I fancied that you were carried by alavea

of bamboos to drink cocoanut milk or
palm wine, while the chiefs of the district

full of luscious fruits. In return, you

few elephants by moonlight and went to

I go out hunting it looks remarkably like
a circus parade. First goes old Nur, with

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Problem of Overwork in School.
Attracting Attention.
DISTRESS IN CHICAGO SCHOOLS
Thoasands of Children I nderfed and
Many Break fast less A Soah Web
ster Anniversary Activities
of Varloas Colleges.
The question of reducing the hours of
school work Is beginning to receive consid
eration In the United States, and generally
In connection with overcrowded schools. In
Oermany, Austria, France and Russia the
question Is a distressing and burning one.
In the first named country, reports the
Chicago Record-Herald, suicides of school
children have been Increasing at an alarm
ing rate. One professor has investigated
over 1,000 cases of child suicide, and he
finds that over 60 per cent are due to ex
cessive strain and failure to pass exami
nations. A Vienna physician has made a slmilsr
lavestlgatlon, and reports that In many
middle-class and well-to-do families chil
dren are driven to 'despair and self-destruc
tion by the demands on their minds and
their Industry. If their certificates Indicate
backwardness the parents are angry and
harsh toward them, and compel them to
do a great deal of extra work in the even
ing, x '
In Russia about 000 school children coin-
mltted suicide last year, and the same
"forcing system" is held to be responsible
for most of these traglo cases.
The problem of overtaxation of the bodies
and brains of the school children has been
treated even In novels and plays, especially
in Oermany. It Is more complex than may
appear at first sight. The time spent In the
schoolroom is one element. The studying of
lessons at home Is another. The lack of
facilities for play and recreation la a third.
Light, ventilation, the kind of desks and
benches or chairs used in the schools fur
nish another element. The demand of the
age Is for efficiency ana thoroughness In
education. Complaints are heard from many
directions that the graduates of the pri
mary and high schools are deplorably Ig
norant even of the fundamental studies.
The tendency everywhere Is to more end
better fducatlon. In view of this tendency
tne matter, of school hygiene la growing In
Importance, and that of overwork In the
largest sense of the term, which Includes
the age at which children should be sent
to kindergarten or school, will demand In
creasing attention. Journals of medicine
and hygiene, as well as educational peri
odicals, are watching the European develop
ments in this field with great Interest and
applying them to the American situation.
ILL-FED SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Distressing: and Pltlfal Conditions
Revealed In Chicago.
A report of a committee of three members
of the Chicago Board of Education reveals
a shocking and distressing condition of
poverty amtWig the school children of that
city. It is assorted that 6,000 children fre
quently are sent to school breakfastless and
that 10,000 other children habitually are
hungry as the result of receiving insuf
ficient food.
The report Is the rojult of an extensive
Investigation brought about through a reso
lution introduced before tho Board of Edu
cation last May by Trustee Modle J.
Spiegel, calling for the working out of
remedies for the relief of school children
who ate hampered tiy indigence. .
In the Course of the Investigation the
child study department examined 10,070
speclflo casca and the truant officers thor
oughly canvassed the poorer school dis
tricts of the city. From the examinations
of subnormal children made by the child
study department the conclusion Is reached
that 65 per cent are sufferers from mal
nutrition and insufficient feeding.
Some of the conditions cite In the report

GRAND ISLAND COLLEGE.
Flattering Prospects of College
shown by Enrollment.
This college opened September 8 with an
enrollment In all departments of about 800
students. Several new teachers of ripe ex
perience have ldentlflud their interests with
those of the Institution. Those attending col
lege come, not only from Neuiaska. but a
fair proportion from Wyoming, Colorado,
South Dakota and Wisconsin.
A reception was given to the new mem
bers of the faculty and the new students
by those who had been on the ground the
previous years. In the absence of Presl
dent Sutherland, Dr. Beyl gave the address
of welcome In behalf of the faculty. Miss
Mamie Hogue gave a cordial welcome to
the new students. Prof. Iliff made a fitting
response to these words of welcome. Prof.
Venner presided.
Two courses of lecture have been pro
vided. One course Is of a somewhat popu
lar cast and Includes two lectures and two
musicales. The second course will be given
by the faculty and will be along the lines
of Investigation which they have pursued
in their departments.
The prospects for foot bsll are better than
tsual. There are some strong men on the
team. It Is thought that they will give a
gooa account of themselves the
year.

NOAH WEBSTER A.N . I Kit S A K .
Trlbnte to Maker of Spelllu Book
nnd Dictionary.
Yale university and New Haven will celel
brate this month the ISoth annlveriity of
the birth of Noah Webster, author of the
spelling book and dictionary.
The Webster homestead Is still standing
at New Haven, and the window where
Noah Webster sat for upward of forty
years while he compiled and rewrote his
dictionary overlojks part of Yale college.
Diagonally across the street from the win
dow Is the old Grove street cemetery wh.'re
he was buried. He was born October li,
ITSg.
In his youth he had many troubles, like
many another author. He brought up a
family of eight on the proceeds of his
spelling book. In after years he never tired
of telling how his father starled him out in
the world to make his fortune with $3 of
Coutlnental money In his pocket, amount
ing in reality to barely 14 In currency.
During his career at Yolo, from which he
wn gradmt'd In 1774. Wrbiter failed to dis
tinguish himself from his other classmates.
Afte graduating he taught school and
studied law. In 1783 he met In Washington
the Rev. Dr. 8. 6. Smith, afterward pres
ident of Prlnrtton college, and mentioned
to him his plan of bringing out a spelling
book which he had already partly prepared
tor publication. Dr. Bmlth encouraged him
In hi elan and the following winter was
spent by Mr. Webster In revising the book.
Then he went to Hartford to publish "The
First Part of a Grammatical Institute of
the English Language."
It waa the first book of the kind ever
published In this country and tha sales
from It at one time were 1.000,000 copies a
year. From this book he received one cent
a copy, fp to 1847 over 21,000,000 coplea had
been sold.
In 1S07 he began his life work, the com
piling cf the dlctlonsry. In the first part
of the century Mr. Webster, for economical
reasons, removed to Amherst, where. It was
said. It was largely through his Influence
that the college was finally founded. He
returned to New Haven to receive the de
gree of LL. D. from Yale In K23. The fol
lowing year he went to Europe to study for
the final preparation of his dictionary. On
his return from abroad he settled perman
ently In New Haven.
The first edition of his dictionary ap
peared In 183. In 1S43 ho finished the ap
pendix and settled down to enjoy a long
contemplated rest. That same year he
died.
Edncatlonal Notes.
Trof. Cnarles H. Judd. head of the de
partment of physiology st Yale university
for several years, has tendered his resigna
tion to take effect next June, when he will
become dean of the School of Education at
the Chicago university.
Boston has a boy of 10 who has passed
the entrance examination to the Institute
of Technology, la up In mathematics, phy
slcs and astronomy, could read and writs
when he was 2 years old. Is self-educated
and has spent only eleven months of his
life In school.
In a university students' fight In Phila
delphia slv were seriously Injured, one so
much so that he may die. Between molly
coddling and fighting to a fatal finish
there is such an extreme difference that it
might repay college authorities and students
to find a happy medium.
The plans and specifications for the new
civil engineering building which is to be
erected on the Union college campus have
Just been completed by the architects and
the contract will be let by a special com
mittee of the trustees, of which Oeorge

CALLER TAKEN FOR BURGLAR
Policeman on Arrival Flnda Only
Male Frland of Family
Domestic.
If every evening caller, youthful lover
and occasional suitor were taken for a
burglar, the marriage license office would
probably experience a decided slump In Its
business. But domestic servants might not
present such a problem as they do at
present, should their matrimonial Inclina
tions be dulled by having their evening
visitors mistaken for night prowlers and
threatened with arrest.
During a lull In police station activities
last night a telephone message from John
A. Fuller of HIS South Thirty-second street
Informed the desk sargeant that a burglar
was prowling around his home, and In
response Officer Ed. Morgan was sent out
on the emergency motorcycle to Investi
gate, v
It developed that the so-called burglar
and prowler was Hans Franols Hansen,
who was waiting In the neighborhood till
an acquaintance, Anna Sweedler, should
return to the house where she is employed
and should receive him. The young woman
Is a domestic at the home of Mrs. Mets,
312 Pacific street, and she had Just stepped
across the street before Hansen called.
When Bhe returned her assertions with
those of Hansen convinced Office Morgan
that he was not needed, so he went back
to the police station, leaving the suRpected
man to make his delayed call.
