The method of Imparting- Instruction contemplates -
templates not only permitting the pupils to

problems for solution. This method of
teaching Is new In Council Ituffn ) and has

Three university picsidents have rccentl >
given puhllo cYprcnslon to the opinion that
general athletics In moderation are of great
benefit to the student body , and of question
able value If cairleil to excess.
There Is no new light revealed In this
opinion , sajs Harper's Weekly , nor Is the
statement applicable to athletics only ; It
lias equal pertinence to an > branch of human
endeavor Hut It suggests the thought that
there would be less occasion for disquietude
If college faculties addressed themselves to
Internal remedies lather than to public bul
letins The phjslclan who stops short with
a dlngncols of a case gives no relief to the
sufferer Wo have had before us the anal > -
( ,1s of 'the athletic situation for certainly
the past five jears and the best skill ob
tainable continuously omplojcd administer
ing' such medicine as the disease seemed to
rniiilio and the patient could endure. If
the highest skill In unlvcrslt ) life has not
been enlisted , it was not for want of seek
ing , or because authority was lacking had
the Inclination to offer Us advice been atti
ring.
In approaching this athletic question , two
facts must he accepted as a basis for pres
ent ( llscunlon and an cat nest of the future
posslbllltl ° s
1 Wholesomely conducted othletlcn are
proved h > experience and universally ac

2. Cach jc-ai of the last five has shown an
emphatic Improvement over the preceding
one In the provisions of uilein " healthful
management and In the education of the
participants along the lines of sport for
spoil's sake
Meanwhile , athletics In general and foot
ball In particular , have been bitterly as-
Railed by men who because of Ignorance
could not. or because of bigoted prejudice
would not. recognise thi'lr merit There has
been on exhibition a tendcicy to damn ath
letics because of their evils , rather than save
their good by R correction of these evils
Logically carried out In all dcptitments of
life , where would such a policy land us ?
Meanwhile , too , the belief In wholesome
pport , wholesomely conducted , hns remained
unshaken ,

A now depaituro In educational methods ,
the result of which will bo watched with un
feigned Interest the countrj over , was that
exemplified before the Public I'ducatlon asso
ciation of Now York City a few das a "go by
Dr. Gros/mann , superintendent of the schools
maintained by the ethical Culture fcocloty ,
A distinctive feature of tliCKO gehooU Is that
they have no marking b > stem ; another fe.v
tin o u that among seutrul hundred pupils
the study of esch child \i \ attempted , thu
theory of the lUhlcal c.ilttirlsis being that
"thu art of peJag gy has not become t > o far
a science that any general clafslllr tlons or
deductions can ba made.
'Iho tjt > ti'm of promotion ai explained by
the superintendent Is HkuvvUe komcthlng of
a novelty. The pupil Is promoted or gradu-
nt'U by the \erdlct of a council of his teach
ers. Them are frequent pht > lcal examina
tions and measurements , by which Incipient
dljcasca are sonietlmoi discovered. Nor docs
the ethical 3 > stem end with the children ; Its
Bcopo Includes the parents as well The re
ports cent homo convey no percentages , but
n general Idea how the pupil Is progressing ,
with a hint at the chief fault , and meetings
nro held where , the teachers talk over the
IJOJH and girls with their mothers for better
understanding on both sides.
That scmio of thcjo features are an ad-
VUIUQ upon our public school methods , sa > s
the Philadelphia Hecord , may readllj bo con
ceded. Whether the advance ] Idiaa can ever a
bo engrafted on our common school sjstem
Is another question. The probabilities are
that they cannot. Hut to some extent they
liavu found recognition In the chool BjBtetus
of thU and other cities ; and though they may
not bo furthtT followed they are well worthy
the study of all who take Tioto of the tie
vclopment of pcdigogy In this country.

The Ottutnwa Courier expresses disap
pointment because "the house of representa
tives at DCS Molnea has refused to pass the
bill as passed by the senate requiring ex
amlnatlon In algebra and phvsica on the
part of teachers In order to secure a first-
class certificate. The reason given by the
opposition to this v. Ise provision In the house
Is the very reason that should have brought
about Its adoption Instead of Its rejection.
The reason v\as that this provision will raise
the curriculum of the country schools to a
higher plane and It was feared that the
teachers'would have to he paid more money.
The Courier can only reiterate that the
great need of our country schools , which
arc the foundation and framework of our
great public school sjstcm , Is a higher
grade of teachers. And on the principle
that people seldom get something for noth
ing In this world , It should be recognized
that capable teacheis deserve geol pay.
Majorities In legislatures frequently hive
a fatal facility for doing just the wrong
thing which Is certainly what they have
done In this Instance. "

GHAND ISLAND , Neb. Feb. 11. To the
ndltor of The Bee Noting in youi Uaue of
February 12 a report of the doings of the
Grand Army at Hastings , I feel it Is a duty
io Bpeak through your columns as a mem-
bei of the Soldiers' home My views , I feel
assured , are but an expression of four-fifths
of the members of the home. If the com-
innmlei of the homo has not the power to
make and enforce laws for the welfare of
the horns his olllea might as well be va
cated , and a detail made from the rank.3
thus saving Iho expense of such office I
am a republican of the old stripe and be
lieve In law and discipline. Our worthy
commander , I believe , Is of the populist
stiipe , but he surely possesses some icpuh-
llcan principle. ? , for his details to any of
the various positions about the homo quali
fication Is considered and politics Is not.
The same may be mid of his mods of bring
ing to justice offenders against the laws gov
erning the homo.
I note in the proceedings of the encamp
ment a icsolutlon strongly recommending
that the commander should bo deprived of
power of discharging an offender. This I
believe would bo detrimental to the wclfaru
of the home , for thU h the only thing that
Is looked upon with fear. Talk and repri
mands mo like chaff Djprho the com
mander of this power and you have opened
thu gates for Insults and anything that
might follow by a drunken man.
It Is possible that thercmlght be como

Affairs In Wnll street seem to have fnllei

tivity nnd no unusual causes of excitement
There Is n fixed feeling of conlldence un
ilcrlylng the market for bectirlllcs which
keeps prices steady , but no enthusiast !
outside demand ; nnd , nt the moment , th
speculative movement Is largely limited t' '
professional operators As a rule , the feel
lnpr Is conservative , but In no sense timid
It Is conceded that n broader Imsls for con
lldcnce has been laid , and that the exist
Ing situation Is exempt from rtny obvlou
reasons for ml gl\lngs.
There are certain tendencies quietly nm
pmdtially developing which , almost unob
nerved nro producing a Httndv Improve
meiit In the tone of affairs. These Infill
enccs nrc partlv political , partly Industrial
and partly financial , nnd therefore cove
a large area of Interests. In nil directions
nmoug the people and In congress , n cnlme
nnd more moderate view of public affairs
Is bdng taken. The public nppieclatcs tha'
the linger questions now up for scttlcmcn
are non-political In their nature nnd re
quire a ticatment which excludes metely
partisan considerations. The mixing of In
lluontlnl citizens of both p.irtlt.i In mcas
urc-s of reform Is very obviously having It1
effect upon the organisation of the ncv
administration , and Is equally eliciting' It
congress the stntcstnanly spirit as dlstln
KUlslird from the political. This dliposl
lion U shown In Mr. McKlnley's carefulness
to secure , In the selection of his irnblnct
men of proved statesmanly nblllty nnd mod
eratlon , nnd who are known to reprcsen
the views of the conservative element In
public opinion. In congress , It appears It
a fleer -spirit of discussion and In the re
luxation of ptrty restraints upon Individ
ual judgment. This tendency Is In the
blglust degree hopeful , as It promises the
ascendency of stntcstmnshlp over preju
dice and inetQ popullzlng , nnd because 1
shows that the country 11 returning to pn
trlotlc sound sense
In the Industries , there nrc signs of the
beginning of the brenk-up of a Ht.ito o
deadlock In which many trades have beei
fast held before and since the election am
which hns materl illy checked the progress
of recuperation These obstacles have been
mainly connected with Important staples
whose prestige his n.iturally affected Hym
palb.etlcn.lly othoi br inches of business an
produced a miteilal Interruption of trade
at the beginning of the spring season. In
some cases , these hlndianccs have been
connectcil with oveisupplies of certain
products , In others with the efforts of com
bines to enforce high prices The over
stocked condition of the printing cloth fac
tories has kept the dry goods Hade In com
plete suspense for vvcvks or even months
pu t. for this being a. staple article , which
roKUlntcs the \alue of cotton goods nt
lnrtv , purchases of all cotton fabrics have
been postponed lest a break In this p-mlcu-
hir cla s should derange the general range
of prlce Toi this reason the purchase of
7nOCOO pieces of printing- cloths by the
American Prlntlnc compiny during- this
v.-i ek , and also additional putcliaies of 250-
010 pieces , with nn advance In price , has
hud a most wholesome effect ; for It not
only determines that the current prices o
cotton goods are fair and noriml , but lays
a Insls upon which business In this brand
of tiade can be safely transacted The
cotton goods trade Is thus eNnmptcd fron
an em.h u m > vvhlih has caused much other *
wise needless postponement of business
and tin consequent improvement of tone
" ems to be extending sympathetically to
the woolen and worsted trades as well
Al o. for the first time foi m.mv months
the much depressed giocery trade shows a
marked revival in Its lending branches the
demand from the Interloi showing a spe
cial Improvement These , nro ivest encour-
gliiK symptoms.
Simllai relief has como to the Iron trade

combined attempt to maintain a price foi
steel billets mueh above the views of buy-
TS This- week , the Important combine
which hns held steel rails at $23 nnd then
fij prices so much above the market as to
have almost entirely suspended silos has
broken down under dlsngreuncnts and sales
have been made , within the last three c'ays
stated at BOOOCO tons , at from $17 to $20 per
ton. This Is nn Important boon to the
i.illrotds ; but the main encouragement to
business which this fact conveys lies In
Its evidencing that there Is a limit to the
extent to which Industilil combinations can
hold the Inislnp's of the country In re
straint. In Wall Street this moral Is noted
with special satisfaction and has distinctly
Inlltienced the hopes of a general revival of
business
The break In the price of steel rails to
the lowest ever reached wI Inevitably Ie.ul
to a demand that will In nil probability
amount during the yeir to 1(0)0' ( > 0 nd-
d tloual tons that would not otherwise take
place ; and , ns at least 9U per cent of the
l > re ° ent low price of steel rails will go Into
In hot. It will necessarily plve a great stim
ulus to It The good cff'ct therefore o *
the movement In iron which this low pi Ice
for rails must necessarily cause tog-ether
with the large sale of print cloths at Fill
River , cannot bo ovei estimated After so

History Invariably repeats lt = clf , and the
slims are not lacking- that good times are
low fairly on the way. There lomnln
lint fourteen full vvoiklnp days between

should afford a sense of great relief to all
business men , considering the disastrous

The tendencies townid recuperation In

NEW YOnK. Feb. 14. Bcnrlsh fenturcs
of the situation nro virtually nil the news
thnt Wnll Street Is "having just now. Fac
tors of ponsequenne shovvlnr/ the vast
Improvement i.vhlch Jms come Into the bus
iness world since last November nre for the
lime hlelelcn from A lew. So fnr" ns the
Industrial outlook is concerned Wnll street
heeds nothing outside of nn occasional an
nouncement that some factory hni cut
down Us hours or thnt 'some workmen hnvo
been ofollged to tnkc retliiccil my. H Is
the Wnll street fashion for the present to
he fohie. We nre downcnst over the out
look abroad. Wnr between Greece ? and Tur
key Is looked upon a * certain , und the profo.
nfollltv that European powers generally will
fop Involved focfore long Is equally nn ac
cepted tlieory. Wnll street knows nothing
of vvhnt Is going on In military circles
abroad moie thnii Is known to every render
of newspapers. The foremost Jmn'.tcrs In
Wall street having International connec
tions say postIvply thnt no Information cnn
foe had In London or Paris which Is In nny
way more definite than thnt which Is given
In ordinary press cnb'ep. Those dispatches
do not amount to much Leyond rumors ,
though they make plain the existing stnte
of feeling nt Athens.
The effect of n European iwnra \ likely to
damage us severely If > vc can trust the
bear oracles of Wall street. Just why or
how they do not make plain. In nny con
test on the othei sldp of the ocean which
would embroil Important nations America ,
commercially nnd Industrially , could only
piollt. Our farm commodities nnd the
products of our factories would. In meet
ing less competition , Iind a better market.
It Is taken for granted thnt In any such
war ns mny now teem to foe threatened ,
America AvouJel not become Involved. Our
monpy market would feel quick pressure ,
for there would , tl roimhout Europe , foe
more than ever a scramble for gold , but not
in American history have > vc been better
prcpnicd for an emergency of this sort
than wo nrc Just no.v. with bank vaults
all over the country crowding to ovcrllovv
with funds unused ,
ilore oat nest attention , liecauso more 1m-
mcdlite effects nio promised Is bring pibl
fov Wall Mreot to tlie Investigation by the
Now York legislature Into trusts. This In
vestigation was resumed today with devel
opments of Interest.
Wall street Is becoming less suspicious of
this Investigation than It was when Senator
l.exow started II It Is now bellpved by
fair observers that the Inquiry could not be
choked off oven If all the political ptj.vers
In the stjito tried to do the choking In
many ways Important results may follow
this Investigation What seems to bo llkelv
to be one of the chief result1 * will foe the
awakening It will prompt among ! Investors
People who buy Sugar trust stock Leather
trust stock , Tobacco trust stock , or the
stocks or any of the other trusts -will hive1
put before them very clcaiiy the predomi
nating disposition of the malingers of such
blind pools to deal In deception. As h is
been pointed out over ami over again there
Is not u single trust whose eeurltles nre
listed on the Now York Stock exchange
which pays any ji'tvntlon whatever to the
rights of stockholders They Issue no st ite-
ments that anjfoqdy can undorstantl sho.v-
Inif neither change" lit assets , nor earnings ,
nor profits , nor IOSSOH Mr Barnum's old
maximum that the public likes to fop fooled
has been stretcheil qut to furthest limits
by tiust flmnclfs , . The man who wl'I
buy 100 shares of anv trust stock aid ex
pect to foe trentc-d fairly Is silly and rcr'-
les * No trust'SD ' far has ever made a
showdown to the public except through the
courts. i
The collapse ol the Cordage trust nnde
deal how the game was plaveel there with
all the cards market ! . In the Cot'on Oil
trust ultimate b inkruptcy disclosed the
bamc stnte oC affairs. There has been no
exception to this rule. . In e\ery ca = o where
disclosures have liecn'made the disclosures
have been appalling.'Eventually ' th're are
bound to foe slml'ar eMWuires among those
trus's vv ilch ares now lemalnlng who pro
fess to be flushed vvjth prosperity
There Is no reason for any man or set of
men to organlze.n tiust vvhe-t anythlnK else
than bunco is tnb object. Taking the Sugar
trusts ntffian example , because--ISie Sugar
trust Is the most conspicuous of nil trusts
at prcsenti the Investing public has been led
to believe that not only has this trust foeqn
rlgh along earning big dlvldenels , font tint
it has year after jetir been accumulating
a surulus of millions of dollars. The little ,
mcasley statement thnt the trust annually
Issues quotes such a surplus Hut In finan
cial statements thej , ' > vords "surplus" does
not have the reassuring sound that obce
It had. When the Erie road 1 ist went
to a receivership It had a "surplus" of
$10.000000 or more. When the Iluidln ;
tumbled over Into fonnkruntcy PS "sur
plus" was , foevond J20.COO.OCO When the
Baltimore & Ohio crash came the "sur
plus" there was beyond } 40,000 0 0 In not
ono of these cases v.as tic "suiplus" any
thing else than bunco. So It has been In
all the trusts thnt have been smashed
CA'NNOT nn IGNORED.
Precedents may not be proof , but ? r ce-
dents cannot alwavslio Ignored safelv. The
building up of a big surplus Is vastly ad
vantageous If It Is a real surplus Hut a
surplus that Is a m\story Is a surplus that
Is to besusncctcd Such a claimed .use
is especially \aluafolc however to Ftoc'i
market mnnlnulators trying to foist stocks
upon the public at Inflated vilues And
thai , much more than the handling of any
staples , more than the restriction of trade ,
much more than the stilling of competition ,
Is the main aim of ccr > proup of financiers
who have gone Into anv trust corporation
and listed their securities upon th" New
Yoik Stock Exchange The Standard Oil
trust can ho cited ns an exception , for
the leason that the Standard Oil trust
stock Is not quoted upon the Nc > v York
exchange. It Is not advertised through
Wnll street It never nas been peddled
to the piiblle throuch the- devices of an
army of brokers under official hire.
Wall street Is Intel esteel In the expecta
tion thnt .Mr. Yerkes Is to bring his stocks
east So much hns been heard hero of the
lively antics that the-se Yerltes stocks have
been in thc hafolt of cutting that tielr advent - |
vent In Wall street will bo hnl'cd with
considerable applause
Meanwhiio the stock market lack's snap
It sigs easily. Indications not to be Ig
nored nre that we are having liquidation
of long stocks upon an Important scile\
The Industrials are most ronsplptiouo In the
.vpaleness which the market displays but
they are bv no mc.ins liio only .veafc EP-
turllles. Some of the richest men In Wall
street , men who have been parrying tlie
blgpe.st line of stocks , men who were pe-r-
suadeil 'ast November victory for sound
money must bo quickly reflected In business
Improvement , are now regretfully letting
pa They are clever men , they know nil
about disguising their own moves , and
thus It la thnt wo have In the market
now a big boriowing demand , which seems
to Indicate a short Interest much more
extensive than really exists Long stocks
sold are being borrowed , but as soon as
cortnln liquidation progiams are completed
the long stocks themselves will be all de-
llve red
Trm anthracite coal stocks , the tiust
stocks generally , -and some of the con
spicuous ( .ranger inllro.id stocks are all
likely to dip downward unless something
unexpectedly encouraging suddenly Inter

CHICAGO , Feb. -Wheat suffered today
from liquidation that at ono time almost
took on the nature of n Mamrcde. The
markel was rather In need ot bull news
but llttlo was forthcoming , and the Unload
ing which ensued caused a break of Ho
In the Mny option. Corn nnd oats were
nffcctcd to a degree , closing about He
lower each. Provisions showed strength all
day and advanced 100I2c.
Wheat opened firm at shade Improve
ment on Thursday's closing prices and Im
proved upon first quotations before reveal
ing the true course of Its tendency , iwhlc" !
in the middle of the session became
strongly downward. May started nt 7jHc
nnd 7f > J4c , compared with Thursday's clos
ing price of 7u'4c , then worked terminally
up to TGmFi'fi'le. There vvns the turning
point for the dny nnd It went down In two
long rolls , landing llrst at 75'4c and nftcr n
rcnctlon to "Me It renewed Its quick de
scent , 74VJc being the next tciracc upon
which It rested for n time. St. Louis vvns
nt the bottom of the enrly ndvnncp , nl-
though the disturbed condition of European
politics had a slight Intlncnco at the Imme
diate opening. This factor vvns lost sight
of , however , when the Liverpool ctbles vvero
received , showing no effects of the wnr
tnlk , nnd the nttontlon of speculators was
directed to a 2-cent jump In the May ou-
lion at St. Louis. There was no nppuent
reason for the Jump nnd it scared the local
operators Into a general scramble to cover
that resulted In an ndvanco to 7G't076 c.
That was the high point of the dny. TA-ICII
came the dtluge. When the shorts came
to rescue some of their early purchases
they found no market. Here was another
painful surprlrc to thp altendy somewhat
rattled speculators and n regular stampede
of holders took place , checked once or twice
by purchases of the cooler beaded ones
who were on the right side ot the market
and satisfied with tbnlr piofits Local and
northwest receipts hnd little effect. Ku-
celpts tn Chicago since Thursday morning
vvero thirty-two cars , compared with 311
carloads on the corresponding two days of
last year. At Minneapolis and Uultith they
Avore ( KG cars , which Includes yortcrdav s In
