TRAINING THE BOYS TO BE LEGISLATORS

NEW YORK.—Educators are watching with much interest the work that is being done in the Peter Minuit school where there is a club of boys who are being trained in the procedure of legislative bodies and the theories and methods of government. The lads have a regularly organised "house of representatives” with a speaker and representatives from each state and they carry on debates in formal manner with all due regard to the rules governing such a body. The club is named the City History club.
