The January number OF this magazine
abounds with so much good reading
selection cannot be made, and the reader
will not be content until the whole has
been read. BY singular coincidence
three of the leading periodicals that come
to the book table in the opening month of
the new year discuss what shall be taught
in the public schools, fact that shows
how the attention Of thinking men aid
women of to-day is directed towards
this all-important matter. The conclu-
sion reached by all is that public money
should be used In TIE fprtherance Of
pu-..c ends, hence thst mode Ct training
which b.s: enables the pupil to become
an honest, self-supporting citizen is the
proper one TO be adopted. The author

that by which both eye and hand are

THE AMERICAN MAG The
American Magazine Company. New York.
Manual training in the public schools
as part Of the course, is attracting the
attention OF educators in oil parts of the
country. The subject is here well pre-
sented By Mrs. Blake, the opening clause
holding in q nutshell the kernel of the
argument.
"Could you make as good a pair Of
shoes IS that when you Gamer" asked a
visitor at one OF our prisons, ct con-
vict In the workrcom.
"No, sif," was the instant reply. Then
after nom ent's hesitation, "If could
have I'd never have been here" An ex-
emplifcation of the truth OF the sayings
of Jewish rabbis, "That whosoever fails
to have his son taught trade, teaches
him TO be thief" It is certainly better
economy in 8 government to teach trades
in schools than in penitentiaries. but
aside from the value OF such training az 8
preventive Of crime, the education Of the
hand forms m important adjunct to tie
education Of the head, and becomes qul'e
IS muek an inspiration to good as cneck
to evil. Manual training in schools is 10
longer theory, but has been shown by
successful experiments in the Dwight
school at Boston, thoroughly practicable,
the results showing no great increase of
expense or lessening OF work in other les
sons, unless it be judlcious shortening
of drudgery. This article is well worthy

question, elbow shall the youth Of the

HAPPY MIR. HORR.
The Imported Orator Amuses
MontevideO Republicans.


MoNTEvIDEo, Mimi, Aug. 16.-A
grand Republican rally was held here
tonight after the band had played
an overture DR.. G. E. Rog-
ers arose and made rath-
er personal attack upon George H.
Claggett, president of the Democratic
club. He then introduced ID. S. Hall,
who made brief speech. Then the
imported thoroughbred partisan orator,
Roswell e. Horr, of Michigan, took the
floor and berated the Democrats. Pro-
hibitiOnistS and everybody except Re-
publicans. He painted the beauties of
protection with no uncertain shade, pro-
duced as his banner argument salt. but
remarked that competition had pro-
duced cheap salt, cheap steel rails and
cutlery. The denunclatiOnS of the Pro
hibitiOnist cause. and candidates
was so bitterly partisan that Rev. c. w.
Lawson arose involuntarily to call him
to order. Mr. Lawson is one of the Sons
of Veterans here, and also a Prohibit
zionist and pastor Of the M. E. church.
Mr.. HOrr could do better service for his
party if he wound refrain from offend
ing such men. The audience heard all
about those rebel flags, those vetoed
pension bills. the terrible solid South
and bloody shirt racket in general. Mr..
Horr said the Democrats did not know
how to run with a full treasury: that
if the Republicans got there they would
show them how to get the money out.
The hall was crowded and the address
a fine argument for protection,

Subjects Discussed by the Road
Masters Convention.

Masters convention.
BOsTON, Mass, Aug. l6.-The dis
cussion of broken joints and the laying
of rails around curve was taken up
this morning, when the convention of
roadmasters came together. The road
masters were about evenly divided be-
tween square joints and broken Joints.
In the West, where mud is used largely
for ballast, the square joint seemed most
popular. In the East. where gravel
is used, most of the roadmaSters use the
broken joint.
F. &. Clark. of the Housatonic road.
presented resolution recommending
that rails should never be less than
seyenty-two-pounds per yard, and as
much more so much the better; that the
size of rails should be four and One-half
inches high by five inches base and so
made as to nearly conform to the face
and range of the wheel: that rails
should be curved when laid on curves
of more than two degrees; that the
suspended Joints best and most prac tt
cable; that the broken Joints always the
best, and that rails be curved by some
form of machine which shall not pro-
duce sudden cOncuSSiOn on the rails.
With the exception of the suspended
joint clause, the others were adopted
unanimously. The supported versus
suspended joints had only one ma
jority for the latter. Mr. Clark offered
resolution giving as the sentiment
of the convention that August is the
time to NOW and burn weeds and brush
and the most economical way to dis
pose of old ties is to burn al! that
cannot be sold, and that time spent
round the stations is good investment.
The resolution was adopted. The dis
cussion of nut locks, the best and thin
est, was taken up. Upon motion. the
convention decided to meet ON the third
Wednesday in August, 1889, in Boston.
