hold their own, though one gown is shown
having pulled yoke and an ungathered,
perfectly straight front falling plainly to
the feet, unbroken even by girdle. There

brought down from the shoulders to the

SCHOOL EXCURS IONS.

In late number OF the Forum a Nj j.
NJ. Rice gives an interesting account OF
party OF publ C school children on an ex-
cursion from Indiana TO Washington and
historical localities in the vicinity. The
purpose of The trip was to teach geography
and history. School superintendent,
school principals and teachers went along
to direct the exI loraiions Of the children
into the right channels. Mr. Rice con-
siders the trip an immense success. All
had a good time. Officials and people of
note in the cities visited received the educa-
tional rarity with profuse hospital V.
Probably none of them had been made so
much of before. II was a kiud of love
feast 10 which the few who were invited
had front seats. The cost Of the trip to
pupils was $50 each. 1t does not appear
that the school superintendents, principals
or teachers paid anything. Most of them
were, dou 0tless, under salary and were net
adverse to putting in time in sightseeing
Mr.. Rice seems TO think that il would be
good plan to make junk ting part of our
public school course OF study. lie is Ger
tain that geography may be taught In this
way more effectively than by textbooks
and maps. A visit to a field of battle
would impress upon the minds of children
the fact that there had been such bate
more wildly than by ordinary study. In
these conclusions, doubtless, Dir. Rice is
right. But there are difficulties in the way
of school excursions on a large plan which
he does not consider. The parents of a
good many children in our public schools
can hardly afford TO spare the $50 that
trip is estimated TO cost The parents OF
some of them can, but it would be hardly
consistent with the fundamental idea of
our public schools to discriminate between
the rich and the poor. If The excursions
were of real benefit, the rich would to tha.
extent have an advantage over the poor.
II it were a pleasure trip it would create
heaIt-burDilgs fer which there should
never be given cause IN our public schools
1t is time enough after school days are
over, when the heart has been toughened
by experience. to subject young people t.
the discipline the Inequalities of condi-
ton makes necessary. The danger to our
public school system lies in such visionary
projects as this. Already more than nine
tenths of the school moneys are expended
Oh less than one-lenth of pupils enrolled
in the public school lists. The excuse is
that the higher education is expensive
Any teacher can teach a primary class,
and consequently salaries may be low.
But the higher and intermediate schools,
it is saids must have high-salaried teachers.

WENT OVER IN A BODY.

The leading sugar-plaDlers of Louisiana
have declared for projection for all Amer
lean industries. This in effect is a move
ment into the Republican camp. The
Louisiana sugaT-planters have evidently
seen that ther demand for protection for
themselves and for free trade for other il
dustries was untenable. They saved sugar
from beng put on the iree list in the pres
ent tariff by such tao les, but of course
they could not expect 10 win by such
means again. When there is no predom-
mating issue to hold men to one party
they will drift from it when they find that
their interests are served thereby. Free
trade or protection is matter of policy.
The people of a State or a nation choose
the side which seems best 10 them. Each
nation, each Stale and each individual
keeps self-interest in view. When the
Louisiana planters discovered that protec-
zion was necessary for sugar their eyes
were opened 10 the necessity Of protection
for other industries. If for sugar, why
not for iron, the production of witch is a
leading industry of the neighboring State
OF Alabama? And if for iron, why not for
the conversion Of raw cotton into clotn,
which is leading industry Of Georgia?
The predominant race question las kent
the new South tied to the party of free
trade. even while admitting that if the
predominant question was removed from
politics the natural place of at least sew
eral OF the Southern States would be in
the Repu blican column.

NO DANGER IN NON-PARTSANs

man or a measure may be almost as
well known by the enemies it makes as by
the company it keeps. The Non-Partisan
movement in this campaign is but few
days old, yet already it has drawn the fire
OF the friends Of bossism, of monopoly and
generally of those interests which stand in
terror Of good government as menace TO
their own purposes. The cry has thus
early gone out that non-partisanship
threatens all manner of political evils, and
especially the supremacy Of this or that
regular" party. Properly there should
be no such thing as regular party 10 mu-
nictpal politics, except the union of all
good citizens against the forces Of corrup-
ton and malsdEinisTatlon.
People who have lived in San Francisco
through all the vicissitudes of its history
do not need to be tod that no harm has
ever come to the city from a Non-Parti-an
movement. Under whatever name it has
appeared - PEOPLES party, Taxpayers
PARTY Or Non-Partisaus-it was always
made for the benefit of the substantial in
terests of the city. 1t could not be other
wise. because a NOn-PaTtisan movement is
nothing else than a movement of good
citizens TO manage their own public inter-
ests on business PRINCIPLES and to keep cor

persons can take a hand without fear of
hurting any person or cause that is entitled
