unions, or. better still, in organizations OF the

Their embittering the relations between employer
and employed, but of improving them.
1t is astonishing how small a sacrifice upon
the part of the employer will sometimes greatly
benefit the men. / remember that at one of our
meetings with committee, it was incidentally
remarked by one speaker that the necessity for
obtaining credit at the stores in the neighbor-
hood was grave tax upon the men. An ordi-
nary workman, he said, could not afford to main
tain himself and family for month, and as he
only received his pay monthly, he was compelled
to obtain credit and to pay exorbitantly for
everything; whereas, if he had the cash, he
could buy at 20 per cent less. "Well, said,
why cannot we overcome that by paying every
two weeksp The reply was: 1--WE did not like
to ask it, because we have always understood
that it would cause much trouble but, if you do
that 1t will be worth an advance of per cent.
In our wages We have paid semi-monthly
since. Another speaker happened to say that
although they were in the midst of coal, the
price charged for small lots delivered at their
houses was certain sum per bushel The price
named was double what our best coal was cost
ing u.s. How easy for US to deliver to our men
such coal as they required, and charge them
cost! This was done without cents loss
to US, but with much gain to the men. Several
which their labors might be lightened or prod
ucts increased. and others suggesting changes in
machinery or facilities, which, but for the con
ferences referred to- would have been unthought
OF by the employer and probably never asked for
by the men. For these and other reasons l at
tribute the greatest Importance to an organiza-
ton of the men, through whose duly elected rep
resentatives the managers may be kept
from time to time of their grievances and sug-
gestions No matter how able the manager, the
clever workman can often show him how bene-
fetal changes can be made in the special branch
in which that workman labors. Unless the rela-
tions between manager and workmen are not
only amicable, but friendly, the owners miss
much; nor is any man first-class manager who
has not the confidence and respect, and even the
admiration. of his workmen. No man is a true
gentleman who does not inspire the affection
and devotion of his servants. The danger is that
such committees may ask conferences too often;
three or four meetings pcr year should be re-
garded IS sufficient

tiality shonld be shown to any branch Of
labor All the trades and occupations oil
the laooring class should be represented in such

favored above others There should be schools

many other trades. If manual labor is to he

Again, the cost of the introduction of such a
change in our system of public education should
be carefully considered. Our present accomoda-
tions are wholly inadequate for the introduction
of this manual instruction. Numerous addition
al buildings, machinery, and tools, aud a large
corps of new teachers would be required tits
doubtful whether the taxpayers in these times
of business depression would want such an ex-
penslve experiment tried.
But the main question for our school board TO
consider is this: Is instruction in manual labor
germane to our common school system in this
country! 10 your correspondent it seems quite
otherwise 1t is the glory of our country that il
undertakes to give to every child in the land in
struction in the elementary branches OF
knowledge. The schools were designed for
the education Of the mind and not the

not within their scope. Our public schools are
the growth of 25O years, without no radical rev
olution in the system. No country is giving
better education to its children than we are. If
there were no high-schools boy who goes
through the graded schools has good education
AS good as thousands of business men who
have attained to the highest success. | believe
the reason why there ase SO few boys in the

There is no doubt at all that the importance
of books has been vastly overrated, and espe-
cially so in the immediate past-we really seem
at this time to be outgrowing our devotion to
the literary fetch--and that many men and
women who vex themselves with literature
which they do not half comprehend, and which
does not interest them in the least, because they
think they owe something to their own cult
ure-as if literary information were the only
culture-might have been better employed in
very many WAYS.
