rF- The bill providing for the study
of physiology and hygiene in the public
schools is grand thing. Tho capacity
of the youthful intellect is well known
TO be unlimited, and il ought TO be
filed up in some way. We are glad to
see our legislature gradually rising TO
the occasion, and may hope that some
time the list of common school studies
will be large enough to give common
school pupils something to do. Thor
oughness in few studies is, of course,
an absurd thing, and not to be COM
pared in desirability with mental dys-
pepsia, superinducod by attempting to
absorb the multitudinous hash which
some friends of lcarning-and enemies
nf loarnoro doom the proper currlcu-
lum of the common schools. And the
more delightfully."- complex you can
make this hash, the greater the number
and the more abstrusc the character of
its ingredients, by so much more cflcc-
tually will the great object be attained
OF making our schools temples of dis
couragomcnt, and life heavy burden
TO the pupils. The fact is, such studies
as physiology and hygiene as part of
the set studies of the schools are simply
absurdities. They arc the studies of a
lifetime, and the smattering that could
be conveyed in common school course
would be useless waste of valuable
time. Such subjects can be far moro
usefully conveyed in broad survey OF
the great general facts of organization,
nutrition, and tho requirements for pre-
serving bodily health, by means of q
few illustrated lectures, than by any
attempt at studying books on the sub
JOU.. .nU uilfcufhm is already Toe
great for adequate instruction in all liz
studies, and leaves the pupils too LITTLE
time for needed rest and recreation
Trying to crowd in more special studio,
will only result in adding to the super
ficiality which is the bane of oui
schools. Better give thorough instruc
ton in the fundamentals OF an Englisl
education, and for the rest leave thu
pupils to follow their various tastes il
their own way. A few favoritc studie
mastered are far better mental disci
pline, and far more useful practically
than surface knowledge of our entir
common school curriculum as now con
stituted.

singular effect is produced by thirt cen
clearly shavcn faces, the custom of their
times, while but four of the twcnty-one
wear the now popular moustachc. The
high merit of the picture is established
| in the beauty of its conception, which
has here caused TO be assembled, in fig

presidents, giving audience TO the great
nation over which they have been hon
orcd to preside. On the walls of the
saloon hangs Il wcll-cXecutcd picture of
the surrender of CORVALLIS, which in
itself accurately illustrates that great
historical event. From the window of
thc room onpcars n fine view of the

vAs usual when their party
achieves few successes tho Democrat
ic organs begin to talk abont tidal
waves waves, %5aAaff difcS%1eeid by a returning
wave which swamped the jubilant De-
mocracy that Republicans need feel
little apprehension for 1884. The
country, though ready to chasten the
Republican party temporarily, is not
ready to retire it from business. That
party still embodies the best thought
and best action of the nation, and il win
take long period of submission to
bossism, jayhubbellism and so-called
stalwartism to convince the people that
1t has ceased to be the party of pro-
gress and reform. The party has en-.
joyed long lease of power, and it is
natural that bad influences should be
at work in it, but that they can secure
permanent control is not possible.
The alliance of whisky aud Democra.
cy, together with Republican disgust at
the tendencies of the administrati on,
have proved too strong for us in Ohio
stalwartism and stalwart fraud in New
York, and bossism in Pennsylvania
will perhaps lose us those states this
fall, and the Indifference of the party
leaders to the general demand for re-
forms in the civil service may weaken
the party In many other states. The
final result will be to throw of the
abuses and TO rally all Republicans to
the party standard in the conflict of
1884. 1t all depends, however, upon
whether wise and righteous counsels
prevail. So long as the party remains
the party of moral progress il will DO
invincible. But If ii loses its self as
sertive power and degenerates into
mere tool in the hands of cunning and
selfish politicians its days of power
are numbered. There is no reason,
however, to believe that these misfor-
tunes will befall it. Its temporary de-
feats only result in curing its diseases
and giving 1t renewed strength. The
Democrats are counting their chickens
before they are Matched. The battle of |
1884 will show the Republican party
stronger than ever in the confidence of
the country. !

EThe Montpelier Argus wants TO
hear the Register howl, because "the
widow of old John Brown stopped at
the Stevens House, Vergcnncs, last
week." If the proprietor didn't try to
sell the old lady prohibited drink we
don't know what we have got to howl
about. The Argus man seems to labor
under the impression, perhaps natural
one in his case, that man cannot adj
vocate principle without being per-
sonal enemy to all who do not favor
that principle. We have repeatedly
said that we have no personal feeling
against Sam Gaines, and in his legiti-
mate business we have 10 i'll wishes for

tBrA correspondent of the New York
Sun, who processes 10 have been a
friend of Garfield, contributes a column
"study" of the life of the deceased
otutvsnau, NUN WHICH we learn that
Garfield never did anything in his
whole career, political or military, that
amounted to anything, that his name is
identified with no measure of impor-
lance, and that the secret of his rise
from poor boy to the presidency of
the United States was simply "good
luck" II was good luck which enabled
him during the painful period between
his assassination and his death TO secure
for his fortitudc and hcroism the adj
miration of the world. In short, the
lesson taught by this sensible view of
Garlicld's career is that honesty and
nobility of character, enormous industry
in cullivating and storing his mind,
honorable ambition 10 serve his country
were of little value in centering the
eyes of his countrymcn on Garfield
Luck did it all. Character had moth
Ing 20 do with ii. He was not advan-
ccd from post to post because hr Odd
position. Good luck was the lever that
raised him TO the position he held and
holds in the hearts of the American
people.
This is a precious and comforting
doctrine to instil into the minds of
youthful street loafers who bemoan
their inability TO rise in the world.
Let them look on Garfcld's career and
take courage. One man may be lucky
as well as another. Luck may induce
an intelligent constituency to elect TO
responsible position the corner loalcr
instead of the ntclligenl and useful
citizen, the ignoramus as we'll as the
scholar, the whisky and tobacco soaked
"boat" AS well as the industrious and
conscientious worker. A heavy debt
of gratitude is due this loving New
York Sun "friend of Garfield for The
profound analysis of his life which re-
voals the comforting secret of 'luck."
What an incentive i inc presidency
The young man is no longer to be
under the necessity of study and labor
TO lit himself for great work; he is no
longer obliged to submit to the irksomc
restraints of education in mind and
morals; no more need he depend upon
hard work, study, reflection, and thc
best use of the powers implanted in his
being; "luck" carried Garfield up by
successive steps to the presidency of the
United States, and it may raise any
ambitious young man to high position.
IL Is a pity that this "friend of Gar
held' did not save Darwin his long
years of study into the intricate princi-
pies of evolution which he summed mn
in the phrase, "the survival of the Gt
test" by just pointing out TO him that
there is no such thing as the survival
of the fittest, but that "good luck" de.
termines it all.
We notice with admiration that the
stalwart papers which have long known
that Garfield was 10 better than he
should be, quote with much approval
this very friendly estimate of him
from the New York Sun, which is
known to have loved him so well.
