MORALITY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

MORALITY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
One of the charges brought against
our public schools by some good people
is, that moral instruction is toe much
withheld, especially since the ban has
been put on the Bible in school.
Whether the exclusion of the Bible
from the schools was a wise measure
may be discussed at another time; but
that teachers should make it a point
to inculcate sound morality is certain
ly a duty of the first Importance. No
amount of school-book learning alone
can tit any one for the true exercise of
citizenship; government which does
not rest on basis of sound morality
must necessarily be unstable and inse-
cure. This has been the expressed
sentiment of our wisest and best men
since the organization of this Republic.
Teachers are not expected to instruct
in what are understood to be the evan
gelical doctrines of religion; but the
teacher, male or female, who does not
aim to elevate children and youth NOR
ally is unfit for the vocation of school
instructor. The charge which has
been freely made, that our public
schools are Goddess schools" is not
true generally, but it may be in some
instances. 1t is said the Teachers
Institute for Kenosha county, now in
session at Wilmot, will probably con-
slider the subject of moral instruction
in the public schools. It is a legiti-
mate matter for action, as any other
pertaining to the general welfare of
the pupils committed to their care
Just now there is a grand opportunity
for the incubation of moral virtues
by the lessons drawn from the life of
Gen. Grant. This opportunity should
not be lost while the story of his
eventful history remains fresh in the
minds of the people of this great na-
ton. There need be no trespassing on
the political or religious opinions of
any class of people; all parties and all
sects are alike agreed in doing him
justice and praising his manly virtues.

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, after
an absence Of some time in Europe, has
returned. He says the depression of
trade is due to over-production, and
that the government will be forced to
adopt the protective policy. There
will be more protectionists in the
United States hereafter than III years
before.

The city clerk of Racine has issued
a call for special election to be held
in September next, to vote ON the
question of raising the license from
5000 to $3.50 or to $500. The clerk of

call when applied to by twelve voters.
Higher license will help replenish

TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

The constant reader of the TELE-
GRAPH may have observed that FREE
quent mention has been made of the
reasons assigned for it's encourage
ment. The subject will be kept before
the people, in the hope that more decid-
ed action will be taken to advance this
branch of learning than has yet been
manifest. There must be a way found
to lead the country out of the difficult
ties and embarrassments with which it
is envlroned. If it be asked how is a
more extended knowledge of technical
education to relieve the depressed con-
dition of the laboriug classes, it may be
answered, in general way, that a good
knowledge of handicraft will be more
likely to keep man out of pecuniary
troubles than ignorance, This is found
to be verified In countries where
schools for education in the trades
have been established. England is in
advance of this country in providing
schools for technical education. It is
noticed in the public journals that a
building has recently been construct
ed fin Bristol, England, costing $780,
600, to be used as school for science.
technicality and commerce. This
movement to advance technical edu-
cation, it is stated, has given decided
impulse to advance the cause of indus
trial education in the other schools of
similar purpose in that country.
The earnestnesS with which the lead
ing men of England have entered up
on this new field of misunderstanding,
is already being made manifest, and
gives promise of good results. To talk
of the science of labor sounds strange
to many people, and seems like an un-
meaning use Of words, but when
schools shall be established for labor
instruction a new phase will be given
it, and educated laborers will take
rank with those now regarded as
superior classes.
There will be no classes of people
more sure of better wages than the
educated laborers. The people COM
posing this class can never be dispensed
with, and must always of necessity
be in demand. Human ingenuity may
be taxed to its utmost limit, but can
never by the invention of machinery
supersede the use of hand labor.
Machinery has done wond ers in abridg-
ing the labor of man; it has relieved
him OF an immense amount of hard
and unpleasant drudgery, and will con-
tinue to do much more, but there must
come a limit Machinery will never
possess the power to create itself. or
run itself without an overseer, or to
repair itself when broken. It is only
OF late years the matter of industrial
education has received public atten-
ton to any extent. especially for the
benefit OF the youth of the country.
When first spoken of, schools for this
purpose were treated with ridicule, and
declared 3 useless waste of time and
money. During the past two or three
years the subject of Industrial educa-
ton has undergone great change and |
the interest has taken strong hold on
The best minds Of the country. Those
who now treat technical education
lightly will at no distant day confess
heir mistake.

MOVING FOR HIGH LICENSE.

No action has yet been taken in this
city or any towns IN the county for a
higher license than the lowest rate now
fixed by the last law of the legislature
The question before the people Of
this city is plain one: Do the tax
payers desire some relief from high
taxes? Do they believe that those
who are extracting thousands of dol

working men, and without returning
them any equivalent, should be requir-

puts the matter as follows:
High license means enlarged reve-
nues for the city, and reduction in
other forms of taxation; it means few
er saloons and better regulation of
those we have; it means the closing
up of the low groggeries in the poorer
residence quarters, where they work
great harm. Let us by all means have
a special election ordered, to settle this
question; All honest expression of
public sentiment will result in at least
a $3.50 license"

BURTON, GARDNER & Co.. announce
conspicuously in THE SUNDAY HERALD
this morning the merits of the machine
for which they have secured the
agency, the Household. All who call at
the Furniture Headquarters" will find
the machines in full operation under
the nimble fingers of Mrs. r. V. Morris,
who is accomplishing deeds in the
seamstress line little short of the mar
velous. Her exhibition of fine needle
work on the Household is as elegant as
anything we have seen on display from

and to those fitting up houses they offer
the best of inducements in the way of
bargains.

him, keeping ahead until the race was
suddenly terminated on the sixth lap
by Wood being thrown by rough

game was well contested throughout,

Reds are credited with twelve and the
Bankers with but three errors, which
speaks well for the new aspirants for
