LABOR AND LABOR SAVING MACHINERY.

ADVOCATE that labor saving mRchln-
cry has displaced labor, and is one
of the causes of the enforced idleness
of the present time. The Capital
says:
The way saving machinery has
OpaPated has been much more beneficial to
society and every class Of il. Il has en-
abled cne man to do perhaps twice the
work he could do before. Il has increased
wages and cheapened goods. The people
have been enabled TO consume and use
more gOodP and to increase the demand far
beyond the mere population increase Of
the country, and az consequence there has
been o very large expansion Of industry
and the final result is that labor-ssving
machinery has given men work, not de-
prived men Of work.
Now If the Capital desires to be
fair in this discussion, 1T will do well
to limit It's criticisms to actual differ
ences of opinion. We do not dis
pute that labor-saving machinery has
chespsned goods and stimulated con-
sumption, thereby increasing the de-
mand beyond that which would re-
suit from increase of population. We
do not question the advantages to be
derived from the proper use of labcr-
saving machinery. We need waste
no words therefore over these prop
ositions The question is, has 80
ciety, as a whole, derived the benefits
from the use OF labor.saving
machinery that 1t might have
done under different sys-
tenn? We think not. Under the
prevailing system the capitalist has
been the chief beneficiary. Suppose
we admit, for the sake Of the argument,
that the wages Of those who are en-
ployed to operate the machinery,
have been increased. How does that
help those whose services have been
displaced by machinery? The Capt.
tai says ''it has enabled one man to
do perhaps twice the work he could
do before" This shows the concep-
tion which the editor Of the Capital
has Of the real situation. Carol d.
Wright in his report Of the tenth
census says:
Il 10 quite impossible to arrive at an ac-
ourate statement as TO the number Of per-
sons ID would require under the individual
system to produce the goods made by the
present factory workers Of this country, but
by careful computations in some branches
Of work q rough estimate Of the whole
would indicate that each factory system
employe in 1882 Representa-, an average. Of
at least fifty employees under the individual
system. Thus IL would require about one
hundred and fifty million persons working
under the old system TO produce the goods
made by the three million or so factory
workers Of to-day. This estimate
will hardly be disputed when it is cOnsid-
cred that in spinning alone, eleven hundred
threads are spun now at one time where
one was spun under the old system.
As a further illustration of the
effect Of improved machinery we
quote from the Minneapolis Times
of March 10, showing the effect even
of it's limited adoption upon single

Anent Country Schools.

In the country schools, whore the organi-
zation is controlled almost entirely by the
teacher in charge, there is little difficulty
found in selecting a basis for classification
Let us contiue ourscf to tho "Rcader.
Those who arc rcaiing in the First Reader
should recitc together in the other studies.
Those who read in the Second Reader should
also he classed together. 1t is sometimes
necessary to have more than one class in
each Reader. Then before the First Reader
is finished it may be necessary to have
another class. The same is true of the
Second Reader class. Teachers should
guard against multiplying classes. Much
will necessarily depend on the exigencics
that arise, and much good judgment must
be exercised in starting new classes aud
placing Tutl s. II - sv..s,irn"s necessary
to give individual instruction TO ccralu
pupils, in order t, bring them up to the
requirements OF the class into which they
should be placed. 1t is better TO do this
than to start new classes, especially if the
pupils are deficient in but one or two
branches. ordinarily there sh uli be bn,
ono class in the First Reader, one in The
Second, and So on.
When beginners enter school and new
classes are being formed, the que> ton arises:
GLOW can | teach these pupils t. read ,"
Discretion, common sense. sng9city, aud
circumstances determine the course TO be
pursued The books In use, the number of
pupils in the class, the aptitude uf the
pupils will ali influence the action OF the
teacher.
There is one poiut wish to impress on
the minds of MI teachers T"rch me j9jj;:3
.jrom tie hrst, 10 r'ad wiH proper expression.
Teach them rs sHou as possible to rccognizsJ
whole sentences at sight Begin with short,
easy sentences and let each sentence be
thoroughly mastered by sound, by letter,
by word, and as whole, so that it can be
uttered with proper articulation and ex-
preston. They sncull rsdd IKE ulkWg."
Eye culture aud proper expression are the
objects sought. There is no reason why Il
pupil in the Sccoal Reader should not he II

Fifth. But 50 long rs teachers will allow
pupils TO hesitate ~! puzzle and stammcr
over Lessons that are to> hard for them, and
