Arctic service than the one just fin
ished for the use of DIR. Nansen's Arc
tic expedition. The vessel is con-
structed on nearly similar lines to
those of a Scotch buckieboat or Norwe-
gian pilot. She is furnished with engines
Of about 10 indicated horse power,
powerful pumps to be worked by steam
or hand power and electric lighting
machinery. She also takes with her
a balloon TO be held captive for pur-
poses of observation and carries seven
boats-four on davits and three on
slSids over the main hatchway. Two
of these, larger than the others, are
capable of carrying the entire crew,
with provisions for several months,
and warm tents in the event of .he
abandonment of the vessel.
The expedition will leave Norway in
February next so as to arrive at Boring
straits in June, when the vessel will
enter the Arctic waters and push her
way as far as possible toward the pole
TO the north of the Liakhov islands,
where she will be frozen in, and then
conveyed, according to DIR. Nansens
theory, to and past the pole, and be
finally discharged into the East Green

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

rhes President OF Harvard AssaiIs the
Character of Their Teachings.
1t cannot be denied that there is Sc
rious and general disappointment at
the result of popular education up to
this date. In spite of all efforts to
make education universal, all classes
complain more than ever before of the
general conditions of society. Yet
after two whole generations it seems
as if some increase of genuine reason
ableness of thought and action in all
classes of the population ought to be
diseernible. Many persons, however,
fail to see in the actual conduct of the
various classes of society the evidence
of increasing nationality, writes Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard.
The educated critics of the practical
results of public education complain
that lawless violence continues to
break out just as it did before COM
mon schools were thought of, that
lynch law is familiar in the United
States, riots common from Berlin to
Seattle, and assassination an avuwed
means of social and industrial regenera-
ton, Even religious persecution.
these critics say, is rife. The Jews are
ostracized in educated Germany and
metropolitan New York, and in Russia
are robbed and driven into exile by
thousands. Are votes less purchasable
now than they were before the urban
graded school and the State university
were known?
On the other hand, the lcast-educated
and most lahorious classes complain
that in spite of universal elementary
education, society does not tend toward
1 greater equality of condition. They
lllege that the rich man in modern So
ciety does not bear, either in peace or
in war, the grave responsibilities which
