Manners in S hools.

If the object of school education be to
fit children for useful ard successful lives
when they become men and women, we can
think Of no part of their instruction upon
which more stress should be laid than
upon that which relates to department.
When there are dozen applicants for a
position in business house, the best man
nered boy or youth of the lot is invariably
selected. Well hammered boys rarely re-
main long in the messenger service in our
cities, for the reason that business men
offer them better positions and secure their
services. The best hammered statesmen and
saleswomen sell the most goods and are in
greatest demand Good-mannered men
make their way in politics, in the profess
sions, in business life and in society to
far greater decree than the boorish and
uncouth, though the latter may be equal
ly diligent and quite as competent in all
respects save that of department.. These
undisputed facts show clearly that the
child who is not instructed in manners is
being deprived of the most important part
of its education. 1t is true that
manners should be taught at home.
But in many homes the parents would
need teaching first before they could teach
their children. To the children of such
homes the school affords the only opportu-
nifty they will ever have of learning the
rudimeuts of common politeness. II the
schools fails in its duty in this respect,
these children must grow up as boorish as
their parents. The children of cultivated
homes will likewise be all the better if
required to practice in school the polite
ness they are taught at home. Parents
who have been careful TO teach their chill
dren good manners at home have fire.
quently found cause to complain that their
efforts in this direction were largely neu-
tralized because no stress was laid upon
this subject in the schools. There are a
few old fashions that are better than the
new, and one Of these is the fashion of
teaching children to be courteous and po-
lite at school. 1t is a fashion that has
sadly fallen into decay, and it should be
revived at once. A school education that
does not include this is is vitality deficient,
and in this day when education is within
the reach of all, it is scarcely less than
criminal to allow boys and girls to gradu-
ate from school as rude in department as
lot of young savages.-Piiiadeiphia Times.

Matters.
New YORK, December 5th.-Jay Gould inter
viewed says the Missour-Pscifc favors con-
solidation with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
and has favored it for some time. The difficulty
has been the stock and bonded indebtedness
per mile of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, is
larger than the Missouri Pacific. He has no
plan for an organization to supersede the Inter-
state Railroad Association, bat says the objects
of the Association are rendered nugatory by a
change in the constitution which enables any
road dissatisfied with the established rates 10
appeal to arbitrators, end through the arbitra-
tors report adversely to enable il to mske its
own rate notwithstanding. He thinks Wana-
maker rates for Government telegrams unjust
and believes Wsnamaker considers them un.
just. Lawyers say that Wanamaker, having
made the Ta'e for one year at l mill per word
has no power, even il he should have the wish,
to rescind or change it, and that it must stand
until the end of the year We have, however,
a resource in the Courts 1t has been decided
in a recent railroad case that the Government
has no right to exact service which entails loss
upon the giver of it. On this grouod he hopes
to see the Wanamaker schedule set aside.
