THE JUVENILE TEMPLE
CONCERT.

The Juvenile Temple gave second
concert on Friday evening last at Kim
ball Opera House, and, although a Sc.
we're storm prevailed, was attended by
a full house. The concert was repeated
again on Saturday afternoon, for the
benefit of such as were deferred from
attending on Friday evening, and al.
though the weather was stormy the
attendance was good. There has been
no entertainment in the city for years
which excited the admiration of this.
1t was an exhibition of musical and
dramatic cleverness composed of home
talent, and probably unsurpassed here.
The surprise was heard expressed that
the band of cOrRet players and the
drummers should have made such a de
gree of proficiency during the brief
period they have been under instruc.
ton. The girls band, in neat costume,
and the boys drum corps, in uniform,
marching and countermarching in
military order, under the direction of
their officers, was a novel and pleasing
spectacle. In the dramatic exercises
the characters represented were well
sustained. The performance was anus
ing from beginning to end. and calcu.
lated to educate youthful minds in the
principles of temperance, not only in
respect to intoxicating liquors. but al
so the use of tobacco in all its forms,
whether smoking the pipe, the cigar,
cigarette, or the old-time habit called
tobacco-chewing. The opinion is ven
tured that the entertainment of the
Children's Juvenile Temple will bear
repeating at proper intervals and draw
paying houses.

WHAT SHOULD BE TAUGHT
IN THE SCHOOLS.

The question what should be taught
in the public free schools is now
much discussed. 1t cannot be inferred
that because the schools are free the
scholars have right to pursue such
branches of study as they choose. The
true intent of the public schools is to
fit the learner for usefulness and the
intelligent exercise of citizenship. If
the state pays the expense of educat-
ing boy it has right to expect some
equivalent in return. If the state de.
rives no advantage from an educated
population then the money appropri-
ated for educational purposes is no
good investment. The state authority
has right to say what may be taught
in the schools at the public expense.
Some of our professional educators
suggest there is much instruction in
the schools that might be eliminated
and other branches of learning
substituted in place. Many a boy
" ciphers through the arithmetic" en-
puzzling mathematical
problems which may not be found of
any practical Importance during life
time. There is much less surplus
study in the school books now than
years ago, but there is still remaining
some that might be displaced, to gain

CHEAPER FUEL.

One of the greatest discoveries of the
age now demanded is cheaper fuel, a
substitute for coal. The supply of coal
is growing monopoly, with no hope
of a relief. The coal fields of Pennsyl-
vania, from which are furnished the
best and much greater part of the coal
consumed in this country, are controll-
ed by parties who establish prices to suit
their convenience. There is no method
to control the coal market by legisla-
ton, state or national; the owners of
the coal mines have right to fix prices
as they see fit. In all past ages, when
the aid of science and discovery were
needed to meet great want Of the
people, it has ultimately been found
The discovery of substitute for fuel
cheaper than coal would not be more
remarkable than discoveries made for
the benefit of the people the past halt
century. It is reported that there are
able scientists now experimenting in
search of the desired substitute for
ceal. Some Of the theories which years
ago seemed to approach the sought-fol
discovery, and abandoned, are again
revived, with hopes of final success
one of which was the obtainment OF
hydrogen from water. 1t must not be
supposed that science and discovery
have been exhausted; there is much
yet to be revealed that will astonist
| the world.
