 THE GALLEY SLAVE.
 Last evening MT. Bartley Campbells play, 'The Galley Slave" was given in Peck's Grand Opera House to fine audience, and it is safe to say that the public anticipation of it was fully satisfied. The play is poetic ere ation, marvelously we'll portrayed, and pos sesses such strong features that it cannot fail to become one of the most popular dramas of the day. The company, which is strong one, threw into the performances 8 degree of spirited enthusiasm that was refreshing and delightful withal, and the warmsst applause was bestowed upon them. The costumes of the ladies were superb and the play was inter- esting throughout The play will be given this afternoon at matinee and again in the evening. The house should be crowded at both performances

Igent classes of the community, that draw ing in the public schools is very generally re-
 garded as asuperfuity, and is stigmatized as 8
 mere accomplishment, as an absurd contriv-
 ance for converting all children into bad
 artists. The most practical study of all is
 denounced as a hindrance and stumbling
 block to practical education. This popular
 sentiment against drawing shows how far we
 are from being prepared to take the first ef-
 fective step toward providing well organized
 system of national technical education. That first necessary step is to make the teaching of drawing obligatory in all common schools,
 and to provide for it's efficient teaching by the establishment of g sufficient number of normal art schools for the training of compe- tent teachers and directors of drawing, not only in the elementary but in the higher grounds. Mr. Philbrick explained and urged the formation of technoIogical museums.

AnInterrupted Journey.

In going aboard the steamer City of New York Thursday evening, to take passage foi New York, Mrs. Commodore Rudd fell from the forward gang plank into the water. Her son, Ensign Braunersreuther, of the Mime sotn, was at her side when she fell, and he inn mediately sprang into the stream and seized her and kept her ahoat until some of the boat hands lowered Q ladder by which she was drawn up to ths wharf. In falling Mrs. Rudd struck her head upon the plank, it is sup posed, for she was unconscious when in the water, and but for the timely assistance ren- dered her she would have drowned. She was conveyed to the office of the steamboat com paay, where restoratives were administered, and thence to her home. To-day she sui fered from nervous prostration, but not to an extent that will debar her from again at- tempting tonight the journey so unplecsantly interrupted last evening.-New London Tele. gram.

Drawing in the Schools.

In another room in the building is an ex- hibition of about twelve hundred drawings made by the pupils of the High School, these drawings comprising perspective drawings from objects and from nature, a few copies combinations, which are greatly admired and show an astonishing degree of skill and prog ress in this department of study under Prof. Bail.
 We learn that these works are to be exhib- ited to the public with an addition of several hundred drawings by the pupils of the gram mar schools during the graduating exercises of the High School in about two weeks. It seems that every intelligent person ought to appreciate the importance of drawing to all classes, especially to mechanics, but it is just as MT. J. D. Philbrick, of Boston. remarked at the National Educational Association last February 18th, regarding Industrial and Technical Education in Relation to EIemen- tary Schools" We give his remarks as fol- lows
 Industrial Education. J. D. Philbrick, of Boston, presented strong and carefully prepared paper on Industrial and Technical Education in Relation to Elementary Schools, in which it was urged that perhaps the great est thing that can be done in the common school to promote technical education, is properly to ground all pupils of both sexes in drawing, both geometrical and free e-hand. There is no other branch of instruction that belongs so entirely both to general and tech nical education. It affords the training of the eye and hand universally requisite, and especially necessary to the skilled workman. It is the foundation of all industrial art, and yet so great is the prevailing ignorance on this subject, even among the more intel
