That our present scheme of popular educa tlon neglects the moral and physical force cf the children and trains the head at 111 expepso of the hand was admirably emphasized sized by Dr. Cmll O. Hlrsch of Chicago 1 an address delivered before the West En Woman'n club of that city. The Times Herald soys of It : "It was a strong nppci "for n public education that trains the ban ( and the eye as well as the head. Dr. Illrscl In common with the best educators of 01 times , believes that the chief defect In ov public school svstem conies from Its fallui to hold the Interest of boys , who by the natural endowments require something IK sides mcro mental processes for a complcl nnd well-rounded development of their fncu ties. ( A normally constructed hey rannc bo expected to maintain any continuity < Interest Inwork that consists largely I memorizing or "conning by rote. " Ho Is n < by nature a "conning" animal. " Unless I has been coddled In a hot-house atmosphei and has been nffemlnattd nnd softened t employments that repress his boyish pri cllvltles , he has a strong desire to do semi thing with his hands. In him the coustrui tlvo Instinct Is strong until It Is smothen by the curriculum of thu public schools. "That this defect In the public schoi rurrlcull Is generally reiognlzed Is ov danced by the number of private tnstlti lions that have sprung up all over tl country to supply one of the manifest noei of a boj's education , a training that taki account of the fact that n boy cannot I properly nnd broadly developed by pacl Ing hla cranium with laboriously memorize facts. It Is true that many high schoo In the larger cities have recognized th need b ; adding manual training depar menti and n few have established wcl equipped workshops supplied with model wood-working machinery nnd machinist tools , nut the ( > ubllc schools as a ru ure operated In conformity with a cu rlculum that Is framed upon the tlieo that a boy consists entirely of a globul repository filled with memorizing faculty. "It is not designed that the public schoc shall turn out carpenters or cablnc makers or machinists , no more than th should turn out bookkeepers or doctoi Hut the opportunity to gratify the mechat cal Inetlnct by the use ot the hands for i hour each day , thereby giving play to t tonitructlvo nnd creative faculty , affords mental relaxation that enables a boy the lesions of the books wllh greater zeal nnJ greater nurress " nal Noten , John H.

U Is the dcilrc of the committee of the alumni of Columbia university having charge of the fund for the building ot the Alumul Memorial hall to have tbo sum raised to at least $100,000 by next commence- ncnt day , June 7. Already the fund amount ! to more than JCl.OOO , which has been con tributed by 1'JO alumni In sums varying from $ to $5,000. Several classes have signified their Intention of raising memorial funds of from $2,000 to $10,000. $ The proposed hall will bo built as a part of University hall , nnd will fccrvu ns a dining-room for the officers nnd students , as well ns a meeting place for the alumni on such occasions as their annual dinners and reunions. The movement for the study of the Irish language In Ireland has met nn obstacle In the opposition of n numbir of prominent Irish cducjlnrfi , among whom arc Dr. Ma- haffy nnd lr. ) Atkinson , both of Dublli : university. Dr. Atkinson Is regarded ns the greatest living authority on the Irish lan- gungo nnd literature , nnd might have been expected to favor the proposed renascence , but ho takei the surprising ground that the mass of cxttint Irish literature , Including Uio modern folklore , Is too Indecent for popular teaching. Sir William .McDonald , tho'tobncco manu facturer of .Montreal , has made another generous gift to McGlll university. This tlmo It Is the School ot Mining which Is benefited , nnd the Rift Is largo enough to provide the services of a lecturer , n demon strator , nn assistant nnd ti complete stuff ot mechanics. With the recent endowment by the same benefactor of the professional chulr this gives the school n complete staff. The amount of Sir William's present dona tion has not been mndo public , but Is said to bo about $300 000 and raises the total sum that ho has given to the university to over $3,000,000. _ MR.

CluirxeN for llettirnliiK War Iliillooi It is understood that ono of the Omul railroads has agreed to transport the goi ornment's war balloon and Its nppurtenanci Jrom this city to Washington for nboi $1,000.

Bojce. an ox- police officer , to compel the Board of Flro nd Police Commissioners to reinstate him In the department. This is similar to a. number of previous cases In which the writ has been granted. In this Instance , how ever , It developed that Boyco had been sus pended for cause and the court refused to order the board to reinstate him. The Meyer-Michaels replevin case , which has been the exclusive attraction In Judge Keysor's room during the last ten days , has finally been ended. The Jury returned a ver dict In which It was found that the stock ol jewelry In controversy was the property ol the defendant and that he was entitled to damages to the amount ot $081.28 on account of Its detention.

The sunshine nnd balmy atmosphere of Sunday brought out the wheelers'of both cxcs In considerable numbers As one consequence of thle , Innumerable maledic tions wcro heaped upon the holds of ell } officials by these who attempted to rise on some of the streets of the city Never In the history of Omaha , as the old timers say , have the principal pn\ed streets , es peclally thoao down town , been In sues bad nnd dangerous condition. The winter has been a > ery eevero one upon the pavements , nnd the consequence Is that dangerous holct pop up before the wheelmen ns they whirl along nnd InMtc perilous falls unites n very sharp lookout It kept.

The worst of the streets appear to be North Sixteenth , Cumlng and North Twenty-fourth Some of the paved thor oughfares down town nre ns bad. During the evening traveling by blcjclo Is n ( Ii1- cldedly dangerous occupation. On North Twcntj-fourth street near I'nul nn acci dent occurred that almost resulted In broken Units , nnd did demolish a blc > cle. At this point the pavement was torn up last win ter in order to make connections. It has not been replaced and a big heap of dirt Is feet beside the hole. Early Sunday even ing a tantlem bearing a man and woman struck this obstruction. The riders wore eent flying through the air , but fortunately escaped with only painful bruises. Tne front wheel of the blc > clo was smashed. The paving companies that have the con tract for keeping the streets in repair nnd others which arc required to keep streets In good condition , under their guarantee , have not jet commenced work. On some of the streets some time may elapse before nny repairing - pairing Is done because of tbo fact that con tracts have expired nnd new ones have not jet been entered into. This Is the case with North Sixteenth street from Douglas to Izard. This contract expired last December. The city council is talking oC entering Into new contracts for repairs , but as there Is some doubt just what sort of a contract will ho made , it may be some tlmo before nnj- thlng is done. Although they may not be aware of It , blcjclo riders arc deeply concerned in the intention of the city council to assess the cost of all iciulra against adjoining prop erty Instead of p-jing for them out of the general fund. This will bo so , especially , if It Is decided that no repairing can be ordered by the council unless It Is petitioned for , as the city attorney bolloves is required by the charter. If a property owner refuses to pay for the repairing of a street by declining to sign a petition the street will remain in bad condition forever. run ivnsTnu.v virrniiAass of tinCl > II AVnr llciucm- Itt'ird ! > > tin * UiMicral Cioeminent. .

Tlioiii > H ( > ii CoiniilitliiH to Ucput } County Attorncj. , \ family disturbance broke the monotony Sunday afternoon nbout 3 o'clock at thu home ot Mrs. George F. Thompson , 202 Nortli Forty-fourth street. It was caused by the appearance of George Thompson , who wanted to sec his 2-jcar-old sou , ho and his .vlfo . having separated several months ago. Mrs. Thompson called nt the central station esterday and complained to the deputy county attorney , as she wanted her husband arrested. Mrs. Thompson said It has been the cus tom of her husband to call on Sundajs to see the boy. Ho had boon admonished not to bring any of his sisters with him as they wcro not on good terms w Ith the family. Ho paid no attention to this warning , however , and appeared Sunday afternoon with one of bis sisters , a school teacher , and asked to see bis boy. Mrs. Thompson told him ho I could come in , but his sister could not. At this he forced open the door and pushed his way into tbo house. Mrs. Thompson's mother advised him to depart , but he re fused and grabbing a curtain pole attempted to strike his wlfo and her mother. The appearance - pearanco of the wlfo's brother caused Thompson and his sister to beat a retreat , but they stopped outstdo the door , and then Thompson threatened to Invade the house again. Mrs. Thompson caught up her broth er's revolver from a table and fired one Bhot through the door , which sent Thompson and bis sister away In a hurry. Mrs Thompson filed n petition for divorce from her husband last Friday , alleging cru elty as sufficient cause for her rcloase , and the character of her husband's reputation as an argument In favor of giving her the custody of their boy.

In some instances they are finding pavements that some people supposed did not exist For Instance , out on Corby , Bristol , the north end of Sherman avenua and North Twenty-fourth street , the streets have not been cleaned for months and tbo dirt and filth cover the pavements to the depth of several Inches , extending from curb to curb. People residing on these streets have pro tested against the filthy condition ot thn pavement. They contend that they pay their taxes the same as the people on Far- nam nnd downtown streets and are en titled to uoino consideration. J.
