want preachers whose preaching tends in
that direction. In our schools we want that
kind Of teaching that will turn out their pu-
pills with an ardent tfor knowledge and
an honest love for work. We are lucky,
with our present schools, il their influence is
not exactly in the opposite direction
Last winter proposal was made in our
legislature TO appropriate considerable sum
for the establishment Of town Libraries. The
plan failed to commend itself to the assem-
bled wisdom Of the state aud one Of the az
gumcnts used against It was that the libra
ric, would not be kept up by thetovns, that
the books would soon I've lost or destroyed.
This was in New England, you know; and
the nip of it was that there is in it good
deal Of truth and real knowledge Of the dis
position Of the public in many ways.
In our humble opinion, such an effort was
a beginning at the wrong end Our state is
practically out Of debt, and has abundant
resources for all desirable public ends. But
it seems TO MS that the way to get Libraries
into the towns is first, to sustain good
normal school in every county, in Whsh ;he
ant of teaching shall be thoroughly taught
Then, with these teachers, bet lbs have well
organized and graded schools ia every town.
where scholars can be taught thoroughly
taught, II they be taught nothing bat a
thorough mastery Of their own language,
common arithmetic. the elements Of geogra-
phs, and of the political. social and religious
history Of America. In the study Of the
English language, its reading, writing and
composition, the exercise books may easily
be made, with the aid Of skiliul teacher,
not only to teach the language, bnt to inspire
a taste for literature, art and science. With
these tastes difused through community,
how long would that community be without
a library Of books to feed the intellectual
hunger the schools had created And as
the increase Of wealth proceeds. provided
the benefits Of its general diffusion can be
secured and the leisure hours from manual
toll increase with it, what is to prevent the
equally general diffusion Of true culture
among the people For culture Of this
kind is thing that grows rapidly by what
it feeds upon, \ library in every town
well cared for read and increased year by
year. would soon give us, among other good
things, an industrial college. No man more
than the one who is mostly self-educated it
his leisure hours, feels what an advantage
systematic training would have been to him
and he is the man who will work and pay t.
secure such an advantage to his children
Aud he will demand that peoples colleg
should not educate its pupils away from
the peoples work. Such are our visions o
"the good time coming.

INDIANS FOR SoLDIERs.-A suggestion
thrown out at Washington, in the interest OF
economy in the management Of the regular
army, is that Indians in Arizona and else
where on the border be enlisted as soldiers.
The argument is that as they are already
clothed aud fed at the government expense,
they might as well be utilized as soldiers,
and it is claimed that they would imbibe
more ideas OF civilized life under the strict
ness of military rule than they now do in
their idle and shiftless lives. BY this ar
rangemont the present number of troops
could be kept good without any increase
over the present aggregate expenses Of the
government, but there would be some room
for doubt as to the efficiency and reliability
of a military force thus made up The aver
age Indian Of these days, however, is pretty
poor material to work upon for either civil
or military uses.
