INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.

The Forthcoming Report of the Bureau Of
Education--Univcrsal Teaching of Indus
trial Drawing to BE Warmly Recon-
mended.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November 22.-
The Bureau of Education is preparing q
report on art and industry in institu-
tons of training. 1t is replete with prac.
teal knowledge which will form Il basis
for those studies in public schools. The
work has been in preparation since 1874,
and although some parts of it have been
published the major portion of the con.
tents is new, and has been collected and
edited with considerable trouble and care
Much delay has been experienced in Sc.
curing its publication, owing to Insult.
cientcy of appropriations or its use in
other branches of the Interior Depart
ment, under which the Bureau Education
is placed. The fundamental idea of the
work is that universal teaching in all public
schools of the elements of industrial draw
ing is an essential part of any general sys-
TEN Of public education. The work con-
tains a report of the system followed In
English institutions and those in other
countries relating to technical instruction
and the history Of the progress of indus
trial and fine arts. There are several orig
inal papers in the work dealing with the
advance of this science and its probable
feet as textbook for school uses.

NEW YORK, November 24.-Henry
Kohut, the Bohemian, who is accused Of
setting fire to the tenement in East Sixty

moned to hold an inquest. Kohut, it Is
believed, set the place on fire in order to
