Education in Missouri.

| The annual report of the United States
! Commissioner of Education has Just been
issued. 1t contains digest of the re-
port of the State Superintendent of Mis-
| souri,, the most noteworthy passages Of
which are as follows:
| In the country schools each teacher is in
| dependent of every other teacher in the
! county; unity of purpose and concentration
| of effort are wholly disregarded; the CLASH
| fcation is loose and system is unknown;
! one-half of these schools are taught by mex
perienced boys and girls, who should be at
tending some good school in order to famil-
iariZe themselves with that knowledge which
they should be enabled to impart to those
whom they are pretending to teach; and, in
fact, many of these schools are no better
than those we had in this State thirty or forty
years ago.
Although the Constitution of the State eX-
pressly declares that no appropriation of
public funds shall be made in behalf of any
public or private institution in which sec
tartan doctrines or creeds are taught this
provision is being daily violated in many OF
the schools.
In Il large number of the districts of the
State the German element of population
greatly prepOndcrateS, and as consequence
the schools are mainly taught in the German
language, and sometimes entirely SO. Hence,
if an American family lives in such district
the children must either be deprived of
school privileges or ell be taught the Ger
man language. In some districts the schools
are taught in German a certain number of
months and then in English, while in others
German is used part of the day and English
the rest.
Some of the teachers employed are scarce
ly able to read or speak the English Ian
guage, while the first question asked him is
whether he reads and speaks German. Many
letters were received by the State Superin-
tendent from school officers and patrons ask
ing if the schools should not be taught in
German, and complaining that, although
living in this country, their children are be-
ing taught in Il foreign language. In Gas
Conade County German is taught in about
twenty seven, or nchalf the districts. In
st. Louis County there are eighty four dis
tricts; forty of them teach German. Many
of the more enlightened Germans prefer
that the schools be taught in English, as
they are anxious for their children to be
AmericaniZed in principles, feelings and lam
guage.

Salt in the Ocean.


The proportion of salt contained in
the ocean water is computed by
chemical analysis at a little more
than 8 per cent, which if extracted
from the waters and agglomerated
into a single mass, would form an
immense quadrangular mountain
whose base would occupy all North
America, and whose pinnacle would
be at least 5000 feet in height. All
the mechanical contrivances, aided
by the tremendous power of all the
steam and water power of the world
could not move such a mass of mat
ter, yet the machinery Of the ocean
is so nicely, and marvelously, and
wonderfully compensated that the

its bosom is capable of putting it in
motion; even the soft rays of the
moon above the whole mass.-Ex.
