Common Sense in Education.

A school director of a rural township of
ON interior county in Pennsylvania, who de-
scribes himself as friend of education
because he knows the want of it, read
paper recently at q teachers meeting
which is more replete with common sense
than is usual with compositions Of the
kind 1t is especially interesting because of
the hints it gives us not only of the growth
of the public school system in that State,
but of the difficulties it was compelled to
meet and overcome The school directors of
forty years ago, Mr.. Wilhelm tells us took no
interest in the system, and large part Of the
people was opposed to it. The teachers
were only remarkable for "their bad tongues,
their long fingers and the hoop-pole punish
ment they inflicted on the children" Mr..
Wilhelm goes further, and gives an in
stance of a teacher who tried a milder dis
cipline and was compelled to relinquish his
school because of such an unheard of inno-
vation. ''That was the beginning of
new era" says the director; sthe
impressions he made remain, and MS
the victims of the rod grew up they begun
where he was obliged to leave off " As con-
sequence of the introduction of a little COM
mon sense into the prevailing notions of edu-
cation inhumanity was banished from the
school room, and the public school system
became the very bulwar1 Of the State.
Enmities ceased and prejudices disap-
peared. A greater interest was taken in the
schools and a better class of teachers en-
ployed. Now there is no better school sys-
tenn in any of the States than in Pennsylva-
nia but in no part of the country must the
people fail to remember that common school
education is only in its infancy. The sys-
tenn needs all the encouragement which
school officers, teachers and parents can
give it, and, above oil, it needs that practical
common sense which in few years, COM
paratively, has raised the public schools Of
Pennsylvania from what they were to what
they are. There is nothing that we possess
for which we ought to be more thankful than
the system of free education which has now
become almost universal and the numberess
blessings which have been the result of the
system.

Church and state in France.

Its disposition to support religious insti-
tutions has put the government in France
in collision with the republicans in the
Chamber. Attitudinizing was, perhaps, the
primary idea Of Prince Napoleon in his
speech on the estimates for public wor-
Ship" yet he cast frebrand into the dis
cussion, for the relation of State and Church
is one of the points that most profoundly
divide parties in France. If Prince Napo-
leon had spoken for the imperialists it would
have been of some significance to find
him arrayed against the Church, since if
that party and the pronounced republicans
were to act together this item would be cut
out of the budget and crisis would be-
come imminent. But it is we'll known that
his words never have any deeper inspiration
than the little wit of which he is the per-
sonal possessor. It was, therefore, in the
last degree impolitic for the legitimists to
reply to his assault by offensive references
to the history of the Empire. This skirmish
may, through their folly, yet prove the pre-
them on this important ISSUE Plon Plon
takes ground boldly as leader of the anti
Church agitation, but the caustic refer
ences to the Empire from the republicans
seem to indicate that their memory is too
good for him to become dangerous 1t is
possible, however, that there is even yet a
field in France for princes envious of the
fame of Philip Egalite, and it is certain that
this poor specimen of the Bonapartes has
stirred q smouldering fire, ready to burst
into flame. The defeat of the Ministry on
an item in the estimates for public worship
is an instructive indication that IN effective
majority of the House differs definitely with
the government on the obligations of the
country toward religious institutions, and
this dispute once fairly opened must lead to
very troublesome agitations.

The Weather.

Yesterdays cold took New York by sur
prise, judging from the expression of aston
ishment and dismay depicted on the faces
of the shivering pedestrians that hurried
through the streets. But the temperature
as experienced in this city was almost tropi-
cal when compared with that which pre-
vailed in the West and Northwest, particu-
larly in the early morning. From
Northern Dakota to the Lower Missouri
Valley the thermometer indicated from
20 degrees below to zero. Thence to
the Gulf of Mexico the temperature
varied from zero to 32 degrees above,
or freezing point. Northwnrd of Punta
Rassa, Fla, there was no point in the United
States east of the Rocky Mountains that
had higher temperature than 36 degrees,
or degrees above freezing. This remark
able area OF cold is almost unprecedented in
extent and presents some interesting features
to the observer. 1t is rare to record the fact
that the weather was two degrees colder at
New Orleans than on the northeasterly
coast Of Nova Scotia, region which is gen.
orally associated with all that is cold and
miserable Yet such has been the case.
The pressure yesterday was extremely

federal service have to be paid out of the
national Treasury. and it would be impossi-
BILE to get dollar appropriated for that
purpose with democratic majority
in the House of Representatives. The
militia would not serve for any length
of time without pay, and there will
be no means of paying them SO. long as
a democratic House holds the purse strings.
The appropriations were SO cut down at the
late session as to cause complaints that they
are insufficient for ordinary purposes.
With scant means for keeping the govern
mental machine in motion in time of peace
where are the resources to come from for
paying militia? 1t is idle to talk of increas-
ing the army when not a soldier can be
enlisted without the consent of Congress
and it is equally idle to talk Of supplement-
ing the regular army by State militia when
there is no money to pay them. The House
of Representatives holds complete check
on the President if he should attempt to use
any other military force than the diminutive
army which Congress has authorized and for
which it has made appropriations. Even
the means of supporting this small army
will be exhausted on the 1st Of July unless
the House consents for new bill providing
for its future pay. A new administration
can 60 on only for brief period of four
months without further legislation, and it
is not probable that the democratic House
will pass any appropriation bills in the COM
ing session until after the second Wednes-
day Of February. If the democrats are
cheated out OF the election they can block
the wheels Of the government, and this
fact may have some influence in arrest
ing the boldness of the administra-
tion. We hope that, after o full sur
vey of the situation, both parties
will see the folly of attempting to overreach
each other and will recognize their power
lessness to carry on the government with
the public sentiment of the country against
them. 1t is only by demanding nothing
which is not clearly just that either can
command the support of the country, and
the one which has not the support of the
country will be forced to succumb. We
hope this retreat of the administration may
pave the way for pacific settlement

LIFE Insurance has become matter Of
so much Importance that anything which
reflects upon the integrity with which tho
business is conducted cannot fail to prove a
serious injury. If the fears of many of the
policy holders in the defunct Continental
relating to a scheme between its stock
holders and the New Jersey Mutual,
by which both are to profit by the
acceptance by the lgtter of the policies
of the former, are well founded the
whole business would suffer immensely.
The whole subject is treated in another col
umn, and it will be seen from the state of
facts there presented that it is of the utmost
importance that the condition of the Conti-
mental Company should be fully explained
by the receiver who has its affairs in charge

A Great Disappointm

Notwithstanding the efforts Of the British
people to appear satisfied with the perform
ance of polar expeditionists, deep sense Of
disappointment pervades the nation at the
failure Of the attempt to plant the ensign Of
st. George at the North Pole This feeling
is rather strongly expressed in English
journals, especially those devoted to naval
affairs, and bears out our own opinions OF
the conduct of the expedition. 1t is clear that,
although many difficulties presented them
selves to Captain Mares and his companions,
none were so great as to warrant the aban-
donment of the attempt after one seasons
trial. 1t looks as if conclusions based upon
the merest surmises were eagerly jumped
at to form an excuse for returning to
more comfortable climate than that expert
enced in latitude S3 deg. 20 min. 26 sec.
The instructions given by the Admiralty to
the commander of the exploring ships clearly
indicate that the government did not expect
the return Of the expedition until after at
least two years, and it was fully understood
that provision was to be made for the relief
Of the Alert and Discovery by sending ship
to the entrance of Smith Sound in 1877.
The story Of the trials and dangers of the
explorers certainly proves that their labors
in the cause Of science were not holiday
sports but no one expected they would be,
for the experience gathered by previous ex-
peditions showed that the Pole can only be
won by the most courageous efforts on the
part of those who seek to reach it.
Incongruities appear too frequently in
the official report submitted to the Ad-
miralty to secure for that document the
confidence of the English people. 1t reads
too much like paper prepared with the
special object Of giving good color to a
very poor piece of work. 1t is filed with
ridiculously so, that neutralize the effect
produced by the really interesting informa-
ton it contains and when it seeks to settle
the question of polar exploration by stating
that the Pole cannot be reached the effect is
to raise doubts instead of to in
sure conviction. Particular stress is
laid by Captain Mares on the perma-
nent character Of the ice formations
surrounding the Pole. He has given this
barrier Greek name and expects that to
settle everything; but he gives us the
soundings taken in sea covered perma-
nently, as he says, by ice one hundred and
twenty feet thick. We publish to-day a
long and interesting letter, with map of
the latest discoveries, from Dr. Hayes, the
Arctic explorer, who explains therein his
reasons for not accepting without further
question the report of Captain Mares and
his officers There is no doubt but that this
document will receive more attention from
the critics than the writers anticipated, and
that the enthusiasm that now greets the re-
turn of the explorers may be changed to q
feeling of another kind. We regret the
failure of Captain Mares but we would
much rather he would call it a failure and
spare us the details that only provoke smiles
from experienced Arctic navigators.

boy does, as the business of his whole life,
but as something which will have to be
dropped when at last she comes to the real
business Of life for woman, which is to be
a wife and mother
Now, 1t results from this that the women
who do not marry and who do enter the
labor market are in an exceptional position
they are disabled by many circumstances.
and by none more than that there remains
always the doubt in their minds and that OF
their employers whether they will not some
day leave off days work and marry. 1t is .
pity and hardship that women should labor
under any disadvantages, and the societies
which are established to seek and supply
work to women who want to work deserve the
public aid and sympathy.
