We took a look at Mr.. Scott's Short-horns
on Monday, and after strolling around in
the pens and stables for half hour came
to the conclusion that there was nothing in
the animal world more pleasing to look up
on than thoroughbred cattle-cows, calves
and bulls. Mr.. Scott certainly has very
fine herd which he will sell next Saturday.
Numbers OF our citizens have visited the
corral just to see this herd, and they were
well paid. Mr.. Scott is very pleasant gen.
tleman and thoroughly converscnt with his
business. lie takes pleasure In showing
his stock, and has the pedigree Of the diff

all about them. They are At Packers sta

James Marvin, DID,, ex-chancellor OF the
State University, preached morning and
evening in the Methodist Church last Sab
bath. The morning sermon, the one we
heard, was simply grand in its simplicity.
His text was, ''work out your own saliva
tion," ETC., but the subject was more accu-
rately "science and God" Some mind, es-
pecally adapted to the work, discovers one
of the great laws of nature, some subtitle
principle, like electricity as applied TO the
telephone, and the name and life Of the dis
coyerer is cnshrincd in history, but reach
ing back of these unerring, though long I'M
known laws. comes the question OF not
only who made the mind of such wonderful
grasp, but who made the law which discov.
cred il. So back Of all the sciences and all
their harmonies and unfailng laws was and
is God. the all,knowing, munfcent, the
loving and merciful Father of all, the all in
all. No one could have failed, it seems to
us, to grasp the simple logic and the touch.

INDUSTRIAL DRAWING.
MANHATIAN. October d. is

MANHATTAN, October %, 1883.
Superintendent Z. i. Hatlock, Wichita.
DEAR SIR Yours of the odd inst, re-
questing my endorsement Of the value OF
industrial drawing in our public schools, -
is before me.
| have no doubt that, with competent
teachers, pupils in general gain as much of
practical discipline and judgment through
the clements Of drawing as in any other way.
Nothing is better for training to obscrva.
ton, or TO clear and distinct ideas of objects,
or to complete presentation of facts. Moth
ing is more helpful in further study of sci
ences, and all higher study OF natural his
tory is dependent uopn this practical help
to correct and complete seeing.
The applications of drawing in the in
dustrial arts are almost innumerable. No
mechanic can do his best without skill to
put his ideas into form with pencil.
could multiply instances when hours, if not
days, have been saved by few carefully.
drawn lines. Many speculator upon per-
petual motion might have saved his waste
of energy by an exact picture OF his loose
ideas.
Drawing is one of the best helps TO clear
understanding of elementary principles in
mathematics, especially of geometrical rela-
tons that everybody uses. Only the few,
probably, will take the trouble to master
geometry: but the construction Of lines and
forms provided in any proper system Of
drawing gives general insight, such as ev-
erybody needs, into lines, angles, circles,
etc.
Finally, the inventive skill OF the Nation
is more likely TO be well used and rightly
directed when a steady hand can picture the
parts of a machine as the mind conceives it;
and the tastes which makes chief part of
successful industry depends chiefly upon
this art.
The usual objection, that not all pupils
can become skillful, does not hold true in
this direction more than in any other. Not
all students can become artists, but all may
get the benefit of some training just as on
ly a few can become entertaining readers,
but all can learn to read well. Among a
thousand students in drawing at the State
Agricultural College there Is no greater
difference than in any other studies of our
course.
have been too explicit, perhaps, for your
but the case is worth arguing. OF
course these benefits depend upon the cir
cumstances OF introduction largely. and I
have no means OF judging AS to your imme.
date surrounding aud opportunities. Yours

no proof of the New Yorkers' want Of

lives, which leaves tio time for that in

the finer culture can come. Nor is the
street population an attractive one.
