THE formidable obstacle in the way
of discouraging the tremendous in huX
of immigrants is the unexampled rep
utation the United states has acquired
in Europe for wealth and generosity.
There is not beggar between the
banks of the Thames and the Darda-
danelles who has not hal poured into
his willing ears tales of American
streets where the only effort necessary
to acquire wealth is to hold out the
baud. Information of the generous
charity which has uniformly been OK
tended to paupers, whether native OF

mouth to mouth in Europe until even

CRITICISM of the school system is
good for the schools if only it calls at
tention to faults. 1t is easy to point
out that the schools are not satisfac'
tory in their results That may be
admitted at once. But the question
to he asked in regard to the defect
pointed out is whether it may be rem
eded or is unavoidable. Probably the
most general cause of failure of the
schools to make more striking sue
cesses lies in the fact that Pr)viden &c
has not gifted his children overplenti-
fully with brains. Any system Of ed
ucation must run up against this fact,
and the system is not to be blamed fol
not accomplishing the impossible.

THE complaint against too diffuse
education. the learning of many things
and nothing thoroughly, has been the
cause of quite little criticism. 1t is
often discouraging to find how little
result has come from the instruction
given to children in the schools, how
little remains to them of what they
have read or been told. 1t is argued
from this that If their attention was
kept to few subjects they would
show more thorough knowledge and
leave school with a ,rucr education

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.

IT. LOUIS. Dec. To- ne merchants
who have large holiday stocks of goods
TO sell, pay handsomely for the ideas
their advertising agents give them
The streets are crowded with people
ready TO buy and yet bewildered by
the alluring shows IN the hig windows
holds he throng for a few minutes in
front Of his place is sure to make
money by IT. This week one merchant
got an idea that set his competitors at
their wits end to compete with him.
He had an enormous show window, in
full view of the street, filed with his
most attractive and expensive toys
mechanical aud otherwise. and put two
little boys in it. All day long the
youngsters played with the figures,
winding them up and letting them run
out; shot at targets with guns aud
bows and lay down and looked at
gorgeous picture books. The street in
front was blockaded with people, and
ms dc the clerks were kept busy selling
the things with which the lads were
playing. The idea has spread over the
town, and boys who like to play with
TOYS can easily get places in every one
of the shops now.
Postmaster Harlow could have
chosen no better time than this, when
the mails are crowded with Christmas
presents, and the carriers worn out
with overwork, for the extension OF
the street railway postal service he es-
= tablished some time ago.
St Louis is the only city in the coun-
try that has such a thing, and the
Postmaster has no models to help
him. He started the system on a line
of electric cars, running twenty miles
east and west, and found that it saved
a score of carriers and several hours
in city deliveries. He has now decided
to improve the system by adding q
cross-town line 10 it, so that the peo
pie living in the north and south vii
get their mails quickly as wei as
these in the west and east. The Other
electric lines viii be added TO the sys
tenn as fast as the government can be
induced to make the necessary appro
priations.
