MECHANICAL EDUCATION.

Governor Perkins, of California,
in his recent message expresses him
self strongly upon the educational
problem, and the inefficienoy of the
public school system Of the State,
which is now allowing $4,000 chill.
dren of school age to grow up in ig.
norance, that number being reported
as "not attending any school" dur
ing the past year. In speaking on
this subject the Governor uses words
which should be studied by those
having charge Of our public schools.
He says: "The greater number in
any community must earn their bread
by manual labor. In the number Of
absentees from the common schools,
the ordinary number of the unem-
'ployed, and the prevalence of vicious
and idle youth in all of the principal
communities of the State, we see
,conspicuously presented the neces.
sity for an education different from
what is now taught in our schools,
in the direction Of trade or mechan.
ical instruction-schools where some
of the useful arts should be impart-
ed to q sufficient extent or degree OF
thoroughness, so that, in addition to
the common elementary branches of
an English education, the pupil can
obtain reasonable knowledge of
some of the ordinary trades, by
which be may be the better able to
obtain livelihood, and have, by so
much, better start in the race of
life" Of the necessity for trade
schools, there can be no doubt, and
there is no question of their moral
and educational value.

umbia and Puget Sound Railroad
Company need moIe coal than the
Seattle mines can produce, and are
perfecting arrangements to open an
other mine to make up the defcien.
oy. Next fall and winner they will
require from 1900 to 1000 tons of

mine produces 1000 to 1900 tons per
day it is doing its best and therefore
another mine must be opened at

A BILL has been introduced in the

THE Italian expedition, under the

commander Negri, will start upon
their voyage to 6nd the south pole,
about the 6rst of March. This will

mand OF Sir Allen Young.
The Tacoma Ledger" says: All
of the Goa! cars belonging to this di'
vision, 100 in number, are loaded
with coal from the Wingate vein of
the Carbon Hill coal mines. Sew.
enty,two of the loaded hoppers are
waiting for ship. The 500 tons
used by the %. R. & N. Company
on'their ocean steamers proved to
be thoroughly satisfactory, and a
favorable report has been made.
There is now further demand in
Portland for this cosl, owing to mis-
carriage of cargo which had been
ordered from Australia for the o. r.

The vessel bringing the coal is re-
ported to have been lost on the
northern coast. On Tuesday last
she steamer State Of. California took

The Religious Opinions OF George
Eliot

George Eliot may have disappr0ved OF much
which the Church Of England allows or enJons.
But she never publicly identified herself with
the enemies Of the church. She never wrote d
word which detracts from the dignity OF its
sincerity OF its devoted ministers. Thes are the
qualities that distinguished the teaching or
George Eliot from that OF so many OF the icOnO-
often associated. She was acquainted with the
tenets OF the philosophy OF pOsitivism and the
religion of humanity, as are many persons who
neither hold the one nor believe In the other.
