DEATH OF DR.. PEET.-Dr. Harvey
Prindle Peet, principal of the New York
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and
well-known the country over for his I'M
wearied efforts in behalf of the deaf and
dumb, died of congestion of the lungs on
Wednesday morning. DR.. Peet was a
native of Bethlehem, Conn, having
been born in that town in 1894. He
graduated at Yale with honor in 1922,
and the same year accepted an appoint
ment as an instructor in the asylum for
the deaf and dumb at Hartford, Conn.
The reputation he soon acquired as one
of the most efficient teachers of deaf
mutes in the world led to his being in
vited to take the position of principal of
the New York institution, which, under
der his care grew to be the largest school
of its class on either side of the Atlantic.
The publications of DR.. Peet for the
benefit of deaf mutes surpass in num-
Der, extent and value those of all other
American teachers combined.

A BROADER SYSTEM REormED.

But we want a system Of broader edu-
cation for the American people in the
arts of peace. 70 is perhaps unnecessary
at present 20 multiply institutions for
the training of professional men, as those
we have are equal to the task Of furnish
ing all that are needed, and some 'spro-
tesslonal supernumeries" not so much
needed. The great want is a system bv
which each one among the masses NAV
become more valuable to himself and to
society, and more honored and esteemed.
Agriculture and mechanic arts always
lack recruits, and must lack recruits that
have been drilled. Willing hands can
here find room for boundless enterprise.
Our own artisans, however, like too
many other Americans, most esteem the
dignity OF pecuniary profits and are gen
orally supposed to be more proud of
swift work than of the slxillful and dex-
ferrous. They wear out and leave too
lew honored names to gid their memo
rles and stamp their workmanship. Let
them be taught better. Agriculture also
should have such base of scientific in
struction as will enable every farmer to
obtain more valuable crops without an
annual and permanent depletion of the
soil. In Great Britain they have Ger
tainly studied agricultural economy bv
scientific methods longer and more pro-
foundly than we have ever been prompt

JOURNALISM

Though we have many papers, print
ed in English and German, those taking
the foremost rank are the Commercial
and BLADE, the latter having a circula-
ton of $4,000, and is edited by d. r..
Locke, better known to eastern pooyla
as Petroleum Y. Nasty.
He has lately established a magazine,
denominated Locke's Monthly, which is
achieving fair degree of success.
THE EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS
are well cared for. The Superintendent
of schools and the persons composing
the Board of Education, are men of
marked ability practical men selected
from the ordinary pursuits of life, who
believe in the teaching of things and not
books merely.
There are at present in the public
schools about 1000 pupils and 100
teachers. Through the munificence of
one of our residents, Mr.. Scott, the
sum of $50 900 has been donated to es-
tablish a college of arts and trades. This
is designed to meet the wants of the age.
and reflects additional honor upon the
giver, as it is departure from the beat
en- track. We have perhaps $50 colleges
in the United States, but how few poly
technic schools. The great desideratum
of our age is education. In this respect
we are far inferior to many of the coun-
tries upon the Continent Germany
gives her sons a trade; educates them
thoroughly in the avocation chosen,
hence thes superiority of German artifcers
over our own.
1t should be humiliating thought to
an American, that all the finest statuary
paintings, glass, ETC., comes over the
blue waters, and for the simple reason
that our artizans are not educated in the
right direction. This is a question of
great Importance, and will increase in
proportion as the years glide by.

Cutting Under.'

People often complain that the prices
of the productions if their hands OF
brains, are rot remunerative, when the
simple truth is, the fault lies with
themselves. We will try TO illustrate
t he fact.
Our merchants aud mechanics are
paying four dollars to four aud a hall
for wood, aud selling goods aud doing
work at tair prices in payment for the
same. But here stands "shyster' at
the corner who would banter the wood
man, Offering him less price, but will
pay a. cash. viii you take it. If s.,
down comes the price Of WOOL and then
you blame our business men, charging
that they produced the result which
you yourself pro iced. Now il the
woodman undertakes his own merchan
die, how can he expect to keep the
price up?
1t is precisely SO with the artizan,
mechanic, or literary genius. In nine
cases out Of ten it is their own ia ult
that prices are "ruinous" or even "not
remunerative"
We would not advocate exorbitlnt,
but remunerative prices, always Will
shrewd, cool, calculating business men,
competition is myth; they know their
business better than to "cut under, .
and, mark it when and where you will
the man who is constantly "cutting ua-
der" is the man who will first cut
himself out Of business.
Trade regulates itself, just as do the
tides. IL will cbb aud flow, and flow
and ebb again, but the skillful mari
ner floats over the main undisturbed
and unframed, while the "side hitter
is liable TO be engulfed by the slightest
wave. Carry steady hand, then, it
you would sail smoothly, and never
wreck your own craft, or that Of your
neighbor, by a game called "cutting

AN ARABIAN FABLE.-An Arabian
fable narrates that an evil genus be-
came enamored of the beautiful daugh-
ter of bashaw Of Bagdad. Finding
her affections engaged, and that she
would not listen to another wooer, the
genus resolved TO avenge himself upon
the maiden by mastering the soul of
her lover. Having done so, he told
her he would remove the malignant po-
session only on condition that should
give him her heart She promised.
The lover was restored, and the wick.
ed spirit demanded the fulflment Of
her word. She answered. Il would
yield you my heart if | had 1t, but |
have it not. One cannot give what
one does not have. 1t is in another's
keeping; it belongs to the man ! adore.
Ask him for it. If he refuse, you
have no redress, for you cannot twice
possess the same soul, and your alleg-
lance to Amaimon compels you to abide
by any covenant you may make with
mortals." The genus saw he was foil
ed and roaring with Impotent rage, he
disappeared The daughter Of the bas-
haw was a very smart woman. She
was tactician. Woman, by her tact,
has always been able to control her
and exercise the spirit Of evil.

when it was written. Give woman
half a chance with the devil, say the
Spaniards, ard he viii be outwitted.

Our youth is filed with the visions
Which future years shall bring;
We long foI the free mid ummer,
And scorn the blossoms of Sprin &.
Yet In our eager race onward,
The noontide is full of strife;
And amidst its struggle and turmoil,
We sigh for the autumn Of life.
In Autumn our hearts grow restless,
Cur hopes float sadly away,
And life seems hardly worth living
Bereft Of the dreams Of May.
The snow drifts over our treasures,
The shortest winter is best;
December shall find us longing
For dreamless, peaceful rest.
