The subject of manual training in
schools is receiving some attention in
Milwaukee. 1t is one of the most pro-
digious humbugs in the category of edu-
cotional fallacies and can be sustained
only by entirely ignoring the functions
of the school. The schools are not de-
signed 20 give professional training IN
any sense b1t to prepare the pupil by
giving him instruments of learning, dis
cipline of mind and habits of thought so
that the professional training may be
comparatively easy. There can be no
doubt but that the performance OF Ger
tain duties by the child, which have re-
lation to the active affairs of life give
him feeling of responsibility which is no
uncomfortable part of education in itself.
But the "play work" of manual training
in public schools does no. give this feel
ing of responsibility and is in no sense
educating. 1t is making our public
schools which are designed to give ele-
mentary instruction, abortive industrial
schools. The cry for manual training in
public schools can only be quoted by
practically demonstrating how utterly
| out of place it is, and then the schools
| will return to their legitimate work for 9
| time soon again to run after an ignis-
| fatalus.

GEORGE Fl. ELY of Cleveland has writ
ten a letter to Secretary Manning advo-
eating retention of protective duty on
iron ore. He owns mines in the Lake
Superior region and has operated them
for 80 years. But he writes in the inter
est of American labor. What troubles
him is the fear that tree trade will bring
American labor into competition with the
pauper labor of Europe. The Milwau
,,ee Lake Shore & Western distributes
Mr. Ely's letter in pamphlet form. The
presumption is that this is done also in
the interests of the laborer though
certain doubts may with reason be enter
tanned when it is understood the COM
pany operates iron mines in this state.
1t may seriously be questioned if the
company did not own these mines wheth
er it would take so deep concern in the
welfare of the laborer as to distribute
this pamphlet for his sweet sake. The
mill owners of Menominee and Marinette
no doubt love the laborsr and still they
work him IA hours day and grant him
only one half hour st dinner time.
Ely express fear that with the tariff
removed, Cuba and Spain would furnish
iron ore for this country. CANCELS and
holy ministers of grace hover around US
and defend us!" Any industry which
needs protection from competition With
the backward, indolent Ignorant Cubans
or Spaniards must be lettering iisst.ttu-
ton.
Protection to American labor" is the
most offensive and insulting shape hyp-
ocrisy can assume, in view of the manner
in which labor is ground into the dust
when it may be done without the fear of
resistance. Think of the Hooking Val
ley miners taking out coal from mines at
30 C. per ton, and when the starvation
wages were refused the Importation of
the pauper labor to actually take place of
American labor +! This Is the protection
which these harpies offer. There would
be manliness in asking for protection on
the real grounds on which it is demand
ed. But the transparent snivsling ar
gument of concern for American labor has
grown to be positively disgusting. True,
it has deceived labor and has been effect
i've in maintaining the robber tariff which
taxes every man in the union for the
benefit wealthy manufacturers.

The Irish question has been the main
European topic of discussion the last two
weeks. The tremendous power which
Parnell has In his hands, has it may we'll
be feared, brought the question of home
rule for Ireland prematurely to the front
Home rule is assured in time but the
idea is hateful to the English people and
they must be educated to it slowly.
Gladstone had practically announced his
intention of giving Ireland her own par
lament. But tremendous outburst of
opposition throughout England renders it
impossible for him to carry out his pur-
pose. His party will not follow him, If
Ireland gets parliament it will be with
such limitations that agitation will be
| kept up. Still Gladstone has shown
what every one who has watched his
course must have believed, that his de-
sire to benefit the Irish people was al
ways in advance of his power. He would
willingly grant home rule now if he could.
IT is not Gladstone, it is the English ma
ton which stands in the way. He de-
serves we'll from every Irishman, though
The nationalists in opposing him were
following out line of policy whose wis
dom no one can question. They had to
sacrifice their friend in order to force the
English nation to make concessions
which Gladstone wnuld willingly gran
al a right.

THE Orangemen of Ireland are organ
izing to prevent home rule for Ireland.
Their protest will be of but little avail.
Fortunately the leaders in the Parnellite
movement are Professionals and equally
fortunate the Irish Catholics have grown
liberal enough not to distrust the SINGER
ity of men who do not belong to their
own faith. The Orangemen who pre-
tend they cannot trust Parnell, Protest
ant, IAN Irishman only by adoption, simp-
ly earn the contempt of every one, Tue
Irish leaders pay no attention to religion.
They are working simply for the good Of
the people without considering differen-
ces in creeds.

ROBERT TooMBs died last week in his
10th year. He was one of the few sun
reconstructed rebels" and his determined
opposition to the union has clouded the
splendid services the man did for the
people. Throughout the north his name
is Synonym for political maIignity and
the one event of his life which has re-
ceived most prominence is his boast that
he would call the roll of his slaves from
Bunker Hill Monument; and still Toombs
had in him the stuff of which heroes are
made. When he espoused cause he
knew no temporizing. His genius and
force of character enabled him to amass
a fortune though he continued to be an
Ishmaelite after the close of the war. He
was generous, bold asked no favors and
never courted the smile Of power.

SMALLEY of the N. Y. Tribune who al

SMALLEY of the N. Y. Tribune who al
ways sneers at every Legislative move
ment intended to do justice to the Irish
people, sarcastically remarks that it is
Gladstone's evident intention to crown
his public career by Welding to the de-
mands of the Irish and then speaks of
him as Parnell's latest disciple. No
statesman should desire a more honora-
BILE distinction than that he sought to do
justice to people who never knew any
thing in their own land that did not have
the SAVIOR of oppression. The funkies
may abuse man who has the moral
courage to stand up against tradition
that it is an evidence of responsibility to
deny every thing which sense of JUS
tice would concede to people whom it
has been the fashion to Cypress and vii
ify. Even in America it is considered
evidence of superior birth to traduce the
Irish and that unfortunate people in
every department of life are made to feel
they are handicapped by their national
ity. If they rise at oil it is through an
atmosphere of bigotry which cannot fail
to learn a faint of bitterness. Smalley
has adopted the fashion of speaking dis
rrc>spectfully of everything Irish.

CoNGREss has extended the franking
privilege to Mrs Grant and also allows
her pension of $1,000 per year. The
only vote II the house against the bill
was cast by Price of Wisconsin and he
has come in for an unmeasured share of
abuse in consequence. But Price wa,
actuated by the best motives. He argues
that the gratitude of the country is ex
tended to the leading generals and their
families while the private soldier is neg
lected, and he argues justly. Not every
soldiers family are in as easy circum-
stances as are Grants. They do not
know what want is while many q man
whose patriotism was as unsel6sh as
Grants, carried a musket in the army
which put down the rebellion and has
since had to fight want without even a
glance of recognition from the govern
ment for whose support he risked his
life. Out upon this silly hero worship
which would condemn mau like Pric
who saws the common soldiers services
are entitled to recognition as we'll as
those of the NAN who wore epaulettes
and received harvests Of honors.

The teachers meeting at the Branch
was fairly we'll attended on Saturday last,
but only by that class OF teachers who
stand least in need of the instruction
given at these meetings. There was no
excuse for the n-attendance of all the
teachers in that neighborhood. The day
was perfect, the roads were good and the
programme dealt with practical subjects.
Some young teachers at present engaged
in teaching their first school passed
through the village twice ON that day but
failed to put in an appearance at the
meeting. Only these teachers were
present who attend institutes and who
earn their salaries well, and whose ex-
perience would be of great value to that
class who studiously absent themselves
from every educational gathering and
who have not the faintest perception OF
what teaching is. On the request of the
superintendent who cannot be present at
all these meetings, some of toe better
teachers kindly go considerable distances
to these meetings so that the ineIperi-
enced teachers may profit by their
attendance. But very few of the latter
will attend. School boards In many III
stances seem to think their duty ceases
when they have signed the contract.
There are few of the younger teachers
in this county now on their first term
who have prepared SO thoroughly for the
work that already they rank among the
best teachers of the county. But in
every such instance these teachers while
pupils in the public schools, attended
teachers meetings. There are others
some of whom have taught for years, and
it would be better for the schools they
have in charge if their school room doors
were locked against them. But this lat
ter class are never found at teachers
meetings and rarely at institutes except
when driven there. They fnd no diff
Guilty in securing schools. When 1t
comes to ''hunting down a school" they
show no lack of energy. In fact one OF
them can do more running around In a
day about the time annual school meet
ings are held than one of the worthy
class can do in a week. When roads are
bad there is some excuse for failure to
attend these meetings, though bad roads
have never been considered an insupera
BILE obstacle in seeking school. But
such weather and roads as we have had
this month allow of no excuse.
Manitowoc county has a number OF
devoted teachers who have worked un
ceasingly to advance themselves an6
push the schools of the county to the
front. They have taken hold of the
course of instruction in a hearty, earnes
manner and have made instruction more
practical and valuable than it was before
they had this valuable guide. Tt is no
take no interest in their schools should
be allowed to compete with them. 4
young teacher who tries to do his bes
aud who improves every opportunity t.
gather information on matters pertaining
to his profession is entitled to respec
and consideration. But the other kin(
who think they have all the knowledg'
required to teach, when they procure
certificate, at once become fossils ant
unfortunately we have number of then
who have taught for years in the county

that the work in this respect Is most
commonplace. No one seriously expec-
ted anything of value and no one is dis
appointed. There has not been volume
of the Historical Collections of this state
which in literary merit is not equal to
Grants Memoirs. 1t is better than
Strongs Territorial History of Wisconsin
but in the order of merit belongs to just
that GLASS of books. It has had large
sale because anything WHICH Grant might
choose to say Of the war in which he took
SO prominent part would be read with
avidity. But no one can praise it with
out stultifying himself.
