A Plan Which, II Adopted. Would Provo
Of Objectionable Utility.
We take it for granted that manual train
ing is to become a fixed element of public
school instruction. Suppose, with this as
. groundwork, courses were arranged in
the schools so as to enable . child to b
present only one-half Of the time without
loss of connection in his studies. II the
course were continuous from morning to
morning, and the same course were re.
peated in the afternoon, two sets Of chill
dren could be provided for. Suppose, as
the same time, that employers OF child rem
consented to engage " children half .
day, where each they now have n for the
whole day, the children would obtain both
education and income. The employer
would be benefited by having more
intelligent workers. The second prin.
ciple, then, is that the public
schools must develop an organic
connection with the industrial world. The
objection will quickly occur that the chill
dren's wages would thereby be reduced
one-half, which they could not stand. II
the absurd separation that we have made OF
education and he application Of it is over.
come, the objection, SO far as it is real. will
disappear. This will require . system Of
technical schools connected with the shops
where the actual industry Of the world is
going forward, and that the most favorable
to these be the public schools. Here
it shall be possible for the boy to pay his
way, Inc very soon to do more than pay his
way, while acquiring invaluable theoretical
instruction. Our National industry calls
for this higher training, to say nothing Of
its value to the operatives and employers in.

especially attended to preliminary
instruction in engineering, that three
years at colleges Of this kind (technical
~colleges,, combined with two years in the
workshops. turn out better men than five
years apprenticeship in the latter. With
this system it will be possible and safe to

money to such boys as are in absolute need

ring OF their course. They can be allowed
to mortgage their future labor, and, since
their prospects are better in connection
with the school than anywhere else, the
security may be deemed sufficient. This,
in the man, disposes Of the objection that
was raised regardingt the diminished income

world. because it stands upon a rela-

with a weight upon its foundations OF

served as an illustration of the danger
Of attempting to carry masonry to q
greater height than before achieved.
Fortunately the foundation settled
evenly. but to prevent probable demoli-
ton. the base was reconstructed and
filed in with concrete. Meantime the
structure began to lean to an extent
that caused great uneasiness. and,
finally. the suspension OF the work.
The reconstruction was begun in l848.
and in 1854. when it reached a height
Of 152 feet. its dangerous condition be-
came somewhat marked. Its originally
intended altitude of 600 feet was then
reduced to 800. In 1880. after great
difficulties the base had been widened
and the foundation enlarged and deep
ened. Work was then recommended
and the masonry continued upward at
the rate Of about 100 feet yearly, until
the topmOst stone was laid December
1884" The monument is 555 feet

them on ordinary social or political topics
but when any reference was made to HI
trouble. or to means for defending himself
he sternly refused to proceed further witt
the conversation. He declared that b,
would have no lawyer and would defent
himself when the time came, and he still
persisted IN making no explanation to any
body about his part of the affair. The da!
for the trial came. and Mr.. Brownlow wa
placed in the prisoners bar before thu
judge. The charge was read, and to TIN
question Of the clerk, whether he was guilty
or not guilty, he responded in q clear tore:
"Not guilty"
Mr.. Brownlow," asked the Judge. ''are
you represented by counsel!"
NO, SIR was the reply.
do You not wish counsel to be appointed
for you!"
NO, sir" said Mr.. Brownlow. II pro.
pose to defend myself"
This is q very serious matter, Mr..
Brownlow," said the Judge, steSnly, 'and
you do not do right to yourself or to the com.
munity by refusing to avail yourself Of such
opportunities as may be right to clear your
self Of the charge which you have persist
entity denied"
Mr.. Browulow smiled, bowed his head and
said not a word.
The Judge thought the matter over for
several minutes, and, finally, turning to the
prisoner, said:
Il shall exercise the discretion vested in
me by the law and appoint counsel for you,
and in doing SO l shall choose q whom ]
think fitted to represent you faithfully in
this court Mr.. Henry Parker will act Is
your attorney
The gentleman named by the judge was
in the courtroom, a were a great many
other young lawyers attracted by the case
and its peculiar circumstances Mr.. Parker
felt that q piece Of the greatest good fortune
had fallen to hin IN being chosen to act as
counsel for a very wealthy man, and he In
mediately rose to move the adjournment of
the case until he could have . consultation
with his client.
The motion was Immediately granted, and
Mr.. Parker consulted with his client with
out delay. Gr. Brownlow received him
coldly.
II understand said the young lawyer,
1.-THE peculiar delicacy Of the situation in
which we find ourselves. You receive me
unwiIlingly and ! come to you unbidden by
Sod SSAA ohN SoApSASA w NoAS ~ sAS
order Of the court Now, you will under
stand that in our relations nothing which Is
said shall be prejudicial to your interests.
1t is highly important that I should know
the truth in this case in order to represent
your interests intelligently. Will you not
disclose your knowledge Of the matter to me
for this purposer'
Mr.. Parker" said Brownlow, coldly, u
appreciate your courtesy, but I can say
nothing. I desire no defense, and you will
serve me best by Withdrawing at once from
the case"
The young lawyer argued for nearly An
hour with his obdurate client, but could
get NO concessions from him of the nature
that he desired. Day after day he made
similar attempts, and when the adjourned
date of the trial came to hand he was no
nearer to his object than before.
