In Fsvorits studies.
These facts about the decline Of
arithmetic as an educator were gath
cred from the principal of one of the
Detroit public schools by writer for
the Free Press. What he says applies
only to the Detroit schools, though It
would seem that the failure Of what
was ten years ago regarded as the
most important grammar school study
might not be confined to the city
limits Of the place named. In the lat
ter part of the '70s, and well along in
the sos, he says, the pupil who was
quickest and surest in arithme-
tic was also the quickest and
surest to gain the esteem and
influence of the teacher. He
might be an ignorsmous in geography,
an undecipherable penman, slow to
perceive the principle of grammar,
and q miserable speller, but If he
grasped the point and pith of q catch
problem in decimsls or in fractions,
his future promotion to higher class)
was assured. But . change, gradual
and sure, has been going ON in the cur
riculum of the common school. The
arithmetical despot has taken q seat
In the rear, while the young fellow
who seeks after real information in
the form Of history Of lands, peoples
and government, correct spelling and
speech now sits on front bench. The
human mind is unsettled in its youth
ful stage. It requires training. and
the school exists only for this purpose.
Arithmetic was once supposed to be
the best form Of mind-training. It
brought into full play the powers Of
reason, and was placed first in impor-
tance. But experience proved that
while the reason was to certain ex-
tent exercised the memory was neg
lected. Again, the longest time and
hardest work were devoted to arithme-
tic, and the other studies were disre-
garded. With all of these concessions
the arithmetic lesson was not more
than half learned. To-day the pupil
delves deeper into the more intellectual
researches Of civil government, gram
mar, geography and reading. He can

The Steamer Brings Information from

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18.-The Oceanic
steamship Australia arrived from Homo
lulu at 9:20 this morning, bringing q
small list OF passengers and the informa-
tion that no unusual occurrence had
disturbed the course OF affairs at the
Hawaiian Islands. Minister Willis had
presented his credentials in due form to
the provisional government and had
been received as the accredited repre-
sentative OF the United States. He had
not made public his instructions from
the United States. Secretary Gresham's
letter had not been received nor heard
OF and. go far as known by the public,
Hawaiian affairs in the United States
were still in statue buo.
Among the passengers on the Aue--
tralia. were the exTU United States consul
Las Honolulu. H. w. Severance and wife,,
and Mrs. Admiral Sksrrett and daugh-
ters. "
Ex-CoNsLUL SEVERANCE TALKS.
Being interviewed by representative
of the Associated Press Immediately on
the arrival Of the steamer, ex-Consul
Severance said: mo one at Honolulu
has heard anything about the restora-
tion OF Queen Liliuokalini being in
tended by President Cleveland. Thera
was no talk of bloodshed or resistance.
In fact, go far aa I have been able to
learn, all the excitement over Honolulu
affairs appears to have been stirred up
in this country. The provisional gov
ernmenS is not making special prepara-
tions to protect itself by force against
the return to power of the queen, and
has not received any large invoice Of
arms, 30 far as l know. Public senti-
ment on the islands toward the queen
and toward the Dale government is
much the same as it has BEEN"
''Do you think there will be serious
trouble if the United States attempts to
depose the provisional government? ?'
asked the reporter.
II have no opinion on that subject
was the reply. "Such an emergency
has not arisen and is not contemplated
by anybody any more than. it has been.n
NO CASE OF DISTURBANCE.
Other passengers who were seen said
much the same things as Mr.. Severance.
All causes of disturbance or excitement
had been totally absent at Honolulu
when the steamer left.
An officer of the Australia said that
the queen would be restored. In one
instance he said large sum had been
offered on wager that she would be ON
her throne again in three months, but
the bet was not taken.
