ing the report and recommendations of the in-- 53spector on each of the four following pointa
(a) The suitability of the instruction to the $48.437.53 circumstances of the children and the neigh-⠀
bourhood; (b) the thoroughness and intelli- gence with which the instruction is given; (c) the sufficiency and suitability of the staff; (d), the discipline and organization. The first test is a new one, and will give teachers and man- agers the opportunity of varying the instruction given in accordance with the needs of the. locality. Hitherto little difference has been made between town and country schools, with the result that school work has too often been a thing apart from the ordinary life; of the child. Now, however, those respon- sible for the carrying on of the schools are to be encouraged to carve out their own schemes of instruction, and to experiment with a freedem hitherto unknown. The teachers "may, if they choose, deviate a little from the routine which has become a second nature, or they may introduce innovations both numerous and various" Similarly the inspectors are freed from the chains of examinations, and will judge of the success of the instruction by observation. of the habits of the children, and examination of the papers worked under the supervision of the teachers of the classes. It will, no doubt, be some time before teachers and managers will have the courge to break through the weight of custom; but the ultimate result of the new policy of elasticity cannot fail to be of the highest value, both in humanising the instruc tion given, and in bringing the school, into closer relation with the child's life and prospects.
The Sultan of Sulu has granted Prince Poniatowski (a French subject) a concession to develop the
of Palawah, the southernmost of the Philippine islands. The papers bearing upon the concession are now at Washington, where the matter is under con- sideration Prince Poniatowski is at present in San Francisco, where he is well-known, being a director in the Crocker Woolworth bank Should the validity of the concession be admitted by the U. S. Government it is intended thoroughly and systematically to develop and exploit the island. Should the validity of the concession. be denied, then the corollary follows that the Sultan of Sulu is not autocratic, but holds his sovereignty under the United States, and cannot act independently. It is said that the Sultan is inclined to resent any attempt at interference, and the result of denying him the right to make the concession might possible end in war.—Straits Times.

JOHANNESBURG, September 12th. The trial was here begún to-day of Corneris Broeksma, a Hollander, and formerly Public Prosecutor here, on the charges of breaking the oath of neutrality, treachery, and treason. The president of the Court was Colonel Bail, of the Welsh Regiment, The evidence con- sisted wholly of documents found in the house of the accused. It included a long printed pamphlet in Dutch for distribution among the Boers who are still fighting. The pamphlet recommends all Boers in the field to take an oath to continue shooting Englishmen as long as God gives them, breath. Two hundred copies of the pamphlet have been printed, and all but a very few have been distributed. The documents comprise letters to Dr. Leyds, under the name of Dr. Williamson, care of the American Consul.

along part of which the railway has been laid, Travellers have seen wagons crammed to the top with Mausers passing along the railway construction. Trains, running out of Hankow for a few miles, are also being utilised for the carriage of arms. Even in Pechili villagers are now known to possess rifles and ammunition though it is believed that the distribution has been most general in the provinces of Shensi, Shansi, and Honan..
At the trial of Mr. Broeksma to-day profound, sensation was caused in the Court when a type-written document was read, signed by Lewis Botha, purporting to be a proclamation to the officers of the two Republics desiring them not to be uneasy over Lord Kitchener's proclamation,
