That the privilege of purchasing tt
cosi prices commouities rrom tne no-
