THE AMERICAN BOY.
How Manual Training VIII Help to Ma
Him n Good Man.


Him "a Good Man.
We have enjoyed numerous oppor.
tunities to discuss with intelligent work
ingmen the ultimate destiny of the
American boy; we have heard the views
of the most thoughtful among them
with regard to the apprenticeship sys-
TEN, or rather the lack of it, in this
country, but we have found but very
small number willing to say even good
word for the introduction of a course of
manual training in the public schools.
The argument they use against it is in.
variably the same; they are opposed
to any movement that would result in
overstocking the market for skilled
labor by encouraging young men to
enter the ranks of labor. 1t is useless
to point out to them that their action
in this respect has already resulted
in crowding the legal and medical pro-
fessions, and forcing into them large
numbers of young men who are bu'
poorly equipped for their practice, in
depressing the demand for clerks, sales.
men, etc, until the services of those
who have learned no other calling are
drug in the market, while the ranks OF
our artisans are recruited mainly from
the immigrants arriving on our shores.
They use the very facts quoted to point
their own case, and assert that the con-
dition of the thousands of struggling
lawyers, doctors, clerks, etc., is warn.
ing to them.
This is selfish view to take of the
situation, and one that is bound to re.
coil on the heads of those by whom it is
entertained. Already we hear on all
sides complaints as to the number OF
half-trained mechanics, whose work
brings discredit on their calling and
it, and it is easy enough to discover the
cause. Whereas, former claimants to
admission to the artists ranks were com
pelled to undergo thorough preparation
and instruction, in the shape of an ap.
premiership, andueEjoyed an abundant
opportunity for practice as journeymen
before being accepted as masters of their
rraft, they are freed from all such re-
strictions nowadays. A man with
bare smattering Of business finds lit
tie difficulty in securing employment
provided he viii make himself cheap
enough, and he Is soon able to fill, how.
ever imperfectly. the place of the me
chanic.
Manual training at school would be
the first step towards a remedy for this
state of affairs. In place of starting in,
after completing course of schooling,
during which no taste for manual work
has been encouraged, to master the
rudiments of q mechanical trade, the
aspirant would be able to take hand
in practical operation at a point from
which he would soon be able to reach
position where he would prove of
value; in other words, before attaining
the age at which his responsibilities as
member of the community commence.
he would have gained by actual practice
fair knowledge of his business.
A knowledge of the first principles of
mechanical work gained at school can
not but tend to make the student bet
ter mechanic and with the advent of a
better class of mechanics the existence
of the botch workman, who is after ell
the most dangerous competitor of skilled
labor, will become impossible Safety

Origin of Different RI ces.

M. De Quatrefages, the French ethno-
iogist, has made public his conclusions
with regard to the origin and distribu-
tion of the human race. lie says all
mankind came from central mass in
Northern Asia, and that there
were three fundamental types-black,
white and yellow. These three types
scattered over the world and intermin-
gled, forming, in time, seventy-two dis
tinct races, which is the number now
represented on the globe. De Quatre-
FACES believes that the American Indians
came from offending of the white and
yellow races with local quatcrnary
race."-St Louis Republic.

The Pride of His Clnss.

He was a bright, handsome boy of six
teen, sunny-tempered, brilliant and engag-
ing, the delight of his parents, the JOY of his
home, and the pride of his class. But shad.
ow fell across his bright prospects. 1t be.
gan with tritling cough; soon came pre-.
monitions of consumption, his strength
failed, his checks grew hollow, and he
seemed doomed to an early grave. Then u
friend advised DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. He tried it and was saved.
Health and strength returned, his cheerful
voice rang out again across the school play
ground, his checks again grew rosy, his
eyes bright. He is still "the pride of his
class" and he graduates this year with high
est honors.

The Issue of Wisconsin.

Geo. W. Peck, the present mayor of
Milwaukee, was nominated last week
for governor by the Wisconsin Demo
cratic State Convention. This nomi-
nation clearly defines the issue in that
State-the right of the State to estab-
lish and direct secular education.
Peck is one of the most determined
and outspokeR opponents of the Ben
nett lava law enacted in the inter-
est of education and the ignorant and
defenseless children of the State.
There were 1850 children in the
State between the ages of and Ia
who did not attend any school last
And a great political party demands
that this army of ignorance shall be
allowed to grow up in that common
wealth, constant disgrace and peril.
The Bennett law neither approves nor
disapprOves of church or parochial
schools. II does not NEEDLE with
them in any way, beyond requiring
that they shall teach the children at
tending them the elements of reading,
writing and arithmetic and the politi-
Cal history of their native land in the
official language of the state. The
Democratic party arrays itself in de-
te-miaed opposition to these simple,
reasonable and necessary require
ments. That party denies that secu-
lar education is part of the business
of a secular state. In effect it denies
that popular education is essential to
American liberty and enlightened pro.
gress. The issue is clearly defined.
No party ever had better cause than
the Republicans of Wisconsin have
this year, and they are going to win.
The attitude of the Democratic party
on this great question simply affords
another illustration of its lack of NOR
al sense. Its capacity for wicked
foolishness, and foolish wickedness i:
something wonderful to contemplate

u was not on the field Of battle,
10 was not with a ship at sea,
But fate far worse than either
That stole him away from me;
Twas the death in the ruby wine-eup,
That the reason aud senses drown;
He drank the alluring poison,
And thus my boy went down
Down from the heights Of manhood
To the depths of disgrace and sin,
Down to a worthless being,
From the hope of what might have been.
For the brand of beast besotted
He bartered his manhood's crown;
Through the gate Of sinful pleasure
Ny poor, weak boy went down.
It's only the same old story
That mothers so often tell,
With accents of infinite sadness,
Like the tones of funeral bell;
Butt never once thought, when heard it,
should learn all its meaning myself;

Thought he'd be true to himself.
But alas for my hopes all delusionl

No bar in its pathway be thrown,
