MANUFACTURING TEACHERs.-A correspon
dent of tho San Francisco Chronicle indulge,
in some sensible remarks on the present
school system, and the providing Of teachers
for our public institutions: Theory is every
thing; bookshnessi is everything; brain-cram-
ming is everything. Adaptation, experience,
executive ability, tact, skill, enthusiasm
these are nothing, or next to nothing, and
have no place among the qualifications OF
teachers! Cram-cram-cram! these are the
great essentials of a great school teacher. As
a natural result many of those who become
successful in obtaining FIRST class certificates
are decidedly peculiar. Among them fire.
qusntly appear lsnguid girls yet in short
dresses, prseooious boys still fondling their
tops, monkish students ignorant Of human ma
ture, normal graduates with the most ridcu
lous notions, mathematical fools, literary lu-
natics and a number of old women of both
sexes. Among them all, numerous fine sehol
ars and excellent teschers, who, however we're
powerle3s under the old system to prevent the
unworthy from enteriag an occupation sacr ID
to Minerva and to Liberty" Carl Schurz, in
the present educational system in vogue in
the United States, is the worst in the world
This is the reason that young man can 90
through tho public schools and take collie
giate course only to find after graduating that
he knows little or nothing of practical uso.

A pretty American girl in Rome went fire
quently into the streets unattended, con
trary to the custom there. The young
Romans followed and annoyed her, until
she invented novel method of rebuffing
them. She provided herself with pocket
full of centesimi, each the value of a fifth of
a cent, and whenever a man spoke to her,
pretending to utterly mistake his words,
she gracefully extended her hand and
dropped this fifth Of cent into his hand,
saying, in her broken italian, Hungry,
are you, poor man? Well, take this and

A False Alarm.

some or the republican papers are wasting
good deal OF argument and space in fighting
the bill recently brought before the House to
provide method for counting the electoral
votes. There is not the slightest danger of this
or any other bill of the character being passed
at this session of Congress, and therefore the
subject need not cause any alarm. When the
last Congress refused to enact a new electoral
count law 1t was decided by the democrats
who, Of course, knew they would be in the ma
1ority in the present Congress-tol let the present
law stand While the subject was under con-
sideration very wide differences OF opinion as
to what ought TO be done were developed even
between members of the same political party
Some OF the best lawyers In Congress held that
the whole electoral system needed revising and
reorganization, and that could only be done by
constitutional amendment. This view seems
to have obtained quite generally among the
democrats. The theory that the popular vote
should govern presidential election has been
gaining strength, and the indications are that
at the next session OF Congress-after the next
presidential election shall have been held
Congress will provide for the submission to the
STATES of a constitutional amendment giving
force and effect. in some manner, to the popular
vote 1t is very apparent that there Is no in
tention on the part OF Congress to legislate in
this direction at the present session. The COM
mittees having charge of the subject are doing
nothing with it. Democrats say that the present
law invests the majority in Congress with all the
authority over the count they care to have
and that they are content to let things remain
as they are They say further that they were
entirely willing in the last Congress, to pass an
electoral count law, but the then republican
Senate would accept nothing that did not cur
tail the power Of the majority. The Senate
noe HTorn do hill
House, the democrats alleging that it was
framed with the view of depriving the incoming
democratic majority of some of the power con-
1erred by the existing laws. There are demo-
Gratis In Congress who believe that law regu-
Eting the count should be enacted before the
approaching election in order that there may
not be room for dispute, but they are not num-
erous enough to accomplish anything in that
direction. Others who incline to feel that way
say that any law enacted now, in the face Of an
election, by democratic Congress, would be
regarded by the opposition as partisan scheme
and that, consequently, the best plan is to let
The present law stand
