A CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN.

Judge Packers viii, admitted to probate on Fri
day, gives a bequest of a million and half to the
Lclhgh University. with an additional @50O,00O TO
the library, which places that institution upon a
solid and permanent basis. 1t is the noblest contri
button 10 free education made by any American.
tie originally gave the ground sixty of wood
land upon a hill overlooking the quaint old Mora
Wan town of Bethlehem and 81 100000 in money
for the erection OF the buildings. establishment Of
Libraries, etc. The whole of the current expenses
Of the institution salaries, furnishing of aborator-
les, ObseryatOres, machinery, etc, were betrayed
quarterly by Judge Packer, by checks from his own
pocket The muniGcent endowment made by his
will viii sufIice to amply support every department
Many newspapers, in noticing this great
Polytechnic School, have stated that there
"are free scholarships to be obtained by competi-
tive examinations" or that "a certain number of
poor boys are admitted free of charge" This is
mistake. There are no charges for any student,
rich or poor the tuition, all of 1t, Is absolutely
gIatuitous. The University is a noble gift, from
man who struggled hard when boy for
an education, to boys who also are strug-
Cling to make men of themselves. Natur-
ally he placed most weight on the kind Of knOwl-
edge which he found most useful to himself A
full classical education is given, but the main OBJ
iect of the school is 10 give full instruction in gen.
era and analytical chemistry, agriculture, analyses
Of SOILS mining, civil and mechanical engineering
mneralogy and metalurgy, architecture, astron-
omy and the modern languages
The corps of professors includes several eminent
specialists and the standard of scholarship is held
exceptionally high. No lazy or dawdling pupil can
20 through the curriculum successfully. Judge
Packer and the faculty agreed in thinking that so
liberal and full an education should be given only
to men who deserve and. would use it.
The advantages offered in this Polytechnic School
have been better known probably abroad than at
home. Pupils are sent to it from Europe. Japan
and South America, among them nineteen young
Brazans, most Of whom were wards of Dom
Pedro's and sent by him. That shrewdest and
wisest of rulers was keensighted enough to see
good thing in any country which he could use for
the elevation of his people.

4 coon WORK IN GOOD HANDS.

The Women's Foreign Missionary Society
of the Presbyterian Church held It's annual
meeting recently in Philadelphia. Reports
were received from missions in India, China,
Syria, Persia, Africa, Siam, Japan, Mexico.
South America and among our own Indians.
There has been lately, not unreasonably, q
good deal Of prejudice among thinking
peoplc. both in and out of the churches,
against foreign missions. The good &C
complshed Is so small compared to
the amount Of money and labor expended, so
much smaller than it would be if the money
and labor were bestowed on our own heather
at home, that we are all too apt, perhaps, to
hout these earnest Christian efforts as chimer-
zeal and useless. The religious lever brought
TO bear on our Polynesian or Japanese
brother must be long and complex before it can
reach him. The money raised necessarily goes
10 clothing. feeding and transporting the
missionary, his family and servants, to the
field of work, before a single Bible is bought
or a word spoken to the heathen. AS some
body says in the current number of The At
Matic, apr0pos to missions in Syria, the
troughs are so long that it takes all the maple
sap to wet them, and not drop runs into the
kettle.
But whatever may be our just or unjust
objections to the general machinery OF this
enterprise, there is much in this wOmans work
to silence them. The money Is raised, con-
trolled and spent by women the missionaries
are women, and their work is among women
and children. They do not attempt to ar
que down the gigantic structure Of
Buddhism, or to arraign the subtle, profound
learning of the Brahmin against their own
three years. drill at a female seminary
Instead, they teach the ignorant doWn-trodden
women 10 sew, to read, to be clean and mod
est; they make of them better wives and
mothers they take the little children on their
knees, and touch by touch, day by day, bring
their plastic BODIES and minds into civilized
habits and action, and into both mothers and
children they try TO mstil the pure love Of
Christ At least that is what they are
sent to do, and what they ought to do,
and it is for this purpose that the women
in Philadelphia are working with such
zeal, and hitherto with exceptional success.
The moral, right-fceling part OF the cOmmu-
nifty. whether they are churchgoers or not,
will wish them godspeed, as they would any
other hearty rational effort to make the world
cleaner and better.
