SEX IN WAGES.

Replying to an editorial in The TRIBUNE
on this subject The Rochester Democrat thus aiy dis
poses OF the whole subject:
The whole solution of the wages problem Hes with
women themselves Let them dc work that they
not paid for what they consider fair rate II they
ersst IN undertaking each other in labor market,
wages will never rise. They want 10 play the part Of
men 10 thia matter let them do then bOdly-demand
what they think just and they can't get IT, starve.
And while many Of the women quietly starving
they NAV console themselves with the reflection that
they suffer in the cause Of justice.

education. and will be tho means of
bearing them on 10 honor, wealth. and
power. Now, no view OF education is
more erroneous or injurious, yet it is the
usual one. And it is not surprising this
is the case when such stress is laid, IN
schools of every grade, upon the amount
Of knowledge acquired, and not upon the
thought aroused or inquiry suggested.
The world supposed 4 move had been
made in the right direction when object
teaching was first broachcd, but the sys-

hobbied by the one idea class it has fallen
almost into disrepuis. Still, it served
purpose. and will ultimately gain high

yet held
Whatever defects the system has, 1t Is
founded upon one grand truth, that
thought should be aroused before the
memory is SO burdened. 1t is not the cy'
clopedic mind that aids advancement and
improvement; it is the inventive.
thought producing mind. Facts are The
lulcrum. thought the Archimedean lever
which moves the whole fabric Of society.
The man of thought always holds the
first rank in public estimation. 4 poe,
is greater than king; but We must take
care we DO not destroy our poets by
choking their mental powers with the
vast accumulation Of truths We heap into
the student mind, for there Is danger
lest we leave no room in which IdealiiY
can work them into living forms and
glorious creations. Discipline Of mind
is necessary, That discipline that comes
only by severe, thorough study but
