Method of teaching and the course of
study In tho public schools of Chicago nre
analyzed, criticized and condemned In a six
column rovlow in tho Sunday Inter Ocean.
Tho review Ih a notablo snulysls of the
modorn system of fads and lams and a
stirring demand for a roturn of tho by
Bone syMom of teaching tho thrco It's. The
Inter Ocean summarizes tho fruits of tho
modern teaching methods by declaring that
the pupils of tho schools are not learning
to spell, they nro not taught the multiplica
tion table, they cannot read Intelligently
and cannot write legibly. Kor this tho
city Is spending annually over J7.000.000.
"Tho lack of praptlcal educational
mothorts In tho publlsc schools of Chicago,"
says tho Inter Ocean, "has been brought to
our attention In a particularly forceful
and ccnvlnclng manner. About three
months ago the Inter Ocean offered a so'rles
of cash prizes for news Items submitted by
Chicago public school children. The con
tributions numbered as high as 800 a week.
Over 60 per cent of thoso contributions wero
plainly tho product of Illiterates. Tho writ
ers had no practical knowlcdgo of tho com
monest, simplest rules of spoiling, writing
or punctuation. Hoys and girls, 16, 17 nnd
even 13 yenrs of nge, wroto In n bungling,
Illegible manner nnd misspelled slmplo
words, Contributions received from pupils
In private schools (under a mlsapprchcnilon
of tho terms of tho contest) were decidedly
good, Judged from tho standpoint of orthog
raphy nnd penmanship.
"It Is a general complnlnt among the busi
ness men In Chicago that tho graduates of
tho gramninr schools nro not fitted for a
practical life; that their education Is not of
tho Id n d to assist them In earning a living.
"Tho Chicago -child who cannot Bpell his
own nnmo can point out an engraving of n
painting by Mlllals. Although ho does not
know whether Illinois Is In tho United
States or in Madagascar ho can cnumornto
tho products of (iuam llko n parrot. Plain
reading may present many obstacles to him,
but ho, can tell about tho lives of Caxton
and Gutenberg. If ho canuot write so that
nnybody can decipher tho words he can
glanco over n poem and Ulustrnto It; it ho
needs a coutbo In pothoffks before his father
can read hi, handwriting' ho can nt least
'express himself In color.' If ho cannot
wrlto about n thing ho can draw It."
Among tho fads omimerntod aro visualiz
ing, naturo study nnd leap frog excrclso In
tho first grndo; studies In mythology beforj
tho alphabet is learned; senso training;
geography by modeling; manual training;
medical examinations; rudiments of danc
ing. "Tho child-study department of the pub
lic schools," says tho Inter Ocean In con
clusion, "han caused a great deal of criti
cism. Tho olllcos at tho Hoard of Education
headquarters aro fitted up with crgographs
nnd stndlometers nnd all sorts of now
fanglcd nppllances and hore tho vitality,
brain power nnd morality of pupils are es
timated In a strictly Hclentlftn mnnncr. Tho
dopartmcnt rnn estimate thoughts by count
ing heartbeats and compute each subject's
future achievements by his respiration.
This Is maintained nt a great expense nnd
tho taxpayers who aro old-fashioned enough
to bullevo that tho money set nsido for
educational purposes should bo devoted to
tho teaching of tho throo It's count child
study as ono of tho least practical of all
fads."
IMtK'fit Ion of Mm mill 'Women.
1'iof. Charles Thwlng writes in tho
Forum: "Co-educntlon has tho advantngo
of economy nnd also of directness of prep
aration for certain women. Co-education
helps tho woman who is to bo obliged to
earn hor own living, to become vigorous
and aggressive. Co-education has, in my
opinion, though not In tho opinion of every
body, tho dlsndvantago of lessening man's
Instinctive respect for womanhood. It also
has tho disadvantage of making some
women mannish.
''Co-ordinate education possesses tho nd
vantngo of tho university association nnd
tho disadvantage of expenslveness. Sopa
rato education has tho advantngo of soli
darity, of Individuality and of simplicity of
educatlonnl environment. It has tho dls
(uhantiges, lu tho women's colleges, of
whlms'enlncsH, emotionalism, narrowness
nnd tho dlfllculty of gottlng and of keep
ing tho best tenchors. In men's colleges
It has tho dlsadvnntngo of n crealn unnat
urnlness and remoteness from human ns
soclatlon. Knch method, bo It said, has
its weaknesses nnd Its strength. No method
hns any educntlonal patent right. Ench
method Is good or bad, better or worse,
according to tho student to whom It Is ap
plied. Therefore tho methods of education
do not Indicate that thcro need bo a dif
ference. "Of tho mnny things that I should like to
sny about tho courso of study, tho ono thing
that I with most to say Is that tho differ
ences In different studies nro of very small
value-, provided tho student Ih Interested in
tho studies which ho pursues. Of course,
wo can make our discriminations, nnd say
that langungo teaches interpretation, that
literature gives culture, that mathematics
gives logical orderliness, that science gives
observation, nnnlysls, and synthesis. Wo
may sny, or wo may not say, with Lord Ila
con, that 'knowlcdgo Is a pyramid, whoso
baBo Is history and experience. Upon these
rests pnysics; on this, motnphystcs. Tho
summit or the pyramid Is
woman, should not take studies amcrent
from those that man takes. One can als
say that tho man, us a man, should not
take studies that aro different from thus
thnt a woman takes. One can say at once,
and firmly, that woman should tako those
studies which Interest and movo and form
her. Man should take thoso studies which
Interest and move and form him. Tho
studies should bo different, not on the
ground that tho onn Is a man and tho other
a woman, but tbey should be different on
tho ground that each Is an Individual.
"Doth men and women, however, choose
studies. In the samo fields. The most popular
courses In tho collego for both men and
women are the courses In history, Knullsb
economics, philosophy and modem lan
guages. Of course, tho personal element
enters Into this choice. Somo students
chooso Instructors and not subjects nnd
thero are advantages In this method but
when tho personal clement Is eliminated
from the equation, tho humanities will be
found tho most popular topics, nnd nlso th
best topics for both men nnd women. This
conclusion is not set nsldo by what Lotze
says, that truth does not mean the satno
to men nnd to women. For women overy
thing Is true which fits into tho system o
things harmoniously. For men the true
represents rather tho real. Women's labors
are artistic and Intuitive, men's scientific'

Turn It Into Coin.
A veteran among tho newspaper workers
of tho united States Is John Swlnton,
staff Hssoclato of the lamented Charles
Dana and writer of marked ability. What
ho docs not know about newspaper lite, Its
lights and shadows, Joys and annoyances, is
not worth scoklng elsewhere. In a Into
uumber of tho Independent Mr. Swlnton
writes of "Newspaper Notoriety," tho peopl
who seok It and profit by It, and tho
schemes worked to secure it. He says:
Only a mnn who, llko tho present writer
has been for mnny years "behind lb
scenes" In a dally newspaper ofllco, can
havo any Idea of tlio prevalence uf tho
"Itch for notoriety." Tho people nffected
by it aro numerous beyond counting nnd
many of them never got over it. Tho growth
of tho distemper In our tlmo has been
stimulator by tho extravagant Increase In
tho number of newspapers, tho vast en
largemcnt of the hordes of their readers and
tho extension of tholr Influence. It has been
stimulated nlso by tho immeasurable do
volopmont of egotism in this age. I must
say, too, that It has been stimulated by the
unquestionable fact that persons often do
rlvo benefit or profit from It.
I fchall not attempt hero to draw any
lino between notorioty and fa mo, or t
mark whoreln tho notorious Individual
differs from tho famous ono, I have noticed
how over, In tho courso of tlmo nnd expert
enco, that newspaper notoriety is somo
times the beginning of fame, or runs Into
It, or Is tho germ of It. Wo henr fre
queutly of such "famous" prlzo fighters as
Sullivan, Kltzslramons, Sharkey or Corbett,
and If wo aro to form u Judgment of their
stnndlnr; from tho moasuro of their popu
larlty, the admiration they attract, tho
rewards they receive, tho acclamations that
follow them and tho flattering reports of
tholr heroics In tho press of New York.
they aro cortnlnly tho most celebrated men
in the United States. Tho spectators
tholr performances nre often numbered by
tens of thousands, all of whom havo to
pay "gate-money," and they got moro
spaco and more pralso from the Now York
dallies most In voguo than all the artists
pfallosophors and Inventors above ground
I guesA, nevertheless, that tho critics who
nver that tho parties hero spoken of nro
merely "notorious pugilists" must be left
to arguo with tho newspapers which exalt
their names.
Working Ynrlnnn Devloea.
As I havo been made aware, tho seekers
of nowspaper notoriety resort to all kinds
of dovlces to gain their end, though I think
thcro aro but few parties among them who
practice direct bribery. Some of them get
their names In, tho pnpers and thus win
temporary success by wild or sensatlonnl
utterances, or by startling deeds, by per
sonal eccentricities, by fasting forty days
by running for offlro, by going on the ram
page, by "shoving tho queer" in Wall
street, by constantly shouting "reform," by
disappearing, by leading a funny pug
through tho street, by endowing an lnstltu
tlon, by writing a horrible pleco of poetry.
by blarneying reporters, or even (poor
Stove nrodlo.l) by brldgo Jumping, or by
other ways too numerous t" mention. Any
notoriety seeker can get his picture Into
two or throo dally lllmslcs any day by say
Ing that ho has Invented a now religion
or Is a dangerous anarchist, or will preach
a rag-tlino sermon with a banjo nccompanl
mont. A certain proportion of notoriety
soeckers nro sheer cranks or fakirs, others
of them nro half cranks, and moro yet hav
a streak of cranklsm In their anatomy.
Apart, nowover, from tho rnntnstlcs o
all kinds, thcro nro plenty of ambit lou
Individuals to whom nowspaper notorioty
signifies success; and this, I guess, Is th
chief cnuso of tho itch for it.
I'OUIICIII I'llffH.
Take, for example, tho caso of a young
fellow in politics, ono whom the mug
wumps may call a "heoler." When he
gets his name In tho papers for the first
time as n "ward leader" all eyes In tho
ward aro turned upon him. Ills friends
glvo him taffy, whllo his foes go round
abusing him, greatly to his advantage. Tho
old hands call hlra an "upstart," nnd thus
help him along. Thero Is a funs In the
ward on his account, nnd his namo appears
prominently In the report. Ho is gottlng
on finely. He makes n speech, and tho
papers tell of it. Ho secures agnomina
tlon as alderman and tho reporters
glvo tho newB, somo of thorn fnvorlng him
with a puff. He Is elected; ho Is tho
boss of the ward; ho is on the highway to
success all tho result of that nowspaper
notorioty which ho was smart enough to
mako use. of. Every newspapor editor
and reporter knows how the small-fry
politicians strive for this kind of notoriety
una how it helps thorn. I may add. too,
that I havo known plenty of big political
leaders who wero always anxious to
get it.
To play-actors newspapor puffery la better
than opplauBo of the galleries. It fills the
house; It affects thu manager; it la a means
of securing engagements; it is printed on
tlio play bills; It Is intoxicating.
Among prizefighters there Is a mania for
nowspaper notorioty. They can never got
euougu of It. They know that thero Is
money In It.
Kor lawyers, newspaper notoriety Is
help In securing cases. How anxious many
or mem aro to appear In a notablo trial
which will bo fully reported every day for a
weoK or a month, and In which tholr names
will ehlno at tho beginning and the ond of
a thrilling appeal or a paralyzing argument.
Why, thero are lawyers who havo gained
scores oi clients tnrougn newspaper
notorioty. The Now Yorker who can't name
somo of them doesn't know tho bar.
I'rrituhprn MUo'It.
If thero bo anybody who thinks that thero
aro no preachers who cravo newspaper
notoriety and try to got It, let him be un
deceived. Thnt very thing may procure for
a preached a better pulpit thon ho has, or
a Higher salary. Hut tho Independent Is
not tho medium through which to tell all I
havo learned In nowspaper offices regarding
tnis particular matter.
Tho proverbial modesty of authors and
of artists ought to savo them from tho
Itch for newspapor notoriety. Hut the fact
cannot longer bp concenlod that all of them
aro not thus saved. And why? Decauso
tho newspaper may ofton bo helpful to a
book, a picture or a statue. Ask thn author
of any ono of a score of tho very latest
novels. Ask that log-rolling novelist, Mario
Corolll, It would be no uso to ask that
distinguished Now York artist who once
offered to exchange his choicest canvas for
some newspaper puffery.
It Is queer that thero are even hard-
beaded business men who cravo nowspaper
notoriety. They see customers In It, and
also profit.
It Is only editors of long experience) who
know how many of our towering states
men nnd spelling orators nro touters for
newspaper notoriety. It looks to them
very much llko fame or ronown.
In an earlier part of this article I re-
ferred to the cranky, tho vain nnd the silly
people who seek for it; but theso are by no
means us only seekers. It Is sought for
by a good many worldly persons In this
THE BLUES.
To keep a "stiff upper lip" is almost impossible for an
ailing woman.
She doesn't like to say anything about her troubles to
her husband, becauso she knows thoy will worry him.
She knows that ho needs overy minute of his timo and
all of his ingenuity to hold his position and make headway
in his business.
She wants to help and not to hinder him.
Yet, she has those awful sensations of weariness and
weakness which, fight as she will, she cannot conquer.
She has headaches and a dreadful bearing-down feeling
which nothing relieves. She doesn't eleop well, and is
frequently attacked with dizziness.
She keops her troubles to herself as much as possible
and consults the doctor, who doesn't help hor. Then eho
gets discouraged and blue, and after "a good cry," tells
her troubles to hor husband.
Of course, her troubles are his troubles, but a man is
always moro hopeful than a woman. It is impossible for
him to understand how unbearable aro her sensations.
"Now, don't get the blues," ho says to her. "Keep on
with the doctor's medicine and you'll bo all right soon."
She is more cheerful for a while after that, but the
medicine doesn't do her any good, and tho feeling of failure
comes back, bringing the old melancholy and depression of
spirit.
Let this disconsolate woman turn to Mrs. Pinkham
and sho will got the help sho needs. In overy neighbor
hood there aro women who havo been helped by her, and
almost every day this papor prints letters from some of
those grateful hearts.
If you aro ailing and discouraged, why not do as those
women have done and get the advico Mrs. Pinkham so
freely offers to overy suffering woman ? Hor address is

Mrs. Pinkham's medicine has a woll-deserved reputa
tion for curing tho ills that give women tho blues. It over
comes menstrual irregularities and pain, all uterine and
