THE NEW PRESIDENT.

~ fr
Chester A. Arthur is the seventh
New York President and the
fourth that has attained the Presi-
dency. He was born in Franklin
county, Vermont, October 5. 1880,
His father vas a Baptist minister
from Ireland. President Arthur was
educated at Union College, Science
tady, and after graduating and stud.
ing law was admitted to its practice
in 1850. General Arthur first at
tracted attention as attorney in the
suit of Jonathan Lemons, of Vir-
ginia, to gain possession of eight
runaway slaves, to which position he
was appointed by the governor of
New York. He was a delegate to
the convention that laid the founda-
ton If the republican party at Sara
toga. At the breaking out of the
war he was judge advocate in the
State militia and was on his inaugu-
ration appointed by Gov. Morgan to
the position of engineer in chief on
his staff. Upon the expiration of
Gov. Morgan's term he resumed the
practice of law and served as coun-
sci to the tax commissioners of New
York city. Drifting thence into poll
tics he contributed greatly to repub-
lican Gee and was appointed by
Gen. Grant to succeed Mr.. Murphy
as collector of the port of New York
Nov. 20, 1871, to which on its ex-
piration he was renominated. He
was removed by Mr.. Hayes July IL,
1878, because in that gentleman's
language, "He had made the custom
house = centre of partisan political
management" Nominated at Chi
cago he was elected vice-president
along with the deceased president.
He is a tall, portly and genial gentle
man, not deficient in ability and
we'll versed in partisan politics but
Notwithstanding all this, his advent
to authority occasions great anxiety
even among the majority Of his party.
He has qualified and assumed the
Presidency but it is too soon to fore
cast what course he will pursue. He
will have the counsel of the most
prominent and trusted Of his party
and probably act conservatively.
The rich men at the east with Gould
and Vanderbilt have confidence in
his financial sagacity.

city, vino fortunately stands too high
and is too much respected by this
community to be injured thereby in
the least. That paper overlooks the
chief cause efthat discharge-the de-

however, the authority of the Court

1t is often asserted that liberal ed
ucation, such as is aimed to be i'm
parted to youth in our city schools,
need not necessarily render a boy less
capable of being a successful mechan-
ic than if he had renamed in igno-
rance, and yet it cannot be concealed
that some how or other educated
boys exhibit contempt for mechanical
pursuits and invincible antipathy to
the painstaking and drudgery of
learning a trade. But when the iu-
struction Of a boy in any industrial
pursuit is commenced at an early age
and continued during those years
that are usually devoted in our cities
to the acquisition of scholastic know!-
edge, there IS rarely experienced any
great difficulty in forming both the
taste and habits that are necessary to
its successful prosecution. OF course
there ought to be impaired at the same
time as is usually done, such simple
aud elementary instruction as will
redeem from ignorance and fit its
recipient for the intelligent discharge
of duty in whatever field success and
natural ability may open up to him.
Most parents not only accept what
has been said. but at this season Of
the year especially make considerable
inquiry into what can be done for
children; and yet, when they dis.
cover that what is desirable cannot
be readily and Immediately obtained,
submit to the apparently inevitable
and content themselves with what ia
provided for them by the State, no
matter how inadequate that provision
is, or how certain of involving them
in vexation and disappointment. APP
p~renticeships have been abandoned,
and the number of employments in
this country is so great that it is not
thought wise TO attempt to impart
knowledge of them in our public
schools, and yet it is important that
our city youth acquire habits of dilll-
gent application, and if our country
lads were taught the use Of saw and
plane, and the arts of hammering and
Welding iron, ~tempering steel and
shoeing animals, it would be a valua-
BILE acquisition.
There is no other way in the pres
ent condition of education of provid-
ing for the rising generation than by
starting and maintaining industrial
schools. Commerce and the profess
sions have their technical institutions,
and if industry had been wise long
ago she would have had hers also.
II manufacturing is to be developed
in our midst, such industrial training
must be provided as will lead to the
devotion to it of at least some Of the
intellectual power that is constantly
misdirected by improper conceptions
of manual labor imbibed by youth
before arriving ct maturity.
