iSome Plain. Facts About Public Schools
Criticism Recentlyfuttered by, Clergy and a Politician Sounds Goodbut Isn't Based on Pacts
(Coiiyrlght, 19ll. by Star Company.)
By REV. THOMAS B. GHEGOnV,
Recent utterances' niako It absolutely
necessary that there should be some
frankiVord upon the subject of our pub
lic schools. ...
A Baptist preach
er of New .York
named Chambers,
ttalkln? before an
audience In Tre-

great ' man and
( Illustrious states
man 'whose rising
fame.vthreatcns to
push 'Gavour, Glad
stone and Bismarck from their pedestals,
the eic-Hon. Bird S. .Coler, told the people
of Troy last week that the public schools
were hferlor to the church schools and
were 'responsible for the "absenco of tho
essentials that make for charooter build
lnff." He',.'T. E. Chambers finds In tho de
ficiencies of the public schools the ex
planation of the "harvest of young crim
inals Jn our largo cities, and tho growth
of homicides and suicides far outstripping
that of any other enlightened country on
the sttbe."
The x-IIon. Bird S. Coler has discov
ered jjio fact that the church schools
"have-'the saving principle which has
been ij&mlntued from tho-public schools;"
and. In addition; that 'cntorprlslng fceh
tlematri has found In the church schools
... "a secular education which, in every re-
cent Wt, has shown superior efficiency
over Uje public-, school .education."
.Vow? the plain truth is that these gen
tlemen'; have fo.und no.-such thing. In
other jvords, they don't know what they
are tajking about.
As to nev. air. Chambers, ho should
know ihat the "homicides nnd suicides"
In the' United States do not "far outstrip"
tho rejjprd of "all other enlightened coun
tries on the globe." In suicides many
of the; European nations far exceed us;
and the percentage of homicides in this
country compares favorably, to say tho
least, with tho percentages of the old
world,
As regards the "harvest of. criminals

As to Mr. Coler's obiter dictum about
the "superior efficiency." . ot the church
schools in tho "test of secular education,"
It may be said .that It is not worth tho
breath It took to utter It. Tho statoment
Is positively ridiculous, too funny for ser
ious consideration.
Not much less amusing Is Mr. Coler's
pronunciamento regarding the "savlnff
principle" which ho professes to have
found In tho nonpublic schools.
It Is well known to all who have gone
to tho trouble to Investigate that matter
that the morality, decency and all around
civic fitness of the graduates of tho
public schools need fear no comparison
with tho graduates of other schools. Fur
thermore, It may bo said with perfect
truthfulness that the young people turned
out by the public schools do not furnish
the majority of the criminals.
"Saving, principle" or no saving prin
ciple, this statement Is absolutely correct

Q. "You atated that 'mind created elec
trons,' which In time develop bodies. How
do you account for the fact that it is
necessary to have a body in order to havo
a mind? Ordinary common sense should
show that If there wero no bodies thero
would be no minds."
A. I print, In different porta ot the
world, that nothing exists but 'electrons,
and expect to publish this basic truth
dally until I tumble out Jit my chair, it

they want to haVe religion taught In the

200 or 300 different and bickering creod
lsts pulling uway at the children, en
gendering confusion, fostering- ill-will and
muddling the young-mind like a stlrrcd-up

. The men who made this nation and
established Its Institutions were wise.
They knew history, and thoy did not need
to bo told that to mix up church and
stato Is to commit national suicide.
Bo they decided that the people should
have no official copartnership -with tho
churches, and that the people's- schools,
like all the other public Institutions,
should bo secular purely and simply
secular, rather than half secular and?h'alf
ecclesiastical.
And tn this they did well. To havo done
less would havo been In the end dis
astrous. If tho day ever comes when the people's
money Is appropriated for sectarian pur
poses, and sectarian shibboleths aro per-l
mlttod to Invade tho precincts of our pub
lic .school system, the great experiment In
democratic government on this continent
will have foiled and the curtain will hava'
fallen upon the attempt at free and pro
gressive government In our beloved coun
try. sense receives teachings from youth to
death from all manner of sources by
seeing, hearing, reading and hearing
words spoken. Hut at least half of this
Is known to be false; better, three-fourths
myths.
The entlro clvlllzod World Is now
flooded with books, papers, magazines
and letters by hundreds of millions, giv
ing testimony In every pobsIWo way, In
numerable and, varied ways. In thousands
of cases, where proof is as accurate and
full as any testimony In any court; that
mind, or at least a force having every
known property of mind, aots outside ot
any known body.
Now, the cause of these excessively
wonderful things Is mind, or a power
having every proporty of mind that ha
ever been discovered. Then mere, ordi
nary common sense would say tho force
Is mind.
The I'nrm is Ileal Life.
' iWhy Is It that railway magnates, presi
dents of banks and headi of great enter-
'prises who must perforce do business in
cities,-almost' all try to have homes on
farms In the country, where they le-
ciui iuiia, pinm crops ana oreea ani
mals? It Is because thoro Is wearisome
monotony In p)led-up brick and . atone.
Thero Is confusion in crowded streets and
clanging trolley cars and hot, smoky rail
ways. These things man has made, and

Imaginary
By GARRETT P. SERW.SS.
Do you carry an "lm'aglnary mop" In
your head, and If so, do you know to
what extent It Is erroneous?
If It is as far wrong as It Is fjulto
likely to be It
would pay you to
get It corrected at
any cost of time
and effort.
It sepms . to bo
due to "Imaginary
maps," which haye
got caught llko
cobwebs In people's
brains, that so
many full-grown
and highly Intelli
gent persons are
unable to find
their way unas

city, a strange country, or oven In their
own homo town If they happen to emerge
from an unfamiliar door.
. A correct sense of orientation, or of
direction, is a gift possessed by relatively
fow persons. Those who havo It seldom
go astray, no matter where thoy are.
Put them In a strango city which they
have never visited before and. they, find
their way about, with .astonishing case
and certainty. They appear to know
north, east, south and west by Instinct,
as If they carried some kind of a com
pass In the head,
On tho other hand, those who are not
born with or have not acquired this
faculty are ashelpless as InfanU after
you have taken them Out of sight of' their
home and turned them around, a fow

These are persons who get lost In the
woods; traveling round and round In
circles Instead of pursuing a direct' route
in any fixed direction." A permthUs
afflicted, as Prof. C. C. TrowbrMgo ha

when starting to. go home from tho
theater, or when emerging from tho sub

"Imaginary maps" are mental repre
sentations of tho bearings, or directions,
of distant places, which have become
fixed In the mind through early educa
tion, or through later Impressions, and
which aro sornotlinvs so Incorrect that
the points of the compass aro completely
reversed with respect to their proper di
rection. Prof. Trowbridge distinguishes more
than a halt dozen different types of
Imaginary maps, nnd soma of them are
very curious.
One typo is that in which the possessor
of tho imaginary map always thinks of
north as being directly In front of him
no matter which way he may happen to
face- Starting with this fundamental
error he places nil the other points ot the
compass In their correct relative pos
tlpns, east being always on the right
hand and west on the left. Dut, owing
to the original mistake, he may be com
pletely turned round with regard to
actual directions.
Another typo Is that In which all dls
tqnt points seem to lie either toward the
east or the west. Prof. Trowbridge has
found two cases In this city In which the
persons afflicted with an imaginary map
of this kind think ot both Madrid and
Ban Francisco as lying west from New
York.
In some cases the Imaginary map
changes with the locality In which tho
person happens to be. Thus Prof. Trow
bridge mentions a person whose Imagln-
ary map Indicates the directions of dis
tant places as Its degrees west ot their
real bearings, when he is at One Hundred
and Sixteenth street, and only 90 degrees
west when he Is at Forty-second street,
while, when he arrives Fourteenth street,
his Imaginary map disappears, or, In
other words, he conceives of directions
as they really are.
It appears to be possible to get rid of
an Imaginary map by careful education
of the eense of direction, and that being
so It behooves overyono who finds hlm
seir contused this way to take the neces
sary measures to correct his false Ideas.
In fact, about one-half of the mental
effort which Is now wasted by everybody
In consequence of erroneous notions
would bo saved, and th affairs of tho
world would run along much faster and
more smoothly. If oeonle would onlv take
ns much care of their mental mechanism
as they do ot their clocks and watches.

'h ileal Culture,
Suppose tho care of a. house and small
family devolves upon an' intelligent wo
man who believes It her duty to keop her-
' self as well and strong aa possible. Hpw
would she go about this, regarding tho
home as her gymnasUm and her bropm
and other household Utensils as her ap
paratus? This Is tho.regUno I outline for
her.
After a good night's sleep In a well
aired room, rise sufficiently early to do
ten minutes' breathing exercises, take a
cold bath or salt rub and dress properly
for housework. Uy" this I do pot mean a
loose wrapper thrown over an uncorseted
or badly corseted figure and run-over
shoes. A woman who attacks her day's
work clothed In sucn fashion hampers
herself as much as If she were to tie ono
arm to her side. Think a minute of tho
many discomforts and useless movements
that como from such slack dressing and
you will see that this statement Is tnot
an exaggeration. Tomorrow I will de
scribe what I consider .. proper working
costume.
