He Wanted to Know.

The big, fat-bottomed western
steamer had not made landing, and
the captain was celebrating whether it
would be advisable for him to do so,
when thin voice piped off shore:
"Say, cap'n, going ter land ?"
want anything ?" sang out the officer,
going forward.
wall, yes" came the deliberate re-
ply, and thinking there was some bust
ness to be taken of, the master gave
word to the pilot and the ungainly
steamer began to swing around for the
landing. The numbering craft slowly
obeyed her rudder and in the course of
ten minutes her guards were grating
the muddy. uncertain banks of the old
river.
@What do you want?" asked the cap
tain, addressing the little man who
sauntered up the plank.
@When'r ye goin' back up stream?"
he queried, looking over the boat with
q critical eye.

The Pubic schools,

The Public Schools.
The figures relating to public school
attendance, published by the CEN
sus bureau, bring out the encouraging
fact that the greatest gains in school
enrolment and attendance have been
made, for the most part, precisely
where they were most needed. That Is
to say, the States Of the Union where.
ten years ago. the greatest proportion
Of children we're without school advan-
tages are, as rule, those which now
show the greatest gain in public school
enrolment.
All the Southern States for which
the figures of public school attendance
have been collected and tabulated, show
great proportional gain.
In Virginia, for instance, the gain in
the enrolment of children in public
schools has been IS per cent; in
Louisiana, 53 per cent. in South Caro-
lima, 81 per cent. /; in North Carolina,
~ per cent. in Maryland, % per cent.
At the same time in several of the
States where the public school attend
ance was already comparatively high,
and is 90 still, the enrolment of pupils
in the public schools has not increased
in as great proportion as the popula-
ton.
This is the case with nearly all the
Northern States east of the Mississippi
River, and is in most of them due to the
increase of parochial schools, main
tanned by churches.
In two States, Maine and Vermont.
an actual loss in public school attend
ance is recorded. Maine had about
II, 900 fewer pupils enrolled in the pub
lie schools in 1890 than in 1880, and
Vermont about 1000 fewer. Yet in
each Of those States the population had
slightly increased.
Virginia and North Carolina have
come into the front rank of States in
enrolment of public school pupils in
proportion to the total population, hav-
ing over 20 per cent. of school enroll
ment in proportion to population.
In other words, the tendency of edu-
cational development is to equalize the
conditions which prevail in the several
States. 1.-THE States where free pub
lie schools have been longest in exis-
tence wish to maintain their relative
rank, they must take measures to in
crease their school attendance.

II have the best of information that q
syndicate of Englishmen, backed by
