Joseph Cock on High SchOOIS.

My opinion is that primary education
merely Is not enough to prepare citizens
for the duties of their career in the
United States. President Eliot said in
New York, not long ago. that merely
primary education never has saved a
people from the political dangers of uni
versal suffrage, and probably never will.
When George Combe was in Boston. he
said that the education of its schools
given TO the average citizens was only
about enough to prepare them for the
amount of political power the masses Of
the people have in Prussia and Austria.
We must in some way give large num-
bes of the population an education such
that they can inteliigently direct their
own training. hold that man who
has not been through more than the
primary school does not know how TO
select his own reading probably. Seven
times out OF ten ne may mistake bad
reading for good, and may easily be mis-
led 10y plausible demagogues not only
in politics but religion. He may he mis-
led in science itself if he has not edu-
cation enough TO enable him to silt
books and turn ia the best leadership
with the confidence that he has chosen
right
The rich do not depend on the high
schools. They can take advantage of
our best-endoWed academies; they can
pay for the very best instruction in pri.
waite schools. But our grea middle class
are nodded hy the high school system
into sympathy with the best thought of
the age, and the best public leaders If
YOU break the link of good secondary
education, there will be no connection
between your best thought and tho
masses of the people II will be ex-
ceedmgly hard to make your best think
ers Svmpthlzc with the people, and yet
more hard to make the people sympa-
thi2e with your best thinkers. 1t is the
glory Of the American civilization that
her secondary education brings into
sympathy with each other the masses
and the best trained minds, and when
the sympathy ceases you viii have
opened dyke, and through the gap God
only knows what surgcs of salt and Bit
ternesS may burst across the land. ! re-
gard the high school, next TO the church,
rs the chief barrier against communists
tic and soCialistic inroads from the
bowling sea OF an ignorant and unprin-
Ciplcd population, Give me the high
school under generally Christian intlu-
ences give me good secondary educa-
/ ton in the United States; give me de-
] velopod thoughtmlness in the masses,
| and have little fears from the inroads

( under merely parochial schools, nobody
can reach the masses of the population

part of the mass that lies nearest to him.

BELLIGRRENT NUNs.-An unexpected
difficulty was encountered the other day
by the Sanitary Commissioners IN the
government Of Poltavs, Russia. The
com missioners, having been on tour OF
inspection IN this dis riot, ordered certain
measures to be carried out for dlsinfect
ing various buildings which they found
to be in an unhealthy condition. Among
these was = nunuery at VelikObudltche;
but the nuns strongly objected 70 the pro-
posed arrangement and stirred up the
peasant against the commissioners, de-
claring that they came direct from the
devil The Governor Of the district then
sent police officer with thirteen police,
men to stop the agitation The officer,
after posting his men round the nuunery,
went into the chapel, whore mass was be
ing celebrated When mass was over he
went out with the people, and gave them
lee ure on the advantages OF dlslni,c
ton, adding thst he would prove the
truth OF his arguments by at once disln
iecting the nuns cells in their presence.
This produced cry Of Indignation
amonc the nuns; the alarm bell was rung,
the gates were barred, and when the po-
lice sttem pied TO force an entranc@,the
nuns, who were assisted by number OF
peasant women armed with broOms, hay

The Boston Girl,

A lady who is now visiting this city,
and whose eyes and ears are always open
to new and strange sights and sounds,
thus records the impressions made upon
her by the typical young woman OF Bos.

The Boston girl leads complicated

woman of designs but she puts them all

lovely, iridesceut pitcher. and wondering
If any potter would throw her that par

The Boston girl carves stately mantels
and alluring cabinets; she models of

1ncongruous as it may seem, she is also
an energetic diffuser OF useful knowledge,
a humble follower of Eastlake, a fervent
disciple of Herbert Spencer, and an clio
quent advocate for woman's suffrage.
With an air OF resignation she informs
you that it ia not that she particularly
cares to vote, but has solemn conviction
that Ii is her duty. This fair Melusina
never misses lecture upon art She
revels in ancient autotypes and etchings ;
she talks learnedly to you OF Michael

the latest innovation of this far saint il
that she turns her boudoir into an oratory
and before an elegantly carved prieu dieu
she knees gracefully and presents her
petitions in the most fauliless OF modern
classics. For being of refined taste and
elegant culture is she-the fair Boston
girl.

The same rule applies in the manage

should come from behind and slightly
