Education of Labor.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Thank you for your article Education o.
Labor in Saturdays paper. That there il
great need of such education there are many
to admit, but the demand for it has not vel
been made sufi GENTLY earnest. Pray continue
this good work. Awaken the artisan to {
knowledge of the benefits to be gained, ant
convince the capitalists that it will not only
bring money to them, but save money fl
them. We who cannot get at the public ar
yet are dependent upon the public for trese
advantages, look to you powers of the pres to
blow the trumpet for u.s. We need in Port.
land art education, instruction in 1he first
principles of art, some chance for tose who
have the inclination to study, and such an in
terest as will develop the dormsnt power in
many who are not yet CONSCIOUS OF it.
Organized public instruction free to the
people, is work of time, good move
to,oard that blessed consumnation would be
the opening of any school construction in art
Do you know that in a city of thirty-fve
thousand inhabitants thee is no opportunity
for an art student t. pursue systematic
course of study?
Inc promise OF ueuio Aoin"fhs upou tne
subject in your erticle, encourages the hope
that there is al awakening interest. That
there is benefit and profit and pleasure to be
gained noboI can deny. And we lose much
every day we neglect the pure refining infu-
ence of Beauty. And what is art but the wor-
ship of lhe BEAUTIFUL? Be her apostles, good
editors, preach earnestly, ''cry aloud and spare
not" A, Fl. H.

Persons who in most things are prompt to obey the
dictates of common sense, too often neglect them
when they point to the necessity Of promptly revival
izing the depleted body and the wearied mind. And
yet how foolish and dangerous it is to neglect such
monitions! Disease follows closely the track of
weakness and exhaustion Arrest his silent but rap
stride by prompt invigoration. The most reliable
agent that can be selected for this purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, palatable hygeian elixir
which possesses the true requisites for tonng regu
lating and tranquilizing both body and mind, and
which is besides the chosen remedy of the American
people for relieving weakness or disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, as well as the numerous
array of complaints which ultimately follow derange-
ments of these organs.
