The Abolition Of the School District
System.

Just now the friends Of education in the
good State of Maine are discussing the
property of abolishing the school districts.
and movement is on foot before the Leg
ialature to grant the necessary enactment
to put the school deestriCt" on the retired
LIST.
Ia our opinion the time is now here,
when it should be abolished. 1t has out
! we'd its usefulness, if it ever had any, and
we suppose it has been one of the necessi-
ties of the past, but now it has had its day.
We can conceive how IN the early con-
t.ton of the State when towns were
>parsely populated and municipal organiza-
ton was very primitive and incomplete.
the district system might have been the
f;test medium through which the children
might have been reached and such school
tanning given them as was within the gift
If the town but that time has long since
gone by
For wears the cause Of education has
had no greater obstacle to overcome than
tie school district system. Nothing has

EXTRA SESSION.

President Cleveland has called an
extra session of congress August Z,
to see what can be done to relieve
the present financial condition OF the
country. Most of the prominent
fnanciers are in favor OF repeal
ing the Sherman law, but no one
knows what ought to be done after
repeating that law. 1t will be very
hot in Washington but the discuss
ion of the financial situation will be
ever warmer than the August wealth
err. The democratic party have a
chance to make record for them
selves, but we doubt if they can
agree on any financial policy.
Certainly neither party should be
governed by any political consider
atoms in deciding upon a policy to
be pursued. Too much is at stake
to let politics interfere with our
finances.

ENCOURAGE THE BOYS.

The recent success of a ten-vears-
old Caledonia county boy in secur-
ing bounty on maple sugar made
by himself shows what ambitious
boys on the farm can do when they
are given chance.
The average farmers boy, it is
safe to say, is not given an oppor-
tunity to do for himself in some such
way as this; his ambition to town
something" is too seldom encour-
aged and it is but natural that.
when he has reached a certain age,
ne feels drawn towards other cal
llngs which promise to satisfy his de-
sire to accumulate property for him
self.
In large majority of cases, we
venture to say, where the boy on
the farm is allowed the sense of
ownership even when quite young,
the result is Notwithstanding the
boys love for the farm and develop.
ing at the same time his business
abilities.
BY all means give the bows a
chance-not only on the farm, but
in other branches of business in
which the parents are directly inter.
ested. 1t may save the lads from
drifting in hap-hazard way, into
avocations for which they have nc
special aptness, but which they take
up simply for the sake of earning
something
Farmers generally would be les.
likely to lose the supports they sc
much need, and business center,
would be likely to be less crowded
with young men earning scant,
livelihood, if a little more attentio,
was given to cultivating and "hill
ing up" the ambitious tendencies O
boys on the farm.

THE VICTORIA DISASTER.

The details of the disaster to the
English battle-ship Victoria, by
which over 400 lives were lost, show
that the blame belongs to Vice
Admiral Tryon, the commander of
the fleet. He ordered the big ships
to turn towards each other when
they were too close together. The
Camperdown and the Victoria were
the only ones to obey orders and the
awful disaster was the natural and in
inevitable result. Sir George Tryon
never left his post on the bridge and
went down with his ship. More
lives were lost in this disaster than
in all the naval battles between the
European navies in the last 20 years.
The accident proves conclusively
the terrible destructiveness of the
ram in naval warfare. The United
States is the only country that has
yet built vessel for ramming pur-
poses alone and the ram Katahdin is
a powerful adjunct to our navy.
America now leads the navies of the
world in quality though not in
quantity.

academies the other day the ques-
ton arose as to how early in a stu
dents school or college life it was
desirable to make choice OF calling
1t was contended, on the one hand,
that a final decision was difficult to
make, in many cases until the acade-
my or college diploma had been Sc
cured and the graduate had had
time to get his bearings and from
the numerous fields OF usefulness
opening before him select the one
best suited to his taste, or for which
the discipline and training OF the
school room had fitted him. This
NAV be true as regards the student
who goes no farther than the
academy; but the young man who
defers the definite choice of career
until the college doors have
closed behind him after four years
course loses valuable time and is
more than likely to find himself dis
tanced by his fellow.student who,
settling upon lifework early in his
college course, directs his energies to
that end and pursues especially that
line of study which will best equip
him for the labor of his choice.
1t would seem possible in many
instances-and its desirability can
not be questioned-for the student
at the fitting school to reach some
conclusion as to the nature Of his
life work by the time his diploma is
handed to him; and in this the work OF
the conscientious teacher along lines
of development towards which the
pupils mind turns, may prove
potent factor.
Given a decided inclination at the
close of the ftting-school career, the
elective courses of the college and the
special training given in scientific,
commercial and professional institu-
tions, open the way to a thorough
educational equipment for any cal
ling in life, and the young man or
woman who can go beyond the
academy has no lack Of facilities
within easy reach. There is an inn
mense advantage in deciding early
on a career and then making full and
effective use of the mediums through
which the most complete training
for that career can be secured.

In a discussion with bright

Retaining Youth In Mature Life.

Not only does tie vivacity, the en-
thusiasm, which belongs to youth carry
the man who retains it in middle age
over difficulties, but it brings him the
sympathy and applause of the world,
which is sometimes refused to more
worthy men.
We honor Bacon, but we give our af-
lection to Charles Lamb. Washington,
Jefferson, Adams and Webster COM
manded the homage and veneration of
the nation, but it loved Clay, Lincoln and
Blaine, with all of their faults.
The tendency of American life is to
force our young people into shrewd
adults, who try anXiously to rid them
selves of impulse and emotion.
1t is a common sarcasm among the
young that their fathers and mothers en-
JOY jokes and are touched by sentiment
which their children are quite too old to
care for.
But may not the fia de steele boys and
girls be losing an element of strength
when they forget how to weep and make
merry. Youth's Companion.
