EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT.

The Spectator of (of n y tables for 1895
have appeared, showing the rate of interest
earned by the 27 leading life insurance
companies They show that the Union
Central Life INSURANCE Co, OF Cincinnati,
O., ratio for 1894 is 7.01 per cent, against
5 68 per cent, the highest of any other COM
pany, and 4 80 per cent, the general aver
age This is an extraordinary showing for
the Union Central, being ! 35 per cent
above the ratio of any other company.
hhas is to say, on an equal amount of
money invested the Union Central earns
as much as the best of the other companies
and nearly one fourth more
Extending the compaFis0n for twenty
years, from 1878 to 1894 the average of the
Union Central for all that time is 6 GO
against SO, the highest of any other com
panv, and 55S the general average.
The Union Central average per cent of
death claims for thirteen years, compared
to mean amount of insurance in force, has
been 0 IS, or 65 cents for each hundred dol
lars Insured. The lowest aver ge of any
other company has been rs and the high

~other best companies has been 1876.

adephia, was the chairman, and delivered
an address.
The principal question, said he, which
should be- considered is how the industrial
training can be best utilized and developed
for the best interest and progress of public
educational Institutions. There are four
different classes of the industrial schools
technical, industrial, trade and normal
training The first three of these have
their place in the education OF children,
bot VIII not solve the industrial problem.
The best method is to be found in what is
known as the manual training school.
This was founded upon the principle that
the tool W. is used TO subserye the in
terests of the school In the manual
training school the brain as well as the
hand is exercised, and the whole man is
more nearly developed The pupils learn
that work is for the development Of our
divine possibilities.
DR.. MacAliEter believed that the manual
training school is capable OF instining in the
minds OF the pupils a greater respect for
workingmen than any other agency The
manual training school gives an all around
education and the pupil has an opportunity
to keep abreast OF every advancing move
ment of science and its applications. The
manual training school also enables the
young man 10 choose better and more com
petently his life calling.
In conclusion DIR. MacAllister said it was
not intended that the manual training
| school shall supersede or take the place
lof the general curriculum OF the public
schools.
DR.. w. T. Harris. commissioner of edu
cation. referred to the advantage of the
manual training school system over the
apprentice system. The apprentice sys

apprentice TO do the drudgery instead of
educating the directive thought. This
latter is the chief feature of the instruction
Of the industrial schools. He held to the
theory that science and knowledge should
re-enforce the handiaborer. The indus
trial school means the abolition OF long
terms of apprenticeship from seven years
to short course in industrial schools
Mr.. w. n. Hailmann, superintendent of
the Indian schools, Department of the
Interior, spoke on education as a factor
in the settlement of the labor question,
and dwelt especially on the value OF the
education to that end in the kindergarten
schools. He regarded the labor question
as one of adjustment, the solution of which
would be reached by giving labor its proper
place. All work has some phase of art
or creation, either OF the laborer himself
or another's art.
Froebel holds that labor is a duty and
enjoyment right, but that both shall be
equally shared by all. BY this means
labor itself becomes a JOY.
