SEVERAL Of our exchanges are advocating
q modification Of the public school system
Of the country by which the schools will be
rendered technical, The suggestion now
going the rounds came originally, We be-
lieve, from n New England oduca-
tional journal, but 1t has been
quite generally taken up by other
papers, and recently city contemporary
locallzcdthc idea, going somewhat into par
ticulas. Tho idea is false one. The
principal difficulty Of tho public schools
now Is exactly that they are too technical.
Their technically lies, however, in the
direction Of professional callings. The
schools should not be for the education Of
lawyers or physicians or merchants or
blacksmithS, but Of the people, and their
scope should embrace only what properly
pertains TO a rudimentary education
intended to be supplemented by
special study or training for each particu.
lar calling. Much that Is taught in our
grammar schools Is worthless to large
portion Of tho pupils in after life. Their
teachings cannot be too practical, but they
should not be in any degree technical, for
technical teaching in any art or calling
would DO SO mitch waste Of time, except to
the few who might atterwatd follow that
calling, and must at any rate be so super.
fetal as to be Of no benefit even to this
few. Nothing should be taught that is not
Of use TO all classes Of population. Even
this limitation would leave mitch vaster
scope Of Learning than could be acquired
in the time usually spent in the common
schools. The boy OF girl who has learned
to read intelligontly, to spell correctly, 10
write neatly and legibly, to make ordinary
calculations in numbers rapidly and relia-
bly,, to speak tho vernacular properly,
and to behave with decehcy and proptiety
on the street, in business and social circles
and at home, Is a rare product Of the pub.
lie schools Of our day; and yet the ACCOM-
pllshment Of these ends should be the
dearest ambition and the grandest triumph
Of our system OF public education.

must either belong to the British system or

Gospel temperance meetings in New

Hart also profeseed religion. studied

was installed as assistant pastor of the

Mr.. Thomas M. Michel, who had

ence during the late campaign, has
written q lengthy letter setting forth
the circumstances under which the
celebrated Fifth-avenue conference of
last year was called, its incidents and
results. 1t appears from Mr.. Nichols
story that Gen. Garfield attended this
conference at the earnest request of
Mr.. Conkling's friends, who doubted
the senator's loyalty and hoped that
the stimulus of some extraordinary
occasion might cause him to enter
actively into the campaign. Gen.
Garfield came, the senator avoided
meeting him, and only went into the
canvass after it had opened and was
being vigorously prosecuted.

The stalwarts have taken two posi-

business should be done until they had
chosen a scurrilous and uncrupulous
machinist As secretary and a Virginia
repudiator as sergeant-at-arms. From
that position they were driven with
great loss. Then they took up the
position that the courtesy of the sem
