Education of the Future. The Independent.1

Americans have now pretty generally gotten over the idea that their public school system is SO nearly perfect that it cannot well be improved. Nor is the belief now so frequently expressed that education by itself necessarily makes people wise and good. We are sensibly getting over our "spread-eagleism in this as in so many other matters.
 There are two directions in which a reform in the system of education seems now to be both probable and possible. These are the recognition of industrial or manual education and physical culture, in some form or other, as necessary ele- ments of complete system of education.
 It is well-known fact that large num- Der of the pupils in our public schools are obliged to go and fight the battle of life for themselves at an early age; and in school they learn little that is of any practical use to them, and, with ali their nice catalogues of facts, they are fre- quently less capable of making an honest living than their former classmates, who long ago left school to become grimy ap- prentices or burly butcher boys.
 The industrial supremacy of this coun- try in the markets of the world depends upon the skill of our handicraftsmen in the industrial arts; and this skill would be largely fostered and developed by the establishment of a few great industrial schools in the large manufacturing cities Such school is seriously talked of in Philadelphia and there is no reason why New York should not also have a g.eat institution, where the elements of all the mechanical arts could be learned. Eng land is fully alive to the importance of this matter and the industrial education which she now gives to the children of paupers and criminals serves the double purpose of training these children to be good citizens and of adding valuable re- cruits to her great industrial army. The day is coming when there will be life and death struggle between Great Britain and the United States for the industrial supremacy ot the world, and, if we are wise, we will prepare ourselves for the great conflict.
 Besides all this, an industrial training will do what merely theoretical training will not do. It will act as a preventive of crime. Of the 1914 prisoners in the eastern penitentiary of Pennsylvania, only seven are mechanics, and the Eng fish home secretary states that eighty per cent. of the vicious boys who have passed through Industrial schools and have learned some honest trade have been entirely reformed. As matter of pure economy, therefore, not to speak of philanthropy, it would be a wise thing to build more industrial training schools and save some of the money now spent on prisons and reformatories.

Holy Tattooing.
American Antiquarian.l


 The custom of tattooing the body for merly existed in all parts of Polynesia, but is now generally abandoned, except among the ruder islanders. The process was substantially as follows: The artist first drew the desired pattern upon the body of his subject then taking a fine toothed comb, made of shell or bone, he dipped it into a liquid composed of the pulveri1ed coal of the candle-nut and oil, and placing it on the spot caused it to puncture the skin by blow with mallet. Soon bluish color appeared under the skin, which did not fade for many years. The first marks were made about the time of puberty, but so painful, and even dangerous, was the process that it was not finished at once, but the pattern was elaborated year by year up to advapced age. The designs were mostly arrange ments of curved lines, showing great ar tistic skill and appearing to the eye like drapery of fine lace work. Often figures of men, birds, dogs, fishes or other ob- Jects were pictured. The extent of the person covered by tattoo varied on differ ent groups, bat the thighs were invariably marked. High chiefs were exempt from the custom, as were the lowest class of freemen. slaves, and to a great extent women. Various theories have been proposed to account for the practice, but the only satisfactory one finds its ground in religion. The figures of living objects. so common are the totems of the indi- vidual or tribe in which guardian spirits are believed to reside. The operator is always priest, and the patient is tabu "holy" during the process. The primi- tive idea seems to have been that by drawing the visible emblem of a deity upon the person his favor was thereby secured. Later, this conception faded out, and the custom came to be simply a mode of ornamentation or mark of social distinction. The chiefs were not tattooed because, themselves partaking of the divine nature, they did not require it, and the rest were exempt because they did not deserve it.

Must Have a Name.
[All the Year Round.l

The golden age of periodical literature was -and-twenty years ago, or there abouts. Then editors were keenly on the lookout for new talent. Now the supply is greater than the demand; the crowd of writers is largely augmented by many who do not depend on their pen for a living. These can work with more ease, and have more leisure for study. Editors ard so worried by mass ot correspond ence that few of them care to sift the mat ter offered to them, mostly preferring to lean on known names. Then the com petition in periodicals is so great that one only gets half guinea for matter which, twelve years ago, was worth guinea. The struggling author now may send out twenty manuscripts, and fifteen will miss fire altogether, and of the five accepted perhaps three will not be paid for. Half of the rest will not be returned to him, but go into the waste-paper basket. The struggling author works hard, and most of his work goes for nothing. He lives on hope, and the postman's knock at his door more often brings pang than joy to his heart. Let him be ever so clever, if he have no name, or no regular engage ment on a journal, he cannot make liv- ing by mere fugitive writing. If he is at all good writer he is unfit for any other work from the years of study he has had to perfect himself in an art that brings him no return he has been unable to gain knowledge of any other trade or profession. Even if capable of quickly mastering the details of business, ro one will engage him, because he has no ex- perience. If his pen fail him, what can he do2 Only some luminous idea or lucky chance can save him from starva- tion. If he can write stories badly enough for some of the penny journals he will get perhaps 8I. for one which takes him a month to write. For a three-volume novel, which no man can invent and write in less than six months, he will get 3ol perhaps. And as for dramatic au- thorship-no one will read the play when it is written, much less produce it. If he writes five-act melodrama, and likes to hang about after managers of outlying theatres, he may get an offer of SL for the entire right of tue work, and then be asked to pay the cost of the ill-important "posters." These are facts. There is no harder career than letters. Even men who have had money have taken years to establish their reputation. Disap- pointment despair and starvation are all that await the poor author. He is one of the most pitiable figures in the pathetic group of unseen poor. His higher talent and greater sensitiveness make him suf- fer the more keenly. Let no man, how ever talented, think to earn living by writing alone. If he must earn living by letters, let him rather be postman.

Won't Be Robbed.

Will M. Clemens. in Literary Life.
 Mark Twain has often said that if he were to live his life over again he would publish his own books, and act as his own business manager, and thus secure a the sale of his works. His latest book, Huckleberry Flnn," was completed last March, but owing to complications and differences with his publishers, it has not yet appeared, although it has been ex- tensively announced-a prospectus of the story sent out and the opening chapters recently published in the Century. When tue book was finished last month, Mark Twain made proposition in regard to its publication to the American Publish ing company, which published his In- nocents Abroad" and his later works. From them the company, which hereto fore had been but small concern. achieved reputation and standing equal to any ot the older establi he'd publishing houses of the country. Mark Twain, on his side, obtained royalties amounting in all to over four hundred thousand dol lars. When Huckleberry Finn" the sequel to "Tom Sawyer" was completed, wan dSdtn mduc PIOpoSltlon 10 nlS publishers to produce this new work. Negotiations were commenced, but never completed. The parties could not agree on terms. Evidently Mark Twain con- sidered that he had built up the Ameri- can Publishing company, while they seemed to think themselves the founders of his fame and fortune. Liberal royal ties were offered Twain by the publishing company, but he refused to accept them. The final offer was that the profits should be divided, each of the parties to receive fifty per cent. of the proceeds from the sale cf the re~ work This proposition was not satisfactory to the author, who wanted sixty per cent. of the profit. This offer the company refused to accept, and he determined on entering a new busi- ness-combining that of the publisher with that of author. Mark Twain had a nephew residing in New York in whose business ability he had great confidence. He entered into partnership with his nephew to produce his new work and to supervise all the mechanical details of its production, and now, while not being exactly his own publisher, Mark has taken step nearer to it than ever before The financial results of the enterprise are awaited with interest.
