that the thousands of children in the
city to-day who are not receiving the
education the law provides they should
receive, will certainly become criminals
when they grow up. The compulsory
education act must be enforced. and the
duty of the next Legislature is to pass a
law prohibiting the employment of chill
dren of certain ages in certain trades.
Where children are employed inspectors
should be authorized to visit the places
where they work in order to see that
they are properly treated, and not sub
Jected to immoral communications.
Above all, the employment of boys in
the messenger service. which requires
them to visit houses of ill-repute. should
be absolutely forbidden. The companies
make the lame excuse that they cannot
get the work done by any one but boys.
They will be able to have the work
done if they pay proper wages to men.
In France and England old soldiers act
as commisSionaires or messengers. and
many men would gladly accept the po-
sition, but not at the muniticent sum Of

ger boys of this city. Many persons
will say that to take boy away from
work and compel him to 90 to school. in

but they must remember that it is bet
ter to drag boy from his home to
school. than that in later years he he
dragged from his home to prison.

The Pioneer One-Price Clothing
House..

House..
Mr.. Henry Weber has opened hand
some Clothing and Gents Furnishing
Store in the Fitzpatrick Block. on
Wabasha street, northwest corner, at
junction of Eighth and Ninth streets.
Mr.. Weber is a young pioneer in st.
Paul. In 1869 he entered into the en-
ploy of the old reliable firm of r. and j.
nj. Warner, who, at that time, were
located on the corner Of Wabasha and
Third streets. He held this position
for nearly twelve years. (Mr. r.
Warner is now one of the prominent
firm of Lindekes, Warner 4 Schur-
meier, and Mr.. j. Nj. Warner is in the
/ Real Estate business.) In 1881 Mr..
Weber engaged in the Clothing bust
ness for himsef in the Michaud Block,
near the corner OF Wabasha and Sew
enth streets. Last year Mr.. Michaud,
the owner of the building, found it
necessary to enlarge his grocery bust
ness, next door. and gave Mr.. Weber
notice to vacate. In the spring of 1886
a large delegation of citizens from the
Eighth ward composed of men of both
political parties, called on Mr.. Weber
and urged him to accept the nomination
for alderman, a position he at first
refused. as there was no salary attached

would take large part of his time
from his business. He was nominated,
however, and elected for two terms
-four years.. Last spring he refused a
denomination, as he found it absolutely
necessary to attend TO his private bust
ness affairs. NJ. Weber was always
conscientious and honest IN his dealings
with the public: he has served his ward
and the city faithfully. He has always
proven himself friend of the working
people. His liberality and charity are
also well known.and. while now he will
again be able to give his personal atten-
ton to his business, he is deserving of
patronage in his new enterprise. Gail

yield of barley in Minnesota to be
$40 bushels per acre. and 1920

would think that Minnesota is a

They give the wrong date of the

The average school attendance of
bows was 2.S months per year; Of girls,
Is. The average work of boys per
week was SO hours. of girls ST hours;
average wages of boys S2.4l per week,
girls S3.01. The parents of these chill
dren were laborers, engineers, police
men, boilermakerS. bricklayers, tin
smiths, BARRIERS, real estate agents,
painters, coopers, bartenders, tentmak-
ers and cigarmakers. Of the boys eX-
amined the father was living in 1872
cases, the mother in 332. SO where the
father was dead, DC where the mother
was dead, and Is cases where both
parents were dead. These cases are
only few of thousands that exist. The
question arises, will the children who
are imperfectly educated recruit the
criminal classes? Many persons have said
that want of education is not the cause
of crime. If the figures of the last cen
SuS are worth anything, and the report
of the United States commissioner of
education, DR.. William Il. Harris, be
an authority, it certainly is fact that
the illiterate and the imperfectly edu-
Gated classes contribute the majority of
inmates of prisons.
What Statistics Show.
DR.. Harris, in a most able address be-
charities, held in Washington in 1855.
dwelt at great length on the subject Of
compulsory education in relation to
crime and social morals. He quoted
from the report of the United States
commissioner of education for 1872.
which showed that in the state prisons
and jails of New York and Pennsylva-
MIA, out of Il, 772 prisoners, 10 per cent
were totally Ignorant, the totally ign0r-
ant and very ignorant amounted to So
per cent, which, added to the very de-
ficient, gave total Of upwards of 60
per cent.
The prisons of the central Northwest
showed 1881 prisoners; 40 per cent
were totally ignorant, 6 per cent very
ignorant, 20 per cent very deficient. a
total of 70 per cent very deficient, very
ignorant or totally ignorant.
In Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Cali
fornia. out of 1897 prisoners. 81 per cent
we're totally ignorant. 10 per cent very
ignorant. 10 per cent very deficient, q
total of 80 per cent of totally ignorant,
very ignorant and very deficient.
The census returns of 1870 show that
in the Eastern states only 4 per cent of
the population was illiterate, and yet
the illiterate prisoners amounted to SO
per cent of all the prisoners. In other
latIon furnish So per cent of the crimi-
mails. twelve times as many prisoners from
the illiterate as from an equal number
of not illiterate. This is more than eight
times the quota they should furnish if
education made no difference in the
matter.
In the central West 81 per cent of
the population was illiterate, and 46 per
cent of the criminals illiterate. The
illiterates of the population thus fur
nish thirteen times their share of the
criminals. In the far West and the
Pacific section, 3 per cent illiterates
| furnished 81 per cent of the criminals,
Or ten fold their quota. In the three
| Southern states where education was
very low. % per cent of the illiterates
| furnished 60 per cent of the criminals.
In France. according TO the returns of
DR.. e. e. Wines, from 1867 to 1869 the
