Machines are being substituted for
labor, complex for simple machinery,
hence the laborer mist learn to be n
controller of machines, must gain direc-
tive powers by increased education,
The high school is the place for the
masses to gain this directive power.
The managers of the school system,
seeing that science means conquest ove
nature, insist on scientific information
studies more than disciplinary studies
in the common schpols.-Prof. ". T.

Miss Garrison, the st. Louis maiden,
whose mysterious disappearance and
equally mysterious return created SO
much excitement in that city, last week,
has been sent to an eastern asylum, as

She should have been sent previous to
the escapade. Even lunatic asylums

Parents, are you doing all you can
for the progress of your children in tier
school work? Do you frequently inquire
about their progress? Do you help and
encourage them Wien they have diff
culties? DO you see that those old
enough improve instead of waste their
evenings? Do you inculcate the value
of education? Do you try TO make
your own mistakes n youth a caution
to them9 Do you make every effort to
secure the pu~nctualand regular attend
ance of your children at school? Do
you support and follow all the school
regulations? Do you ever visit the
School? Do You ever encourage by kind
words or acts the teachers in their la
bors? Do you cooperate with them in
every possible wayP

Senate add Wednesday, after intro
duction of three bills. Resolution for
joint special committee, to investigate
cause of loss of life at Newhall House
fire, introduced in Assembly. Chief
Clerk of Assembly asked TO specify au-
thority under which he dealt out sta
tionery. Equivocal section in laws of
1882, by which members could draw
stationery on assent of Chief Clerk, the
authority relied on. Bill introduced to
divide Milwaukee into four districts, for
justices and constables. Gov. Rusk de-
cided not to issue special message, judg-
ing members of the legislature as con-
versant with the needs brought out by
the Newhall House fire as himself.
Members, disguised at stories of dissi-
patton. As a rule, are extremely moral.
Small saloon-keepers complain of too
heavy license, bill introduced to change
law as it was four years ago. Contested
election case of Spear VS.. Leonhardt,
from Door county, held over, as the
contestant was called home by the death
of his mother. j. c. Gregory appears

A cultivated mind has infinite stores
for innocent qualification. Everything
m y be made interesting to 1t, by be-
coming a subject of thought or inquiry
Books regarded merely as qualification
are worth more than all the luxuries on
earth, A tast for literature secures
cheerful occupation for the unemployed
and languid hours of life; and how
many persons, in these hours, for want
of innocent resources, are nov impelled
to coarse pleasure! How many young
men can be found, who, unaccustomed
to find a companion in a book, and
strangers to intellectual activity, are al
most driven, in the long, dull evenings
of winter, to haunts of intemperance
and bad society.-Er.
A ''fre drill" was practised at school
at different times last week. The de-
sign was to give the pupils exercise at
leaving the building quickly and order
ly in case of a possible fire. The re-
suit should be assuring to those parents
who have been uneasy about the school
building. The signal was purposely
given at an unexpected time, and yet
all the pupils with their books were out
of the house in less than two minutes,
without running or any particular dis
order. 1t is scarcely conceivable that
the building should SO catch fire during
school hours as not to allow the safe
exit of all within, Nor should this driIl
suggest the conclusion that the building
is in an unsafe condition, for since the
repairs we see no reason to believe it SO.
On the contrary, fire is at a consider
able distance from any combustible
material; but as with other buildings,
a fire might possibly occur from some
unforeseen cause, it is well to be pre-
pared for it.
