A SUGGESTION TO PASTORS.

DR.. Thomas 8. Hastings. the pastor Of the Presby-
terrain Church in West Forty-second street, III this
city has large and interested audience in his church
every Sunday afternoon. He does not attempt to
preach formal sermon but talks Familiarity on
topics suggested by the people themselves. Any one
Of his congregation wishing light passage of
Scripture, Scripture doctrine question OF prac
tca duty sends in request in writing for the dis
cusson of the topic. These requests taken mp by
the pastor in turn and this close relation OF the
themes to the congregation insures practical and
interesting treatment OF the themes. This plan of
work may be worth the consideration of those pas
tors who find 1t difficult to the attendance of
their people at the second service. 1t has worked
excellently in this case.

The result of the Education Act OF

primary schools OF the United Kingdom,
and add amilliou and half to the num-

School Boards of England and Wales
have under their authority to contract
debt, borrow about S25, ,Oo0, 900 for the
purpose Of expediting the organization
OF schools under this uewslaw.
They still fall short Of supplying the
necessities of the kingdom, as it is esti.
mated that over a million of the school

A NUMBER OF firms that are closing
up with crash trace their heavy losses
to misoslculation of the profits of the
Eastern war. The suspension of the
Jewell Brothers, proprietors of the
Brooklyn City Mills, the largest -four
ing establishment in the country, was
owing mainly to that cause. On the
breaking out of the war they bought
grain very heavily, expecting an in-
creased demand from abroad and an ad.
vance in prices. Instead Of that there
was falling off in prices of twenty to
thirty cents bushel in wheat. The
losses incurred then in connection with
others have forced the concern into sus-
pension.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN GREAT BRIT

With all her wealth aud progress
Great Britain has been far behind the
United States in providing means for
the elementary education OF her children.
Up to 1869, when Parliamentary In.
quiry was made into the means in use
tor primary instruction, it was found
that the number of establishments tor
that purpose subject to official inspec.
tion in England was but little over seven
thousand, and that the entire number OF
registered pupils did not exceed mill
ion and a quarter. At that time the
total expenditure in the United King.
dom, including State, local ana private,
aid, as well as tuition fees paid by pu'
pills, did not make the sum of ten mill.
ion dollars per annum--a less sum than
that devoted each year for the same
purpose by the single State of New
York. Up TO this period not one-fourth
OF the children Of the poorer classes OF
England, Wales and Ireland enjoyed
any educational advantages whatever.
In Scotland, however, things in this re-
spect were in more satisfactory
condition, as there an old law
compelled every parish to maintain a
public school, and compulsory attend
ance insured at least rudimentary ed
noation to all her children.
A great change has been wrought
Rrif nj Hut In tbn
very few years past by the Education
Act Of 1870 which act was the result of
the Parliamentary inquiry OF the year
before! That act provides that each To-
eality shall have means of education ad-
Pquate for the whole number of chill
dren Of proper age. No pupil could be
obliged to receive religious instruction
or take part in religious exercises in
the schools thus provided against the
Wishes Of his parents or guardians. A
School Board, chosen by the taxpayers,
was provided for for each district,
whose powers are very broad-having
the authority to dete mine the local reg
ulatlons, employ teachers, fix the school
age, make the attendance compulsory or
voluntary at it's option, and establish
penalties tor non-attendance. 1t Is pro-
yided, however, that no penalties shall
be enforced until after the defaulting
parents or guardians have received an
adRonitiOn.
Women, with the necessary property
qualifications, are expressly made cleo
tors, and are eligible to positions on the

The visiting brother asked what no.
