THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Closing Exercises mt Turner Hail
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
The commencement exercises Of the
Summer class Of 1888 OF the State Nor
NAL school took place yesterday afternoon
at Turner Hall, which was scarcely large
enough to admit the friends and relatives
Of those who formed the graduating class
The doors opened at half past one o'clock
and from that time until two O'Clock there
was no cessation in the pouring in of the
audience, which, at the |; Ter hour, filed
every seat and occupied all the
standing room available. These we're in
terested in the graduation Of Misses Ma
tilda F. Adams, Margaret L. Benedict,
Florence M. Cromer, Bertha E.
Fitzmier, Annie R. Hanlon, Fan
ME M. Hayes, Mary |. Hutchinson,
Mueller, Julia M. Myers, Estelle Patten,
Wilmatiie Porter, Flora Reavis, Carrie
Reeves, Harriet v. Reilly, Francis Stark,
Rosella Stoermer, Ella l.. Slottenberg,
Anne M. Weir and Albertina Wiseman,
who, when the curtain rose, were seen
seated on the stage. The young ladies'
were attired in white, and the only young
man in the class occupied seat opposite
Prof. More, who was also on the stage.
Just behind the footlights was a perfect
embankment OF flowers arranged in var
ious designs from the simple bouquet to
the intricate figure, and at each side were
large stands which added charming effect
to the scene. These were all for the grad
yates, and after the exercises, were dis
tributed among them. The exercises
opened with music by the orchestra in
attendance. Prof. More then introduced
Miss Harriet v. Reilly, who read her
essay on "Observation. This was a
we'll written essay, and displayed more
than ordinary thought in the author.
Miss Mary l. Hutchinson's poem, "The
Sunny Side," was most excellent, and
met with warm reception. Miss Flora |
Rawson's essay on Symbols" was quite |
original, and was listened to with undi-
vided attention by the audience. Miss |
Wilmattie Porter's "Class History and |
Prophecy" was very interesting, es-
pecially to those who had an acquaint-
ance with the young ladies'. Miss Al
bertina Wiseman sang "Gaily Chant the |
Summer Birds" in excellent voice.
Miss Carrie Reeves essay, "E'en Ice.
bergs Need Not Chill the SOUL" was
warmly applauded by the audience, and /
Miss Julia NJ. Myers essay on 1.-THE
Statue OF Memnon" was more than ex-
cellent.
Prof More at this point introduced
Hon. R. F. Del Vale, who delivered an
eloquent address to the graduates. He
praised them for their work in the past
as evidenced by the essays he had heard
read. and outlined the paths'of life over
which they must tread in the future.
His advice was most practical and was
listened to by the young ladies with
such attention as to show that they were
willing to receive and act by it. Prof.
More then presented the graduates with
their diplomas, giving all kindly words
as they stepped forward to receive the
parchment they had worked so hard to
obtain. The exercises closed with the
class song which was written by Miss
Flora Rawson and was heartily ap-
ulauded

WHITTIER OIL.
A Good Flow struck i'm the second
Well.

The second oil well at Whittier was
down five hundred and thirty-five feet
on Wednesday morning, and at that
depth the oil came pouring into it in
great quantities, and gave evidence that
before being pushed downward
many more feet, the largest
flow of oil in this part Of
the State would be obtained. The first
well, the digging of which was stopped
by the breaking Of the pipe, has furnished
enough oil to work the machinery in
boring the second well, which has been
sent downward quite rapidly. The result Of
the boring through the next few feet is
awaited with interest. Mr.. Hervey
Lindley has gone to Whittier, and will
probably return to-day, when fuller re-
port can be obtained. The telephone
wires were down yesterday and prevented

Mr.. EDITOR: Your able leader in this
mornings issue, in which you SO cOurte-
ously reply to my last communication, is
certainly not open to the charges which
ventured to lay against those which
preceded it. 1t is both clear and speci-
fic in it's application, and my object in
troubling you again is not for the sake of
having the last word, but rather to fur
Their elucidate the subject, which the
present discussion has very largely tend
ed to do.
In regard to the regulation of the
Board giving certain privileges to demon
national teachers, there are at least two
questions to be cOnsidered-first, Is it
intrinsically q good theory? and, second,
Do majority of the taxpayers desire
it?
Though the individual opinion of the
present writer would prompt him to give
an affirmative answer to the first Of these
propositions, he readily admits that the
regulation would not be justifable with
out the sanction o. public opinion, and
the only really reliable way of arriving
at this is through the voice of the Legis-
lature. 1t is, therefore, to say the least,
doubtful whether the action of the Board
is admissible under the existing law.
But as to it's being fraught with danger
to the state school system, l can only
refer you to the remarks contained in my
previous letter. [ submit that the abso-
lutte equality of the rights of man, be be
Jew or Gentle, the due recognition of
which forms one of the most distinguish
ing characteristics of that syotonn, is -
no way vltlaCed by The new departure.

THE DAILY
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1888.

A FRIEND, whose opportunities for OBJ
tanning correct information about school
matters are exceptionally good, writes
us, among other things, the following
"There is no doubt that the various oppos-
ing sects in this little Kingdom, if allow
cd full sway during school hours, would
soon bring about a state of anarchy.
The only position. which the Board, in
such a mixed community as this, can
take is to be strictly unsectarian.
Even with such distinct statement
as the Board have made there will be
some who will doubtless try to whip
the devil round a stump or in other
words to get religious teaching of THEN
particular doxy into some OF the schools
and there are teachers weak enough tC
be influenced by such people. En-
quiries, which 1 have recently made
from people well acquainted with the
management 81 our schools, go to shew
that each religious body makes an effort
where it has influence, to smuggle in
some religious teaching or other.'

Number of items on which reductions
were made by this Act, 499. The free
list has increased from $17,00O,000 in
1867 to 100000 in 1887, and the
average percentage of duty levied has
decreased from 46 per cent. in 1867 to 81
per cent. in 1887. Under these circum-
stances, and in view also of the immense
reductions which have been made in the
internal revenue, it is hardly fair to say,
in the unqualified sense in which it is
generally done, that the American peo-
pie at the present time are burdened
with a "war tariff" or ''war taxes"

nONOLoA1V viii he pretty we'll adver-
tised by the gentlemen of the press, who
passed through this city the other Sun
day. The more of this kind of adver-
tising we get the better. Articles which
appear in the leading dailies of the great
Western centres and in the East reach a
far wider public than anything which is
done by private enterprise here. The
better we are known, the better the tour
list traffic will become. These islands
certainly offer great natural induce
ments to tourists, but we must offer
greater luxurious inducements also. In
this direction we are now making some
Roadway. The new road to the Vol
cano by which the long horseback ride
is relegated to the past and is replaced
by q pleasant drive is one step in the
right direction. The opening of hotel
or boarding house at Waikiki is another
step, and the tramway is yet another.
The more facilities we offer the more
tourists will come. People in this 10th
century do not care to have to undergo
discomfort, let alone hardship, and our
aim must be to increase the comforts q
everyone that comes. To do this we
shall also have to discard some Of the
Anticipated notions which are now no
longer suitable to the changed condition
of affairs here.

THE DAY OF CAST STEEL OVER
ShipbuiIders Have Practically Decide,
to Abandon it's Use.

shipbuiIders Have Practically Decided
to Abandon it's Use.
The following is a Washington spe-
cial of October 10th to the New York
Herald:
There seems to be a growing desire on
the part of the shipbuilders to do away
with cast steel for use in building the
machinery of the vessels of war. Dur
ing the past year or two experience has
proven to the practical shipbuilder and
designer that the tendency of large steel
castings to develop flaws is greatly on
the increase and nearly all of the Eng
lish firms and great many in this
country have practically decided to
abandon their use. The principle laid
down for these flaws, that the harder
the metal the greater the liability to
cracks, caused no doubt by the unequal
tension In cooling, seems to be the one
generally agreed upon.
Humphreys & Tenant, the designers
of the Baltimore's engines, had never
used steel castings in their machinery
when they made that design, and only
incorporated them on account of the
popular craze for that material. Since
then the use OF steel castings in a few
engines has proved them to be SO unre-
liable that Messrs. Humphreys 4 Ten
nant will not now use them in their
machinery except at the risk of persons
ordering engines with that material in
them, and they will use no steel castings
without guarantee from The makers of
the castings to assume the cost of all
damages arising from their breakage.
The Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco, which has the contract to build
the new cruiser Charleston, are adopting
the same principles and are only using
cast steel when it is absolutely neces7
sary. Forged iron and forged steel are
now being used, and in the last three
English war ships built cast steel was
entirely discarded, and the sternpost Of
each was constructed of PHOSPHORUS
bronze. 1t is believed that the trouhIe
would be equally serious in cast steel
ordnance, but as no official trial of the
ten inch gun at Annapolis has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department it is i'm
possible to speak definitely on that point
but SO far as steam machinery is CON
cerned, the Use of cast steel is rapidlv
becoming thing OF the past.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
The Bible in the Schools.

Judge Bennett of Wisconsin rendered
his decision November 10Th in the cele-
Board of District Eight, Edgerton. The
suit was brought to restrain the teachers
from reading the Bible in the public
schools. 1t was held by the plaintiffs,
who are wealthy Catholics, that King
James version was not recognized by
their church as correct, and that reading
the Bible under any circumstances, I'M
less explained by an authorized teacher
of the church, was not only nnhelpful
but injurious. Judge Bennett held that
the reading of the Bible without COM
ment was not sectarian instruction. The
question is one which the courts have
never before had an opportunity to try,
and the outcome has been awaited with
much interest

A PROMINENT feature of the late presi-
dental contest was the constant repeti-
ton of the terms "war tariff " and "war
taxes" coupled with the declaration
that the American people were still pay
ing "war rates." and it was high time
the same were reduced to figure more
BETTING a period of peace. Although
these phrases were not destitute of a
certain element Of truth, their persistent
reiteration, without explanation or quail
considerable degree of misapprehension
as to the real facts of the case, and to
encourage the idea that the people of the
United States were still laboring under
substantially the same burdens of direct
and indirect taxation as at the close of
the great civil war in 1865. The follow
ing outline of the changes which have
been actually made in the duties on inn
ports since the date just named is COM
piled from an Eastern paper received by
the last foreign mail. The article from
which it was taken is too lengthy to be
reproduced in the ADVERTISER entire,
but the figures may be depended upon
as correct.
Three important revisions of the tariff
have taken place since 1870-Viz, by the
acts of July IA, 1870, of June 6, 1872, and of
March 3, 1883. Minor changes in rates
have been made from time to time by
other acts.
