You I Dress Goods, I ...Its Monc Union ' Progress in Art Three great institutions?Columbia University, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Academy of design ? have appointed committees to confer on a plan which, if it is adopted, will give to New York City and to the United States one of the largest art schools in the world and one of the best. The plan contemplates the union of the art forces of these three institutions. Columbia will organize and develop instruction in esthetics, the history of art and kindred subjects; painting, sculpture and design, now taught at the National Academy, will be taught as univer sitv sunjcets in 51 university atmosphere; and the museum will build up and arrange exhibits of educational value. Almost simultaneously with this announcement comes news of a million-dollar endowment left to the city of Chicago for the creation and erection, under wise supervision, of public monuments and statues in the parljs and along the boulevards. These things are interesting. Taken in connection with the steady purchase of good pictures by rich Americans and the increasing disposition to have artists of ability decorate the walls and ceilings of fine public buildings, they show a decided advance in the hold which art has upon the American people, and in the understanding of its use and value. American cities have suffered much from a lack of this understanding, and American towns have suffered more. The old-fashioned attitude of the "business man" toward the artist?the patronizing tolerance or amused contempt?has not only robbed life in the small towns of much that is good, hut has cost large sums in d >llars and cents; for good art, in the shape of attractive buildings, beautiful parks, fine statues, is the best of advertising. The attractions which the artist produces are among the most potent influences in drawing in new citizens of means anl cultivation.?Youth's Companion.

Report Causes Great Alarm In French Financial Circles. Paris, May 23. A sensation has been created here by the circulation of a report that advices have been received by a well known firm of French bankers, who have been active in the past in floating the Russian loans, from their confidential agent at St. Petersburg, stating that Admiral Rojcstvensky has died from dysentery and that Admiral Nebogntoff has assumed command of the Russian fleet, in Far Eastern waters. The report caused a semi-panic in certain quarters, but it is impossible to trace it or to determine where it originated. Members of the Russian embassy said, while they had heard such a rumor, they had received no advices of that character from the home government and the secretary, declared that if such a report had been received at St. Petersburg, it would have lxjen communicated to the embassy without delay. He was not inclined to Ixdieve the rumor, although he admitted that it might be so. On the other hand, persons best acquainted with Admiral Rojestvensk^s condition declare that the report may well Ihj true, as the last information received from the Paltic fleet, stated that he was very ill, and had to have a surgeon in constant attendance on him. Tokio, May 23.?According to a report which has been received here a junk, carrying a large number of Russian officers, has been captured near Vladivostok. An official report has been received from field headquarters in Manchuria, announcing several small attacks by the Russians on the Japanese posts in the ncighl>or lioocl of the Lion River on May 20. One Russian force attacked Tangshed, but was repulsed after a sharp engagement. The Russian losses were 300. C. B. B. on Common School Education. <+ ___ Mr. Editor: The article frul dished in last week's Timks, on "Education in the Common Schools," is worthy of careful i>crusal and serious thought. It is true that competent teachers have seldom been paid what their services were worth. Jt is also true that a number of unworthy teachers have gone into the business whose services were dear at any price. The result has been to lower the standard of education and reduce the wages so low that competent instructors have been driven from the common schools to the colleges or some other occupation where their services would be appreciated and command better pay. Teachers are responsible for the i physical, mental and moral training of their pupils. "The courses of study of our public schools become overloaded with an infinitude of trash." In an overcrowded course of study much of the work is necessarily superficial. But the teacher has "advanced" his pupils and the public is satisfied, it matters not how many physical wrecks have resulted from the cramming system inaugurated by the teacher. Yes, "Advanced rapidly in the direction of the grave?" The writer has made plain the fact that there is something radically wrong in our common school system. Any system that does not furnish correct spellers and good readers should lie improved or abandoned. A student that cannot tell what a letter represents, does not know the difference between a vowel and consonant, and spells so rapidly there is not tunc lor accent, articulation nor emphasis, I consider poorly taught . Mr. Editor I did not intend to write a communication on educa-. tion. According to I)r. William Osier's theory I was thrown into the rubbish heap, at least thirty years ago. I am glad of an opportunity to express my appreciation of the able article on education published last week. Hope you will bo able to give us "Our next" "Heaven send us some common grandmother sense." C. B. B. I nw Pntee Via TT T IM UVUillVI H Railway. Toronto, Ont.
