NOT so FLAT, AFTER ALL,

C. F. Flatt, of the California State Normal
School, signs himself 'Mr." instead of 'pro-
~fessor," which, from the point of view of
many pedagogues, must be an indication of
mental decadence. He is evidently an educa-
tional crank, and is turning the public school
organ backward. He is forninst the broad
gauge system-shallow, but wide-on which
the public graded schools are run, and con-
tends that the education of a lad is not com
plete until he has learned some trade or bust
ness. He says the reason we nave so large a
clerkship and neutrality-suspicious.
class is not due to what the schools have
taught their graduates, but rather to what
they have not taught, taken with the failure
of the parents to put them to some definite
trade or business requiring manual effort as
soon as they are through with the schools.
Mr.. Flatt is level here. The fault is not with
the schools alone, but with the parents who
have false views as to the dignity of manual
labor.

why this camp-meeting association persist
emily participates in a violation of the statute
law of the State, and in defiance of the law Of
the church underwhose auspices it is conducted.
The satisfaction of the Advocate over the
proposition to only run the trains before 10
o'clock "A. M. and after 4 o'clock P. NJ. reminds
one of the plea of the young woman who had
been detected in a fault-"it was such a
little one" If it be right to run ex-
curslon trains to camp meeting on Sunday
at all, it is right to run them as much
after 10 and before 4 o'clock as before 10
and after 4 o'clock. If it is wrong at
all, it is wrong at every hour of the day.
The Southeastern Conference, within whose
boundaries this Acton camp meeting
is held, has declared that camp
meetings should be held, if at all, with closed
gates on Sunday; that if they are not so held,
and excursion trains are run on Sunday, Meth
odist preachers and Methodist people should
withhold their presence and influence from
such meetings. Now this means something.
1t does not mean that it will be all right if
trains are only run before 10 and after 4
o'clock on Sundays. The question for the
Methodist preachers and people, and for the
Western Christian Advocate as well, is wheth-
er they intend to abide by the action of the
representative body of the church, or whether
they will continue to participate in the desc
Grafton of Sunday for the money there is in
it. 1t is a strange spectacle that secular
newspapers and mont Christian people, who
believe in retaining to the largest degree the
restful character of Sunday as a po-
lice and sanitary measure solely, be-
ieving it to be for the best interests
of the individual and society, are
compelled to plead with alleged Christian as
sociations that they shall not set the demoraliz-
ing example of turning Sunday into a day of
excursion-train running, of buying and sell
ing, of the assembly of great, noisy and pro-
miscuous crowds, thus making it a day of
feverish unrest instead of one of quiet and
good order.

SUNDAY TRAINS AT ACTON.

at has been currently reported that the rail-
road company proposed to the Acton Camp
meeting Association to run no Sunday trains
to the grounds, provided the association so
desired; and that the association took action
upon the subject, and asked for the running
of the trains.
eve are glad to learn from the recent official
report of the trustees that the rumor is moor
rect so far as it asserts that the association re-
fused to accept such an offer from the rail
road company; and, in so far as the criticism
to which the association has been subjected
has been based upon the supposed proposal
of the railroad company, it is APP
parently without justification. We are also
glad to learn that the gates of the Acton
grounds are to be closed at 10 A. NJ. on Sun
day, and are to be kept closed until 4 P. NJ,
and that the running of Sunday trains is to
be very much curtailed as compared with
some former years. This is a move in the
right direction, and we shall be very happy to
record the fact that the Sunday trains are to
be stopped altogether. The running of such
trains, with the consent of the managers of
camp-meetings, is unquestionably a reproach
to us in many minds"
The above, from the Western Christian Adj
vocate of this week, is a surprise and disap-
pointment. Had the editor of the Advocate
desired to put himself in possession of the
facts he could readily have learned that the
railroad corporation, through one of its officers,
did make the proposition to one of the trustees
of the Acton Camp-meeting Association, DR..
Levi Ritter, to stop the running of excursion
trains on Sunday if the association so desired.
This proposition was reported to the meeting
of the tent-holders by DR.. Ritter. 1t was the
basis of the resolution offered by DR.. Gillett.
Forty-one tent-holders voted for the resolu-
ton, so understanding the question,
and ffty-three voted against it, not
because they did not understand the question
as the forty-one did, but because they did so
understand it, and because they wanted the
excursion trains run on Sunday, and because,
further, they wanted the association to par
~ticipate in the profits of such trains, the ar
gument being openly made that without such
participation the expenses of the camp meet
ing could not be met. The editor Of the Ad-
vocate, by virtue of his long residence in In
dianapolis, is perfectly conversant with the
facts, and he knows that this has been the
stock argument for years, as it is to-day,
