William J. Bryan, in an address at
Muscogee, I. T., on ‘‘democracy,”’
has been pointing out many changes
which have taken place in his party’s
aspirations since the St. Louis con

hanves. ““Radical democracy,’’ he
says. is to be at the front in the con

figure. The sordid and vulgar stamp
of politics represented by Hill, Bel

to everything for which Bryan stood.
Bryvan fought Parker and the things
which Parker typified in the conven

that body he was overwhelmingly vin

is correct in saying that the radical
democracy will run the party in 1908.

NEW YORK CITY'S IGNORANT CHILDREN
Thousands Have Never Been Mere Than Block from Home. Know
Little of Nature, and Have Never Seen Any Country Animals.
Astonishing cases of ignorance,
not only of nature but of their own
enviroment, on the part of the school
children of New York, have come to
light as the result of joint labors of
the American Museum of Natural
History and the board of education.
Thousands of the pupils have never
‘wandered more than three or four
blocks from the street in which they
were born, and the book of nature is
practically sealed to them. The only
animals they ever have seen are
horses, dogs and cats; the only bird
with which they are familiar is the
English sparrow.
““How many chidren on the east side
have ever seen a cow, for instance?’’
asked George H. Sherwood of the mu
seum. ‘‘l venture to say there- are
thousands and thousands of them.
The question was asked of a class of
sixty the other day. Only one boy
raised his hand.
¢ ‘Well, how big is a cow?”’ ‘So
big,’ was his reply, spreading his
hands to a width which would indicate
the length of a dog. ‘Did you ever see
one?’ he was asked. ‘Oh, sure,” was
the reply. ‘I saw it in the window of a
dairy—a piecture of it.” "’
Answers such as that, it is argued,
show the futility of trying to teach
anything in the way of natural science
by pictures or photographs.
. Never Get Far From Home.
It would be thought, for instance,
that pupils might go to the parks to
observe the ways of birds and animals.
There are many east side children
who have never seen Third avenue, a
a street which is less than three-quar
ters of a mile from a school in which
the inquiries were made.
Dr. Bumpus, director of the museum
recently instituted a series of lectures
for school children. They were
brought to the leeture hall of the mu
seum. Hundreds of them never in all
their lives had been on the elevated
railroad and often in one class there
were five or six children who were ill
after their journey.
Mr. Sherwood is now engaged in the
preparation of his annual reportin
connection of his work of bringing
the museum in touch with common
schools. .
“Many of the teachers,’”’ he said,
iy year or so ago wrote to Dr.
Bumpus asking him to give them a
few specimens for use in their nature
talks, which are now required. The
director gave orders that small col-i
lections should be made up and lent

were placed collections of stuffed

Natural History in the Schools.
““There were eight kinds of cabinets
in all, and each school got one for
three weeks at a time. They have
been circulated in the year through 150
schools, and the specimens have been
seen and handled by about 270,000 pu
pils. The result has been an increased
interest in nature study.
‘““We have had a course of lectures
for teachers and the attendance of
school children at the museum has
risen from 5,000 a year to 43,000. The
most popular of the collections have
been those of the stuffed birds, of
which there are ninety boxes.
“Dr. Bumpus has received many
letters from public school pupils tell
; ing of their appreciation of the collee
ltions. Here is one from an eastside
girl, who says she thinks the blue jay
’is pretty, but she likes the Ehglish
sparrow best of all because it was the
‘only bird she had ever,seen alive.
‘The stuffed birds are taken from the
cases and handed about the class
room.
“Often the teacher has to make a
descent to rescue some of the birds,
for the children will press the birds
upon their breasts and stroke their
plumage for half an hour at a time.
‘A principal in a school in the
lower part of the city kept an unrully
class for whom he had no teacher stilli
for more thain hour by letting theml
look at some of the bird cases which
he had received. 1

make excursions to Coney Island,

A BABY EVERY FIVE MINUTES.
New York’s Birth Rate Higher Than
Any Other City in United States.
Births in this city at the rate of one
every five minutes are recorded by the
health department for the past week
during which period 2,011 were re
ported, says a New York dispatech.
It was announced at the health de
partment that the birth rate of New
York has now risen to about 31 per
1,000, and is higher than any other
city in the United States. Five or six
years ago, when there was so much
talk about the race suicide, the birth
rate in New York city was only 26 per
1,000. The prospect now is that in
1906 it will be 3Z.

’ b
il)mmn,-rats and Republicans Think
He Has Seriously Weakened
His Power for Good.
L A Washington dispatch says: In
‘the opinion not only of democrats but
lof many prominent republicans as
well, President Roosevelt has made
the blunder of his administration by
his refusal to permit the secretary of
the navy, Paul Morton, to be prose
cuted for his share in the responsibil
ity for granting of rebates by the
Santa Fe road, of which Morton was
vice president in charge of freight
tratfic, in violation not only of the
law but also of an express injunction
of the court. As a result of the presi
ldent’s refusal Judson Harmon, who
sat in Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet at the
same table as Paul Morton’s father,
and Frederick Judson, who together
were retained as special counsel to
prosecute the case of the government
against the Santa Fe, have resigned,
and the president has been compelled
to make public the correspondence
connected with the case, which he does
with great gusto and with the appar
ent conviction that he is entirely in
the right, but with what competent
judges declare to be an aggregation
of the most specious arguments which
were ever presented by a high official
of the government. ;
~ In the estimation of prominent dem
‘ocrats and many leading republicans
the president has seriously weakened
if not destroyed his power for good.
He has established the dangerous pre
cedent that where corporations are
caught in flagrant violations of the
law the officers responsible for such
violations are not to be prosecuted,
but the corporations themselves. Of
course this is farcial, as it merely
means the infliction of a fine on the
corporations, when they are found
out, and a fine of such small propor
tions as to aet in no way as a de
terment from repetition of the crime.
With no disgrace following the perpe
tration of such illegal practices the
officials will naturally regard it as
their duty to their stockholders to dis
regard the law whenever they believe
they are safe from detection.
The president is also bound to be
severely censured for the extent which
