Curious Statistics Concerning Men
Without Trades Or Professions.

In recent conversation with DIR. Gihon,
private Secretary of Gov. Gcary, we gained
curious fact concerning crime and men with
out trades or professions. DIR. Gihon has been
paying particular attention, lately, to the ap-
plications daily and almost hourly made for
Executive clemency and pardon. Those not
acquainted with the burdensome routine of Exc
cutife duty in this respect cannot possibly form
any idea OF the embarrassment, the harrow
ing solicitude and the overwhelming RESPONSE
billy OF properly welding the pardoning pow
ere The curious part of DR.. Gihon' statement
is, that in nineteen cases out OF twenty, young
convicts are men without trades or professions,
who have been left by their parents to reach
maturity without having undergone the disci
pline and the training acquired while learning
4s1a or studying a profession. When pa.
rents or friends applying for pardon for such
offenders have been asked why they were not
taught trades, the reply has been vouchsafed
=" lie loaS too ,0cdkly' He ocGS too SeHsitjre, +"
or " lie Thought at lCaS beneath him" Too
weakly, too sensitive, too proud to learn
trade, but not proud enough to keep out of the
penitentiaryl OF course we do not pretend to
assert that learning a trade or profession is the
sure way of keeping out of wrong doing
There are great raScalS among mecht MICS and
professional men. But the man who has a
trade or profession, is always the most indie

permanent success in life And what is also
true, in this connection in a practical way is the
lack of skilled labor in the United States
American boys for the last ten years have
been loath to learn trades. Too many of them
desire to WELD yard sticks instead of hammers,
saws and planes. The consequence now is,
| that skilled labor is scarce, and that the best
places in our workshops are filled by foreigners.
BY some kind of teaching we must reform this
evil. There must be more encouragement for
boys to learn tradeS-and the mechanical voca-
tiOn must be dignilied and elevated by being
recognised as worthy the study and the acquire
meat Of the most intelligent and most favored
in every community We met lad day or
two since from neighboring village, who was
on his way to enter one Of the large machine
shops in Philadelphia to learn a trade. lie
had an education to fit him for any profession,
and when he reaches his majority, he will be-
come the possessor of competency neverthe.
less the native good sense of the boy, backed
by the practical advise of an older brother in
duce him to learn a trade, and we predict that
boy will become a man Of responsibility and
influence in any community blessed hereafter
with his citizenship.
Gihon's observations and conclusions on this
subject are sound and practical. He thinks il
more boys learn trades future Governors of the
Commonwealth will have less applications fol
pardons to dispose of.-HarrtSJurg STATE
