Tho frequency of tho remarks that

makes a Hoarclty of labor; It taxes tho
future for an indefinite period and
spends the tax money at once In lavish
Bums; and It enables a handful of cap

rirofuso expenditure of money, This

Verestchagin, the Itusslan painter

Georire Collins, a young man, was
laniiod In St. Louis recently. A few
hours before his execution ho said In
an Interview with a newspaper report
er: "Mr parents never gavo mo a
show." Nor did ho say this becauso
of pique, nor to Justify himself. An
revealed by his life's history what
lio said was true. Tho boy did not
got a fair chance at life. In fact his
parents gavo him no chance at nil.
lis father and mother were unfit for
parenthood. They allowed their son
to u row un In the streets. Thcro was
no homcalmospliero nor Influence nor
training. Tho only training was In
the direction of evil. Very early In
Ifo young Collins came Into conflict
with the nollco. They pronounced lilm
a bad lot and finally had him sent to
"tho reform school. In this school
Collins simply took a post graduate
n vice. After thus fitting himself for
a crlmlnnl career ho was released to
prey upon socloty. The road to tho
scaffold was a short one. Primarily
the blame rests with tho parents. Had
they given him a fair chance no count
then blame himself for his wrong
doing. Ills father and mother sent
dm to the gallows. The lesson of
lis mlssnent life is for parents: He-
gin the education of your boy beforo
u Is born with yourself.
During a discussion at the Chlcagf.
Woman'B Club Professor Arnold Tomp-
tins of the Chicago Normal School
said: "A man should dress well so
should n woman but not too well; ho
should comb, but not too well; ho
should write well, but not too well,
and he should spell, but not too well.
'he press recently criticised high
school pupils because they were poor
spellers. It was the highest compll-
ment ever paid to them, because It
proved thoy wero In better business."
Another speaker Indorsed tills notion
bv declaring that there wero moro Im
portant things In education than good
polling, and that the time was coming
when tho poor speller would no longer
bu considered Illiterate. From theso
assertions and others like them which
proceed from tho months of school
teachers we may Infer that a contempt
for spelling is being rather assiduous-
y cultivated by a considerable numbei
of our modern educators, and tho
question arises whether they aro not
nvltlng contempt for themselves. It
s to be noted, moreover, that they can
put forward no superior claims to an-
thorlty In tho matter, becauso the losi
of the valuo of spelling Is not confined
to the classroom. It Is being applied
every day In business and In the pro
fessions. The high school boy who la
assured by Professor Tompkins thai
the censure of his errors In spelling U
n fact a compliment may find that
the more ho Justifies such compliments
he moro dlflleult It will bo for hi in
to secure tho favorable attontlon oi
thoso upon whom ho depends for em
ployment. That Is a phase of the sub
cct that; is of very great practical lm
portanco, and that admits, we should
say, of little difference of opinion
among persons of experience In tht.
world's work. It Is a fair conclusion
nlso that where slovenliness Is encour
aged In ono branch of study Its Inllu
enco Is likely to be felt In others, and
f there aro occasionally Instances from
which It nppears that poor spelling and
broad general culturo aro not Incom
patible they aro to be taken as curi
ous exceptions. Furthermore, when

Important things in education thai

of particulars; also to proof that inact
curacy In spelling Instead of being tin
sign of general slovenliness Is evi
dence of devotion to tho moro import
taut things. Upon tho whole, it would
seoin that tho high school boy Is gob
ting slops when he needs discipline,
and If a professor may defy the inlet
with Impunity the boy enjoys no audi
privilege. In this connection a storj
