The School Litigation at Shelbyvllle.

The School Litigation at Shelbyvllle.
TO the Editor of the 1ndianap polls journal:
We, the undersigned, trustees of the public
schools of this city, consider it duty which we
owe to the public in general and to the friends
of education in particular, to make some state
ment of facts respecting the extraordinary liti-
cation recently instituted against the superin-
tendent of these schools In justice to ourselves
and the schools here we would have preferred to
make this statement several months ago; but in
accordance with the wishes of counsel for the
defendant, the matter has been postponed until
after the hearing Of the cause in the Circuit
Court.
1t is not too much to say that the recent pro-
ceedings of Mr. L. II. Kitchener against the
schools and school authorities of this city are
regarded by very large majority of our ci;i-
zens as a clear case of persecution, and is de-
nounced by many good people as positive out
rage. The jury in the cause, after DELHI
Grating twenty and half hours, and after
standing seven to five in favor Of the de-
PENDANT, brought in compromise verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, assessing damages at 81.
That the verdict is in accordance with the evi-
dence is not believed by any considerable num-
and surroundings of the case
The absurd reports that have been propagated
by irresponsible persons, and that have gained
currency throughout the State, constitute
tissue of Misrepresentation and falsehood, that
is fiagrantly unjust TO the school management,
and which justice demands should be corrected
By these false reports the public have been led
to believe that "a little CIR was shut out in the
cold when the mercury was 18o below zero, and
forced to go back home because she was tardv."
Without knowing any Of the facts in the case it
would be safe 10 conclude that no sane person
would do anything inhumany cruel; much
less would such thing be done by man of
sufficient intellect and character to be intrusted
with the superintenGeucy of the Shebyville
schooisi Nothing of the kind has ever occurred
in these schools

Nora Kitchener came to building No. about

Drilling and Boring Wood.

The hand-drill or breast-drill, origi-
nally intended for the hand-drilling of
metals, has taken its place among
woodworking tools. In many instan-
ces it has displaced the bit-brace, or at
least. has filed a requirement left I'M
satisfactorily supplied by the bit-brace.
The breast-drill may be used for drill,
gimlet or bit, and its speed-on the
best forms-may be changed at will
without a change of speed of the hand.
1t has its advantage also, in the more
natural motion of the hand-the verti-
cal crank movement instead Of the
horizontal crank motion. A drilled
hole in wood, for whatever purpose, is
better than q bored hole The drill
cuts a clean hole; not merely finding
its way between the ibres by displace-
ing them, but removing the material
entire as it advances. The gimlet form
| of wood borer is crude at best; thread
at the end is supposed to enter the
solid wood and by spiral friction pull
the cutting portion of it. The cutting
portion is twist like twist drill OF
auger, supposed to deliver the chips
which it never does deliver. The press
ure of the hand is necessary to force the
gimlet into the wood. and the pull o.
the hand is required to release it and
empty the chips. The drill cuts clear
hole, and has none of the objections o.
/ the gimlet. Unlike the gimlet, 1t MAY
be resharpened so long as it lasts. 1t
speed in the breast drill is very mucf
| greater than that of the gimlet in the
| bit-brace.

The Cause.

If we ask why the Chinese have re-
manned in a strange and immoVable
condition for so many centuries, the
answer is clear, though it may at first
seem a little inadequate. The Chinese
have no imagination. People without
Imagination never change their habits.
The Chinese are clever, cultivated,
skillful craftsmen, admirable imitatOFS,
but they have no imagination, and that
explains everything. They are perfect
ly satisfied with the dull routine OF .
monotonous, laborious life, so long as
they have enough to eat and buy
opium, and to gamble away a few cash
now and then with the dice or domi-
noes, or over the glorious combat Of
two valiant crickets. They are .
practical folk. and SO long as things
are pretty comfortable, they do not see
the use of vain aspirations. They are
content with domestic system which
an imaginative and romantic mind
could not endure. They are happy in
a total absence of religion, because
they do not perceive that religion
brings cash, and they feel no inward
promptings toward the spiritual life.
They have a scheme of morality which,
if carried out, must unquestionably de-
SSIFo q very AISu pioC0 dLAOnB tAO GS-
tempts to govern the animal whom
Swift acutely describes as not
rationale but rationis cGpG1, by the
pure principles ofreason. Here again
the Imagination is wanting; the highest
kind Of intellect. which eon1otes
a quick and vivid imagination.
demands something more than .
moral system as the ground Of conduct.
Let it be theology, divine life or an
enthusiasm for the great human family,
there must be a sentiment for the
imagination to clothe with a compel
ling beauty and strength. The only
sentiment the Chinese possess, the
only trace of the power of Imagination,
is IN their reverence for their ancestors,
and their feeling that whatsoever q
man does brings renown or shame
upon his forefathers. This is 8 more
powerful and ennobling sentiment than
is generally perceived-it is the pivot Of
Chinese life; but it is too large and COM
pick subject to be now discussed at
length. Apart from this one redeem
ing attribute, the worship of the great
Head, the Chinese mind is singularly
pale and colorless, strikingiy devoid Of
the vivifying qualities of western intel
lect, empty of romance, enthusiasm
in a word, without imagination.-EdS
